Thousand Ghost Yin Gathering Formation
"Brat, you're finally awake. Hurry up and release the Nine Flames of Karma. These ghosts are most afraid of powerful flame energy like heavenly fire."
Xiao Hei, who was working with Cheng Huang to stop the countless ghosts, also noticed that Zhuowen had woken up. She could not help but shout at him.
Although Zhuowen was extremely puzzled, now was clearly not the time to be in a daze. Hence, he did not hesitate to use the Nine Flames of Karma. Nine-colored flames continuously erupted as a terrifyingly high temperature spread.
"Ya ya ya!"
The ghost that had escaped the Mental Energy barrier and was continuously howling and beating at it directly melted under the high temperature of the Nine Flames of Karma. It screamed miserably and was finally annihilated.
Subsequently, Zhuowen waved his right hand and the Nine Flames of Karma spread out. The entire room turned into a sea of fire. However, Zhuowen's control of the flames had reached the pinnacle and he did not set anything in the room on fire.
The cries of ghosts and howls of wolves continued to resound. Instantly, all the ghosts in the entire room were annihilated by the Nine Flames Karmic Fire. The remaining ghosts all fled toward the wide open windows. Their miserable cries were sometimes far and sometimes near.
"Ah!"
A miserable scream suddenly rang out from the room next door, causing Zhuowen's pupils to shrink. He muttered, "Oh no!" and immediately rushed out of the room and rushed towards the room next door.
The moment Zhuowen opened the door, his hair stood on end as he discovered that there were countless human heads floating outside the inn. Their hair was disheveled, their faces were dripping with blood, and their eyes were empty and colorless.
Perhaps because they had discovered that Zhuowen had opened the door, these human heads howled and rushed towards Zhuowen.
"Die!"
Zhuo Wen let out a cold snort as the Karmic Fire of Nine Flames surrounded his body. When the heads that were flying towards him got close to the Karmic Fire of Nine Flames around his body, hissing sounds could be heard as they were all annihilated.
"Damn it, what exactly are these things?"
Zhuowen's expression was ugly as he stepped into the room where Xu Ronghua was. He threw out a palm and directly smashed through the door. Then, he saw Xu Ronghua lying on the bed. Her body was covered with many ghosts that were absorbing the Yang energy from her body.
Xu Ronghua's eyes were tightly shut. Her body was covered in cold sweat as she muttered incoherently. If one listened carefully, it was as if she was speaking incoherently and no one knew what she was saying.
"Scram!"
Zhuowen coldly snorted as the Nine Flames of Karma burst forth. Immediately, the ghosts attached to Xu Ronghua were annihilated by the Nine Flames of Karma.
At the same time, the Nine flames of Karma, the Karma, of Karma, and Karma and the Karma and Karma and the Karma and the Karma.
Countless ghosts were Karma, Karma, and Karma and Karma, Karma and Karma and Karma..
At this moment, Xu Ronghua's face was extremely pale. His eyes were tightly shut, and he was still speaking incoherently. It was as if he was having an extremely terrifying nightmare.
"It seems that this woman is the same as you. She has also fallen into an illusion." Blackie sighed softly.
"Karma?
So what I saw just now was all fake? "
Zhuo Wen was stunned, and then he turned his head to look outside the window. He noticed that the sky outside the window was still pitch black, and it wasn't dawn at all. It looked like Xiao Hei was right, and everything he'd seen and heard earlier was probably an illusion.
"Why did I fall into an illusion?
And the ghosts outside the room, could they be the remains of the dead creatures in Three Origin City? "
Zhuowen frowned. He had many questions. What exactly happened in Three Origin City?
"Could it really be the work of an evil cultivator?"
Zhuo Wen muttered softly as he recalled what he had experienced in the illusion.
"There is a Thousand Ghost Yin Gathering Array in this city. I did not notice it when you first entered. When you fell into the illusion and the ghosts appeared, I guessed it." Xiao Hei's voice was extremely solemn.
"Thousand Ghost Yin Gathering Array?
What kind of array is this? "Zhuowen had an ominous feeling.
Xiao Hei sighed and said, "The Thousand Ghost Yin Gathering Array is actually an evil array that can refine the flesh and blood of living creatures. The flesh and blood of living creatures who die in this array will be turned into energy for the array while their souls will become ghosts and kill other living creatures in the array.
It also has an extremely strong hallucinogenic effect. "
"I'm afraid that someone has set up such an array in Three Origin City in advance and used this method to kill all the living creatures in the city. I'm afraid that all the living creatures in this city have become the nourishment for the Thousand Ghost Yin Gathering Array."
Zhuowen's eyes narrowed and he asked, "Then, the other four cities at the border have also been set up by someone with this evil array?
What is the purpose of setting up such an array? "
"The purpose of course is to quickly increase one's strength!
Generally speaking, cultivators absorb the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth into their bodies to gain strength and raise their cultivation level. Therefore, the energy in a cultivator's body is actually the essence of the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth. However, for ordinary cultivators, it is impossible for them to refine the energy in a cultivator's body. "
"However, the Thousand Ghost Yin Gathering Array can simplify this process and become a medium to absorb the energy in a cultivator's body. Once the energy in the Thousand Ghost Yin Gathering Array reaches a certain level, the person who set up the array only needs to come to the eye of the array and absorb the energy in the array. Then, their cultivation level will rise to an extremely powerful level in a short period of time." Xiao Hei continued.
Zhuowen's eyes turned cold and he said, "That is to say, the person who set up the array is very likely to be in Three Origin City?"
Xiao Hei nodded and said, "Yes, and it should be at the eye of the array. At this moment, it is controlling the ghosts in the array to attack you."
"If this Dragon Lord had not woken you up just now, I'm afraid you would have become one of the ghosts in this array."
Upon hearing these words, Zhuowen's body turned ice-cold. He had been too careless this time and had actually fallen into the trap. Fortunately, Xiao Hei had warned him. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Let's wake Miss Xu up first."
Looking at Xu Ronghua, who was still trapped in the illusion on the bed, Zhuowen formed a sword finger with his right hand and suddenly pointed it at the former's forehead. Waves of cool Immortal Power poured into Xu Ronghua's mind.
"Ah!"
Soon after, Xu Ronghua cried out in alarm and suddenly sat up on the bed. Her eyes were filled with fear and her breathing was rapid as her chest heaved up and down.
"Zhuowen … you … I …"
Xu Ronghua quickly noticed Zhuowen, who was beside the bed. She softly cried out and began to speak incoherently.
"Miss Xu, listen to me."
Zhuowen's expression was solemn. Soon after, he recounted everything that had happened in detail. Xu Ronghua did not suspect anything. After all, the ghosts outside the room were the best evidence.
"Ten Thousand Ghost Yin Gathering Formation?
Someone actually set up such an evil formation in a city at the border of our Divine Specter Realm. It's too hateful. "Xu Ronghua's beautiful eyes were filled with resentment. It was obvious that she had heard of the Ten Thousand Ghost Yin Gathering Formation.
At this point, Xu Ronghua looked at Zhuowen with some worry and said: "Zhuowen, what should we do now?
I'm afraid that we have already been discovered by the person who set up the formation. It won't be easy for us to leave this place! "
"There's always a way. Let's wait until tomorrow. The Yin Qi is the strongest at night and these ghosts are the strongest. Tomorrow, the ghosts' power will be reduced. Tomorrow, we'll take the initiative to find the person who set up the formation."
Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and his voice was slightly cold. This time, he had almost suffered a great loss, so he naturally could not let it go just like that.
Hearing this, Xu Ronghua nodded lightly and did not refute Zhuowen. Although her cultivation was higher than Zhuowen's by a small realm, in terms of strength, she knew that she was no match for Zhuowen.
After all, the young man in front of her was an existence that had killed the eighth level Emperor Stage Seventh Azure Dragon Envoy at Capital Sky Peak.
Moreover, the Nine Flames Karmic Fire on Zhuowen's body was very effective against ghosts. Even if they were in the Ten Thousand Ghost Yin Gathering Formation, those ghosts would not be able to do anything to Zhuowen and her.
Just as Xu Ronghua's thoughts were running wild, Zhuowen took out a pill from his spirit ring and handed it to her.
"This is …"
Xu Ronghua was stunned. Soon after, she felt the strong medicinal fragrance from the pill in Zhuowen's hand. That medicinal fragrance actually made her salivate.
"This is the Snow Lotus Lustrous Jade Pill, a healing pill. Previously, a lot of your Yang Qi was absorbed by the ghosts and your strength was greatly reduced. Take this and heal your injuries first. Tomorrow, we'll go find the person who set up the formation." Zhuowen said indifferently.
Receiving the pill, Xu Ronghua softly said a word of thanks and swallowed it.
"What a rich medicinal effect."
The instant she swallowed the pill, Xu Ronghua's beautiful eyes brightened. In just ten breaths, she discovered that the medicinal effect of the pill that she had swallowed circulated throughout her body, causing her entire body to feel warm. At this moment, more than half of her previous injuries had been healed.
Xu Ronghua's beautiful eyes stared at the figure sitting cross-legged on the floor in the room. Her eyes were filled with gratitude. Since this pill had such medicinal effect, it must be extremely precious.
The fact that Zhuowen was able to give such a pill to her clearly meant that he treated her as one of his own. This caused Xu Ronghua's heart to jump with joy.
Time passed very quickly and the night gradually receded. The ghosts that were originally outside the room had become dispirited. Moreover, they were avoiding the sunlight and burrowed into the ground, not daring to show their heads again.
Zhuowen suddenly opened his eyes and withdrew the Nine Flames of Karma. He said to Xu Ronghua, "Miss Xu, we were attacked by ghosts last night. I'm afraid that we were discovered by the person who set up the formation. It's not very possible for us to leave Three Origin City now. Therefore, we need to find the formation core and the person who set it up."
Xu Ronghua nodded and softly said, "Qin Ze and the others have more than twenty people. Should we go look for them?"
However, Zhuowen shook his head and said, "There's no need to look for them. I'm afraid that they've already met with misfortune and become nourishment for the Thousand Ghost Yin Gathering Formation."
Hearing this, Xu Ronghua gritted her teeth and a trace of sorrow appeared in her beautiful eyes. In truth, she had already guessed this, but she didn't want to believe it.
"Come with me!"
Zhuowen stepped out of the inn and brought Xu Ronghua to the central area of Three Origin City. Subsequently, he placed his right hand on the ground in the central area and a surge of Mental Energy gushed out and drilled into the ground in the central area.
After all, Zhuowen had inherited all of the Bi Fang's knowledge and experience. With the Bi Fang's identity as an Arcane Saint Master, he naturally had a unique method of breaking formations.
