Chapter 82 (1)
The Lan family members who were being remembered by the head of the Hong family did not leave the secret realm.
The curling green smoke slowly dissipated with the breeze blowing from somewhere in the secret realm.
The statue sitting high in the shrine absorbed the faint but tempting power of the incense and sighed slowly, "What a mouth-watering smell..."
It was just a little bit of willpower gathered from the Lan family's belief in submission, but it could actually make its body more refined.
If it could obtain the power of will that Emperor Zhao had collected for Rong Jing, which was almost the power of will given by all the people in the world, then why would it need to plan with the Lan family? It could just condense a physical body and directly devour and refine the vitality and luck.
The aura it exuded was cold and dangerous. The head of the Lan family seemed to be aware of something and could not help but lift his head and glance upwards. He met the other party's empty and strange eyes that were between those of a wood and a living person.
His heart skipped a beat and the head of the Lan family bent down again. Then, as if he sensed something, his expression became stern.
The head of the Lan family: "Who is it! Who broke the life-changing formation?"
The statue also spoke at the same time: "The life-changing formation has been broken... We really can't underestimate him."
The head of the Lan family recalled that he had asked Lan Qinghong to take people to repair the formation, and his expression became a little worried and nervous.
Now that the formation is broken, Qing Hong and the others who just went to repair the formation -
The head of the Lan family is over sixty years old, but he only has Lan Qinghong as his son.
Because Lan Qinghong had been busy developing the Lan family in the past few years, he had not married, so the only direct descendant of the Lan family was Lan Qinghong...
If something happened to Lan Qinghong, what would be the use of all the Lan family's foundation that he had worked so hard to build?
Just when the head of the Lan family was anxiously trying to get up and look for Lan Qinghong, there was a slight noise outside. The disciples of the Lan and Huang families, led by Lan Qinghong, finally hurried back.
The head of the Lan family looked at Lan Qinghong's condition carefully. Seeing that he was just a little pale and his breath was a little weaker, and there was nothing serious going on, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qinghong, what's the situation outside? Didn't you go to repair the formation? How come it's broken again?" After making sure that Lan Qinghong was fine, the head of the Lan family asked anxiously.
The development of their Lan family in recent years has been built on the vitality extracted from the life-exchanging formation.
Compared to other things given by the statue, this life-changing formation is the real solution to the Lan family's urgent needs.
Countless vitality diluted and washed away the evil blood of the evil spirits brought by the art of controlling ghosts. From then on, the members of the Lan family no longer had to be affected by the side effects of the art of controlling ghosts when practicing. This undoubtedly played an extremely important role in the development of the Lan family.
For the head of the Lan family, everything else is secondary. The only thing that the Lan family will never give up is the life-changing formation.
At this moment, the life-exchanging formation set up in the secret realm was suddenly broken. Although the head of the Lan family knew before that Rong Jing seemed to have some attainments in the life-exchanging formation, he did not expect that the other party could not only deal with ordinary life-exchanging formations, but even this kind of formation that cost the Lan family countless efforts and was formed by the superposition of several formations could be broken so quickly.
The contempt for Rong Jing in his heart finally lessened a little. The head of the Lan family raised his eyes to look at Lan Qinghong, waiting for his answer.
Lan Qinghong had just been injured by Rong Jing's spiritual power. When he heard the question from the head of the Lan family, he coughed a few times with a pale face, and then slowly told him what had happened to his group of people.
To be honest, Lan Qinghong knew that Rong Jing was very strong ever since the metaphysics exchange event, but he never expected that Rong Jing would be so strong.
Their Lan family had spent countless resources to build such a large formation, but it was as fragile as a veil in the hands of the other party.
Whenever Lan Qinghong thought of the chain rushing towards them like a long golden dragon, his expression became even uglier.
He had always felt that although Rong Jing was strong, as long as he continued to practice diligently, with the blessing of the Lan family's secret realm, he would sooner or later defeat him.
But just from the power displayed by the opponent's attack just now, Lan Qinghong knew that there was a huge gap between his own strength and Rong Jing's.
He is clearly the most advanced Heavenly Master in this generation of the Lan family, and even in the entire Southern Province. I wonder how many Lan family disciples and ordinary Heavenly Masters have been overshadowed by his brilliance.
It was not until today that he realized that his so-called brilliance was as ridiculous as a firefly boasting under the scorching sun.
Evil thoughts are rampant.
Lan Qinghong suppressed the blood boiling in his chest, then raised his head to look at his father, the patriarch of the Lan family.
After listening to his narration, the head of the Lan family also realized that his previous estimation of Rong Jing was still a little underestimated.
Pursing his lips, he turned around and bowed deeply to the statue on the shrine: "Your Excellency, look..."
When it comes to matters of life, the Lan family has made other preparations.
But Rong Jing's strength is there. If he is not dealt with first, then even if another life-changing formation is activated again, it will eventually be broken by Rong Jing.
The only one who could stop Rong Jing... apart from the Lan family's and Huang family's heads working together, was the statue.
Recalling that the other party could only live in the statue, but could make the thousands of evil spirits raised by the Lan family do its thing without being seen, the head of the Lan family couldn't help but feel even more wary of the statue, but his face still showed an attitude of submission and respect.
The statue seemed unable to see the hidden thoughts in his heart. After a moment of silence, it said in a deep voice: "Activate the Heaven-Slaying Formation."
The so-called Heaven-Slaying Formation is not a single formation, but a formation formed by the ingenious fusion of several extremely dangerous killing formations by a top-level heavenly master.
Back then, it used the lives of thousands of Zhao Dynasty people to attract the Heavenly Dao, and then used this formation to tear a corner of it.
Although this unfair law of nature has never been erased, the opponent has not shown up many times in the past few hundred years, so it seems that the crack has not yet recovered.
No matter how strong Rong Jing is, can he be stronger than the way of heaven?
The statue felt pleased, and its words were filled with murderous intent.
When the Lan family's Patriarch heard its reply, he paused for a moment and then replied in a low voice, "As you wish, Your Excellency."
The most important core rune for activating the formation is in the hands of the head of the Lan family. However, the power of the Zhutian Formation is so great that the spiritual power required to activate it is also vast and boundless.
The head of the Lan family can be considered an extremely outstanding Taoist priest in Southern Province. In particular, he specializes in controlling ghosts, which requires his skills to suppress the hostility of evil spirits. Therefore, his spiritual power is stronger than that of ordinary Taoist priests.
But even so, his spiritual power alone is still far from enough to activate the Zhutian Formation.
Gritting his teeth, Patriarch Lan said, "Patriarch Huang, please lend me a helping hand."
The Lan and Huang families were originally allies. Although this secret realm was exclusive to the Lan family, the Huang family also gained many benefits from it.
At this moment, they have been remembered by the special department and the Tianshi families and wealthy families in Southern Province. Rather than hesitating at this time and causing the Lan family to doubt them, it is better to go all the way -
Thinking of this, the head of the Huang family did not refuse. He rolled up his sleeves, walked forward, and transferred the spiritual power in his body to the head of the family.
When passing by the statue, the head of the Huang family bowed deeply towards the statue carefully and respectfully, then he felt relieved and continued his action.
With the addition of the spiritual power transmitted by the head of the Huang family, the rune that activated the Zhutian Formation finally lit up with a silver light.
However, this level was not enough to awaken the Heaven-Slaying Formation. Patriarch Lan gritted his teeth and called out, “Qing Hong!”
Lan Qinghong also understood what he said.
Although he was still a little weak, thinking of Rong Jing's final fate once the Zhutian Formation was put into place, Lan Qinghong pursed his lips, called his cousin and everyone else, and transmitted their spiritual power over together.
A few gather together to make a lot. Although the cultivation of the younger generations of the Lan family and the Huang family cannot compare with the Lan family head and the Huang family head, they have the advantage of numbers. With the circulation of spiritual energy, they managed to light up the runes that opened the Zhutian Formation.
The silvery-white light was as warm and light as the silver frost on the bright moon. Lan Qinghong looked at the extremely complicated inscription and suddenly thought of Rong Jing again.
The other person's long silver-white hair was as dazzling as the rune, and his temperament was as cold and mysterious as the bright moon.
Unfortunately...
Lan Qinghong didn't know what he was feeling sorry for, he just couldn't help but sigh.
Although he was jealous of Rong Jing, he didn't know when this jealousy was mixed with some inexplicable emotions.
The rune finally lit up completely, and the head of the Lan family manipulated the rune and sent it into the depths of the secret realm.
Only an indescribable buzzing sound was heard exploding within the secret realm, and an invisible formation was activated in an instant, directly covering the entire secret realm.
As soon as Rong Jing raised his hand to retract the spiritual energy chain, he felt an invisible but profound sense of danger coming from afar.
The ground beneath his feet shook slightly, and Rong Jing reacted in an instant, saying coldly: "Come towards me!
His voice was not loud, but with the blessing of spiritual power it traveled very fast and far.
Everyone was stunned when they heard an extremely pleasant and cold voice. Then they all reacted and subconsciously moved towards where Rong Jing was.
Master Long Tianshi and the others also vaguely sensed something. After directly eliminating the remaining evil spirits, they pulled Zhou Songyun to Rong Jing.
The Lan family has a backup plan!
As soon as this thought came into their minds, everyone discovered that the surrounding environment had suddenly changed drastically.
The strange rocks are piled up and dangers are lurking everywhere.
Beasts as fierce as tigers and dragons appeared in the jungle, baring their ferocious claws and fangs, and attacked Rong Jing and others.
They look like animals but are not animals. They are "creatures" condensed by the power of the formation. They have neither the smell of yin nor the breath of spiritual energy. They seem to be a mixture of chaotic power, carrying an extremely dangerous feeling.
Taoist Miaoyin tried to throw out a few evil-dispelling talismans to repel their approach. However, the talismans, which were filled with a faint spiritual energy, fell on the bodies of the ferocious beasts according to Miaoyin's own thoughts, but they directly passed over their bodies and fell to the ground.
No entity?!
Without a physical body, ordinary means would be powerless against these ferocious beasts. Also, because these beasts have no evil spirits, talismans, scriptures, and even poisonous insects cannot cause any harm to them.
But at the same time, the bloody wind they brought when they attacked was extremely real, and their ferocious claws were enough to tear a fragile human body into pieces just by looking at them with the naked eye.
Because of the nature of the Heaven-Slaying Formation, these beasts had no sanity at all, and the only thing on their minds was kill! kill! kill!
Its scales are as hard as iron and its body is huge.
Everyone retreated hastily, only to see the blood-red mouth of one of the beasts right before their eyes.
"Help--"
I don't know who shouted, and then there was a commotion in the crowd. Everyone subconsciously squeezed towards where Rong Jing was, as if in this extreme danger, the only safest place was with the other person.
In order to protect them, Master Long Tianshi and others also moved aside and were pushed by the crowd to the front of the ferocious beast.
The closer it gets, the greater the pressure from the ferocious beast becomes.
Taoist Master Miaoyin clenched the whisk in his hand, and Master Yuankong also held the rosary on his wrist.
When those ferocious beasts attacked together, Master Yuankong, Taoist Miaoyin, the head of the Hong family and others all mobilized their spiritual power and used their own methods to barely delay their approach.
However, the other party had no entity and did not need the evil energy to support its movement. What everyone did was only to add some obstacles to their actions, but still could not hurt them at all!
——Is there really no other solution?
Seeing this scene, almost everyone showed a look of despair.
Rong Jing looked at the ordinary people who kept crowding towards him, and then looked at Master Yuankong and others who were almost in direct confrontation with the ferocious beast. In the end, he couldn't help but sigh.
A golden light that was brighter than the spirit snake just now suddenly burst out, and endless complex runes lingered around it. Almost in an instant, it formed an extremely solid formation that protected everyone.
The panicked crowd looked at the pale golden formation that suddenly lit up beside them, and the pushing and shoving stopped. Rong Jing took this opportunity to move his body and directly separated the crowd with his spiritual power, and then walked to the side of Master Yuankong and others.
The formation he drew was also a very famous guarding formation in the Dazhao era, called the Seven Stars Guarding the Moon Formation. It used spiritual energy to draw the power of heaven and earth and borrowed the power of celestial phenomena to guard the four directions.
However, the spiritual power required for this formation was equally huge. With Rong Jing's cultivation level, after setting up this formation, he actually felt a little short of spiritual power.
Pursing his lips lightly, Rong Jing held the spirit pen in his hand and continuously absorbed the spiritual energy scattered around to restore his spiritual power.
The four ferocious beasts were temporarily blocked outside by the Seven Star Moon Protection Formation, but they could only defend and not attack. When Rong Jing's spiritual power was really exhausted, the outcome that everyone would face would be even more difficult than it was now.
So after feeling that the attack of the four ferocious beasts was blocked, Master Yuankong and others began to think of ways to eliminate the four ferocious beasts.
Rong Jing happened to come over here at this time. Master Yuankong glanced at him and then chanted a Buddhist name: "Master Rong Tian has consumed so much spiritual energy. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Although Master Yuankong specializes in Buddhism, he also has some knowledge of the general art of talismans and formations.
The guard formation that Rong Jing had just set up might seem simple, but in fact, an unknown amount of mental and spiritual energy was required!
That complex and exquisite formation pattern is so difficult that even ordinary formations would be difficult to set up in such a short time.
After all, the more powerful the formation is, the more complicated the formation patterns are. If someone with a weaker foundation were to set up such a formation, just drawing the formation patterns required for the entire formation would be enough to drain all the spiritual power of a heavenly master.
Not to mention that while mobilizing spiritual power to draw the array pattern, he also has to connect heaven and earth at the same time. After all, the array is relying on the power of heaven, earth and stars. As long as his mental power is slightly insufficient, the entire array will be weakened by more than ten times.
But just looking at the aura of the formation that was strong enough to withstand the simultaneous attacks of four ferocious beasts without being shaken, one could tell that the formation drawn by Rong Jing must be extremely powerful.
He actually drew such a powerful formation by himself...
While Master Yuankong was questioning Rong Jing, Master Long Tian and others were also observing his expression.
Perhaps because he consumed too much spiritual energy in a short period of time, Rong Jing's already fair skin now looked a little too pale.
The pale pink lips lost some of their rosiness, and her long silver-white hair looked a little messy, probably because of being caught in the crowded crowd.
But overall, things seem to be okay.
Although they felt a little ashamed, Master Yuankong and others also understood that if they were to ask who among the people present was most likely to deal with the ferocious beasts outside, that person would definitely be Rong Jing.
After hearing Master Yuankong's question, Rong Jing also responded with a soft "hmm".
Amber eyes calmly fell on the beasts outside. Rong Jing looked at the beasts' very different yet extremely ferocious appearances, and pursed his pale pink lips slightly: "Heaven-destroying Formation."
Master Yuankong reacted in an instant: "Master Rongtian, do you recognize this formation?"
Master Yuankong entered Taoism the earliest and was the one who had seen the most among those present. But even he could not tell what the four beasts present were, and what kind of formation the Lan family had set up.
But when Rong Jing just opened his mouth, his expression was extremely calm and determined.
Master Yuankong couldn't help but sigh and wonder how this man practiced. At the same time, he couldn't help but stare at him closely, waiting for his answer.
Rong Jing frowned as he looked at the four ferocious beasts, but he didn't keep them in suspense and directly told them what he knew.
The so-called Heaven-Slaying Formation is not a single formation, but a large formation formed by the combination of several killing formations.
"Legend has it that once the Heaven-Slaying Formation comes out, even the Heaven will have to avoid its edge. It is a killing formation created by a Heavenly Master who defied the will of Heaven." Rong Jing said slowly, his eyes slowly moving over the four ferocious beasts.
The greatest feature of the Zhutian Formation is that it is a formation that can absorb the power of Heaven, but the spirit of the formation it created hates Heaven and even those who have the aura of Heaven.
The four beasts outside were the spirits of the formations evolved from one of the killing formations. Ordinary Heavenly Masters might not be able to recognize them, but Rong Jing, as the Imperial Master of the Great Zhao Dynasty, had seen the existence of these beasts from some secrets leaked by Heavenly Master during his confrontation with Heavenly Dao.
Taowu, Hun Dun, Taotie, Qiongqi.
The four evil beasts were not tolerated in the world. In ancient times, they were punished by heaven and disappeared between heaven and earth.
But their own strength cannot be ignored. In the little secret of heaven that Rong Jing glimpsed, if it were not for the fact that the Heavenly Dao was strong enough back then, with the strong and ferocious temperament and strength of the four fierce beasts, they would probably not be able to do anything to them.
Even so, the way of heaven seemed to have suffered serious damage.
Among the four fierce beasts, Taowu is ferocious and brave. Chaos controls the boundless darkness and is blatantly evil. Qiongqi is cunning and sinister, and is the best at finding opportunities. Taotie devours everything by nature, and has hard scales and armor, making it difficult for anyone to be defeated.
From everyone's perspective, they could see that the spiritual light on the Seven Stars Moon Guarding Formation had become a little weaker. Taotie, with its big mouth, was wantonly gnawing at the spiritual energy emanating from it. Taowu, with his steel armor on his head, was directly colliding with the solid spiritual light of the formation. And the black mist coming out of Hun Dun's mouth was also dissipating the power of the formation.
Qiongqi would occasionally take action, but every time it lowered its claws, it would aim at places that had been weakened by ferocious beasts such as Taotie.
As they moved, the Seven Star Moon Protection Formation seemed to be about to dim.
Rong Jing had just recovered half of his spiritual power, so he took action directly. Several array patterns fell on the formation, which further consolidated the slightly dim formation.
But this can only delay it for a while longer.
Master Yuankong and others were not proficient in formations and did not know how to help at this time. They could only distribute their spiritual power to Rong Jing, hoping that he could hold on longer.
"Amitabha." Master Yuankong looked at the ferocious beast outside, closed his eyes, and slowly chanted the Buddha's name.
Master Long bit his red lips, but still asked, "Master Rong, is there really no way to solve them?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Jing strengthened the formation while gently shaking his head.
The Zhutian Formation is not a single formation, and because of this, simply dealing with these four ferocious beasts will not be of much use.
The Zhutian Formation, which combines several killing formations, has many changes and is full of dangers. These four ferocious beasts are just the spirits of one of the killing formations. Simply dealing with these four ferocious beasts, even if they are successfully killed, for the entire Zhutian Formation, it is just the loss of one of its changes.
Moreover, no one knows what kind of killing formation will appear after dealing with these four ferocious beasts.
Rong Jing's expression was slightly condensed, and his eyes carefully captured the aura of the formation that was faintly permeating around him.
If one wants to completely eliminate these four ferocious beasts and even the entire Zhutian Formation, the most crucial point is to find the core of the formation.
No matter what type of formation it is, there needs to be a formation core that condenses the mental power and spiritual power of the formation master.
Although the Zhutian Formation is a formation formed by the combination of several killing formations, in order to successfully integrate the killing formations and operate according to the wishes of the Heavenly Master himself, it requires a powerful formation core for stability and control.
This so-called core may be extremely large or extremely small, and it is more likely to be hidden in the aura of every formation, guiding the operation of the formation.
When Master Yuankong and others saw Rong Jing shaking his head, they all fell silent.
Yes, although Rong Jing is much stronger than them, he is still a human being after all. No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than the way of heaven?
Since this Heaven-Slaying Formation is a formation that can even harm the Heavenly Dao, how can they, who live under the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and whose cultivation cannot be considered to be that of Heavenly Masters who can defy the Heaven, resist it?
Even the Seven Star Moon Protection Formation set up by Rong Jing seemed to be able to hold out for a while, but once their spiritual power was exhausted, the final outcome was self-evident.
But even so, none of the Heavenly Masters present expressed regret.
Master Yuankong and his companions came to protect the people. Even if they died in the process, it was because they were not as skilled as others, but they did not regret coming here.
Master Hong Tianshi and his companions had been blinded by the effects of the secret realm mentioned by the Lan family. Now they were trapped and killed there as raw materials for extracting vitality and luck. It was their own fault and they could not say whether they regretted it or not.
However, the remaining ordinary people seemed to realize something when they saw their behavior.
With trembling lips, Mr. Xu, who had questioned the head of the Lan family before, managed to calm down and asked, "Masters...is there really no other solution?"
He was just asking out of desperation, but who would have thought that Master Rong Tian, whose power was unfathomable, would suddenly look up at him after hearing his question.
Mr. Xu: "...Master Rong Tian?"
"It's not that there is no solution." Rong Jing glanced at him indifferently, but suddenly said.
It is true that he had never come into contact with the Heaven-Slaying Formation, but as an existence that was able to overshadow the brilliance of all the Heavenly Masters, his attainments in the art of formations were not inferior to anyone else.
The reason why he was not very clear about the structure of the Zhutian Formation was that although he had a killing move in his hand, the Zhutian Formation was too inconsiderate of living beings and was not tolerated by the way of heaven, so Rong Jing never touched it.
But at this moment, he carefully felt the faint aura of the formation coming from all around him, and he subtly sensed something.
But this feeling was extremely vague, and Rong Jing couldn't figure it out for a while.
It was at this time that Mr. Xu spoke. He listened to the other party's voice which sounded somewhat familiar, and his eyes brightened slightly.
Just as if a small thread finally appeared in a tangled mess, Rong Jing turned around, walked over, stretched out his fingertips, and lightly grabbed the other person.
Just when Rong Jing and others were trapped in the Zhutian Formation, the Lan and Huang families who were outside the formation felt the murderous aura coming from the secret realm, and their faces also changed slightly.
Although they had seen the danger of the Heaven-Slaying Formation when they were setting it up, the fact that the power of heaven and earth could be used to such an extent was still a little... too astonishing.
Thinking of Rong Jing's fate in the array soon, Lan Qinghong sighed for the first time with mixed emotions.
He and Rong Jing were enemies, not friends, so it was not surprising that they were in this situation. After Rong Jing died, he asked his father not to move his body and to give him a proper burial.
...It can be considered as a token of his good intentions.
Lan Qinghong was just thinking about how to speak to the head of the Lan family when the time comes, when he heard the statue high above the shrine speak again.
"Have you brought all the things I asked you to prepare before?"
Although it was extremely tempting to witness Rong Jing's death, what was even more tempting was that it was about to have its own real body——
A body that is beyond the Three Realms and the Way of Heaven, free from any shackles, enjoying eternal youth, and with a perfect destiny!
So what if Rong Jing had Emperor Zhao working diligently day and night to gather his three souls and seven spirits and reshape his body?
The final result was a bargain for it.
The corners of the half-wood, half-flesh mouth were slightly raised, carrying an extremely strange aura.
The head of the Lan family reacted as soon as he heard his voice. He bent down and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, everything is ready. Should we do it now...?"
"Hmm." The statue was also a very talented person in metaphysics during his lifetime. Otherwise, it would not have been so jealous of Rong Jing's final achievements.
It is obvious that there is not much difference in their talents, but why is it that when everyone mentions the word "Tianshi", the first person they think of is Rong Jing?
This was the case with the Dazhao Dynasty and even the Old Dynasty hundreds of years ago, and it will also be the case with China hundreds of years later.
Why?
Just because he dared to go against the will of heaven? Just because he helped Xie family to secure their throne?
But it could obviously do all these things, but Rong Jing just got there first.
Now, Rong Jing was finally going to die under its scheme. It was not in vain that it had spent so much effort to restore the Zhutian Formation. It was not in vain that it risked its life to plot against the Heaven and Rong Jing.
Can the Zhoutian Gua Pointing Pen break everything in the world?
Oh.
"Bring it here now. The time is just right," said the statue.
At the same time, in the Xie family villa.
Xie Xuanqing had just finished dealing with the stranded business at the branch office. He put a stack of signed documents aside, then raised his hand and rubbed his brows.
The servants in the villa had all left because of the previous arrangements. At this time, only Xie Xuanqing, Butler Chen, and Aunt Ya's family were left in the villa.
Because the chef had also left, Aunt Ya had to prepare lunch.
However, Xie Xuanqing was worried about Rong Jing and had no appetite.
So Aunt Ya simply made a bowl of clear soup noodles.
The soup base is made with fresh beef and bones, and a little bit of salt is added. The hand-rolled dragon beard noodles are chewy and are taken out after being blanched in the soup for a few minutes. A spoonful of fresh and thick soup is poured on top, and the tender chopped green onions add a bit of fragrance to the bowl of vegetarian noodles.
Xie Xuan sniffed the delicious aroma of the noodle soup, but remembered that his husband seemed to like this light and fresh taste the most.
...I don't know what the situation is like for you, sir?
After simply eating the noodles, Xie Xuanqing watched Aunt Ya take away the dishes and chopsticks. Instead of feeling full, his heart did not calm down, but became even more tense.
A vague sense of danger lingered around him. Xie Xuan frowned slightly, and after finishing the business at hand, he put down the phone and looked out the window.
The bright sunshine was blocked by dark clouds at some point, lightning was faintly flashing in the clouds, and a storm was about to come.
His fingertips gently brushed across the cold desk, and only then did Xie Xuanqing realize that his body temperature seemed unusually high.
It was like the blood was boiling, and a hazy and strange melody sounded in my ears.
Xie Xuanqing keenly felt that something seemed to be wrong.
Remembering Rong Jing's instructions before he left, Xie Xuanqing moved his body to the corner, recalled the place Rong Jing had carefully drawn that night, and reached out to gently climb the bay window.
The feeling of boiling blood seemed to calm down a lot in an instant. While Xie Xuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, he also became more alert.
He didn't know what means the other party used to break through the defenses that his husband had set up outside the villa and even in his room...
His eyes darkened slightly, and Xie Xuanqing couldn't help but worry about Rong Jing.
If the opponent's strength is really that strong, then his husband will have to protect the ordinary people who go in with him and deal with the opponent at the same time. He doesn't know whether he will suffer losses.
Thinking that Rong Jing might be injured, Xie Xuanqing couldn't help but frown even more tightly.
The next second, that feeling of blood boiling came back.
Xie Xuanqing had no time to think about anything else. He could only close his eyes and sit on his knees under the bay window. With his hands, he pressed down the formation that emitted a faint spiritual light, silently suppressing the feeling that his soul was about to explode.
In the secret realm of the Lan family, the head of the Lan family solemnly placed a bottle of blood as white as cream in front of the statue.
No one knew what the bottle was made of. It was transparent like glass, with light flowing through it and a hint of spiritual energy blending into it, keeping the blood inside as fresh as the moment it was taken out.
The head of the Lan family stared at the bottle nervously, and saw a faint light falling into it from the fingertips of the statue, and the thick blood immediately created ripples.
"Tick, tick."
As the statue moved, a faint red breath was gradually condensed from the bottle of bright red blood, following the strongest resonance felt in the blood, and slowly floated towards the direction of Xie's villa.
The head of the Lan family had seen the statue take action before, but in order to absorb the power of will to refine the body, the other party has always been very stingy. It requires the Lan family members to burn incense and worship day and night before the statue will take action to solve some problems that the Lan family cannot solve for the time being.
Even so, the strength displayed by the opponent at that time was not as shocking as today's scene.
It was obvious that it could easily make evil spirits submit, but at this moment its attitude was extremely cautious.
A faint spell came out of its mouth, so low that it couldn't be heard clearly.
The wind picked up.
There was a loud flash of lightning, as if Tiandao was enraged, and he finally showed up.
Feeling the breath of heaven, the head of the Lan family became even more frightened.
It's not that he doesn't know that what their Lan family has done in recent years is against the will of heaven, but if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. He is just planning for the members of the Lan family. Even if the will of heaven does not tolerate it, he should not be blamed.
The head of the Lan family thought this in his heart, but he stepped back a little.
A bolt of thunder struck right under his feet.
The head of the Lan family turned pale, but heard a burst of extremely unbridled laughter coming from the statue's mouth: "Tian Dao, you are so weak, can you still stop me?"
--What?
Heaven's Way is weakening?
The head of the Lan family seemed to have heard something incredible. He stared blankly at the motionless but strange and terrifying statue that looked like a god or demon.
The Heavenly Dao did not respond to its questions.
The dark clouds gathered thicker and thicker. The statue looked at the countless silver lightning hidden in the clouds. After laughing, it paid more attention to the actions of Tiandao with greater vigilance.
At the same time, it did not forget to continue chanting the spell, stimulating the inherited power in the blood of these descendants of the Xie family and triggering the resonance of Xie Chong's soul.
It dared to take advantage of Tiandao's weakness to plot against it once before, and this time, it will not lose either.
A hint of coldness suddenly flashed across the stiff and handsome face made of wood and human skin. The statue looked at the bottle of blood of Xie's descendants that was almost fading to transparent, and thought that the memory of Xie Chong's soul should have been stimulated almost enough, so he slowly raised his hand and accurately cast a "Soul Summoning Technique" with his fingertips.
Xie Xuan listened quietly to the rumbling thunder outside and felt his consciousness becoming more and more confused.
The formation engraved by Jing seemed to be aware of the soul state of the person it was guarding, and in an instant it lit up with overlapping and dazzling golden light.
Soul protection array, house protection array, yang protection array, golden light array...
When Xie Xuanqing saw the runes lighting up in the entire room while he was in a hazy state of consciousness, he finally woke up for a rare moment.
Although he knew that his husband had been in the room for more than an hour, Xie Xuanqing did not expect that Rong Jing actually filled his entire room with formations.
At this moment, the pale golden spiritual light filled his side, weakening the invisible, cold and vague sound of scripture chanting that seemed to come from his blood.
Xie Xuan couldn't help but smile, and endured the stinging pain caused by the rapid beating of his heart, and called out softly: "...Mr.
What happened? After reciting the soul summoning spell, the statue looked at the motionless altar and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
