Chapter 1098 Not That Easy
Wu didn't take Ye Wanxi's words seriously. In his opinion, the old man from Linjia Village failed because he was both weak and stupid.
For hundreds of years, he had been hiding in the east and west, and with each person he possessed, he became weaker. When he finally arrived at Linjia Village, the old man's strength was only slightly better than those half-baked people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk to set up such a magic array in Linjia Village for his own use.
Even knowing the other party's helplessness, Wu still felt that the other party was pitifully stupid.
Finding such a place to set up the formation was a last resort, but he could have put more thought into it and transferred the cause and effect of the formation to others, while he himself remained hidden and reaped the benefits.
In this way, even if the formation is broken due to bad luck, it will not backfire on you.
But the old man, whether he was arrogant, thinking that the place he chose was remote enough that no one would notice, or simply lacked the energy and resources to spare, was either too busy to be in two places at once.
In any case, Wu would never repeat the mistakes he made. Even something as important as arranging for Ye Wanxi to have a car accident so that he could switch places with her was done only after he had carefully considered and found a scapegoat.
If Ye Wanxi hadn't impulsively gone to the He family, the cause and effect would never have backfired on him.
The same applies to the magic array in the Wangchuan residential area. As early as the moment he buried the compass, Wu had already thought of all possible escape routes.
The feng shui here was designed and guided by him to be built by investors, and the birth date and time buried in the compass underneath are not his own.
It can be said that he set up this scheme, but he never got to touch it in the slightest. No matter how much backlash it caused, it never affected him.
Not to mention, in preparation for tonight's trap, he had people gather many wandering souls from several funeral homes who had not yet been reincarnated, plus the vengeful spirits attracted from the surrounding area. Wu did not think that Ye Wanxi and her companion alone had any chance of winning.
As the compass was activated, the yin energy within the community grew heavier, and the dark clouds hanging over the community became more numerous and thicker.
The howling cold wind blew in my ears, making my hair stand on end and sending chills down my spine.
Ye Wanxi and the other girl were alright, but the child, who was already ill, couldn't withstand such heavy yin energy.
Upon realizing this, Ye Wanxi immediately placed a talisman on the child to protect him from the invasion of yin energy; otherwise, he would inevitably fall seriously ill after this matter was over.
“You have repeatedly thwarted my plans, and I have tolerated it for the sake of my father. Now that my father has been resurrected, you are no longer of any use. Today, you two shall die together, so that you may have each other on the road to the underworld.”
Wu was protected behind two men in black, watching Ye Wanxi with a half-smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the dark clouds in the sky turned into a huge vortex, just like a hurricane.
Countless vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts flew out from the center of the vortex, baring their fangs and claws, and rushed straight towards the roof where Ye Wanxi and her companion were located.
In an instant, streaks of white shadows flew by, resembling white funeral banners used to create atmosphere in horror movies, cluster after cluster, densely packed, quite frightening.
Ye Wanxi held the child without moving, while Feng Tianyu's long sword was somehow covered with a faint purple light.
Wherever it goes, it is like lightning from the heavens, scattering all filth and evil.
The screams of the vengeful spirits were cut short after only one sound, vanishing into the air without a trace.
As Wu watched the large swathes of vengeful ghosts vanish, his face gradually darkened.
The two men in black blocking his way, worried that he would disregard his weakened state after suffering a backlash and insist on challenging Feng Tianyu, whispered words of comfort: "Young Master, there's no need to rush. No matter how powerful he is, we have gathered countless vengeful spirits. He will eventually run out of strength. When that happens, the surviving vengeful spirits will swarm him and easily devour him until not even bones remain."
"That's right. Even if he can really shatter all these vengeful ghosts, he will definitely have to pay a huge price. Wouldn't it be even more satisfying to beat him when he's down?"
The two men's idea was indeed brilliant. However, they never expected that no sooner had they finished speaking than Feng Tianyu followed the endless stream of vengeful spirits to find the exact location of the compass.
He leaped into the air, hovering in mid-air, his eyes narrowed dangerously as he stared intently at the building below.
The sharp gaze, like a sword, pierced through the dozens of floors below and saw the small compass, which was creaking and spinning deep underground. This was the key point of the great formation.
The moment he found the core of the formation, Feng Tianyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the power of his longsword surged instantly, with the purple light wrapped around the sword rising several meters high.
Feng Tianyu gripped his sword with both hands and swung it down forcefully.
In an instant, the ground shook violently, and the dozens of stories of the building split in two from the very center downwards.
The staff waiting outside the residential area were stunned and incredulous when they saw this scene.
It took them a while to finally realize what was happening. They were incredibly grateful that all the residents in the community had been evacuated beforehand, and there were no survivors inside except for Ye Wanxi and a few others.
Otherwise, the loss of life and injuries from just one building collapsing would be an unbearable burden for them.
While shocked, they also contacted other departments to prepare them for the mess to be cleaned up.
At the same time, they prayed in their hearts that Ye Wanxi and the others could return safely and resolve the troubles here, otherwise, given the situation, their flesh and blood might not be able to withstand it.
Feng Tianyu did not disappoint them. With this sword strike, although the building did not collapse, it was mostly destroyed.
Along with it, the small compass buried downstairs was also destroyed. It was only the size of a palm, about the size of a stove in your hand, yet it supported a huge magic array in this place.
After the building split in two, the compass was shaken out by the ground.
Ye Wanxi glanced over and immediately noticed the bright red bloodstains and dark marks on the compass.
Feng Tianyu showed no mercy. With a swift movement of his sword, the compass, overflowing with chilling and malevolent energy, shattered in two with a clang, and the birth date and time hidden beneath it were ejected.
With a loud bang, it spontaneously combusted without fire and turned to ashes in a matter of moments.
The two men in black blocking Wu's path stared wide-eyed at the sight: "This... how is this possible?"
"Young Master, things have changed. Please leave this place immediately."
The two had prepared to escort Wu away and cover the rear themselves, but Feng Tianyu had no intention of letting anyone leave.
"Want to leave? Not that easy."
A bright sword flash pierced the night and landed on the two men.
With two screams, the two died instantly.
Wu sensed something was wrong and, before Fengtianyu could make a move, attempted to slip away as he had done before, only to find himself... unable to move?!
