Chapter 1108 Taking Their Lives
Bai Xiaohua moved her hands, which had been used in the crime, as if she was disgusted by the things that had gotten on them, and then turned to wave at Ye Wanxi.
Ye Wanxi's eyes flickered slightly as she took out a wet wipe and carefully cleaned it.
The little guy being held by Feng Tianyu almost got so angry when he saw this scene that his nose almost twisted out of shape.
This cunning fox will pretend to attract its little owner's attention, and the little owner actually falls for it, which really annoys it!
Bai Xiaohua carefully examined her paws, and only after confirming that she could no longer see any dirt did she jump contentedly into Ye Wanxi's arms, indicating that she could leave.
For reasons unknown, Ye Wanxi subconsciously looked up at Wu, only to find him standing there in a daze, seemingly still surprised by Bai Xiaohua's sudden move.
Seeing this, Ye Wanxi seemed to understand something, but she didn't say anything. She picked up Bai Xiaohua and left the oppressive place.
Only after the two left did Wu seem to suddenly wake up from his daze. He stiffly stared in the direction they had gone, a wave of bitterness rushing to his heart, causing him to subconsciously reach out and cover his chest.
He felt as if something had completely disappeared, leaving a void in his heart.
Ye Wanxi and her companion came out of there, their moods not very pleasant.
"What do you think?"
"He is a confidant of Wu Yequan, so what he says is somewhat credible."
"Some of it may be credible, but it may not be entirely credible. It might just be a deliberate attempt to spread alarmist rumors to confuse our judgment and buy time."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanxi paused slightly and turned to look at Feng Tianyu.
Feng Tianyu also stopped and looked up at her.
The moment their eyes met, they understood each other's thoughts.
Although they hoped that Wu's words were just ramblings after being arrested and wouldn't count, they also knew very well that given Wu Yequan's character, what he just said was entirely possible.
Ye Wanxi remained silent for a long time before suddenly asking in a low voice, "If Wu Yequan wanted to set up the Heaven-Slaying Array again, where do you think he would choose to do it?"
Feng Tianyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his grip on the little guy tightened unconsciously.
The little guy was hurt by his grip, but it didn't fly into a rage as usual, because, like Feng Tianyu, it was frightened by Ye Wanxi's words.
The Heaven-Slaying Formation, though named for slaying the heavens, actually slays countless living beings.
Ye Wanxi accidentally broke through this formation back then, but she paid the price with her life.
If Wu Yequan really wants to set up the Heaven-Slaying Array again, will the tragedy of that year be repeated?
When Ye Wanxi saw Feng Tianyu's expression change, she knew he had remembered something, and she couldn't help but regret bringing up the very thing she shouldn't have.
Just as I was about to say something to change the subject, Feng Tianyu spoke first: "Dragon Vein."
"What?"
"If he wants to set up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation again, he is most likely to choose a place where the dragon vein passes through."
The so-called "dragon vein" is actually a concept in geomancy, referring to a continuous range of mountain ranges.
Ancient emperors believed that the direction of mountain ranges symbolized the dynasty's fortune, so they often built their tombs in places where the dragon veins were located, in order to pray for the prosperity of their descendants and the longevity of the empire.
The place where half of the divine soul was suppressed in the Sealed Heaven Domain was a dragon vein, but the range of dragon veins is naturally vast, so there is not just one or one.
As times have changed, most of the dragon veins are still in the form of mountain ranges, but some places have been transformed by moving mountains and filling in seas, becoming bustling urban areas where people live.
Unlike Ye Wanxi and others who cultivate the righteous path of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, Wu Yequan cultivates the path of killing, which requires endless killing and bloodshed to prove his path.
If he wanted to set up the Heaven-Slaying Array, he certainly wouldn't choose a desolate, uninhabited mountain wilderness; the best choice would be a bustling, densely populated city.
Ye Wanxi's mind raced through countless places, and she finally narrowed it down to a few that seemed most likely. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a series of hurried footsteps approaching from not far away.
"Miss Ye, Mr. Feng!"
The employee who had brought them here rushed out from the end of the corridor. His eyes lit up when he saw the two of them, and he hurried over to them, saying, "I've finally found you! Something terrible has happened!"
Ye Wanxi's heart skipped a beat: "What happened?"
"It's complicated to explain, so why don't you come with me and take a look?"
Seeing his anxious expression, Ye Wanxi and the other woman didn't ask any more questions and followed him up to the lobby on the first floor.
By then, a number of people had already gathered in the hall. When they saw the two appear, their expressions became somewhat subtle, and they spontaneously made way for the two to walk to the screen in the hall.
A video was playing on the screen, and the main character in the video was Wu Yequan, whom they had been searching for all this time.
Having been resurrected, he looked to be no more than thirty years old, with a flowing beard, a simple yet luxurious hairstyle, and even a bright smile on his face, looking just like a kind and approachable martial arts master from an ancient costume drama.
Even though Ye Wanxi and the others already knew this person's true nature, they couldn't relax at all when they saw him like this. Instead, they felt inexplicably cold and uneasy.
Sure enough, the next second, Wu Yequan on the screen uttered a shocking statement.
"As you can see, I've set up a formation here." Wu Yequan said, stepping aside so that everyone could see the scene behind him clearly.
It was noon, a time when the sun should have been shining brightly and the sky should have been cloudless, but now a large area of the sky was covered by dark clouds.
These dark clouds piled up in layers, forming a huge circular magic circle that slowly rotated around its center. Lightning flashed and thunder roared within the clouds, and dark currents surged, much like the apocalypse in a disaster movie.
"This is a magic array that can devour an entire city in an instant. Starting from its core, all areas covered by it will become my private territory. People within its range will become meat on my chopping block, at my mercy to live and die, and to be disposed of at will."
As if to verify the truth of his statement, Wu Yequan casually raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the direction he pointed from the dark magic array.
With a loud bang, a three-story building was instantly engulfed in flames. Even from a distance, people could still see the crowds fleeing in panic and hear their terrified screams.
"It's such a wonderful scene, it makes you want to play it a few more times."
When Wu Yequan said this, his face was full of intoxicated joy and unrestrainedness, as if he really only regarded this as a game, which made the onlookers unable to help but feel angry.
"Unfortunately, even the best game isn't fun to play alone. How about this, I'll make a deal with you: I'll exchange Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu's lives for the lives of everyone in this city. One day is the deadline; whether they die or everyone in the city dies is up to you."
