Chapter 1139: Falling into a Trap
Qi Yingxuan was both anxious and angry. He was worried about Ye Wanxi and the other girl's situation, and even angrier at himself for being so useless and unable to help at this crucial moment.
Jun Wuduan spent a lot of effort to completely eliminate the several demons that had developed consciousness in this place. When he turned his head, he met Qi Yingxuan's slightly red eyes.
He realized something was wrong and quickly grabbed Qi Yingxuan's hand, scolding him, "Calm down, don't let the formation affect you."
Qi Yingxuan shuddered, suddenly waking up in a cold sweat.
He was unknowingly influenced by the formation and almost got led by the nose.
After dealing with the monsters elsewhere, Qi Yao rushed over and noticed Qi Yingxuan's unusual behavior. She patted him on the shoulder and said with a stern face, "Cheer up! Nobody's chasing you to break the formation, what's the rush? You get flustered over the slightest thing. You're not as composed as your junior sister. You're hopeless!"
Qi Yingxuan looked ashamed after hearing what she said. He opened his mouth to say something, but then he saw Jun Wuduan grab Qi Yao's hand with a serious expression and pull her back.
"Talk is talk, but don't get physical. It's not a good thing." She then gave Qi Yingxuan a particularly disdainful look.
"..." Why are you glaring at me? Go ahead and glare at Qi Yao if you dare! She was the one who started it, I'm the victim, okay? You henpecked husband!
Qi Yingxuan was filled with grievances and resentment, but the two of them interrupted him and calmed him down.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down and recall the documents about the Heaven-Slaying Array that he had studied in his previous life, and closed his eyes to feel the array's fluctuations in the air.
The so-called "slaying the heavens" is actually quite easy to understand. It can be seen from the literal meaning that it means using formations to shatter the void, thereby artificially creating a path to heaven, changing the laws of heaven and earth, defying fate, slaying the heavens, but becoming an immortal, although this immortal is an evil immortal.
But for an ordinary mortal to use formations to contend with the heavens and earth, one can imagine the terrible and heavy price that would have to pay.
The price of the Heaven-Slaying Formation is the people of this city, or rather, the wronged souls of this city, and even that is not enough.
Wait, there aren't enough people in this city...
Qi Yingxuan suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look in a certain direction.
"I see."
Qi Yao was angry because of Jun Wuduan's inexplicable behavior. Before she could get angry, she heard Qi Yingxuan's words and turned to look at him in confusion: "What do you understand?"
"I think I know the key to this formation."
Qi Yao's eyes lit up slightly: "Really?"
"We're not entirely sure yet; we'll have to go and see for ourselves."
"Then we..."
"You guys stay here and help." Just as Qi Yao was about to speak, Jiang Lin appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Qi Yingxuan, and said, "I'll take him over."
The moment they finished speaking, the two of them vanished from Qi Yao's sight.
Qi Yingxuan was like a pitiful little kitten, his fate held by the scruff of Jiang Lin's neck, being tossed around at will.
After being carried and bounced around for several blocks, feeling like he was about to throw up, Qi Yingxuan finally couldn't help but complain, "Couldn't you have taken me there in a gentler way?"
For example, using a sword, at the very least, carrying him on your back is more comfortable than just lifting him up like this!
"As long as it's fast." The method doesn't matter.
Qi Yingxuan was so angry he almost spit fire from his nostrils: "With a temper like yours, you deserve to be a bachelor for life!"
Jiang Lin glanced at him indifferently upon hearing this, without even stopping her steps: "Oh."
Jiang Lin: "..." Oh my god!
Then she remembered that Jiang Lin seemed to have a lot of loyal female fans, and even some die-hard male fans, making him popular with both men and women.
A lump suddenly formed in my throat. I felt indignant and sour, wondering what those people liked about this deadpan face. Was it just because he was handsome?
Fine, for the sake of my junior sister and senior brother, I'll endure it!
Ye Wanxi was unaware of the little incident that had just occurred. She helped the injured Feng Tianyu retreat a short distance and was wondering about Wu Yequan's radiant appearance when she heard a buzzing sound in her ear.
Turning around, I discovered that several drones were flying not far behind me, each equipped with a small camera.
In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck Ye Wanxi, and she looked at the drone with surprise.
Even through the camera lens, everyone could clearly see Ye Wanxi's expression, and for some reason, an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.
However, before they could investigate further, they were startled into screaming like chickens by the approaching Wu Yequan.
[He's coming! He's coming! Little Ye, Mr. Feng, run!]
Wu Yequan did indeed come, but instead of killing Ye Wanxi and her companion as everyone had expected, he looked at them with a sense of superiority, as if he were about to become the victor, his eyes filled with condescending pity.
"Is it worth sacrificing your life for these ant-like mortals? It's not too late to regret it now. I can spare your lives and even help you become immortals."
Many people's hearts skipped a beat when they heard Wu Yequan's words, including Xiao Jihui and the others who were anxiously waiting outside the barrier.
While most people were worried that Ye Wanxi and her companion might be in danger and waver, Xiao Jihui and the others were more concerned that the two might not be able to resist temptation.
After all, that's about attaining immortality and becoming an immortal. As a cultivator, how many people can resist the temptation of immortality and ascension to immortality?
Even among these mortals, upon hearing Wu Yequan's words, there were probably quite a few who felt greedy and secretly coveted them.
But at this moment, Ye Wanxi was unusually calm. She raised her eyes to meet Wu Yequan's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Your target is not just the people of Z City. We have all fallen into your trap."
Xiao Jihui and the others were slightly taken aback. Was the purpose of this person not just to target people from Z City? A trap? What kind of trap?
The people who were closely watching the live broadcast were equally shocked and terrified.
What's going on? Have other places been affected too?
[No way, this is terrifying! Where did this happen? It couldn't be around here, could it? No way!]
[I was so scared that I ran outside to look at the sky. It was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything. I was even more frightened.]
Is there really no way to deal with this terrorist? How many more people have to die before this ends? Where are the higher-ups? Why is there not a single capable person among them?
Because of Ye Wanxi's words, everyone was plunged into unprecedented panic and frustration at being powerless against the unknown.
In an instant, the barrier shrouding Z City became even more vibrant, and the large black mass that Ye Wanxi and the others had finally managed to break through gradually solidified, appearing even larger and more dangerous than before.
These changes all confirmed Ye Wanxi's guess. She bit her lip and glared angrily at Wu Yequan: "From the very beginning, you released a lot of smokescreens to guide us to break the formation and restore the signal in the city. But in reality, this is your ultimate goal!"
