"Senior Huangfu, what should we do now? Our Kong family's most talented heir is among them." The newcomers were several King Realm experts from the Kong family. They sensed the abnormality in the Dragon Division and rushed over immediately.
Kong Yan from the Kong family is currently in the Dragon Division. Kong Yan is the hope of the Kong family. Most importantly, Kong Yan has a companion wind-source fire phoenix.
“I have no choice. If I’m not mistaken, this formation is the Heavenly Demon Ten Directions Formation of the Heavenly Demon Clan. The person who set up this formation is no less powerful than me. He also used the Nightmare Clan’s strongest technique, Blood Pull, within this formation. I’m afraid that everyone in the Dragon Tribe has been pulled in by him. If we forcibly attack this blood-colored protective shield, it’s equivalent to attacking those who have been pulled in.” Huangfu Kui said, his expression also somewhat grim.
They thought his arrival would resolve the Dragon Clan's crisis, but they never expected to encounter such a difficult problem.
"Senior Huangfu, is there really no way to help us?" The person who asked the question was Kong Chaoyang, who was also the current head of the Kong family.
Just as he was asking his question, fifty or sixty figures arrived. They represented dozens of families and five or six sects in the Holy Capital. Among them, more than ten were at the King Realm, more than twenty were at the Marquis Realm, and the rest were at the Commander Realm. Upon their arrival, they immediately shared the same idea as the Kong family, unleashing their auras to attack the blood-red energy shield.
"No." Huangfu Kui spoke up directly to stop him, his tone full of authority and irresistibility.
"Senior Huangfu, this junior is puzzled?" Upon hearing Huangfu Kui's voice, Xiang Bang immediately stepped forward. Although Xiang Bang's expression was dignified, his tone was still very respectful. A quasi-emperor is only a quasi-emperor, and is far from being a true emperor. The key is that Huangfu Kui is not an ordinary emperor.
“I’m puzzled too.” Next to step forward was an old man, who looked no younger than Huangfu Kui. He was Yang Zhenkun, the head of the Yang family.
Of the four great families of Shengjing, three are present at this moment, with only the Qi family absent.
"Senior Huangfu said this..." Kong Chaoyang was quite tactful and relayed Huangfu Kui's explanation to the group present. Upon hearing Kong Chaoyang's words, the expressions of the several people present immediately turned very ugly.
Like the Kong family, all the geniuses in their family and sect are currently in the Dragon Department.
"Senior Huangfu Kui, are we just going to stand by and watch the future of our clan die inside?" someone asked.
"Sigh!" Huangfu Kui sighed. Yes! At this moment, there was nothing they could do but watch helplessly as the people of the Dragon Clan died one by one.
Hearing Huangfu Kui's sigh, everyone's faces turned grim. If they had known this would happen, they would never have sent their family's genius to the Dragon Division.
"It seems you really can't contact the people inside the Dragon Palace Tower." Sanmei looked at Shi Polu with some disappointment in his eyes. He knew human nature too well, especially Shi Polu. He had been hiding in the Dragon Clan for many years and had the most contact with Shi Polu. When he kept killing the Dragon Clan students, Shi Polu still didn't say anything and even hysterically shouted at the Dragon Palace Tower. He already understood that Shi Polu was not lying.
"Since that's the case, then you've lost your value." With a wave of her hand, Sanmei unleashed a surge of energy towards Shi Polu.
"It is my incompetence, Shi Polu. Although I am the deputy minister of the Dragon Division, I cannot save the Dragon Division." Just as the qi swept towards him, and he closed his eyes to welcome death, a purple figure instantly blocked his way, and a powerful blue light shield instantly neutralized Sanmei's qi.
"Chief Purple Dragon." Shi Polu opened his eyes, looked at the middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared in front of him, and said with a happy expression.
When Long Aotian left the Dragon Division, he told him that after he left, a member of the Dragon Group would come to guard the Dragon Division. And this member of the Dragon Group did come. During this time, Shi Polu spoke with the other party a few times, but it was all a conversation across the distance. He did not see the other party's true face, so he was not sure if the other party was the member of the Dragon Group.
Unexpectedly, the opponent was actually Zilong. Zilong was rumored to be the strongest member of the Dragon Group besides Qinglong. It was said that he was already a quasi-emperor, just one step away from the emperor realm.
What is a Quasi-Emperor? Upon entering the Emperor realm, the minimum combat power threshold is 512 dragons. A Quasi-Emperor is one whose combat power has reached this threshold. Although they haven't condensed the tenth cone, they already possess a partial phantom of the tenth cone, also known as a phantom cone or quasi-cone. Similarly, a Phantom God is also called a demigod or quasi-god, for the same reason.
"Nightmare Clan?" Zi Long frowned as he looked at the three demons in front of him.
He didn't come to the Dragon Clan to guard it. Despite Long Aotian's repeated pleas, he refused. However, thinking that he couldn't break through to the Emperor Realm, he thought the Dragon Palace Tower might be of some help, so he came. But he never expected that the Dragon Clan's last remaining pass to enter the Dragon Palace Tower had been given to Gu Yu, preventing him from entering.
He decided to wait for the next batch of passes issued by the Dragon Palace Tower, but just then he sensed that someone was trying to force their way into the Dragon Palace.
The reason for forcibly entering the Dragon Palace was that Gu Yu, who had obtained the pass, wanted to cripple Jiang Tianchen after leaving the Dragon Palace Tower, so he took the opportunity to drive him away. The person who was driven away was Jiang Kuang.
After shooing Jiang Kuang away, he was bored while waiting for the Dragon Palace Tower pass, so he began to cultivate in seclusion. Unexpectedly, he was pulled out of seclusion early by the red thread and saw this scene right in front of him.
"Quasi-Emperor Realm?" Sanmei looked at Zilong, equally surprised. He knew that there was a King Realm expert in the Dragon Clan. He had originally planned to postpone his plan, since the commotion of his array setup, while undetectable to a General Realm expert, would be noticeable to a King Realm expert. However, it seemed as if the heavens were protecting him, as Zilong went into seclusion, allowing his plan to proceed. Now, seeing Zilong and discovering that he was a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert, he was even more grateful to the heavens, otherwise his plan would never have succeeded.
"You wretched creature, surrender now!" Zi Long's eyes turned cold. A spy from the Demon Clan had actually infiltrated the Dragon Clan and set up such a large formation right under his nose. This was outrageous.
“Hehe…” Sanmei laughed upon hearing Zilong’s words. If the Heavenly Demon Ten Directions Formation had not been set up and the plan was still in progress, he would still be somewhat wary of Zilong. After all, although the other party was not his match, he could stop him for a moment. If the other experts from the Holy Capital arrived, he would have to return defeated. But now that the mission was accomplished, Sanmei was not afraid, even if Zilong was a quasi-emperor or even if Zilong had top-level emperor cultivation.
"You seem to think too highly of yourself. Let me tell you, within this formation, my cultivation is comparable to that of a demigod, and this formation is my domain. In my eyes, you are nothing more than a slightly larger grasshopper that can hop around," Sanmei said disdainfully.
Zi Long frowned, sensing the blood-red star chart in the sky. Although with his cultivation level, the Blood Force could not do anything to him, he was indeed unable to defeat San Mei. Just because he couldn't defeat her, should he, Zi Long, choose to compromise?
This was impossible. Purple energy instantly emanated from Zilong's body, and terrifying power caused countless ripples to appear in the space around him. A long spear appeared in his hand, and he was prepared to fight to the death.
"Tenfold Heaven-Piercing Thrust." The spear in Zilong's hand suddenly released a dazzling purple light. He gripped the spear with both hands and, like lightning, thrust it towards Sanmei.
The energy fluctuations emanating from the spear were terrifying, seemingly capable of piercing the sky. As it approached Sanmei, a light and shadow more than ten meters long appeared on the spear, filled with a horrifying piercing force.
"Hehe..." Sanmei looked at the purple dragon rushing towards her and the spear containing powerful impact, and let out a mocking laugh.
The crimson mist surrounding him transformed into towering demonic flames, churning endlessly. His hands suddenly changed; he now only had three fingers, and in an instant, fingernails over a foot long appeared on them, radiating a sharp, cold light that seemed capable of slicing through anything with a mere flick of the wrist.
"Heavenly Demon Bursting Claw!" Sanmei immediately swung her claw, and a huge energy claw instantly met the light and shadow spear.
Rumble...
The two collided, and the force they released instantly turned buildings within a radius of hundreds of meters into ruins.
The spear of light and shadow and the giant energy claw vanished with a violent explosion. At this moment, Sanmei's claw gripped Zilong's spear. Judging from Zilong's expression, it was clear that despite using all his strength, he could not pierce Sanmei's claw.
"Is that all you've got? Not even enough to tickle me." Sanmei's eyes glowed with a ghostly red light. The next second, his other claw instantly grabbed at Zilong. Zilong frowned, released his spear with one hand, and unleashed a palm strike.
The palm and the claws collided, and a ripple of energy spread out, sending the purple dragon flying backward like a cannonball.
Boom!
The purple dragon crashed into the ground, instantly shattering the ground and creating a huge crater.
"How presumptuous of you." Sanmei gripped Zilong's spear, which in his hands was like a magic wand. He played with it for a few moments, and then suddenly shot it out, aiming directly at the spot where Zilong had fallen.
At this moment, Gu Yu looked at the blood-red star chart in the sky, at Lu Yun, Li Zhiran, and the others in his battle unit who were struggling, and his brows were furrowed.
Although he was not afraid of the red pull, the people in the combat department were not, especially just now. The blood-red pull suddenly intensified. If he hadn't helped Lu Yun, Li Zhiran, and the other people in the combat department resist, they would have been pulled away long ago.
To Gu Yu's surprise, Qian Duoduo, whose cultivation level was relatively low, resisted with ease and even had some strength left over. This puzzled Gu Yu greatly. As for Shi Shuai, he was not afraid of being pulled away because of the Inheritance Seal.
"What should we do?" Gu Yu was very anxious. Even if these people could resist now, how long could they resist? The source energy in their bodies would eventually run out, and once it was gone, they would be easy prey.
"With my current strength, I don't even need to think about this formation. Even a King Realm expert couldn't break it. And if the formation isn't broken, the traction lines won't disappear. This..." Gu Yu paced back and forth, unable to think of a solution. "There is another way, which is to find the person who set up the formation and defeat them. However, the person who can set up such a large formation is very likely Zuo Lengfeng, who is a King Realm expert. Now, with the support of the formation, even if the White Tiger came, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat them. Not to mention my current strength, this method is also impossible."
"Sigh!" Gu Yu sighed. He had a bad feeling, but he didn't expect this ominous thing to happen so quickly.
Little did they know that many people's eyes were focused on Gu Yu at this moment. While others were struggling to resist the pull of the blood energy, Gu Yu was completely unharmed and was still jumping around in it.
The saying goes, "The grapes are sour because they can't reach them." At this moment, those resisting the blood-pulse pull are all at the Spine Realm. They are all geniuses in their own families, who have been pampered since childhood and have access to their family's resources first. This has fostered their naturally superior personality. In their eyes, they should be the ones who are not affected by the blood-pulse pull, which has made many of them jealous of Gu Yu.
She felt a strange, inexplicable jealousy—a jealousy that shouldn't have arisen in this situation, yet she did.
"Formation, formation." Gu Yu kept muttering to himself, like a madman. "Wait!" Suddenly, Gu Yu had a flash of inspiration.
Yes, he can't break the formation, nor can he defeat the person who set it up, but he can set up a formation! Set up a protective formation that can resist the blood-pulling force, so that everyone won't have to struggle to resist the blood-pulling force.
Although this method still cannot escape the Heavenly Demon Ten Directions Formation, it can protect some people within the formation. As for what happens next, we'll deal with that later! We'll take it one step at a time, since there are no other methods.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu suddenly took out a large pile of source stones and began to tinker with them.
He wandered from place to place, throwing down piece after piece of Originium under the incomprehensible gazes of the crowd.
After several tens of minutes, Gu Yu walked up to Qian Duoduo and released his divine and demonic power, causing the bloodstains above Qian Duoduo's head to immediately retract.
"Big brother, what are you doing?" Qian Duoduo asked directly after being freed from his predicament. In his eyes, Gu Yu's behavior was like that of a lunatic.
"Do you still have any Origin Stones?" Gu Yu asked.
A protective array capable of resisting the pull of blood energy requires a massive amount of energy, and Gu Yu didn't have enough source stones. However, with Qian Duoduo, Gu Yu was certain that Qian Duoduo possessed a large quantity of source stones. "Low-grade source stones won't do; at the very least, we need mid-grade source stones," Gu Yu added.
"Big brother, what are we going to do with the Originium?" Qian Duoduo asked, frowning.
"Set up the formation. Once the formation is complete, you won't need to resist the blood energy pull anymore," Gu Yu said.
"Big brother, you can even set up formations?" Qian Duoduo was startled when she heard Gu Yu's words.
"No time for nonsense, Duoduo, we need source stones." Gu Yu was too lazy to explain. Was he supposed to tell Qian Duoduo that he had memories of his past life and that he had obtained a book on formations in his previous life? Would Qian Duoduo believe him?
"Yes, I have some." Qian Duoduo didn't hesitate. Although it hurt a little, this was a critical moment. If it could save his life, what did it matter if he wasted a few source stones?
The next second, he took out a large pile of intermediate-grade source stones, along with a dozen or so high-grade source stones.
Upon seeing the Origin Stone, Gu Yu's mind stirred, and he immediately placed the Origin Stone into his Origin Space. He then released it to roam freely, and as he left, the red tethering line above Qian Duoduo's head descended once more.
After swimming for about half an hour, Gu Yu's forehead was already covered in sweat. Setting up an array is not as simple as it looks. It requires precise calculations. If even one source stone is placed in the wrong position, all the previous efforts will be wasted. There is no room for the slightest mistake.
Gu Yu suddenly floated into the air, and more than a dozen high-grade source stones appeared around him.
The foundation of the formation has been laid out; now the formation's core needs to be activated, and these dozen or so high-grade source stones are the core of the formation.
With a wave of his hand, Gu Yu caused the floating high-grade source stones to fall to the ground in an orderly fashion. Each stone was in a special position. Of course, this was only in the eyes of those who knew about it. Those who didn't would think that Gu Yu was just showing off.
As more than a dozen high-grade Originium stones landed, a dazzling white light appeared instantly, and white threads immediately began to connect with each other, with the Originium stones as the points of contact.
The next second, a white Bagua star chart appeared under Gu Yu's feet. Gu Yu quickly made hand seals, and 100,000 strands of Origin Qi instantly appeared around him, striking down towards the Bagua star chart under his feet.
"Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Formation".
Buzz... Boom... Buzz...
The Bagua star chart started operating instantly, and a layer of pure white energy shield spread out, covering the surrounding hundred meters in an instant. When the red thread touched the white energy shield, it immediately produced the sound of raindrops falling on glass.
The Dragon Division students, now covered by the white energy shield, immediately collapsed to the ground, relieved to finally be free from the blood-based pull.
"Big brother, you're amazing." Qian Duoduo stepped forward and sincerely praised Gu Yu. Ri Jiu also looked at Gu Yu with amazement.
Although there are cultivators among humans who can set up formations, they can only set up very simple formations. Of course, there are some formation masters who can set up the formation that Gu Yu has set up, but they are very few and far between, and they are definitely not as relaxed as Gu Yu. They even need the help of others to complete it.
"There are too many people, and the source stones are limited, so we can only cover these few." Gu Yu murmured, looking at the other members of the battle unit outside the Six Directions Demon-Suppressing Array.
There were hundreds of people inside the formation, all looking out in terror. Most of them, especially those who had been drawn in by the blood energy, were still very frightened.
However, everyone else who saw this scene was incredulous. The next second, they looked at the formation with envious eyes.
"My name is Sima Wentian. May I ask if Brother Gu Yu would allow me to enter the protective array?" Sima Wentian asked Gu Yu. Although he could resist the blood-energy pull, who knew how long it would last? Even with his strength, he couldn't withstand an endless drain. Besides, Sima Wentian and Gu Yu had no grudges against each other.
