Inside the main hall, Wen Jiajia and the other person were still busy. As they moved, the array on the ground became more and more obvious and began to emit a faint golden light.
Even without considering the chaotic lines, Yan Qing, a complete novice, could sense the immense magical power emanating from the Seven Star Demon Subduing Formation.
Golden light slowly spread out in circles, and when it touched her body, Yan Qing actually felt a warm current that made her feel incredibly comfortable all over.
"Oh no—we've been marked by the formation!" Yue Qi suddenly shouted. He didn't remember that the Seven Star Demon Subduing Formation would automatically mark people.
So surprised was he that he didn't have time to control his voice, and the people in the hall not far away naturally heard it.
Wen Jiajia stood up straight and shouted sternly, "Who is it! Get out here!"
Now that their whereabouts had been discovered, the two had no choice but to tacitly reveal themselves.
Wen Jiajia probably guessed it was them a long time ago; she crossed her arms, a sarcastic look on her face.
"What, these two incredibly powerful people actually dared to come here to eavesdrop? Yan Qing, have you no shame!"
Here we go again! Yan Qing was both amused and exasperated. This Wen Jiajia seemed to think far too badly of her. So, she naturally offered a defense for herself...
"Um, we were just passing by, nothing more! You guys continue—"
"Passing by my ass! Yan Qing, do you even believe what you're saying?" Wen Jiajia reached out and stopped her without hesitation, catching her completely off guard.
Yan Qing stopped helplessly. "Wen Jiajia, I think you really misunderstood me! We were actually planning to leave. If you hadn't failed to control this formation, would we have been marked by it?"
Wen Jiajia wasn't falling for her tricks. "Stop changing the subject. Tell me honestly, where did you two go before? I've searched the whole temple and can't find you."
“This—” Yan Qing glanced at Yue Qi, gesturing for him to speak.
Yue Qi simply stepped forward and shielded Yan Qing behind him.
“We went to the white flower bushes in the northwest corner of the temple before. There’s a formation there that prevents the blood mist from entering.” Unexpectedly, Yue Qi told the truth, which left Yan Qing somewhat at a loss for words.
Big brother, her original intention was to have Yue Qi make up a reason on the spot, but who knew that this guy would be so honest!
No! As someone who has read the original novel, she knows perfectly well that Yue Qi is not an honest person! Could this be the female lead's halo?
Thinking about this, she felt extremely unwilling.
Unexpectedly, Yue Qi suddenly changed the subject, and Yan Qing heard him continue:
"There was also a Seven Star Demon-Subduing Formation in the white flower bushes, which was what blocked the blood mist outside. We hid for a while, and then we suddenly heard a huge explosion. We were a little worried, so we came out."
"Then, following the broken corpses on the ground, we found this main hall. I never expected that you two were hiding so well! You actually knew all along that the person behind it was the clothing store owner!"
Yue Qi's tone gradually became more intense and piercing; he stared intently at Wen Jiajia.
"Tell me, what are your intentions in deliberately concealing so much information?!"
"This—" Wen Jiajia originally wanted to question the other party, but Yue Qi's retort left her speechless. Indeed, they had deceived everyone from the very beginning.
So she immediately changed her attitude, becoming completely pitiful.
"Yue Qi, we had no choice. After all, we're not that close, are we? And we've shared quite a bit of information, haven't we?"
"What a joke! With the performance of the two of you tonight, going deep into enemy territory, making a crazy explosion, and even finding the escape formation in the end—Wen Jiajia, how can you even say that?"
Yan Qing was ruthless from the start, and Wen Jiajia immediately glared at her, the two looking like they were about to fight.
Just then, the array behind them suddenly started to ring with a "ding".
The next moment, Yan Qing saw the yellow light on the array begin to spread outwards in concentric circles. The instant it touched her body, Yan Qing was instantly pulled to the center of the array.
"Ah—" A scream rang out, but wait? That didn't sound like me.
Turning around, she met Wen Jiajia's terrified eyes. Looking around, she realized that everyone had been neatly gathered together.
Yue Qi was to her side and slightly behind, while Sun Jue, still shaken, stood in front of her.
At this moment, Sun Jue seemed to be the one most affected; he clutched his head tightly, his whole body trembling.
"Jiajia, hurry up and think of something! I don't want to die!"
"Shut up, you idiot!" Wen Jiajia immediately stopped him, though she herself was terrified.
Because at this moment, the system in her mind was prompting her, "The Seven Star Blood Fiend Array is about to be officially activated. Please find a way to complete the array's core as soon as possible, otherwise, it will not be able to help the two of them escape."
What? The Seven Star Blood Fiend Formation? It should be the Seven Star Demon Subduing Formation, when did the formation change?
A woman's intuition told her that this Seven Star Blood Fiend Formation sounded ominous. No, she had to find a way to leave immediately!
Wen Jiajia's mind raced; this was the closest she had ever come to death.
Only then did she realize that the golden light emitted by those formations was just a decoy; the real Seven Star Blood Fiend Formation should be composed of those seemingly chaotic lines on the formation.
