"Who on earth set up the magic circle, using such cruel and brutal means?"
After the corpses all over the city turned into dry bones and dust, the three had to leave the town. After all, even Li Changan felt terrified to stay in a place that had just become a dead city.
"I don't know, but this place is only a few hundred miles away from Qingyun Mountain. It's hard to say whether the people of Qingyun Mountain are inseparable from what happened here." Li Changan said.
"At least they should know what's going on."
Li Mingyue and Qiyue looked stern and uneasily at Li Changan.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm feeling weak too..." Li Changan felt a little annoyed. "I've been in this world for over a hundred years, but I've never seen such cruel and perverted methods. Damn, how come I always encounter everything?"
Li Changan felt something was wrong.
"Let's go and have a look around. Maybe there are similar things happening in other places."
Li Mingyue nodded, pulled Li Changan onto the flying sword, and headed towards Qingyun Mountain.
Qingyun Mountain is adjacent to Canglan Iron Wall and is remote in itself. This dead city was previously located in the vast Gobi Desert. It was impossible for cultivators to pass by it normally. Even if they did, they would fly high on their swords and it would be impossible for them to go into the city to take a look like himself.
It was for this reason that the souls of the city's citizens were devoured by the magic circle without anyone noticing.
There are many such remote small towns that belong to ordinary people near Qingyun Mountain.
Sure enough, just after walking a few dozen miles, they found the second town covered by a double magic circle. The people in the town had dull and lifeless faces, like zombie puppets. Those with the mildest symptoms also looked confused and dazed.
"Now it seems that even this remote town has set up a magic array. When the time is right, we can make blood pills and soul pills."
Li Changan stepped on the flying sword and was circled in the air by Li Mingyue.
The power of the stars gathered in his eyes. Li Changan could clearly see the dark red threads coming out from the ground and wriggling slightly. The place where the threads gathered was the stone building in the center of the city.
The soul is slowly stripped away, the human's intelligence gradually disappears, and he becomes a lamb to be slaughtered. When the time is right, all his essence, blood and energy will be drained away.
"Is there any way to break this magic circle?" Li Mingyue asked.
Li Changan shook his head. "I can't do it. If my Sixth Junior Sister were here, maybe she could do it."
Li Changan slowly frowned, and gathered his consciousness into the spiritual sea. He gently touched the shadow of Chang'e's life star. After a while, Chang'e's voice came.
Li Changan used his spiritual sense to convey what happened here to Chang'e. Chang'e paused for a moment, and then spoke in a slightly solemn voice.
"This is a stacked array, which is a magic array formed by superimposing two or more magic arrays. It usually has special functions." Chang'e said.
Li Changan's heart moved.
"Although the stacked formation isn't particularly complex, it's not easy to destroy. If you don't do it right, breaking the first layer could easily cause a drastic change in the second layer, just like what happened before."
Li Changan gritted his teeth. He didn't want to see the scene of people in the city suddenly exploding and losing their blood and essence for the second time.
"What should I do?"
Li Changan transmitted the message through his telepathic consciousness.
"It requires two people to operate at the same time. I will teach you a few seals. You will temporarily stabilize one of the array bases, and then destroy the other array base within half an incense stick." Chang'e's voice came.
"According to what you said, it should be the stone building and the dagger underground."
"good!"
Li Changan opened his eyes and looked at the two women, "Mingyue, Qiyue, what are you going to do..."
Li Changan controlled the star power in his body and lifted himself up into the air, floating in mid-air overlooking the town below. Strands of scarlet silk threads stretched out from the ground, swaying in the wind.
"July, take action."
July's eyes straightened, and he quickly formed a seal with his hands and pressed hard on the stone building. The stone building began to vibrate violently as if stimulated. Li Changan nodded to Li Mingyue.
Li Mingyue pointed with her slender fingers, and the moon-white sword under her feet soared into the sky, then turned the sword body and plunged fiercely into the ground.
About ten breaths later, a vibration came from underground.
In Li Changan's sight, the thin red line extending from the ground broke at the root and turned into flying catkins and dissipated in the sky.
Li Mingyue nodded to Li Changan, and just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a horrific explosion. Qiyue, who had been suppressing the base of the formation, was blown away by the air wave of the explosion and was caught by Li Mingyue.
The stone building was blown to pieces.
The townspeople, who were originally in a daze and like puppets, fell down one after another and fainted.
"Although the formation has been broken, the souls that were extracted cannot be taken back. Even if these townspeople can wake up, their intelligence will be damaged and they will never be the same as before." Li Changan felt a little heavy.
Lin Mingyue saw that this usually frivolous man had a rare heavy and depressed look on his face, and her heartstrings were slightly touched.
"It's not your fault!"
"I know." Li Changan nodded. "Let's go and check somewhere else. If the situation is still the same as here, then we'll take action and break this damn magic circle."
"Um!"
The three of them looked at each other, took off into the air, and flew towards Qingyun Mountain. However, when they were less than ten miles away from the town, a terrifying claw shadow suddenly appeared and swept down from mid-air. Qiyue's face changed slightly. Just as he was about to draw his sword to resist, he saw a moon-white sword arc flying up and colliding with the claw shadow that was coming.
Li Changan looked at the black-robed figure suspended in the air dozens of feet away, and his expression gradually became gloomy.
