With Lin Jiu's attack, the golden-armored corpse vanished without a trace with a casual strike.
At this moment, Lin Jiu was truly indescribably elegant and graceful, with unparalleled charm.
With the death of the golden-armored corpse, Shi Shan and the others all thanked Lin Jiu for saving them from danger.
"It was just something I did on the spur of the moment, no problem!" Lin Jiu deliberately changed his tone of voice.
After saying that,
Shishan replied, "It was just a small favor for you, senior, but it was a real life-saving grace for us. We will remember it forever. If you ever need anything from us in the future, please feel free to ask!"
In response,
Lin Jiu casually chuckled a couple of times, skipping the topic and not pressing it further.
Just as Lin Jiu was about to leave, Shi Shan's voice rang out, "Senior, if you don't mind, we would like to travel with you. Firstly, we can learn something from you, and secondly, if you need anything, you can give us your instructions."
More importantly, Shi Shan didn't mention that there should only be low-level zombies in this town. Even if there were some high-level ones, they shouldn't be at the level of a golden-armored zombie. Clearly, the information was wrong. And there was probably more than one golden-armored zombie in this place. Since they chose to come here for the trial, it would be too shameful for them to leave in such a dejected manner.
Although it wasn't exactly shameful because of the golden-armored corpse, it would have been a great honor to go through a trip with the golden-armored corpse in the background.
Although some of the followers were powerful figures, they were not from the sect, so this was still a testament to his own abilities.
Upon hearing this,
Lin Jiu symbolically declined, saying, "The place I'm going to is extremely dangerous. It's better if you don't go. This town is quite special; you should leave quickly!"
After saying that,
Shishan chimed in, "With you here, senior, there shouldn't be any problems. Let's go with you and broaden our horizons. We can take care of those low-level zombies for you and save you some trouble."
“If you insist on doing so, then let’s make the trip!” Lin Jiu said slowly.
"Thank you, senior!" Shi Shan and the others replied.
Not long after,
Shi Shan and the others followed Lin Jiu to the westernmost part of the town, to a house nestled against the mountain.
Standing in front of the house, Shi Shan frowned slightly. "This house... is a bit strange. It seems to be protected by a formation, a Taoist formation, like... the Loyalty Formation!"
Upon hearing this,
Several of Shi Shan's junior brothers said, "Senior brother, really? Look at this house, it's filled with evil energy. Even if there's a formation, it shouldn't be the Loyalty Formation!"
"That's right! If it's the Loyalty Formation, wouldn't it protect any zombies that might be found in this house?"
"..."
Shi Shan was somewhat bewildered. He was absolutely certain that what was set up outside the house was the Loyalty Formation. But just as his junior brothers had said, there was a high possibility of zombies inside the house, so using the Loyalty Formation was really inappropriate. "Senior, is what's set up outside the house the Loyalty Formation?"
Lin Jiu nodded slightly at Shi Shan's question and replied, "That's right, it is indeed the Loyalty Formation."
Having received a definite answer, Shi Shan and the others were somewhat bewildered. What was going on?!
This... shouldn't be happening!
at the same time,
Lu Chuan, who had been paying some attention to the situation, was somewhat surprised. In his previous life, he had been fascinated by Taoist magic because of novels, and he naturally knew about the Loyalty Formation.
At the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, after the last emperor, Sima Dewen, was usurped by the powerful Liu Yu, he was enfeoffed as the Prince of Lingling. On the surface, he seemed to be treated well, but as soon as he gave birth to a son, Liu Yu would kill him. He and his wife lived in constant fear and anxiety.
He cooked his own meals by his bedside and worried every night that someone would assassinate him. At that time, there was a famous Taoist priest in Jiangdong named Guangyangzi, who claimed to possess supernatural powers.
His confidant Chen Ke found the Taoist temple presided over by Guangyangzi, but Guangyangzi refused to appear. Chen Ke then knelt outside the temple for three days and three nights until he fainted from hunger outside the temple gate.
Later, Guangyangzi seemed to be truly moved by Chen Ke's loyalty. He drew a diagram and had an old Taoist priest sweeping the courtyard give it to Chen Ke. He also gave Chen Ke eight small stone pillars engraved with incantations and instructed him to bury the stone pillars in the bedroom according to the locations shown on the diagram, so that the people inside would be protected by the true gods.
After returning to the Lingling Prince's Mansion, he and Sima Dewen secretly buried stone pillars. Later, Liu Yu indeed sent someone to assassinate Sima Dewen, but the unlucky assassin collapsed to the ground and convulsed as soon as he entered the house. When he woke up, he went mad.
When the formation takes effect, the person casting the spell is actually already dead. The caster must use their own soul to defend the things within the formation, hence the name "Loyalty Formation".
However, the Loyalty Array in this world is clearly different. The array's power is even greater than others. When the array takes effect, the person who casts it will not die, but will only suffer a great loss of vital energy.
At this time,
Lin Jiu slowly walked towards the house. Upon seeing this, Shi Shan reminded him, "Senior, this formation is extraordinary. You should be careful."
Upon hearing this,
Lin Jiu did not reply to him. The moment he stepped into the formation, the formation was activated, and the formation plate under Lin Jiu's feet appeared, instantly encompassing the Loyalty Formation. As the formation plate spun, the foundation of the Loyalty Formation was disrupted, and in an instant, the Loyalty Formation was broken.
Seeing this scene, Shi Shan and the others were all stunned.
this……!
Was the Loyalty Formation broken so easily?
Holy crap!
How is that possible?
"Senior brother, what kind of technique is this, senior?" asked a junior brother beside Shi Shan.
The others also looked eager for an answer.
Ishiyama:? ? ?
You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?
Such methods are unprecedented, and there are no records of them in Taoist circles.
But then blue light flashed beneath their feet, as if a mysterious array was appearing. The next moment, the Loyalty Array was broken. This...!
