"Wouldn't you know if you tried it?"
Shen Wuyou looked as if he didn't want to argue with him. He glanced at a magic circle next to him, then stepped over, squatted down, and swept the dust off the ground with his hands, signaling:
"Look, this is the formation you used to gain Lan Chen's vitality, and the one under your feet is the formation that can strip away other people's vitality. Activate it and you'll know whether what I said is true or not."
This forbidden technique requires both formations to be activated simultaneously to be effective, making it difficult to interrupt. However, when only one formation is activated, vitality cannot be truly drained, only a slight sensation can be felt.
Lan Ji was not afraid that she would cheat, so he stepped into the center of the formation. The palm wind, carrying surging demonic energy, immediately activated the long-sealed formation.
"Huh? It really started!" Carrot Head exclaimed in his sea of consciousness.
Questions followed: "But that shouldn't be the case... Although I don't understand formations, I've heard of them before. If this formation is so easy to activate, how could it have been sealed for so long?"
[Shh~ Don't be impatient, you'll know soon.] Shen Wuyou smiled mysteriously.
Almost at the moment the formation was activated, eight chains filled with thick black air suddenly emerged from the ground at the same time. One end was linked to a strange black rune, and the other end firmly locked Lan Ji's neck, limbs and waist.
The eight chains correspond to eight directions, linked together, trapping Lan Ji tightly within the formation.
Immediately afterwards, strange runes gradually appeared on the surface of the chain. Under the astonished gaze of everyone, the runes gradually moved from above the chain to Lan Ji's body.
A thick black gas filled the air. At first, it was swaying randomly without any rules. Later, it seemed to be pulled by some force, spreading downwards along the chain and swimming towards eight directions.
As the black gas gradually moved away, Lan Ji gradually felt the discomfort in his body. It was not obvious at first, but as time went on, he increasingly realized that his vitality was being slowly stripped away.
It seemed as if an invisible force was tearing at his soul and dantian, and he could clearly feel his demonic power rapidly dissipating.
"Stop... stop now!"
He was now certain of her words and wanted to terminate the formation and force his way out. But he was shocked to find that his magic was no longer effective. Now he couldn't even use the most common move, Snow Blade!
"What's going on?!"
He suddenly looked at Shen Wuyou, his tone full of questioning.
"What have you done to me!"
"This is really unfair to me..."
Shen Wuyou spread his hands innocently and explained:
"This formation is indeed easy to interrupt, but that only requires that there is only one formation active, as you know. As for why it can't be interrupted now, it's naturally because the other formation has also been activated."
She slowly stood up and walked over.
Jing Mo was also pondering this strange formation at the moment and did not notice Shen Wuyu's abnormality.
It was not until he heard these words that he turned around and asked doubtfully:
"Another formation—what are you going to do?!"
His round pupils suddenly shrank, turning into the long, sharp slits unique to animals.
"Can't you see? I'll tie you up."
Shen Wuyou suddenly attacked him without any warning. Tough vines instantly spread over his body and tied up Jing Mo tightly before he could even struggle.
"Shen Wuyou! You lied to me?! Did you lead us here on purpose?!"
Lan Ji also noticed something was wrong, and glared at her with his foxy eyes. The chains on his body rustled as he struggled violently, and the crisp, noisy sound echoed in the airtight chamber for a long time...
Jing Mo's dangerous eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent, as if he wanted to eat her alive:
"What do you want to do now?"
"I'll answer them one by one." Shen Wuyou took a few steps back, away from the two magic circles.
"First, I did deliberately lure you here, but I didn't lie to you.
"Secondly, it's not me who wants to do anything to you, but someone else wants to do something to you. I'm just a tool to lure you two here."
She said this, and at the end, she looked at the empty magic circle on the other side and asked -
"Right, Fox King?"
Fox King?!
As soon as these words were spoken, Lan Ji and Jing Mo's bodies stiffened at the same time.
Almost as soon as Shen Wuyou finished speaking, a triumphant laugh suddenly rang out, making people's eardrums hurt.
They twisted their stiff necks in disbelief to look, only to see a cluster of thick black smoke slowly rising from the originally empty formation!
When the black smoke dissipated, the desolate figure of the Fox King was clearly revealed before everyone—
"Father?!"
"You old fool!"
Lan Ji's exclamation drowned out the words that came out of Jing Mo's teeth. The latter gnashed his teeth viciously as if he had finally seen the murderer of his father, and his gloomy and cold eyes were like a lurking hungry wolf, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"Hahahahaha, good! Well done! This move is really wonderful! Wonderful!" The Fox King stood in the middle of the formation, greedily absorbing the vitality taken from Lan Ji.
Shen Wuyou was very modest in response to his praise: "Fox King, you are too kind. If it weren't for your permission, how could I have found this forbidden place so easily?"
Two hours ago...
In the Fox King's bedroom, just as he was preparing to go to bed, dots of pink on his coat suddenly floated up, emitting a little blush, and then condensed into a ball in the Fox King's astonished gaze.
"Fox King, Yun Zhengchuan, I know what your purpose is. My master admires your methods and has sent me here to help you."
