Chapter 132: The Dark Realm Breaks the Illusion, the Dry Well Hides the Danger
"puff--"
Forcibly tearing open the formation caused Chu Xuanyi to suffer another severe blow. He spat out another mouthful of blood, his body swayed, and he fell to one knee. However, he still used one hand to firmly support the compass, maintaining the operation of the light shield.
He has placed all his hopes on Ajiu and the others.
"kill!"
At this moment, shouts and cries like a landslide and tsunami were heard from outside the square.
Xiao Yu is back!
He brought the first batch of reinforcements from all the major sects in the capital, and like a sharp knife, he stabbed in from the outside!
"Disciples of Ouye Villa! Form the Ten Thousand Swords Formation! Draw in the golden energy to aid the Imperial Master!"
"Qian family members! Set up the Three Yang Exorcist Formation! Purify the surrounding area and save the people!"
"All sect masters! Follow my Xuanjia Guards and clear out the surroundings to prevent the demons from taking advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack!"
Xiao Yu's roar resounded through the sky.
For a moment, sword energy rushed into the sky, talisman light shone, and the warriors' internal energy connected into one, forming a solid line of defense.
The disciples of Ouye Villa sat cross-legged, muttering to themselves, as precious swords floated in front of them, attracting the mysterious Gengjin energy, transforming it into visible golden streams that merged into the light shield on the platform, stabilizing the originally shaky light shield.
The children of the Qian family kept throwing out talismans and pills, and golden flames and soft white light lit up everywhere, dispersing the black air outside. The people who were infected by the evil spirit and suffered great pain also received timely treatment.
The entire Xuanwu Square, from the initial panic, instantly turned into a battlefield with clear division of labor and order!
Chu Xuanyi felt the external support, and the pressure suddenly eased, finally giving him a break. He looked up at the figures who had come voluntarily and fought bloody battles, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
And at this moment, in the dark illusion deep underground.
The moment Ajiu, Qinghe and Qingyun jumped into the crack, they were completely enveloped by the thick darkness.
There is no up or down, left or right here, only a chill that penetrates the bone marrow, and the whispers of countless wronged souls that keep echoing in the ears.
"Junior Sister, hold your composure! This is an illusion created by the Netherworld!" Qing He's voice echoed through the darkness, a hint of solemnity in its voice. The longsword in his hand emitted a circle of soft green light, barely illuminating the area three feet around the three of them.
Qingyun held a talisman in her hand, its light flickering as it repelled the invisible whispers that were trying to approach. Her face was pale, and beads of sweat formed on her forehead.
"Brother, this place... is so weird. I feel my spiritual energy is constantly draining away, and my mind is starting to become hazy."
With Qinghe holding her hand tightly, Jiu didn't feel any spiritual energy draining away, as she didn't have much. But she felt uncomfortable. The air around her was cold and sticky, like she was soaking in a vat of expired, smelly water, and her little nose twitched constantly.
Moreover, she saw a lot of strange things.
In the eyes of Qinghe and Qingyun, the surroundings were pure darkness. But in the eyes of Jiu, the illusion-piercing eyes, this space was full of strange lights and distorted scenes.
She saw the ground beneath her feet crack open, and countless pale arms stretched out, trying to grab their ankles. She saw painful faces floating in the air, wailing silently. She even saw someone who looked exactly like Xiong Xiong's brother, standing not far away and waving gently at her.
"Ajiu, come here, come to your brother."
Ah Jiu blinked, wrinkled his nose at that "Brother Xiong Xiong", and muttered softly: "You are not Brother Xiong Xiong! Brother Xiong Xiong would never laugh like that, he looks really ugly when he laughs!"
"Miss Jiu, what did you see?" Qinghe keenly noticed that something was wrong with Jiu.
Ah Jiu stretched out his other little hand and pointed in a certain direction: "Over there! There's a huge black spider web! In the middle of the web is the heart of that big bad guy under Xuanwu Square! It's beating very fast, and many black threads are extending from it, connecting to many places!"
Qinghe and Qingyun were shocked and looked at each other.
This is the true face of the Nether Source Reversal Formation! The Nether Heart is the core, and those black lines are the energy channels connecting the various formation centers!
"Where is the center of the formation? Where is the worst guy you mentioned hiding?" Qinghe asked anxiously.
"Let me see..." Ah Jiu strained to open her eyes wide, a golden light swirling deep within her pupils. Her face grew paler from overexerting her pupils, but she persisted. "I see it! Over there! A little below the center of the spider web, there's a thick, black thread, connected to a dark hole! Hidden in that hole is a nasty villain! It's this thread that's been supplying power to that big heart!"
Found it! The main array's center!
"Good! Miss Jiu, you did a great job!" Qing He cheered up. "Keep pointing the way, and we'll go destroy it now!"
"Yeah!" Ajiu nodded heavily.
The three of them immediately changed direction and, under Ajiu's guidance, rushed towards the "dark hole".
This illusory world seemed endless, with countless illusions swirling along the way. Sometimes it was a sea of fire and swords, sometimes a gentle burial ground. Qinghe and Qingyun must constantly maintain a clear mind to avoid being deceived by the illusions. And these illusions, which seemed so sinister to them, were but a thin layer of window paper painted with ghostly faces in Ah Jiu's eyes.
"Left! There's a black line glowing on the left. It's going to hit us!"
"Oh, that beautiful sister in front is fake, her tongue is black!"
"Run, run! The hole under your feet was dug by the bad guys!"
Under the guidance of Ajiu, the "human-shaped delusion-breaking radar", the three of them avoided one trap after another without any danger.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, they arrived at a place where the black air was the thickest.
In Ah Jiu's "horizon," the thickest black line ended there. In the eyes of Qing He and Qing Yun, ahead lay a dry well emitting endless coldness and foreboding.
The mouth of the dry well was tightly sealed by black rune chains. Those runes seemed to be alive, slowly wriggling and emitting heart-pounding evil fluctuations.
"It's right here!" Qing He stared at the dry well, his eyes becoming incomparably sharp. "The Netherworld Qi is leaking out from here, connecting to the earth veins! Miss Jiu, you and Junior Sister, step back. I'll break it open!"
After saying this, the long sword in Qinghe's hand emitted a bright green light.
"Galaxy Sword Technique, Breaking the Army!"
He swung his sword fiercely, and the green sword light was like a meteor, fiercely slashing on the black rune chain!
“Clang!”
A sharp sound of metal clashing was heard, and the green sword light and the black rune collided violently, causing large energy ripples.
However, the rune chain only shook a little, and the black light on it dimmed a little, but it did not break.
"What a strong restriction!" Qinghe's face darkened.
