The scene was quiet, and Ding Shuang and others' eyes were on Jian Yi.
Jane Yi had her back to the crowd, so it was impossible to see her face clearly. Seeing that she was fine for the time being, everyone felt a little relieved.
Lai Yuesheng glanced at everyone's faces, sat leisurely on the chair, and sipped the tea that Bai Ying poured for him.
Ding Shuang felt depressed.
"You see, she's really fine," Lai Yuesheng said after about half an hour. "You've only lost half your strength, so it won't have much impact on you."
No one responded. They looked like they were determined to wait for Jian Yi to come back before they would stop. Lai Yuesheng was too lazy to say anything.
Regardless of whether these people were willing or not, they would eventually have to contribute all their strength. If they were all as sensible as that woman, he could save himself a lot of trouble. If they were unwilling, he wouldn't mind the trouble.
As for the half strength he mentioned, it was just talk. Once the strength was connected to the formation in the Bagua diagram, it would be impossible to escape unless the strength in the body was exhausted.
If this era was not so peaceful and the human world did not have all kinds of rules, he would not want to let these people go back.
Of course, this is not the only reason. There is another main reason.
He commanded these evil spirits and made them work for him wholeheartedly, using the excuse that this formation was a formation to open the ghost gate.
These ghosts were all human beings in their previous lives. If he kills the people he tricks in at will, the ghosts will no longer trust him and work for him.
Signing a contract with them wasn't just about having someone to serve him; to put it bluntly, these Yin spirits were also a source of power. As long as he could continuously attract these Yin spirits willingly to his side, he could store more power for him, preparing for his future transcendence beyond the Three Realms.
Therefore, these evil spirits are nothing more than his supplements.
Simply being a ghost king with countless restrictions was not what Lai Yuesheng wanted. If he could escape the Three Realms, he would no longer be bound by the rules of the human world. No one could do anything to him, and he could act freely and at will.
The people present were unaware of Lai Yuesheng's intentions and held back, their hesitation stemming from their suspicions and a lack of faith in his kindness. Furthermore, given the implications for themselves, not everyone was a selfless individual, ready to immediately contribute upon hearing that the Ghost Gate could be opened.
To put it bluntly, true saints are very rare, and we are all ordinary people.
An hour passed.
Jian Yi was still sitting in the position of the Bagua diagram. Lai Yuesheng was a little surprised. It had been so long?
Just how powerful was she? From behind, she looked completely unfazed. I hadn't expected her cultivation to be so high. She truly was the one with the best vision among these people.
"Friend Ding, is Friend Jian okay?" the question came from an elderly man with a child, his face etched with worry. "It's been an hour. How much energy could she have injected into the formation?"
Ding Shuang was also unsure. She was not familiar with Jian Yi, but judging from her previous performance, her cultivation should be quite high.
After hesitating for a moment, Ding Shuang decided to go over and take a look: "I'll go take a look."
"Fellow Daoist Ding, be careful. If anything goes wrong, retreat immediately." The old man warned.
Ding Shuang nodded slightly and walked over slowly, taking every step carefully. She was really afraid that this Ghost King was cunning and would set some trap in the Bagua map.
Everyone else's heart was lifted. When Ding Shuang walked to the location of the Bagua diagram and stood next to Jian Yi, she suddenly discovered that Jian Yi was absorbing the power in the Bagua diagram and was stunned for a moment.
The young couple also sat side by side, their chins supported by their hands, looking at Jane seriously with a relaxed look.
It has been more than an hour, and even if the young couple are not spiritual practitioners, they should have discovered something.
The expert had no problems, which meant he was doing his job. He also deliberately turned his back to the Ghost King, which showed that he was doing something important. What could they do? Of course, they pretended to know nothing and waited for the expert to finish his work.
If they knew how to do it, they might even help.
Ding Shuang paused and sat down, still with her back to Lai Yuesheng. She did not ask why, nor did she ask why Jian Yi could withstand so much power.
Rather than the illusory ghost gate, she hoped to deal a heavy blow to the ghost king and then take Baiying away smoothly.
So, Jane Yi was facing away from Lai Yuesheng. Now, the young couple was sitting on her left, and Ding Shuang was sitting on her right. Ding Shuang even pretended to put her hand on the Bagua map, and she could feel the suction.
She didn't need to inject any strength into it, as she could still resist this suction.
Feeling that Jian Yi was still absorbing the power inside, Ding Shuang thought that she should be able to take Bai Ying away today.
Fortunately, she came today.
From Lai Yuesheng's perspective, Ding Shuang seemed to be injecting power into it.
Lai Yuesheng looked pleased with himself, not even glancing over there. He had meticulously arranged the formation, and once a trace of power was poured into it, there was no way to disconnect it; he could only continue to pour it in.
I didn't expect it to be so easy this time. It saved me a lot of trouble.
He had long known that bringing some ordinary people here would attract the attention of these cultivators. In fact, his original purpose was to attract this group of cultivators.
This will avoid a lot of trouble, as there won’t be too many practitioners being pulled in each time.
He has the final say on how much to pull up.
For example, tonight, he had already told the driver how many people to pick up, in case there were too many people practicing and the driver couldn't handle it.
"Fellow Daoist Ding has no intention of coming back." The old man's face was not looking good. "Is it true that today I can only leave after infusing myself with strength?"
The old woman's expression was not very good either: "Let's wait and see. If it really doesn't work, this is the only way to get out."
Before they came, they didn't know that this was a Ghost King, and that the Ghost King commanded so many evil spirits. They were no match for the Ghost King alone.
Another half hour passed before the other two women and one man finally walked over. They had to admit that they had no chance of winning against the Ghost King.
Just now, they had made some records. If they could get out alive, maybe they could bring some information outside so that people outside could find a way to deal with this ghost king.
At first, they had somewhat believed the Ghost King's words, but now that they thought about it carefully, would he really go to such great lengths to open the Ghost Gate when his actions were so shady? It was simply impossible.
The fellow Taoists who had come in before were later found, and their cultivation had more or less regressed. This matter is not that simple.
But when they walked to Jane Yi's side, they had the same idea as Ding Shuang.
Why is she absorbing the power of the Bagua diagram?
This is a bit outrageous.
They had been worried for a long time and had thought of countless ways to escape, but they didn't expect that this fellow Taoist had been quietly doing something big.
Ding Shuang gave a look to the others. They were all smart people and immediately sat down in a row around Jian Yi, pretending to put their hands on the Bagua diagram.
This space was already very dark, and Lai Yuesheng barely looked in this direction. Furthermore, with the power he poured into it, it was impossible for anything to happen. Lai Yuesheng, who was incredibly confident, would never have thought that someone could do this!
Everyone went over, and the old man and the old woman finally chose to compromise.
The two of them together could not be a match for the Ghost King. They also left some records, but they didn't know if they could take them out. They could only try.
However, when they walked to Jane's side and saw the appearance of the crowd, they joined in after a brief pause.
There are few fools among those who can practice cultivation.
Facing the two women and one man of the Ghost King, he even made his face look a little paler, which really looked like the sequelae of the gradual loss of power.
The young couple couldn't help but communicate via typing again.
Girl: Tall people are really awesome, their acting is so realistic. If they get into the entertainment industry, they will have no shortage of fantasy movies, zombie movies, and ghost movies to watch, and they won’t have to work hard on special effects.
Boy: What you said makes me a little moved. Do you think that if I ask these experts to make a film, will they agree?
Girl: Who gave you the courage to think like this?
Boy: As a future young director, I still have dreams, and there’s nothing wrong with thinking about it.
Girl: If you can really invite them to shoot a blockbuster movie, you will be my idol for life. I will delete all the handsome guys and celebrities I follow on my phone and will only be your fan in this life.
Boy: It sounds impossible, but I will try my best. What if it comes true?
The boy's heart was actually very hot, and he accidentally met so many experts. He wondered if these experts would be willing to participate in the performance and what the conditions were. He really wanted to do it.
As a future young director, it would be awesome if I could shoot a blockbuster about masters cultivating immortals and catching ghosts and monsters without using special effects!
You will never have any regrets in your life.
Girl: Okay, put away your weird dreamy expression. Can you imagine a master? Wake up!
Boy: Hey!
Another three hours passed, and Lai Yuesheng was shocked to find that except for Jian Yi and Ding Shuang, everyone else was very weak. How much strength did she have?
The young couple fell to one side, leaning against each other with their eyes closed, looking like they were unconscious.
In fact, they were just sleepy and decided to go to sleep first.
They usually don't stay up late, and usually go to bed around 11 or 12 o'clock. Today they stayed up a little longer, and it was really hard to bear. It was clean here, and the temperature was just right.
Ding Shuang and the others were stunned when they saw the couple sleeping soundly. What kind of gods were these? How could they still sleep at this hour?
However, the young couple's behavior not only brought them shock, but also provided them with reference.
The two women and one man opposite found it a bit difficult to maintain this posture. After looking at each other, they tacitly made their faces pale, fell to the side, and assumed a slightly more comfortable position, and fell asleep like a young couple.
Ding Shuang: “…”
The old man and the old woman rubbed their sore arms and eventually fell asleep like them.
The little child who followed the old man leaned against his legs and closed his eyes.
Jane almost jumped up and laughed out loud. These people were so funny. Did they think the Ghost King was an idiot? But it was no wonder that the Ghost King didn't notice this. Who would have thought she could do this?
Jane had long since discovered that the child following the old man wasn't actually human, but rather a spirit. Seeing how dependent he was on the old man, he was likely related.
Jian Yi didn't look again, but observed Ding Shuang next to her, her eyes seemed to ask, aren't you pretending to be unconscious?
Ding Shuang gave Jian Yi a look that indicated she didn't need it for the time being, and with a puzzled look on her face, she asked him how long it would take.
Jane nodded slightly, indicating that it would be soon.
