From victory to defeat
As the barrier shattered, the full picture of the Soul-Devouring Hall appeared before the monks.
The members of the Soul-Devouring Hall had already prepared themselves inside the barrier, and the moment the barrier was broken, they were ready to meet the enemy.
The monks of the righteous path looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to take the first step.
After all, most of them have experienced the power of Shucheng's formation. If they were to fall into it, at best they would faint and be ridiculed, or at worst they would lose their lives.
Everyone looked towards the Beast Taming Sect's leader, hoping that he could dismantle the formation in one move so that they could charge forward.
Both sides seemed to be still.
The hall master, watching the strange behavior of the righteous monks from his high seat, felt even more puzzled: "Why are these people staring at this old man?"
The Right Guardian immediately came out to explain, "Master, according to our informants, this old man has found a way to break the formation we set up in Shucheng last time."
"Hmph," the hall master sneered, "Do they really think the Soul Devouring Hall only has that one formation? How can a formation that can only absorb spiritual power in dreams be compared to my Soul Devouring Formation?"
The Right Guardian sincerely complimented him, "Of course it is. How can a mere ordinary formation compare to your Soul Devouring Formation, Hall Master?"
Xiao Ze was a little anxious listening to this. Could it be that the Beast Taming Sect's leader really didn't have the method to break the Soul Devouring Formation in his hands?
If not, that's bad.
On the righteous side, an elder from the Beast Taming Sect saw that their leader still looked sleepy and became extremely anxious. He finally couldn't help but shout out a warning: "Master, break the formation."
The leader of the Beast Taming Sect finally realized that he was the only one who knew the solution.
However, he was too excited after getting this method. He drank for three consecutive days and got drunk. Not long after he sobered up, he summoned monks to attack the Soul-Devouring Hall.
In other words, he didn't even remember how he cracked it.
However, the leader of the Beast Taming Sect took out a brand new piece of paper from his pocket, and it looked like it had not been flipped through many times.
He began to dismantle the formation on the spot, in front of all the righteous monks, the Soul Devouring Hall members, and the hall master in the dark.
However, alcohol and sex had already drained his body, his eyes were dim due to old age, and he had not studied formations for many years, so he couldn't even understand the blueprint for a while.
Su Qingjun watched anxiously from the side. Xiao Ze was still in the Soul-Devouring Hall. The sooner they attacked, the less danger Xiao Ze would be in and the safer he would be.
Su Qingjun sent a message to the leader of Tianxuan Sect, asking him to help the leader of Yushou Sect.
But just as the Tianxuan Sect leader walked over and hadn't spoken yet, the Beast Taming Sect leader folded the blueprint in half like a treasure and asked, "You want to take a peek?"
The head of Tianxuan Sect said, "I will help you, and the formation can be solved faster."
The Beastmaster Sect's leader seemed still drunk and waved his hands around like he was shooing away a fly: "No, no, no."
The leader of the Tianxuan Sect had no choice but to return to his position, and his dissatisfaction with the Beast Taming Sect gradually increased.
The same is true for other sects.
The leader of the Soul-Devouring Hall moved the water mirror slightly, and the blueprint in the hands of the Beastmaster Sect's leader appeared intact in front of Xiao Ze and the other two.
Xiao Ze understood the contents of the blueprint at a glance, but the people from the Beast Taming Sect were still completely confused.
Su Qingjun suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the water mirror, as if he had discovered someone peeping at him. He swung his sword and the hidden water mirror shattered directly.
The scene in front of Xiao Ze also disappeared.
A solemn look appeared on the hall master's face. Since the plan began to be implemented, Xiao Ze had never seen him attach so much importance to righteousness.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" The right protector also noticed it and asked.
The hall master spoke in a dangerous tone: "What this old man is holding in his hand is the method to break the soul-devouring formation. Who on earth can actually break my formation?" His tone was so cold that it made Re shudder.
The Right Protector told what he knew: "It was a cultivator named Jiang Li."
"Jiang Xi." The hall master narrowed his eyes and racked his brains, only to find that he really didn't know this cultivator.
Xiao Ze sighed beside him, saying that he was indeed the protagonist. He said how could the protagonist be useless in his own book.
Jiang Xi was quite capable this time, but his vision was not very good. Why did he give the solution to the leader of the Beast Taming Sect, whose half body was covered in earth?
"I must go there myself. I absolutely cannot let this old man break the formation." After the hall master said this, he turned into a wisp of black smoke and flew out of the hall.
Xiao Ze was anxious, but didn't dare show it.
The Right Protector was beside him, so he couldn't pass on any information. He could only console himself with the fact that with all four Spiritual Transformation Stage masters present, nothing serious should happen.
Xiao Ze and the right protector followed the hall master out of the hall.
From a distance, a black smoke was seen rushing towards the righteous sect at an extremely fast speed. The monks who saw it began to exclaim in surprise, and the leaders of each sect were on high alert.
Then, Xiao Ze saw that the black smoke successfully rolled the leader of the Beast Taming Sect and the blueprint that could unlock the Soul Devouring Formation into the Soul Devouring Formation.
The hall master took human form, put one hand on the Beast Tamer Sect's leader's neck, and asked, "Who is Jiang Xi?"
The Beast Tamer Sect's leader was so frightened that his legs trembled. He shouted to where the Beast Tamer Sect monks were standing, "Jiang Xi, come out quickly!"
The person standing in front automatically moved aside, revealing the grass.
Jiang Xi nervously clutched his clothes. Liang Cheng, who was beside him, put his arm around him, showing an obvious protective gesture.
The hall master stared at Jiang Xi for a while. He looked good, but he really didn't know him. He didn't look like the descendant of those old guys.
How did this guy get it? He was the only one who knew how to break the Soul Devouring Formation.
But it doesn’t matter. Although the Beast Taming Sect’s leader’s cultivation is enough to break the formation, the old man is now in his hands.
The hall master threw the old man to the ground and activated the Soul Devouring Formation. In the blink of an eye, the old man's soul was sucked dry. The body of the Beastmaster Sect's leader and the blueprint in his hand were all turned into ashes.
After seeing this scene, Xiao Ze's mind went blank. When he came to his senses, he wanted to curse, but he didn't know who to curse, because it seemed that the person he should have cursed the most had turned into ashes.
The death of the Beast Taming Sect's leader caused great panic among the righteous cultivators, not only because the only way to break the formation was destroyed along with the old man, but also because a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage was so vulnerable in the hands of the Soul Devouring Hall's leader.
Many monks turned around and wanted to run, but they were blocked by the monks behind them and could not escape. They were also asked what happened in front.
By the time the monks behind finally understood the situation, the members of the Soul-Devouring Hall had already followed the hall master's arrangement and circled behind all the monks, forcing them into the formation.
Thanks to the Soul-Devouring Hall's unique geographical conditions, the righteous monks are now sandwiched between two mountains. Coupled with the influence of the Soul-Devouring Formation, they are unable to fly their swords and are trapped in place.
Hearing the screams of the monks at the back of the team, the leaders standing in the front gritted their teeth, thinking that if they didn't fight now they would surely die, but if they fought they could still survive, so they went straight forward, ready to capture the leader first.
As a result, the leader of the Soul Devouring Hall was standing inside the Soul Devouring Formation, and the attack of the Divine Transformation cultivator was completely absorbed by the Soul Devouring Formation before it even touched him.
The Tianxuan Sect's leader grabbed Jiang Xi and said, "Didn't you draw the blueprint for breaking the formation? Break the formation now!"
The situation was critical, and the tone of the Tianxuan Sect leader was not much better.
Jiang Xi's eyes were red and he stammered.
Xiao Ze looked at the Soul Devouring Hall Master who was leisurely and contented beside him. He was not nervous at all.
"What happened?" The leader of Tianxuan Sect roared angrily.
"I...I can only draw the blueprint, but I don't know how to solve the formation!"
The hall master was genuinely shocked when he heard this and said, "I thought he knew his cultivation wasn't strong enough to solve it, but I didn't expect this kid couldn't even solve it!"
As he spoke, he shook his head, as if regretting all the efforts he had made to deal with these people.
Xiao Ze was also shocked. He always felt that the righteous path was now a group of mob.
But will a rabbit bite if it is cornered?
The surviving monks of the righteous path saw that they could not escape and began to fight desperately.
The remaining few sect leaders were no longer afraid of the Soul-Devouring Formation and directly entered the formation to fight with the Soul-Devouring Hall Master.
Fortunately, the Soul Devouring Formation has a drawback, which is that the hall master can only concentrate all his mind to quickly suck a person dry. Several leaders fought back and forth with the hall master.
But this is not a long-term solution. The longer it drags on, the weaker the leader whose power is absorbed will become, while the hall master will become stronger.
If they can't find a solution, they will all die here today.
Su Qingjun flew in front of Jiang Xi and said, "Since you can draw, draw the solution."
"But there is no paper and pen here." Jiang Xi said in a low voice.
Su Qingjun was almost mad at what happened today. What was once a sure win had turned out to be a matter of life and death.
If the sects at that time had not fought openly or secretly, but had helped each other and shared the blueprints, wouldn't the Soul-Devouring Formation have been solved long ago?
Xiao Ze, despite the danger of losing his life, ambushed the Soul Devouring Hall to pass on such useful information to them and gave them two years to prepare, but ended up like this.
These people are damn good!
Looking at the Jiang Xi in front of him, Su Qingjun felt even more annoyed: "Find a branch and draw it on the ground."
"But...but..." Jiang Xi hesitated again.
"But what?" Su Qingjun felt extremely tired as he had to defend against the attacks of the Soul Devouring Hall members and talk to the hesitant Jiang Xi.
"It took me three days to finish the drawing last time."
Jiang Xi's words destroyed the last glimmer of hope of breaking the formation. What should they do?
Just wait to die like this?
Looking at the battle situation in the Soul Devouring Formation, the leader of the Hehuan Sect, who was in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, was gradually losing his spiritual power.
Outside the Soul Devouring Formation, the members of the Soul Devouring Hall fought bravely after seeing the decline of the righteous sect, while the cultivators of the righteous sect were all thinking about how to save their own lives and how to escape as soon as possible.
Is there really no other solution?
