Lan Ziye's pupils suddenly shrank, and he picked up the Falling Star Halberd and slashed towards the dark cloud.
"Ah!" A scream as if made by many people overlapping at the same time was heard, and then five men who looked exactly the same, wearing black tall hats and black robes, appeared around Lan Ziye and surrounded him.
At the same time, Chu Xixuan also opened his eyes, flew to Lan Ziye's side, stood back to back with Lan Ziye, and looked like he was ready to attack at any time.
Lan Ziye raised the corner of his mouth: "No wonder this magic circle has become so powerful, it turns out that its energy source is not the essence stone, but you..."
After a pause, Lan Ziye said solemnly: "Five-sided Black Impermanence!"
"You have some knowledge!" One of the Black Impermanence said sarcastically.
"However, Hades is truly ruthless, sealing his most capable general here to become the energy source for the magic circle!" Lan Ziye said with a sarcastic smile, "If it weren't for someone constantly providing you with spiritual power, I think you would have been drained dry by this magic circle and died in it long ago!"
"You don't need to worry about that. Hades will regularly send some little demons in for us to feed on. The more we feed on, the stronger our spiritual power will become!" said another Black Impermanence. "But in all these years, we've never seen a being with spiritual power as strong as you two. Looks like we're in for another feast today!"
"Don't you think it's pathetic?" Lan Ziye sneered. "What's the point of being powerful? No matter how powerful you are, you're just the center of the formation, trapped in this magic circle without any freedom! The only way to escape is death! So... since we're old acquaintances, I'll just give you a quick ride!"
"Old acquaintance? Who are you?" The fourth Black Impermanence asked with an instantly alert expression.
"Haha, Dongfang Hei Wuchang, have you forgotten who beat you so hard that you cried and snotted and knelt on the ground begging for mercy?" Lan Ziye asked disdainfully.
"The Demon King of Demon King Mountain?" Dongfang Hei Wuchang said with a lost look, and then the image of the girl leaning against a big tree, eating melon seeds leisurely flashed through his mind.
His eyes widened instantly and he asked in disbelief, "Are you Lan Ziye, the head of the Lan family?"
Lan Ziye smiled coldly and said, "Why? Has my appearance changed?"
Hearing Dongfang Hei Wuchang's words, the other four Hei Wuchang looked at each other in confusion. Suddenly, one of them said, "You are right. We are the core of the formation. Death is our liberation, but we cannot die, because if we die, we will no longer exist!"
"What do you mean?" Lan Ziye asked.
"You only guessed half right just now. This magic circle does not use the spiritual power of several of us as its energy source. It uses the power of our souls. When the magic circle is there, the soul is there. When the magic circle is gone, the soul will disappear!" The fifth Black Impermanence said seriously.
Lan Ziye was frightened by Hei Wuchang's words and asked in disbelief, "Pluto, is he crazy?"
The fifth Black Impermanence smiled bitterly and said, "He's just crazy. To achieve immortality, Hades sold his own memories. He has forgotten all the people he once cared about, including us. To him, we are just ordinary subordinates. He can sacrifice us at any time, or even take our souls at any time!"
"So, I'm sorry, Master Lan, we can't be freed!" The fifth Black Impermanence said and attacked Lan Ziye.
