With the guidance of the underworld messengers, the group discussed their plan and quickly devised a strategy.
The formation within a formation wasn't as difficult to break as they had imagined. After all, what they were facing was just a decoy. Once they saw through it, they became even more confident.
The underworld officials stood in mid-air watching their actions, nodding occasionally. Although they were not as advanced as their generation, they had made progress nonetheless.
As he gazed at the starry sky, a memory seemed to flash through his mind, a scene from his past life, though thousands of years had passed and he had almost forgotten it.
Wu Chenxi unleashed her magical artifact, and Hua Xiangyun also released the Nine Lotus Cauldron this time. It was a crucial step in determining the success or failure of today's event.
If the opponent really activates the formation, the Nine Lotus Cauldron will have to compete with them for the feng shui spiritual energy.
The Yin messenger floating in the sky stared intently at the Nine Lotus Cauldron. It seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
But it doesn't seem quite right; the cauldron in my mind doesn't have such power...
Zhan Wu led Zhan Xiang to a specific location, and as soon as he took out the Bagua compass, he immediately retreated far away.
Although he had cultivated in his earlier years, he had become lax over the years and naturally dared not cause trouble here.
Jiang Yi held the Soul-Driving Whip he had obtained from Rong Nao Lao Gui, waiting for Wu Chenxi to give the order.
With everything prepared, Wu Chenxi gave the order, and the four of them headed towards the array eye they were responsible for.
As the magical artifact struck, a rumble echoed through the mountains, and soon the group was buried in the dust.
The ghost messenger floating in the sky made a move, and the hundred-year-old souls that were originally scattered on various mountain peaks involuntarily floated toward him.
They quickly gathered behind him. They had been panicked, but when they saw Hua Xiangyun and the others doing their work below, they calmed down.
This is different from what was said before, that they should stay and guard their own graves. Now, something has changed, but instead, the underworld officials have appeared before them, so they are not so afraid anymore.
As for the spirits that were watching from afar, they all scattered the moment they saw the underworld officials.
The underworld official only glanced at them. After the brutal war, the underworld was already overflowing with souls; otherwise, it wouldn't have allowed them to linger like this. However, after a few more years, when they are reincarnated, the world should also be properly cleaned up.
To avoid the possibility of some ancient or thousand-year-old spirit appearing again, which would only increase his workload.
As the dust settled, Hua Xiangyun and the others delivered their final blow. Each of them struck the center of the formation with their respective magical artifacts. Just then, a burst of spiritual energy spread out, instantly sending them all flying.
Wu Chenxi, with the highest cultivation level, quickly regained her footing.
With the help of the Nine Lotus Cauldron, Hua Xiangyun quickly gained a foothold.
Jiang Yi and Zhan Xiang were not so lucky. The former crashed into a tree and bounced back, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Hua Xiangyun rushed over and supported him with a worried expression.
Zhan Xiang was thrown a long way and crashed heavily to the ground with a muffled groan.
On the other side of the sea, an old man with white hair coughed up a mouthful of blood, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already dead.
Behind him, the serpent coiled on the pillar suddenly began to writhe and slither throughout the house, as if enduring immense pain. With a deafening roar, the entire courtyard was razed to the ground.
The tribesmen who rushed over upon hearing the commotion found it too late to escape when they witnessed the astonishing scene before them.
The vine snake writhed and twisted, leaving ashes in its wake. All that remained was a wail before the crowd lost consciousness.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire mountaintop was razed to the ground, and no one survived. The vine snake also collapsed and turned into dust in an instant.
The residents at the foot of the mountain dared not approach when they heard the commotion. That was a famous Onmyoji family in their city, a forbidden area for everyone, and no one dared to be the first to rush in.
Many days later, everyone realized something was wrong and went to inquire, only to be shocked to learn that not a single member of the entire Onmyoji family had survived.
The other Onmyoji families fell silent upon hearing this, knowing that it was a case of spells backfiring, but they didn't know what the other family had done to bring about this annihilation.
Only a few elderly people remained silent, and from then on they stayed indoors until their deaths.
Hua Xiangyun and the others were unaware of all this; they were currently only immersed in joy, as everything was finally resolved.
The underworld official, carrying the souls, floated down to the ground. "You did a good job, but you need to rearrange their graves. Even though the offerings are gone, you must prevent them from being used again in the future."
The offerings standing behind him, "..."
Wu Chenxi and his group readily agreed, and even planned to hide several hilltops in the mountains and forests.
The fear is that the other party may not have given up their evil intentions and may rekindle their old ways.
The spirits behind the underworld messengers also bowed deeply to them. If it weren't for these masters, they would have been used without even realizing it.
As for the underworld officials, in their view, they were just watching the show from beginning to end.
The underworld official, "...", "Don't forget, you're in someone else's hands now..."
Before leaving, Old Jiang looked at Hua Xiangyun and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. Oh well, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Why force so much?
Seeing that the world was over, the underworld messenger disappeared before their eyes with their souls, and the group collapsed to the ground.
"How are your injuries?" Wu Chenxi was already searching for healing medicines. Fortunately, she had prepared them in advance and placed them in a conspicuous place. "Take them to whoever needs them first."
Hua Xiangyun shook her head, sat down cross-legged, and said, "I just need to recover."
As for Jiang Yi, Hua Xiangyun had just checked his pulse and there was nothing seriously wrong with him.
Zhan Wu took the medicine bottle, poured out a pill, and fed it to Zhan Xiang, who was also the one most deeply injured.
Unexpectedly, Wu Shijie's little apprentice and her fiancé are quite skilled, as their injuries are even less severe than Zhan Xiang's.
The group didn't rush out, but instead recuperated within the formation. They waited until the sky began to glow with rosy light before opening their eyes.
They still have a lot to do next, as they need to rearrange several sacrificial hills.
Zhan Xiang was blind and seriously injured, so he dared not stay and led Zhan Wuxian down the mountain.
Once they were out of sight, Wu Chenxi said with a worried expression, "Your Uncle Zhan's body is too weak. Otherwise, with his cultivation level..."
Hua Xiangyun said, "I'll prepare some tonics for my uncle later. His health really needs some conditioning. Maybe we should find a good traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take a look?"
Wu Chenxi was somewhat tempted. Zhan Xiang was more like a younger brother to her, and she didn't want to see him die young.
"I'll try to find out when the time comes. Many of the old Chinese medicine doctors have retired in recent years, so they won't be easy to find."
Your uncle also ruined his health during those most difficult years. If he doesn't take good care of himself, I'm afraid... Wu Chenxi felt a tightness in her chest as familiar people around her left one by one.
Hua Xiangyun first released several paper figures and cast a spell on them. They instantly swelled up and began digging a grave with tools.
