Chapter 34 Youthful Spirit
The scene of Lin Du lifting Hong Liu shocked not only the people present, but also the elders of various sects in front of the water mirror.
"This Lindu..."
"It's a formation." The elder of the Lianheng sect who specialized in formations spoke up. "There's nothing wrong with Lin Du's formation. The first golden light was a counter-formation. To break a formation with a counter-formation, you need extremely precise deductions and calculations. If the formation is broken, the resentment will backfire, and the ghosts will linger, and the gates of hell will open."
She paused, her eyes gleaming with a burning light, "This Lin Du is definitely a genius in formation."
"With this counterattack, my disciples may not be able to figure it out even if they are given seven days. They would have been hanging on the red willow tree long ago."
"Speaking of which great master did this Lin Du master learn from?"
Although Ju Yuan thought this little junior sister was really amazing, he felt that Yu Heng was exaggerating a bit. Upon hearing this question, he quickly found the steps and said, "Lin Du, her master is Immortal Venerable Yan Ye."
"Oh, Immortal Venerable Yanye, it's okay then." Yuheng recalled the fear he felt when the Zhongzhou formation was dominated by Yanye.
It makes sense that Lin Du is Yan Ye's disciple.
Both the master and the disciple are so talented that they are freaks that everyone envy and hate them.
Hongliu was attacked by the resentful ghosts that had been suppressed for many years, and was now at the end of her strength. Lin Du did not want Hongliu to explode in her dying struggle, and the ghosts released from the Ghost Gate were obviously not to be trifled with.
She looked up and saw three dumbfounded disciples, and shouted, "Come and help."
Lin Du let go of the red willow and knocked it down. With a loud bang, he stood aside swiftly.
"Is it a Yang Soul Dharma Assembly? Yuan Ye stands in the east, Yan Qing stands in the west, Jin Xuan stands in the south, and form a formation!"
The young man had a thin figure, and against the backdrop of the blood-red willow trees, his figure looked as light as a dot of ink.
The ghostly howling sounds became sharper and sharper, the evil spirit of the red willow surged, the red branches danced in disorder, the thick evil spirit rushed up into the sky, almost condensed into substance, the gloomy ghosts blocked out the sky, crowded together and rushed straight into the sky, swirling into a black and gray tornado, breaking out of the ground one after another from the huge hole where the trunk of the tree was previously, and the roar was deafening.
The heaven and earth were shaking, and seemed to be about to collapse.
Many elders of the sects stood up in front of Shuijing, "Not good! Lin Du released so many resentful ghosts, I'm afraid the small world will collapse!"
"Should we open the gate in advance? Let the children get out quickly!"
Ju Yuan was still sitting there calmly, only his hands were clenched into fists under his wide sleeves. "No hurry, let's wait and see."
"Lin Du is not the reckless kid who doesn't leave himself a way out."
"You said she's just a child!" Jun Qian was also a little anxious.
If the heaven and earth are about to collapse, the small world will be in danger and everyone in it may be hurt.
The three people from the Supreme Sect who were previously in a daze flew out the moment Lin Du shouted.
Four young figures stood in four directions, and almost at the same time, they quickly performed hand gestures in front of their bodies.
The Yang Soul Method uses the Yang Soul of a living person to release the cultivator's maximum Yang energy, and uses the Yang energy that bursts out from one's own body to scare away evil ghosts and spirits.
The four of them had solemn expressions as their aura grew steadily, and in an instant an extremely strong golden light burst out.
All of the disciples of the Supreme Sect are gifted. Among the four, Lin Du represents water and the north, Jin Xuan possesses all five elements and can represent fire and the south, Yuan Ye is protected by dragon energy and his spiritual root represents wood and the east, and Yan Qing's spiritual root represents gold and the west.
It is the most excellent Four Symbols Formation.
Lin Du raised his hand and scattered the seven materials of the Xiaoqi Pass Formation, forming the Seven Stars of the North Fighter, gathering the yang energy of the four people and suppressing it on the dark ghost and the evil red willow.
The golden light bursting from the yang souls in all directions shot up into the sky in an instant, enveloping the gray-black yin souls in a whirlwind. Almost for an instant, the ghost roars were frightened and stopped.
Lin Du raised his eyes and shouted loudly, "Yan Qing! Break the evil spirit!"
Yan Qing raised his hand and pulled out the black iron sword behind him. Without any fear, with a firm look on his face, he chopped at the evil creature that was suppressed by the yang soul.
The young man was a scholar with a profound look in his eyes, but holding a black iron sword, he looked like a fierce tiger, his sword energy was firm and unyielding, and he was unstoppable.
A single sword cut through the golden light, pierced through the dark soul and the red-black evil spirit, and broke the evil with one sword.
Countless ghosts let out their last roar before they were shattered. Their resentment was completely swallowed up by the golden light, which was like a cage. The golden light that shot up into the sky was like a golden dragon swallowing a snake, crushing the resentful energy bit by bit.
The earth shook, but the four young men were still standing steadily on it. Their robes were blown by the strong wind, but their figures were like four unsheathed swords, straight and sharp. Their four pairs of eyes reflected the golden light, showing the fearlessness of the young men.
There was no discussion in front of the mirror for a long time. After a long while, Ju Yuan spoke first, "Because she is still a child."
The evil energy that had been suppressed by those ghosts for at least thousands of years was probably enough to destroy a small collapsing world.
The children will not run away or give in when faced with powerful dangers. They move forward courageously and do their best. Even though the earth is shaking and they may face even greater dangers after destroying the evil spirits in front of them, they are still willing to explode their yang spirits and leave themselves in a weak state.
The youthful spirit does not allow them to become deserters waiting for an opportunity.
"Surprisingly, the four of them joined forces to break the resentment of tens of millions of ghosts. It's really... the young are formidable."
"You are truly worthy of being a disciple of the Supreme Sect."
Outsiders only see the overly dazzling advantages of these children, and only their parents care about the price they pay.
Ju Yuan's eyes swept over the four children, and finally stopped on his little junior sister, whose every move was earth-shattering.
Lin Du was not in good condition. She was born weak. If she wanted to burst out the same yang energy as the four of them, she would definitely overdraw more than them, but she didn't want to fall behind.
If the energy of the formation does not match, the result will definitely be not only insufficient energy or incomplete formation, but also distortion and backlash.
Lin Du took a deep breath and for the first time felt what it felt like to have his body hollowed out.
She took out a pill of Bu Yuan Dan from the daily elixirs that the sect prepared for all disciples to enter the secret realm and swallowed it. A chill ran through her bones, like a maggot in her tarsal bones, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
Lin Du frowned. She had an ice spirit root and was not afraid of the cold. This was due to the overdraft after the burst of yang energy.
One pill was not enough, so she stuffed another one in her mouth and used her spiritual power to dissolve the medicinal power.
Her face was frighteningly pale, and Ni Jinxuan ran over quickly, "Junior Master?"
"I'm fine." Lin Du waved his hands, "The one who's in trouble is underground."
The demonic power of the red willow was suppressed and dispersed by their yang energy just now. The evil spirit was gone and it had no roots, so it could be carried home directly.
She pointed at the willow tree and said, "Who among you wants to take some of this rare and extremely yin thing?"
Yuan Ye glanced at the tree trunk that was still bleeding and shuddered, "No?"
The tone of the junior master's voice was as if he was pointing at a pile of raw meat and asking him to eat some.
Who dares to eat this?
They all waved their hands to express their gratitude, and Lin Du calmly took out a gold satin belt and pulled out the gold thread. The gold thread is yang, and yang can seal yin objects. He tied the willow tree together and threw it into his storage ring.
There was a lot of noise and commotion in this part of the desert, and some monks had already heard the noise and rushed over.
The strong wind gradually died down. Lin Du was exhausted both physically and mentally. He slowly hunched over, supported his knees with his hands, and gasped for breath.
She suddenly noticed something and stared at the deep pit that had been dug.
Through the crisscrossing roots and bones, she saw some silver reflections.
Lin Du narrowed her eyes. It was the flash of silver in the formation, but after ignoring the silver light, she saw a skeleton kneeling in the depths.
The bones had already turned into jade, indicating that the cultivation level was extremely high.
Opposite the white bones were neatly arranged bones. At a quick glance, considering the depth underground, there were at least hundreds of people, all of them were the skeletons of high-level monks. They shone with a lustrous glow like jade, completely different from the skeletons of living people that the Willow Monster had devoured.
Lin Du's scalp suddenly felt numb. She stood up, her throat tightened, "No."
"How many people's bones are there at the root of the tree?"
Ni Jinxuan was stunned, and Yan Qing was the first to count. The three-meter-diameter tree root area was filled with white bones and bloody tree roots crisscrossing each other. The cross-section of the roots that were broken by the impact was still oozing black mucus, and upon closer inspection, it flashed scarlet light.
"One hundred and ninety-seven skulls."
Lin Du added, "One hundred and ninety-seven skulls of low-level monks. They are all monks in the Qinxin realm and Fengchu realm. The oldest skull is more than six hundred years old."
This means that after the willow tree turned into a monster, it ate the monks from Zhongzhou.
"But... we have only been here seven times. Have so many people died? Have so many people died in the desert?"
Lin Du's voice was neither high nor low, and extremely calm.
The three of them simultaneously felt a chill rising from their heads to their feet.
