Chapter 24 Breaking the Game
The head of the Hua family and others immediately channeled their demonic energy to counter, clashing with the weapons of the shadowy figures and creating a piercing sound.
The wave of demonic energy exploded, temporarily repelling the attack of the shadowy figures.
However, the Hua family head and the others knew that once any demon revealed a weakness, the Yu family and these shadowy figures would definitely rush up again to tear apart their temporary protective barrier.
The head of the Hua family turned his head and said calmly to the head of the Jin family, "Shouldn't we stop hiding now?"
"The protective shield is in the Jin family mansion," the Jin family head shook his head with a wry smile, "I only have one group defense magic artifact on me."
Even so, the Jin family head swiftly took out a jade pendant-like magical artifact and then used demonic energy to crush it.
The enormous protective shield instantly protected all the demons.
"This should last for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. After that, we'll have to rely on our demonic energy to sustain us."
The head of the Hua family nodded, his gaze sweeping over the enemies outside the protective shield, before looking towards Liuhua City with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Father," Hua Xian, pale-faced, squeezed through the crowd and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Hua Meng unharmed. "Father, what do we do now? Can we ask the elders who stayed in the city for help?"
Hua Meng remained silent. The Jin family head glanced at Liuhua City, and what he saw was a scarlet dome covering the city.
"Liuhua City, I'm afraid it's not good either..."
"That's not our city's protective shield."
Hua Xian's face turned even paler: "Mother, Mother is still in the city..."
As they spoke, the shadowy figures gradually ceased their attacks, turning instead to gaze fervently at the top of the crimson dome surrounding Liuhua City.
"Attack! Why have you stopped!?"
The head of the Yu family looked around at the shadowy figures, and finally fixed his gaze on Master Dao. He reached out to grab his collar and question him, but Master Dao nimbly dodged to the side.
"Time is up."
The head of the Yu family never had the chance to ask this question.
The head of the Yu family was knocked unconscious by Dao, whose cultivation was superior to his. The shadowy figures acted simultaneously, subduing all the Yu family demons present and casually throwing them together to imprison them with magical artifacts.
Surrounded by numerous Golden Core black shadows, the Yu family had no power to fight back.
Su Yu, holding Feng Twelve's hand, stood among the crowd within the protective shield, his complexion even worse. However, given the widespread panic among the demons, he didn't seem out of place.
He realized that he and his group, who were inside the protective shield, were actually in the same situation as the Yu family, who were imprisoned.
They were like prey that had been caged.
We can't stay inside the protective shield any longer.
Lost in thought, Feng Shier suddenly tugged at his hand.
Su Yu leaned slightly closer and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Feng Shier didn't say anything immediately, but stared at him intently for a long time before asking.
"We're weak, will we die?"
"No," Su Yu told him firmly, whispering in his ear, "I'll tell you a secret..."
"We will live for a very, very long time."
What kind of secret is that?
Feng Shier's eyes showed doubt, but Su Yu ignored it and simply put her index finger to his lips.
Su Yu looked up at Hua Xian's direction and whispered, "Let's not play with him this time."
Feng Shier's eyes lit up.
Su Yu slowly led Feng Twelve into the crowd. With the aid of mental control, they blended in like ink drops into the sea, unnoticed by any demons.
Then, they disappeared without a trace.
Feng Shier felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, without sensing any magical fluctuations, and found himself and his brother in a lush, dense forest.
He turned around in surprise to look around, but quickly lowered his movements at Su Yu's signal.
They were still in the cliff forest, but had ventured deeper into the competition area for the flower-guessing game.
Su Yu coldly looked to the left front, where all the participating clan members were also restrained and controlled, including Yu Jiamo.
It seems I still have to take action myself.
Fortunately, the system has accumulated quite a few space moves over the past two years.
As soon as they finished speaking, they appeared in a corner of Liuhua City.
Instantly, a heavy pressure slammed down on my shoulders, and a feeling of powerlessness washed over me.
No demons attacked them; it was only the effect of the crimson shield.
Su Yu quickly came to a conclusion and pressed Feng Shier, who was stubbornly standing next to him, down to sit.
Su Yu half-squatted in front of him, raised her hand and used her thumb to pry open his lower lip, which he had bitten until it bled.
Feng Shier stared intently at the boy in front of him with his dark, unyielding eyes. He loosened his clenched fist and, with all his might, could only lightly and slowly pinch a corner of the other's clothes.
"You're going to abandon me again."
"I'll be back soon."
Su Yu remained silent for a while, and under Feng Twelve's gaze, she finally gave up the idea of sending him out of Liuhua City. After speaking gently, she dragged out some miscellaneous items and covered Feng Twelve completely.
The other person's face disappeared little by little until even the last piece of clothing was no longer visible.
He was so gentle, yet so heartless.
He always believed that he could solve everything himself.
Under the immense pressure, Feng Shier remained expressionless, his sparse hair casting shadows on his lowered face. His limp hands, resting on the ground, slowly tightened.
No, it's because it's too weak.
On the other hand, Su Yu couldn't shake the image of Feng Shier's red-rimmed eyes from her mind. She felt guilty for a moment, then quickly convinced herself.
Young animals should stay put in dangerous situations.
I don't have the ability to take a cub on a wild adventure right now.
Now, we still need to verify his conjecture.
With a clear goal in mind, Su Yu began knocking and touching things everywhere to find the secret room.
The head of the Yu family was probably brimming with confidence because of those shadowy figures, and he also knew some inside information. There was no demon left in the Yu mansion at all.
Su Yu took out the box that had previously contained the fragments from the Yu family's treasure vault.
It was indeed empty.
The pressure suddenly increased, and the magic began to drain faster.
Su Yu stuffed the box, which was clearly different from the others, into her arms. Unable to stand steadily, she simply relaxed her body and slid down to sit on the ground, tilting her head back, closing her eyes, and leaning against the cabinet, panting.
This scarlet dome must have been formed by an array.
It's related to those fragments...
The core of the formation is not outside the city; their initial deployment in Liuhua City was...
His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a hint of purple flashed in his pupils.
To save energy, Su Yu lay directly on the floor and carefully traced the texture of the floor with her fingertips.
The incomplete array diagram gradually compared and searched in his mind with the array encyclopedia left by System Xiao Qi, and then combined with the terrain of Liuhua City to form a complete layout.
If we rely on this fragment, since the fragment is incomplete, the formation will inevitably have loopholes.
Su Yu braced herself against the floor and slowly stood up, her eyes sparkling with an unusual excitement and joy.
He quickly kicked off his shoes and walked barefoot outwards, following the hidden array patterns beneath the floor.
"Nine-ringed locking formation, mournful spirits offering sacrifices to the gods, fate lines returning to one, hahaha..."
He knew what the patriarch was referring to wanted to do.
Using the lives of an entire city as nourishment, truly befitting the Demon Realm.
Unfortunately, the formation is incomplete; it was destined for him to come...
