Chapter 126: The Dream Demon of the Heavenly Demon
Without the annoying people following them, Zhong Ling'er and the others felt happy doing anything. After helping out, the eight of them marched forward for a day, encountering a lot of resources and monsters, as well as two monsters in the early stages of transformation. Fortunately, with Xuanyuan Hongzhi there, the group was able to easily defeat them with the help of formations and talismans.
Zhong Linger narrowed her eyes and smiled. She took out the storage ring containing the divine beast and showed it to Qianliyan. "Master, it's a divine beast. I will have the meat of a divine beast to eat tonight. Wow, my mouth is watering now."
The people outside the secret realm were scratching their heads in anxiety, wishing they could use their clairvoyance to get in and shake Zhong Ling'er's shoulders hard, "Please, don't think about eating. Someone is about to die over there. Go and save them."
The head of the Xuanyuan family was so anxious that he pulled his beard, "Master Wuchen, are you really unable to contact Zhong Ling'er? With Zhong Ling'er's attainments in formations, she should be able to break the formation."
Wu Chen Zhenren was sweating with anxiety, "Ling'er should have no problem breaking the formation, but I don't know if she can get there in time. Who would have thought that the transmission token would not work? How about letting them all come out?"
After expressing her joy at eating a divine beast, Zhong Linger finally took out the Palm of the Universe and began to read it. The more she read, the tighter her brows furrowed. Finally, she sighed to the others and said, "Let's go. Xuanyuan Bing'er and the others are trapped in that village. Let's go and rescue them."
Bai Luochen also took out his palm Qiankun to check, and asked in confusion: "Living dead, what is the living dead? Does it refer to ghost cultivators?"
Zhong Ling'er shook her head to indicate that she didn't know. She dropped a formation plate and led everyone back to the vicinity of the village again.
At this time, the village was shrouded in a large formation. The formation was magnificent and ancient, and the colorful light reached the sky, but there was a faint black air in the gaps between the formation patterns.
When Zhong Ling'er and the others came closer, they saw that many people from various sects had rushed over. There were about ten of them who were not even contestants, but judging by their clothes, they were elders of the Xuanyuan family.
One of them stepped forward and said to Zhong Ling'er respectfully, "Friend Zhong, I am Yuan Kun, the formation master of the Xuanyuan family. We will not affect your competition, but my young master and young lady are trapped inside and their lives are in danger at any time. That's why we were sent in. However, with our attainments in formation, we can't break this formation. Friends Zhong, can you give it a try?"
Zhong Ling'er asked, "You came in from outside, so you should be able to see what's going on inside. Tell me what's going on inside first. Is there any opportunity?"
"Well... Can you break the formation first, little friend Zhong? It's really dangerous in there!"
Zhong Ling'er's eyes were a little cold, "No, this is a forbidden formation, and it is also a magic-sealing formation. There must be something very dangerous inside. What if the formation is broken and that thing escapes?"
Yuan Kun's smile froze for a moment, and then he said awkwardly: "It seems that Mr. Zhong has also seen the effect of this formation, but we can't tell what is inside. There are some strange people inside. They can walk and talk, but they don't look like living people. Not long after the second young master and his companions entered this village, their personalities changed drastically. They fought with each other and... in short, they did some incredible things."
Zhong Ling'er didn't understand what she heard. She wanted to ask what was suppressed inside. Who wants to know about the troubles of Xuanyuan Hongyi and the others?
"What is suppressed in there is the nightmare."
Qinglong's voice sounded in Zhong Linger's sea of consciousness. Zhong Linger looked over and saw that a white ball of light came back with Qinglong.
"It is the will of the heaven in this world, and can be considered a part of the heaven. It is very weak now, so let it stay in the Canghai Pearl for a while."
Zhong Ling'er brought Qinglong and the Heavenly Will into the Canghai Pearl. After a long while, the Heavenly Will spoke weakly, "The demonic energy here is a bit heavier, but it is very helpful to me. Ask whatever you want to ask."
Zhong Ling'er heard an old man's voice. Then she looked at the white ball of light that was getting closer to Zhu Ling and was obviously absorbing Zhu Ling's energy. She suppressed her other questions and decided to solve the problem at hand first.
"What's going on with that village?"
"Tens of thousands of years ago, gods and demons fought a great war. The gods pursued the nightmare demon to that village. The nightmare demon controlled the villagers and threatened them to escape. The gods refused and asked another god to set up a large formation around the village to suppress the nightmare demon."
"Those villagers died a long time ago, but their souls were unable to leave. They were also contaminated by evil spirits and became puppets of the nightmare demon."
"Due to the suppression of the formation, the Dream Demon has been seriously injured and has been sleeping for nearly ten thousand years. It was the entry of those people that woke up the Dream Demon and caused the formation to restart. The Dream Demon knows of your existence, so it keeps torturing them, hoping that you will break the formation and release it."
"How strong is the nightmare now? Can we destroy it?"
"Even the gods can't destroy it, they can only trap it. Do you think you can do it? No matter how weak it is, you can't kill it. If it comes out, at least it will be invincible in this world."
"Can I try to get the people inside out?"
"The nightmare demon left a clone in each of them. The formation will not let anything contaminated with demonic energy out. If you break the formation and bring out a clone of the nightmare demon, it is equivalent to bringing it out."
This matter is still difficult to handle. Zhong Ling'er looked at Yuan Kun and spread her hands, "Why don't you go back and persuade your family's head to have two more children while he is still young. These two big ones are useless, so you should spend more time on the small ones in the future."
Yuan Kun twitched his lips, "Friend Zhong, you can't break this formation, or is there another reason? There are still some people from Dongzhou in there." Is it really okay for you to sentence my young master and young lady to death? Also, the big and small numbers refer to big children and small children, right? You can't just give birth to a child whenever you want.
"Well, judging from the current situation, if the formation is not broken, they will die. If the formation is broken, all of us will die. Tell me, which one would you choose?"
Yuan Kun looked dumbfounded. How could he dare to choose? "The situation inside is very strange, but it won't kill everyone."
Zhong Linger touched a few array patterns, and the light of the array in front of her dimmed, revealing the situation inside.
"See? It's dark inside, full of demonic energy, but there aren't many demons. According to this concentration, there should be a demon inside, so there is a demon-sealing formation. This world has been around for tens of thousands of years, right? Think about it, what kind of demon was there tens of thousands of years ago? It should be a celestial demon, right? Who of us do you think can kill the celestial demon?"
Everyone in the secret realm was stunned. Likewise, the noisy crowd outside the secret realm also quieted down. Patriarch Xuanyuan glared fiercely at Patriarch Su. At the same time, many people cast accusing glances at Master Hongyuan.
