Chen Yi, in stealth mode, quickly approached the wooden house.
"The formation has been activated. If this continues, everyone will become a sacrifice," he thought to himself.
Only he knew that the heretical cultivator wasn't exaggerating; things would really develop this way...
"Boom!"
As the evil cultivator activated the formation, all the cultivators in the village sensed something was amiss.
"call!"
The mist throughout the entire Yinshan Secret Realm seemed to come alive.
The mist formed a large bowl, enveloping the entire village inside.
"What's going on?"
"The village is surrounded..."
"We can't get out?"
Some wooden huts were located on the edge of the village. The monks nearby realized something was wrong and tried to leave the village, but they were bounced back.
Some people tried to attack the fog-shrouded wall with magic, but it was like punching cotton.
The fog barrier only fluctuated for a moment before returning to normal.
More and more people realized that something was wrong.
"The phosphorescent fire has been isolated from the outside... Who is it? Who set up such a grand formation to plot against us?"
The evil cultivator was very satisfied with the crowd's reaction.
"Twenty-five years! I've been preparing for this day for twenty-five years! Do you know how I've spent these twenty-five years?" he said with a manic expression.
"Twenty-five years?"
The crowd looked at each other strangely.
"How is that possible?"
It's important to know that the Yinshan Secret Realm only lasts for one to two weeks at most each time it opens.
Once the time is up, the secret realm token will be shattered, and those who fail to leave before the deadline will surely die.
There was once a female cultivator who failed to leave the secret realm before the deadline. When it reopened three years later, her relatives and friends searched the entire secret realm but could not find any trace of her.
Such examples are not uncommon.
How could this person stay in the secret realm for so long?
Why set up such a large formation?
"who?"
The evil cultivator suddenly squinted, staring at the wooden house below.
"......."
Chen Yi held his breath.
He quickly took out another concealment talisman and activated it, disguising himself as part of the surrounding environment.
At this moment, many of the cultivators who knew they couldn't escape joined the ranks of those besieging the evil cultivators.
This prevented the heretical practitioners from examining the matter closely.
Seeing this, Chen Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What a cautious fellow; he's even set up a warning array around the cabin."
Yes, he must have accidentally stepped on the warning array.
He smiled confidently: "I can bypass a mere warning formation without even needing any entries."
In any case, his formation level has reached level 1.
He could tell that the level of the warning array set up by this evil cultivator was very low, not even reaching the level of a level 1 array master.
Strange, wasn't that great formation that enveloped Yinshan Village set up by this evil cultivator?
Otherwise, why would the other side have set up such a disorganized and haphazard defensive formation?
He quickly deduced the flaws in the warning array and then sneaked into the wooden house.
He came here for only one purpose: to destroy the main array eye!
At the same time, he guessed that the main array eye should also be an array stake made from white bones, buried deep under the wooden house.
If one makes any moves, the evil cultivators will surely notice.
Therefore, we have no choice but to resort to some drastic measures...
He pulled out two talisman papers, the runes on them half purple and half crimson.
It was his long-hidden trump card—the Thunderfire Talisman!
Because the artist does not understand lightning magic, the conditions for drawing this talisman are very strict. Each time a talisman is drawn, the artist must be struck by lightning by the system once. However, its power is indeed extremely exaggerated.
To be on the safe side, Chen Yi pasted two Thunderfire Talismans on the wooden house floor, directly opposite the main array eye below.
After doing all this, he left the cabin without triggering any warning arrays.
Moreover, in order to avoid being discovered, he used invisibility talismans and concealment talismans continuously, one after another, until he completed the entire "crime".
When Chen Yi returned to Yu Qian and the others, neither of them reacted.
Only after the invisibility and concealment talismans lost their effect did they realize that Chen Yi had returned.
"What did you just do?" Yu Qian asked with a gossipy look on her face.
Wu Lingyao also looked at Chen Yi.
Chen Yi's lips curled slightly upward, and without explaining much, he simply said, "Going to do good deeds."
"???"
The two women looked increasingly bewildered.
Chen Yi looked out the window at the great battle.
It must be said that the evil cultivator was indeed powerful. Despite being surrounded by more than thirty cultivators, he did not lose any ground and even killed more than a dozen of them.
The main reason is that although those cultivators claimed to be joining forces, they did not realize the seriousness of the matter. Many of them were hiding their true abilities, wanting to save their methods for later when they could compete for the Phosphorescent Fire.
As for those cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Refining, they mostly stood by and watched.
They probably also guessed that as long as enough people died, the phosphorescent fire would completely turn red, intentionally sending those late-stage Qi Refining cultivators to their deaths...
Once the evil cultivator's power is exhausted, they can capture him alive, which would be equivalent to gaining control of the great formation.
In a mere instant, the wickedness of human nature in the cultivation world was vividly displayed.
Yu Qian and Wu Lingyao were somewhat helpless.
In this situation, they couldn't get involved.
Chen Yi's eyes flashed. In this situation, only by completely muddying the waters could there be a chance...
He took a deep breath and made a decision.
"Buzz!"
The thunder and fire talisman that was pasted on the floor of the evil cultivator's hut reacted.
The fire elemental power stirred, triggering the lightning elemental power on the other side. The two clashed, creating a powerful collision.
"boom!"
A violent explosion erupted in the wooden hut guarded by the evil cultivators, sending flames soaring into the sky!
The shockwave blasted away the charred fragments of the wooden house, like a series of deadly projectiles.
Those who were fighting the evil cultivators quickly retreated.
The evil cultivator closest to the wooden hut wasn't so lucky; he was pushed away by the impact and nearly got riddled with splinters...
When he finally regained his balance and looked back, the wooden house was gone.
He stared in shock at the large crater in the ground. Just then, a dangerous wave, similar to the aura of the earlier explosion, reappeared.
"No!!!" he screamed.
"Bang!"
The second Thunderfire Talisman was also detonated by Chen Yi.
If the first Thunderfire Talisman only created a large crater, then the second one completely destroyed the array's core buried underground!
The evil cultivator's eyes were bloodshot, and his black hair danced wildly like a python.
His cultivation level dropped significantly, from the eleventh level of Qi Refining, which he once dominated, back to the tenth level of Qi Refining.
"Who exactly is it?"
His sinister voice echoed throughout the entire Yinshan Village.
Which little bastard managed to sneak into his cabin without anyone noticing and even plant two powerful talismans?
Now that his main formation has been damaged and the overall formation is in disarray, he no longer has the strength to dominate the entire field.
But after all, he had been planning this for 25 years, so how could he leave no backup plan?
He shouted up the mountain, "Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python, the red phosphorescent fire concerns a matter of great importance to my sect! Why don't you come and help me at once?!"
"What?"
Yu Qian and Wu Lingyao exchanged a surprised glance.
Did I hear that right? The Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python, isn't that the Foundation Establishment stage demon from the Nine Nether Pool?
It turns out it's related to this heretical cultivator?
The next instant, a huge commotion actually came from the mountainside.
"Splash!"
A massive amount of dark water gushed forth from the Nine Nether Pool, surging towards the foot of the mountain like a flash flood...
