The scholar had changed into a clean set of green robes and pushed open the door. It was Su Zimo who had fled all the way here.
The attention of the hundred Genying Zhenjun was drawn over instantly.
In the dilapidated house, the old woman could not see what was happening outside. She merely hugged the child tightly and tried her best to protect him.
"Little beast, you're finally willing to show yourself?"
The many Genying Zhenjun stood in the air and looked down at the mansion not far away, either sneering or mocking.
With an indifferent expression, Su Zimo walked down the stone steps and arrived in the courtyard. He looked at the old man under the peach blossom tree quietly with a hint of sorrow in his eyes.
The old man's eyes were tightly shut and he had a serene expression, as though he was in a deep sleep.
The fire in the red clay stove was not extinguished and flickered.
There was still a bowl of wine left on top of it that was still warm.
The hundred Genying Zhenjun surrounded him but Su Zimo ignored them. He walked to the side of the stove and raised the bowl of wine, downing it in a single gulp!
"This wine is so fragrant."
Su Zimo murmured softly.
That was Su Hong's final sentence.
The multitude of living beings floated in the sea. Some came for benefits, some went for benefits.
Even cultivators were no exception. They either sought power or longevity. How many of them could be as carefree and open-minded as Su Hong?
"Beast!"
One of the Genying Zhenjun hollered, "If you surrender and hand over the divine phoenix bone obediently and the cultivation technique of the demon race that you're cultivating, we might leave you with an intact corpse!"
"Otherwise, I'll burn your brother's corpse to ashes!"
Su Zimo remained silent and merely looked at the hundred Genying Zhenjun with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Another Genying Zhenjun laughed sinisterly. "Also, from today onwards, there won't be a single soul left in this place!"
His voice echoed throughout the entire Ping Yang Town.
Cries of surprise could be heard from the tile-roofed houses.
In some mansions, there were even faint sobbing sounds of women and children crying. A sense of fear permeated Ping Yang Town and grew in everyone's hearts.
In the broken roof of the house, the old woman gently stroked the child's back and comforted him in a low voice, but two lines of hot tears flowed down her face.
The lives of mortals were like grass. In front of a cultivator, they had no power to resist at all!
This was their fate.
There was nothing they could do.
An old man with a walking stick walked out of the room shakily. He knelt down toward the powerful figures in the air and said sorrowfully:
"Exalted Immortal, please take pity on me. I'm already on the verge of death and won't live for long. I'm at Exalted Immortal's disposal, and I can die without regrets. However, there are more than 3,000 women and children in Ping Yang Town. Exalted Immortal, please take pity on them and give them a way out! "
The old man's heart was weeping blood, his expression sorrowful and moving.
However, the hundreds of Genying Zhenjun looked indifferent. Some of them ignored him, some of them had a look of mockery in their eyes, and some of them even sneered.
"Noisy!"
One of the Genying Zhenjun hollered impatiently.
The old man felt his ears buzzing and his head spinning. He fell to the ground choking.
"Hahaha!"
The Genying Zhenjun roared in laughter. "If you want to blame someone, blame this town for giving birth to a monster incarnate, a beast! He's the one who implicated you! "
"Hais."
Right at this moment, a faint sigh sounded from the courtyard.
"Since you're here, don't leave."
Su Zimo said indifferently, "Activate!"
Buzz!
Whoosh!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Instantly, the world quaked!
Above the firmaments, astral winds howled and lightning flashed. The light of the stars and moon was dazzling. Instantly, a terrifying and sinister power descended and shrouded Ping Yang Town.
"Ah!"
The hundreds of Genying Zhenjun in midair discovered to their horror that they could not mobilize their Essence Spirits!
There was an extremely strange power that was restraining his Primordial Spirit!
The reason why the Genying Zhenjun was strong was because they could mobilize Heaven and Earth powers after cultivating their Essence Spirits. In other words, it was the legendary Dharmic power.
The foundation of many Dharmic weapons and Dharmic arts was the Essence Spirit!
Once the Essence Spirit was restrained, it was equivalent to crippling the Genying Zhenjun's strongest means!
"It's an array formation! It's an array formation!"
One of the Genying Zhenjun shouted in a panic.
"Shut up!"
Another person hollered, "Everyone can tell that this is an array formation! But what is it exactly?! "
Given their knowledge, they naturally knew that they had fallen into an ambush when such a phenomenon occurred.
One of the Genying Zhenjun took a deep breath of air and tried his best to compose himself, saying in a deep voice, "I've dabbled in array formations. If I'm not wrong, this should be an ancient Spirit Lock Formation from the ancient era. However, this ancient formation has been lost. How could it … "
All of a sudden!
Clouds rose around the town.
Standing in Ping Yang Town, they could no longer see anything outside!
The town was completely isolated!
"Another great formation?"
"This should be a trap formation to prevent us from leaving!"
"What! How dare he! What is he trying to do?! "
"Even if our Essence Spirits are restrained, we can still control our spirit energy. How can he fight against us alone if we join forces?!"
Before he finished his sentence, a bedazzling light shone brightly in Ping Yang Town. One after another, light screens shone with mysterious patterns etched on them.
"Ah!"
"The third formation!"
"Not good, our spirit energy is restrained as well!"
"It's the ancient spirit lock formation!"
Many Genying Zhenjun's expressions changed and they could no longer control their bodies, falling from midair one after another.
This time round, everyone was truly flustered.
One was the ancient spirit lock formation and the other was the ancient spirit lock formation.
They were almost crippled!
Coupled with the trapping formation, Ping Yang Town was a cage!
Of the three formations, only the trap formation and the ancient spirit lock formation were set up by Su Zimo in his free time while accompanying Su Hong.
As for the ancient spirit lock formation, given his cultivation realm, he could not comprehend it nor could he set it up.
The reason why he could activate the ancient formation was because of the 49 formation flags that were taken from the ancient temple at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley.
The set of formation flags belonged to the Great Qian Palace and were only placed in the ancient temple after the palace was destroyed.
Don't look down on these inconspicuous flags.
However, in reality, the refinement of each formation flag was extremely meticulous.
The bones of fiend demons were used as the flagpoles and the skin of fiend demons were used as the flagpoles before being refined.
The hair of fiend demons were used as threads to secure the flagpoles and flagpoles.
The blood of fiend demons was used as ink and a brush of Dharmic power was condensed to carve out formation patterns on the flagpoles!
With the 49 formation flags, Su Zimo only had to estimate the range of the ancient spirit lock formation and calculate the formation core before inserting the formation flags into it to activate the formation.
Due to the fact that there were many restrictions on formations and that they took a long time to set up, it was rather passive. Coupled with the fact that many ancient formations were lost, the Dao of formations was on the decline.
However, there was naturally a reason why the Dao of formations was able to remain as one of the four unorthodox groups to this day.
In the ancient era, the Dao of formations was the most flourishing and was the foundation of the human race!
The human race was weak and they relied on many ancient formations to defend against the ten thousand races in the beginning.
Because formations required a fixed location and had to be set up beforehand, the stronger the formation, the longer it would take to set it up. Therefore, it was difficult to unleash its full potential.
When enemies meet on a narrow path, there was no way their opponents would wait for them to set up their formations before fighting to the death.
That was the reason why an emperor created the formation flag technique to make up for the flaws of the Dao of formations!
That emperor was known as the Formation Emperor and was one of the ancient emperors who was on par with the Weapon Emperor who created the Demon Revealing Mirror!
