Qi Zian thought that Qin Shujian was there to deal with the evil fiend in the Limestone Stronghold.
Actually …
His guess was not wrong.
However, only Qin Shujian knew the truth.
The evil fiend in the Limestone Stronghold was his target. The evil fiend in the other True Dominion Strongholds was also his prey.
Now, he had to do everything.
He had to make every second count.
Therefore …
Qin Shujian did not have much time to talk nonsense with Qi Zian, let alone spend a night leisurely and slowly deal with the evil fiend.
Qi Zian did not reject his request.
His original words were just out of courtesy.
Since Qi Zian was so eager to seal the altar, it was a good thing for the Stronghold.
After all, there was a problem with the seal.
No one knew when the seal would suddenly break.
When the time came …
No one in the Stronghold would be able to survive.
The Stronghold was strong and there were many experts overseeing the Stronghold.
However, no one in the True Dominion was a match for the evil fiend, unless they were experts who had condensed the Universal Sky Lock.
As for condensing the Universal Sky Lock …
For thousands of years …
Qin Shujian was the only one in the Beiyun Manor who had done so.
Soon …
Following Qi Zi 'an's lead, Qin Shujian walked into the fortress.
Not long after …
A small Stronghold appeared in front of them.
Qi Zian could tell that Qin Shujian was puzzled.
Qi Zian explained, "Ever since there was a problem with the seal, the Fiend Qi seeped out. In order to prevent the Fiend Qi from contaminating the seal, I ordered people to build a small Stronghold here.
This is so that if there is a problem, we will not be helpless. "
Qin Shujian did not comment on this.
If the evil fiend really broke out of the seal, building a few more Strongholds would not make any difference, let alone building one more Stronghold.
Qi Zian and the others guarding this Stronghold were no different from licking blood on the blade.
It would be fine if there was no problem with the seal.
However, if the seal really broke …
If the evil fiend broke out of the seal, no one in the Limestone Stronghold would be able to escape.
Not far from the inner fortress, Qin Shujian suddenly stopped.
His eyes gazed into the distance.
In addition to the light green Spirit Qi, there were also traces of black Devil Qi lingering around.
When it came to the density of Devil Qi …
It was much stronger than the other places in the Limestone Stronghold.
"It would appear that there's a major problem with the seal here."
Qin Shujian's expression turned grave when he saw the dense Devil Qi.
If the seal was intact.
No matter how monstrous the devilish Qi was, it couldn't leak out at all.
In a situation like this.
The seal was basically broken.
Once the seal was broken, it meant that the seal was no longer intact.
If things continued like this …
It was only a matter of time before the Evil Demon broke the seal.
Seeing Qin Shujian stop, Qi Zian asked in confusion, "Sect Master Qin, is there a problem?"
"No problem. Let's go in and take a look."
"Sect Master Qin, please follow me."
Qi Zian suppressed the doubts in his heart and walked to the front of the Stronghold. He symbolically showed his identity token and led Qin Shujian inside.
The passageways of the Stronghold were endless.
It indicated that Qi Zian must have spent a lot of effort to build this Stronghold.
After walking into the Stronghold.
Qin Shujian found that the Devil Qi around him had become denser.
As for the surrounding walls of the Stronghold, there were runes engraved on them, which were suppressing the Devil Qi.
In Qin Shujian's opinion.
The person who set up this Array might not even be at the level of a Formation Master.
The technique was too rough.
The connection between the runes was not perfect. It could even be said that there were many loopholes.
Such an Array.
If the evil fiend really broke out of the seal, it wouldn't be of any use at all.
Even if a small amount of Devil Qi was suppressed, it wouldn't be perfect.
Or else …
There wouldn't be any Devil Qi spilling out, causing the entire Stronghold to be faintly filled with Devil Qi.
"When the Stronghold was built, the Marquis sent an Array Master to set up the Array."
"Yes."
Qin Shujian nodded slightly and didn't say too much about the Array.
He knew that the Array Dao of the Beiyun Mansion was desolate.
But he didn't expect it to be so desolate.
The dignified Beiyun Mansion could only send an upper-grade Array Master. They didn't even have an Array Master.
Previously, Xiao Hong brought 30 people from the Beiyun Mansion and asked him to train a few upper-grade Array Masters. He thought that the Beiyun Mansion only wanted him to help train some potential Array Masters.
But now it seemed.
He was afraid that the Beiyun Mansion really didn't have an upper-grade Array Master. It wasn't as simple as just training potential Array Masters.
After entering the Stronghold.
Qi Zian's expression became serious. He pointed to the front and said, "That's where the Sealing Altar is. Sect Master Qin, please follow me."
While speaking.
He took out two Jade Talismans from his Storage Ring and handed one over. "This is a Protective Jade Talisman. If you wear it, you won't be infected by the Demon Qi."
Qi Zian looked at the Jade Talisman in his hand. There was a faint flow of Spirit Qi in it.
Seeing this.
Qin Shujian shook his head slightly and said, "Commander Qi, keep it for yourself. I don't need this kind of thing."
Hearing this, Qi Zian didn't insist.
After putting away one Jade Talisman, he held the other one in his hand.
Then, he led the way in front.
"Sect Master Qin, please follow me."
"Please!"
Qin Shujian followed behind Qi Zian and walked toward the Sealing Altar.
Speaking of the Stronghold.
In fact, the space inside was not small at all.
After walking for a few minutes.
The Demon Qi had become denser. The ground below had been infected with a faint black color.
But this kind of black color.
Compared to the Demon Earth that was completely infected by the Demon Qi, it was still very different.
But —
Seeing this scene, Qin Shujian's expression became subtle.
As for Qi Zian, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
"Previously, the Demon Qi hadn't reached the extent of infecting the ground. I don't know when it reached this point!"
When he spoke, his tone was full of solemnity.
The Jade Talisman in his hand emitted a faint blue light, isolating the Demon Qi in the surroundings.
This time.
Qi Zian was really shocked.
Because in his memory, although the Demon Qi was overflowing, it had never reached such a serious extent.
"The extent of the destruction of the seal is already very serious."
Qin Shujian said in a deep voice.
He recalled that in the Jade Talisman that Marquis Beiyun had given him, he had emphasized that he hoped that he could take action and eliminate the demons in the Limestone Stronghold first.
Originally, he thought that there was a small problem in the Limestone Stronghold.
But now it seemed.
The problem was really big.
The Demon Qi had infected the ground. At least ten to twenty percent of the seal had been broken.
This level of destruction.
To put it exaggeratedly, the demons could break out of the seal at any time. But judging from the Demon Qi outside, it was definitely not as dense as this.
Thoughts raced in his mind.
Qin Shujian said in a serious voice, "The demons below must be accumulating strength to destroy the seal bit by bit. However, they are deliberately suppressing the Demon Qi to not attract your attention."
"Sect Master Qin, do you mean that the demons intend to accumulate enough strength to break out of the seal?"
Qi Zian's heart pounded wildly.
He knew very well.
What did Qin Shujian mean?
If the demons broke out of the seal, the entire Limestone Stronghold would be destroyed.
Even if the experts from the imperial court wanted to help, they would not be able to make it in time.
More importantly …
Once the demons broke out of the seal …
The entire True Dominion would become a Demon Domain.
When that time came …
The other strongholds in the True Dominion would also be destroyed by the demons.
Then he, Qi Zian …
Would be the sinner of the Beiyun Manor.
"Let's go and see what the demons intend to do!" As he spoke, Qin Shujian was about to walk forward.
Qi Zian suddenly said hesitantly, "Sect Master Qin, since the demons have already made plans, do you need to prepare anything in advance? Or do you want to go directly?"
"They are just demons. There is no need to prepare anything," Qin Shujian said faintly. "Let's go!"
This time …
He walked in front of Qi Zian.
Now that they were not far from the sealing altar, they could see the few bronze pillars in the distance.
Qi Zian saw Qin Shujian's confident expression.
Qi Zian, who had been worried, was temporarily relieved.
After all, the other party was an Array Dao Grandmaster. It was rumored that he had broken the boundary of the True Dominion and become the first Spirit Dominion Protectorate Lord in 1,000 years.
With such strength …
Qi Zian was too weak compared to the other party.
Since Qin Shujian was so confident, Qi Zian could only choose to believe him.
However, to be on the safe side …
Qi Zian took out his communication jade talisman and sent a message out, asking the people in the stronghold to be on guard. If there was a problem, they could suppress the demons immediately.
His actions were subtle.
However, they did not escape Qin Shujian's perception.
To this …
Qin Shujian did not bother to pay attention to it.
After all, the other party was the commander of the Limestone Stronghold. He did not care what the other party wanted to do as long as it did not affect him.
As they went deeper …
The density of the Fiendish Qi became very strong.
However, although the Fiendish Qi was strong, it seemed to be suppressed by some force. As a result, the Fiendish Qi only lingered within 1,000 feet and did not spread too far.
Soon …
An altar seal appeared in front of Qin Shujian and Qi Zian.
The nine bronze pillars were arranged in a mysterious way.
On the ground …
A huge nine-star array was engraved.
However, what could be seen was …
One corner of the nine-star array had cracked, and wisps of Fiendish Qi were seeping out. As for the nine surrounding bronze pillars, one of them was half full of cracks, while the others were intact.
Seeing this …
Qin Shujian's eyes flickered.
The nine-star array!
In the Ordinary Realm …
The most powerful sealing array Qin Shujian had ever encountered was the eight-star array.
As for the nine-star array …
This was the first time he had encountered it.
The more powerful the formation was, the more powerful the evil spirit sealed within it would be.
