Zhang Yan's conveyance light flew into the sky, and his mind was racing. Bai Qunguai followed its instincts, and would not go to a place without Spiritual Vigor. He did not know what attracted it there.
After a while, he arrived at the place where Bai Qunguai had fallen. Looking down from the sky, he was surprised to find that although the monster was full of vigor when it entered the world, its current situation was not very good.
It was currently in a large swamp, and there was actually a large formation around it. Inside the formation, there were countless talismans and chains flying up, firmly binding its body. This ferocious monster writhed and roared, but no matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape.
Logically, a place with weak Spiritual Vigor in this world could not do anything to a monster that had reached the level of Grotto-Heaven. But this was the truth, and the formation seemed to be quite extraordinary. If there was no accident, it should be the work of a mighty person.
Zhang Yan noticed that in a place a little further away, there were more than a thousand people controlling the formation, and at this moment, everyone was inexplicably excited. It seemed that they were not afraid of the Bai Qunguai falling here, but rather happy.
Among them, the leader was a white-haired old man sitting on a palanquin, but his face was red, and the surface of his skin had a bright luster. The ornaments on his body were extremely luxurious, and there were a few young people dressed as necromancers beside him. Further outside, there were dozens of armored guards with swords and bows on their backs. There were also dozens of necromancers sitting cross-legged on the formation door, all of them closed their eyes in concentration, as if they were communicating with something.
After three days and three nights of rampage, Bai Qunguai seemed to finally know that it had no hope of getting out, so it lay there motionlessly, but it did not mean that it had given up. It seemed to be accumulating its strength.
Zhang Yan smiled faintly. This ferocious monster was indeed unintelligent. Only now did it realize that something was wrong. Ever since it entered this realm, it had been constantly emitting a huge amount of spiritual vigor. If there was no external Qi to replenish it, it would definitely not be able to hold on for long. If it continued to emit such a large amount of spiritual vigor, it would consume even faster. In less than half a month, its spiritual vigor would be exhausted.
The people below seemed to be very experienced in dealing with this kind of situation. More than ten people carried out many golden drum instruments and began to beat them.
It could be seen that these magic tools were not ordinary items. Even if they did not come from the same source as the formation, they should have a similar origin. Wherever the sound came from, it seemed to produce a tyrannical power, and all of it gathered towards the formation. <
It didn't take long for Bai Qunguai to go berserk again.
Seeing it move, the drumming also stopped.
After a round of intimidation, the ferocious monster went silent again. However, not long after, the golden drum started to play again under the direction of the necromancers, stirring it up again.
This repeated over a hundred times. After more than ten days, the monster gradually became powerless and refused to move.
The person who was addressed as the State Preceptor stood up from the sedan. He looked at it cautiously and said, "It's almost done. All of you have to watch it carefully."
When everyone heard that, they all became spirited. A young necromancer said happily, "State Preceptor, if we capture this extraterrestrial spiritual monster, our sect can continue for at least another thousand years.
There was also a hint of joy in the State Preceptor's eyes. However, he still cautiously warned, "This spiritual monster has not been captured yet. It's not time to be happy. Don't be careless."
Everyone agreed in unison. Even though they had been entangled with the ferocious beasts for more than half a month, they were fully prepared. There were also people who took shifts day and night. At most, the number of people who appeared in the formation at one time was less than a hundred. Therefore, even though everyone looked a little thinner, they were still very energetic.
Zhang Yan stood high up in the sky and heard the conversation clearly. In terms of cultivation, these people could barely be compared to Ming Qi cultivators. However, the things that they had in their hands were much more powerful.
From the looks of it, this person either came from a declining cultivation sect, or inherited the legacy left behind by a great cultivator. It was highly possible that this Bai Qinguai was lured here by these people. Their purpose was to use the spiritual vigor of this thing for them or their sect's cultivation. This was interesting.
Even though they all came from the extraterrestrial world, he did not have the intention to help this Bai Qinguai escape. This kind of ferocious creature was harmful to the people and was the common enemy of all cultivators. Naturally, he had to get rid of it as soon as possible. It would be best if the people of this world did not need his help.
After a few more days, Bai Qinguai's vitality was greatly damaged. It could not maintain its body anymore. With a loud bang, it broke into countless tiny pieces. Even if some of these pieces managed to escape, it could recover with the help of spiritual vigor and spiritual vigor. However, the spiritual vigor of this world was insufficient. Even if it went to the outside world, it could not do so. Moreover, it was currently trapped in the formation. Therefore, it could not escape at all. Instead, it was suppressed even more easily. < >
The national advisor had been standing there without resting for many days. Only now did he slowly sit down. With a look of exhaustion, he said, "There should be no more twists and turns. It's about time to pull in the net."
The necromancers who were sitting on the formation were also very relaxed. They took out white jars and placed them on the formation. After a long time, drops of spiritual liquid gathered in the jars. About two hours later, the jars were filled. The necromancers moved the jars away and quickly replaced them with another batch.
After working for about a day, the spiritual liquid finally stopped flowing out of the formation.
A young necromancer went up to count and said excitedly, "National advisor, this time we have obtained 3,217 jars of Primary Spiritual Water. It is enough for our descendants to use for a long time." After a pause, he said regretfully, "It's a pity that compared to what the spirit had, we can only get our hands on one or two thousandths of it. It would be great if we could get all of it."
The national advisor shook his head and said, "The remaining ones are for the transportation of the formation. We can't take them. Otherwise, if our descendants don't have enough for their cultivation, how can we use them to activate the formation? If you were in my position in the future, you must not do this."
Hearing his serious tone, the young necromancer bowed and said, "This disciple has learned his lesson."
The white-haired old man said, "Settle the loose ends and we can leave."
Everyone agreed in unison.
These people moved very quickly. In less than two hours, they had placed all the jars on the carriage and kept the tents and instruments. Very soon, someone came to report, "National advisor, everything is packed. Where should we go next? Please tell us, National advisor."
The national advisor looked in one direction and then looked at everyone. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that the disciples are already tired. Otherwise, we can go to the Great Red Pit and see if there are any changes over the years. < > "
A person who looked like an official came up and reminded, "National advisor has been out for a long time. I'm afraid the imperial court is uneasy."
The national advisor thought for a while and said, "Let's go back."
Seeing that they were about to leave, Zhang Yan's eyes flashed. With a snap of his finger, a strand of Qi dynamic attached to one of them. He really wanted to find out the background of these people. However, these people were in a state of excitement and nervousness. Talking to them would easily cause conflict. Therefore, he planned to look for them after the matter was settled.
If his real body came in, he could naturally know everything with a thought. However, in that case, entering the realm might take tens or even hundreds of years. Obviously, the loss outweighed the gain. Moreover, it was not that he had nothing to do here. At least this formation was worth studying, and he might be able to find many clues from here.
After all the people had left, he circled around the formation and examined it for a long time. The mana of the person who set up the formation was at least at the level of Xiang Xiang. Moreover, there was definitely more than one. Judging from the traces, the formation was formed about fifty thousand years ago. Its power in the past was far greater than what he saw now. It should not be used to deal with Bai Qinyao, but something even more ferocious than that.
After examining it, he did not find any other useful clues. He raised his head again and looked at a mountain in the distance. There was a red light rising there. Just Just Now he did not notice it. Now that he looked over, there was a strange Qi dynamic inside that attracted him faintly.
"This should be the Great Red Pit that the national advisor mentioned."
He changed his mind and decided to explore there again. Thus, he rode the wind and clouds and arrived at the location of the red light in a flash. Looking down, he saw that it was actually a large pit that occupied an area of more than a thousand miles. There were red threads spiraling in the soil. There was no vegetation, and there were many pits inside that led underground.
He could tell at a glance that in the past, there should have been people with power fighting here. The surface of the ground was affected by the mana, which was why it was in such a state. The red threads were the remnants of the baleful aura, so it could not harm people. It was just that under the infection of the Qi dynamic, the soil had long been corrupted, causing this place to be barren.
After thinking for a while, he slowly descended and caught a wisp of Qi dynamic. After analyzing it, he found that it was about fifty thousand years ago, which was extremely close to the time when the formation was built. There must be some connection between the two. Most importantly, when he arrived here, he felt that the pull of the Qi dynamic was getting stronger. The source should be coming from the depths of the pit underground.
Just as he was investigating, a group of people came from afar. Everyone was wearing hemp clothes and straw sandals. They all had a cloth bag on their back. Although their clothes were simple, they all exuded an astute aura.
The person walking at the front had a strong physique and thick arms and legs. When he saw Zhang Yan, he saw that the latter's clothes and bearing were extremely extraordinary. He ordered the people behind him to stop while he walked forward. He clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, "I'm Yang Xi. May I ask if this expert is a cultivator hidden in the mountains?"
Zhang Yan had completely restrained the Qi dynamic on his body. He smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that."
"Oh," Yang Xi said, "Expert, it seems that you also want to enter the Great Red Pit to look for treasures?"
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "I'm indeed looking for something, but I don't know if I can find it."
Yang Xi's eyes brightened. He patted his chest and said, "Why don't we go together? Don't look at us because we don't have any magical spells like you cultivators, but we've lived here for generations and are very familiar with the paths in the Great Red Pit. It's not that I'm boasting, but as long as you can come out, you can find it even with your eyes closed."
Zhang Yan thought for a while. Since this person claimed to have lived here for generations, then he might have some understanding of the situation here. Perhaps he could inquire about something. He smiled and agreed, "Alright."
