Using some special materials and following the mysterious rules of heaven and earth to set up a formation that could seize the fortune of heaven and earth was a secret technique that all demonic cultivators should grasp.
After digesting all of Chu Canglan's memories, Han Shuo was no longer a passive person who would wait helplessly for death. Even if his current cultivation wasn't high enough, Han Shuo could still take the initiative by using some demonic formations.
Using the method of acting first and reporting later, Han Shuo directly took over the shop with the place of extreme water. When Harris came over, Han Shuo used Florida as an excuse to beat around the bush.
The Glorious Tanai Cairo mercenary band was in charge of everything. As long as it was in the Glorious Tanai Cairo mercenary band, they weren't afraid of Han Shuo playing any tricks. According to the agreement, as long as Han Shuo and the others killed Florida, the shop would belong to Han Shuo for free. Right now, Han Shuo was just taking it one step ahead of time.
The shop wasn't like other things. If it was an ordinary item that could be carried around, Harris probably wouldn't be willing to hand it over to Han Shuo so early, because he was afraid that Han Shuo would take it away. However, the shop couldn't be moved, and Harris wasn't afraid that Han Shuo would be able to move it away. Moreover, the deed was still in their hands, so Harris didn't say anything after Han Shuo explained, tacitly agreeing to Han Shuo's actions.
This shop that was rumored to be cursed by an evil god was even larger than Han Shuo had imagined. It covered an area of more than four hundred square meters, and had a seventy to eighty square meters courtyard. There were also eight or nine rooms of various sizes, including furniture such as tables, chairs, beds, lamps, and so on.
It was precisely because this was an ominous place that after the owner died, everything in the shop became ominous. No one would take the things in the shop out and cause trouble for themselves. Other than a few blankets and daily necessities, and a few rooms that were covered in dust because no one had lived here for a long time, the entire shop was not lacking anything.
Before they discussed about forming a mercenary group, Han Shuo had already explained the strangeness of this shop. Although Emily, Phoebe, and the others didn't fully understand Han Shuo's explanation, they understood that Han Shuo had already cleaned up the harmful things in the shop. Out of their unconditional trust in Han Shuo, although the two women were still a little uncomfortable with this place, they did not clamor to stop Han Shuo from staying.
Since they had decided to set up the formation, they naturally had to make preparations beforehand. Emily and Phoebe came forward and provided a list to Han Shuo. The two girls were responsible for collecting some necessary cold items as the most basic materials.
Because he was worried about the two girls' safety, Han Shuo had dark dragon Gilbert follow them. With such an extraordinary dark dragon, an archmage, and a swordmaster, the two girls wouldn't be at a disadvantage even if they ran into Edwin.
After everyone had been sent away, Han Shuo chanted a necromancy spell and summoned a dozen skeletal warriors. After giving an order, the skeletal warriors picked up brooms and basins and began to clean the rooms one by one.
The "Shura Soul Formation" was a demonic formation that would cause one to lose one's nature and sink into an illusion. This formation required the aura of death from a hundred ghosts, condensed from cold corpses into six Shura pillars, and then used the blood of virgins as the brush and ink to inscribe demonic runes on the six pillars. In addition, a floating cloud stone would absorb five drops of the caster's blood essence as the eye of the formation.
Once the formation was complete, any enemy who didn't understand the formation would immediately be assaulted by the aura of death from a hundred ghosts if they walked in. Their entire mind would be thrown into disarray and hallucinate. They would discover their other self within the formation, wanting to kill them at all costs. Fear would cause them to instantly descend into a frenzy. No matter how resolute their mind was, it would be very difficult for them to overcome their true nature.
The well in the center of the place of extreme water had been slightly modified by Han Shuo and put to good use. With the well as the eye of the formation, he formed a small-scale "Water Ghost Possession Formation" with some of the materials he'd recently collected for refining water elite zombies. A jellyfish was planted in every vengeful spirit, and they would be catalyzed into water ghosts in the well using a secret technique. Anyone who approached the well would be possessed by the water ghost and be dragged into the well.
When he was setting up these two formations, Han Shuo suddenly sighed with emotion that he indeed had foresight. Once Chu Canglan's demonic arts and the necromancy of this world were used together, it would indeed have miraculous effects beyond imagination.
The ghosts needed for the "Shura Soul Formation" could be replaced by vengeful spirits, and the cold corpses could be replaced by the bodies of ordinary skeletal warriors. The water ghosts for the "Water Ghost Possession Formation" also needed to be catalyzed by vengeful spirits. If Han Shuo hadn't practiced necromancy, he would have had to go to some tombs and slowly gather these materials himself.
However, with his identity as a necromancer, Han Shuo only needed to recite a few incantations to gather all the materials, saving him a lot of effort.
After a busy day, Emily, Phoebe, and Gilbert returned to the shop in the evening. They couldn't help but be surprised by the shop in front of them.
Six white bone pillars were inserted into the six corners of the courtyard. A cold and gloomy aura was emitted from the courtyard. In the void, groups of gray resentful spirits were flying around, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. An evil and gloomy feeling filled the air.
In the middle of the well, a few white shadows floated erratically in the air, twisting into sinister and frightening faces. A blood-red stone sat in a groove next to the well. A few vengeful spirits floated in the air around the stone, and their bodies were also dyed blood-red.
Han Shuo sat cross-legged in front of the stone, shooting out rays of black light from his palms. His palms became a blurry, pitch-black color, and a dense light surrounded his body, making him look incomparably sinister.
The doors to the rooms around the courtyard were all opened. The originally dusty rooms were now spotless, and all the rooms had been cleaned. The lights were bright, and it was filled with warmth and harmony. The sinister and sinister aura that lingered in the courtyard didn't seep into any of the rooms.
"Oh my gosh, what are you doing!" Emily exclaimed. Her slender body turned on the spot, and her eyes were filled with curiosity. She was about to extend her hand to touch the Asura stone pillar formed by the white bones.
"Don't move!" Han Shuo suddenly opened his eyes and shouted at Emily.
Emily, who was about to touch the Asura stone pillar, retracted her jade-like hand when she heard this, as though she was startled. Phoebe and Gilbert were still a little slow. They hadn't expected that in less than a day, this place would actually undergo earth-shattering changes in Han Shuo's hands.
The courtyard was filled with a sinister and strange aura, causing them to feel instinctively uncomfortable. They had never seen some of the strange things and decorations, and they didn't know what they were used for. Their minds were filled with questions.
With a faint smile, Han Shuo stood up from his cross-legged position and dripped a bewitching drop of blood from his right hand onto the stone in front of him. The courtyard, which was already filled with sinister gusts of wind, became even more sinister after this drop of blood was dripped into it. Vengeful spirits howled and danced in the air. A sinister and cold aura of death was incomparably dense, causing one's heart to tremble.
"Did you get what I asked you to buy?" Han Shuo asked with a faint smile.
"You should ask him. The most important things were all collected by him!" Phoebe's face was flushed red as she pointed at Gilbert.
"Evil master, why would you think of collecting the yin blood of virgins? You're too shameless and filthy!" Gilbert cried out and looked at Han Shuo with a face full of disdain, appearing quite excited.
"Cut the crap, did you get what you wanted?" Han Shuo glared angrily at Gilbert.
"Heh heh, I got it, I got it. There's nothing that can't be done with gold coins! I only spent fifty gold coins to walk around a few alleys in the Valley of Sunshine and got what you wanted from the owner. "Gilbert said as he took out a palm-sized bottle and handed it to Han Shuo.
Emily and Phoebe both snorted coldly when they saw him take out the bottle of virgin yin blood, turning their heads and walking towards the rooms in the courtyard.
"Hmph, what did I do? I didn't do it willingly, it was all master's orders! Do you think I did it willingly? Those stinky women in the alleys all looked at me as if I was a pervert with a special hobby. If I hadn't taken out the gold coins, I'm afraid I would've drowned in their spittle! " Gilbert was quite aggrieved when he saw Emily and Phoebe look at him with extreme disdain and couldn't help but complain.
Some rich customers in the Valley of Sunshine liked virgins to serve them. Therefore, in order to attract more customers, the owners would spend large sums of money to buy some virgin slaves. Han Shuo knew this and thus had asked Gilbert to do this.
Although Han Shuo's skin was thick enough, it was still a bit embarrassing for him to buy something like this from others. After all, in the eyes of those who didn't know the truth, this kind of behavior was quite perverted.
"Alright alright, go do what you need to do, don't bother me!" Han Shuo was very understanding of Gilbert's grievances, but didn't console him.
Before they returned, Han Shuo had already used the Demonslayer Edge to carve a complicated pattern on the six Asura pillars formed from the cold corpses. He drew a bucket of spirit water from a place of extreme water and diluted the bottle of virgin yin blood into it.
Using a peach wood spoon to stir the water, Han Shuo grabbed the bucket and flew out. He leapt onto the first Asura pillar and started pouring the liquid from the top of the pillar.
Seeing that Han Shuo had started to work, Emily and Phoebe, who had just entered the warm room, walked out again. Two pairs of bright eyes watched Han Shuo's movements with curiosity.
The reddish-brown liquid flowed down the pattern that Han Shuo had carved earlier. Miraculously, not a single drop of the liquid rolled down. It was as if it was tightly attracted by a force, all of it imprinted into the grooves carved into the stone pillars.
One by one, when Han Shuo had completed the six pillars, Han Shuo casually threw the empty bucket to the side and flew to the blood red stone beside the well. He formed a hand sign to control the demonic formation and a black light flew out from Han Shuo's palm, landing in the center of the blood red stone.
Suddenly, the six stone pillars shone with a reddish-brown light. The patterns engraved on the Asura Pillars were densely packed with all kinds of ferocious ghost faces. The hundreds of wraiths that had been flying around the courtyard were like baby swallows' ghost nests as they flew into the sinister ghost faces engraved on the stone pillars with a whooshing sound.
The wraiths that were originally in a state of nothingness seemed to merge with the sinister ghost faces as soon as they fell into the Asura pillars. Each and every one of them seemed to have a body and began to twist and turn on the stone pillars, revealing a bloody mouth full of fangs. Shrill cries of despair instantly resounded through the night sky, causing one's hair to stand on end and their hearts to tremble.
Not good! Han Shuo was shocked. He hadn't thought that after the formation was formed, there would be such terrifying cries of ghosts and howls of wolves. He immediately formed another hand sign, which fell into the floating cloud stone that had absorbed five drops of his blood essence.
In an instant, the wraiths that had a body were abruptly sucked into the Asura pillars. The stone pillars with hundreds of dancing ghosts suddenly returned to normal. The wraiths within the stone pillars seemed to have been frozen in the sinister ghost faces, without the slightest sign of life.
"Give me all the remaining materials. The formation will be formed soon. Even if that old monster Edwin comes, I will make him suffer!" Han Shuo laughed maniacally as he spoke to Phoebe and Emily.
The two girls were horrified. When they heard Han Shuo's words, their minds were in a mess as they handed over the cold and evil items that Han Shuo had ordered them to purchase to Han Shuo one by one.
After he'd obtained all the materials, Han Shuo's body flitted through the center of the yard under the trio's incredibly puzzled gazes. It was at this moment that the trio discovered that there were many large and small grooves in the ground of the yard. These grooves had been cut flat and were just enough for Han Shuo to place all the items in.
When everything was done, Han Shuo retreated from the courtyard. When Han Shuo stood beside Phoebe and Emily, he called Gilbert to his side.
With a single thought, a beam of blood-red light shot into the sky from the courtyard. In an instant, a chilly wind blew through the courtyard, and the ghosts on the six stone pillars danced wildly. An extremely cold and evil feeling instantly filled the hearts of Phoebe and the others.
The three of them understood that the originally simple courtyard had become a life-threatening danger zone after Han Shuo's torment!
Turning his head to look at Emily, Han Shuo had a mysterious smile on his face as he spoke to the trio, "As long as we set up a soundproof boundary around the area, then it'll be foolproof!"
"Leave this matter to me!" Emily understood and released a dark magic spell. A wave of magic suddenly appeared in the air above the courtyard, like a colorless and formless cover, covering the sky above the courtyard.
"What's going on? Is the evil god's curse acting up again?" Harris's shout suddenly came from outside. A series of footsteps could be heard as Harris and the others from the Cairo mercenary band appeared in front of the shop on their warhorses. Harris dismounted and knocked on the door as he called out.
Because the floating cloud stone was the eye of the formation and had five drops of Han Shuo's blood essence on it, Han Shuo only needed a thought to use the floating cloud stone to control the entire formation within this area.
When he heard Harris' shouts, Han Shuo made some slight adjustments to the formation. All of the abnormalities within the courtyard returned to their original state. Apart from the six Asura pillars, there were no other changes.
"Nothing much, Mister Harris. Is there some news that you want to tell us?" Han Shuo opened the door to the shop and allowed Harris to enter. He answered calmly with a face full of smiles.
After Harris entered, his sharp eyes looked around, scanning every corner of the shop. Only then did he ask Han Shuo with some confusion, "Why are there six strange stone pillars all of a sudden?"
"Oh, we're planning on staying here for a long time. Because we're lacking something to dry our clothes on, we got six pillars as support. How did Mister Harris find the time to come over?"
"There was a bright red light just now, and some of the people in the surrounding shops heard a terrifying howl from within. They said that it was frightening and told us to come over to take a look. I was worried that something would happen to you, so I came over to take a look!"
Laughing lightly, Han Shuo said jokingly, "Those people are always so ignorant. We were just practicing magic just now. With the few of us here, even if the curse came true, we wouldn't be afraid. Don't worry!"
"Eh? Is this pervert who collects the yin blood of virgins also your friend?" Harris nodded and didn't say much. He was about to leave when he suddenly discovered Gilbert and couldn't help but ask Han Shuo.
"Eh … I guess so!" Han Shuo was a bit embarrassed and turned to glare at Gilbert, who was about to explode, to indicate for him to shut up. He then explained to Harris.
"Why do you have a friend like this, he's so disgusting!" Harris looked at Gilbert with extreme disdain and didn't want to stay here any longer. He hurriedly left with the others as if he was trying to hide.
"Goddammit, it's all master's orders, what does it have to do with me!" After Harris left, Gilbert finally couldn't take it anymore and roared angrily, seething with anger.
