"I wonder who triggered the array formation?" Zhang Lie looked into the distance and saw that in the boundless green sea of fire, there was a large amount of white silk dancing in the air. They were not destroyed in the fire, but instead merged with the vast Ksitigarbha True Brilliance fire, making the Ksitigarbha True Fire look a little strange.
Kang Nanhua also looked at the place where the spell formation was located in the distance, and an ominous feeling gradually rose in her heart. "Wang Lin transmitted his voice to us and told us that a black-robed old man who was familiar with you suddenly attacked and killed you, but your death is very strange. Perhaps you faked your death and hid nearby."
"Although you faked your death, your vitality should have been greatly damaged. From the looks of it, he was right."
Zhang Lie smiled and said, "So you split up to look for me? Wang Lin's eyes are very sharp. I didn't expect him to see through me. "
Kang Nanhua's heart stirred, and she suddenly received a voice transmission from Yang Qing using her Dharmic powers. Immediately, her expression changed slightly. Other than herself and Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing and the rest were all trapped in the sea of fire array formation!
Zhang Lie smiled and said, "That's my Scarlet Ground God-extinguishing Array. It uses the Tyrannical Blood Ten Thousand Poisons Technique to refine the Ksitigarbha True Brilliance, turning it into a boundless sea of poisonous fire. When the array formation is spread out, the land is scarlet for thousands of miles, leaving nothing behind. If I were to host it personally, even an ordinary first-tier Essence Soul realm cultivator would not be able to escape. They would have to suffer the burning of the poisonous fire."
"Although I can't host it now, the array formation has already been activated. It's not something that a cultivator of the Yuanying or Golden Elixir period can withstand."
Zhang Lie looked at Kang Nanhua. "I wanted to catch all of you in one fell swoop. Who knew that you would split up?"
He suddenly lowered his head, his throat rolling, and he laughed in a low voice. "However, this is just right. It couldn't be better. It's much more fun than I expected."
"If all of you are trapped in my array formation, you will be constantly attacked by the poisonous fire. Even if all of you work together, it will be difficult to escape. However, my array formation can only defend against internal attacks, not external attacks. If someone attacks from the inside, it will be destroyed. However …"
Zhang Lie raised his head and smiled at Kang Nanhua. "Nanhua, look carefully. Because I just used a secret technique, I'm now in an extremely weak state. I've even completely lost the power that a Primordial Spirit cultivator should have. Although you have the Army Vanquishing Imperial Halberd to protect you, the current you has a real chance to threaten my life.
"However, I have the Army Destroyer Imperial Halberd. If you want to kill me, you will need to spend some time. I'm afraid that the people in the Scarlet Ground God-killing Formation might not be able to wait for you to kill me before breaking the formation to save them."
"In fact, if you want to kill me, you will have to pay a price. It's hard to say if you will still have the strength to save them."
He smiled as he looked at the ball of light in the distant sky. "Wang Lin can escape to save them, but unfortunately, he's trapped by Sikong You's 10,000 Ghosts Nocturnal Formation. Even if he has the ability to break out, he'll be isolated before my Scarlet Absolute God Formation can be activated. Now that he's trapped in the void by the 10,000 Ghosts Nocturnal Formation, he can't feel the activation of the Scarlet Absolute God Formation. Naturally, he won't be able to save them.
"You don't have to think about using voice transmission to call for him. Without reaching the Essence Soul realm, your magic power can't pass through the Thousand Ghosts Formation. He can use voice transmission to communicate with you, but you won't be able to contact him."
Zhang Lie paused for a moment, as if he had received a voice transmission from someone else. "Oh, Hong Yan is also acting alone, but he didn't fall into the formation. Then, are Yang Qing and the rest in the formation now?"
"Nanhua, you don't have to count on Hong Yan. She's also being held back by someone. Even if she receives the news, she won't be able to break out in a short amount of time."
Zhang Lie clapped his hands and looked at Kang Nanhua. "So, Nanhua, only you have the strength to save them."
"But, don't blame me for not reminding you. Even though it takes time for my power to recover, it's very fast. After you save them, I'll recover at least eighty percent. At that time, I'll leave this place. If you want to kill me, you won't have the chance anymore."
Kang Nanhua's pupils contracted slightly. "Zhang Lie, what do you want?"
Zhang Lie laughed lightly. "Nanhua, if I remember correctly, the most important belief for you is to keep your promise. You swear to keep your promise for your entire life."
"You don't make promises easily, but as long as you make a promise to someone, you will do your best to fulfill it. Even if you have to pay with your life, you won't hesitate."
"Back then, before Hong Feng died, you promised him that you would help me protect the Society of the Strong Gale. I was also there at that time." Zhang Lie calmly said. "After that, you sure enough kept your promise and fought against the Great Zhou dynasty for us survivors of Snowgale who originally had little to do with you."
"You clearly know that it's like hitting a rock with an egg, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. You clearly know that staying with us is precarious, but you still gladly endure it."
"You never entered a sect, but right now you're serving as a protector in Xuanmen Tianzong. For you, joining Xuanmen Tianzong is a promise. You will definitely do your best for Xuanmen Tianzong, isn't that right?"
Zhang Lie smiled. "Then that's good. Now the problem is very simple. Kill me and avenge the entire Society of the Strong Gale, or save the disciples of Xuanmen Tianzong. Which one do you choose?"
He looked at Kang Nanhua and tilted his head. "Don't think about letting me go this time, there will be plenty of chances to kill me in the future. This time I came to find you guys, if I can escape alive, as long as the master of the Xuan Gate is still alive I will definitely hide and not show my face for the rest of my life. I don't want to suffer his wrath."
"Believe me, before you guys couldn't find me, this time you still won't be able to find me. Unless Xuanmen Tianzong can one day rule over the entire Tian Yuan world and command the heavens, no one will dare to disobey."
"But since ancient times, no one has been able to do it. Even the Demon Emperor of the Primordial Era was a bit lacking."
"For the time being, even if the master of the Xuan Gate is as powerful as the heavens and can do this, but I wonder if you, Nanhua, can live to see that day? The affairs of the world are ever-changing. Even if one reached the primordial spirit, there are many who have fallen. "
Zhang Lie suddenly laughed, convulsing with laughter. "That's right, I suddenly remembered something."
He smiled at Kang Nanhua, asking: "Nanhua, when you were young, did you stay for a long time in a small mortal mountain village? Let me see … It was about seventy years ago. Seventy-six years, or seventy-seven years? "
Kang Nanhua's pupils suddenly constricted. She stared at Zhang Lie, her body emitting an unprecedented strong killing intent. "How do you know? Could it be you?! "
Zhang Lie ignored Kang Nanhua's anger, his eyes revealing a look of reminiscence. "At that time, I wasn't that old. I was around twenty years old, right? I was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In the process of cultivation, I suddenly had signs of Qi Deviation. I was extremely irritable, and later, I accidentally entered that small mountain village and lost control of myself and killed many people. "
"When I woke up, I was also filled with regret. I even felt fear and guilt. That matter has been a knot in my heart for a very long time. It almost affected my Core Formation, as well as my Wind and Fire Calamity."
"Now that I think about it, it's a bit funny. However, that might have been the first time I revealed my true nature. Unfortunately, I didn't know at that time and was immersed in regret and shame."
Zhang Lie looked at Kang Nanhua and smiled leisurely. "Nanhua, that was also the first time I heard of your name. At that time, there was a little girl in the village who kept muttering your name before she died. She even had a bit of shallow Qi Condensation cultivation. Was she your disciple, or someone else?"
The anger on Kang Nanhua's face completely disappeared. Her gaze also became calm, as if there were no emotions.
However, an extremely cold killing intent spread out Silently, causing people to feel suffocated.
Zhang Lie smiled. "How is it? Hearing this news makes it easier for me to help you make a choice, right?"
The smile on his face also gradually disappeared. His expression became calm, even calm to the point of numbness. "That's why, Nanhua, I often say that a person's unshakable faith and persistence may not be what they truly want. At a certain moment, they will suddenly realize what is the most important to them, and the things that they previously valued are actually worthless."
"Seize the opportunity to kill me, relieve your anger, relieve your killing intent, untie the knot in your heart from the past, and take revenge. Although it may not be able to make up for all your regrets, it can at least comfort the souls of the dead in heaven."
"Or do you persist in your faith all along, first fulfill your unfinished promise, and save Xuanmen Tianzong's disciple?"
"Nanhua, what do you plan to do?"
Zhang Lie raised his head and looked at the green sea of fire in the distance. A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Seeing a person personally destroy their past self is such an interesting thing. It's much more interesting than cultivating, practicing, and living a free and unfettered life …"
He turned his gaze to the other side and looked through the void. He could vaguely see a hole in the sky in the distance. Stars flickered in the universe, and an ominous star was especially dazzling, as if it had gathered all the killing intent in the world into its body.
"Seven Murders Star …" Zhang Lie muttered to himself. The Army Destroyer Imperial Halberd beside his hand suddenly trembled.
In that direction, a purple light filled with monstrous killing intent, as if it wanted to slaughter all living beings, passed through the layers of void and rushed towards the Scarlet Ground God-extinguishing Formation.
But soon, a large drum rose in the sky. One side of the drum was black, and the other side was white.
The next moment, the drum sounded, and waves of black and white ripples spread out, surrounding the murderous purple light.
In the void, a red-haired girl dressed in purple armor glared at the black and white drum. It was Yue Hongyan.
This black and white drum was an artifact called the Yin Yang Soul Mourning Drum. There were three cultivators below the drum, and they were looking at her with evil smiles.
The three of them were all Yuanying late-stage cultivators. One of them was an old man, and his hands were in the shape of a heavenly king holding a pagoda. He placed his hands under the Yin Yang Soul Mourning Drum and lifted the black and white drum.
As for the other two cultivators, one was dressed in white, and the other was dressed in black, like the Black and White Impermanence. One of them held a skull drumstick that was even thicker than them. They stood on both sides of the drum, and they beat the drum together.
Yue Hongyan had the Seven Murders Star Armor. Even if the three of them worked together to activate the Yin Yang Soul Mourning Drum, they wouldn't dare to say that they could win easily. However, the three of them didn't want to defeat Yue Hongyan. They just kept pestering her, so that she couldn't escape and go to the Scarlet Ground God-extinguishing Formation.
The cultivator in black who beat the drum said with a smile, "I heard that Xuanmen Tianzong Yue Hongyan is a woman who doesn't lose to men, and she never retreated in a fight. Why are you in a hurry to escape today?"
