Three days ago.
Just when Sima Youyue and Di Wu jumped down from the city wall, a group of people gathered at a huge plaza in the center of the forbidden land.
This square was different from other squares. It was surrounded by eighty-one hundred-meter-tall black stone pillars. Four pillars stood in four different directions of the square. Each stone pillar was carved with various ancient spirit beasts. At the center of the square was not a hard rock, but a huge pool.
At this moment, the water-like liquid in the pool was moving restlessly. Above the pool, there was a semicircular ripple that wrapped the liquid in the pool, preventing it from moving out.
Everyone in the square was paying attention to the movement of the pool, their faces full of worry.
"Why isn't this Wu Man here yet?" An old man shouted to the two people beside him.
This old man was the previous Patriarch of the Zhang Family, one of the four stewards of Ghost City, Zhang Hao.
Beside him was Luo Qi and Meng Sha, the manager of the east side of the city. Loki was more than two meters tall and was much taller than the average person. With his beard, he looked like a complete barbarian.
The other one, Meng Sha, looked much gentler. However, his eyes were too cold. Just a glance from him would cause one to feel an endless chill.
"Zhang Hao, Wu Man needs some time to come from the north of the city." Luo Qi said.
"Is her mind still on managing Ghost City?" Meng Sha said coldly, "I'm afraid she doesn't have any thoughts about the survival of this city. Women who think men are all the same. "
"Meng Sha, when will you stop talking with that mouth of yours?" An enchanting woman appeared from the void and coldly glanced at him.
The newcomer was wearing a fiery red dress that exposed her legs and held a red fan in her hand. Even her eyelashes were red.
She glanced at the people present, and her charm was overwhelming.
"I'm really sorry, my mouth likes to speak the truth." Meng Sha said, "We're all here, except for you. It's inevitable that everyone would think that way."
"One day, I will poison your mouth until you become mute." Wu Man said.
"Enough! Look at the situation we're in right now. Why are you still talking nonsense?" Zhang Hao stopped the two of them from continuing.
If it was any other time, they would have said it. However, the situation was different now. There was no time for them to bicker.
Wu Man came to the side of the pool and looked at the surging energy that was attacking the barrier. Some of it had even broken through the barrier and turned into black smoke. It wanted to rush out, but Wu Man swatted it away with her fan.
"Why did it suddenly become so turbulent? My strength has also increased quite a bit. " She casually fanned herself, every movement exuding a charming aura. Even her puzzled look was so alluring.
"It's probably caused by the commotion at Sunset Mountain." Zhang Hao said, "Ever since that incident, the commotion here has become more frequent."
Wu Man's hand that was fanning herself paused for a moment. Then, she returned to normal and said, "This place is closely connected to Sunset Mountain. It is normal for there to be some influence."
"I think this seal is about to be broken. I'm afraid it won't last much longer." Luo Qi said.
"Have you informed the City Lord?"
"I can't contact the City Lord. Others can't enter that place. "Meng Sha said.
"If the City Lord doesn't come back, I'm afraid this seal won't be able to suppress it." Zhang Hao said.
"Its strength has been growing. The people guarding here said that this power seems to have been nourished recently. Its strength is growing very quickly." Luo Qi added.
"Since we can't contact the City Lord, then we can only suppress it for now. Then, we can find the City Lord and rearrange the seal." Wu Man suggested.
"That's the only way now."
"Is everyone here?"
"All the guards of the forbidden area are here." Zhang Hao said, "Now, we're just waiting for you to arrive."
"Then let's begin."
"Everyone get ready!" Zhang Hao waved his hand. All the guards in the plaza stood in a circle around the pool. Eighty one people flew to the pillars. Wu Man and the other three flew to the pillars in the four directions.
"Seal!"
With a command, everyone poured their spirit energy into the pool. The spirit energy was added to the seal's barrier. The barrier that was on the verge of collapse was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Roar-"
The power in the pool felt that the seal's strength was increasing. It churned even more fiercely, as if it was going to make a final struggle. The seal that had just been repaired was once again weakened by the impact.
"Again! We must suppress it! "Zhang Hao said to everyone.
"Yes!"
Everyone once again mobilized their spirit energy, pouring it into the seal even stronger than before. They began to fight with the power inside.
"No, we can't suppress that power like this!" Luo Qi said.
"Wu Man!" Zhang Hao called out.
"Bullying this old lady?" Wu Man scolded. She threw the fan in her hand into the air. That fan slowly grew in the air until it was the size of the pool.
The power in the pool seemed to be a bit afraid of this red fan. When this fan was pressed down in the air, its resistance clearly weakened by quite a bit.
"Now!" Meng Sha shouted. Everyone simultaneously mobilized their spirit energy to the strongest. A portion of it was poured into the seal, while the rest attacked inside.
"Ang-"
A mournful and unwilling cry came from the pool. Then, it slowly quieted down. The churning power slowly calmed down.
"Withdraw!"
Once Zhang Hao said this, everyone simultaneously withdrew their spirit energy. That was why no one was injured.
However, everyone was very tired. Although the duration was not very long, only about an hour, everyone's spirit energy seemed to have been emptied.
"Everyone, eat some pills to recuperate." Zhang Hao said.
All the guards were given pills. They ate the pills, then sat down and meditated to recover their spirit energy.
Wu Man waved her hand. That fan returned to its original size and flew back into her hand.
Although they had successfully suppressed the power they had obtained this time, their faces did not relax completely.
"Although we temporarily suppressed it, we don't know if it has really settled down." Luo Qi said.
"I can feel that it hasn't completely given up. It's just dormant. If it attacks, I'm afraid it will resist even more. "Wu Man said worriedly.
"I can feel it too." Meng Sha said, "That's why we can't leave this place for two days in case it suddenly attacks."
"That's the only way. If this power breaks out of the seal, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist. The entire city's people will be affected. "
"Then should we tell them in advance and let them go out to hide?" Luo Qi suggested.
"How do we tell them? Once they know, I'm afraid it will cause even more chaos. "Zhang Hao said coldly.
"I agree. We'll observe a bit more. If it's really dangerous, it won't be too late to tell them. "Meng Sha said.
However, they did not expect that things would change so quickly. The danger would come so suddenly.
