Misty green light radiated from the walls of Qing Luan City, from the limestone ground, from the towering buildings, and from the lake of clouds within the city!
Everyone who had reached a certain level of cultivation in Azure Phoenix City sensed it.
Liu Ying narrowed her eyes slightly.
She didn't need to use her Meteor Eyes to sense that the most majestic and newly built city in Haoran was starting to change.
Yu Yuan looked around and saw the misty azure light coming out from every corner of the city. He said softly, "The protective formation of Azure Phoenix City has been activated."
"That should be the case." Liu Ying nodded. "I heard from my master that Azure Phoenix City's protective formation is quite extraordinary. Now that the Dark Lightning Dust Mist has filled the sky outside the city and is slowly spreading over, it must have alerted the Chen Family and activated the formation. "
For any great formation, whether it was activated or not was a completely different matter.
Azure Phoenix City was built by the most powerful empire in Qian Xuan Continent. Most of the time, this giant city didn't need to activate the formation.
That was because no one, and no empire, dared to offend them.
A formation of this level that could protect the entire Azure Phoenix City would consume countless spirit stones and all kinds of rare spiritual materials and treasures every day once it was activated.
Unless it was in danger, Azure Phoenix City's great formation wouldn't be activated easily.
At this moment, the activation of the great formation was a kind of omen.
It was a sign that Azure Phoenix City was in danger, so it was prepared in advance.
This also meant that Chen Family and Green Luan Empire both felt the pressure, understanding clearly that after being submerged by the 'Dark Nightmare Dust Mist', if the 'Dark Nightmare Dust Mist' entered the city again, just how passive would they be?
"Strange. Am I overthinking things?"
The activation of Azure Phoenix City's great formation made Yu Yuan touch his chin and wonder.
Not long ago, he had suspected that Chen Liangquan and other clansmen of the Chen Family were secretly colluding with the Zu An and the demons outside.
Just as Chen Langzhi said, Chen Liangquan had contributed greatly to the creation of this city's protective formation.
If Chen Liangquan was really on the same side as the Zu An and allied himself with the alien races and Heavenly Demons from beyond the heavens, he shouldn't have activated the city's formation. Instead, he should have let the Dark Celestial Dust Fog drive straight in and drown the entire Qingluan City.
Or could it be that Chen Liangquan, as one of the constructors of this great array, actually did not have the authority to control it?
Apart from Chen Liangquan, who else in the Chen Clan could completely control this formation?
Princess Qing Luan?!
When he thought up to here, Yu Yuan was slightly shocked, and he was even more puzzled. He kept having the feeling that his heart seemed to be enveloped by the Dark Celestial Dust, and it was extremely dense.
"Yu Yuan!"
Zhan Tianxiang of the Goblin Temple noticed the flickering Meteor Eyes floating in the air and rushed over.
"Are you guys alright?"
Yu Yuan gathered his thoughts and smiled brightly. He saw that other than Zhan Tianxiang, Zhao Yafu from the Goblin Temple, and the three trial takers from the Goblin Temple were all safe and sound.
These young men and women from the Goblin Temple looked tired, but their eyes were still shining.
"We're fine. Someone saved us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to get out of the Dark Celestial Dust Fog." Zhan Tianxiang first greeted Yu Yuan with a smile, and then said seriously, "Liu Ying, on behalf of the Goblin Temple, I would like to thank the Star Luna Sect."
"Is it Senior Uncle Tan?" Liu Ying immediately guessed the reason.
"Yes, Senior Tan Chun Shan of the Star Luna Sect saved us from the great demons of the Crimson Fire Desert." When Zhao Yafu said this, her small face was filled with lingering fear. "I didn't think that many of the great demons that had been removed from the Goblin Temple would secretly step into the Crimson Fire Desert. The few of us were seen as prey by those great demons, and we almost couldn't hold on. "
"Junior Brother Zhan, Junior Sister Zhao, let's find a large cultivation room in the Azure Sky Divine Palace as soon as possible." A skinny Demon Palace youth was too tired to listen to their small talk. "Azure Luan City, this Azure Sky Divine Palace that can be used for cultivation, will soon become a hot commodity."
Zhan Tianxiang hurriedly said, "That's true."
"Big Brother Yu, we'll catch up later. We need to rent a cultivation room immediately. If we're late, the higher grade stone rooms will be reserved by other sects. " Zhao Yafu stuck out her tongue and smiled faintly. Then, she led the people from the Goblin Temple towards the Azure Sky Divine Palace not far away.
Not long after.
Hou Tianzhao and Lin Yue hurried over with the disciples of the Red Devil School and the Blood God.
"Yu Yuan!"
After they arrived, they nodded at Yu Yuan and hurriedly headed towards the Azure Sky Divine Palace.
Hou Tianzhao and Lin Yue's expressions were serious. There was no smile on their faces.
There were only two or three disciples beside them. It seemed that they had suffered heavy casualties.
"Where's Chi Yin? Where are the disciples of the Juling School? "Yu Yuan asked curiously.
He didn't even see a single disciple of the Juling School, so he was curious and asked this question.
Hou Tianzhao's footsteps paused. He turned around and answered casually, "Chi Yin and the trial takers of the Juling School died in the Crimson Fire Desert. This kind of thing is very normal. If you're not strong enough and have bad luck, you can't blame others. "
Lin Yue and the disciples of the Blood God didn't even turn their heads.
The deaths of Chi Yin and the disciples of the Juling School didn't seem to affect him and the disciples of the Blood God at all. It didn't affect their mental states at all.
The disciples of the sects of the Tranquil Continent believed in the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest.
Death, to them, was an extremely normal thing.
Even if it was the disciples of the Red Devil School and the Blood God, they wouldn't care, let alone Chi Yin who wasn't from the same sect as them.
Most of the time, disciples of the same sect were also competitors.
The Great Dao was cruel and merciless. On this rugged path, anyone could die halfway.
Even Yang Gods and Freedom Realm cultivators were no exception, let alone them.
"Where's Kong Banbi?" Yu Yuan asked softly.
"He seems to be alive. I'm not sure." Hou Tianzhao replied. "We'll talk about it later. I'll go to the Azure Sky Divine Palace first and rent a cultivation room."
After that, Yu Yuan and Liu Ying saw that other than these juniors, there were also many guests who had reached the Yin Spirit Realm who came to the Azure Sky Divine Hall as soon as they entered the Azure Phoenix City.
Many of them were seriously injured. Their clothes were burning with blood and their souls were weak.
They hurried to the Azure Sky Divine Palace and found the Chen Family member in charge of the palace to rent a cultivation room.
Yu Yuan went blank for a moment before saying, "All of the major sects have branch offices on Cloud Lake Street and other streets."
"It's not as safe as the Azure Sky Divine Palace, and it's not as comfortable as the cultivation rooms." Liu Ying pointed out the right path. "The cultivation rooms of the Azure Sky Divine Palace are one with the grand formation of Azure Phoenix City. They don't have to worry about being disturbed or attacked when they recover from their injuries. Many people don't feel safe in their own Dao arena. "
"Sometimes, you have to be on your guard against your own people."
Liu Ying stood for a while, her eyes dim. "You should have noticed that many people from third-rate sects like the Tianyuan Continent and the Tranquil Continent didn't return."
Yu Yuan nodded lightly. "That's right."
When he emerged from the Chen Family's teleportation formation in the Barren Forgotten Grounds, the first people he saw weren't the disciples of the major sects or the lower sects, the Goblin Temple, the Devil's Palace, the Red Devil School, or the Blood God.
People from the third-rate sects made up the majority, about eighty percent of them.
Those people thought that the Crimson Fire Desert's exorcism was easy, so they laughed and didn't take it seriously.
In the end, most of them stayed in the Crimson Fire Desert forever and didn't come out alive.
"Don't think about leaving for now." Liu Ying sighed softly. "They made the right choice. Stay in the cultivation rooms of the Azure Sky Divine Palace for now. The five supreme sects should already know about the changes in Azure Phoenix City and the invasion of the Dark Lightning Dust Mist. As long as they have time, they will send experts with enough power to Azure Phoenix City to deal with this matter. The formation of Azure Phoenix City isn't that easy to break. It should be able to hold on for a while. "
"En, let's stay here for now," Yu Yuan said.
In the next few days, he stayed in the cultivation room he rented in the Azure Sky Divine Palace and continued to cultivate the Great Yin Soul Art.
Occasionally, he would ask about the situation in the outside world.
He heard that the experts of the major sects who went deep into the Crimson Fire Desert and the younger generation who survived had all returned to Azure Phoenix City.
Outside, the Dark Lightning Dust Mist gradually spread and covered the sky outside the city.
The Dark Lightning Dust Mist was still slowly moving towards the other cities of the Azure Phoenix Empire.
Regardless of whether it was daytime or late at night, outside of Green Phoenix City, there would occasionally be sounds of bone-chilling ferocious strange howls.
There were also the cries for help of cultivators before they died.
It seemed that the people who came out of the Crimson Fire Desert were killed by the Sky Demons, Great Demons, and Earth Demons on the way to Azure Phoenix City.
Inside the city, everyone was in a panic. They didn't know when those demons would attack the city.
The Azure Sky Divine Palace built by the Chen family suddenly became the place where cultivators gathered the most in Azure Phoenix City. The young disciples and the elders of the various sects who were lucky enough to survive all gathered there.
Another morning, Yu Yuan, who was cultivating the Great Yin Soul Art, woke up after an unknown period of time.
After waking up, he was full of energy and his mind was clear. He once again looked into the small world in his mind.
"Eh!"
To his surprise, he discovered that after such a long period of suffering, his earthly soul was finally separated from his heavenly soul and main soul by the Great Yin Soul Spell!
The first step had been completed!
