Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai landed behind a boulder and concealed their auras.
"Origin Restoring Pill." Yu Shangrong tossed a pill to Yu Zhenghai. Both of them consumed it at the same time.
The Origin Restoring Pill was an ordinary pill that Si Wuya had asked the lunatics of the Sky Research Court to come up with. It only had one effect; it could conceal one's aura and conceal one's Great Void aura. After taking it, the two of them became like the plants in the ruins, without any signs of life. They were completely covered by the Energy-restoring Pill.
On the formation passageway, the three great cultivators wielding long halberds looked left and right.
They stood in a triangular formation.
The one standing in front was the captain of the Insignia Guard.
He looked around and carefully examined the dark and damp environment. After a long time, he said, "A Birth Chart Beast is missing."
"This subordinate will go and investigate."
One of the Black Insignia Guards flew toward the place where Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong fought.
He brought the Birth Chart Heart out and glanced at it.
To throw or not to throw?
Yu Zhenghai looked at the Birth Chart Heart as well.
Suddenly, he felt that this thing was a little hot.
Although they were very confident and powerful, they were not stupid enough to fight the Indomitable Black Guards head-on.
Yu Shangrong did not toss the Birth Chart Heart away. Instead, he kept it in his pocket.
Yu Zhenghai nodded.
…
Not long after.
The Onyx Insignia Guard returned.
"Captain, I've already investigated. That Fate Chart Beast has already been killed, along with ten low-grade outsider cultivators. "
The Hei Wu Guard captain raised his head and looked at the sky.
Although the sky was dark, the basic time could still be determined. The sun was blocked by the dark clouds and was leaning slightly to the west.
"It hasn't been long since the Stone Forest Formation appeared. The person who killed the Birth Chart Beast shouldn't have gone too far," the captain of the Blackwatch Guards said.
"If he was an expert, he would have left long ago …"
The captain did not say anything.
"Captain, should we investigate?"
"There's no need. It was very difficult for the red lotus to continue monopolizing the Birth Chart Beast. Don't forget, Lord Wu Guangping is already dead. "
The other two nodded.
The Hei Wu guard captain walked towards the stone forest.
They did not return to the rune passage, but entered the stone forest formation.
Yu Shangrong turned slightly to the side and saw where the three of them were through a crack in the rock. He was puzzled. The Birth Chart Beast was already dead, so why were they still staying in the stone forest array?
The Dark Insignia Guards stood in different positions within the stone forest.
He thrust the halberd in his hand into the ground.
The Dao pattern region lit up.
All the stone pillars buzzed in response.
…
In the land of Zhaonan, the originally lush forest was constantly rained all year round. At the end of the gray ruins, a blurry, mountain-like figure rapidly approached.
Tap tap … tap tap tap … tap tap tap …
The sound was like raindrops pattering on the eaves. With his rich experience in battle, he could tell that these were footsteps on the ground. These footsteps were much faster than a horse's. They were sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes fast, and sometimes slow.
Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai looked at the end of the gray ruins.
The shadow became clearer and clearer.
From afar, they didn't think much of it. However, when they got closer, the two of them frowned.
The shadow was dozens of feet tall, and its eyes shone with a dim light.
"What's this?" Yu Shangrong projected his voice.
Yu Zhenghai said solemnly, "This beast is 700 to 800 feet long and 300 feet tall. Its fur is lush, and its eyes are like the bright moon. It's very similar to a wild cat, and its vitality is unusually strong. It's at least a middle-grade Birth Chart Beast."
"So … What kind of Birth Chart Beast is it?" Yu Shangrong asked.
"I don't know," Yu Zhenghai replied.
"…"
"If you were here, wise brother, you'd recognize it."
When the Birth Chart Beast passed through the ruins and arrived at the edge of the stone forest, the three Dark Insignia Guards hovered in the air.
The captain of the Dark Insignia Guards looked at the huge Birth Chart Beast that resembled a wild cat and nodded in satisfaction. "We're in luck. This beast's name is Liang Qu, and it's an extremely rare middle-grade Birth Chart Beast. Everyone, stay alert. Get into formation and try to take it down as soon as possible. "
"Understood."
The remaining two Dark Insignia Guards planted the Formation flags in their hands.
When the Formation flags landed, the buzzing from the stone forest Formation grew louder. The Eight Desolation Six Direction Flag grew 1,000 feet tall.
This was the last Formation flag of the Eight Desolation Six Direction Flag.
It was only a single Formation flag, but it crackled loudly.
Liang Qu's eyes gleamed coldly. It seemed to have sensed danger and immediately turned tail and ran.
"Filthy animal, trying to run?"
Hundreds of black tentacles grew out of the 361 stone forest pillars.
Swoosh!
It was flung out.
The hundreds of tentacles bound the wild cat's limbs.
Liang Qu roared.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! It began to rampage on the ground.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong looked at Liang Qu rambling on the ground in shock. Liang Qu was too fast. From their perspective, Liang Qu looked like a shadow that was moving back and forth like a gale.
"This speed … I'm afraid it's on par with master," Yu Shangrong said in shock.
"Indeed."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Eight Desolation Six Direction Formation Flags in the air shot out energy swords toward Liang Qu. Bam!
Bam! Bam!
Bam! Bam!
Dozens of energy swords struck Liang Qu's body and vanished.
Liang Qu grew even more frenzied. The energy swords left clear marks on its body, and some of its fur fell off.
This enraged it.
It no longer retreated. Instead, it turned around and lunged at the three Dark Insignia Guards.
Swoosh!
It leaped into the air.
However, when it was less than 50 meters in midair, hundreds of black tentacles pulled it down.
Boom!
It crashed heavily on the ground.
He did not expect the stone forest Formation to be so powerful.
When Yu Shangrong first broke the Formation, he thought it was slightly complicated. Now that he looked at it again, he felt like he had underestimated it.
The captain of the Dark Insignia Guards said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
"Let's go."
The three of them flanked Liang Qu.
They tossed the black halberd in their hands. With the help of the Eight Desolation Six Direction Flag, the three of them began to deal tons of damage.
Although Liang Qu's speed was shocking and he was powerful, he could only let the three Dark Insignia Guards beat him up now that he had lost his limbs.
He dodged left and right as much as he could.
Unfortunately, the Dark Insignia Guards' attacks were all area-of-effect attacks.
The process of killing Liang Qu was extremely boring. Lu Zhou retracted his power to conserve his Profound Nether Power. Then, he activated the Purple Glazed Ceramic to recover his Profound Nether Power.
Just like that, the three of them attacked for more than two hours.
Liang Qu gradually weakened. His body was covered in wounds.
"Captain, it's dying."
The three of them were overjoyed.
The captain of the Dark Insignia Guards nodded in satisfaction and said, "Keep it up, of course."
"Understood."
The captain of the Dark Insignia Guards retreated and looked at the Eight Desolation Six Direction Flag.
His two subordinates continued to attack Liang Qu. They seemed to have channeled all their Primal Qi into Liang Qu.
Another half an hour passed.
Liang Qu wailed and fell to the ground.
"Captain … It's dead!"
At this moment.
The captain of the Dark Insignia Guards said, "Well done."
"That's what we should do. How many rewards will we get from the council of elders?" The two Dark Insignia Guards were excited.
"Brother … The internal strife in the black tower is too severe. Even if we hand it over, we'll only get some high-grade pills or weapons at most. However, the pills and weapons will still be used to capture Birth Chart Beasts. It's a vicious cycle, "the captain of the Dark Insignia Guards said.
"Captain, what do you mean?"
"If the black tower likes to fight, let them fight. This Birth Chart Heart suits me very well. What do you think? "
The meaning behind his words was clear.
He wanted to take it for himself.
"This …" The two of them were shocked.
"Captain, the consequences of defying the black tower's will are severe."
The captain of the Dark Insignia Guards said, "After obtaining this Birth Chart Heart, I'll have the strength of a Five Birth Chart Cultivator. As long as you're willing, I'll guarantee that you'll have a good life and anything you want. You won't have to go back to the black tower to be bullied by them anymore. "
The two subordinates had ugly expressions on their faces.
Ever since they entered the black tower, all the black tower members had been bound by a series of rules and promises.
In order to prevent betrayal, the black tower had set up a trial team led by four presiding judges. The punishment for betrayal wasn't severe. The cultivations of the four Judges were all above eight Birth Charts.
In history, all members who betrayed the black tower had been sentenced to death by the trial team.
"Brothers, are you still hesitating?" the captain of the Dark Insignia Guards asked.
"No … If the judges come looking for us, the consequences … will be severe."
"Fortune comes from danger. I'll only ask you once. It's up to you whether you agree or not."
The captain of the Dark Insignia Guards swooped down and took out Liang Qu's Birth Chart Heart.
The other two were stunned …
Without the Birth Chart Heart, how would they report back?
The two of them shook their heads.
Thinking of the situation in the black tower, they could only nod. "That's the only way."
"Good brother!" The captain of the Dark Insignia Guards was overjoyed.
As soon as the three of them finished speaking …
The captain of the Dark Insignia Guards said in a deep voice, "Come out. Since you're here, why hide?"
