Not far from Leiyin, there was a small hill. It had been hollowed out, and all kinds of runes were engraved on the walls.
At the bottom of the pit, boiling blood was constantly making slight noises, making the entire space seem like a world of blood. In the middle of the pit, there was an independent ordinary stone platform, on which a few people were looking at the scene in front of them in confusion.
There was a stone pillar on the stone platform, and a red crystal ball was floating on it. However, the surface was only light red, and there was a little bit of red liquid inside, rippling slightly.
"It's been a few days, why is there still no movement? There are only a few casualties, and many people died in the beginning, but now there's almost no movement."
A Shura said anxiously as he looked at the crystal ball that hadn't reacted for a long time.
This was completely different from what they had expected, and they had paid a huge price. Now, they were relying on them to maintain the operation of the formation, and it was very exhausting.
"Don't worry, it's only been a while, and the other side won't give up on this opportunity. It's just that the other side's defense is tight, and it's not our chance yet." Young Master Feng wasn't as anxious as them. Although he couldn't see the situation on the battlefield, he knew that the two sides couldn't start fighting so quickly.
"I'm just worried that if the other side stays in a stalemate for a few years, we won't be able to hold on," another Shura said worriedly.
"A few years? You're thinking too much. I bet it'll be half a month at most. That's when we'll have a big harvest. Why don't we rest now, and once the crystal ball is full, that's when we can't afford to make any mistakes. "Young Master Feng looked at him and said lazily.
He understood his confidant's thoughts, but they couldn't control the other side's actions, and the only thing they could do was wait patiently.
No matter how the other side's battle was, once the crystal ball was full, they had to use its power to forcefully bring the other side over. The crystal ball itself was very fragile, and once it was overcharged, it could explode.
However, they didn't have anything to do, so they just stood there and watched. However, looking at the crystal ball that hadn't moved, they were also anxious.
"Wait a little longer, it's only been ten days, and the other side is probably still probing. It'll be done soon." Young Master Feng looked at the water planet in front of him and said to them again.
.....
"Looks like we'll be able to pass through safely this time. This Luo Gong is still somewhat useful."
Madam Xue walked over to Gu Zheng and Pan Xuan's side from Thunderclap City and happily spoke.
She hadn't had a good rest these days. What little time she had, she had to take care of her child. She looked a lot more haggard, but after a simple rest, she was still lively and energetic to deal with some things.
"You should rest more. Don't ask about everything," Pan Xuan said to her.
"They're all extravagant and don't know how to deal with certain matters. It's better if I do it." Madam Xue didn't take it seriously.
"Just be careful. The situation looks a lot better now," Pan Xuan continued.
"That's for sure. Haven't you noticed that everyone's worries have lessened? It's impossible for the other party to make us compromise by exhausting our energy. Now that we have complete control over Thunder City, the other party can forget about coming in unhindered like last time. We will make them pay a heavy price."
"Of course, what makes us the happiest is that we've already forced out those people hiding inside. Now we're the only ones left in Thunder City. There are no more enemies."
"Luo Gong didn't lie. We can see that the other party is remorseful. However, we still can't let our guard down."
Madam Xue explained to them.
During this period of time, all of them seemed to be rather busy. Only Gu Zheng and Pan Xuan seemed to be an outsider, standing there and watching them busying themselves.
The two of them used the blurry images in the sky to pass the time. Although they weren't very clear, they could still see some things.
It seemed that the attack methods they had obtained from Luo Kong were somewhat useful. At least the other party had retreated quite a bit. Sometimes, they could see that an area was suddenly missing a piece. However, once it was used, the City Lords who came out would immediately rest at the side. It seemed that they had expended a lot of energy.
Even so, they could feel the relaxed atmosphere in the sky. Everything seemed to be taking a turn for the better.
"That's even better. If the other party doesn't see any progress, they'll quickly retreat." Gu Zheng said.
"Speaking of which, I still have to thank you. If we hadn't been prepared beforehand, the other party's plan would have been perfect. Only a few people would have been able to escape. Everyone else would have died here." Madam Xue said gratefully.
This wasn't only his idea, but also everyone else in Soul Alliance. In the past ten days, everyone else more or less had things to do. On the other hand, the two of them didn't seem to be any different from resting. Everyone was rather grateful to them, and didn't ask them to do anything.
"This is what we should do. However, what's that red dot?" Pan Xuan laughed and pointed at the image.
At this moment, in the surveillance image outside, an abnormally obvious red dot appeared. Even if they didn't know what it was, when they saw it, they would have a bad feeling.
"I don't know. Perhaps it's a new technique. I'll go inform the others."
Madam Xue's expression was serious. The moment she finished speaking, the red dot was already rapidly flying over. The entire Thunder Sound City suddenly trembled and began to violently shake.
"What's going on?" The other city lords all gathered over.
"Come quickly. The other party is using a treasure. At least six people, no, eight people are needed!" City Lord Ming anxiously yelled from inside. Even his voice was a bit sharp due to his anxiety.
The others could still rest. Only he was in a state of preparation. When he was tired, he would also rest inside. However, the other city lords would help him from the side.
The others felt the tremors getting stronger. Eight people quickly went up, which was more than half of them.
However, although the tremors were decreasing, they didn't stop. It could be seen how powerful the other party's attack was.
"Madam Xue, don't worry. This is probably their strongest attack. If we can endure it, they'll probably retreat." Pan Xuan comforted her.
However, in reality, Gu Zheng was already certain that the other party had used their trump card. In their previous discussion, if the other party knew that Thunder Sound City's defense was getting stronger and stronger and didn't retreat or attack forcefully, they definitely had a backup plan. Once it was used, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I know. I'll go ahead and take a look." Madam Xue nodded. Although she said she wasn't in a hurry, her face was filled with real thoughts. She sped up and walked to the back.
Gu Zheng and the others followed behind, wanting to see if they could help.
When they arrived, they could see the room. The city lords were all squeezed inside, occupying almost all the charging points.
"What's going on? Can we stop it? "Madam Xue went forward and asked City Lord Liu.
"That thing is very likely a gift from Wen Tianhou to his subordinates. It has a portion of his power. Right now, we can still hold on for a while. However, under normal circumstances, even if we can stop it, we'll all be drained. If the other party tries to destroy it from the outside, we can't do anything." City Lord Liu said solemnly.
"It's that serious? Is there no other way? "Madam Xue gasped. She didn't expect the other party's trump card to be so powerful.
"Sometimes there is. Previously, Luo Gong provided a method to temporarily draw the power of subordinates. It's for emergency situations like this. At most, two thousand people will be enough." City Lord Liu said.
"Then why don't we hurry? They just need to rest for a while to replenish. We have so many people. We can hold on," Madam Xue said quickly.
"I've already sent people."
City Lord Liu's words made Madam Xue sigh in relief. At least the situation hadn't reached the worst yet.
"But you have so many powerful subordinates with their power drawn. If something happens, you won't even have people left." Gu Zheng couldn't help but say.
"We've also thought about this problem. In the previous experiment, we didn't find any flaws. Luo Gong didn't hide anything. Moreover, we'll start with the weakest and take a third or even a quarter of each value. It won't affect the battle power, so we'll just rotate. We have nearly thirty thousand people now. According to this, we only need half of them. The only drawback is that it'll consume more power."
City Lord Liu didn't hide anything and directly told them their plan. It sounded very reliable.
"Good. If you need any help, just let us know. We'll be right here." Gu Zheng nodded and said.
Then, he glanced at Luo Gong, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. No one knew what he was thinking. In any case, his cultivation was sealed, so no one asked him.
"Okay. If you need us, we won't hesitate. I need to arrange some things. I'll take my leave first." City Lord Liu didn't stand on ceremony this time. After all, they would be a help at a critical moment.
"I keep feeling that something's wrong."
Seeing City Lord Liu leave, Madam Xue walked to the side and asked City Lord Ming something. Pan Xuan said to Gu Zheng.
"Actually, I also feel that something's wrong. But you heard it too. This arrangement is already the best plan. Even if it were us, we wouldn't be able to do it perfectly." Gu Zheng also had a feeling. He felt that the other party had been holding back for so long and suddenly took out this thing. There must be an unspeakable conspiracy.
However, it seemed that there was no other way. Just like in the beginning, if they didn't do it, they would be defeated by the thing Wen Tianhou gave them.
The two of them decided to just wait and see what would happen next.
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed. The originally nervous crowd relaxed. The two City Lords came out first. When Gu Zheng asked about the situation, they smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong.
"Everything is fine now. When the energy extracted later on is sufficient, only one of them will be left behind."
Their tone was very relaxed. In their opinion, this crisis had passed.
"Maybe it's just our imagination."
Seeing this scene, Pan Xuan and Gu Zheng looked at each other and said, "That's right.
"As expected of a defensive fortress left behind. But are you ready now?"
Zhu Hun, who was outside, looked at the ball of red light that was constantly releasing red lightning bolts in the sky above Thunder Sound City. Every bolt of lightning that fell would leave a deep dent in the opponent's defense. It was as if the lightning was about to pierce through the defense.
However, after the defensive measures were taken, the red lightning was no longer as frightening as before. Although it could still leave grooves and the surface was still flowing with snake-like red lightning, it was clear that the attacks from above could no longer do anything to below.
However, outside, not a single demon soul was disappointed because Zhu Hun had already told everyone to prepare for a fight.
"After this fight, there will be no more Soul Alliance!"
Zhu Hun looked in front and said coldly.
He then extended his right hand and slowly pressed down.
"Kacha"
A loud lightning sound suddenly rang out in the air, almost deafening. The red light in the air followed Zhu Hun's gesture and slowly fell down. It seemed to be the light's final attack.
Boundless pressure fell down. The only silver light in the surroundings disappeared. It was as if the entire world had sunk into darkness. The only thing left was the red light in the air and the extremely bright barrier below.
Even without the threat of the lightning, the entire shield was almost exposed at this time, resisting the pressure from above. The red ball of light also encountered an invisible force, and stopped falling above the shield.
"That's enough!"
Zhu Hun looked at the sky and nodded. The next moment, the ball of red light scattered in all directions, forming an even larger red screen. It was as if a giant red bowl had been placed upside down above Thunder Sound City.
It didn't seem to be protecting the other party, but rather preventing something from charging out.
At this moment, just as the situation below became chaotic again, Luo Gong revealed a dangerous smile and began to transform into black lines in the air.
"Stop right there, or I'll kill you."
Pan Xuan instantly noticed the abnormality over there and immediately warned in a stern voice.
"Wasn't his cultivation sealed? How can he still use magic?" City Lord Xing, who happened to pass by, saw the other party's actions and yelled out.
It had to be known that the condition of the other party's body had been checked by everyone, and every two hours, they would be checked again. However, the other party was still releasing the magic power in his body.
"That's the power that someone left in his body. Kill him!" Gu Zheng was also stunned. However, when he realized that there were no magic fluctuations in the other party's body, he instantly understood.
Gu Zheng was only halfway through his words when Pan Xuan threw a red light beam at the other party. Although it was simple, it was extremely powerful.
However, a red shield appeared from the other party's body and surrounded him. When Pan Xuan's attack landed on the shield, it caused a palm-sized ripple and dissipated in the air.
"How is this possible!" Pan Xuan looked in front of her. She didn't expect her attack to be so weak.
"That's Wen Tianhou's power. You can't break it." Gu Zheng stopped Pan Xuan from continuing her attack.
Even if this power was not strong in order to hide itself, it was still an insurmountable barrier to them. Even if everyone present attacked together, they probably wouldn't be able to break it.
"You bunch of people, do you really think that I'm surrendering? Those defensive formations are fine by themselves, but after I control them, they become the self-destruct function of Thunder Sound City. Haha!"
"And the power that you guys injected was more than enough to destroy everything."
As the last stroke was completed, Luo Gong did something and the runes in the air disappeared into the void. However, he started laughing maniacally.
"You're dead. No one can save you!"
Cheng Yu shouted at Luo Gong angrily. No wonder the other party didn't do anything. However, in order to defend themselves, they had walked step by step without anyone noticing.
However, they couldn't be blamed. After all, these things were only passed down by the Alliance Master through word of mouth.
Now that everyone knew what the other party was doing, it was too late to stop them.
"Sh * t. The entire fortress is out of control. All the energy is gathering. It seems like it's going to explode outwards for the last time."
City Lord Ming rushed out from inside and shouted to everyone.
This was the self-destruct sequence of Thunder Echo City, and they had done every step correctly. Even the last step, where they had injected a huge amount of energy, had been forced by the outside world to follow a specific spirit design. All of this seemed fine to them, but to the spirit design that had been set aside, this meant that they had abandoned it.
Thunder Sound City would use this last bit of energy to open up a way for them to escape. This was also the initial design.
"Is there no other way?" Ruo Chen asked City Master Ming. He was still unwilling to give up and continued to attack Luo Gong.
"No, the self-destruct function has been activated. The only fortunate thing is that these attacks won't hurt us. However, the unfortunate thing is that we will only be left with the ruins to protect us." City Master Ming said directly.
"What are you waiting for? Go and gather everyone." City Master Liu thought of something and shouted to the surroundings.
A few City Masters rushed out immediately. They had to grab the energy that was drifting outside to prepare for the final battle.
"The subordinates outside!" Ruo Chen shouted when he thought of the subordinates in the residence.
"How much time do we have?" City Master Liu asked City Master Ming.
"Only 10 minutes." City Master Ming's face darkened as he replied.
Everyone fell silent. This amount of time was barely enough for them to gather their subordinates. However, it was too far away. This amount of time was only enough to inform the other side.
"I'll go. I'll be responsible for bringing them back!" City Master Xing stood out and said to the crowd. Without waiting for their agreement, he flew out. Most of the people there were his subordinates.
Because it was peaceful during this period, many people had retreated. However, there were still 3,000 people there.
"Sh * t, my child!" Madam Xue thought of something and her face turned pale.
"I'll go. Don't worry, Madam Xue. Leave everything to me."
Madam Xue's child was in another direction. There was a suitable place to rest. That was the temporary resting place of the City Master. Her child was there too.
"Zhu Hun! Since you're here, don't leave! "
Gu Zheng clenched his fists and stared at Zhu Hun.
