The people in Mianlu City looked at the scene outside the city. Although they were prepared, in just a short moment, the mighty army that seemed to be unparalleled in the world had been completely destroyed. This scene was indeed shocking to the mind.
Zhu Zonghu saw that the interior of the formation had turned blood-red. It was like a cloud of blood fog had enveloped the city. He could not see what was happening inside. He could not help but ask Zhang Yu, "Mister Tao, what's the situation inside the formation?"
Zhang Yu used his eye seal to observe. He could see most of the changes in the formation very clearly.
Now, Elder Lin had killed most of the army. However, the most powerful cultivators and some of the Creator Cultivators had gone into hiding. These people were the least in number. However, in terms of absolute strength, they made up at least 70% of the army's strength.
He said, "King Xi's royal boat is not damaged. However, it is being suppressed by the formation's power and is retreating. However, he still has many people protecting him. He still has the power to fight. If Elder Lin is careless, the outcome will be difficult to predict."
Yin Huanting said, "If Elder Lin kills King Xi, it will be more beneficial for us."
The discussion members at the side agreed. It would be best if Zhu Zonghu did not have to bear the reputation of killing King Xi. If he avoided this, it would be beneficial for Zhu Zonghu to take over the throne and King Xi's inheritance.
Yin Huanting said, "Zonghu, there's one more thing to pay attention to. It's the jade talisman that King Xi carries with him. Zonghu has the title of Zongzi. Once King Xi dies, you can rightfully take over his position. You will definitely be able to control this item."
Zhu Zonghu could not help but nod. He turned to Zhang Yu and said, "Mister Tao said before that if we allow Elder Lin to destroy my granduncle's army, he will be unable to control himself. We must foil his plans before that happens. However, I wonder when we should act?"
Zhang Yu looked at the spiritual light outside the royal boat and said, "King Xi also has capable people protecting him. Elder Lin will not succeed so easily. Let's wait a little longer."
At this moment, King Xi's royal boat had already merged with the rest of the Ring Hall. Their spiritual powers had formed a single entity, and they were resisting the pressure of the formation's power. Because there were still quite a few people left in the Ring Hall and the Royal Boat, they could still hold on for a while. However, the power of the formation outside seemed to be increasing bit by bit.
This was natural. Such a huge formation was controlled by Old Daoist Lin alone, and he still had to deal with many targets. The power he used at the beginning was actually limited, and it was not all of the formation's power. However, now that the targets had appeared in one place, he could calmly gather the formation's power from all corners and use it to deal with them.
As he operated the formation, the pressure on the royal boat grew stronger and stronger, causing the boat to be gradually slowed down by the formation's power and unable to move out easily.
However, Old Daoist Lin was also unable to control the power that was too delicate. This was because his cultivation level was not high enough, so he was unable to make more subtle changes. Moreover, he could not use many of the formation's principles that he knew, so he was unable to take down the royal boat and the rest of the Ring Hall.
Inside the royal boat, King Xi looked at the royal boat that was unable to move under the layers of surging formation qi. His expression was ugly as he said, "Master Wei, how long can the royal boat hold on?"
Daoist Wei said, "A few days should not be a problem. You were ambushed here. With such a huge commotion, the news should have spread. The reinforcements behind us should be arriving soon."
King Xi had left a reserve team behind. They were responsible for dealing with the border and providing reinforcements in times of emergency. This was not because he predicted that he would fail, but because it was a necessary arrangement for the Hao Clan's military formation. No matter who the commander was, they would make such arrangements.
This reserve team was not far from here. After receiving the news, they would arrive in two to three days at most.
King Xi said in a deep voice, "That Lin Youdang also knows about this. Won't he have a way to deal with it?"
Daoist Wei said, "He doesn't have enough magic power, so he can only control the formation's power. It's impossible for him to break through the royal boat in a few days. If this person wants your life, then he will definitely come personally. At that time, I will deal with this person, or perhaps find a way to find him. If I can kill him, then the formation will collapse on its own."
Then I'll leave it to you, Master, "King Xi said in a solemn tone.
Although no one would come to kill him, and the curse power on his body would quickly take his life, he wanted to see the result before he acted up.
Daoist Wei nodded. He raised his finger and made a hand seal. He released his magic power, and the spiritual light outside the royal boat became almost solid. The power that was suppressed by the formation's power showed signs of rising again.
At this moment, Old Daoist Lin was standing at the center of the formation. Following the release of the evil demon's divine ability, his appearance changed greatly. His hair turned dark red, black mist drifted around his body, and his eyes were filled with red light.
When he saw the royal boat suddenly release a bright light, the aura immediately reminded him of Daoist Wei, and his expression sank.
He quickly judged that with the current defensive power of the royal boat, if he wanted to break through it, he would need at least five or six days. However, in that case, there would undoubtedly be more variables. The longer he delayed, the smaller the possibility of killing King Xi.
There was a method at the moment, which was to break into the royal boat with the help of the formation's power, and then kill this person. However, Daoist Wei's strength made him extremely fearful, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Fortunately, he wasn't unprepared for this kind of situation.
If it was said that he wanted to kill King Xi to fulfill his obsession, then the soul and blood essence he obtained from the formation was precisely what he was going to use to increase his cultivation.
In the previous massacre, although he wasn't able to kill all of the upper echelons in one go, the blood essence and vitality he obtained were enough to refine great medicine. Coupled with the propulsion of the formation's power, he would be able to rely on this to pluck a higher level of Dao fruit. At that step, when a god appeared outside the world, even if the enemy destroyed his body, they would not be able to truly kill him.
Evil Demons' methods were simple and crude. As long as they could kill and sacrifice, they would be able to obtain the results they wanted. Right now, he was undoubtedly walking this path. Although there were many flaws and all kinds of side effects, the cultivation he obtained was real.
However, he didn't really care about this. After this, as long as he could kill King Xi, he would be able to eliminate most of the hidden dangers in his body. In the future, he would slowly find a way to resolve them.
With strength, was there anything he couldn't do?
At this moment, he stretched out his hand and countless blood-red lights gathered. Under the refinement of the formation's power, it only took an hour to refine a blood-red pill.
It could be seen that the outside of this pill was a dense blood-red color that couldn't be dissolved. However, in the core of the pill, there was a transparent golden light flickering. Within the golden light, there was a wisp of black smoke that was like a thin snake twisting and struggling.
He pointed at the pill with his finger, and the pill immediately turned into a wisp of golden-red Qi that floated into his body from between his eyebrows. Suddenly, a refreshing feeling penetrated deep into his bones, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
But then, he felt as if he was drinking sweet dew, and the aura on his body gradually rose.
The Direction Shifting Jade Amulet floated to the side and cooperated with the formation's power. Not only did it push him up, but it also regulated his path of dao.
At this moment, many of the difficult Dao techniques that he didn't understand when he was studying the ancestral master's portrait flowed through his mind one by one, and he quickly understood them. His entire body was gradually enveloped by a ball of thick mist.
He had been waiting for this moment for hundreds of years.
Because the secrets of the heavens and the earth were different, it caused many people who came later to possess dao techniques but were unable to take a step further. However, within the grand formation, it imitated the heavens and the earth before the secrets of the heavens and the earth changed, causing the process of him plucking the dao to be many times smoother.
Another four hours passed, and the mist around him slowly dispersed. It could be seen that he had recovered his previous appearance. Not only did he look slightly younger than before, he even had the bearing of an immortal.
He'd used evil methods to pluck the dao, but evil methods changed according to one's nature. As far as he was concerned, if others were hostile and vigilant upon seeing him, then it would definitely be much more difficult to scheme against others. It was better to have a good appearance that would make others feel close to him. Moreover, he felt that he would return to the righteous path sooner or later.
Even though his cultivation had improved greatly now, he was still unwilling to face Daoist Wei head-on. So, he stretched out his finger and drew out a strand of vital energy and blood essence, and he transformed it into a temporary body. Then, his Soul Core emerged from his body and resided within it, allowing him to refine a clone that could utilize most of his strength.
With a wave of his sleeve, the clone turned into a streak of light and flew out. In an instant, it arrived in front of the royal boat. However, it didn't directly go to the royal boat. Instead, with the help of the formation's power, it first attacked the large circular hall.
There might be some kind of arrangement within the royal boat. Moreover, what made him wary was that the greatest power in King Xi's hands were the various mystical creatures that existed in the world. However, up until now, he hadn't seen a single one of them. In particular, among the upper echelons that he had just killed, there were no such creatures at all.
Could it be that he didn't bring them?
He felt that this was somewhat inconceivable. These creatures were King Xi's greatest reliance and were closely related to his life. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to not bring them with him.
Or was there some other arrangement?
It was also because of this that he decided to use the method of cutting off the branches and leaves first. If King Xi watched as the upper echelons in the circular hall were refined one by one, it could be considered a good thing. Every time he destroyed a circular hall, he would kill the people inside and absorb their blood essence. Then, the formation's power and his own body would become stronger. If he could eliminate all of them, then he would have enough confidence to kill his way into the royal boat.
The spiritual power of the royal boat was merging with the circular hall. Dao Protector immediately sensed Old Daoist Lin's attack. He said, "King Xi, this person is trying to kill. If we don't stop him, after he kills everyone and refines their blood essence, he will borrow the power of the formation. Even if I can block him, I won't be able to protect the others."
King Xi frowned and said, "Master Wei wants to go out and help?"
Dao Protector said indifferently, "No need. His origin spirit is enough." As soon as he finished speaking, his origin spirit escaped from his body. In a flash, it disappeared from the hall. In the next moment, it appeared in one of the circular halls.
