Old Daoist Lin's head fell to the ground and rolled twice on the stairs. There was still a smile on his face.
Zhang Yu's sword was as fast as light and completely surpassed his perception. Therefore, he didn't even have time to react. With one strike, his vitality was severed and his primordial spirit was destroyed.
Zhang Yu looked up and saw that the red mist was still hovering in the royal boat.
After a Daoist cultivator was killed, he wouldn't be completely destroyed. There was still a trace of his divine aura elsewhere. If this trace of divine aura wasn't eliminated, it could still come back.
However, Old Daoist Lin used the formation to achieve his success. He used a trick and placed his divine aura in the formation. Although this wasn't as stable as placing it in the void, it could easily take dozens of years to return in the void. However, if he placed it in the formation, as long as there was still blood, Qi, and essence in the formation, it wouldn't take too long to return. This should be the preparation that he made to not lose control of himself in this battle.
However, he killed his body with one strike. Based on this contact, he was almost able to find where the person's divine aura was placed.
He cast his gaze outside and focused on the formation. A ray of divine light appeared in his eyes. In an instant, he saw a ray of divine aura land on a certain formation.
At this moment, he could see that the essence, blood, and essence in the formation was gathering there and trying to condense a body.
Although the body wasn't formed, it was already in the formation. Therefore, the formation didn't stop because of this. It was already operating there and only the formation doors were locked.
After Old Daoist Lin saw that Zhang Yu was fighting against Daoist Wei, he saw that even Daoist Wei couldn't defeat Zhang Yu. Ordinary methods wouldn't be able to do anything to him. However, after he plundered all of Daoist Wei's essence, blood, and essence, he quickly used a sacrificial technique. This allowed him to completely control the formation for a short period of time.
It should be known that the power of the great array was enormous, and it was enough to deal with all of King Xi's men. However, due to the limitations of his own abilities, he couldn't unleash all of its power. However, once he could fully control the power of the array, he wouldn't need any help. He would be able to annihilate King Xi's group on his own.
As long as he could kill Zhang Yu, seize his blood essence, and use the formation to kill all the living beings in the Mian Lu City, not only would he be able to obtain another blood medicine, but he would also be able to make up for his losses.
Zhang Yu looked at the place where the Qi was. He stood still, but a sword-wielding shadow that looked like it was condensed from light flames floated out of his body. It easily opened a path that looked like it was made of starlight, and went straight to that place.
At the same time, the people in the Mianlu City saw the surrounding formation qi abruptly being released, taking the initiative to collide with the large formation surrounding them.
For some reason, Old Daoist Lin had caused the formation qi of the two large formations to connect with each other. Now, with this collision, the formation qi successfully collided with the formation qi.
It was still manageable if the formation qi clashed with each other. After all, his large formation was stronger than the Mian Lu Formation. If he was in charge of the formation, he would be able to resist it with just a little control.
However, at this moment, his body was condensing, and the formation qi was fully focused on Zhang Yu. It was precisely the moment when he couldn't be distracted. The Mian Lu Formation was pushed by Zhang Yu's doppelganger to a very violent extent. This caused the entire large formation to pause for a moment under the collision.
And it was at this moment that everything around seemed to have frozen. The sword-wielding shadow stepped on a dazzling starlight and went straight into the depths of the formation.
Old Daoist Lin didn't expect that his greatest reliance would be so easily stripped away by Zhang Yu from the confrontation between the two sides. It didn't have any effect at all.
At this moment, he could only watch as the brilliant figure approached him. Then, the figure calmly swung his sword at him, and a sharp light pierced through his body.
Old Daoist Lin stood rooted to the ground in a daze. He only lasted for a while before his illusory body shook a few times and exploded into a cloud of crimson light and blood mist. The wisp of divine aura flickered and completely dissipated.
When it collapsed, a ray of spiritual light shot out from where it originally was and escaped to the outside of the formation.
Zhang Yu glanced at it, and with a single thought, the spiritual light was trapped in place, unable to break free no matter how hard it tried. He waved his hand again, and the item flew into his hand. When the light faded away, he could see that it was a jade tablet.
There was a rumbling sound around this item. His eyes flashed. If he wasn't wrong, this should be the storage item for the main formation. He thought about it and put away the jade board. He looked at Wang Zhou again. In the end, Old Daoist Lin didn't have time to destroy this item. He would leave it here for now and deal with it later.
He waved his sleeve and a ray of light landed in the main hall of Mianlu City. Then, he walked out from the inside.
Daoist Wang took a step forward and stood in front of Zhu Zonghu. He looked at Zhu Zonghu with a vigilant gaze. The Creator cultivators were the same. Because they couldn't see what happened inside the formation, they couldn't be sure if this person was Mister Tao or not.
Yin Huanting said, "Zonghu, it is Mister Tao. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to enter the formation."
Zhu Zonghu took the initiative to walk out from the crowd. He looked at Zhang Yu and asked with concern, "It's good that Mister Tao has returned safely. How is the situation inside the formation? "
Zhang Yu said, "The invading army has been completely annihilated. Only one person escaped."
Daoist Wang suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, "The person who escaped … could it be King Xi?"
Zhu Zonghu couldn't help but look over. Everyone else also paid attention. King Xi was an extremely important figure. Not only was his life and death inextricably linked to Mianlu City, but it wasn't an exaggeration to say that he could affect the future of the entire continent and even billions of lives.
Zhang Yu said, "King Xi has been killed by Elder Lin, but I think his soul has been entrusted to another body." King Xi could hide it from others, but he couldn't hide it from him. At that time, only a wisp of his spirituality was entrusted to his body, but his soul had been transferred away.
Daoist Wang's expression tensed up. "So King Xi hasn't died?"
Zhang Yu said, "King Xi isn't like cultivators who have refined their primordial spirit, nor is he like those Creator cultivators who can condense their spirituality. His body has indeed been destroyed, but that doesn't mean he can't reincarnate in another body."
Zhu Zonghu lowered his head. He seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't want to mention it here. He said, "We can talk about this later. Mister Tao, what is Elder Lin's plan? What about the great formation outside? "
Zhang Yu lightly said, "Elder Lin tried to plot against me, but I've already killed him. The great formation outside is now ownerless. It might be able to protect my Mianlu City when it comes down."
"Oh?"
Zhu Zonghu's eyes lit up. He thought for a moment and said to everyone around him, "Everyone has been guarding this place for many days. It's been hard on you. Mister Yin, Mister Tao, please wait for a moment. The rest of you can go back and rest."
Everyone knew that he was going to talk about some secret matters, so they all bowed to him and retreated.
After everyone left, Zhu Zonghu invited Zhang Yu and Yin Huanting to sit down. He also had someone serve them fragrant tea. Then, he asked, "Has Mister Tao seen the jade talisman of the All Spirits Institute?"
Zhang Yu said, "The jade talisman isn't on King Xi, and there's nothing on King Xi either. He should have made arrangements long ago. However, one of the Creator cultivators left."
Zhu Zonghu thought for a moment and said, "My granduncle has an exceptionally trusted Creator cultivator by his side. I don't know his name, but I think it should be this person."
Yin Huanting pondered for a moment and said, "It seems like it's just as Mister Tao said. King Xi has made arrangements long ago."
Zhang Yu said, "King Xi's body has been infected with a curse. If there's no way to remove it, then he must have made some preparations in advance."
Zhu Zonghu took a deep breath and said, "I once heard from the elders in the clan that the upper echelons of the clan have a body-changing technique. It's used to help the clan members be reborn after they've been seriously injured or have reached the end of their lifespan. However, this technique hasn't been perfected yet. I don't know if my granduncle used this method."
Yin Huanting said, "Although I don't know what kind of curse King Xi is under, I don't think that such a high-level curse can be avoided just by changing bodies, right?"
Zhang Yu said, "That depends on what kind of body it is. If there's enough strength, then the curse's influence can be weakened. If the body-changing technique is perfected enough, then he can change bodies when he can't hold on anymore."
Daoist Wang said, "It's a pity that King Xi's army was defeated. If King Xi had also died, Zonghu might have been able to take advantage of this opportunity to win over the people's hearts."
Zhu Zonghu thought for a moment and then shook his head. Right now, he wasn't prepared to face the elders and Lie King directly, unless the All Spirits House was really in his hands.
Zhang Yu said at this time, "Actually, there might be a chance to kill King Xi right now."
Everyone couldn't help but look over. Daoist Wang said, "What does Mister Tao mean?"
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "Although that Creator left, I left an item on him. If King Xi really instructed him to do something, then he might be able to lead us to King Xi's whereabouts."
A Creator didn't go to protect King Xi and instead suddenly left. From the looks of it, he was under King Xi's care. There was definitely something unusual about this place. Thus, when Daoist Wang took advantage of the time when the Purple Cloud Gravel filled the royal boat, he left a Purple Cloud Gravel on it.
If they didn't find anything in the end, then it didn't matter. However, if they could really come into contact with King Xi after he changed bodies, then there would be many things they could do.
Daoist Wang's spirits rose when he heard this, but after thinking about it for a moment, he calmed down again. He frowned and said, "King Xi has always been suspicious. I'm afraid we still won't be able to find anything."
Zhu Zonghu thought for a moment and also said, "According to my understanding of this Granduncle, he won't completely trust someone. Instead, there will always be a limit to his trust."
Zhang Yu said at this time, "That might not be the case."
Zhu Zonghu couldn't help but look over. He leaned forward a bit and said, "Mister Tao, what do you think?"
Zhang Yu said, "Changing bodies and being reborn is an extremely important matter. Naturally, it has to be left to the most trusted person to watch over it. If that Creator wasn't here, then it would most likely be left to Daoist Wei. However, Daoist Wei is dead, so it's very likely that this matter will be left to the Creator. Whether it is or not, we can continue waiting. I believe it won't be long before we find out."
