Chapter 133: The final eye of the formation
Hearing Yu Cuizi’s words, my heart inexplicably panicked. Even I didn’t know what I was panicking about. After all, I had already arrived here, and sooner or later I would have to enter the main hall.
However, before I could recover, the open door suddenly produced an inexplicable suction force, and I watched helplessly as the unconscious Huigen was sucked into the hall!
Li Hao laughed wildly as he chased after him with a knife, and said in a drum-like voice, “Haha, very good, once I enter the hall, I can give it my all, and this little monk is dead.”
If I didn’t react at first, I was still numb. Li Hao’s words made my blood rush to my head. Wouldn’t Hui Gen be killed by Li Hao?
I almost subconsciously rushed towards the main hall, but was stopped by Chengqing: “Calm down, don’t forget the great formation.”
Yes, the great formation, the great formation! I turned my head and saw Hui Gen’er’s figure disappearing behind the great formation. My heart was sad and exploded. How to choose between righteousness and personal feelings? There is no choice at all!
“Huigen, wake up! You must hold on. Didn’t you say you were going to stand in front of me? You have to wake up.” I could only scream like this. If Huigen died because of this, I think I would go crazy. I would destroy everything here, even if I had to scatter my soul.
After I shouted this, Hui Gen’er’s figure had completely disappeared behind the gate. Li Hao suddenly stopped when he stepped into the gate, made a gesture of slashing his neck with a knife, and then laughed and entered the gate. This action made me almost bite my teeth, but unfortunately I had no way to do anything now.
Almost numb, I took a spirit bead from my hand. I had fought to this point just to get to the three key points here. I forgot everything, the environment I was in, and that Yucui was still standing in front of us, just holding the spirit bead and rushing towards the first key point not far away.
“Do you think you still have a chance to activate this great formation?” Yucuizi suddenly said, and her body moved, chasing after me.
Behind me, a huge suction force came from the palace!
My mind was numb, and I was worried that Huigen had already made me unable to think so much. Because of the suction, my steps were difficult, but I had only one thought in my heart: I had to complete it.
At this moment, a cold hand rested on my shoulder. The familiar feeling made me feel a chilling sensation from the depths of my soul.
But thinking of Huigen, the anger in my heart suddenly overwhelmed all my fear. I almost turned around without thinking, looked at that face, and only two words popped out of my teeth: “Get out of here!”
Yu Cuizi’s face changed, and the next moment she became furious. She probably didn’t expect that I, who was only a little stronger than an ant in her eyes, would dare to speak to her like that.
But, inexplicably, I did not feel any fear. I stared at Yucuizi with unbridled eyes, because at that moment, I did not know if I was overreacting out of anger, or if I had developed a strange illusion. I felt that in the distance, perhaps not far away, a force had been quietly activated by my emotions, as if a lake that had been blocked for a thousand years had finally been opened up, and streams of power were flowing towards me.
That power was so kind, and with its protection, I felt as if I was not afraid of anything.
“Cui Zi, come back. Don’t worry about him for now.” I looked at Cui Zi for less than a second, but in that time, Cui Zi had already extended her hand, and the sharp nails on her fingers glistened. It looked like she was about to strike, but for some reason, it was interrupted by that voice.
I was familiar with that voice because I had heard it many times before. It was the voice of the lord of the castle.
Yucui’s face showed confusion, but she still let go of my shoulder and floated away. I naturally didn’t think that the lord was helping me, but I couldn’t think of any reason for it to do so.
I continued to walk forward, wanting to feel the power more carefully, but for some reason I felt as if I had been confused for a moment, and I could no longer feel the power, but I felt that the suction around my body was even more powerful.
I sneered, “Huh? I never gave up, did I? I thought the Lord of the City would be generous enough to let me set up my formation, but it turned out that he had called Yu Cuizi to stop me in another way.
I can’t move forward at all. The suction force behind me has become so strong that I can’t resist it! Not to mention moving forward, it’s a laborious task just to stand here.
I looked back and saw that at this moment, Jueyuan, Chengyuan, and Chengxin had all been sucked into the gate. I saw that they didn’t resist at all. Maybe they were worried about Huigen just like me?
The only ones standing outside the gate and desperately resisting were Chengqing and Chengzhen. I even saw Chengqing summon the lazy turtle to block the gate and resist the suction!
You can’t underestimate the power of the lazy turtle. At least it is still firmly in front of the door, not moving an inch.
At that moment, I actually had the idea of giving up resistance. After all, I couldn’t see the situation of Huigen personally, and I was always worried, but I saw Chengzhen performing hand gestures, and the Shanhe flag emitted a dazzling light. Chengqing shouted at me, “Chengyi, Chengzhen is using a secret technique to give you two minutes. You must seize the time and not let your efforts go to waste.”
Compared to Chengqing, I was really too emotional. I was a little ashamed. At that moment, the flag of the mountains and rivers shone brightly, and a burst of power erupted, temporarily resisting the suction force from the gate. I felt my whole body relax.
But I saw Chengzhen spit out a mouthful of blood. Chengqing took Chengzhen and retracted the Erlan Turtle, then shouted at me, “Chengyi, hurry, now!”
Then, without the protection of the two lazy turtles, Chengqing and Chengzhen were also sucked into the gate.
It turned out that the power of the Mountain and River flag was only protecting me. After they were all sucked into the hall, a sense of loneliness from the depths of my heart instantly engulfed me. No, I can’t lose them!
The firm determination that came from the depths of my heart made my emotions no longer dark. I held the agil beads in my hand and began to run around the square!
The first key point, good, completed…
The second one, good, done!
I continued to run, heading for the third eye in the far corner. Time passed by minute by minute, and only I knew how precious those two minutes were. I didn’t know how long it had been since I started running, but I felt that the annoying suction was gradually reappearing, and it was beginning to affect my movements.
Closer, closer! The location of the third eye in my eyes was infinitely magnified, but the previously vague suction force had now become clear. My running became difficult, but I was still persisting…!
There are only two meters left… The suction force has returned to its most powerful state, and the three flags have risen from the ground, gradually shrinking and then flying towards me!
I reached out with all my might and grabbed the three flags, but was it all for nothing? No, it wasn’t!
At this last moment, I used almost all my strength to resist the suction, then jumped and fell to the ground. I reached out and placed the agarwood beads in the last center point…
At this point, the eighteen outer formations were finally completed!
I finally smiled as I held the flag in my hand, and the next moment, I let the suction take me and rushed madly into the main hall.
At that moment, I saw thirteen pillars of light rising from the inner city and spreading to the edge of the inner city, and then the hidden array suddenly appeared in the inner city.
The pillars of light pierced through the grayish-red sky, revealing the purple-red sky outside. The light from the outside sky shone into the inner city, and the buildings in the inner city slowly began to blur!
I heard the restless sounds of the ghosts in the inner city. I saw the patterns that had appeared slowly begin to emit dazzling golden light. The seemingly hard black stone paving of the inner city began to crack… The entire city began to shake.
Will there be any more changes? Eighteen array points should be enough to make this complex array work, even if I know it will only have a limited effect.
Unfortunately, I can no longer see. A bronze gate suddenly appeared before my eyes, and I was sucked into it. The next moment, I fell into endless darkness, and my consciousness began to become indistinct and irresistible.
