The moment the dust and dust dissipated, fluctuations appeared around the area where the acid and beasts were originally hovering. A golden light flashed through, and a circle of chains suddenly appeared in that space. Golden light emitted from the chains, forming a light prison. , just surrounding the place where Acid and Beast are.
Jiuze didn't know what to say for a moment.
It seems that the powerful man back then was not totally defenseless.
After the iron chain appeared, it only flickered a few times and then slowly began to dissipate.
"What is this?" Jiuze looked at Feng Xiao and asked.
"This should be...the lock of the contract."
"Contract lock?" Jiuze was puzzled.
Feng Xiao: "Yes, ancient books record that if a cultivator and a spiritual beast sign an equal contract, then either party can turn half of the power of the contract into a contract lock before death. And the contract lock is only for the other party. efficient."
Jiuze: "So, that senior probably also expected that this acid and beast might do evil?"
"Not necessarily." Huo Qingying said at the side.
Jiuze, Shen Yi and Tianyun all looked at Huo Qingying.
"This contract locks one party's ability, and the other party can unlock it. As long as Acid and Beast improve their cultivation during the days they are sealed, and refine half of the power of the sun and moon in their bodies, they will naturally be able to release the lock of this contract and return it. It can also absorb this part of the power of the contract, thereby increasing its strength."
Huo Qingying said and sighed: "This senior is very thoughtful, but this sour person is completely unaware of his good intentions."
Everyone was a little silent.
After a long while, Shen Yi spoke softly: "Perhaps, this acid and beast knows everything, but is just frustrated."
When the acid and beast borrowed Mr. Wang's body, what they said the most in the cave was to ridicule the morality and ethics of human cultivators. Come to think of it, what was most unfair to it was not that it was sealed by its contract partner, but that its contract partner actually For the sake of "morality" and the choice of self-sacrifice to save others, it also sacrifices its freedom.
Five thousand years of sealing, even though the whole body is filled with light, cannot change the reality that it is shackled.
Perhaps, it's not that this acid and beast doesn't understand the painstaking efforts of the powerful one, it just can't accept being given up, it can't accept being defeated by human cultivators' conspiracies, and it can't accept being burdened with unwarranted infamy.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi lowered his gaze, feeling a little blocked in his heart and a little astringent in his eyes.
I can't say why, this feeling is a bit inexplicable.
The moment all the golden light of the Contract Lock dissipated, a breeze blew by. The moment he was blown by the wind, Jiuze felt that his whole body was much more energetic, and his whole body was filled with indescribable comfort and ease.
I couldn't help but ask: "This wind..."
"This is the energy of heaven and earth caused by the dissipation of the power of the contract." Feng Xiao said: "However, with your current cultivation level, we cannot absorb this energy. Just feel it."
"Then what kind of cultivation level can absorb the energy of heaven and earth?" Jiuze asked, "After ascending to the upper world?"
Feng Xiao shook his head, "I don't know either."
Huo Qingying took out a folding fan at some point and took it in her hand. At this time, she closed the folding fan and lightly tapped the back of Jiuze's head: "Why do you care about this? I just want you to practice in peace."
Jiu Ze touched the back of his head and subconsciously leaned towards Feng Xiao.
Feng Xiao turned her head and glanced at Huo Qingying.
Huo Qingying folded her fan and raised her eyebrows: "Don't look at me, I didn't do anything serious."
Feng Xiao smiled and said, "I don't dare. It's natural for my uncle to teach me a lesson."
"Then why are you still looking at me like this?"
"I would like to ask my uncle to take a look at this formation."
Hearing this, Huo Qingying looked in the direction of Feng Xiao's finger.
That place was originally suppressed by acid and beasts. After the acid and beasts disappeared, it was clear that there was nothing there.
But now, the pattern gradually emerged.
"This is..." Huo Qingying looked at the increasingly clear pattern with a very ugly expression on her face, "Soul Retracting Formation!"
"Damn it!" Huo Qingying angrily slapped her palm towards the eye of the soul-drawing array.
"Soul-pulling array?" Que Yun had obviously heard of this formation, "This is actually the soul-pulling array!"
Jiu Ze looked over and asked with his eyes.
Kanyun glanced at Jiuze, then at the two Nascent Souls present, and saw that the two of them had no reaction. They just stared at the destroyed formation with solemn expressions, and then said: "This soul-drawing formation can pull
The living soul of a person allows this person to be used by himself, or is controlled by the person in charge of the formation unknowingly."
Jiuze thought for a moment and said, "I've heard of the soul gathering array and the soul summoning array. What's the difference?"
Khotan said, "It's different of course. You know, people have three souls and seven souls. The soul gathering array is to regroup the three souls and seven souls of a person to make the person's soul complete. The soul summoning array is to gather the soul of the person who has lost his soul.
Find him back and let this person's spirit return to his place."
"But this soul-pulling formation is different. This formation forcibly involves a person's soul with your own soul, and then controls that person."
"No wonder," Jiuze sighed, "he knew we had found this place so quickly. Those guards should have been controlled by him a long time ago, so our actions were exposed early on. He should also borrow this soul-drawing array for mortals.
He forcibly imported his skills and asked them to do things for him."
That's why the cultivation of those guards and maids looks so strange.
"Well," Shen Yi agreed, "I think all the people in Chengzhou City are controlled by him, but those people don't know it. That's why he can confidently say something that will bury the whole city with him."
"Just thinking about it, he should have noticed us as soon as we entered the city. Why didn't he arrest us directly?" Kan Yun was confused.
"Because at that time he did not have the ability to control the whole city at any time," Huo Qingying said on the side. After speaking, she clapped her hands several times towards the soul-drawing formation, and saw a light purple rising from the formation.
Ning Wu, seeing this, Huo Qingying turned to Feng Xiao, "I'll leave this to you."
"Uncle Ninth Master, what do you mean?" Kanyun asked hurriedly.
"You are all right in your guesses, but it's just that this acid has obviously been lazy in cultivation during the five thousand years it has been imprisoned, and most of its skills have been wasted. Otherwise, even if Feng Xiao and I join forces, we will not be its opponent. Plus, she still wants to
Expose his skills to ask people in the city to do things for him, and from time to time
Borrowing the body of the head of the Wang family to facilitate walking. These are all depleting cultivation, but if he wants to complete the Nine Turns and Seven Evil Formation, he cannot just hide underground. Therefore, it cannot have the strength to control all the people in Chengzhou at all times.
, I didn’t realize that you guys are normal.”
"Then it happened later..."
"Later, it must have borrowed the power of the formation and the blood pool to dare to threaten us like that."
"That's it," Tianyun nodded and said, "Uncle, do you know what the Meng Huai whip that Senior Sister Rong threw later was? Why is it so powerful?"
"Oh, um, that's..." Huo Qingying was about to answer when she suddenly found that Jiuze and Shen Yi had been staring in the direction of Feng Xiao, or to be precise, staring at the purple fog on the soul-drawing formation.
Looking serious.
"What's wrong with you two?" Huo Qingying turned the folding fan in her hand, pointed at the purple mist, and said with a smile, "Are you worried that your senior brother can't handle this?"
"No," Jiu Ze's brows almost knitted into knots, "This thing looks too familiar. We're worried it's the same thing from last time."
Shen nodded in agreement.
"What last time?" Huo Qingying asked.
"Uncle Master, does he know about the plague incident in Jinyang City?" Jiuze asked.
"I heard that our sect also brought disciples there, but I was not the one who led the team that time. Why?" Huo Qingying paused, "Are you saying that this purple mist may be related to the plague?"
Jiu Ze nodded, "It's very similar, except that the purple mist had been extracted by the Pei family at that time, and it looked small and strong." After that, Jiu Ze quickly told the story about Qi Hai and Zi Wu.
Khotan was stunned when he heard this.
Huo Qingying raised her eyebrows and touched her chin, "System? What is that?"
Jiuze hurriedly comforted Hua Qiong, who almost exploded in her consciousness again, and said: "This is not the key, the key is, if this thing is the same as the one in Jinyang City, then who put these in? There must be someone who knows Keep your hands behind your back."
While several people were discussing, Feng Xiao was not idle. He raised his hands, and his palms continued to send out sizzling electric currents towards the cloud of purple mist. Those electric currents gradually gathered and lowered the purple mist, and finally turned it into a small ball.
Feng Xiao closed his palms and pulled hard.
A scream echoed throughout the entire underground.
Jiu Ze stared intently at the thing that was exactly the same as Jinyang City. He saw that the thing was a round ball being held by Feng Xiao in his hand, with only a very fine purple thread of mist dangling at the bottom. Look. The scene was like Feng Xiao casually pulling out a purple radish from the ground, with its slender purple roots floating in the air.
Feng Xiao glanced at the purple "whisker", and with a stroke of his finger, a pure red spark jumped onto the "whisker". In an instant, accompanied by Ziwu's tragic scream, that little pitiful The "roots" were burned completely.
