Heaven and Earth Circle Formation, when Tong Yan was learning the formation, he read an introduction about it in the jade paper in Canghai Tower.
After this formation is activated, a cyclic trapping formation will be formed, which will absorb the spiritual energy and life in the formation to maintain operation, and then act on the trapped person.
The higher the cultivation level of the monks in the formation, the more their spiritual power will be affected. Not only will their spiritual power be gradually lost, but the operation of their spiritual power will also be affected.
But when it comes to mortals, it is a little different. It will not trap mortals who have no spirit. Ordinary people who stay in the formation for a long time will have symptoms of memory confusion, weakness in limbs, insomnia and irritability due to the life being sucked away.
In particular, this formation is not bloody, if you have a wound on your body and it is not healed as soon as possible.
A monk's cultivation level will plummet, while a mortal's body will rapidly weaken and his lifespan will be shortened.
If it's serious, the body will be sucked dry and turned into a mummy.
Seeing Tong Yan lowering his head and thinking, Ji Xing was a little surprised: "You also know this formation?"
I remember that two years ago, she couldn't even see the simplest trap formation.
"There is an introduction to this formation in the sect, and I happened to see it."
Thinking of the function of the Heaven and Earth Circle Array, it is not difficult to imagine what the anomaly they were investigating was about.
"Then these old people suddenly died at the same time, probably because the formation sucked away their remaining vitality. I remember City Master He seemed to have said that there were no obvious wounds on their bodies. By the way, Senior Sister Yang, her arm was injured.
of!"
The joy of meeting Ji Xing made her temporarily forget that she had a classmate. At this moment, because of the formation, she suddenly remembered that there was someone else.
Tong Yan said something to Ji Xing, turned around and flew back to the original alley. At this time, Yang Jifei was half-kneeling on the ground, her face was a little pale, and her injured arm was bleeding.
Obviously, she had already received the focus of the formation at this time.
"Senior Sister Yang, let me help you stop the bleeding first. Now, use less spiritual power. There are formations here that will continuously suppress and absorb the spiritual energy from your body." Tong Yan immediately took out the elixir and gave it to Yang Jifei, hoping to relieve her pain.
Now in a weak condition.
However, the replenishing spiritual energy can still have some effect, but the hemostatic elixir is of no use at all.
"The elixir didn't work, I tried it." Yang Jifei's voice sounded a little weak because of her injury.
"What do you mean by the formation? How did you know that there is a formation here?"
"Little Master... the Buddhist cultivator just told me that someone set up a circular formation of heaven and earth here to trap the old Qingcheng. We have already joined the formation since we entered the city yesterday."
Tong Yan was afraid that Yang Jifei would not know who he was referring to, so he changed it to Buddhism.
Then he pointed out the anomalies encountered, "What you said this morning about part of the spiritual energy dissipating inexplicably, and the unusual cause of death of the old man we came to investigate, are all related to this formation as expected."
There are also situations where when you are fighting, you gradually find that the spiritual power used in spells is at least half more than usual.
After listening to what she said, Yang Jifei couldn't help but think about it, and found that it was indeed what the child said, and her face gradually became serious.
She asked Tong Yan: "Is this wound bleeding all the time because of the formation? Normally, the two-inch long wound would have healed long ago."
Yang Jifei didn't know about this formation because it was necessary to use contribution points to enter Canghai Tower. Tong Yan brought back a lot of things from Yanhui Secret Realm, and after handing them over to the sect, the contribution points would naturally be a lot.
It's not that the other disciples have no contribution value, but they enter Canghai Tower because of the cultivation techniques. If they don't intend to practice, few disciples will borrow the jade notes about formations.
Tong Yan nodded and said, "The wound must be stopped, as it will affect your cultivation over time."
Recalling the acupuncture points I learned at Tianqing Mountain, regardless of whether they were useful or not, I put a little more force on a certain acupuncture point on Yang Jifei's shoulder, and then tore off the hem of her skirt to bandage the wound.
This was Yang Jifei's first experience with acupuncture. Seeing that Tong Yan's arms went numb after just touching her, she couldn't help but ask, "What are you..."
"It's used to stop bleeding. It should be useful."
Seeing that Tong Yan didn't want to say more, Yang Jifei didn't ask any more questions. The most taboo thing for monks is to get to the bottom of other people's secrets.
After a while, Ji Xing came with the body. He threw the body on the ground casually, looked at Tong Yan's bandaging action, walked directly to another man in black, took out something from his body, and left.
come over.
As soon as he approached, Yang Jifei immediately raised her head and looked at him with hidden warning.
Ran Jixing just handed over a red token and said to Tong Yan: "This is the token they use to resist the formation. If you carry it with you, you will not be affected by the formation."
Tong Yan turned his head and saw clearly what he handed over. After understanding its function, he suddenly realized the purpose of looking at the body of the man in black.
It turned out that he was looking for tokens to eliminate the effect of the formation.
After taking the token, she handed it directly to Yang Jifei, "Senior Sister Yang, take this with you."
Then he untied her acupoints smoothly.
After Yang Jifei glanced at Ji Xing, he took the token without hesitation and said thank you to Tong Yan.
Tong Yan's expression was slightly surprised. What did he want to thank her for? Wasn't this what Ji Xing gave her?
But in Yang Jifei's opinion, the monk found it specially for Tong Yan, and Tong Yan kindly gave it to her.
She inherited the affection of her fellow junior sister Tong Yan, not Ji Xing who was obviously from a different camp.
Ji Xing had no idea about this. The token was given to Tong Yan. Whether she uses it herself or gives it to others is her own business.
Shortly after Yang Jifei took the token, the wound on her arm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it returned to its original state within a few breaths.
She could clearly feel the pressure exerted by the formation disappearing, which finally made her face feel lighter.
The two men in black had already been delayed for a long time, and Ji Xing wanted to continue to break the formation. He couldn't stay for long, so he had to remind Tong Yan to be careful first.
"There are many people from the God-Eating Hall in the city. They can use their spiritual power freely without being restricted by the formation. So you must be careful before breaking the formation and don't act alone."
Hearing that Ji Xing wanted to leave and act alone, Tong Yan stood up, looked up and asked him: "Little master, are you going to break the formation? Is it difficult? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Although he was young, he had a lot to worry about. Ji Xing couldn't help but touched Tong Yan's head, smiled slightly and said: "It's not a particularly difficult matter. Pay attention to protecting yourself. If you encounter any trouble, just send a message."
, I will try my best to get here in time."
After saying these words, he left, but since both of them were here, it was not too late to reminisce about the past after settling the matter.
After discussing with Yang Jifei, Tong Yan decided to quickly contact other disciples to inform them of the matter, and then rushed to the city lord's mansion.
Since the people from the God-Eating Hall have arrived here a long time ago, but have not taken action against the people in the city, and have even set up a formation to wait for them, then is City Master He an insider?
If you don't know, why should you tell them that there is an abnormality in the four corners of the city and separate them.
To say it was a coincidence would be a bit far-fetched.
Just like what Senior Brother Zheng said last night, it was clear that a disaster was imminent, but the first step when seeing them was to hold a banquet to welcome them instead of asking for help and complaining.
There didn't seem to be any gloom or fear on his face, but maybe some nervousness.
There is something wrong with City Lord.
Not long after, Tong Yan received replies from other classmates, and sure enough, they were also attacked.
There is also news that a disciple of the Sword Sect was seen in the city.
Isn't this the territory of the Mosha Sect? Why do the disciples of the Sword Sect come here?
Before arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Tong Yan's consciousness noticed the unusual silence there. There were still spells and sword energy left over from the fight in the air, and the building suffered inconspicuous damage.
They had only left for less than half an hour. What happened here and who were fighting here?
Yang Jifei was also a little surprised and guessed: "Could it be that Senior Brother Zheng and the others met other people from the God-Eating Hall when they returned to the City Lord's Mansion?"
I have just contacted other classmates, so I naturally know that they are still on their way, so it is definitely not them who are fighting with others here.
The only possibility is that Senior Brother Zheng and another person went out early in the morning.
Or is it that other monks besides Jian Zong and Ji Xing have also entered the city?
Tong Yan and the others stopped when they noticed the abnormality, gripped the magic weapon and guarded the surroundings vigilantly.
The two of them went straight to the city lord's palace without any concealment. If there was an ambush here, their whereabouts would probably have been discovered.
Sure enough, the next moment, a murderous aura rose up behind Tong Yan. Her heart tightened and she instinctively ducked to the ground, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow to her chest.
After dodging, she quickly turned back. The figure of the man in black holding the dagger flashed out of the way, leaving only an afterimage of her disappearing.
Although the injured Yang Jifei was in a bad state, his reaction was not slow even though he was not affected by the formation. He blocked the blade with his backhand, and the magic weapon made a harsh sound when it hit it.
The man in black, who failed in one attack, quickly became invisible and hid, preparing for the next attack.
This was only the first wave of sneak attacks by the men in black, but judging from the fluctuations in spiritual power detected by the consciousness, there were at least ten people hiding in the dark surrounding the two of them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Tong Yan shouted: "Senior Sister Yang, leave quickly, there are many of them!"
The enemy is numerous and we are few, so we cannot resist forcefully.
Yang Jifei also realized this. After the magic weapon was separated, he was not prepared to tangle with the attacker, and ran with her in the same direction in a tacit understanding.
The man in black gave chase and suddenly disappeared halfway.
At this time, they also saw Cao Yicheng and others rushing towards this side, followed by several Sword Sect disciples behind them.
Seeing Tong Yan and Yang Jifei flying from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, he asked doubtfully: "Aren't you going to gather at the City Lord's Mansion? Why are you here?"
Yang Jifei said: "The city lord's palace is surrounded by people from the God-Eating Hall. We were attacked as soon as we got there. Someone was originally chasing us, but for some reason they retreated halfway."
"Are they trying to prevent us from approaching the City Lord's Mansion?" said a disciple.
There must be some conspiracy brewing in the city lord's palace, otherwise why would the man in black give up the pursuit of them and go back?
"Have you contacted Senior Brother Zheng? Where is he now?"
"He took Zhao Yi to explore the secret room under the city lord's palace. We can't contact them now!" This was the first disciple to meet Senior Brother Zheng and the others in the morning. However, there were more people later. In order to keep the operation secret, they all said that they were going out.
.
Everyone else only knew that Senior Brother Zheng had gone out early, but they didn't expect that he was still in the mansion.
At this moment, the city lord's palace is surrounded, and the situation of Senior Brother Zheng and others is definitely not optimistic.
After a few people gathered together, they decided to kill a few men in black to seize the token, and then enter the city lord's mansion.
The Sword Sect disciples stood quietly aside from the beginning to the end, and followed them after they started.
Cao Yicheng and the others ignored them, obviously acquiescing to their existence. When the fight started, the Sword Sect disciples would also be a helping hand.
When Tong Yan followed the team to the City Lord's Mansion, there was another unexpected change. Someone used a formation to separate the City Lord's Mansion from ordinary residences.
The group of people easily passed through the obstacles of the formation and entered the city lord's mansion. Looking at the calm mansion from the outside, there was already a fight inside.
Ji Xing, who had originally left, was fighting with the leader of the men in black. The black and golden lights collided and fought, and the scene looked very fierce.
The men in black who were watching noticed Tong Yan and the others who had suddenly barged in, and attacked them without saying a word.
The battle scene started in an instant. According to what was originally discussed, the others covered the two people to find Senior Brother Zheng.
Ji Xing has been looking for where the formation eye of the Heaven and Earth Circle Formation is hidden. He has already explored the City Lord's Mansion several times and found no difference. Unexpectedly, the final formation eye is related to the City Lord's Mansion.
In order to avoid affecting ordinary people, he spent a day setting up a protective formation to prevent people without spiritual power from approaching. Tong Yan noticed it the moment they passed through the formation.
He sent a message to Tong Yan: "Tong Donor, find an opportunity to go to the backyard. The leader of this formation is He City Lord. You must find him!"
Tong Yan was stunned when he received the message, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Ji Xing, who was fighting with others. His face was serious at this time, and he caught her gaze and met her eyes.
A message came again, "Go quickly, don't let his soul fall into their hands."
After confirming that it was Ji Xing who was transmitting the message to her, Tong Yan immediately nodded to him to indicate that he had received it, turned to Yang Jifei and said, "Senior Sister Yang, I have something to go to the backyard, help me cover it."
Yang Jifei didn't say anything. She glanced at Tong Yan and then used her sword to take the attack from the other side, giving her a chance to leave.
After Tong Yan escaped, he quickly pulled over and headed for the backyard of the city lord's mansion. Perhaps all the people in black were heading to the front, and the road to the backyard was now clear.
In the quiet inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, where have all the servants that I saw this morning gone?
The further inside, the more gloomy the atmosphere becomes. She is also a demon cultivator, but the black energy still makes her very annoying.
The faint smell of blood came from the tip of her nose. Tong Yan knew that she was about to find the place. She slowed down and approached, and heard screams coming from the tunnel in the rockery.
"What's so good about being a city lord? If you become the ghost king of my magical weapon, you will have infinite power, not to mention immortality. This is immortality that no emperor can ask for."
What responded to him was City Master He's screams of pain, which were accompanied by the muffled groans of others.
Tong Yan carefully probed his consciousness through the secret passage, and at the end was a gray basement. Several oil lamps flickered, making the place look even more gloomy.
City Lord He, who was dressed in bright robes yesterday, was half-soaked in the blood pool in the center. The blood turned into blood snakes and fought its way into his body. The torture was comparable to torture, making his face look ferocious and he let out painful screams.
Call.
Strange formations were engraved on the periphery of the blood pool, and strips of red water slowly flowed into the central pool. The source came from the servants of the city lord's mansion.
One by one, they fell to the ground in a mess, their wrists were cut open with large wounds, and the bloody wounds seemed to have been severed at first glance.
Under this kind of torture, City Master He still retained a trace of reason. He said intermittently: "Please... please, let my son go. I will listen to you in everything..."
The man in black robe in front of the blood pool suddenly laughed, walked to the corner next to him, looked at the two children, and said to City Lord He seemingly confused: "You have two sons, which one do you want me to let go? Yes.
