Ling Xuewei has been wandering in the darkness in her last life. As the top mercenary king in the mercenary world, most of the tasks she receives are things that cannot be exposed to the sun.
Although Ling Xuewei could understand what the Red Feather Sect had done for this tin mine vein, she could not agree with it.
"But Senior Brother, after hearing so much you said, there is still something I don't understand." Ling Xuewei looked at Yu Dongyi.
"Junior sister Ling, it doesn't matter if you say it."
"I don't understand what the Red Feather Sect's purpose is for putting tens of thousands of people in Guixu City under house arrest." Ling Xuewei said, "If they just need enough labor, the remaining residents of Guixu City at the beginning will
That’s enough for the Red Feather Sect to drive.”
Ling Xuewei paused.
"But according to what you said, Senior Brother Yu, the Scarlet Feather Sect has been arresting people everywhere in the Middle Earth during this time and year, and is constantly replenishing new residents for Guixu City. In this way, the residents here are very likely not
The Red Feather Sect has kept these coolies in captivity, and the Red Feather Sect must have another purpose for keeping this group of people."
"Junior Sister Ling, I admire you!" Yu Dongyi sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Your sensitivity really impresses me."
"Senior Brother Yu, there is no need for you to say more polite words." Ling Xuewei said with a smile, "Looking at you, you must have learned some information that we have not yet come into contact with."
"Indeed, as Junior Sister Ling said, if the Red Feather Sect was just for mining ores, there would be no need for a whole town of people from Guixu City." Yu Dongyi said, "In fact, the coolies selected by the Red Feather Sect to enter the mines
, there are less than a hundred, and the number of 'destined people' they add every month is also very small, usually only three to five."
"Then why did they lock so many people in Guixu City?" Yu Wenxuan asked casually.
"Their purpose is very simple. There is something you should take a look at first."
Yu Dongyi took out a piece of parchment from his arms as he spoke.
He spread out the parchment, and Ling Xuewei and the others immediately joined in.
"This is……"
Ling Xuewei just glanced at the parchment and said immediately.
"This seems to be the map of Guixu City."
"This is a detailed map of Guixu City that I drew when I had nothing to do in the past two years. Can you tell anything from this map?" Yu Dongyi asked.
Everyone looked at the map carefully. Yu Dongyi said that this was a detailed map of Guixu City. Everyone immediately discovered that Yu Dongyi was really not joking.
On the map, everything from the market in Guixu City to every house inhabited by residents can be found on the map.
"Just looking at the map, there doesn't seem to be anything special." Yu Wenxuan shook his head while looking at it.
"Huh?"
As soon as Yu Wenxuan finished speaking, Xiao Yifeng cried out in surprise.
"Yifeng, have you discovered anything?" Ling Xuewei asked quickly.
When Ling Xuewei took a closer look at the map, she had already asked Bai Ze to copy the entire map.
Previously, Ling Xuewei also asked Bai Ze to survey the entire terrain of Guixu City and draw a detailed map.
The map of Guixu City drawn by Bai Ze is not only as small as a house or a tree, but the map is also three-dimensional.
Ling Xuewei asked Bai Ze to compare the two maps.
"The map drawn by Yu Dongyi is exactly the same except for the scale," Bai Ze said. "In this era without instruments, simply
It’s not easy for a hand-drawn map to have such accuracy.”
"If I'm not mistaken, the entire Guixu City seems to be a huge formation..."
As Xiao Yifeng spoke, he took the map of Guixu City into his hand and looked at it carefully.
Xiao Yifeng is an expert among experts when it comes to formations. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Xiao Yifeng's conclusion.
Xiao Yifeng stared at his eyelids, seeming to be thinking about something.
However, his face became increasingly ugly.
"The Eight Desolate Ten Thousand Souls Array! You can't be wrong, this is the Eight Desolate Ten Thousand Souls Array!"
Xiao Yifeng, who had always been calm, actually had his hands trembling slightly.
"I didn't expect Junior Brother Xiao to also study formations!" Yu Dongyi said with surprise on his face, "When I finished drawing the map of Guixu City, I could only vaguely see that the Red Feather Sect was using Guixu City to set up formations.
But I really don’t know what kind of formation it is. I only know that Guixu City secretly set up the formation here and trapped tens of thousands of people here. This formation is definitely not a good thing!"
"The Eight Desolate Ten Thousand Souls Formation is a formation that sacrifices the lives of tens of thousands of people to the heavens, and allows the cultivation level of those who use the formation to skyrocket instantly." Xiao Yifeng explained to everyone, "It can make a person who doesn't understand cultivation at all
An ordinary person can suddenly become a martial emperor with superb cultivation."
"You mean Chi Honghui wants to use the lives of tens of thousands of people to practice!" All Ling Xuewei's doubts seem to have a reasonable explanation, "No wonder they keep arresting people everywhere in the land of Middle-earth. It turns out that
In Chi Honghui's eyes, these people are not human beings at all, they are ants, nothing more than a tool for him to improve his cultivation."
"It's just..." Xiao Yifeng's frown deepened.
"Any questions?" Ling Xuewei asked.
"If I remember correctly, the Eight Desolations and Ten Thousand Souls Formation is an extremely dangerous formation..." Xiao Yifeng carefully considered his words.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Ling Xuewei rolled her eyes, "Even if you think about this formation with your toes, it will definitely be a forbidden formation. The danger is the most basic. If it is really so easy to use a formation,
With the lives of tens of thousands of people, you can easily improve your cultivation, and I believe there are many cultivators who would be happy to do this."
As soon as Ling Xuewei finished speaking, everyone looked at Ling Xuewei in surprise.
No one thought that Ling Xuewei would say such words.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Ling Xuewei shrugged, "What I said is just to be more straightforward. In this world of the jungle, compared to the improvement of my own personal strength, in the eyes of those people,
What do the lives of tens of thousands of people mean? Perhaps in their eyes, this will be a very good deal."
Ling Xuewei sighed heavily as she spoke.
"This is the reality. Many high-ranking cultivators appear to be sanctimonious and noble on the surface. But secretly, it's not that they don't want to do it, but that this method is too difficult and they don't have much else to do."
"Xuewei, I have to say that there is some truth to what you said." Xiao Yifeng shook his head with a wry smile, "If the Eight Desolate Ten Thousand Souls Array were not recorded in my family's secret book, I don't think ordinary cultivators would know it.
I know that there is such a formation, and if I remember correctly, there are no successful cases of this formation at all, and once this formation comes out, what is left is only a dead city without any survivors..."
"Dead City..." Ling Xuewei was stunned for a moment, "Including those who set up the formation?"
Xiao Yifeng nodded heavily.
"Since Chi Honghui dared to set up the Eight Desolations and Ten Thousand Souls Array in Guixu City, it means that he must be sure of success." Huangfu Chen said in a deep voice, "After all, Chi Honghui has been planning in Guixu City for more than ten years.
The formation has been arranged long ago, but he has never activated it. According to my estimation, he should be waiting for an opportunity."
"What Huangfu Chen said makes sense. Chi Honghui wanted to use this formation to improve his cultivation. He was able to do so early on, but he always stood still." Ling Xuewei nodded, "This shows that he also knows it very well.
Knowing that this formation is quite dangerous and the conditions for activating it are not yet mature, he is waiting for a suitable opportunity."
"If there is anything different about Guixu City, it is the tin ore veins underground." Huangfu Chen guessed, "Does he want to accumulate a certain amount of tin ore and use the tin ore to improve the quality of the city?"
What is the success rate of the Eight Desolations and Ten Thousand Souls Array?"
"I don't know, but I don't rule out the possibility." Xiao Yifeng said.
"Guixu City has completely fallen into chaos and has become what it is now. It is impossible for the place to return to its original state." Ling Xuewei sighed.
"you mean……"
Huangfuchen heard the underlying meaning of Ling Xuewei's words.
"Because of the collapse of the underground cave in Guixu City, this accident completely destroyed Chi Honghui's plan. Chi Honghui felt that he could no longer wait for the most suitable opportunity. He wanted to activate the formation in advance...
"
"According to what Senior Brother Yu said, Chi Honghui only gave the residents here three days, limiting them to find the stranger who recently broke into Guixu City within three days." Ling Xuewei took a deep breath, "This seems to be
It means that all this chaos will end in three days, because everyone will die in three days."
"Three days..."
Yu Dongyi was stunned. He never imagined that Ling Xuewei and Huangfuchen's analysis would turn out to be an extremely terrifying result.
"It's been a day, which means that everyone in Guixu City will die in two days, including those of us who are like mice hiding underground without seeing the light of day..."
"Once the Eight Desolations and Ten Thousand Souls Formation is activated, there will be no possibility of survival for anyone within the formation." Xiao Yifeng's words cut off all of Yu Dongyi's hopes.
"Then what else is there to say! We have to leave this place as soon as possible!" Ling Xuewei said decisively, "We will find another way for the residents on the ground in Guixu City. Those who are awake and hiding underground now should leave immediately!"
"Leave? How can we leave!" Yu Dongyi's voice revealed a hint of despair, "This is a place with no entrance and no exit. Where can we escape?"
