Chapter 719: Chapter 359 The Bloody Scent of the Flying Spirit Hall_2
Lin Yi nodded slightly, “Within this formation, there’s also a man and a woman, and if I’m not mistaken, that woman must be your friend.”
From his mory, he had an impression of that woman; she seed to be from the Xuan Tian Realm and was at the Golden Core Realm when he saw her. She must have ascended not long ago, just like Xu Yu Rou.
As for the man, he was of the Refining Void Realm. Earlier, he was wandering around inside the formation, but now he has entered that palace, holding a Jade Badge in his hand. From the look of it, he must have obtained the Jade Badge quite so ti ago.
Why then was he wandering inside the formation? This made Lin Yi curious and led him to suspect that the situation might not be as simple as it seed.
Now, hearing Lin Yi’s words, Xu Yu Rou’s expression changed, and she quickly said, “Yes, senior, that man is slightly higher in realm than us. We encountered him outside, and he said there was a formation in the city that could protect us.”
“But when we arrived at the hall above, he suddenly wanted us to act as his Dao companions for a ti. When we refused, he attempted to force us with violence. Out of necessity, we escaped into this formation, never expecting to be separated from her and then trapped, unable to leave.”
A serious expression appeared on Lin Yi’s face. From the depth of observation through his Eye of Emptiness, the Jade Badge that the man possessed could only grant passage through the formation and into the palace, but it couldn’t rescue anyone from the formation, nor could it enter the formation site of others.
The Array thod Jade Plate, Demonfall City, as well as the black-armored guard Xu Fenghai, seed to be connected. It looked as though this person had intentionally lured cultivators here.
Without further pondering, Lin Yi nodded and said, “Alright, then follow to rescue your friend first.” He then led Xu Yu Rou out of the Illusion Land of the formation.
Witnessing this scene, Xu Yu Rou showed a look of amazent on her face. It appeared that this senior was incredibly proficient with formations, moving through them as easily as if taking a stroll.
Soon, they arrived within the formation where the woman was located. Seeing the two of them, the woman lit up with joy, hugged Xu Yu Rou tightly, and thanked Lin Yi for saving her life.
“Do you wish to leave now or seek revenge on that man? I can lend you a helping hand,” Lin Yi asked.
After communicating briefly, Xu Yu Rou and her companion bowed and said, “Senior, instead of killing him directly, we would prefer him to endure endless tornt within this formation.”
“Alright, let’s go then,” Lin Yi nodded, guiding them through the formation toward the one near the palace.
He then placed the two within the safety of the Array Core, instructing them, “The two of you wait here and don’t move around randomly, while I check if the surroundings are safe.”
“Yes, senior,” Xu Yu Rou and her friend nodded intensely.
Lin Yi stealthily made his way into the palace via the formation. His observation through the Eye of Emptiness had revealed that the brain of the Void Refinent Cultivator held a kind of restriction.
It seed to have been implanted to keep a secret, just like how prestigious Sects conveyed precious Cultivation Techniques—with the threat of instantaneous death should the secret be leaked.
This situation made Lin Yi even more convinced that there was so unspeakable secret at hand. Xu Fenghai’s secret concerning the Practitioners of Creation Arts was known to him, but he suspected that this fellow had intentionally trapped Xu Yu Rou and her friend here for so other secret as well.
At that mont, Lin Yi recalled sensing a trace of blood scent when he had previously investigated the Flying Spirit Hall in the Spirit City. He hadn’t looked deeply into it, assuming it was due to Xu Fenghai’s killing of the Ascenders of the Creation thod.
Now, Lin Yi felt certain that there was definitely an issue. He chose not to question the man or use the Soul Search technique to uncover the secret because with the brain’s restriction, no matter whether he used the forceful Soul Search or the persuasive efficacy of the [Nice Person] title to have the fellow reveal the secret voluntarily, it would trigger the restriction.
As for his Elent-less Power, whether it could shield against such a restriction was still an unknown. If it were the aura of the three types of Creation, he felt it would definitely be possible to shield.
Therefore, Lin Yi decided to investigate the Flying Spirit Hall himself. The City Lord Mansion was not far from the Flying Spirit Hall, and keeping Xu Yu Rou and her friend within the formation was the safest option. So secrets were too dangerous for them to know.
Using a teleportation technique, he moved out of the City Lord Mansion and entered the Flying Spirit Hall. This hall, too, was without any form of formation defense, and he observed deeply with the Eye of Emptiness, finding no other chanisms.
The setup was identical to the Predict Crisis encountered in the Lower Realm, except that it had beco even more dilapidated.
Inside the Flying Spirit Hall, even though nothing seed amiss on the surface, with his Eye of Emptiness, Lin Yi sensed an extrely intense sll of blood. anwhile, there wasn’t a trace of resentnt from Yin Souls.
It seed that a rite for the peaceful repose of the dead had already been perford in advance.
If it were just killing the Practitioners of Creation Arts, it would be absolutely impossible to produce such a heavy sll of blood. He did, however, sense so resentnt from so of the Fusion Demon race around.
A grave expression appeared on Lin Yi’s face. He had guessed so things: these Fusion demons possessed a certain degree of Spiritual Wisdom. If Xu Fenghai led a team here, they would definitely be attacked by them.
Perhaps, this guy had conducted so unspeakable deals with the Fusion demons, such as using a blood sacrifice of the Human race in exchange for a period of peace in the Flying Spirit Hall.
As for where the sacrificed Cultivators ca from, if this was really the case, then Xu Fenghai truly deserved to die.
The reason Xu Yu Rou and the other person were still alive was because within the Formation, they weren’t the only ones trapped.
This was also why, initially in the Formation, despite finding traces of other Cultivators’ presence, he found not a single bone.
If he had co a few decades later, perhaps the next ti Xu Fenghai ca, he would have to use Xu Yu Rou and the other for a blood sacrifice.
Thinking this, a coldness appeared on Lin Yi’s face. If it was only targeting the Practitioners of Creation Arts, it could still be explained as conflicts between Sect Camps, but now to sacrifice innocent Cultivators, this was utterly inhumane, worse than pigs and dogs.
The Void Refinent Immortal Cultivator, he would naturally not let go. The thick black aura on this person represented the magnitude of his evil deeds.
Of course, he also thought of a way to kill this person without arousing Xu Fenghai’s suspicion.
Though later, he could use his real body to co to the Demon Clan region and kill this person, doing so would arouse more suspicion. His current identity was as an assistant invited by Invincible East, with a proper reason for being there, as long as he didn’t trigger any prohibitions in the person’s mind.
Having made his decision, Lin Yi returned to the underground Formation in the City Lord Mansion, led Xu Yu Rou and the other through the Formation, and arrived in the palace.
“Senior, we never expected there to be such a palace within the Formation.” Seeing this place, Xu Yu Rou and the other showed surprise, having not anticipated a palace hidden within the Formation. This must be what the Formation was ant to protect.
They had been trapped in the Formation for a hundred years and had not been able to enter, yet this Senior had done so with ease.
Just then, the Void Refinent Cultivator heard a sound and ca out of the palace. Seeing Xu Yu Rou and the other, his face showed shock, “How did you get out…”
Then, his gaze shifted to Lin Yi, and his expression suddenly changed, “Who are you, to be able to lead two people out of the Formation?”
Seeing this Void Refinent Cultivator, Xu Yu Rou and the other also showed panic, “Senior, it’s this person who pursued us, his Cultivation levels are high, we should retreat into the Formation.”
Lin Yi spoke indifferently, “Unexpectedly, you also managed to pass through the Formation. As a Human Cultivator in the Demon Clan Territory, pursuing your own kind, your cri warrants death.”
After speaking, without any hesitation, he released his Flying Sword, purposely clashed with this person for a few rounds, and then seized the right opportunity to kill him with one strike.
Seeing Lin Yi eliminate the Cultivator, Xu Yu Rou and the other showed relief and quickly thanked him with a bow, “Thank you, Senior, for avenging us.”
Lin Yi nodded slightly, “Everything in this palace has likely been taken by this person. You can take his Storage Ring.”
Xu Yu Rou went over, took off the Storage Ring, and handed it to Lin Yi, “This is from the person you killed, Senior. Please take it.”
Lin Yi, without being polite, took so items that would aid in Refining Void from the Storage Ring, then returned it to them, “Divide the rest of the items among yourselves. Let’s leave this place.”
