"Jiang Nuo, did you hear that? It seems like soone is screaming in agony?"
Jiang Nuo denied, "No."
"Could I have been hearing things?" Zhan Zhengtong was uncertain.
Of course, it wasn’t Zhan Zhengtong’s imagination. Although the villa had fallen into the deep pit of an array, they were cultivators, after all, with so mastery of spells, not so easily to die from a fall.
It was just that the villa suddenly collapsed, catching them off guard.
Once they regained their senses, they each drew their weapons, trying to escape danger and fly away.
However, at that mont, they felt a pain in their chests, and a blinding black light shot out from their chests, burning their clothes and the hands they wanted to use to cover their chests.
"Ah..."
They scread in agony.
The source of the black light was the tattoos on their chests. Not long ago, Lady Dongfang had arranged for soone to re-embroider them, saying it was for so secret mission.
But they never expected that Lady Dongfang’s so-called secret mission was actually for them to beco sacrifices for the "Demon Evil Array."
After the black light shot out, spell inscriptions spread from their chests to their entire bodies, and before long, their bodies were entirely covered.
Then, under the power of the spell, the person turned into a pool of blood and disappeared on the ground.
Luckily, Zhan Zhengtong did not see this scene, or he might have fainted from fright.
In the city, Mu Qiuniang was quietly sipping tea, with Mu Mingyu standing by, ready to serve at any mont.
Suddenly, her hand paused.
Mu Mingyu seed to sense sothing, "Auntie, sothing seems to have happened!"
"Yes! It’s the Demon Evil Array!"
"The Demon Evil Array, what is that?"
"A very terrifying array that requires a deal with demons, exchanging one’s soul to gain the ability to set it up. And this is not its most terrifying aspect. The scariest part is that anyone with a sacrificial text tattooed on their chest will activate instantly, turning into a sacrifice and transforming into a pool of blood, disappearing, no matter where they are."
"Not many people would want to beco sacrifices, right?"
"You wouldn’t know it’s a sacrificial text; you’d just think it’s a beautiful tattoo. Moreover, everyone’s sacrificial text can be different."
Mu Mingyu’s eyes widened, "It can work like that? Then those who love tattoos won’t stand a chance!"
"I’ll go check the origin of the Demon Evil Array. You contact Gong Leitian to see how many victims there are in the city. Hopefully, it’s not too many, or it will be troubleso."
If there are too many, even she would not be able to control it.
The only blessing is that not all sacrifices for the Demon Evil Array activate simultaneously. It follows a sequence based on distance.
She must control the situation before it spirals out of control.
After saying this, Mu Qiuniang disappeared from the spot.
When she reappeared, she was at the origin of the Demon Evil Array—Lady Dongfang’s villa in the suburbs.
However, at this mont, the entire villa was enveloped in a black pillar of light, reaching straight to the sky, obscuring any visibility of what was happening inside.
Mu Qiuniang tried to touch the pillar of light.
"Zzz..."
A burst of sparks flickered on her finger.
Evidently, the pillar of light did not welco her.
Mu Qiuniang’s face darkened. Even if it didn’t welco her, she had to go in because Jiang Nuo was inside.
Mu Qiuniang extended her right hand, palm up, and with a flick of her wrist, a silvery-white brush appeared in her hand.
Holding this brush, she floated in the air and stepped back a few paces.
She began to chant an ancient mantra, the ancient language echoing in the air.
She released her grip, and the brush, as if understanding her intention, flew a forearm’s length in front of her, emitting a faint white glow.
With her hands free, they did not rest, forming a series of hand seals, one beautiful flower after another, with increasing speed and more complex techniques, until they beca nothing but a blur.
Within this blur, her fingertips held white light dots, as if sothing was blossoming within them.
Before long, ten light dots left her fingertips, floating above the brush.
The brush blossod into a colorful rose.
Mu Qiuniang planted this colorful rose on the array, imdiately rooting into the array, absorbing its energy, and quickly growing.
A rose arch appeared before her.
Mu Qiuniang stepped through.
The colorful rose followed her, disappearing behind her.
At the very first mont the Demon Evil Array appeared, Gong Leitian sensed its existence and was startled. What’s going on? Why has such an evil thing appeared?
In the special departnt, others also sensed its presence. Although so were unsure, they hurried to the departnt to inquire if sothing had happened.
At this ti, Gong Leitian received a call from Mu Mingyu, "Letian, sothing has happened."
"What happened?"
"Soone has set up the Demon Evil Array. We don’t know how many have beco sacrifices. Auntie’s intention is for you to quickly send soone to investigate. She has already gone to the array site to see if there is a way to break it."
Gong Leitian’s heart skipped a beat, "The Demon Evil Array?! Do you know what kind of formation that is? And you let her go?!"
"What kind of formation? Isn’t it a Demon Array?"
"It’s one of the Ancient Ten Forbidden Formations, impossible for ordinary people to break. You sent her there, are you sending her to her death?" Gong Leitian shouted.
That formation has no known thod of breaking. Do they think her aunt is a deity to have her go and break it?!
Mu Mingyu was also stunned. From Auntie’s expression, it didn’t seem so serious.
"But Uncle is in the array. Do you think anyone can stop Auntie?"
Gong Leitian was stunned, "Him again? I knew it, this Jiang Nuo is dragging Auntie down. How did he manage to get caught up in the Demon Evil Array?"
In anger and panic, he vented his frustration for a while.
Mu Mingyu didn’t know how to calm him, "Letian, let’s follow Auntie’s words, maybe we can help..."
"Help with what! Unless the array is destroyed before all sacrifices are offered, nobody can stop it. Do you even know what the sacrificial text is? You don’t, I don’t, who can stop it? You can’t just strip everyone and remove all tattoos, can you?"
"If that is the only way to help Auntie, then so be it."
"You..." Gong Leitian gritted his teeth, "Fine, then so be it! I’ll contact the Cultivation Alliance; our special departnt alone might not be enough."
"Yes, ti is of the essence, thank you for your hard work."
"Once this is resolved, I’ll settle the score with you all! If Auntie gets hurt, none of you will escape."
"Fine! If anything happens to Auntie, we’ll all join her."
With a "bang," Gong Leitian hung up the phone and walked out of his office, his face cold as frost.
The special departnt mbers were rushing back as fast as they could. Those who had already returned jumped in fright upon seeing his expression, "Director, has sothing major happened?"
"Sothing must have happened. I have a very bad feeling!"
"My heart is also pounding, feeling very uneasy. The last ti I felt like this, I nearly died on a mission."
"Don’t, don’t jinx it, I’m terrified! Hasn’t the Cultivation World been quite peaceful lately?"
"That’s what you think is peaceful."
"Has sothing happened that I’m unaware of?"
