Chapter 263: Immortal Formation
With a slightly startled expression, Jiang Liqian hastily avoided her sight, but his hands did not stop moving and quickly formed a formation.
Yue Zhu stopped talking nonsense and prepared to eliminate this young man who might be a hindrance to her.
At this moment, the jade token on Jiang Liqian's waist flashed, and at the same time, the disciples of Qiankun Sect who had been sent to disperse the nearby residents flew in from all directions.
They all had serious expressions. When they saw Jiang Liqian confronting Yue Zhu, they immediately put aside all the previous frictions and grudges and formed a united front with her.
"Senior sister!" "Junior sister!"
"We will help you!"
Each magical weapon emitting various spiritual powers was aimed at the Moon Spider. Everyone had a determined look and vowed to fight the evil to the end and never retreat.
Among the disciples of Qiankun Sect, only those who died in battle to protect the people of the world, no one escaped and survived!
There was shock in Jiang Liqian's eyes, as if it should be so, relief, worry and anxiety.
These fellow disciples had followed Yun Ruyi out to gain experience and complete missions. Their own cultivation was not high, and most of them had just entered the foundation-building stage. The highest level was just like her, the middle stage of foundation-building. Even City Lord Zhao couldn't stop the Moon Spider, so how could they possibly escape unscathed?
But... looking at the message from Master in the jade token...
Jiang Liqian tightened her grip on the jade token and said to them, "Give me a quarter of an hour, and I'll break the formation."
The fellow disciples nodded in agreement without any hesitation. They immediately formed a battle formation and rushed towards Yue Zhu, fighting with her.
Jiang Liqian didn't dare to waste time and quickly flew towards the jade cocoon in the center of the forbidden formation.
The master replied on the jade token that this forbidden formation was the tenth-ranked Immortal Transformation Formation among the red-numbered demon formations that could steal souls and absorb lifespans. It could demand a person's soul, absorb their lifespan, and pour it into a well-nourished body, thereby achieving the purpose of "resurrecting" the person.
However, once this kind of forbidden formation is opened, the killing sin is extremely serious. No matter what the purpose of the person who sets up the formation is, he will be targeted by the heavenly punishment. The moment the forbidden formation disappears, the person who set up the formation will be reduced to ashes.
The resurrected person, because he carries the life span and soul of another person in his body, will have a very unstable life force and will not be able to withstand too much shock, so he may "die" again at any time.
Even if he is carefully protected, his life span will not be long. At most, in ten years, his body will decay and it will be irreversible.
There are only two ways to break the Immortal Transformation Formation: either kill all the "sacrifices" of the formation, or use external force to destroy the center of the formation.
The core of the Immortal Transformation Formation is the "dead person" who receives the soul fragments and lifespan.
The Immortal Transformation Formation will backfire the moment the center of the formation is destroyed, changing from absorbing the souls and lifespans of others to the person in the center of the formation to passing the souls and lifespans of the person in the center of the formation to the person who sacrifices the formation.
So what Jiang Liqian had to do was to destroy the "eye of the formation" and leave the Immortal Transformation Formation in time to avoid being attacked by the formation.
Just now, City Lord Zhao had attempted to destroy the jade cocoon in the center of the formation, but even with his full-strength attack, the cocoon remained intact. Jiang Liqian didn't believe he had abilities more powerful than those of a Divine Transformation cultivator.
But she can take a different approach.
Since she couldn't break the jade cocoon, she would "leave" the Immortal Transformation Formation with the jade cocoon.
If the Immortal Transformation Formation loses its core, it will naturally collapse on its own.
Start doing it when you think of it.
Jiang Liqian used twelve golden beads to transform into a rope, tightly wrapped it around the jade cocoon, and then pulled it hard out of the Immortal Transformation Formation.
Unfortunately, although she had good intentions, she ignored the horror of the Immortal Transformation Formation and her own shallow cultivation.
As soon as her golden beads wrapped around the jade cocoon, the Immortal Transformation Formation sensed her intention. Countless red silk threads emerged from the formation, quickly wrapped around the jade cocoon, and then wrapped around the golden beads from the jade cocoon, and then climbed up her arm.
The intense stinging pain, accompanied by a dizzy feeling as if her soul was being pulled, made her unable to stand and she knelt on the ground as if exhausted.
As she fell to the ground, countless red lines scrambled towards her like poisonous snakes smelling food.
It was as if it was going to suck out her life and soul.
Jiang Liqian's pupils shrank slightly, but she couldn't afford to retreat now. She summoned the Soul-Suppressing Pearl, and its dark blue light shone brightly.
The spiritual power turned into countless blades and shot out from around the spirit bead, "swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" frantically cutting off the red lines that kept crawling over, and at the same time cutting off the red lines that were entangled with the jade cocoon.
Jiang Liqian found the right moment, endured the pain of her soul being torn apart, grabbed one end of the golden bead rope, and pulled it out with force.
The jade cocoon was pulled, but the counterattack of the Immortal Transformation Formation was even more fierce. A red line as thick as a vine suddenly emerged from the formation and tightly wrapped around the jade cocoon.
At this moment, the Zhenlingzhu alone was no longer able to cut such a thick red line, and the situation was at a stalemate.
Just when Jiang Liqian was thinking about whether to try the lightning formation and fight to the death, a huge force suddenly knocked her out of the Immortal Transformation Formation. At the same time, the jade cocoon was also knocked out by this force, and the red rope as thick as a vine broke directly.
who is it? !
Jiang Liqian got up from the ground in a panic. Through the dim moonlight, she saw Zhao Yue, who was supposed to be escaping from reality in Shuiwan Mountain, appear here.
He used all his strength to push her and Yu Jian out of the formation, but the Immortal Transformation Formation instantly backfired, and dense red lines covered most of his body like a spider web in a breath.
"Zhao Yue!" Jiang Liqian was shocked and immediately wanted to rush in to save him, but was stopped by the other party.
"Don't come in. This is my retribution. I will bear it myself!"
Feeling the rapid loss of spiritual power in his body, the dizzy feeling of being lightheaded, and the pain of his soul being torn apart, Zhao Yue probably guessed something. He smiled bitterly, then raised his relieved eyes and looked at the girl in front of him who was covered in dust and pale, but still trying to save him.
“I want to atone for my sins, Miss Jiang.
"If possible, spare Aunt Shanshan's life. I am willing to sacrifice everything and not enter the cycle of reincarnation."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was completely buried by the red line.
At the last moment, he chose those twelve innocent children. He knew the damage he had done to them was irreparable, and he also knew that he had ultimately let down his friends, but what could he do? He simply couldn't let go of anyone, so he could only sink into hell to atone for his sins.
"Zhao Yue!"
Jiang Liqian pounced forward, and the dazzling red light turned into a barrier, blocking her out. She could only watch as the tall and strong man was eaten away and drained away bit by bit, and finally turned into a skeleton, and then turned into ashes. When the wind blew, there was nothing left.
After the Immortal Transformation Formation "ate" Zhao Yue, the red light changed to a light green. The soul fragments fed back and gradually repaired the cracks in the souls of the twelve children. The little bit of life that was absorbed also returned to them.
Jiang Liqian couldn't explain the feeling in her heart. She covered her eyes in a daze and walked over quickly to take the twelve children away from the dangerous situation.
However, seeing that there was no hope of resurrecting her child, Yue Zhu, who had been supporting herself with the last bit of hope, finally disappeared. She stared blankly at the rosy face of the child in the jade cocoon below, and black air swarmed out from her body.
