All the cultivators present could sense that the main force suppressing this new aura was the Soul Locking Banner.
Worthy of being Star Palace's treasure that safeguarded the sect, it could actually suppress the aura of something on the verge of the Out-of-Body Realm.
The Broken Blade emerged right afterward, but only in a supporting posture. It did not seem inclined to interfere recklessly.
With the situation still unclear, this was the steadiest response. After all, once it turned into a chaotic melee, the result might be less than the sum of its parts.
For the two magical treasures to coordinate to this extent, the research team had clearly developed good synergy over these past days.
At the same time, Dao Talismans and light-attribute and Thunder Art spells rained down toward the source of the aura.
Since it was called the Encircle Devil Grand Array, its most basic function was certainly reliable. Attacking from outside the array was easy enough.
But the problem was that the aura was resisting the pressure head-on and still slowly growing stronger.
Then Claire shouted, "Spirit stones! We need High-Grade Spirit Stones... Consumption is rapidly increasing!"
The Encircle Devil Grand Array had always been a massive consumer of spirit stones, but Red Leaf Ridge could barely sustain the daily expenditure of less than a hundred thousand spirit stones.
Especially if everyone worked a little harder, batches of ordinary spirit stones would suffice. When they occasionally wanted to slack off, they would use Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
But now that the array's consumption had surged, Medium Spirit Stones were definitely no longer enough. The High-Grade Spirit Stones prepared in advance finally came into use.
Yet with this aura forcing its way against the array, how could the array's spirit stone consumption be merely a hundred times greater
