Ancient Secrets

"An unusual formation?"

Yao Chen and Xiao Xuan exchanged a glance, both finding it utterly absurd.

There was actually a formation beneath a city under their jurisdiction that even they, the people in charge, did not know about? What kind of leaders were they supposed to be?!

"I'll investigate it first."

Yao Chen's face tightened as he immediately closed his eyes. The vast power unique to an Emperor Realm Soul poured forth like an endless river, swiftly extending beyond the Xiao Realm.

It stretched, stretched, and stretched farther.

It spread, spread, and spread farther.

The terrifying power of an Emperor Realm Soul was more than enough to support him. He easily scanned every city within the Four Square Pavilions' sphere of influence, and he did so at incredible speed.

"I'll take a look as well."

Xiao Xuan nodded at Xiao Yan, then held his breath and focused, entering a special state.

Yao Chen opened his eyes with an ugly expression.

"I may know where that formation came from."

Xiao Xuan had awakened at some point as well, his face equally grave.

"The Soul-Devouring Absolute Life Array, an exceptionally vicious formation from ancient times. It can turn all living beings within its coverage into blood, then forcibly extract energy from that blood. However, because this formation was far too cruel and sinister, the experts of that era destroyed every last one of them. I never expected to see it again today."

Xiao Xuan sighed.

"The Soul-Devouring Absolute Life Array? How dare they! Of the three hundred cities under the Four Square Pavilions' jurisdiction, nearly seventy have had this formation planted beneath them. Despicable! Who set up such formations
