After confirming that Lu Damin had left, Ji Nanshu did not rush forward, but sent the little paper figure to scout ahead first.
Following the direction Ji Nanshu pointed, the little paper figure huffed and puffed as it sprinted a hundred meters.
About half an hour later, the little paper figure returned.
It gestured wildly for a long time, looking particularly anxious.
Ji Nanshu narrowed his eyes slightly. "You mean there's someone behind you?"
The little paper figure nodded frantically, signaling Ji Nanshu to follow it.
After Ji Nanshu calmed his breathing, the little paper figure led him around the center of the Ji Nanshu and down a side path for several dozen meters until they reached an iron gate. The gate was locked with a combination lock.
It's quite advanced.
"Go in and open the door for me."
The little paper figure made an "OK" sign, darted through the gap, and two seconds later, with a click, the door opened.
It stinks! The smell of blood is so strong!
After the door opened, there was a downward staircase leading to a stone chamber, which was filled with people. In the very center of the crowd stood a blood-red skull statue.
All of these people had their eyes closed, and both of their wrists had been cut open, with blood slowly dripping from their fingertips to the ground, where it was absorbed within seconds.
Ji Nanshu stood at the top of the stairs and immediately spotted Pei Huai, who stood out from the crowd.
He walked to Pei Huai's side, and as a golden light entered his body, Pei Huai slowly opened his eyes.
Just as he was about to speak, Ji Nanshu covered his mouth. "Don't move, don't speak."
After quickly bandaging Pei Huai's wrist wound, he whispered, "Can you still walk?"
Pei Huai nodded to indicate that he could walk.
"Follow the little paper figure and leave first. Take this talisman with you; it can conceal your presence. After you go down the mountain, go to the village chief's house; Brother Cheng is there."
"My second brother and Chunlu aren't here. I need to go find them and the Destroyer Formation first."
After receiving the answer, Pei Huai didn't delay and got up to follow the little paper figure out.
He was lucky to survive after losing so much blood; he's just a burden here.
After Pei Huai left, Ji Nanshu headed up the stairs on the other side of the stone chamber.
If he wasn't mistaken, there were four more of the same stone chambers.
" Jia Peng, are you sure the Celestial Masters Association will send someone?"
A familiar female voice reached Ji Nanshu's ears. Hmm, it was the woman in high heels from Ange Village last time.
Jia Peng raised his eyelids. "Definitely. They can't possibly allow the Soul Sacrifice Array to exist. Anyway, this lord said that as long as forty-nine Soul Sacrifice Array can be activated, that's enough. Using this array to exchange for the lives of a few Celestial Masters from the Celestial Masters Association is a very good deal."
"Besides, having collected so much essence and yin energy, losing this formation wouldn't be a loss."
Not a loss?
Ha, today I'll show you what it means to lose both your wife and your army, to inflict a thousand wounds on the enemy while losing eighteen thousand of your own.
On the other side.
Less than two minutes after Ji Nanshu went up the mountain, Chu Mo, along with the Celestial Masters Association and temporarily dispatched troops, urgently evacuated the people of Yangshui Village under the pretext of a possible earthquake.
Si Yuanhua, along with his son Si Yingwei, disciple Yu Bohui, and granddaughter Si Dai, began setting up an array at the border of Yangshui Village to minimize casualties should the Soul Sacrifice Array be activated.
After Chu Mo finished assigning the task, he prepared to go up the mountain to find Ji Nanshu, but Si Yuanhua stopped him. "Mr. Chu, let Yingwei go up the mountain with you. In case you encounter the Celestial Master, he can help you."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a loud "boom" was heard in the distance, and some loose rocks slid down the mountainside, but fortunately not many.
Chu Mo's expression changed, and he ran wildly up the mountain.
Si Yingwei: "..."
No, Mr. Chu, wait a minute, with his old arms and legs like that!!
On the mountain.
The woman in high heels spat viciously, " Ji Nanshu! You're the one who ruined my plans last time!"
"You killed my Nana! I'll make you pay for my Nana's life!!"
As she spoke, the woman played her flute, and countless poisonous insects swarmed out from behind her, crawling rapidly toward Ji Nanshu.
You'd better worry about your own life first.
Ji Nanshu smiled and sent out a fire talisman. With a hiss, the swarm of poisonous insects struggled in the sea of fire.
The woman sneered, "You don't think that's all I'm capable of, do you?"
"Oh, you mean your Snake Gu?" Ji Nanshu raised his hand, pinching a small snake between his index finger and thumb. With a forceful squeeze, the snake broke in two.
With a gentle wave of his other hand, a burst of energy shot towards the woman.
The woman couldn't dodge in time, and the force of the energy blasted a bloody hole in her right shoulder!
Just who is this Ji Nanshu?! He's actually unafraid of her Snake Gu!
"You're asking for death!" The woman's face turned extremely ugly, and she simply abandoned the use of Gu worms to attack, opting for close combat.
The woman approached with a dagger, but before it even touched Ji Nanshu's clothes, there was a loud bang, and the woman let out a scream.
It was Chu Mo rushed over and shot the woman in the left shoulder.
"My dear, are you alright?!" Chu Mo grabbed Ji Nanshu's shoulder, his voice urgent.
Ji Nanshu shook his head. "I'm fine. Have the people from the Celestial Masters Association arrived?"
"They're here. Set up an array outside Yangshui Village." After saying this, Chu Mo looked at the disheveled woman lying on the ground and fired two more shots into her legs.
Woman: "...?" Are you crazy?! She's already so badly injured, and you're still hitting her?!
Ji Nanshu: "Leave them alive."
"Um."
"Mr. Chu... Mr. Chu!" Only then did Si Yingwei realize, panting, that getting old really does mean losing physical strength.
" Mr. Ji, I am Si Yingwei. I'm going to destroy the formation; can you handle these two?"
"Trying to destroy our formation?! You'll have to get past me first!"
Jia Peng glanced at the woman lying motionless on the ground and spoke disdainfully.
Yu Yao, that useless thing! Women really can't accomplish anything!
Ji Nanshu waved his hand. "I can handle it alone. A-Mo, you and Mr. Si go and destroy the formation. My second brother is still inside, as is Chunlu. Be quick, the others inside should still be saved."
"My sweet baby..."
"I promise, nothing will happen."
After receiving the assurance, Chu Mo and Si Yingwei quickly moved away from the battlefield.
Jia Peng sent a puppet to stop them, Chu Mo intercepted it and said to Si Yingwei, "Go and destroy the formation first!"
Si Yingwei continued charging forward without any hesitation.
"Useless!" Jia Peng cursed, trying to stop Si Yingwei, but was blocked by Ji Nanshu.
"Why are you running? Are you afraid that not only will the Soul Sacrifice Array be destroyed, but the people from the Celestial Masters Association won't be killed either?"
Ji Nanshu kicked Yu Yao in front of Jia Peng.
"Aaaaaaah, Ji Nanshu, I'm going to kill you!!!" No one paid any attention to Yu Yao's threats.
Ignoring her completely, Jia Peng stepped on Yu Yao's chest and changed direction to attack Ji Nanshu.
The wronged Yu Yao: "..."
Sooner or later, they'll kill that idiot Jia Peng too.
