The Soul-Bewildering Formation
"Since that person is so powerful, why not just take action directly and wipe out this tree demon completely?"
Judge Wen turned around, somewhat puzzled.
In his opinion, since the opponent was so powerful, they should be more decisive and simply eliminate them completely.
"Perhaps seeing that we've arrived has made him decide against making a move."
The City God thought for a moment after hearing this.
He only saw the sword fall from afar, its momentum immense.
When they arrived, they saw that the tree spirit was already in this state.
As for the rest, he knew nothing.
But thinking about it, it's probably because the other side felt that after striking with their sword and seeing that they had arrived, they wanted to leave the matter to them.
Upon hearing Judge Wen subconsciously turned around to glance at Fang Zelin, who was still standing there, and then nodded seriously.
"That must be it. That person is still standing there, seemingly a bit worried about us. If we can't even clean up this mess, they might make a move."
Upon hearing this, the City God turned around and saw that it was indeed true.
The True Person was leaning against the tree trunk, looking over here with such a nonchalant attitude that he clearly didn't take the tree demon seriously.
The tree spirit that had rendered them so helpless was being treated with such indifference by the other party?
"Mortals are approaching this way; it seems the sword strike just now has also caught their attention."
The Martial Judge glanced around and immediately saw countless mortals approaching from afar.
"Set up Soul-Bewildering Formation, and don't let these people get close. These mortals are no match for the tree demon; if they get too close, they will surely be drained of their energy to help the tree demon recover its strength."
Upon seeing this, the City God immediately spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The underworld official immediately went to set up the formation.
A moment later, however, a white mist rose up all around, obscuring the surroundings.
Seeing that the formation was in place, the City God and the others immediately doubled their efforts to lock down the tree demon.
All they need to do is uproot the tree demon, and it will be burned to ashes in the heavenly fire.
"What's going on? Why is it foggy? I can't see anything!"
At this moment, outside the fog, a group of martial arts practitioners who had rushed over felt dizzy and disoriented after entering the fog, unable to discern their direction.
"Could it be because of that sword just now? I could hear a deep, rumbling sound from far away when that sword struck."
"I heard that too! Do you think this could be an immortal? If it is an immortal, why would it suddenly cut the sword? It seems a bit unbelievable!"
In the mist, the group of people were whispering among themselves.
However, as they walked, the group emerged from the fog.
Suddenly, the view opened up, and the group was stunned for a moment. Just as they thought they had emerged from the fog, they looked closer and realized that this was another path leading into the mountains.
How did I manage to pull myself out of it?
The group exchanged glances, feeling somewhat puzzled, but immediately turned and walked into the mist.
However, a moment later, when they emerged from another path, everyone immediately realized something was wrong—this fog... something was wrong!
"This tree demon is much easier to deal with once its roots are uprooted."
Fang Zelin leaned against the tree trunk, slowly recovering.
Seeing the City God and his underworld officials busy eliminating the tree demon in the distance, I breathed a sigh of relief.
His original plan was to retreat immediately after making one strike.
Unexpectedly, this sword strike completely hollowed him out.
Fortunately, the City God came to their aid and continued to eradicate the tree demon.
Judging from the current situation, this tree spirit is doomed.
However, this tree demon's cultivation was truly unfathomable; fortunately, it had the assistance of heavenly fire.
After Fang Zelin recovered a little, the main body of the tree demon was finally pulled out by the combined efforts of the City God, and then struggled and burned in the heavenly fire.
Fang Zelin slowly stepped forward, looking at the white bones that had been turned upside down on the ground, and felt a sense of suffocation for a moment.
Where the heavenly fire burned, countless skeletons were buried underground, layer upon layer.
Aside from humans, there are quite a few animals, and I wonder if there are any fairies among them.
"Many thanks to the immortal for his help; otherwise, we would have been able to easily eliminate this thousand-year-old tree demon."
Upon seeing Fang Zelin approach, the City God immediately led his entourage to greet Fang Zelin, bowing and thanking him.
This guy is True Immortal! He made them clean up the mess with a single sword strike.
Only after everything was tidied up did they step forward.
If it weren't for that sword strike, this tree demon would have been impossible to eliminate.
"You're too kind. I only struck because I saw this tree demon slaughtering countless people and trying to trick the people of Yuanqing Prefecture into coming here to put out the fire."
"Thanks to everyone's help, we were able to annihilate this demon."
Seeing the other party's politeness, Fang Zelin quickly returned the greeting.
The City God and his entourage were quite pleased with what he had said.
Look, this is what a master is like. They could clearly have killed the demon themselves, but they insist on saying it was all thanks to them.
They were just there to clean up the mess.
"What the immortal says is true. This tree Demon Cultivator for a thousand years, secretly harming countless people. Its cultivation is unfathomable. Recently, the people in Yuanqing Prefecture have become unusually united."
"If they were truly deceived, given the combined strength of the people in Yuanqing Prefecture, they would certainly do everything in their power to help put out the fire. It seems that the tree demon saw this and that's why it planned to deceive them."
"Once they are deceived, a steady stream of people will come to help put out the fire. With this help, the tree demon will be able to secretly kill people to replenish its strength. Once it gets through this ordeal, it will surely become a monstrous demon."
As the City God finished speaking, his face was filled with lingering fear.
Fang Zelin was startled upon hearing this; he hadn't considered this possibility before.
Hearing what the City God said, and considering the attitude of the people of Yuanqing Prefecture, if they knew that the tree demon had promised such benefits, they would probably rush to put out the fire one after another.
Even if some people die at that time, no one will care.
At that time, the tree demon will not only be able to continuously suck human blood, but will also be able to use this to get through this ordeal. It's truly terrifying to think about.
Fortunately, the tree demon was finally destroyed.
"Immortal Master, there are still many wronged souls here. We need to take them back to the City God so we can visit and express our gratitude another day, is that alright?"
City God spoke, he glanced at the wronged souls beside him.
These wronged souls were previously enslaved by the tree demon, and now that the tree demon has been killed, they must be taken to the Underworld Bureau.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin immediately nodded. He had just witnessed the other party setting up the formation and had also entertained the idea.
The formation the opponent set up is called Soul-Bewildering Formation, right?
Let's see if we can ask the other party to teach him this formation.
In this way, there will be an array formation at the foot of Yingping Peak!
With this in mind, Fang Zelin stopped bothering the other party, cupped his hands in greeting, turned and stepped into the mist, his figure disappearing from sight.
This fog can confuse mortals, but it has no effect on him.
