Chapter 318: The Reappearance of Qingwen
“Junior Brother Han is truly extraordinary, finding a loophole so quickly? What kind of flaw is it?” Liu Jing praised, then asked kindly.
Han Li smiled faintly and suddenly handed over the crystal ball in his hand.
“Senior Brother, just use this Purple Light Sphere and look in this direction; you’ll see it,” Han Li said, pointing to the direction he had been gazing at earlier.
Curious, Liu Jing took the magical artifact and carefully peered into the crystal ball.
As he looked, Han Li’s expression shifted to one of surprise. After a moment, he handed the crystal ball back to Han Li and lowered his head to ponder.
A while later, he raised his head and said to the others who were anxiously waiting:
“Junior Brother Han is right. For some reason, the spiritual energy fluctuations in this direction are very different from other places—much thinner, it seems. It looks like the enemy hastily set up their formation and exposed a flaw that shouldn’t have been there,” Liu Jing said, his voice growing louder with confidence.
“So, Senior Brother Liu means…” Senior Sister Chen Qiaoqian couldn’t help but ask.
“Concentrate all magical artifacts and attack this weak point together. I believe it won’t take much magical power to break this formation,” Liu Jing said with certainty.
“Then let’s act quickly!” As soon as Song Meng heard this, he impatiently raised his hand, releasing the Blue Silk Greatsword, which hovered above his head.
The others also looked eager after hearing Liu Jing’s words.
Seeing this, Liu Jing no longer hesitated and said:
“Good! Let’s strike. We must break this formation and show them what they’re up against.”
With these words, over a dozen magical artifacts emitted dazzling light as they flew from their owners, shooting straight toward the weak spot.
…
Outside, the Ice Demon was anxiously directing the cultists to form various encirclement formations.
Since the Black Death Cult Leader demanded the four great blood attendants, the palace had been on high alert recently. Normally, only two blood attendants should be on duty at a time.
But Leaf Snake, who was supposed to guard the gate with him, arrogantly thought highly of the recent great merit he’d earned and used the excuse of soon entering the mid foundation establishment stage to sneak off to the Blood Prison for training. Not wanting to offend this rising star among the four blood attendants, the Ice Demon turned a blind eye and tacitly accepted it.
But this momentary neglect meant that now, with so many powerful enemies invading, only he stood at the gate to face them.
Luckily, he was clever!
He first trapped the intruders in the Four Symbols Formation, then immediately sent people to summon the other three from the Blood Prison and the rear hall.
He knew all too well that the qi refining stage cultists before him were no match for so many strong enemies. But, thanks to the Four Symbols Formation, several enemy cultivators were trapped inside, buying some time.
As long as there was a bit of a time buffer, the other three blood attendants would arrive in time.
Then, united, the four blood attendants would make him fearless.
Just as he was thinking this, a rumbling noise echoed from within the Four Symbols Formation.
With the sound, the thick white mist inside the formation boiled violently, as if the formation was about to break at any moment.
“What’s going on? The Four Symbols Formation can’t possibly fail so quickly. Something must be wrong!” The Ice Demon’s pale face hid in the cold mist, turning a bit green.
“Lord Ice, the enemy’s attack was too sudden. Several disciples who were managing the formation have already died. So, currently, there aren’t enough hands to maintain the Four Symbols Formation. The enemy probably discovered a flaw,” a nearby Black Death Cult disciple cautiously explained.
Hearing this, the Ice Demon was furious and about to scold them loudly, but a gentle voice called from behind.
