Chapter 172 Breaking the Formation
Li Erhu's body was now lying on the ground, intact as a whole. How could his soul be scattered? The Soul-Binding Lamp could not catch his soul, so there was only one reason, that is, his soul might have been caught by someone the moment he died.
She has no spiritual power now and cannot sense it, but Uncle Master Yu and Uncle Master Chu cannot sense it either.
Jiang Lisheng felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet. It was indeed as her master had said, she could not stay here for long.
Yu Wuchen didn't hear Jiang Lisheng speak again, and his tone became heavier, "Who is next to you? Where is Chu Bitumen? Let him talk to me."
Yu Congrong spoke at this time: "Master Yu, I am Yu Congrong from Kunlun. I am here, and Senior Brother Chu is testing the medicine."
Yu Wuchen said immediately: "Master Yu, call Chu Bitumen, you quickly take everyone away, immediately, otherwise you should know that the soul-binding lamp cannot catch the soul of the newly dead, and you are all unaware of it, what does this mean?"
Yu Congrong looked solemn, "I understand, Sect Master Yu, don't worry, I will take them away now."
She looked at Jiang Lisheng and said, "Listen to Sect Master Yu, we will leave immediately."
Jiang Lisheng looked around. The people of South City came alive because of their arrival. They were no longer walking corpses. She had said earlier that she would try to save them and let them believe her words, but now she knew very clearly that she could not save them. There were only a few people left who tried the medicine in front of Xi Jili. A large number of people died from her elixir.
She nodded calmly, "Uncle Yu, let's go."
Yu Congrong was relieved to see that she knew what was important and went to look for Chu Bitumen quickly.
Jiang Lisheng stood quietly, watching Yu Congrong find Chu Bitumen. After a few words, he made Chu Bitumen nod his head, took out the flying shuttle, and then called all the disciples of Qingxu Kunlun to get on the shuttle. He then watched Xi Jili finally make a bottle of pills, watched him drink it, then put away the other pills that he had not tried, and walked towards her.
Behind him, the person who had just drunk the pill did not die immediately.
Jiang Lisheng opened his eyes wide and was about to leave immediately.
Xi Jili grabbed her and said, "Sister, I just heard what Uncle Yu said. Let's go."
His men used force to drag Jiang Lisheng onto the shuttle.
Jiang Lisheng turned around and said, "Bring them up here. Save as many of those people as possible."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw those people fall down, and her pupils shrank.
Xi Jili closed the shuttle door and said, "Master, let's go."
The shuttle took off instantly at an extremely fast speed, but when it left the sky above South City, it hit an invisible barrier with a "bang". The shuttle trembled violently and fell backwards.
Yu Congrong's expression changed immediately, "It's a formation. The entire South City has been set up as a large formation."
Jiang Lisheng lowered his head, bit his finger, and called out, "Uncle Chu."
Chu Bitumen immediately mobilized her spiritual power, activated her blood with sword energy, aimed her sword forward, and slashed out. Xi Jili came to her aid, and the two sword energies, with a "click", broke through the invisible barrier. The shuttle penetrated the broken barrier and flew out of South City.
Yu Congrong was stunned for a moment.
Everyone looked at the swords in Chu Bitumen and Xi Jili's hands.
Jiang Lisheng retracted her fingers into her sleeves, said nothing, opened her storage ring, took out a bottle of pills, poured out a pill, and swallowed it. As she swallowed the pill, the wound on her bitten finger healed quickly, and when she stretched out her sleeves again, there was no scar.
Lu Shaoling opened his mouth and asked in surprise: "What happened just now? Were we stopped by something?"
Zhu Wenyin looked at Yu Congrong, "Uncle Yu said it was a formation? We were just trapped in a formation?"
Yu Congrong didn't answer, but looked at Chu Bitumen, "Brother Chu, you're so quick." Chu Bitumen sheathed his sword and nodded in acknowledgement, "It's a formation. I don't know when it was set up, maybe before we came to Hexin City, or maybe after we came to Hexin City. The sect leader is right, we shouldn't stay here for long."
Lu Shaoling said: "Since the formation was broken by Uncle Chu and Junior Brother Xi's combined swords, it can be seen that the person who set up the formation is not very powerful."
Upon hearing this, Yu Congrong reprimanded his apprentice, "What do you know? Whether this formation was set up before we arrived and was silently activated, or it was set up after we arrived, how can you say that this formation is not powerful if it can be set up silently?"
She paused, looked at Jiang Lisheng, her eyes fell on her fingers which were free of any blood, and said nothing else.
Lu Shaoling was scolded by his master and shrank his neck. He still didn't quite understand. He turned his head and asked Jiang Lisheng, "Junior Sister Jiang, why did you bite your finger just now? Sect Master Yu practices both sword and formation. You also know formations, right? Were you breaking the formation with Uncle Chu and Junior Brother Xi just now? Did you use formations to fight formations?"
He looked confused but deeply shocked. "Junior Sister Jiang, you are so amazing. If anyone says you are not amazing again, I will be the first to disagree."
Jiang Lisheng didn't know what to say. How could she use a formation to fight a formation? It was just that her blood could break all the formations. She was in no mood to discuss with Lu Shaoling whether she was powerful or not. She could only nod and look down through the shuttle window.
I saw that the entire Hexin City, starting from the South City where they left, was suddenly on fire after they broke through the formation and left. It was not even the required midnight yet, and someone had the ability to burn down the city in an instant.
Jiang Lisheng held the edge of the shuttle with his hand, looking at the flames rising into the sky, very silent.
Everyone saw it and fell silent.
The shuttle left quickly, leaving Hexincheng behind in the blink of an eye. Without the hell on earth, without the flames rising into the sky, there were only clouds and green mountains outside the window.
After staring blankly for a long while, Jiang Lisheng retracted his gaze and fixed his eyes on Xi Jili, "Junior brother, you've also noticed it, right? The poison in those people who fell down was clearly eliminated with the naked eye."
Xi Jili nodded.
Jiang Lisheng added: "But they died."
Xi Jili said, "Perhaps someone noticed that you used the Soul Binding Lamp, so the formation was activated. Those mortals will die, even if your elixir can cure the poison."
He reached out his hand from his sleeve and handed a bottle of pills to Jiang Lisheng, "Senior sister, I kept two of these pills. They are the pills you almost poisoned a fellow senior to death with. Because of this pill, the senior uncles and uncles from all the peaks almost turned against the sect master and ordered you not to make pills in the future."
Jiang Lisheng took it and said, "Master said that my comprehension of alchemy cannot be destroyed. I argued with my uncles and seniors for three days. Master said that poison pills are also pills. Since they are successful, then I have this comprehension in the way of alchemy. I remember that this furnace of successful pills was my best performance. Not a single pill was wasted. Every pill was beautiful."
"Every time Junior Sister Jiang makes a pill, the more beautiful it is, the more inedible it is." A senior brother who had suffered greatly from this, named Song Qi, came over and said.
"But who would have thought that this elixir could cure the poison." Xi Jili said, "Although we failed to save the person, it was not in vain."
Song Qi nodded and asked Jiang Lisheng, "Junior Sister Jiang, do you still remember the recipe for this pill you made?"
Jiang Lisheng nodded, "I roughly remember."
Song Qi was anxious, "Don't make any plans."
Lou Qianyi pushed Song Qi, "Brother Song, who was the one who did not want me to make pills anymore like all the other brothers? Now you have the nerve to ask me if I remember the recipe?"
Song Qi sat back and whispered, "Who could have known at that time that Junior Sister Jiang's elixir could be so useful?"
Lou Qianyi pouted at him, pushed him away, sat down next to Jiang Lisheng, and comforted her, "Senior sister, there is obviously someone powerful behind this Hexin City who is plotting something. Maybe it's the Heavenly Master trusted by King Zhou. Although we failed to save the people in South City, we saved tens of thousands of people in North City, and the elixir you made was proven to be useful, which means our trip was not in vain. Don't feel bad."
Monthly ticket, huh?
