Chapter 173 Soul Locking Array

Jiang Lisheng initially saw that the people clearly did not want to die, but told her they were not afraid. After taking the medicine, they fell down one by one, and it was indeed very uncomfortable.

But now that she knew she couldn't be saved, even if there was an antidote, she still couldn't be saved, so she didn't feel bad anymore. Since she had used up all her strength and there was nothing she could do, why should she bother herself?

What she should be thinking is, who is the person who set up such a murderous array in Hexin City? Is it really the Heavenly Master trusted by King Zhou in the court? Does he really have such great power? What does he want to do?
The souls of tens of thousands of people were collected, and for what?
Seeing Jiang Lisheng remained silent, Lou Qianyi reached out and hugged her, "Senior Sister, although we are cultivators, we are not real gods. It is not our fault that we cannot save people. It is the people who did evil behind the scenes. They are so abominable. They are not afraid of being struck by lightning for committing such a sin."

Jiang Lisheng reached out and patted her, "I'm not upset. It's really not our fault that we couldn't save people."

Lou Qianyi let go of her and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's great that you think this way, Senior Sister. I don't know who it is that has such extraordinary abilities to set up such a large formation. It's ok that we didn't notice it because of our low cultivation level. Even Senior Uncle Yu and Senior Uncle Chu didn't notice it. Fortunately, the Sect Master told us to leave quickly."

She asked, "Are we just going to leave now? Are we not going to investigate this matter?"

Jiang Lisheng said nothing and looked at Yu Congrong and Chu Bitumen. She naturally wanted to check, but because she had no spiritual power now and was the one holding others back, she could not act on her own.

Yu Congrong didn't say anything. Fleeing was never her style, but she was trapped in the formation of Hexin City silently without noticing. It was such a powerful formation. Master Yu asked them to leave quickly, so they had to leave quickly. As for whether to go back and investigate, she couldn't make up her mind.

After all, she knew clearly that if Jiang Lisheng hadn't bitten his finger, Chu Bitumen and Xi Jili would not have been able to break the formation by wielding their swords together using her blood. Although she didn't understand what the relationship was between breaking the formation and Jiang Lisheng's blood, she just knew that there must be a connection.

Chu Bitumen was also unsure. He knew better than anyone that only Jiang Lisheng's blood could break the formation. If Jiang Lisheng hadn't been here today, they might all have been burned to death in this formation. Neither he nor Yu Congrong would have been able to escape.

He didn't speak for a moment.

At this time, Jiang Lisheng's communication card lit up. She lowered her head and clicked it. Yu Wuchen's voice came, "Did you leave safely?"

Jiang Lisheng replied, "We left. Master, you are right. Someone set up a formation in Hexin City at some point. Maybe it was there before we entered Hexin City, but we just didn't notice it. When Uncle Chu's shuttle took us away, it ran into the already activated formation. Uncle Chu and Junior Brother Xi worked together to break the formation, so we were able to leave smoothly."

Yu Wuchen asked: "What kind of formation is it?"

Jiang Lisheng replied: "It is a formation that can make the souls of tens of thousands of people in Hexin City leave their bodies instantly. After we break the formation, a sky-high flame will ignite in the blink of an eye, which can destroy everything and turn it into ashes."

Yu Wuchen said: "It's the Soul Locking Formation."

He didn't need to see it with his own eyes to know that it was probably his apprentice's blood that was the real reason for breaking the formation. After all, neither Chu Bitumen nor Xi Jili were good at formations. He said in a bad tone, "The Soul Locking Formation is a unique formation in the ghost world that is used to detain tens of thousands of ghosts. It was lost after the ancient war between gods and demons."

Jiang Lisheng was suspicious, "Is it the Soul Locking Formation? Does that mean the ghost world is causing trouble?" "It's hard to say." Yu Wuchen didn't jump to conclusions, "Logically speaking, under the Soul Binding Lamp, even if it's a Soul Locking Formation, it can still capture the soul you want to find, but the Soul Binding Lamp was useless at the time. So, it's hard to say whether it's a real Soul Locking Formation or just an appearance, a formation within a formation."

He didn't see it with his own eyes, so he could only guess based on Jiang Lisheng's retelling, and he couldn't be sure.

Jiang Lisheng had an urge to turn back. Because they left too quickly and she was sitting in the shuttle, she couldn't see the entire Hexin City clearly. "Then can we go back and take a look?"

"What are you looking at? Do you think you are lucky enough?" Yu Wuchen said, "Do you also want to become a wronged spirit and be collected by others? Don't think that you can break through the formation and leave, and then go back and you will be safe."

Jiang Lisheng could only give up the idea of ​​going back, "But Master, who is so powerful? If he is causing trouble in the world, won't we investigate?"

She briefly told Yu Wuchen what happened today, and then said, "Could it be the Heavenly Master trusted by King Zhou? It was he who persuaded King Zhou to burn the city. Judging from the situation today, if we don't save the tens of thousands of people in North City, this formation will probably be activated at midnight. Regardless of whether Zheng Feng listens to the king's orders or not, the souls of the people in the entire Hexin City will be taken. Now that we have interfered, the person who set up the formation should have noticed us, so he silently activated the formation in advance, hoping to burn us all in the formation."

"Yeah." Yu Wuchen admitted that what she said made some sense, "The Heavenly Master beside the mortal emperor is probably involved."

Jiang Lisheng wanted to meet the Heavenly Master, "Then..."

"You go to Qixuanmen first. This sect is close to Hexincheng, only half a day's journey away. Go and see what's going on with Qixuanmen first. Hexincheng has made such a big commotion, Qixuanmen should not be completely unaware of it, but why didn't they report it?" Yu Wuchen ordered, "By the way, meet up with your uncle Hua. I heard that Master Mo of Kunlun Deacon Hall also went to Qixuanmen. After you meet up, we will see what the situation is. As for the Heavenly Master next to King Zhou in the mortal world, I will send someone to investigate. You saved tens of thousands of people and sent them to Yunshan City. King Zhou will naturally find Qingxu, and I will take care of it then."

Jiang Lisheng agreed, "Okay."

Yu Wuchen warned again, "You have no spiritual power, don't run around by yourself. In addition, you must remember today's lesson. Logically, you also practiced the formation. Even if you have no spiritual power now, you should be very sensitive to the formation. But today, when the Soul Binding Lamp could not capture the soul, you did not notice that something was wrong. It can be seen that you were influenced by those people, which affected your emotions and made you confused and unable to distinguish. Therefore, you neglected the wrong things. This is a taboo. If you hadn't found me in time and were obedient, and left the formation quickly, otherwise, if it was really a formation within a formation, even if you broke the formation, you might have to leave your life there today. Do you understand?"

"Got it." Jiang Lisheng was also a little scared, "Master, luckily you were not sleeping today, otherwise if you didn't reply to my message in time, I would be finished."

Yu Wuchen was annoyed, "You have no spiritual power at all, and you are still running around outside? How can I feel at ease? How can I sleep?"

He seemed too lazy to talk to her anymore and cut off the communication card.

Jiang Lisheng looked at the cut-off communication card and muttered, "What a bad temper."
