I Can See Through All Things' Information-Chapter 547 - 352 Ancient Demon Formation, Falling into the Demon Path_2
Chapter 547 -352 Ancient Demon Formation, Falling into the Demon Path_2
“I do not know, but the aura I just sensed is from the same source as the Demon Cultivator I encountered previously in Holy City.
Even if they are not the same person, there must be some unusual connection between them.”
Lu Qing recalled the state of the Divine Soul’s fluctuation in the talisman before it dissipated.
It seemed like Wei Xinghe was trapped somewhere, surrounded by emerging Demonic Qi, and vaguely, there seemed to be many people wailing.
Unfortunately, his own Divine Soul was still not powerful enough.
The power of the emitted Divine Soul fluctuation was limited.
And the distance was too great, the things he could sense were very vague.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t need to guess like this.
Now he could only hurry to State Mansion to find out the truth of the matter.
The question was whether Wei Xinghe could hold on until the moment he arrived.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing’s thoughts stirred, and the breezes swirling around him grew more intense.
At the same time, his speed surged again.
From high above, he appeared as a stream of bluish-yellow light, speeding toward the direction of the State Mansion City along the ground.
The Prefecture was a thousand miles away from Jiuli Village. When Lu Qing was still at the Postnatal Realm, he had made a night raid to kill the Innate Realm old crone from the Zheng Family.
Now his Cultivation was immeasurably stronger than it was then.
And his speed was far beyond any comparison to that time.
Thus, though he had left in the afternoon, the State Mansion City was already in sight before nightfall.
“Hm?”
However, when Lu Qing saw the State Mansion City, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He found the State Mansion City, which lay like a massive beast upon the land, was presently enveloped in a layer of black light.
That black light, which emitted an evil aura, looked quite strange.
“This is a Demon Formation, who has such great capability to set up an Array of such large scope?”
The figure of “Yan” materialized beside Lu Qing, looking at the State Mansion City ahead with some astonishment.
“It’s not just an Array; there are also Magical Treasures.”
Lu Qing stared at the black energy screen, and soon, lines of information floated into his view.
[Blood Melting Soul Refining Array: An ancient Devilish Array inherited from the Black Sky Demon Venerable of the Heavenly Origin Great World, exceedingly evil and malicious.]
[Blood Melting and Soul Refining, mysterious Demon Cultivators intend to use this Array to melt the citizens of an entire city, turning them into nourishment and condensing a Demon Body.]
[This Array is a very simplified version established with the Devilish Magical Treasure as the core, its power being less than one ten-millionth of the original Array.]
…
“To turn the citizens of a city into nourishment to condense a Demon Body?”
When Lu Qing saw the information on the lines, his face turned ashen.
So much so that he temporarily disregarded the mention of Black Sky Demon Venerable displayed on the lines.
No wonder the fluctuation of his Divine Soul had sensed as if many wails were arising around Wei Shanhai.
And why he had felt a premonition in the back of his mind.
It turns out that a Demon Cultivator had set up an Array with the intent to turn all the citizens of State Mansion City into nourishment to form a Demon Body.
One must know, there are tens of thousands of citizens in the State Mansion City.
“Young Master, what are you saying?” “Yan” exclaimed in shock upon hearing this, “That Demon Cultivator wants to Refine all the people in this city, how dare they?”
“How so? Did the elder not say that Demon Cultivators are cruel and lawless, treating human life as worthless? There’s nothing they wouldn’t dare.”
“It’s not the same,” “Yan” said, “Although Demon Cultivators are cruel and fond of killing, there is a limit.
Such a conduct of melting the entire city’s citizens will certainly induce tremendous sin.
Even a Demon Cultivator at the Primordial Spirit Realm wouldn’t dare to do so.
Otherwise, the punishment of the Heavenly Dao would descend, and no one could bear it.”
“Then how does the elder explain the situation in front of us?” Lu Qing indicated forward.
“This…” “Yan” was at a loss for words.
After a moment of thought, it said, “Perhaps, this Array is only trapping the city and is not necessarily trying to Refine all the people in it.”
“No matter what it is, we’ll find out soon enough.”
Lu Qing didn’t rush to enter the city; with the situation unclear and the State Mansion City being trapped, his rash entry might instead cause trouble.
“Little Li, guard me for a moment.”
Lu Qing instructed, before sitting down, crossing his legs, concentrating his mind and entering a meditative state.
At this distance, he should be able to sense the presence of his Divine Soul in the talisman.
Indeed, it didn’t take long for Lu Qing to sense a breath similar to his own within the city, faint and ethereal.
However, due to the array’s obstruction, it would take some effort for him to connect with it.
Lu Qing immediately employed his mental method, attempting to link with that thread of Divine Soul breath.
Just as Lu Qing was strenuously striving to connect with the talisman,
In a small alley within State Mansion City, Wei Shanhai was holding a broken Jade Sword Talisman, looking with utter despair at the figure before him that seemed both familiar and alien.
He never imagined that his son could turn into this inhuman, ghostly state.
“Father, I’ve said before, your struggles are futile.
It would be better to join me in following Lord Demon and contribute to his cause, achieving greatness.”
Before Wei Xinghe, with a body exuding black gas and a dark mark between the eyebrows emanating malevolence, Wei Zihao gently laughed.
“Zihao, tell me who turned you into this?”
Wei Xinghe looked at his completely unrecognizable son, his heart twisting in pain.
“What, Father, do you think I am not better off this way?” Wei Zihao extended an arm covered with strange runes, “But I feel that this is very good.
Father, you saw it as well, my current cultivation far surpasses yours.
Even that Sword Qi Talisman that you somehow acquired couldn’t harm me in the slightest.”
Seeing this, Wei Xinghe felt even more heartache.
“Zihao, wake up, do you really think the power you possess now is truly your own?”
“Father really has a sense of humor, if this power isn’t mine, could it be yours?
But, if Father is willing to heed my advice, submit to the Demon Lord,
With your realm in the Innate Realm, it’s not difficult to obtain such power.
So now, Father, please follow me to meet the Demon Lord.
He mentioned earlier that he’s very interested in the Sword Qi Talisman you offered.”
After Wei Zihao finished speaking, his hand gently reached towards Wei Xinghe.
The seemingly casual gesture caused Wei Xinghe’s complexion to change drastically.
Without thinking, he stomped the ground and rapidly retreated backward.
“Father, it’s useless, you won’t be able to escape.”
Wei Zihao smiled faintly as the black gas from his hand turned into two venomous snakes, coiling towards the retreating figure of Wei Xinghe.
The Demonic Qi snakes were extremely fast and in the blink of an eye, had caught up with Wei Xinghe.
Wei Xinghe had experienced the power of this black gas firsthand and dared not let it touch his body,
Yet he couldn’t outrun this bizarre thing.
Left with no other choice, he gritted his teeth and activated the last talisman on his person.
The next moment, a blue light emerged from Wei Xinghe’s body, exponentially increasing his speed.
It not only instantly increased the distance between him and the dark gas, but he also vanished from Wei Zihao’s view with a few leaps.
Wei Zihao, who had been so confident and smiling moments ago, suddenly had his face fall.
He had never expected that at this time, his father still had a trump card.
However, he quickly resumed smiling.
“It’s futile, Father, you cannot escape State Mansion City under the great array’s envelopment.”
With those words, he turned into a black shadow, chasing in the direction Wei Xinghe disappeared.
After escaping the alley, Wei Xinghe dared not pause.
According to what Lu Qing had told him when he gave him the talisman, the Light Spirit Talisman’s effect could only last for a quarter of an hour.
He had to escape the city within this time.
Otherwise, not only would he perish in the city, but the entire State Mansion City could turn into hell.
Thinking of the terrifying figure he had seen earlier,
Wei Xinghe knew that in all of Cang State, perhaps only Lu Qing could save the city’s residents.
Of course, that was provided he could make it out.
Just as Wei Xinghe was fleeing for his life, a Divine Soul Fluctuation suddenly emitted from him.
“Family Master Wei, can you hear me?”
“Young Master Lu?!”
Hearing this voice, Wei Xinghe abruptly stopped, a ecstatic expression flooding his face.
