Chapter 957: The Burial Ground
"Everyone, I believe you have all seen it. This altar is the treasure we have worked so hard to find." Eyao took a deep breath and said slowly.
When everyone heard this, they all looked towards him.
"Ahem...City Master E, is this the legendary place where the treasures of the Great Ruins are hidden?" Qin Yuan coughed twice and asked in doubt.
"Everyone should have felt it too. How powerful is the breath of flesh and blood contained here? Isn't this a great secret treasure for all of us Xuanxiu? Besides, the skeleton I mentioned earlier is also in the blood. In the pool." Eku nodded and said.
Everyone exclaimed when they heard the sound, and couldn't help but look down at the sacrificial blood pool again.
Although Chen Yang looked over like everyone else, there was always a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Han Li tried to look at it, but with his eyesight, he could only see layers of thick white bones under the tumbling blood, but he couldn't tell whether there was the corpse mentioned by Erji among them.
"City Master E, the skeleton is in the blood pool, don't we want to sneak into the blood pool and fish it out?" Fu Jian asked after hesitating slightly.
"Everyone, don't act rashly. The power of flesh and blood contained in this blood pool is beyond our imagination. If we enter it rashly, let alone whether we can find the skeleton, I'm afraid that we will be backlashed by the power of flesh and blood and become this One of the bones in the vast expanse." E Kuai waved his hand and said slowly.
"Then what should I do?" Sun Tu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"This blood pool was originally built on a large blood sacrifice formation, and the five statues around it are the five formations. I need you, Daoyou Sun, the city masters, to try to mobilize the formation together with me, and absorb the skeleton from the blood pool Come out," said Okui.
"This... City Lord E, cough cough... I am a bit puzzled, I wonder if the City Lord can answer one or two questions." Qin Yuan frowned slightly and asked.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, it doesn't matter if you say it." Eyao said calmly.
"Cough...then I'm sorry to offend you. No one has ever actually entered the Great Ruins before. Why does City Lord E seem to be quite familiar with the situation here? What's going on here?" Qin Yuan looked around. Everyone glanced and asked.
When he asked this question, the eyes of most people in the hall were focused on Emei. Obviously, he was not the only one who had this doubt.
"To tell you the truth, when I went out to explore the Scaled Sky Realm by myself, I got an ancient stele with unknown roots, which recorded the situation in a secret realm. But I have always felt that there is a connection between them. After I really entered the Great Ruins, I have seen many things that corroborated the inscriptions on this journey, and only then have I confirmed that all the contents stated on it are true. As for everyone’s wishes I don’t want to believe it... I’ve already arrived here, so I might as well give it a try.” Eyao said slowly, and finally glanced at everyone.
Han Li couldn't help but slander in his heart. There were so many loopholes in E's words. Everyone knew that he probably made them up casually, but they couldn't refute them, because everything here was unknown to them.
However, Eyao's last sentence was not wrong, and he has gone through all kinds of hardships to get here, who can resist the temptation and not give it a try?
"Haha...Since it's what City Lord E said, how can I not believe it? No matter what, I, Sun Tu, will definitely believe it. It's just that I have never been to this secret place before, so we might as well work together to check carefully and make sure there are no traps. What do you think of trying again after the dark formation?" Seeing the silence of the crowd, Sun Tu suddenly laughed loudly.
When the rest of the people heard the words, their eyes flashed, and they all said yes.
"That's natural, even if Sun Daoyou didn't mention it, I was about to say it." Ejiao also said with a smile.
So the crowd began to disperse, and looked outside the five-cornered blood pool and on the entire altar.
Han Li didn't look for Chen Yang, but went to the edge of the altar together with Shi Chuankong, and looked along the outer stone railing.
Chen Yang just glanced at the backs of Han Li and the two, then turned and walked towards a black stone statue, while Xuanyuan Xing silently followed behind him.
In the rest of the cities, basically, the city lords brought their subordinates to check the statue that was a pivot.
Sun Tu wrapped his sleeves, came under a statue, looked up at its protruding neck for a moment, then raised his hand to touch the stone statue, and secretly poured a ray of star power into it.
The statue stood motionless in place, without any change.
Sun Tu frowned slightly, and suddenly opened his sleeves and pocketed them above the pool of blood. The cuffs rattled, and a wisp of blood mist suddenly condensed into a bloody vortex, which swirled and flowed into his sleeves.
After a slight noise, the sleeve robe returned to its original shape.
After a while, Sun Tu's frown gradually eased, and he turned to look at Fang Chan beside him.
I saw the pig-faced boy lying on the stone railing, like a street trader seeing a stunning beauty, or like a hungry man seeing a table full of wine and meat, with a big grin, saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth, greedy look.
"Cicada, in this pool of blood, we must not go on carelessly." Sun Tu warned with a solemn expression.
The pig-faced boy turned his head with a look of disappointment.
"Okay, after a while, after the big formation is in operation, you have to protect me well. After I get back that skeleton, I will definitely find a way to get you a piece." Seeing this, Sun Tu relaxed his expression and smiled. Said.
Hearing this, the latter grinned again.
On the other side, Fu Jian was slapping the black stone sculpture continuously, and Duan Tong followed behind him, hesitating to speak.
"Speak up if you have something to say." Fu Jian stopped his hands and said.
"City Master, I don't know why, but I always feel that this place is a bit weird. Why don't I let you drive the formation later on? If anything happens, it's easier for you to cast spells to rescue me than I to rescue you." Duan Only then did Tong lower his voice and speak.
"It's rare for your brain to have such an idea..." Fu Jian seemed a little surprised, and after a moment of hesitation, he said.
Just as Duan Tong was about to say something, Fu Jian's voice sounded in the sea of consciousness:
"I must have thought a lot about asking the five city lords to enter the formation together by name. How could I agree with you to activate the formation on my behalf? Besides, this formation is certainly unusual. With your cultivation base, I'm afraid Simply not enough."
After Duan Tong listened, he lowered his head slightly and fell silent.
"Okay, don't worry too much. I didn't come here without any preparations. You don't have to worry too much." Fu Jian patted Duan Tong on the shoulder and said through sound transmission.
After Duan Tong listened, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded.
Qin Yuan has been observing everyone's actions, Yaoyao and Fu Jian looked at each other and nodded.
He had also checked the stone statues and the blood pool by means of means, but found nothing unusual, so he walked around the five statues and checked the ground carefully, but found nothing.
Han Li walked inward along the edge of the altar, stopping in front of each stone pillar, raised his palm and stroked it lightly for a while, feeling the patterns on it.
Suddenly, he frowned, stopped stroking, turned around, and saw Zhu Ziqing walking this way for some reason.
"You are Li Feiyu, right? My brother said that you are not a simple human race, why can't I see it..." Zhu Ziqing walked around Shi Chuankong who was following Han Li, and said.
"Brother Ling misunderstood me. I'm just a mere human race, and I'm not worthy of your brothers and sisters' favor." Han Li said expressionlessly.
"No matter what my brother says, I am quite interested in you. It is indeed not easy for a human race to cultivate to this level. In this regard, you are... special." Zhu Ziqing propped his chin with one hand, He nodded his head and said.
"Why are you messing around here again? You haven't come back yet?" Zhu Ziyuan had been focusing on the sacrificial blood pool, and when he realized that Zhu Ziqing was no longer by his side, he hurried over.
Although it was a reprimand, his tone was not serious, obviously he was very fond of this younger sister.
Zhu Ziqing smiled mischievously, made a face at him, tugged at his sleeve, and walked over.
Seeing this scene, Han Li couldn't help but smile a little more.
When he was still in that small mountain village, among the five brothers and sisters, he was the closest to his younger sister, but the road to immortality was long and ruthless, and his memory of her was somewhat blurred.
Zhu Ziyuan nodded at him apologetically, and left with his sister.
On the other side, Chen Yang's expression was normal, but his eyes flickered back and forth, appearing to be preoccupied.
It circled around the statue beside it and stopped.
"City Lord..." Xuanyuan Xing frowned and couldn't help shouting.
Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, gathered himself together, glanced at Xuanyuan Xing, but didn't say anything.
He came to the stone railing, looked at the blood pool below for a moment, and suddenly retracted his palm into his sleeve, and when he stretched out again, there was an extra khaki short spear in his palm, with lightning patterns engraved on it.
With a wave of his palm, a white light flashed on the short spear, passed through the gap in the stone railing, and shot into the pool of blood.
Just listen to a loud bang!
The khaki short spear exploded in the pool of blood, turning into a mass of white thunderballs about the size of Zhang Zhang, buzzing.
The snow-white lightning scattered in all directions, and a large cloud of blood-colored mist was dispersed, turning into thin smoke and rising up, but it never bleeds into the pool.
Everyone was frightened by this sound, and they all looked towards this side, and saw that the blood surge in the blood pool was obviously much faster, and the surrounding stone walls were like waves of blood hitting the shore, stirring up waves of spray.
"Chen Yang, what are you doing?" Qin Yuan scolded.
"It's nothing, let's see if there is anything weird in the blood pool..." Chen Yang said calmly.
Eku just raised his eyelids and glanced this way, then turned his gaze back to the statue in front of him.
Shao Ying and the others stood behind him without saying a word.
After waiting for a while, the blood wave in the blood pool gradually calmed down, and nothing unusual happened.
