After being bound by the system, Bai Yueguang and I reunited

Chapter 390: Deep Love from Heaven 5

As soon as the group stepped into the black fog formed by ghost energy, they saw all the mortals in the city standing quietly on the streets, like exquisitely carved puppets.

The scene was so horrifying that everyone stopped in their tracks.

Shan Yuan frowned and looked carefully, and saw that there was something like a black line on the heads of those who were controlled.

After he turned around and told everyone about his discovery, he tentatively used his spiritual power to cut the black line that controlled people.

A faint golden light passed over the head of the nearest person, as if it had penetrated a curtain of water. The black line shook twice and then returned to its original state.

"It won't work." Shan Yuan shook his head.

"This black line is really weird. I don't know if it can only control people or absorb their energy. It's hard to move!"

"Who has any idea?"

"Observe first."

So everyone took a few steps closer to look at the person who was being restrained and whose body was stiff.

It seemed as if they were frozen in an instant, and everyone maintained the expressions and movements they had when the black fog descended.

Only two eyeballs were trembling, revealing panic and a desperate cry for help.

"Even if he is a thousand-year-old ghost king, he can't control a city with hundreds of thousands of people in an instant!"

Questions were raised.

"We were also at the edge of the city at the time and didn't notice any unusual movements."

"So, what method did this ghost king use?"

Listening to everyone's discussion, Ji Heyi and Yun Sheng looked at each other and said at the same time, "Formation!"

Shan Yuan: "Are you two sure?"

The spiritual energy is thin and the Taoism is cut off.

They even practice cultivation by feeling their way across the river.

The talisman formations are passed down, but they are not very powerful.

A large formation like this one that can enclose an entire city is even rarer.

Ji Heyi found paper and pen and drew the formation in the underwater tomb.

"Unfortunately, I only wrote down these, it's not complete, and I don't know what relationship it has with the formation in the city."

But it's still a clue.

Shanyuan and a few old guys studied it for a while with their heads close together.

"The remnants of the Spirit Gathering Array."

"I think so too. The ghost king's goal is the underwater dragon vein."

"It's over. It's a thousand-year-old ghost king who is proficient in formations."

"..."

"Don't say discouraging words, quickly split up and look for the center of the formation!" Shan Yuan arranged the tasks in a bad mood.

After a while, the people who had returned empty-handed gathered together again.

Looking at their worried faces, the head of the Chen family stood calmly by, not knowing what he was thinking.

There is no clue of the center of the formation.

They didn't dare to easily move the ordinary people who were under their control.

Zhao Qi was so worried that he felt like he was going to have a few gray hairs in the next moment.

Suddenly, a sneer was heard in the darkness.

"Tsk, it's really useless."

A shadowy figure was swaying in the distance. "The so-called Xuanmen is nothing more than this."

Shanyuan guessed the identity of the visitor and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the head of the Chen family.

"Ghost King?"

He Xichi snorted and laughed as a response.

Patriarch Chen: "Since you are here, do you have conditions to negotiate?"

In the darkness, everyone was extremely wary of the elusive Ghost King.

"Don't you want to save people? I agree."

Zhao Qi felt that there was a trap. The Ghost King was in the upper hand now, so how could he let them take the person away easily?

"What conditions?"

He Xichi said, "Half," he said leisurely, "You can take half of the people in the city, and the rest will be mine."

He smiled grimly, "Such generous conditions are hard to find even with a lantern!"

Zhao Qi's face suddenly turned grim.

Everyone knows what the remaining half of the people will do.

Those who are left behind will become the ghost king's meal.

"Have you thought it through? As long as we get half of the people, I will immediately remove the formation from here."

Patriarch Chen turned around and looked at Zhao Qi, "Captain Zhao, look at this..."

"You still need to consider this?" Zhao Qi's eyes were about to spit fire, "I will never agree to this!"

Patriarch Chen sighed, "I know this is a difficult decision to make, but at least half of the people can survive!"

"Heh," Zhao Qi didn't care about superficial feelings at this moment, and didn't want to tear each other apart. "Then tell me, who should die and who should live? Can you bear the lives of so many people? Can you give a perfect answer?"

In Zhao Qi's opinion, this condition was just the Ghost King's way of teasing people out of boredom.

That's tens of thousands of lives.

These are not pigs, sheep or chickens in any slaughterhouse that can be slaughtered at will.

Living half a life sounds nice.

Who wants to die when they can live?

He Xichi spoke faintly, "So, your answer is no?"

Zhao Qi's teeth were grinding.

"I don't agree with what you said! How about changing the conditions?" She took a deep breath, "How about changing people? I'm a cultivator, I have abundant energy, and I'm more valuable than ordinary people!"

When these words came out, the people in the Special Management Bureau were stunned.

"Captain Zhao!"

"That does not work!"

"How is this condition different from the previous one? Doesn't it still require sacrifice?"

He Xichi clapped his hands, "What a righteous heart you have. I am moved by what you said."

After giving a hypocritical compliment, he raised his eyes, met someone's gaze, and then looked away without leaving a trace.

"You don't agree to my terms, and I don't think your terms are worth it."

The Yin energy gathered in He Xichi's hands, and his ultimate move was ready to be launched.

"Pity……"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Heyi, who was very sensitive to power fluctuations, noticed something was wrong.

He shouted decisively, "Run!"

After saying this, he grabbed his master and senior brother with both hands and ran towards Wolong Creek.

The others also started running subconsciously.

Not far behind him, He Xichi had finished accumulating strength. He sneered, and endless black lines stretched out from his palms and pierced into the people who were running wildly.

"Too late."

He Xichi smiled as he watched the Xuanmen people step into the trap and about to become his puppets.

A golden light suddenly appeared, piercing through the thick darkness and forming a solid protective shield.

He Xichi's smile froze on his lips.

what is that?

Ji Heyi stood in front, with his master and senior brothers behind him.

There were twinkling stars in his eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the spiritual energy layer blocked the ghost king's black line.

But others who are not in the protection circle are unlucky.

Those who are capable are using their best skills to dodge the black line.

The incompetent person turned into a stiff figure on the spot.

"Huh," Yun Sheng let out a long breath, "Junior brother, it seems your beauty is still useful."

Look, several lives have been saved.

Ji Heyi: "...Shut up, brother."

Just as he was thinking about whether to leave here quickly or use the protective shield to observe the Ghost King's weaknesses, there was suddenly another person beside him.

"Chaoge? Why are you here?"

Just now he could see that Chaoge didn't want to interfere in the Ghost King's affairs, but now he showed up.

Ji Heyi whispered, "Is it... because of me?"

After saying this, he turned his face away somewhat embarrassedly.

Chaoge held his hand and said, "I really don't want to get involved in this matter."
