Chapter 557 World Invasion: Cannon Fodder in Infinite Terror VS The Ghost King Killed by the Origina
"The evil entity is exhibiting abnormal fluctuations. Strengthen the formation and suppress it at all costs!"
Su Jinyue subconsciously concealed her presence and figure, then slowly moved towards the source of the sound.
Upon getting closer, Su Jinyue saw seven people dressed in black cloaks standing around a pit, casting spells into it.
Based on their positions, Su Jinyue deduced that the array being cast by the seven cloaked figures was the Seven Star Gathering Spirit Array, which combined the seven people's profound energy to suppress the so-called 'evil creature' in the pit.
But she already knew from Xiao Jing'an that the rest of his remains were in that pit!
Could these people in black cloaks be the masterminds behind the attack on Xiao Jing'an? Are they the Imperial Advisor's men?!
Su Jinyue looked coldly at the seven people in front of her, but after her investigation, she found that these seven people had weak Xuan power, and it would take seven people to suppress them. They were unlikely to be the real national advisor.
But these people are definitely connected to the Imperial Advisor!
After all this time, we've finally found traces of the Imperial Advisor!
In order not to alert the enemy and to find the Grand Preceptor's lair by following their return route, Su Jinyue and Xiao Jing'an tacitly decided not to interrupt them now.
Because of the special nature of Xiao Jing'an's soul, even if it's only one-fifth of his original form, his soul is still very strong. These seven people aren't very strong, and they're having such a hard time setting up an enhanced formation.
Su Jinyue has already collected the other four parts of Xiao Jing'an's remains. The Imperial Advisor must have noticed this, which is why he arranged for his subordinates to strengthen the formation around Xiao Jing'an's remains.
Su Jinyue guessed that the imperial advisors in other places must have also sent people, but she just didn't run into them.
Su Jinyue and Xiao Jing'an waited in the shadows for an hour before the group finished setting up the formation and prepared to head back.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Su Jinyue quickly followed. She had already discussed it with Xiao Jing'an. Su Jinyue would go with them, while Xiao Jing'an would absorb the remaining soul power and dragon energy, and then collect the remains.
Xiao Jing'an's soul is powerful. Su Jinyue has already broken several of these formations, and Xiao Jing'an has also learned how to break this formation, so he can do it himself.
The seven people walking ahead were completely unaware that they were being followed. On the way back, the seven people had already removed the black cloaks from their heads.
After they emerged from the dense forest, more than an hour had passed. The seven people stood at the foot of the mountain. One of them, presumably the leader, took out his phone, tapped a few times, and then put it down.
Su Jinyue watched as the seven people stopped and rested on the spot, presumably waiting for someone or a car to pick them up.
During a break, the shorter young man quietly approached the leader and whispered, "Senior Brother, what exactly is the evil thing we're suppressing? I heard from the other senior brothers that we have to suppress it every ten years, but it hasn't been ten years yet, right? Why don't we just kill it?"
The young man, who was called "Senior Brother," looked to be in his early twenties, not yet thirty. He was young, but his expression was very serious, and his eyes were indifferent.
He lowered his head slightly and glanced at his junior brother out of the corner of his eye: "Do what I tell you to do, and don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"
The junior brother dared not ask any more questions and went down meekly. The senior brother turned his head, his face calm, but in fact he was also wondering about something.
He didn't actually know what was inside the tomb, but he had participated in the reinforcement of the formation, which took place once every ten years, several times.
This time, before ten years had even passed, Master hurriedly came out of his seclusion and instructed him to bring his junior brothers here to reinforce the formation.
This was the first time he had ever known that there were actually five such places!
It was probably because the situation was urgent and the master couldn't find a reliable person, so he had to put him in charge of the overall situation. Fortunately, he had dealt with this kind of thing before, so it wasn't unfamiliar to him and he wasn't afraid of messing it up.
He chose the reinforcement formation at the spot he had visited before, and left the other four places to his junior brothers who had been there before. Even though these were all things he was used to doing, for some reason, he had a bad feeling and felt uneasy.
He looked up at the horizon; dusk was falling, the sun had long since set, and the sky was dark and gloomy, making him feel inexplicably depressed.
Hopefully, the others' actions will also go smoothly...
Neither the senior disciple nor Su Jinyue knew the truth of the matter.
Su Jinyue and Xiao Jing'an's operation went smoothly. Putting aside the situation at the cemetery where Xiao Jing'an woke up and the Xiao family cemetery, the other two places were the first places Su Jinyue had planned to visit.
Su Jinyue broke the formation, Xiao Jing'an absorbed the energy within, took the remains, and left. Only the people arranged by the Imperial Advisor arrived at this place.
This last place, although it was the last of the ten locations, was just the right time for Su Jinyue to arrive, as the other side was reinforcing the formation.
Su Jinyue didn't know exactly how many people the Imperial Advisor had sent, but it didn't matter if he sent people to every place.
She knew the mastermind was deeply hidden. Xiao Jing'an's remains were divided into five parts. In order to prevent the Imperial Advisor from discovering the clues in advance, Su Jinyue restored each tomb to its original state and replaced the original formation with a similar harmless one.
Su Jinyue glanced at the seven people still waiting in the same spot. If the people in other places were at a similar level to this group, they would only reinforce the formation outside the tomb. Unless the Imperial Advisor himself came, they would not be able to discover the anomaly inside the tomb.
After waiting for a while, two low-key black SUVs arrived, picked up the seven people, and drove away.
Su Jinyue affixed an invisibility talisman to herself, took out a flying vehicle from her spatial storage, and gave chase.
Su Jinyue followed them into the city and rested in a secluded and quiet courtyard. During the day, they also checked out several shops that they believed to be run by the group.
Two days passed in this way before the group set off again. Su Jinyue followed behind them, wandering around for a whole day. Finally, they entered a mountain and disappeared into the bamboo forest.
Su Jinyue quickly went forward to check and found traces of a maze formation in the bamboo forest. No wonder ordinary people couldn't find it; it turned out that a maze formation had been set up on the outside.
Once this formation is set up, unless someone knows the formation itself or the method to enter the maze formation, an ordinary person who accidentally enters the formation will get lost and unknowingly walk out of the formation. They will also have a blurred memory of entering the formation, so ordinary people will naturally not be able to find out.
Standing outside the maze, Su Jinyue pondered to herself, "No wonder I couldn't find the Imperial Preceptor's whereabouts; he was hiding so well!"
However, she now knows the Grand Tutor's lair. Before, the Grand Tutor was in the shadows while she was in the open, but now the roles have reversed, and the Grand Tutor can no longer hide!
Su Jinyue originally wanted to go in and find out what was going on, but she stopped in her tracks.
She sensed Xiao Jing'an approaching rapidly; it seemed he had finished absorbing the soul power and dragon energy and was on his way.
Su Jinyue patiently decided to wait for Xiao Jing'an to arrive before making further plans.
