Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 940 Wuxiang Has Gone Mad
The vibrations inside the water mirror were imperceptible to those outside, but Wang Xuanzhi felt that the formless state at this moment was the most dangerous.

Wang Xuanzhi gripped the bone flute tightly in his hand, ready to fight at any moment.

"Wu Xiang, how does it feel to have an array set up inside your body?" Dao Yi slowly stood up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of her lips. Looking up at the sky, she seemed to see Wu Xiang's powerless rage at this moment, and she laughed.

Dao Yi wasn't entirely sure before whether the old man's body was truly related to Wu Xiang, since Wu Xiang wasn't the only outsider in this world—Cui Hua was proof of that. But seeing how much Wu Xiang valued his body just now, she was finally certain.

The array within Wuxiang's body was set up after she obtained it.

When she brought the body out of the echoing footsteps in the empty valley, she sensed something was wrong. The old man's body had been in the echoing footsteps for many years, yet it had not decayed, nor even smelled of decay. Apart from lacking a soul, it was still the same as when he was alive.

Ordinary people can use special methods to keep their bodies from decaying, but once their bodies die, they lose all vitality. The bodies of the elderly not only contain an elusive vitality, but their bodies themselves are also exceptionally strong.

She guessed that this body, like her, had practiced magic in its previous life. The only surprise was that Wuxiang was also from outer space.

After she removed the body, she placed it in the morgue, partly to lure the snake out of its hole, and partly to verify this idea.

Today, Dao Yi has finally received a definitive answer.

Since the old man's body owner was an extraterrestrial being who could practice magic, she guessed that the other party's soul had simply left his body. Before figuring out whether he was friend or foe, she must not let her guard down.

Later, the story that Ling Xuzi and the others told about Xu Wei being possessed was corroborated by another piece of evidence.

Therefore, she learned from Jue Ru's method of setting up an array on the body of the roc and also set up an array in Wu Xiang's body. As long as she used hand seals, she could destroy this body in an instant.

To ensure the array within her body could destroy it, Dao Yi used the most powerful destruction array she currently possessed. Fortunately, Wu Xiang hadn't cultivated to the point of having an indestructible body as rumored.

After the bang, there was a moment of silence.

Almost instantly, upon hearing Wuxiang's angry shout, Daoyi smiled and said, "Old man, don't be angry. Consider it a wedding gift from you. To be honest, it's quite beautiful. By the way..."

As he spoke, Dao Yi walked to the spot where Wu Xiang's physical body had exploded, bent down and picked up a small, dark, lumpy thing. "Wu Xiang, do you still want this little fox?"

The little fox is the red fox that was blown back to its original form.

The red fox's tail enveloped its formless body. When the formation destroyed the body, the red fox couldn't dodge at all. Due to its improved cultivation, the red fox used its life-saving methods, but only its original form remained.

They may look well-behaved, but Dao Yi won't hold back.

They probably don't even know how many people their "Five-Character Department" has harmed.

"I said I would make you all pay with your lives!" Those familiar with Wuxiang knew he was truly enraged, especially the spirit beasts that followed him. The last time they saw him so angry was before they came to this other world.

As Wu Xiang spoke, he intensified the operation of the formation, causing the spiritual energy within to surge wildly, almost indiscriminately affecting friend and foe.

For a moment, both sides stopped fighting and went to save their own lives.

Even so, Wang Xuanzhi stood right next to Wuxiang, yet he did not harm him in the slightest.

Dao Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Xiang, an old monster who had lived for countless years, was so powerful at possessing others' souls. If Wu Xiang's physical body and soul were to merge into one, it would surely be another disaster.

She hadn't quite caught her breath yet.

The ground shook violently within the Nine Stars Alignment Formation. Dao Yi, swaying unsteadily, cursed as he searched for an exit, "Is this old man a sore loser? All I did was destroy one of his physical bodies, and he's already stolen so many others' bodies!" Wu Xiang, hearing everything clearly outside the formation, remained silent.

Upon realizing what was happening, Wuxiang thought: He must kill Daoyi with his own hands.

Wang Xuanzhi's lips curled slightly; as expected of Xiao Yi.

Wu Xiang happened to see this, and he smiled sinisterly, "Wang family brat, you don't actually think they won, do you!"

Indeed, judging from the surface, the position of the Red Fox has already been defeated, and the positions of the other Venerables will also be affected. However, Wang Xuanzhi did not forget that the one who can control the entire formation is the center of the formation where Wuxiang is located.

As expected, Wuxiang moved extremely fast. Before Wang Xuanzhi could even see what he was doing, the water mirror was in turmoil once again.

Dao Yi picked up the half-dead red fox in her hand, looked it over from left to right, and asked the person in front of her, "You are a red fox, then what kind of thing is this?"

The illusory image formed by the array: "." It might not be a thing, but the person in front of me might not be so real either.

The phantom resembled the Red Fox and used similar techniques, but its abilities far surpassed the Red Fox's. However, it lacked common sense and relentlessly pursued Dao Yi and the others, aiming to kill them with every move.

Dao Yi grabbed the red fox, turned and ran. Even if she couldn't win, she wasn't going to just wait to die.

The phantom is merely a part of the formation; no matter how Dao Yi and the others try to escape, the phantom can appear out of thin air in front of them.

Dao Yi and the others, who were originally opposed to the illusory figure, were fine, but the other Venerables couldn't stand this disparity. Not only were they abandoned by their master, but they also had to live under "their" control. No one felt as aggrieved as they did.

Within the Nine Stars Formation, both sides fled in disarray from their respective positions.

Dao Yi and the others suffered one more wound after another. Wu Xiang's mood remained terrible. He no longer focused his attention on the formation. In his eyes, these people were all dead, and it was only a matter of time before they died.

With a wave of his hand, Wu Xiang revealed another scene outside the formation to Wang Xuanzhi.

That was the scene inside the imperial city. The injured King of Qin did not rest. He was mobilizing all available personnel inside and outside the imperial city. Some were surrounding the East Palace, some were protecting the imperial city, and some were comforting the people because of the earthquake.

Under the Qin King's arrangement, everyone inside and outside the imperial city was in good order.

Wu Xiang has gone mad; he wants to kill everyone in the imperial city.

Wang Xuanzhi knew that he could do it using Wuxiang's methods.

Since Wuxiang's abilities have exceeded the scope of human understanding and are beyond human capability, let's send him back to his original world.

Wang Xuanzhi believed that there must be a world that Wuxiang feared, one that could injure Wuxiang to the point of causing his soul to leave his body and forcing him to hide in another's body. Now that he no longer had a physical body, he was only relying on this stolen one.

He wanted to see if Wuxiang could prove himself through his own abilities.

He went to great lengths, even at the cost of establishing the Five-Character Department and causing the deaths of many innocent people, to return to his hometown.

Can we survive?

"Wu Xiang, it seems you have forgotten me."
