Chapter 917 Arrangement
Two figures appeared from the gap in the broken city wall like ghosts, and in a flash returned to the rocky beach outside the city.

The demon lurking here was still fast asleep. The two men hid in the darkness, still speechless.

What I saw and heard was too shocking, and this strange power was too beyond my understanding.

After a long while, Chu Mu slowly spoke out the doubt that had been in his mind for a long time: "Can the records from ancient times really be trusted?"

After all, whether it was what he heard from the female cultivator of Daheng or the ancient records in the Changsheng Sect's Sutra Library, they all clearly explained the origin of this Tianyan holy beast.

It was originally an outsider, then evolved into a mother sand-tailed scorpion, and further evolved into a terrifying tribe of sand-tailed scorpions, which swept across the world of immortal cultivation and were unstoppable.

It took the arrival of a powerful being from the upper realm to suppress the Sand-tailed Scorpion Mother, thus continuing the immortal tradition of the immortal world.

But the problem is, how can the world of immortal cultivation, where the highest level of cultivation can only reach the Nascent Soul stage, possibly accommodate such a terrifying existence as the Tianyan Holy Beast?
Not to mention, that terrifying existence is still fighting against the descending great masters from the upper realm in this world...

Furthermore, can such a terrifying existence really be banned and suppressed by the mere world of immortal cultivation?
Can thin vines bind giant beasts beyond our imagination?

In the past, his cultivation was still low, and it was difficult for him to detect any clues. But now that he has reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, this extremely clear fact has been repeatedly presented to him...

The so-called ancient secrets, no matter how you look at it, are completely nonsense...

"It's too long ago, it's hard to tell the truth..."

The leader of the Changsheng Sect was also a little confused. His voice was low and the fatigue between his brows was obviously more intense.

After a while, the Changsheng Sect Master seemed to have calmed down a little, and slowly said: "Junior brother, do you have a way to isolate the heaven and earth?"

Chu Mu was silent for a while and looked up at the dark sky. Based on what he had just seen and heard, the guess made by the Changsheng Sect Master should not be wrong.

At least in Cangshui City, He did not pay any extra attention to it.

Just like when he was trapped in the illusory cycle of reincarnation, even if he turned into a god and people worshipped him with faith, it would be impossible for him to pay attention to everyone.

Most of the time, it is an instinctive reaction of the objects that are entrusted with the sword intentions during sacrifices in various places.

Although isolating this world from the perception of this hub is almost like playing with fire right under its nose, it is obviously not completely impossible.

As for that demon in the middle stage of Nascent Soul...

With the presence of the great sword master, the Changsheng Sect Master, there is naturally no need to worry too much.

The sword-wielding attack was already nearly invincible among those of the same level, not to mention the situation when one was in a crushing state.

Chu Mu sat cross-legged, blessed by a touch of spiritual light, and looked up at the dark sky from time to time with a thoughtful look on his face. He picked up the jade slips from time to time and recorded the inspiration he got in them.

He already had an idea of ​​what kind of formation should be set up to isolate the connection between heaven and earth.

The only problem is how to prevent the great formation of the immortal cultivation world from being weakened too much in this strange and alienated world.

This is the core key.

The leader of the Changsheng Sect sat on a huge rock nearby. With a sharp gaze, he looked around, while also faintly emitting some spiritual awareness to conceal the two people's tracks.

Several hours passed like this, and dusk fell. The already gloomy sky became even darker, but in this darkness, there was also a bit of enchanting blood color.

On this strange night, the demons that had been living quietly in the wild became noticeably more active.

The fourth-level demon entrenched on the rocky beach had completely changed from its lazy appearance during the day, and its crouching body began to emit a hint of the aura of cultivation.

This bloody night seems to be of great benefit to the demons. Looking around, all the demons are in a state of practicing.

As he breathed in and out, the brown-red alien spiritual energy lingered between heaven and earth. Under the reflection of the enchanting blood light, the entire sky looked like a flowing blood-colored scroll, which was very strange.

Chu Mu looked up, and there was some understanding in his eyes.

It is obvious that the sacrifice was not limited to Cangshui City. It is very likely a large-scale sacrifice throughout the area where demons are entrenched.

This sacrifice also further intensified the alienation of heaven and earth.

If it is really a blood sacrifice, the demons will surely come out again to hunt down monks and living beings, or even start a war again, to plunder enough blood and food for the next sacrifice.

And the fact was just as Chu Mu guessed. When the blood-red twilight faded away and it was still only early morning, the demons in Cangshui City moved out in large numbers.

The roars of evil demons resounded through heaven and earth. Countless demons of all kinds were clearly organized into a strict order, marching towards the north in a mighty and evil manner.

"That fourth-level demon is still in charge of the city."

The leader of the Changsheng Sect looked at Cangshui City with a low voice.

"It doesn't matter."

Chu Mu looked calm: "After I set up this formation, you just need to kill it as soon as possible, and you will be safe."

The head of Changsheng Sect nodded and said affirmatively: "Middle stage of Nascent Soul...it's not a big problem."

Chu Mu said nothing more, concentrating on thinking about this great formation that was used to block the induction of heaven and earth. Although the formation was divine, it was just a compliment from outsiders, but for him, it was an indisputable fact.

As long as he is given spiritual materials that are precious enough and in sufficient quantity, nothing is impossible within the power scope of the immortal cultivation world.

In the next few days, Chu Mu traveled around Cangshui City. After the demons came out in large numbers, the number of demons in the city also decreased a lot.

The outer city was empty and less noisy, while in the inner city, there was only a fourth-level demon lying alone under the altar, chanting unknown strange tunes from time to time, like a devout believer, completely ignoring the things happening in the city.

In this way, Chu Mu was spared a lot of possible troubles. It was impossible for some low-level demons to detect his existence, let alone the large formation he had deliberately hidden.

It wasn't until the eighth day that all the arrangements were finally completed.

On the rocky beach, Chu Mu held a square formation plate in his hand, concentrating on sensing this large formation.

Under normal circumstances, even if a large formation of the fourth-grade upper grade is completed, every link of the formation will require extremely complex and targeted testing.

Only in this way can we ensure that the formation is fully activated and will not make any mistakes when operating at full capacity, which will lead to flaws, affect the power of the formation, and even cause failure.

But in Cangshui City, in this strange world, there are obviously no conditions to conduct the test.

In order to conceal the formation, he did not even conduct any tests. After each link in the formation was arranged, it was immediately sealed and silenced to avoid being noticed by the demons.

"Junior brother, is this formation feasible?"

As soon as Chu Mu put down the formation plate, the leader of the Changsheng Sect, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait to ask.

"no problem."

Chu Mu responded. Although he had not conducted any tests, he had simulated it many times before setting up the formation. With the help of a touch of spiritual light, there would be no mistakes in the arrangement of the formation.

"Once this formation is activated, you must kill that fourth-level demon immediately. Don't give him any chance to react."

Then, Chu Mu gave another instruction.

"can."

The leader of the Changsheng Sect nodded, rolled up his sleeves, and held a cold long sword in his palm. The blade hung diagonally, and even though it was extremely restrained, it was so sharp that it was difficult to see with the naked eye.

With Chu Mu's weapon-refining skills, it was not difficult to see that the sword of the Changsheng Sect Master had been nurtured to the limit of a spiritual treasure.

As long as the cultivation level of the Changsheng Sect Master breaks through, this treasure will probably be able to advance to the fifth level naturally.

A top-grade spiritual treasure for attack, the cultivation of the Changsheng Sect Master himself, plus the advantage of the enemy being in the dark and the unexpected advantage...

If he still cannot succeed, it can only mean that there must be something strange about this fourth-level demon. Then, this magnificent fourth-level top-grade formation will not block the perception of heaven and earth, but create opportunities for his escape.

After all, if the demon who was like a believer was not dealt with in the first place, it meant that there was a high possibility that the terrifying existence would pay attention to this place.

With the strangeness of this world, I will never escape again...

I guess I'm going to lose my life here.

“Junior brother, don’t worry. Even if there are some mistakes, with the terrifying existence of that kind, at most they will just send down some divine thoughts to pay attention…”

"There must be great limitations in this. Otherwise, the Nine City Defense Line would not have lasted until now..."

As if sensing Chu Mu's worry, the leader of the Changsheng Sect explained.

"No problem, let's proceed as planned."

Chu Mu shook his head, leaped up, flashed like a ghost, and disappeared into the gap in the city wall.

The leader of the Changsheng Sect followed closely behind him. The two of them walked one in front and one behind. After only a dozen breaths, they appeared at the edge of the square again.

Neither of them had ever set foot into the square. Given the weirdness of the sacrifice, it was not difficult to see that the entire square, the altar, the sculptures, and even the underground spiritual veins had become one, becoming the hub of this strange world.

Even if He does not pay special attention to such existence, the response of heaven and earth must be extremely strict.

Especially since there is a fourth-level demon sitting here and controlling the place, the possibility of an outsider entering and hiding completely is extremely low.

At this moment, this fourth-level demon was lying on the ground just like before, slowly breathing in the rich brown-red alien spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

A blood sacrifice allowed him to jump directly from the early fourth stage to the middle fourth stage. Although it went against common sense, the leap in cultivation obviously required time to stabilize.

Chu Mu guessed that this was probably one of the reasons why this demon still stayed here.

At this moment, perhaps it was the response of heaven and earth, or perhaps the demon sensed something ominous. The demon, which had been quietly breathing in alien spiritual energy, slowly raised its ferocious beast head, and its pair of scarlet eyes as big as lanterns slowly looked around.

After looking around, he didn't notice anything. The demon seemed a little confused, but he still crouched on the ground again, breathing in the alienated spiritual energy again, and consolidating his leap cultivation...
