"Just sit there. Remember, if the compass vibrates violently and is about to fall, sprinkle some of your blood on it. Only the blood of people from your Zhuge family will be useful to the compass!"

After circling the compass, Shen Tongyu walked up to Zhuge Qing and said in a serious tone.

Zhuge Qing was confused and subconsciously looked down at his wrist. So, he would have to cut his wrist and bleed later?

Before he could figure out the problem, Shen Tongyu turned and left.

Wang Ye, Liu An, Fatty, and Taoist Qingfeng all rushed over and surrounded Shen Tongyu.

Taoist Qingfeng pointed at the black gas that was almost condensing on the surface of the Miyun Reservoir and said, "Tongyu, I always feel that there is something wrong with this yin energy!"

Normal Yin energy will certainly have some adverse effects on the human body, but it will never corrupt the human heart, infinitely magnify the most twisted thoughts deep in the human heart, or even make people have violent thoughts of destroying the entire world.

After discovering the abnormalities in the five ghosts, Taoist Qingfeng and his companions collected some yin energy on the water surface and prepared to conduct a thorough study on it.

Suddenly, a strong feeling of sleepiness surged into the body, making people drowsy.

When they woke up again, the negative emotions in their bodies were so uncomfortable that even Taoist Qingfeng and others found it difficult to resist this negative energy.

This is completely unreasonable.

Just as they were analyzing the composition of the collected Yin Qi, Wang Ye also discovered that after Zhuge Qing left first, the Five Ghosts came forward angrily and sat in Zhuge Qing's previous position. Moreover, the Five Ghosts actually picked up the fishing rod, untied the caught fish, and swallowed the living fish into their stomachs bite by bite.

Others may not know what is special about Zhuge Qing's fishing rod, but Wang Ye knows that there is neither a needle hook nor bait on the fishing rod.

If that’s the case, then where do the fish caught on the fishing rod come from?
Before Wang Ye could figure out the problem, the five ghosts had already eaten the fish.

Then, as if someone was taking the initiative to deliver food to the five ghosts, as soon as the five ghosts finished eating a fish, the fishing rod began to shake again.

As expected, the five ghosts ate another fish.

This went on for a long time, and Wang Ye couldn't even count how many fish the five ghosts had eaten.

As the five ghosts ate more and more, the yin energy around them became thicker and thicker, and gradually, the figures of the five ghosts disappeared in the yin energy.

It was not until Taoist Qingfeng came over that he discovered that the five ghosts were missing.

It seemed that no one noticed that the five ghosts had disappeared without a trace.

Wang also explained to Taoist Qingfeng the scene of the five ghosts eating the live fish. In his opinion, there was nothing interesting about eating fish. He still had to keep an eye on the situation in the sky, so he didn't go to see the five ghosts for a while. As a result, Taoist Qingfeng came to find him.

"I went to where the five ghosts were before. The stools and fishing rods were still there, but the five ghosts were gone!"

Taoist Qingfeng frowned and had a headache. When he saw the empty place, he was really shocked.

The location where Wu Gui was located was relatively remote, and he was the only one there at the time. Several pairs of eyes were watching him, so it was impossible for him to escape.

There were people guarding each exit. If the five ghosts appeared, Taoist Qingfeng would definitely know about it, but now, no one saw the five ghosts.

This sudden situation left everyone present dumbfounded.

"Wait a minute, you mean to say that the Five Ghosts are likely to have entered the water of Miyun Reservoir?"

Wang Ye and Taoist Qingfeng explained that the yin energy on the water surface was indeed very strange compared to before. Even so, the five ghosts were not human beings. Would it really fall into the trap and go into the water?

Shen Tongyu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the floating yin energy on the water, wondering what he was thinking.

"Well, we are not sure that the five ghosts went into the water. Tong Yu, what do you think we should do now?"

Wang Ye and Taoist Qingfeng looked serious, but neither of them dared to draw conclusions easily.

"It will take some time for the dragon's thunder tribulation to brew. I'll go to the surface of the water to take a look. You just need to guard the formation!"

As she spoke, Shen Tongyu walked towards the water below step by step. The flowing Yin energy floated around her, but not a single trace of it dared to approach her body.

The surface of the water had long been blurred, with only a thick yin energy floating around.

The black yin energy was as thick as ink, and Shen Tongyu couldn't help but frown.

Before my eyes, countless images flashed by quickly and finally converged into a figure, who was walking slowly forward with his back to Shen Tongyu.

Shen Tongyu could hardly control himself and subconsciously stretched out his hand, trying to catch the person who was walking away in front of him, but it was all in vain.

A sad look appeared on her face and her shoulders slumped. Suddenly, Shen Tongyu ran away, determined to catch up with that person.

"what--"

Not long after she ran, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her palm. Shen Tongyu hurriedly stopped, woke up instantly, and looked down at her palm.

At some point, a coin-sized wound appeared on the palm of her right hand, and the wound looked like it had been corroded.

And white smoke began to emerge.

The moment he saw the scar on the palm of his hand, Shen Tongyu's face suddenly changed and his body shook.

When she looked at the water again, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.

She realized she was wrong.

If she had known that what lay beneath the Miyun Reservoir was so terrifying, she would never have made the previous arrangements.

Shen Tongyu pressed heavily on several acupuncture points on his body, then turned around resolutely and walked towards where Wang Ye and the others were.

"You went down to check just now. Did you find anything?"

Wang Ye and others stared at Shen Tongyu with anticipation, hoping to get a definite answer from her.

"Keep everyone away from the water and don't get close to those evil spirits. If you are confused and can't come back, I won't be responsible!"

Shen Tongyu nodded, and without giving any detailed explanation, he gave orders to Wang Ye and the others.

"I'll go inform everyone right away!"

Most of the people working were from the Astronomical Department. When Liu An heard Shen Tongyu's words, he immediately became nervous and turned around and ran to other places.

Now that the Qi here has been locked by the thunder tribulation, the signal has long been cut off. If they want to pass on the message, apart from using talismans, they can only use the most primitive way of passing on the message.

The talismans had to be used sparingly before the battle began, so Liu An could only act as a human microphone.

"Wu Gui, have you already dived underwater?" Wang Ye seemed to hesitate for a long time, but still asked this question.

Shen Tongyu nodded, with a complicated expression. She stared at Wang Ye and the others and said, "I'm afraid the dragon's transformation into a dragon will not be able to destroy the thing below the Miyun Reservoir. I was careless this time. The five ghosts, as far as I can tell, have become the food of that thing below.

Once the formation set up here is activated, it will not stop. Once the dragon successfully survives the catastrophe, you must leave here immediately, don't worry about anything, and don't look back. "

Shen Tongyu was in low spirits, his tone full of guilt.

Things have developed to this point and there is no way to rearrange the arrangements. They don't have much time left.

"No, what are you going to do?"

They could understand the first part of the sentence, but the king was a little confused by the second part. Did Shen Tongyu want to stay behind to cover the rear?
"Do you see the Yin Qi on the water? You also noticed that the Yin Qi here is different from ordinary Yin Qi. Do you know why? This is not Yin Qi at all, but demonic Qi!

Now I understand that the existence of Miyun Reservoir is to seal the demon below.

With our current strength, we are simply unable to deal with such an existence, even with the help of formations.

Now, the dragon that sealed the Miyun Reservoir has appeared, and the dragon catastrophe is about to come. The formation has been destroyed. If you want to seal the demon again, the formation eye you need is definitely not something that can be solved with a small compass.

This incident was caused by my error in judgment, and I have the responsibility and obligation to resolve it.

Don't dawdle any longer, the dragon can't wait too long, it's time to activate the formation!"

Shen Tongyu showed a bitter smile on her face. If she had not been forced to do so, how could she have chosen this almost desperate path?
She finally understood what her real fate was.

During this trip to the capital, if Shen Tongyu wants to be reborn from the ashes, he must face this disaster alone, and no one can help him.

"Kiriha——"

No matter whether it was Wang Ye, Taoist Qingfeng or the fat man, they were all stunned when they heard the word "demonic energy".

What did they hear?
Demonic energy? Demon?
Aren’t these supposed to be things that only exist in legends?

No wonder beings like the Five Ghosts would be tempted to dive underwater. It turns out that the first "meal" of the devil after waking up is the Five Ghosts.

I wonder if the five ghosts have ever thought that their end would be to become food for the devil?
Among the three, perhaps only Wang Ye had seen records about the demon in the Wudang classics, while Taoist Qingfeng and the fat man knew almost nothing about the demon and had only heard of his name.

It is said that there was once a demon who suddenly appeared and countless people died at his hands. The magic world paid a heavy price for this, and many masters, determined to die together, sealed the demon with their own flesh and blood.

As for the specific location of the seal, there is no record in the books that Wang Ye read.

He never imagined that the sealed demon in the classics that he once read as a story was actually hidden here in Miyun Reservoir.

Wang Ye knocked his head hard and felt extremely powerless.

After going through mission after mission, he thought he had grown a lot and could face any difficulties bravely, but this time he was facing a devil.

Wang Ye knew very well that even if all of them were put together, they would not be a match for the devil.

"Is there no other way? Let's contact the Director General. I believe he will be able to find a solution!"

Although the fat man was shocked by the existence of the devil, he was not clear about his specific strength, so he was still able to think calmly. Seeing that Wang Ye and the others looked depressed, he seriously put forward suggestions.

"We can't boost others' morale and destroy our own prestige before the battle even begins. We have followed the Bureau Chief all the way here, don't you know what the Bureau Chief is capable of? Forget about the demons, even if the Demon Lord comes, the Bureau Chief will surely beat them to a pulp!"

This is what the fat man really thinks.

At worst, you can just rush in and do it. What's the point of hesitating here?
Could they possibly abandon their companions and escape on their own?

"Yes, find the director. I'll contact him right away!"

After hearing what the fat man said, Wang Ye and the others realized that they were indeed too depressed, and this was not okay!
Wang Ye reached out for his cell phone in panic, his hands shaking slightly uncontrollably, and he couldn't dial a complete number for a long time.

"Don't bother with your phone. There's no signal here. You're so nervous that your brain is confused. Let me do it!"

Seeing Wang Ye's panic-stricken look, the fat man couldn't help but sigh, then took out a talisman from his pocket and lit it.

This talisman was given to him by Huang Miao before he set out, and was specifically used for communication at critical moments, such as when one's cell phone has no signal but one urgently needs to find Huang Miao.

Smoke rose up, and the spell burned out almost instantly. Huang Miao's voice suddenly rang in his ears: "I am Huang Miao, Fatty, what happened?"

"Commander, it's like this. The one suppressed under the Miyun Reservoir is actually a demon. The formation we set up before is probably useless. Even the dragon's transformation tribulation can't destroy this demon. Do you have any solution?"

Shen Tongyu hurriedly began to explain.

It’s strange to say, as soon as I heard Huang Miao’s voice, my previously uneasy heart instantly calmed down.

Just like what the fat man said, as long as the Bureau Chief is there, they can move forward bravely without any worries, and the Bureau Chief will always be their solid backing.

"Tong Yu, I already know the situation at Miyun Reservoir. The deputy director and I are rushing to Jidu by helicopter. Don't worry, just follow the original plan!"

Huang Miao's voice seemed to carry a magical power that made people feel at ease.

The heart that had been hanging in the air ever since I discovered that the devil was hiding here finally slowly settled down.

Wang Ye and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Huang Miao and Zhang Qilin were on their way.

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom--"

Above the sky, the thunder became louder and louder.

The silhouette of the dragon shuttled through the dark clouds, dispersing them, but in the blink of an eye the clouds gathered together again.

The purple lightning gathered into a huge net, pressing towards the dragon like an overwhelming force.

Above the Miyun Reservoir, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and nine colors of light appeared in nine directions at the same time.

The light became brighter and gathered in mid-air, forming a nine-colored barrier.

The moment the nine-colored barrier was formed, the dragon in the clouds let out a long roar, then leaned over and rushed towards the nine-colored barrier.

At this time, if someone stood in the sky and looked down, they would find that in the very center of the nine-colored barrier, there was a hole deliberately left, just big enough for the dragon to rush in.

The giant net of heavenly thunder pressed down, and the nine-colored barrier flickered. If you look closely, you can see a phoenix swimming back and forth on the barrier. Wherever the phoenix passes, the traces left by the heavenly thunder disappear without a trace.

The huge purple net quickly disappeared under the consumption of the Nine-Colored Barrier, leaving only purple lightning flashing back and forth on the Nine-Colored Barrier. (End of this chapter)
