Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

"Then shall I continue?" The oiran, who was ready to give the people of Hehuan Valley a little surprise across the barrier, asked Qian Lin while holding a small ball of light in her hand.

"Throw it at those guys from Hehuan Valley. It would be best if Hehuan Valley could lose a few more masters at this time." Qian Lin nodded. Since Hehuan Valley sent a few more masters, there was no reason for him not to happily accept them.

254. Coincidence

"What do you think of using this place as a sacrificial array?" Standing in front of a small dilapidated temple, a master from Hehuan Valley asked his companions.

His companion turned his head to look at the Yao Chi base, silently estimated the distance in his mind, and nodded with satisfaction.

The distance is neither too far nor too near, and the nearby terrain is suitable for setting up formations. It is simply perfect.

"I think it's a good idea to tear down this temple. This place will be the perfect center of the formation." The people of Hehuan Valley don't have any idea of ​​respecting gods. Besides, this is just a dilapidated temple and no one comes to worship. What kind of god could be enshrined in it?

Out of caution, the two masters even went into the small temple to take a look inside. After discovering that a strange dragon-headed man was enshrined inside, they looked down on the small temple even more.

Those who are worshipped are not human beings. There is no need to give them face. Just push them down.

"Okay, then let's go this way. Let others bring all the offerings here." The master who spoke first slapped his palm towards the small dilapidated temple, and the dilapidated temple, which had been in disrepair for many years, collapsed instantly under the master's palm.

The master waved his palm again and swept the ruins of the dilapidated temple aside.

The formation masters of Hehuan Valley who had been waiting on the side immediately rushed forward and began to set up the sacrificial formation with the ruins of the small dilapidated temple as the center.

One of the monks from the Hehuan Valley who was setting up a formation discovered that there seemed to be something mysterious about the ground of this small, dilapidated temple. But before he could observe it carefully, he heard the master's scolding from behind, telling him not to be lazy.

There was no way, the cultivator could only put this little doubt behind him and continue to place the formation materials in his hand on the ground.

But for some reason, his heart was shrouded in a haze, as if he had just overlooked something very important.

……

"No, what are those guys from Hehuan Valley doing? Why are they trying so hard to protect the hostages? Are we the bad guys or are they the bad guys?"

Watching several masters of Hehuan Valley put up a protective shield to protect the trembling civilians from the large-scale attack of the courtesan, Qian Lin felt that there must be something wrong with the brains of these people in Hehuan Valley.

You are kidnappers, not good people who protect hostages. You should use the hostages as shields to threaten us Yao Chi, and then be smashed to death by the courtesan with indiscriminate attacks.

Instead of putting up a protective shield to protect these civilians like we are doing now!

What you have done makes it seem like we in Yao Chi are the bad guys, and you in Hehuan Valley are the good guys.

Qian Lin, who was standing at the gate, couldn't stand it any longer, so he took the initiative to shout to the people from Hehuan Valley, "Don't hold on, or just take the hostages and move away, so that we can't reach you."

Qian Lin's voice was quite loud, and the masters of Hehuan Valley who were struggling under the attack of the courtesan actually heard Qian Lin's advice clearly.

They were suddenly moved. This white-haired guy was so kind-hearted that he couldn't bear to see us being beaten!

But since you have a kind heart, we cannot retreat. We must let you see these civilians being executed by us. We will never let you retreat before the time is up!

"Just wait, these hostages will all die soon! Hahaha!"

The response from Hehuan Valley came back, making Qian Lin feel a little bit amused and helpless. If you had removed the protective shield earlier, these hostages would have been blown to pieces by the courtesan.

Why bother now?

"Then you should kill the hostages now. We in Yao Chi will never surrender! Not now, and not in the future!"

"Humph, do you think we will fall for your provocation? You must be secretly preparing to rescue these hostages. You are saying this now just to make us let down our guard!"

No, we didn't think about rescuing the hostages, don't think about it! Qian Lin took a breath of cold air. The people in Hehuan Valley were really good at making up their minds. What were they thinking about?

Shaking his head, Qian Lin felt that he had nothing in common with these guys.

Turning around and telling the courtesan to use less strength and consume more of the energy of the masters of Hehuan Valley, Qian Lin went back to his room.

As soon as she entered the room, Qian Lin was startled by the strange sight in the room. She saw Ye Qiuhan sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room. All the cipher papers she had copied before were floating in the air, surrounding Ye Qiuhan.

Those ink-black eyes were tinged with a hint of green, and she stared at the secret texts beside her with a serious expression.

Seeing Ye Qiuhan's serious look, Qian Lin immediately covered his mouth, fearing that any sound he made would interfere with Ye Qiuhan's decryption.

It feels like I came at the wrong time? Thinking this in his heart, Qian Lin took a step back, wanting to leave quietly without disturbing Ye Qiuhan's work.

But before she left the room, Ye Qiuhan asked Qian Lin to stay, "Just stand here. I'm not the one interpreting these things anyway."

Ye Qiuhan was just pretending, it was still the Saint who was doing the work.

"So how's the progress? What have you figured out?" Qian Lin felt relieved after hearing Ye Qiuhan's words. She put down her hand that was covering her mouth and asked curiously.

"The saint has already deciphered part of it. The small temple where I hid before is indeed closely related to Azure Dragon. But to know what kind of relationship it is, we still need the saint to decipher some more secret codes." Ye Qiuhan scratched his head. The saint was teaching Ye Qiuhan the meaning of these words while deciphering them, but she could only recognize a few of the secret codes so far.

"Look, these two ciphertexts refer to Azure Dragon."

"It looks like a ghost's drawing. It's a good thing that the Saint can recognize it." Qian Lin said with some emotion. His knowledge reserve is still not as good as that of the Saint, a genuine disciple of the holy land. It is amazing that she can even recognize such things.

"And these...wait, Qian Lin, the Saint said she has made a great discovery!"

"what?"

"I can't explain it clearly, just talk to her directly!" The coded wall around Ye Qiuhan collapsed in an instant, and she took a few steps forward, grabbed Qian Lin's hand, and pulled Qian Lin to her side.

Taking Qian Lin to sit on the bed, Ye Qiuhan gently pressed his forehead against Qian Lin's.

Such an exchange had taken place once before, and Qian Lin soon met the Saint in the familiar heavenly tribulation illusion. This time, the Saint's expression was more serious than the previous times.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the news she revealed shocked Qian Lin.

"I think I know where the Azure Dragon is sealed."

Qinglong?

Do you know where this thing is sealed?

Isn't this reasonable? Did you find the Azure Dragon in your previous life?

"where is it?"

The saint stretched out a finger and pointed at the soles of her feet.

"It's right under our feet." She said in a flat tone.

Qian Lin was confused. She had anticipated how explosive the news the Saint would tell her would be, but she never expected that the news would be so explosive.

Is there a green dragon buried beneath the capital of the Canglong Empire?

Aren't we standing on a super time bomb? If Qinglong turns over a little, we will be completely finished!

“Don’t worry. The destruction of the Canglong Empire by Hehuan Valley in the previous life did not cause the Azure Dragon’s mutation. This shows that the Azure Dragon’s seal is still quite stable. Moreover, the information I interpreted did not directly say that the Azure Dragon was sealed here.” The saint shook her head and told Qian Lin the good news.

“That small temple should be just a passage, or a gate, leading to the place where the Azure Dragon is sealed.”

In fact, the seal of Suzaku is almost the same, but the situation on Suzaku's side is more serious. The sealed space is almost integrated with the real world. Perhaps the powerful man was a little careless when he sealed Suzaku, or perhaps Suzaku's character is more brutal than the other beasts.

"This line of words is the way to the place where the Azure Dragon is sealed. We need to inject extremely terrifying energy into the area where the statue is located in order to activate the mechanism inside and open the door." The Saint waved her hand, and several lines of secret text flashing green light appeared in the air. "The amount of spiritual energy required is at least that of a Venerable, who must pour all his spiritual energy into it."

So, the gate is actually quite safe. Qian Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Now only the Saint knew this secret. It is impossible that a bored venerable just happened to run to the small temple and madly piled spiritual power on that place, right?

What a coincidence it must be for this to happen.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"I think we both have the same idea, right? It's better not to touch things like divine beasts if possible." Qian Lin cast a questioning look at the saint.

The saint nodded, and Qian Lin obviously thought the same as she did.

The divine beast is too powerful. Once something goes wrong, the whole world will face a devastating disaster.

Qinglong never had any problems in his previous life, so just leave it here in this life. The best outcome is that everyone lives in peace.

There is also a very troublesome Vermillion Bird to be dealt with in the south, and the Saint does not want to temporarily double the workload.

"That's right. Only you and I can know this news. You must not let anyone else know it."

……

"The formation has been set up, and the first batch of sacrifices have all been delivered. We can start our plan now." Grandmaster Hehuan Valley nodded to his companions.

They were standing high in the sky at this moment, looking down at the huge sacrificial array below.

This sacrificial formation is centered on the small dilapidated temple. It can refine tens of thousands of people into pure spiritual energy at a time, and gather the collected spiritual energy into the center of the formation. Through the attack formation in the center of the formation, the spiritual energy is transformed into an extremely terrifying attack.

As long as enough living people are thrown into the formation, releasing an attack comparable to that of a Venerable will not be a problem!

Normally, this kind of thing is quite impractical. After all, no fool would stand there and let such a thing hit him. But today, what Hehuan Valley has to deal with is a thing that can only stand there.

"Humph, with just one strike, Yao Chi's tortoise shell will be completely shattered by us. I want to see what tricks they can use without that tortoise shell!"

These two Grandmasters were both in the early stage of Grandmaster status and were in the encirclement that Yao Chi broke through yesterday. However, looking at the formation under their feet, they were full of confidence at this moment, almost as confident as they had yesterday evening.

How can you deal with such a large formation?

If you have the guts, rush out and stop us, do you have that guts?

If Yao Chi really rushed out, Hehuan Valley would be happy instead. After all, the goal had been achieved before the formation was even used, and a lot of sacrifices could be saved.

The civilians of the imperial capital are very valuable resources in the eyes of Hehuan Valley, and can be converted into cultivation. If they are all used to deal with Yao Chi, it would be a great loss.

Following the order from the two masters, the formation began to operate. Along with the wailing of countless people, the lines in the formation were gradually dyed crimson. The red color gradually filled every corner of the formation and then slowly flowed towards the core of the formation.

A wave of spiritual energy that was strong enough to make the two masters take it seriously emanated from the formation under their feet, indicating that the formation was running quite smoothly.

Rumble…

Thick dark clouds suddenly appeared above the sky, completely obscuring the clear blue sky. The uncomfortable sound of muffled thunder continued to ring out, as if foreshadowing something.

The people of Hehuan Valley did not find it strange. Refining living people into spiritual energy was an act against the will of heaven, and it was normal for heaven and earth to react to it.

These demons have seen such scenes countless times.

"The spiritual energy is not enough. We need to gather a large amount of spiritual energy and blast it towards Yao Chi's base to directly smash their turtle shells."

"The next batch of sacrifices is on the way. We will soon see the horrified expressions of those women in Yao Chi. Hahaha!"

The two masters of Hehuan Valley did not notice that there was something unusual in the core of the formation right below them. The spiritual power that should have been accumulated here was being quietly extracted. Basically, as much spiritual power as the formation sent over was stolen.

In the underground secret room where Ye Qiuhan had stayed before, red lines hung down from the wall and along the floor, gradually converging to form a strange dark red formation.

Crack, crack... The walls of the secret room began to shake, and cracks appeared on the walls, as if the walls that had experienced countless years would shatter in the next moment.

The formation in the center of the floor emitted an ominous red light, and the dragon-like creature drawn on it became gradually clearer with the continuous infusion of spiritual energy. It was exactly the same statue that Ye Qiuhan had seen before.

Roar...The faint sound of a dragon's roar echoed in the secret room, but no one could hear it.

And right above the secret room, the master of Hehuan Valley finally discovered something was wrong. There had been so many people piled up here, so why was there still only so little spiritual energy accumulated in the center of the formation?

Could it be that something has stolen the spiritual energy?

But what else could absorb so much spiritual power so calmly?

too weird.

255. Punish evil and promote good?

After lowering the altitude a bit, the two masters from Hehuan Valley looked around at the formation beneath their feet, but could not figure out what was wrong.

The structure of the formation was complete. Hehuan Valley had set up this kind of formation countless times, so it would not be set up incorrectly. Moreover, the disappeared spiritual energy was not leaked, but was stolen by something.

If it was a spiritual energy leak, then they would definitely see a large ball of red spiritual energy by now. It shouldn't be too obvious.

The current situation is more like a gluttonous beast hiding under the formation, opening its big mouth and swallowing the spiritual energy collected by Hehuan Valley.

"Something's wrong... I think we should ask Master Yue Sheng to come and take a look." One of the masters frowned. This was a strange thing he had never encountered before, and he was a little undecided.

What could so easily devour such a large amount of spiritual energy? He simply couldn't think of it. Anyway, it was definitely not something a human could do.

"You go report to Lord Yue Sheng, I'll go down and take a look." The other master nodded and agreed to his companion's suggestion.

This strange situation really needs Yue Sheng to take a closer look.

After reaching a consensus, the two masters started to act separately. One went to get reinforcements, and the other landed in the center of the formation to find the cause of the problem.

And this search actually allowed him to find the reason why the spiritual energy disappeared.

I saw a large number of red stripes appearing at the original location of the small temple. It was these stripes that stole the spiritual energy gathered in the formation and sent this huge spiritual power underground.

So, what is hidden under this small temple?

The Grandmaster's heart suddenly began to beat violently. He seemed to see a door full of opportunities appearing in front of him. He only needed to gently push the door open to obtain those opportunities buried deep underground and become a genius of his generation.

Reason told him that he should wait for his companions to call Yue Sheng over so that they could explore the secrets together. However, greed in his heart soon swallowed up his reason and he wanted to monopolize the treasure.
