Chapter 268 Come on, let's all go crazy!
Upon hearing Princess Huo Huo's call, everyone turned their gaze in this direction.
Her face was contorted with anger as she pointed in the direction the three men in black robes had disappeared and shouted:
"Those three are evil cultivators. They actually captured Yin spirits to study. I accidentally discovered them, and they tried to kill me to silence me."
Fortunately, I remained vigilant, and when I realized I couldn't succeed immediately, I ran away.
Princess Huo Huo's words stirred up waves among the crowd, and someone asked in confusion:
"If they are human cultivators, why would they take such a risk?"
Once possessed by evil spirits, one can become a walking corpse or a monster.
Upon hearing this, Princess Huo Huo frowned slightly and parted her red lips:
"this···"
She hesitated for a moment, then said seriously:
"Such a secret matter can probably only be known by consulting the true disciples of the major sects."
However, now that I've stumbled upon this matter, I must naturally make it public so that all cultivators in the world will be on high alert.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a burst of laughter came from afar:
"Hehehe... What a sharp-tongued little girl. She killed our people and still dares to distort the truth here."
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a cloud of black mist drifting from the forest, causing all the vegetation to wither in its wake.
A figure could be vaguely seen in the black mist, wearing a bronze mask and exuding a suffocatingly cold aura.
Princess Huo Huo quickly glanced at the system and was surprised to find that she wasn't on the list.
This man knew she had killed his accomplice, yet he had no intention of killing her?
This is unreasonable!
Thinking of this, Princess Huo Huo sent a telepathic message to Bai He, signaling him to be careful.
The masked man said in a sinister tone, "Now that the secret has been exposed, none of those present will leave alive."
Before he could finish speaking, the masked man casually summoned a group of evil spirits.
It just looks a little different from the ones they killed before.
The scene immediately descended into chaos, with cultivators unleashing their magical artifacts to fight back.
This time, Princess Huo Huo's barrier couldn't stop these evil spirits, which clearly means that these evil spirits have been specially refined.
She keenly realized that as her cultivation had improved, her control over the power to ward off evil had become completely different.
"Hold on, everyone!" she shouted, and with a slight turn of her wrist, she temporarily blocked the approaching evil spirits.
This gave the surrounding monks a precious respite.
However, the bronze-masked man remained standing on the edge of the battlefield.
Not only did he show no intention of making a move, but he also crossed his arms and observed with great interest the exorcising power in Princess Huo Huo's hands.
He tilted his head slightly, his gaze behind the mask a half-smile, as if he were watching an interesting performance.
Princess Fire, be careful!
Wang Lei swung the iron pot that crackled with lightning, only to see the pot pierce through the spirit's body as if it had vanished into nothingness.
The evil spirit let out a piercing shriek and nearly tore through his protective spiritual energy with a backhand claw.
Seeing this, Li Wen hurriedly threw out three thunder talismans. Amidst the exploding lightning, the Yin spirit only swayed for a moment before rushing forward again.
"Damn it!" Cold sweat beaded on Li Wen's forehead. "These evil spirits are completely immune to the power of lightning!"
Princess Huo Huo's heart sank.
She looked around and found that the other cultivators were also struggling.
The lightning spells that were most effective against evil spirits in the past were now completely ineffective, and the group could only barely manage to fight back by relying on their agility.
What disturbed her even more was that although the evil spirits were fierce, they never killed anyone. Instead, they trapped everyone in place like cats playing with mice.
The masked man's actions must have a deeper meaning!
Just then, she suddenly noticed the strange patterns faintly appearing on the ground.
The plants that had been touched by evil spirits withered and formed ancient runes on the ground.
Princess Huo Huo suddenly realized: these seemingly fierce attacks from the evil spirits were actually moving along a specific trajectory—they were actually setting up an array!
"These lunatics..." she cursed through gritted teeth, "They actually turned the Yin spirits into living array cores!"
Are these heretical practitioners really that insane? How could they have researched spirits to such an extent?
Seeing the spirits moving mechanically, each step precisely landing on the array nodes, Princess Huo Huo's mind raced.
Since evil cultivators can control spirits, why can't she give it a try?
Otherwise, once the formation is complete, everyone will face certain death.
She didn't care; it was just an avatar, so if it died, it died.
Unfortunately, Bai He, Wang Lei, and Li Wen are also here; these are all people closely related to her.
She couldn't just stand by and watch them die, and besides, she would never hand over the evil-repelling artifact to anyone else.
Thinking of this, Princess Huohuo, wielding the Evil-Slaying Sword, charged towards the Yin Spirit.
To others, it appears as if Princess Huo Huo is chasing after evil spirits, but in reality, she is trying to establish a connection with them through exorcism.
Unfortunately, apart from being chased around by her, these spirits were just like puppets.
Enraged, she threw the weapon at a malevolent spirit. The spirit stopped the moment it was hit by the weapon.
This scene finally changed the expression of the masked man who had been standing outside watching the commotion.
"How is this possible?!" His pupils, hidden beneath his mask, suddenly contracted.
These spirits are perfectly crafted puppets that cannot be interfered with by external forces!
Even if something happens to him, these evil spirits will never have any problems.
But what he saw before him completely shattered his understanding.
Seeing this, the masked man, who had originally intended to slowly torture everyone and capture Princess Huohuo, instantly cast a spell to speed things up.
"The game is over." The masked man's voice suddenly turned cold, and with a flick of his sleeve, the array patterns on the ground abruptly contracted at an accelerated pace!
Before long, the formation beneath their feet began to slowly close in, and some cultivators were unwilling to be trapped.
A cultivator tried to break out of the array's range, but the moment he touched the edge, he was struck as if by lightning, and his soul was forcibly pulled out of his body!
Everyone was horrified, and no one dared to make a move.
The four people on the ground who had been struck by lightning suffered terribly, as the edge of the formation was about to touch their bodies.
Just as their souls were about to be sucked away, Baihe suddenly intervened, sweeping his long sleeves and narrowly dragging them back to safety.
The four people trembled in shock, clearly not expecting that they had almost become nourishment for the formation.
Princess Huo Huo's gaze was like lightning as she stared intently at the masked man: "What exactly do you want?"
The masked man chuckled softly and slowly raised his hand:
"I was originally planning to play along with you, but now..." Black light gathered at his fingertips, "...become sacrifices for the Yin Sha Grand Array!"
The Yin Sha Grand Array? Could it be that this grand array can control Yin spirits?
However, the situation is urgent now, and Princess Huo Huo has no time to think about it anymore.
He kicked away the frozen spirit and continued to use the exorcising technique to smash other spirits.
This will at least delay the formation of the array, and perhaps there will be other opportunities in the future.
"Hey, did you design this Yin Sha Formation? The name is awful, just like you."
