Everyone turned their gaze and saw that the man’s palm, on the center of his hand, seemed to have been corroded by something, with the flesh emitting a foul stench. His companion immediately began to apply medicine to treat him.
“Everyone, do not touch these seals!”
Without needing to be told, everyone retreated hastily.
Shang Tianqing, however, was not willing to give up. He walked to other areas outside the city wall and sprinkled golden powder. For a distance of more than ten miles wide and hundreds of feet high, there were invisible seals everywhere.
They were truly trapped!
It was only at this moment that Dongfang Yu cursed, “Damn it, that bastard Ye Wushuang.”
Now, everyone suddenly realized that the group from Spirit Sword Mountain had not gathered towards the city gates but had instead moved closer to a nearby green pillar within the city. It was Ye Wushuang who had led them there!
That wretched boy had known from the beginning that the ancient city had already been sealed off.
“Stop cursing!”
Hua Yuliu from Taiqing Palace said coldly, “We should also quickly return. That green pillar might hold some mystery.”
Everyone was intelligent and immediately understood. They all turned back.
However, as more than a hundred figures retreated, blood-red skeletal figures from all around the streets lunged at them. Battle was now inevitable.
“Kill!”
“Follow me and fight!”
“Head towards the nearest green pillar.”
Immediately, the people of the Li Clan, led by Li Qingyao, Li Baifeng, and Li Yanran, charged forward. Those from the Heavenly Mechanism Hall, led by Shang Yunshang, Duan Xingqing, and Wanyan Chuxue, also fought their way out. Dongfang Yu and Xiao Ge from the Holy Dan Sect, Prince Yu Hao and Hua Yuliu from Taiqing Palace, Shang Tianqing from the Giant Sword Sect, and Prince Tian Yuanbing from the Tianyan Dynasty all led their people to fight in various directions…
On the other side, warriors from the six great powers and various forces were engaged in fierce combat.
Meanwhile, with Ye Wushuang and Mu Zili’s group,
they arrived in front of the green pillar.
This green pillar was located within a mansion, with a ten-zhang-wide pillar enveloping a pavilion inside the mansion. Ye Wushuang thrust his sword forward, and the pillar immediately unleashed a more ferocious counterforce, swallowing Ye Wushuang.
Mu Zili, Ji Ou, Jiang Yihan, and others all looked over.
“How’s it going, Brother Ye?”
Ji Ou asked urgently.
The gathering blood-red skeletal figures were increasing in number. There were already seventy or eighty of them, and more were coming from the distance.
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but say, “This is a kind of sealing technique. I need time to break it.”
“Alright!”
Mu Zili said, “You focus on breaking it. We can hold these blood-red skeletal figures for a while.”
In reality, they had no choice but to hold on.
They had already seen that Dongfang Yu, Yu Hao, Tian Yuanbing, and others had retreated from the city gates.
Apparently, as Ye Wushuang had said, the Tianlin Ancient City had been sealed off.
It was likely that when the ten-thousand-foot blood-red pillar rose into the sky, the entire city had been sealed.
That is to say, the green pillar before them might be their only hope.
Otherwise…
In this vast ancient city, with these blood-red skeletal figures continuously emerging, everyone… might be killed.
Around them, the fighting continued without cease.
Ye Wushuang stood in front of the pillar, and within his palm, countless spiritual patterns began to gather. In an instant, tens of thousands of patterns radiated out, adhering to the surface of the pillar.
The spiritual patterns combined and tugged at each other, forming symbols that would then shatter and reassemble.
Ye Wushuang was searching for a way to break the seal of the pillar.
Suddenly,
Buzz…
A buzzing sound emanated from the surface of the pillar.
Ye Wushuang realized something, clenched his palm, and slapped it against the pillar. His entire body was then drawn into the range of the green pillar.
“Done!”
Ye Wushuang said immediately, “Come in quickly.”
Instantly, figures rushed out from within the pillar without any obstruction.
There had been more than twenty people just a moment ago, but now, seven or eight had already been killed by the blood-red skeletal figures. Only a dozen or so remained alive, with several of them severely injured.
And when everyone entered the green pillar, they did not let their guard down.
It was still uncertain whether the green pillar could truly keep the blood-red skeletal figures out!
However, when a few of the blood-red skeletal figures, driven by impulse, pursued and touched the green light, their entire bodies were instantly incinerated, turning to ashes that scattered on the ground.
It was only upon seeing this that everyone truly breathed a sigh of relief.
The green pillar really could keep those blood-red skeletal figures out!
“Good heavens!”
Ji Ou, now covered in blood and the stench of decay, collapsed to the ground and cursed, “What the hell is this?”
“Senior Ji Ou…” a disciple, looking at Ji Ou, couldn’t help but stammer, “Your head…”
“What’s wrong with my head?” Ji Ou was startled and quickly got up.
