Chapter 212: Chapter 209 Ten Thousand Ghosts Extermination FormationBlood Swamp, central area. A thick and putrid scent of decay and blood permeated the swamp. Over the past dozen days, personnel from various Sects had also arrived at the heart of Blood Swamp. Gradually, a region that was rarely visited now teemed with people. As the number of people in the area slowly increased, traces left by the Black Demon Sect were gradually discovered. The upper echelons of the various Sects could determine that the remnants of the Black Demon Sect must be nearby. The forces from Heavenly Martial Hall, led by Zhang Wuchen and Murong Yun, being among the strongest, meticulously searched the surrounding area within the Martial Artist army. "Two Hall Masters, a prohibition was found just outside a valley by the disciples ahead." As the forces slowly searched deeper, a figure hurriedly appeared before them—it was Long Zhiyang. "What? A prohibition, lead us there quickly." Zhang Wuchen and Murong Yun exchanged a look and saw a hint of seriousness in each other’s eyes. The prohibition nearby might very well have been set up by the people from the Black Demon Sect. In no time, the multitude from Heavenly Martial Hall reached the exterior of a valley. From the outside, the valley looked quite ordinary, even picturesque, without the slightest anomaly. At the forefront of the crowd, Murong Yun suddenly raised his hand and a Palm Blade sliced through the air. When his Palm Blade hit mid-air, the space suddenly twisted, swiftly neutralizing Murong Yun’s strike. "There indeed is a prohibition." Everyone’s eyes lit up. When Murong Yun’s Palm Blade struck, the prohibition clearly tore apart, creating cracks. Through these cracks, one could distinctly see a different scene within the valley than what was visible from outside. Only by breaking through this prohibition could they discover the valley’s true appearance. "Let’s all strike together at the same location, break the prohibition first." Zhang Wuchen glanced at the others, then circulated his True Qi, while the others also concentrated and raised their True Qi, attacking simultaneously. Bang! With their combined force, the mighty attack landed on the prohibition, instantly warping and twisting it. After being compressed and deformed, a hole ensued, as if the air from the outside poured in violently, and the entire prohibition collapsed in the blink of an eye. Boom! As the prohibition shattered, a shocking blood light erupted from within the valley, shooting directly into the sky, stirring the heavens into a tumultuous vortex. Within a hundred li, nearly all the powerful figures witnessed this anomaly, their expressions varying. "Go!" At the moment the prohibition collapsed, Zhang Wuchen swiftly moved, becoming the first to rush into the valley as a fleeting shadow. After hesitating for a moment, Ling Qianxue and others also quickly followed suit. Other high-ranking experts from various Sects within a hundred li, upon noticing the disturbance, also hurriedly arrived from elsewhere. Such an anomaly signaled that something significant must have happened. Upon entering the valley, the surrounding environment immediately became bloodier and more dense. The air was filled with a chilling energy, a cold that seeped into one’s soul, causing a shiver without coldness. "This place is a bit eerie, be cautious." Murong Yun furrowed his brow and cautioned the others. Without needing further explanation from Murong Yun, everyone knew this place was no safe haven, their expressions tautening. "The remnants of the Black Demon Sect must be hiding in this valley. Everyone, do not scatter too far and see if there are any other mechanisms or prohibitions," Zhang Wuchen instructed everyone. Everyone nodded in agreement, Ling Qianxue gripped her sword tightly and walked in a certain direction, with Long Zhiyang still following closely by her side. "Brother Long, with such a vast valley, must you stick by my side?" Ling Qianxue frowned, her wariness towards Long Zhiyang strong, naturally not giving him the chance to follow her alone. "I’m just worried about your safety, Xue’er. Since you don’t want me to follow, then I won’t," Long Zhiyang shook his head, showing a regretful smile, seemingly unconcerned as he walked in a different direction. Ling Qianxue remained indifferent to this, and continued her search without any concern. "Hmph, despicable woman, sooner or later, you’ll beg for life at my hands and yearn for death without release!" After Ling Qianxue had walked a distance, Long Zhiyang’s chilly gaze lingered on her graceful figure. He knew she had grown suspicious of him, but it did not matter. After this was over, everyone from the Heavenly Martial Hall would be dead, and Ling Qianxue would be reduced to his slave, at his mercy. He sneered, curious to see what his aloof junior sister would be like beneath him, serving his pleasure. A smirk of satisfaction flashed across Long Zhiyang’s face. As time passed and the prohibition outside the valley was broken, more powerhouses entered the valley, including experts from the Wildfire Sect and Xingyun Pavilion. At that moment, in an inconspicuous part of the valley, a figure in a ragged grey robe wandered around, unremarkable in appearance. Had Ling Qianxue been there, she would have easily recognized that this ordinary-looking individual was none other than Ye Xuan. When the people of the Heavenly Martial Hall had broken the prohibition, Ye Xuan, who was nearby, rushed over immediately. "Kid, you knew there were traps here, and still, you dove headfirst into them?" While Ye Xuan searched around, the voice of the Flood Dragon also emerged from the Beast Soul Token. "The location of the Blood Soul Pond is right here, what else can I do? ’No entrance to the tiger’s den, no obtaining the tiger’s cub.’ With so many people, are we afraid we can’t break out?" Confident and bold, Ye Xuan proceeded despite being warned by Mu Yan that the Black Demon Sect had already set traps. After all, his target was the Blood Soul Stone, nurtured by the souls of hundreds of thousands of people; not only was it greatly beneficial for cultivation, but crucially, it could aid in repairing his incomplete Martial Arts Primordial Spirit. Even if the effect of the Blood Soul Stone was limited, it was a rare commodity that could restore the Martial Arts Primordial Spirit, even just slightly, and thus could not be overlooked by Ye Xuan—it was something he must obtain. Moreover, with experts from the Six Great Sects entering in succession, he wanted to see what tricks the Black Demon Sect had up their sleeves to be so confident in trapping so many strong practitioners. This wait lasted for ten minutes. Suddenly, a world-shaking surge of energy erupted from the depths of the valley! A dense, ink-like black aura, like an endless mass of clouds that could never disperse, instantly filled the entire valley sky. In the thick darkness, howls of ghosts and wolves resounded alarmingly around the valley. Quickly, above the valley, numerous terrifying giant ghost faces appeared, as if thousands of lonely souls were wandering above, casting an intensely cold and mighty presence, sealing the entire valley within. The moment these lonely souls appeared above the valley, all the black aura converged within the valley, and in an instant, daylight turned to night. Every martial artist in the valley, equipped with spiritual sensitivity, could deeply feel the terrible pressure emanating from above. "It’s the Black Demon Sect’s Ten Thousand Ghosts Extermination Formation!" Murong Yun’s eyes twinkled as he recognized this terrifying technique filled with aggressive energy after observing the valley sky for a moment. "Ten Thousand Ghosts Extermination Formation?!" Leng Ruofeng exclaimed in horror, "The Ten Thousand Ghosts Extermination Formation, rumored to be one of the Black Demon Sect’s most formidable evil arrays, has claimed the lives of countless righteous Sect masters, including the former Sect Leader of Wildfire Sect. This formation, once deployed, is like opening the gates of Hell itself, ensuring death, leaving even Martial Sect Masters unable to escape." "It’s not that exaggerated," Murong Yun glared at him, "Although the Ten Thousand Ghosts Extermination Formation is powerful, activating it consumes immense energy. Even the Black Demon Sect, where would they find so many souls? With so many experts here, could it really kill us all in one go? Focus and prepare to fight." "Yes!" Everyone from Heavenly Martial Hall nodded, but Long Zhiyang’s eyes suddenly flashed with a sinister light, and the corners of his mouth curling into a strange smile. For he knew that beneath the valley laid the Blood Soul Pond, burying hundreds of thousands of lost souls. The Ten Thousand Ghosts Extermination Formation, having been in place for a long time, naturally drew upon an unending source of power. "So it’s the Ten Thousand Ghosts Extermination Formation, no wonder the Black Demon Sect is so confident in trapping the elite practitioners from the Six Great Sects." As Ye Xuan observed the overwhelming and malevolent spirits nearly blotting out the sky, he was slightly shocked; he finally understood the means Black Demon Sect employed against the major Sects. "So what are you planning to do, help out?" asked the Flood Dragon. "Not helping, and can’t help either. This grand array relies on the Blood Soul Pond, teeming with innumerable Evil Souls. Killing them is futile. Rather than wasting energy here, it’s better to quickly locate the Blood Soul Pond, find the Blood Soul Stone, and destroy the core of the formation. That way, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Extermination Formation will collapse on its own." Ye Xuan swung his sword, slicing through a howling Evil Soul, then thrust the Spiritual Edge Sword into the ground. Around him, the sword’s pressure formed a semi-circular defense, repelling the flying Evil Souls. Meanwhile, Ye Xuan activated the Divine Sense Detection Method, quietly probing the surroundings. After a moment, he stood up and slowly walked forward, multitasking between searching and swinging his sword to fend off Evil Souls, searching for any trace.
