Chapter 595 Another Big Array
Pu Yanlan had been in the demon world for so long, so what she saw and knew was naturally different. As she watched Gu Shiyi shave the disgusting tumor into pieces with a few strokes of the knife, she said,

"This demonic energy is different from the demonic energy in the demon world. It should not be the demonic energy in the demon world. Perhaps it is the demonic energy found somewhere else in the human world!"

Gu Shiyi asked curiously,

"What difference does it make?"

Pu Yanlan said,

"It's just the difference between pure and impure, but only those who have been to the demon world can tell the difference..."

It’s nothing, just familiarity!

Gu Shiyi nodded, frowned and thought for a while,

"I left a way for Fox and the others to get in touch earlier. I don't know if they can come out now. How about we contact them secretly and run away together?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and nodded.

"If this is done by a master, we will definitely not be able to resist. Let's find out the truth first and then think of a way to contact Fox and the others..."

First determine the strength of your opponent, and then decide the direction of your run!

The two of them hid their bodies and sneaked five miles in the direction of Yaoguang City. On a hilltop with dense forests, they found a group of people sitting cross-legged in a circle. They were wearing black robes. The young ones were in their thirties or forties, and the older ones had white hair and beards. Among them, there was a young girl sitting cross-legged alone. She was very beautiful, and the most impressive thing about her was her snow-white skin.

This girl has very white skin, extremely white, a scary white. When contrasted with her jet-black hair and eyes, it gives off a frightening vibe. If you look at her for a long time... you only feel that the white is weird and you can't feel her beauty at all!
"This woman... has an evil aura about her!"

Gu Shiyi could sense something was wrong with her from a distance. After she finished speaking, the woman sitting cross-legged in the middle suddenly raised her head and started talking.

"Who is spying here?"

As he spoke, his eyes flashed, and that gaze was like a substance, shooting straight at the hiding place of the two. Gu Shiyi pulled Pu Yanlan and dodged, and then disappeared from the original place.
"puff……"

Something passed through the place where the two had stopped. Without saying a word, Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan turned around and flew hand in hand. They flew 200 miles in one breath before stopping.
"Huh... That woman is at least in the Nascent Soul stage..."

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"They should be activating the magic circle, so the woman couldn't get away. Otherwise... they should have gotten up earlier and chased after us!"

"So what do you think those people are doing?"

"I think the strange movement of the beasts is probably due to them..."

Pu Yanlan thought about it and said,

"There are a total of eighteen monks sitting cross-legged. They should be setting up the Six-Jia Beast Taming Formation..."

"That's not right. Isn't it Liujia? Why are there eighteen people?"

Gu Shiyi asked, Pu Yanlan smiled and said,
"Six is ​​just an imaginary number. It can be a multiple of six, twelve, eighteen, or twenty-four. The more people there are, the more powerful the formation will be. Of course, this also depends on the level of the cultivator who activated the formation..."

"What does the woman sitting in the middle do?"

That is Liujia, which is the Yang God. Why is there a woman?
Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
"Those evil spirits that came from nowhere are most likely from her..."

At first glance, the woman looked no different from an ordinary person, but her extremely white skin and extremely black eyes showed that she was not practicing any serious martial arts. Also, there was a tumor on the top of the beast's head. Pu Yanlan said,
"She should be using the Liujia Beast Taming Formation to control the beasts to attack Yaoguang City. However, with so many beasts, only one formation here may not be enough. If we want to make it powerful enough, there should be five more of the same formations to form the Liujia Liuyu formation. Only then can we fully control these beasts!"

Gu Shiyi calculated,
"If that's the case, there are at least 108 black-robed cultivators near Yaoguang City. If all of them are at the same level as that woman, then there are six cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage!"

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"There must be someone behind the scenes who can bring all this together!"

By this calculation, there are six cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage alone, and the person behind the scenes is naturally even more powerful!
The two looked at each other, and Pu Yanlan asked,
"How do you get in touch with the foxes?"

Gu Shi said,
"The King's three pine needles..."

These pine needles were taken from the king's tree.

"I just need to burn them... and the King will be able to sense where I am... and will come out to see me..."

Pu Yanlan said, "That's it, let's try it..."

The two lit a pine needle. The king's pine needle was not like an ordinary pine tree. When it was burned by the flame, it immediately turned into a puff of green smoke. However, it did not rise into the air and disperse immediately. Instead, it circled around Gu Shiyi before slowly flying towards the direction of Yaoguang City...

The two waited for about an hour, but the king did not come to see them. Gu Shiyi frowned tightly.
"I don't know whether the message can't be delivered or the king can't come out?"

Pu Yanlan's brows also furrowed.

"In this case, how are we going to get in?"

At this time, the two of them were on a high mountain, about twenty miles away from Yaoguang City. Gu Shiyi had only heard of Yaoguang, a big city built on the plain, but had never been there. Looking down from a high place, this Yaoguang City was like a giant turtle lying on a plain surrounded by mountains. There was not only a main city, but also protruding outer cities on all sides, like the limbs of a turtle connected to the main city. Countless people were running back and forth on the huge stone walls. There were several catapults arranged along the city walls, and the catapults were continuously firing huge stones. These stones flew high with a whistling sound, and then smashed heavily on the ground outside the city. After touching the ground, they exploded instantly, turning into flying stones all over the sky and shooting towards countless beasts nearby. Some beasts dodged nimbly, while others were a little slower and were pierced through the bodies by the stones, and were thrown out with a sky full of blood mist.

And the defenders on the city walls, with arrows and spears in their hands, kept flying into the sky, and then with their trembling tails, they randomly inserted them into the body of a wild beast with red eyes. The whole area outside Yaoguang City was a tragic scene of blood and howling!

The two of them were shocked when they saw this. Gu Shiyi realized something was wrong.
"That's not right. Although these beasts are numerous, it seems that although Yaoguang City is defending the city, it has always been in an advantageous position. Are these people outside making such a big scene just to drive the beasts to their deaths?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and shook her head.
"No, that's not right... The Barbarian King said earlier that Granny Lanhua had been gone for two months, and the reinforcements from the Qingmang tribe also set out a month ago, which means the war has been going on for at least a month or two. During this period of time, these people have been driving wild beasts to their deaths. I'm afraid that the area outside Yaoguang City is already littered with corpses and has been built like a mountain..."

"Yup!"

Gu Shiyi also discovered this problem. The two of them took a closer look and found something strange. After those mad beasts died and fell to the ground, their bodies stayed there for about half a quarter of an hour before turning into a wisp of purple-black gas, drilling into the ground and disappearing!

"What kind of magic is this?"

The two were shocked. The witch god sucked the essence and soul of the people and left a dried corpse. How come outside Yaoguang City, after the beasts died, they didn't even leave a corpse? Pu Yanlan frowned tightly, thought about it, touched his wrists, and summoned Tong Ling.

"Go outside the city and investigate. Find a way to capture a soul and bring it back..."

"Yes, Master!"

Tong Ling nodded in response, turned around and disappeared. After a long time, she didn't come back. Pu Yanlan frowned tightly, pinched her fingers, and her face changed.
"Oh no, Tong Ling and I have lost touch..."

Gu Shiyi was also stunned when he heard this.
"How could it be... Tong Ling's current level of cultivation means she is already a ghost general. How could she lose contact with you so easily?"

Pu Yanlan's face darkened, and she summoned Hong Yi and Zi Yuan again.
"Tong Ling has gone missing after going to investigate. You two should be careful..."

Hong Yi and Zi Yuan were both shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other, nodded, and left. Not long after, Hong Yi and Zi Yuan came back, and both of them still had lingering fear on their faces.

"Master, there is a huge magic circle underground outside Yaoguang City. It is extremely powerful! It is designed to absorb the souls and bodies of humans and animals. Anyone who gets close will be sucked in. Tong Ling must have been caught off guard and was sucked in... and we servants were almost sucked in..."

"A magic array that absorbs people's bodies and souls?"

Gu Shiyi didn't quite understand.

"Is it a trap?"

She had just come out of the Tianluo magic formation, so the first thing she thought of was the trap formation. Hongyi shook her head and said,

"Not really. This kind of magic array is useless to living people. It only absorbs souls, evil spirits, and lifeless bodies..."

"What kind of magic circle is this?"

Gu Shiyi turned to look at Pu Yanlan, who was looking down in deep thought. After thinking for a long time, her brows finally relaxed.
"Could it be the Nine Return Formation?"

"What is the Nine Return Formation? Why haven't I heard of it before? Could it be another formation left behind by some immortal from the ancient times?"

Gu Shiyi asked, Pu Yanlan shook her head and said,

"On the contrary, this formation was not created by an immortal. Instead, after the Great Desolation, too many people died in the human world, so the ghost soldiers and ghost messengers sent by the underworld in this world no longer had enough manpower to collect the wandering souls in the world of the living. Moreover, many of the dead were people with great virtues, who were unwilling to die and turned into evil ghosts. There were too many who became evil spirits and flying corpses. The underworld had no choice but to ask a master from the underworld to create this Nine Returns Formation..."

"What's the use of this formation?"

"After this formation is activated, it will continuously collect souls and bodies of various races after death to prevent them from wandering between heaven and earth and harming the living..."

"From what you said, this formation should not harm anyone!"
