Chapter 596 Give it a try

Pu Yanlan gave a bitter smile.
"It's not to harm anyone. Now I understand why they want to drive those beastmen to die. They want to use the souls of the beastmen to explode the Nine Returns Formation..."

"What... is there such a thing?"

Gu Shiyi's eyes widened.

"Can the magic circle be broken like this?"

Pu Yanlan nodded and said,

"Other magic arrays naturally can't be like this, but the Nine Returns Array can... It was originally created by a master to take in those homeless ghosts and spirits, and also to take back the bodies of those who have lost their souls, in order to prevent them from borrowing the negative energy between heaven and earth and turning into zombies. In theory, when it was created, it was naturally for the sake of peace in this world..."

The function of the Nine Returns Formation is the same as the one at the bottom of the sea. Both are used to accommodate the countless ghosts that appeared due to the sudden outbreak of large numbers of deaths during the prehistoric times. However, this formation appeared after the prehistoric times. After that great outbreak of ghosts, there was no time on this continent worth using this formation. Therefore, there are few records of it in later books, and fewer and fewer cultivators can set it up.

Pu Yanlan said,

"I never thought that there is such a great formation hidden in this wild world, and it is still running. This Jiugui Great Formation uses the number ninety-nine. Other formations are generally imaginary numbers, but this ninety-nine is a real number..."

"What... what do you mean?"

Gu Shiyi blinked in bewilderment. Pu Yanlan said,

"Ninety-nine. If this number is reached, the formation will no longer be able to trap the ghosts and zombies in the formation. They will all rush out..."

"Rush out?"

Gu Shiyi blinked his eyes, thought for a long time and asked,

"What will happen if it rushes out?"

After asking this question, she immediately realized that she had asked a stupid question, and her face changed immediately.

"Won't this wild world be in trouble?"

Pu Yanlan shook her head,
"The number of ninety-nine is very huge. I don't know how many souls and corpses have been collected in this Nine Returns Formation over the years. Anyway, judging from the scale seen today, these beast souls will become more violent after entering the formation. When they rush out, I'm afraid that not only the wilderness but also the entire Central Plains will be harmed... It's only a matter of time!"

"Fuck! Is it that dangerous?"

Gu Shiyi's eyes widened. She thought of those foreign invaders. Their war with the monks from the Central Plains was in full swing.

"I'm afraid there is a big conspiracy behind this, right?"

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"I think so too……"

After saying this, the two of them looked at each other. In the face of such a large-scale war and conspiracy, what could they, two cultivators who had not even reached the top of the Jindan stage, do?

The two were silent for a long time, and Gu Shiyi spoke first.

"If we just leave like this, what will happen to the fox and the king?"

Pu Yanlan also said,
"I can't just leave Tong Ling in that magic circle..."

Although she had been sacrificed by himself, she had stayed in the magic circle for too long and would inevitably be assimilated. If she came out again, she would become a monster that could harm people!

The two looked at each other, and it was Gu Shiyi who spoke first.

"What should we do... Or should we try to rescue them?"

Pu Yanlan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay! I have to try it anyway!"

The two discussed the current situation. Based on Pu Yanlan's experience and intuition as a ghost cultivator,
"I'm afraid this Yaoguang City is not an ordinary city. The Jiugui Great Array is a Yin Array. People in the Yang World cannot live near the Jiugui Great Array, not to mention that it was built under a city. The people in this city..."

Pu Yanlan thought about it and guessed,
"Most of the people in this city are not normal people..."

"Not a normal person..."

Gu Shiyi suddenly remembered what she said to Granny Lanhua when she left the Qingmang tribe.

"Oh, by the way, Granny Lanhua once mentioned that there is also an old thing in Yaoguang City. This old thing didn't live as long as her, but died longer than her..."

"Not living as long as she did...and dead longer than her?"

Pu Yanlan muttered these words, and cast her eyes towards Yaoguang City. She frowned for a long while, and asked Gu Shiyi again,
"Have any barbarians been to this city?"

Gu Shiyi shook his head,

"No, they all said that this city does not allow people to enter or leave easily, so when the barbarian king said he would send people to help, I was surprised for a moment..."

But at that time, I thought that since the beasts were attacking the city, no matter how introverted the people in the city were, they should accept help from others, right?

Now it seems that it is not that simple!
Gu Shiyi told Pu Yanlan about his doubts. Pu Yanlan lowered her head and thought for a while, then said shockingly, "I think most of the people living in this city are not living people..."

"Not a living person?"

Gu Shiyi was surprised, Pu Yanlan nodded and said,
"It should be like this, it's almost certain, that's why they don't allow people to go in and out easily. Those people running back and forth on the wall that we saw in the air just now should be the reinforcements sent by various tribes. The people in the city may not be able to come out to see the daylight, but we will know what it is like inside after we go in..."

After thinking for a while he said,

"According to my guess, if there is a Nine Returns Formation under Yaoguang City, the souls of the dead beasts must be filling the entire formation now. Who knows, the people in the city are fighting with countless beast souls in the formation right now!"

The Yaoguang City is fighting on two fronts, with living people outside and dead people inside!
Gu Shiyi understood a little bit and didn't understand a little bit.

"So many beasts went to such great lengths to drive into the formation just to occupy Yaoguang City, a city inhabited by dead people. Could it be that these cultivators outside are also dead people?"

Pu Yanlan also frowned.
"There is indeed something we cannot figure out. The cultivators outside are not dead. Maybe there are also huge benefits in Yaoguang City like the underground of Wushen Temple?"

"That would explain it!"

In the world of cultivation, profit is paramount. If it weren't for huge benefits, who would travel thousands of miles to a wild land to risk their life?
Gu Shi nodded,

"Then...what can Yan'er do to deal with it?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
"I have a way that I can try..."

After saying that, he looked up at Gu Shiyi.
"Lend me your yellow beast crystal!"

"What's our relationship? Why would we talk about lending or not lending? It's so awkward!"

Gu Shiyi waved his hand generously and handed the yellow beast crystal to Pu Yanlan. Pu Yanlan weighed the beast crystal in her hand and said,

"I want to enter that magic circle, open the Land of Hungry Ghosts in the Nine Returns Formation, and bring in all the souls and zombies in there. Didn't you say that the Land of Hungry Ghosts is boundless? I think it should be no problem to put all the beast souls in the wilderness in there, right?"

Gu Shiyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he gave a thumbs up.

"Yan'er, I noticed that you have become much smarter since your trip to the demon world. Could it be the result of the harmony of yin and yang?"

Pu Yanlan was now afraid that she would bring Jie into the relationship, so she gave her a cold look with anger on her pretty face.
"Let's talk business!"

Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"I'm serious..."

After thinking for a while he asked,
"You went into the magic circle, what should I do?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
"Go to the city and find the fox and the king. They are living people with life and cannot stay in the center of Yaoguang City. The yin energy there is too heavy. If a living person goes in, he will come out dead. Go and bring them out..."

The two also agreed that no matter whether the plan succeeded or not, they would meet here before dark tomorrow and then discuss countermeasures based on the situation!

After the discussion, without further ado, the two of them took out their belongings and divided them up. Because Gu Shiyi was determined not to change her hatchet, and she had her own scales on her body, she didn't want anything, so Pu Yanlan gave her all the pills she had on her, leaving only a few bottles of pills for restoring spiritual power, Yin pills for her minions, and the Dragon Subduing Pill.
"I would like to give you this Dragon Subduing Pill, but it is a pill made with your own blood and essence. It would be harmful if you eat it. It is better to leave it with me to prevent you from accidentally eating it!"

Gu Shiyi nodded. She didn't care. Then she asked her,

"You gave it all to me, what if you need it?"

Pu Yanlan said,

"There are mostly beast souls in that magic circle. I have a bunch of little ghosts, demon corpses, and the hungry ghosts you gave me. It's more than enough to deal with those beast souls!"

After being out there for so long, you still have some vision!
She was not afraid of the countless evil spirits in the formation, but she was afraid that there were too many of them and it would take up a lot of time to find Tong Ling, so she would not be able to return on time!
Gu Shi nodded,

"Okay! In that case... let's go!"

The two flew together to the sky above Yaoguang City. As they got closer, they could hear the deafening sound of killing and the roar of beasts. The smell of blood filled the sky above the city and rushed to their faces with the wind. Pu Yanlan frowned, but Gu Shiyi was excited. She greeted Pu Yanlan,
"Then I'll go down first!"

After Gu Shiyi finished speaking, he rushed down like diving. The people on the city wall saw a man falling from the sky and shouted loudly. Some even raised their spears. Gu Shiyi used his magic power and shouted,
"Grandma Lanhua! I'm Gu Shiyi, I'm here to see you! Grandma Lanhua! Grandma Lanhua..."

Her voice used magical power and was transmitted far away. When the barbarians heard the name of Granny Lanhua, they all stopped and someone came out and shouted,

"Who are you? Why do you know Granny Orchid?"

Gu Shiyi responded loudly,

"I know Granny Lanhua. Please tell her that Gu Shiyi is back!"

As he was talking, he landed on the top of the wall with a thud...

It is said that on the top of the wall, when Gu Shiyi was talking to someone, Pu Yanlan quietly descended to the ground. She aimed at the corpse of an animal that had just died and whose soul had not been taken away yet, and landed on the back of the corpse on tiptoe. At the same time, her spiritual energy circulated, and in a blink of an eye, her whole body was covered by a black air. The whole person instantly looked eerie and no longer had the breath of a living person!
