Under the control of Zhuang Hong, the talisman energy of the entire energy-gathering array gradually exited the main body of the array, transferred to the blue crystal mine buried deep underground, and returned to their original position.
The light of the formations on the island also dimmed visibly to the naked eye.
The hum that had enveloped the island from beginning to end also gradually disappeared.
The rune masters on the island suddenly felt that the world was quiet, the lingering sense of threat disappeared, and their bodies and minds relaxed.
Everyone's eyes were looking at the figure in the formation.
"Is it finally over? Logically speaking, it's over..."
But soon they looked at the Nine Speakers who were still bound in place, and said secretly: "No, it is far from over. These culprits have not yet received the punishment they deserve. They must use their lives to pay for the sins they have committed."
However, although they wanted to kill the nine members, they found that they did not have the ability.
We can only wait for Zhuang Hong to take action.
Tu Yang watched the formation dim, and his eyes also dimmed.
He knew that his words had not convinced Zhuang Hong, and his plan was on the verge of failure.
He didn't feel too sad, just some regrets. After all, even if the formation only operated for a period of time, it was enough to cause some changes in his talisman energy, glowing with a ray of white light, and approaching transformation.
Therefore, he knew that his thinking was right and that everything he did was not meaningless.
He firmly believed that as long as it was right, nothing could stop Rune's progress as time went by, not even Zhuang Hong.
"Although Zhuang Hong is strong, he will also grow old and die. A hundred years from now there will definitely be someone as talented as me who will continue my path!"
Thinking of this, Tu Yang smiled unconsciously.
Although his body failed this time, his faith won.
…
There is a small blue crystal mine under the Linghai Gate.
After a long period of accumulation, a large amount of natural talisman energy has grown around the blue crystal mine.
These natural talismans can be stably attached to the blue crystal and will not dissipate.
The energy used by the various rune lights, transportation rail cars, etc. that Zhuang Hong saw on the Linghai Gate all came from these natural runes.
Now, under the action of the energy-gathering array, most of these natural talismans have been mobilized to become the energy for the operation of the energy-gathering array, and only a small part is still attached to the blue crystal.
What Zhuang Hong is doing is to put these gathered talismans back.
But he tried it and found that only part of the talisman energy was successfully attached, and there was still a part of the source power that had nowhere to go. If left alone, it would gradually dissipate.
"It would be a pity to just let these talismans dissipate. If used, they would be enough to maintain the operation of the Spiritual Sea Gate for hundreds of years..."
Zhuang Hong touched his chin and thought for a while, then dug around in his storage bag for a long time, took out a basketball-sized source power storage crystal, and tried to store the talisman energy in it.
Unexpectedly, it was successful.
Huge amounts of talismanic energy continued to pour into the storage crystal, and until all the talismanic energy was stored, it was still not overflowing.
A bold idea suddenly came to Zhuang Hong's mind.
"This type of storage crystal is usually used to store source power, but it can also store talisman energy from the same source, and the stock is still very large. So, is there a possibility to degrade the source power of the Void Spirit into talisman energy? Store it in the storage crystal as an energy source for rune technology?"
Worth a try.
If the source power can be degraded into talisman energy, then the Void Spirit may still have some value, and Zhuang Hong will not kill them all in the future...
Of course, if better energy sources are found in the future, that will be another story.
After everything calmed down, Zhuang Hong opened his eyes and walked out of the formation.
He came to the nine major council members and said: "Teach me all your rune skills. In exchange, I will protect you until you grow old. Otherwise, I will kill you now."
In fact, these old men don't have many years left to live.
If they are willing to share their rune technology, Zhuang Hong doesn't mind letting them die of old age. There is not much difference between left and right.
At this time, one of the councilors snorted: "You are the sinner of all rune masters. How can we teach you the secret of runes?"
Zhuang Hong nodded, then stretched out his finger and lightly hooked it. A thin thread immediately shattered his brain and sent him away without pain.
The congressman trembled all over and fell to the ground silently, bleeding from all his orifices.
The pupils of the other eight congressmen shrank suddenly, and then they realized that Zhuang Hong was not joking with them. If they refused, Zhuang Hong would strike mercilessly.
Zhuang Hong said: "You don't have many years left to live. Instead of falling into eternal sleep with the runes you have studied all your life, you might as well teach me and pass them on to me, and your time in this world will not be in vain."
Another congressman said disdainfully: "Why should I be afraid of death? Even if I die with my hard work, I won't teach you."
Zhuang Hong was about to take action, but Tu Yang immediately stopped him and said, "Wait a minute."
Zhuang Hong looked at him: "What should I say?"
Tu Yang: "I will teach you everything I have learned in my life. And I promise you that from now on, no matter what happens, we will no longer care about it, and we will not have other thoughts. But I have a condition."
"you say."
"I want to write down the theory of Talisman Energy Transcendence, and then find a Talisman Master to pass it on. You are not allowed to block or destroy it."
Zhuang Hong chuckled: "It's up to you, I have no objection."
The other speakers looked at Tu Yang in surprise, wondering why Tu Yang would compromise so easily and why he would pass on his hard work to the enemy. In this way, wouldn't it be an advantage to the enemy?
Tu Yang just said lightly: "We have failed. We are destined not to touch the world of God, and we are all destined to turn into ashes. Now, our life, which is like a candle, is not worth our lifetime's hard work. Just mention it. So, let’s pass on the essence of what we have learned! As long as we pass it on, it doesn’t matter who we pass it on to.”
Having said this, he slowly closed his eyes: "Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I don't want my hard work to be in vain. I have always believed that the future is ours. Do you understand?"
No one else spoke anymore.
At this time, You Huiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "President Zhuang, these traitors cannot be kept here. They are only a scourge if they remain. It is better to eradicate them as soon as possible! Only when they are dead can we build our Spiritual Sea Gate with peace of mind."
Zhuang Hong stepped aside and exposed Tu Yang and others: "Okay, if you want to kill, you come."
You Huiyuan felt the cold gazes of Tu Yang and other congressmen, and was so frightened that he stepped back a few steps, unable to say anything to eliminate the trouble.
He hesitated to speak, unable to say a word. The other Talisman Masters' eyes lingered on Zhuang Hong and the Speakers, and they did not dare to speak.
They felt like a mirror in their hearts. If they lacked Zhuang Hong's protection, then they would probably be killed by the congressmen...
If Zhuang Hong and the congressman are offended together, then the life that was finally saved will be lost again.
Rather than taking the lives of the congressmen, they still want to save their own lives.
Which one is light and which one is heavy, they can tell clearly.
You Huiyuan asked Zhuang Hong for advice: "The reconstruction work of Linghai Gate..."
Zhuang Hong: "I will talk to you about this tomorrow. The most important task now is to search and rescue those who are still alive on the island."
When Zhuang Hong said this, everyone suddenly understood.
You Huiyuan woke up immediately and immediately began to organize search and rescue work.
At this point, the matter has come to an end.
Zhuang Hong waved his hand to remove the filaments from the Speakers' bodies, and said with a smile: "Then, eight Speakers, I hope we will have a pleasant teaching experience in the future."
…
In this incident, those who died were basically intermediate Talisman Masters and some senior Talisman Masters with weak resistance.
Junior Talisman Masters have not yet fully integrated their Talisman Energy and mental power. After their Talisman Energy is drained, there is still a small amount of mental power left, causing them to be seriously injured and comatose. Most of them are not life-threatening, except for a few of the more powerful junior Talisman Masters. died.
But ordinary people, because they did not have talisman energy in their bodies, were actually unscathed in this incident, just hiding in the corner and shivering.
For example, Dai Zhengxin's six students, after Dai Zhengxin found them, all of them couldn't help but have red eyes, and the more fragile ones cried bitterly.
Every time we think about this incident, everyone has lingering fears.
Seeing that the students were all fine, Dai Zhengxin was completely relieved and continued to organize people to carry out search and rescue work at the Linghai Gate.
After experiencing this incident, many Talisman masters spontaneously followed Dai Zhengxin, headed by Dai Zhengxin, and obeyed Dai Zhengxin's arrangements.
There were less than a hundred people in this group, and they were all mid-level talisman masters who had survived by chance around Dai Zhengxin.
At this time, Dai Zhengxin seems to be the backbone, and he regards himself as the dream home.
It wasn't until the search and rescue was completed and the corpses were collected that Dai Zhengxin realized that he had somehow become the boss of a group of people.
"This... I am the boss for the first time, what should I do next?"
