"The world is too scary. I would have been more comfortable studying in Yangshuo."
Xu Zhong shook his head, as if to get those thoughts out of his mind.
He has decided.
After leaving Yujingtai this time, I went back to Yangshuo, found a mountain top, practiced in seclusion, and never went out again.
"I was just forced to go down the mountain by Shi Yao at first, so why did I get involved in these things?" Xu Zhong really couldn't understand.
What he experienced should not be experienced by a Five Lights Realm Qi Refiner.
Gengjin Qi.
White light circled past, and countless nightmares died.
"Here!" someone yelled.
Hear the sound and look.
Formation flags hovered high in the sky.
This seems to be a big formation.
The people in the formation were calling.
One person and one demon looked at each other and then entered the big formation.
People keep coming in.
Those holding the flags from all directions were unable to catch up, and eventually the flags fell, unable to protect everyone.
People outside the formation had no time to curse and hurriedly looked for other ways to survive.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help!" Xu Zhong thanked the flag bearer who called them into the formation, and then stood close to Dun Xuan.
"Tell me, how many real people are there and how many nightmare demons are there?" Dunxuan asked softly in Xu Zhong's ear: "Tell me, do they know that nightmare demons have the ability to seize bodies?"
Xu Zhong scanned the audience.
People were sitting or standing, either in groups of two or three, and no one was alone.
"They should know." Xu Zhong replied: "That's why they called the two of us into the formation."
More than two people means the risk is reduced.
Because each other can guarantee each other's identity.
Either both of them are nightmares, or both of them have no problem.
The four flag holders were also very careful to avoid everyone and moved closer to each other.
They all have a palm-sized formation flag in front of them, which is the general flag of hundreds of formation flags in the four directions of the formation. By controlling the general flag, they can control other formation flags and change the formation.
Almost everyone was staring closely at the four people, or rather, the general flag on their chests.
The existence of the nightmare deepened their mutual suspicion.
Uncertainty makes everyone nervous.
I'm afraid that I will be the next one to be stuffed into the shrine.
"If I were the four of them, I would definitely not let so many people in." Dun Xuan lowered his voice.
They occupied a northwest corner.
"There are a total of one hundred and sixty-two Qi Refiners, including 92 human Qi Refiners and 70 non-human Qi Refiners." Xu Zhong counted all the people in the formation.
"If we have a group of four, we can barely divide it into forty groups."
Dunxuan understood Xu Zhong's thoughts through the words "groups of four": "Indeed, forty groups can ensure the stable operation of the formation."
The celestial phenomena were changed.
The change of day and night also fell into chaos.
No one knows when the next day will arrive, not even Dunxuan.
Even if such a large formation exists, individual power can only last for a period of time.
Therefore, the four flag-bearers need more people to alternately hold the formation flags, maintain the formation, and wait for life.
Everyone understands this.
Everyone present is a flag bearer and a supervisor.
Because it is impossible to determine whether the person holding the flag is a nightmare in disguise.
Once the Nightmare takes hold of the formation flag, someone needs to take action in an instant to kill the Nightmare.
Controlling such a large formation consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
An hour later, the spiritual energy in the four people's bodies was about to run out.
"Replacement!"
The first to take over the overall flag was naturally the four-member team.
They took over the general flag and injected spiritual energy into it.
There are only six such four-person teams.
In other words, after six hours, the number of people will be dispersed, and more variables will be born.
Dunxuan stared at the general flag, and Xu Zhong stared outside the formation.
Outside the large formation, the Nightmare Demon almost caused a one-sided massacre of the Qi Refiners.
There are too many nightmares.
And manpower is exhausted.
Good and false in things are the embodiment of the wisdom of living beings.
There are many large formations like Xu Zhong's on the Nightmare Grass Sea, and they also protect many people.
In addition to formations, there are also magic weapons!
The magic weapon is special and can also protect the owner of the magic weapon.
But no matter how mysterious the formations and powerful magic weapons are, they can't change the fact that they are trapped in this sea of nightmare grass.
"Will the celestial phenomena still change?" Xu Zhong asked.
Dunxuan shook his head: "At this moment, the celestial phenomena are in chaos. Even the most powerful astrologer cannot see the celestial phenomena!"
The implication is that he doesn't know when the celestial phenomena will change.
"Perhaps, the only thing that can allow us to escape is the appearance of another strong person."
Xu Zhong agreed with this.
But the strong ones are not in the same space as they are.
Boom!
They started trying to break the formation.
After a large area of Qi Refiners was slaughtered, their targets would naturally be Xu Zhong and others.
"Let some nightmares come in." The first four people have already appeared on the edge of the formation.
They took out their magic weapons and held them high.
The person holding the flag understood it and said, "Three breaths?"
"Can!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Qi Refiner in charge of Dongfang's flag tore a hole in Dongfang.
One breath!
The nightmares were overjoyed and rushed into the formation regardless of their safety.
Two breaths!
The magic weapon fell and killed some of them.
The other Qi Masters took action and strangled the remaining ones.
Three breaths!
Another nightmare rushed in.
Some of them were beheaded, and some of the nightmares in the middle of the mouth were crushed into pulp by the re-closing formation.
"Two breaths!" To the west, a Qi Refiner also spoke.
The flag-bearer in charge of the West also made an opening.
Xu Zhong and Dunxuan will not sit idly by.
Xu Zhong sacrificed the rattle given to him by the little fox.
When the first nightmare appeared, Xu Zhong shook the rattle.
Under his control, he bombarded the incoming Nightmare.
But the nightmare didn't react at all, never stopped, and rushed forward regardless.
He then continued shaking the rattle.
Again nothing changes.
The two-breath time is over.
The mouth closed again.
"They have no souls!" Xu Zhong said to Dunxuan.
"What do you mean?" He looked at the rattle in Xu Zhong's hand.
"My magic weapon is aimed at the soul. One blast shakes the soul, and two blasts shake the soul."
"If they have souls, they will be stagnant for a short time when I hear one sound, and their souls will be blasted out by the second sound..." Xu Zhong looked at the rattle and explained: "You see they haven't changed at all. In my opinion, this is different from them." It has nothing to do with souls.”
Xu Zhong lowered his voice: "You have so many eyes, but one of them can see through the reality of the soul?"
Dunxuan felt offended when he heard Xu Zhong's words: "I have such an eye."
Then, Xu Zhong saw the forty-ninth eye appearing on Dunxuan's body.
Located between his eyebrows.
These eyes were like bright mirrors, shining on Xu Zhong.
Xu Zhong felt a stabbing pain in his brain, a splitting headache, and a sense of confusion.
His soul was reflected in the forty-ninth eye.
"Look, I can bring out souls, but as long as I take a look at you, you will end up like you just now. Do you think that if I look at you one by one, the one who gets killed will be a nightmare?"
Xu Zhong recovered.
"This is indeed not a good idea!"
If you really look at them one by one like Dun Xuan said, you may be the first to be killed as a nightmare before you can find out whether there is a nightmare.
"It's a pity that my cultivation level is not enough." He looked at the rattle helplessly.
If he has enough cultivation, he can shock everyone's souls out of their bodies with just a shake.
By then, it will be clear who has a soul and who does not.
Xu Zhong thought for a while and then announced this information to everyone.
"How can you see it?" someone questioned.
Xu Zhong explained to everyone in the same words.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Then, everyone began to look at each other.
Everyone who does not belong to their own team seems to be the nightmare without a soul.
"I feel like your words have deepened each other's suspicions?" Dun Xuan looked at these people and understood the doubts on their faces.
"But hiding it is unrealistic!" Xu Zhong said: "If there are really nightmares hiding among us, then if we know more about them, we will have a better chance of winning."
After Xu Zhong finished speaking, someone verified it.
It's not specific to this time.
There was a gap in the formation again.
The nightmare followed these openings and entered them.
In the first wave of spells, everyone cast soul spells in tacit agreement.
Useless!
The second group of people immediately took action to kill these nightmares.
The result is very obvious.
Nightmare has no soul.
They are more of a human skin.
Defense is further deepened.
But Xu Zhong, the instigator, continued to observe the nightmares in the outside world as if nothing had happened.
"What are you looking at?" Dunxuan found that Xu Zhong seemed to be fascinated.
"You said before that nightmares are born out of humans and are the manifestation of human ignorance. Is there a possibility that these nightmares still uphold human ignorance!"
"What do you want to say?" Dun Xuan really didn't understand what Xu Zhong wanted to say: "First of all, although I have many eyes, I cannot see the abstract product of ignorance."
"Ignorance means ignorance, that is to say, their wisdom is limited!" Xu Zhong pinched his chin, raised his head and thought: "If we can't tell who has a soul and who doesn't, then why don't we pretend that we don't have a soul?"
Dunxuan was stunned.
"Is it possible that there is no such spell?" There is no such spell in Xu Zhong's inheritance.
"Yes!" Dunxuan thought for a while: "You humans are really crafty. Can you think of such a method?"
"But your ideas are based on their limited wisdom, but how can a bunch of fools sneak in?" He looked at everyone present.
"Yes, my thinking was one-sided." Xu Zhong was stunned, his thinking was too simple.
Xu Zhong continued to watch.
At this time, someone screamed.
Everyone looked where he was.
It was a four-man team.
But everyone in the four-man team died.
"Their souls are gone!" Dunxuan said blankly.
Others looked to him.
After seeing his forty-nine eyes again, no one questioned it.
People of the Hundred-Eyed God Clan are born with celestial eyes, which can see the origin of all things in the world.
"They gathered their souls, maybe they wanted to use these souls to refine their own souls, right?"
Everyone looked at Xu Zhong.
They really didn't understand where Xu Zhong's strange thoughts came from.
After all, they have never seen anyone refine their soul into a soul like Xu Zhong.
As soon as Xu Zhong finished speaking, Dunxuan sensed that someone was in a wrong mood, a kind of panic.
He found the man immediately.
The forty-ninth eye shined at the man and revealed his soul.
But it's not that person's soul, but the soul of someone in the four-man team.
Seeing this, everyone took action and killed him.
"There really is a nightmare that has sneaked in."
The speculation turned into reality, deepening the suspicion.
