Nangong Qian, Ximen Yangping and other warriors from the four empires looked at each other and saw uncontrollable excitement in each other's eyes.
The path of martial arts is to go against the will of heaven; what you seek is to extend your lifespan, and what you seek is immortality.
However, martial arts is difficult, and every time you advance to a higher level, it is like crossing a chasm; especially after entering the martial arts, it is even more difficult to climb a mountain.
At this moment, even one percent of the opportunities accumulated in Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge would be enough to shorten their practice by several decades, or even a decade.
Thinking about this kind of thing naturally makes you excited!
"well..."
However, Sikong Yan suddenly changed the topic, sighed, and suddenly showed a look of hesitation on his face, saying: "Unfortunately, the core stone that controls Ten Thousand Beast Ridge is placed in this stone tower; and outside the stone tower, We have set up a powerful formation, but it is not easy to break through it."
"And if you can't break through the formation, it will be difficult to enter the stone tower and get the core stone; without the core stone, you won't be able to control the Ten Thousand Beast Ridge and gather the treasures scattered here..."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's heads instantly, causing everyone to freeze and look at each other.
If you cannot enter the Demon Suppression Tower, you cannot get the core stone.
If you can't get the core stone, wouldn't everything you said before be in vain?
"Of course, since I used the cloud-piercing arrow to summon everyone here, I have naturally found a way to break the formation."
Sikong Yan paused, spoke again, and said slowly: "It's just that this method is not enough for me alone; therefore, I still need your help!"
"The alien king is serious. Since we want to divide Ten Thousand Beast Ridge equally, we should be able to help."
Hearing this, Nangong Qian was the first to speak, cupping his hands and saying: "I can't call it helping, but if King Yi needs it, just send him!"
"Yes, King Yi can tell us whatever we need to do, and we will do our best!"
"Yes, we are willing to contribute to the foreign king's efforts to seize the core stone!"
"Please give me your instructions, King Yi!"
As soon as these words came out, Ximen Yangping and other warriors from the four empires also spoke up to express their support.
Some people even directly stated that they would not hesitate to break them into pieces!
"With these words from you, I will feel relieved!"
Seeing this scene, Sikong Yan, who had succeeded in his plan, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and immediately said seriously: "The formation here is the layout of the great demon in ancient times, and it is extremely strong. Although I found the formation eye, I can't touch it. If you touch it, you will naturally be unable to break the formation; and if you want to break the formation, you must use a force far beyond what the formation can bear, blast open the formation barrier and bombard the formation's eyes before you can break it."
"However, due to my poor cultivation, the six imperial warriors brought this time have also suffered huge losses. Now it is really difficult to collect enough spiritual energy, condense it into the power of the formation, and blast away the formation barrier! "
"What's so difficult about this?"
Before Sikong Yan finished speaking, a warrior from the Beiming Empire immediately shouted in the crowd, saying: "Isn't it just spiritual energy? There are so many of us, although our cultivation is not as good as that of the warriors from your kingdom, but together we can't. Look down upon.”
"How much spiritual energy does the strange king need? Just ask; even if we exhaust the star gate's spiritual energy, we won't blink!"
As soon as these words came out, the warriors from the four empires spoke one after another and all responded.
"Yes!"
"With so many Heavenly Chong Realm warriors, can't we gather enough spiritual energy?"
"I thought that the foreign king needed me for something big, but it turns out that it's just to provide spiritual energy. We will help you get whatever the foreign king needs!"
Nangong Qian suddenly frowned, turned his head subconsciously, and looked at the crowd behind him.
However, as soon as he turned around, his frown immediately spread, and a smile appeared on his face again, and he cupped his hands and said: "If it is just a lack of spiritual energy, it is nothing; we and other four great empire warriors have nearly a hundred warriors at the moment. Count, you should be able to get enough for King Yi!"
"So good!"
Sikong Yan nodded slightly, but without hesitation, he turned around and looked at Daodao's figure sitting cross-legged in front of the stone tower, and suddenly shouted: "Set up the formation!"
Swish, swish, swish...
As soon as these words came out, the figures who were sitting cross-legged on the ground immediately opened their eyes, and with a flash of their bodies, they jumped up instantly. In an instant, they were lined up on the left and right, with their feet stepping on each other, echoing each other; faintly, as if It forms a human-shaped plum blossom.
Seeing this scene, Ye Wushuang, who was sitting on a tree branch in the distance, couldn't help but frown, his eyes revealed, and he whispered in surprise.
"Plum Blossom Blood Tempering Formation? Is it very strong? What level of formation is it?"
Chu Yuntian, who was squatting behind Ye Wushuang, heard this and immediately asked curiously.
"Nothing!"
Ye Wushuang explained in a low voice: "Plum Blossom Blood Tempering Array, also known as Plum Blossom Bagua Essence and Blood Extraction Array!"
"It is one of the ancient Qimen formations. It is said to be a spirit-gathering formation based on the deduction of the Plum Blossom Yishu and the operation of the Four Eight Diagrams. However, the spiritual energy gathered in this formation does not come from heaven and earth. Time, but living beings.”
"In other words, this formation can forcibly swallow all living creatures in the formation, temper the purest and most powerful spiritual energy in the blood essence, and condense vast spiritual energy in a short period of time."
Speaking of this, Ye Wushuang paused, his face became slightly gloomy, and continued: "The creatures swallowed by this formation often require living creatures; dead bodies, or individual blood essence cannot be extracted. It can be said that It’s extremely cruel.”
"It is precisely because of this that the Plum Blossom Blood Tempering Formation was designated as a strange witchcraft in ancient times and has been banned from use for a long time. Unexpectedly, this Sikong Yan actually practiced this formation!"
Forcibly swallowing the creatures in the formation?
Extracting essence and blood from living creatures?
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoer and Chu Yuntian immediately looked at each other, and both saw horror in each other's eyes.
Extracting essence and blood directly from the living beings in the formation; what is the difference between this and directly draining the blood from the living beings on the spot?
Unexpectedly, the majestic King of Shangguo with a different surname, a great figure who is inferior to one person and more than ten thousand people, would actually practice such evil formations. It is simply disgusting!
"Everyone..."
At this moment, seeing the formation layout completed, Sikong Yan turned around, with a harmless and friendly look on his face, and faced Nangong Qian and other warriors from the four empires, raised his hands and said with a smile: "If you want to smash the formation eye, All the power must be gathered at one point; and this formation has a soul-gathering effect, which can bring everyone's power into one place and integrate it into one."
"Therefore, I have to trouble you all to move forward, enter this formation, and release the spiritual energy of the Dantian; as for the rest, I will leave it to you!"
"Do you still want to enter the formation?"
"Isn't this... afraid it's inappropriate?"
Upon hearing these words, the four imperial warriors who had originally pledged their efforts suddenly showed hesitation and their eyes flickered.
If they provide spiritual energy directly, it doesn't matter to them; at worst, they will just consume some spiritual energy.
But once you step into the formation arranged by Sikong Yan, it is almost equivalent to completely handing over your wealth and life to Sikong Yan.
After all, although Sikong Yan said that this formation was just a gathering of spirits, they did not understand the formation. Who knew if it would be a trap, and when they entered it, they would be directly in their pocket?
"What, you guys regret it?"
Seeing the expressions of Nangong Qian and others, Sikong Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses and explained: "Oh, does it mean you don't trust me?"
"King Yi, it's not that we don't trust you, it's just..."
Ximen Yangping was the first to hand over his hand at this moment and said: "It's just that we are all laymen when it comes to formations and can't even distinguish the most basic prison formations from killing formations. At this moment, you let so many of us enter the formations rashly. one..."
"What do you mean?"
Before Ximen Yangping could finish what he said, Gongmen Jin beside him became furious and shouted: "Are you sure that the foreign king is deceiving you?"
"That's not what we meant..."
"Humph, I think that's what you mean!"
Just as Nangong Qian was about to speak, he was directly interrupted by Gongmen Jin, who said angrily: "Do you think that with our strength, we need to set up a trap to kill you?"
"this..."
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Qian, Ximen Yangping and other warriors from the four empires were all dumbfounded and looked at each other.
Although they thought so in their hearts, they couldn't say it out loud at the moment.
First of all, based on the comparison of strength between the two sides present, the four empires are already at a disadvantage; once their faces are broken, they will definitely not get any good results.
Secondly, what Gongmen Jin said is not unreasonable; if nothing else, with the strength of Sikong Yan and Gongmen Jin, it is more than enough to defeat them; plus there are hundreds of Beginning Realm warriors around them, it is really hard to think about it. Killing them is absolutely easy, but there is no need to take off your pants and fart, which is unnecessary!
"Hey, brother Gongmen, it's human nature for them to have scruples. Don't use the big to bully the small!"
Sikong Yan interrupted the embarrassing scene in time, waved his hand, smiled at Nangong Qian and others: "I naturally understand your concerns; after all, most of the people present at this moment have met me for the first time. Without trust as a foundation, it is inevitable."
"Let's do this. If you are worried that there is something wrong with the formation, I can let the warriors from the six great kingdoms, and even my warriors from the Earthly Kingdom, enter in advance to prove their innocence."
Having said this, Sikong Yan turned around, waved his hand to the warriors from the Kingdom of Heaven behind him, and ordered: "You guys, be the first to enter the battle!"
"yes!"
Hearing this, the dozen or so Shangguo warriors behind them nodded without hesitation and immediately stepped up the stone steps and directly entered the formation.
As those people entered, the invisible plum blossom-shaped formation had no other changes except that it solidified a bit and the ripples became thicker. The dozen or so warriors from the Kingdom of Heaven in the formation were all alive and well. , not even remotely threatened.
Seeing this scene, the fear in the eyes of Nangong Qian, Ximen Yangping and others suddenly disappeared; however, they still did not completely let down their guard.
After all, although those people are fine, it can only mean that this formation has no lethality, but it cannot mean that this formation will not imprison them.
"Gongmen Jin..."
Sikong Yan seemed to have directly seen through everyone's thoughts at this moment. He immediately turned to look at Gongmen Jin and ordered: "You come in too."
Hearing this, Gongmen Jin couldn't help but frown. He looked at the warriors from the four empires, then looked at Sikong Yan, and finally nodded slightly, turned around and stepped into the formation.
Buzz...
As Gongmen Jin stepped in, the originally thin and invisible formation suddenly appeared with a touch of red, just like a light red plum blossom. Although it looked a little weird, it was more pleasing to the eye and beautiful.
Huan.
"This formation, called the Plum Blossom Spirit Gathering Formation, can automatically sense the spiritual energy reserves contained in the formation; the more spiritual energy, the redder the color, and the less spiritual energy, the lighter the color."
Sikong Yan opened his mouth at this moment, explained lightly, then waved to Gongmen Jin and said: "Okay, Gongmen Jin, you can come out now!"
Gongmen Jin still didn't speak, and stepped out of the formation with an expressionless expression, landing next to Sikong Yan in an instant.
At the same time, the light red color on the plum blossom formation quickly faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye; in an instant, it returned to its light and invisible state.
Seeing this scene, Nangong Qian, Ximen Yangping and other warriors from the four empires were completely relieved.
"Now, can you rest assured?"
Gongmen Jin spoke coldly at this moment, looking at everyone's eyes, filled with contempt and disdain; as if he looked down upon their previous worries.
The warriors from the four empires suddenly smiled awkwardly.
Nangong Qian also smiled coquettishly, cupped his hands and said: "We are also cautious, and we still hope that the king will be different. Lord Gongmen, please don't mind!"
"Understandable."
Sikong Yan nodded slightly and said: "If you have no other questions, please enter the formation as soon as possible and provide spiritual energy."
"After all, breaking through the formation of the stone tower and getting the core stone is the most important thing now!"
"yes!"
"good!"
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Qian, Ximen Yangping and others no longer had any worries. They immediately called the warriors from the four empires and walked towards the stone tower.
"Sir, it seems that this Sikong Yan is planning to directly sacrifice all the warriors from the four empires as formation sacrifices to extract blood essence."
Seeing this scene, Lin Ruo'er, who was hiding on the branch of a tree, frowned slightly, turned back to look at Ye Wushuang, and whispered: "It's okay with the others, but Nangong Qian is Qianrou's father, shall we?"
Take action to stop it?"
"Wait a little longer."
Ye Wushuang shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "When Nangong Qian's life is really in danger, it will not be too late to take action."
"What's more, have you forgotten what happened before? Nangong Qian, Ximen Yangping, and even all the people from the four empires are no longer who they were."
"Now, maybe we can take this opportunity to see who the guy hiding in the darkness is!"
Hearing this, Lin Ruoer immediately understood and nodded slightly.
And in this short period of time, Nangong Qian and other warriors from the four empires had already stepped into the formation one by one.
The entire Plum Blossom Blood Tempering Formation also turned completely bright red at this moment; it was like a tent made of blood, looking weird and terrifying.
And the ripples that were constantly emerging are now like streams of red blood flowing slowly!
After everyone calmed down in the formation, Sikong Yan and Gongmen Jin looked at each other, with an undetectable flash of cunning in their eyes.
Then, Sikong Yan walked up to the stone steps, looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please activate the spiritual energy in the star gate to overflow the body surface and pour into the formation."
"Remember, the more spiritual energy you have now, the more opportunities you will have after breaking through the stone tower restrictions and getting the core stone!"
