Chapter 4185 Blood Pact Burns the Heavens
As expected of Li Banxian, he was able to detect the dangers of the formation even before entering it, simply by using the methods of the Innate Diagram.
Upon hearing this, the slovenly Taoist priest immediately went over to flatter him: "Brother Li, you truly deserve to be called the King of Formations of China! You have everything under control. How do we break this formation?"
Li Banxian looked smug, then turned to me again: "Xiao Jie, what do you think we should do?"
"If we don't want to alert the Spiritual Cultivation Cult, the best way is to set up a formation within a formation, so that we can pass through the formation without anyone noticing," I suggested immediately.
It was clear that Master Li wanted to test me, and at the same time, he wanted me to learn some skills.
Li Banxian nodded in response to my words: "That's right, this is the best way. I will set up a formation within a formation to open a passage. You all follow me closely."
As he spoke, Li Banxian waved his hand, and the Innate Diagram reappeared above his head. The Innate Diagram was composed of countless runes, which kept changing and shimmering with golden light. It flew straight toward the magic array where the black mist was rolling in front of him.
Amazingly, after the runes of the innate diagram entered the magic array, as Li Banxian continuously formed hand seals, it began to construct an array within an array on its own. The runes intertwined with each other, forming a passage that was quite spacious enough for two people to walk side by side.
With a wave of his hand, Li Banxian walked into the magic array first.
We felt quite at ease, and this time I didn't have to rack my brains to set up the magic array. Li Banxian's methods of setting up the magic array were too easy, which made me very envious.
The main reason is that Li Banxian's method of creating the Innate Diagram comes from the ancestor Chen Tuan, which is something that ordinary people cannot learn. I was really envious of it, and even had the idea of robbing Old Li of it.
Before long, we followed Li Banxian into this dangerous magic formation.
I wonder who set up this magic array. It seems that there are experts in magic arrays within the Lingxiu Sect.
Not long after entering the magic circle, we saw some strange things. Inside the magic circle, there were some walking corpses moving around. They were all dressed in tattered clothes and had blank eyes. We also saw many corpses lying next to big trees, some of which had already rotted and were just piles of white bones.
Those who enter this magic circle will be affected by its aura, their souls will be stripped away, and they will become walking corpses. Their corpses and souls will become nourishment for the magic circle, making it even more powerful.
The person who figured out such a bizarre magic array is truly a genius.
Even the walking corpses dared not approach the magic array set up by Li Banxian. If I had set it up, I might have fought a fierce battle with these walking corpses.
These zombies may move very slowly now, but if they sense the presence of living people, they will move incredibly fast and become quite ferocious.
Following Li Banxian, we passed through the magic array in less than five minutes without any problems. It was incredibly easy.
"It has to be Old Li, the professional scholar," Blackie exclaimed sincerely.
"Look, look, Wu Laoliu, open your eyes wide and see. If you had Brother Li's skills, we would have suffered so much less." The slovenly Taoist priest then began to ridicule me.
"Get the hell out of here! If you had Brother Xiaoyu's skills, you could have summoned a whole bunch of Maoshan sect masters to possess you and wiped Bai Yuling out right then and there. We wouldn't be suffering in this godforsaken place." I rolled my eyes at the slovenly Taoist priest.
"You two calm down, stop arguing all the time, we're doing serious business," Brother Gu reminded him from the side.
Kassan then continued leading the way, and we waited there for a while to rest.
Kassan vanished into the void, moving incredibly fast without getting tired at all, unlike us who still have to walk on two legs.
About ten minutes later, Kassan returned and told us, "There are still seven or eight sentries ahead, which I have taken care of. However, there is another magic array about seven or eight hundred meters away from here, which should be much more dangerous than the one we just came through."
Since Kassan had taken care of the sentries ahead, we continued forward and soon arrived at another magic circle.
This spiritual sect is too vigilant; they've set up countless magic arrays throughout the jungle.
Li Banxian looked at the magic array in front of him, and his expression immediately became serious, all traces of his previous composure gone.
I glanced at the magic circle in front of me and immediately sensed that it was something extraordinary.
A faint aura of blood emanated from the magic array. Although it was unknown what kind of magic array it was, it gave people a very dangerous feeling.
"Old Li, why does this magic array give me a feeling of unease?" Hei Xiaose said with some concern as he stood in front of the magic array.
“That’s right, this magic array should be the most dangerous one in this old forest. Even though I’ve been traveling for many years, this is the first time I’ve seen such a dangerous magic array.” Li Banxian sighed.
"What kind of magic array is this?" Zhong Jinliang asked hurriedly.
"The Blood Pact Burning Heaven Array is no simple formation. The person setting it up must use half of their own soul as a blood pact. When the array is activated, the life force of all living beings within a hundred miles must be sacrificed. The array will then ignite a Heaven-Burning Blood Flame. This flame does not burn the physical body, but only the soul and cultivation. No matter what your cultivation level is, as long as you are entangled by the blood flame, your soul will be destroyed. Moreover, once this blood pact is formed, even if the person setting up the array tries to break it, they will be devoured by the blood flame and die. Anyone who dares to set up this array must have extremely strong confidence. As long as this array is broken, the other party will also die." Li Banxian explained to us.
No wonder the Lion Hunting Team couldn't handle the Spirit Cultivation Cult members; they really have experts. Putting aside everything else, this one magic array alone can form a natural barrier, enough to block most experts.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Banxian said again, "Once we enter this formation, we will no longer be able to hide. In addition to the formation's own destructive power, there may also be many experts from the Spirit Cultivation Sect inside the formation who will deal with us. Everyone, be prepared."
As he spoke, Li Banxian once again summoned the Innate Diagram, and with a wave of his hand, the Innate Diagram floated towards the magic array.
"Old Li, are you in danger if you break this magic array?" Hei Xiaose looked at him with some concern.
“Definitely. Next, I will have to fight the person who set up this magic array. If the array is broken, he will surely die. If the array cannot be broken, we will all die.” Li Banxian said solemnly.
"Old Li, are you confident you can give him a good thrashing?" Zhong Jinliang said with a smile.
"Don't forget, I am the King of Formations in China. There's no one who can compete with me in formations yet." With that, Li Banxian strode into the formation.
