"What the hell is going on here?"

At the same time, the clan leaders who were caught off guard were also somewhat confused.

Countless red light pillars rose up from all around, blocking the entire space. From time to time, the red light that flowed out like magma also exuded an ominous atmosphere.

Just a few glances gave them an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

It's easy to tell that they were tricked by the Demon Lord.

Sect Master Lin, who had warned them at the beginning, now looked serious. After a simple assessment, his eyebrows knitted together, "It should be an extremely sinister forbidden technique."

Seeing that everyone else looked confused, Sect Leader Lin pointed around and said, "Do you see those light pillars? They are made from the lives of the monks who died in vain. I guess they probably got this formation from some long-lost ancient book."

Many insidious and immoral forbidden techniques have long disappeared from the world of cultivation.

It is no wonder that he had always felt something was odd, but couldn't tell what was wrong.

Even he had never seen something like this made by the demons, let alone others who were not proficient in this.

"It's careless."

As everyone knows, neither the demons nor the monsters are proficient in formations at all. No one expected that they would suddenly come up with something big this time.

Fang Jinxing tried to get closer and swung out a few sword gusts, but the sharp sword energy hit the flowing light beams and was instantly swallowed up.

The next second, his eyes flashed and he quickly turned his head to avoid it.

"hiss……"

Several clan leaders gasped one after another.

Suddenly, countless black mist-like gases appeared in the sky around them as if stimulated, floating around quickly and without any order. Although they had no eyes, they felt as if they were being stared at by a pair of invisible eyes.

Even the temperature in the air around was chilly, giving a creepy feeling.

The black fog that Fang Jinxing had dodged earlier was a slightly larger group of people.

"What the hell is this?" He was a little stunned.

“Dead souls.” Sect Master Lin came back to his senses, turned his head, and frowned. “The evil spirits of those dead monks around are too strong. They were absorbed by the formation and are now controlled by the Demon Lord.”

It turned out to be the case.

The group of demons just now were using their lives as the key to open the formation.

Many people had died before, and the evil spirit was still lingering here. The demonic energy and the evil spirit had the same origin, and it just made up for the last bit of energy that the forbidden technique was missing.

It is an evil formation, but also a sacrifice.

After his explanation, the other sect leaders finally understood why the Demon Lord was so cruel and slaughtered several cities in succession.

He had this idea from the very beginning. To activate this evil formation from the forbidden book, it would undoubtedly require a large amount of flesh and blood and lives.

Then for the Demon Lord, massacring the city is the simplest and most brutal way.

"He's completely crazy." Sect Leader Qin's face was as dark as water, and his expression was extremely ugly.

The Demon Lord admired their changing expressions and felt particularly relaxed. He slowly opened his arms, his mouth widening, "How about it, everyone? Do you like this 'gift' from me?"

"I like your uncle!"

Fang Jinxing rarely curses unless he really can't help it.

He suddenly remembered what Gu Xia said before, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. He guessed that the Demon Lord was probably just staying in a dark place like the Demon Realm for too long, which made him completely abnormal.

No wonder he does nothing all day long but thinks about attacking the world of cultivation.

The Demon Lord's face suddenly turned dark when he was scolded by him.

This damn old man.

However, when he thought of their current situation, the Demon Lord ignored the unpleasantness.

He sneered, "Now all you can do is talk."

"So what?" Sect Leader Lin looked at him with pity, "You are so pitiful. You can't even beat us with words."

Demon Lord: “…” Damn it.

He only has one mouth. There's no way he can be more powerful than five of you.

Oh, no, the other three sects are all quite quiet, it’s these two old guys who talk the most irritatingly.

The Demon Lord cast a sinister look over the two of them.

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense.

"Don't worry about that psychopath for now." Fang Jinxing glanced around, "Let's see if this formation can be broken. I always feel a chill on my back staying in here."

Sect Leader Lin: “It’s hard to say.”

Yue Ming frowned, "Isn't formation your domain?"

“Please, it’s true that I understand formations.” Sect Master Lin resisted the urge to roll his eyes, “But I’m not a turtle in the wishing well.”

What do you think?

Since the Demon Lord dared to spend so much time and energy to trap them, it naturally couldn't be that it was just a tattered forbidden book dug out from some corner.

Although it is generally recognized in the world of cultivation that the demons do not understand formations, nothing can be too absolute. Isn’t the current situation the best proof of this?

Besides, what good person would have nothing better to do than study things in banned books all day?

Sect Master Lin had sensed something was wrong from the beginning, but he did not think about it in that direction. The main reason was that he did not expect the Demon Lord to be so cruel and ruthless.

They were all masters above the Spirit Transformation Stage, but just because they were trapped by this formation, they all died.

It goes without saying that the formation created by so many lives would be extremely troublesome and tricky.

Besides, the demons have also existed in this world for such a long time. Although they are all illiterate, it does not mean that they don’t have a few banned books handed down from generation to generation.

For a moment, Sect Master Lin really couldn't find any clue.

He glanced at Fang Jinxing and said, "Also, the reason why you feel a chill on your back is probably because there is a ghost lying behind you."

Fang Jinxing: "?"

WTF?

He subconsciously turned his head and came face to face with a ball of black fog, which suddenly expanded.

"!!!"

Fang Jinxing swung his sword without thinking and sent it to heaven.

Damn it, he was so scared.

Unexpectedly, his sword stirred up a hornet's nest. More and more black fog emerged from the entire formation, and the number was so dense that there was no end in sight.

Sect Master Yun extended a hand and used his gentle spiritual power to restrain a smaller group of black mist. He injected his spiritual sense into it for a few seconds and couldn't help but sigh, "These dead souls have no chance of rebirth."

In other words, both the body and the soul are destined to disappear from this world.

Dan Xiu did not like killing, and even she could not help feeling a little sad after seeing this scene, followed by anger towards the Demon Lord.

Hundreds of lives were lost at his hands, which is truly a pity.

The other sword masters did the same, coldly drawing their swords and looking in the direction of the Demon Lord.
