He wanted all living beings in this area to die.
Once the formation was completed, even the flowers, plants, and trees would disappear. The spiritual energy beneath this land would be completely drained. Even if others were to live in this area in the future, their fortune would be siphoned away. This formation was extremely vicious.
The Killing Formation was so powerful that even the gods couldn't withstand it, let alone the spiritual mediums who had chosen this world with weak spiritual power.
If the formation was completed by the time a large number of reporters and other people rushed here from outside, it would be a large - scale slaughter site.
Was the man in black trying to sacrifice so many living beings as an offering?
The rebirth method that the Ji family had been guarding had always been coveted by many.
However, the Ji family, relying on their family's strength, had suppressed the eager thoughts of others.
Ning Yitao had heard Ji Wangqiu talk about it.
This formation could only revive people within the Ji family. Only those with Ji family blood in their bodies could use this forbidden technique.
The rebirth method was not passed down orally but would appear in the memories that the new family head needed to inherit.
The forbidden technique must also be activated by the family head. The abilities of the Ji family were passed down from generation to generation and would never be extinguished.
It was said that performing the forbidden technique consumed a great deal of the family head's cultivation and would directly damage the family head's soul. Whether they could be reincarnated after death or die a natural death was uncertain.
But one thing was for sure: once the forbidden technique was used, the family head's fate would surely change, and they would all end up dying miserably.
Some Ji family heads had died on the spot after using the forbidden technique.
Then, a new family head would emerge.
There were many unstable factors in the forbidden technique, which was why the previous Ji family heads were reluctant to touch it.
But now, after thinking about this again, Ning Yitao noticed something was wrong.
How had she been revived?
According to Ji Wangqiu's father, she had been revived by Ji Wangqiu.
But Ning Yitao didn't have Ji family blood in her body.
She was even less likely to be a disciple of the Ji family.
Ning Yitao didn't know what Ji Wangqiu had done to revive someone who wasn't from the Ji family.
And as the family head, how had Ji Wangqiu managed to perform the forbidden technique so skillfully?
It was extremely difficult to revive just one person, but Ji Wangqiu had revived all the elders of the Ji family.
This was only the number of people Ning Yitao knew about. She didn't know what else Ji Wangqiu had done in places she didn't know.
This was the biggest mystery.
Or had Ji Wangqiu already found a way to revive people with different surnames?
Ning Yitao felt that this was probably the reason.
But when she looked back to find Ji Wangqiu's figure, he had long since disappeared.
Ning Yitao understood that now everyone was already within the formation. No one could escape.
What Ning Yitao didn't know was that these villagers were just the first step here.
Activate.
Ning Yitao still couldn't believe that Ji Wangqiu would do such a thing for her.
But finally, she thought of the most important point.
The revived person also had to bear the punishment of the Heavenly Dao.
But the original owner of this body had always been haunted by bad luck. If she really had to bear such a great punishment and blood debt in this body, the original owner would surely be unable to bear it and would surely die on the spot.
Thinking of this, the worry in Ning Yitao's heart finally subsided.
Since that was the case, what Ji Wangqiu's father had said was not believable. Otherwise, she would owe Ji Wangqiu a huge favor.
This formation had already been activated. Once activated, it couldn't be reversed.
Although Ning Yitao didn't care about the lives and deaths of these villagers.
But the feeling of being played with like a puppet was not pleasant.
Ning Yitao didn't know why that person had led her into this formation and involved so many innocent lives.
Zhaocai knew what Ning Yitao was thinking.
Now, there was finally no more playfulness on his face. He seriously voiced his speculation:
"Taotao, do you still remember what Xavier said? When she thought you had killed Yin Huan, she rushed in in a fit of emotional collapse. At that time, she didn't guard against us. She said she just wanted to find a good body for Yin Huan among these spiritual mediums."
"Maybe now they're trying to revive someone and are looking for a substitute among these spiritual mediums. Just like you, they're looking for a new body to house your soul and let you survive in this world in another way."
Ning Yitao immediately understood. So the person behind the scenes had gathered all the spiritual mediums together to find new bodies.
Or maybe they wanted to perform some shady spells.
Thinking like this, it didn't seem unreasonable for the man in black behind the scenes to be in partnership with Ji Wangqiu.
One needed the rebirth method passed down through generations by the Ji family, and the other needed the man in black to solve the side - effects brought about by the revival. Ning Yitao sneered and thought:
"What a perfect match."
The formation floating in the sky dissipated within a short while.
Ning Yitao and her group continued on their way. Now that they had sorted out their thoughts, they had to find the eye of the formation.
Only by destroying the eye of the formation could they save everyone.
Otherwise, the only outcome waiting for everyone was death.
Ning Yitao was sure that the man in black must be guarding the eye of the formation at this moment.
Since he had put so much effort into it, he would surely not let anyone else ruin it.
Only by guarding the eye of the formation himself could he feel at ease.
Ning Yitao knew it would be difficult to find the eye of the formation.
But since it wasn't in the village, it could only be in this forest.
The man in black was very confident.
Just like now, when Ning Yitao was standing at a fork in the road not knowing which way to choose,
The vague voice of the man in black came from the sky. His deep and mechanical voice said:
"No matter which way you go, all that awaits you is death. If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, maybe I'll spare you."
The man in black's voice was like a great bell, striking everyone's hearts. It hit Gulliton, whose psychological defense was already weak, even harder and made him even more flustered.
The fear on his face was undisguised.
This gave the man in black an opportunity.
The man in black had set traps in the forest. He didn't believe that Ning Yitao and the others could pass through the illusions and reach him.
But Ning Yitao ignored the man in black's provocation. She fiddled with the ancient bronze coins in her hand to determine the direction.
Ning Yitao just wanted to show the man in black with her actions that one shouldn't be too arrogant.
The man in black saw what Ning Yitao was thinking. His voice became shrill as he said:
"You can't get through. No one can stop me."
Suddenly, his voice stuttered for a moment, and then the man in black's voice disappeared out of thin air.
No one knew what had happened.
