"Master!"
"Master!"
Shen Qing and Li Xian exclaimed in surprise at the same time. But they remembered what Yu Xuzi had told them not to leave their original positions, so they didn't dare to take a single step forward.
Yu Xuzi took a while to regain his composure before standing up straight. He gave the two of them a weak smile.
He took out a black and a red pill from his storage bag and swallowed them simultaneously. Then he lifted his hand with difficulty and pressed a few acupoints on his body. Only then did his originally pale complexion return to normal.
Li Xian asked worriedly, "Master, can you still hold on?"
Yu Xuzi forced a smile at the corner of his mouth. "Don't underestimate your master."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but after Yu Xuzi finished drawing the formation, Shen Qing could clearly see the black resentful qi surrounding the stone statue with her naked eyes.
Those resentful qi tightly surrounded the stone statue. Shen Qing could hardly see the true appearance of the stone statue.
Moreover, the surrounding environment was somewhat suffocating. The black qi made the face of the Dragon God look somewhat ferocious. When Shen Qing looked at it, she only felt extremely oppressed.
Even... she felt a little afraid.
"Shen Qing! Don't look up. Lower your head!"
Yu Xuzi saw Shen Qing standing there blankly, looking up at the stone statue without blinking her eyes. He knew that she was fascinated by the resentful qi on the stone statue.
Hearing Yu Xuzi's voice, Shen Qing finally woke up from her dream. The moment she regained her senses, she unconsciously took half a step back, feeling a little scared.
She only took one look...
These resentful qi were so powerful. If she looked for a longer time, wouldn't her soul be sucked away?
"Master..." Shen Qing lowered her head and then looked at Yu Xuzi.
Only then did Yu Xuzi and Li Xian see that Shen Qing's face was full of tears.
The surprised expressions on their faces fell into Shen Qing's eyes. Shen Qing unconsciously raised her hand and touched her face. Only then did she realize that she was crying.
Seeing this, Yu Xuzi explained, "The Dragon God is entangled by resentful qi. As a member of the Dragon Clan, it's normal for you to be slightly affected. Just don't look directly into the Dragon God's eyes."
Shen Qing nodded and didn't dare to be careless anymore.
After Yu Xuzi adjusted his state, he stretched out his hand. "Li Xian, give me my flags."
Li Xian nodded and took out four small red flags from his storage bag.
Shen Qing had seen these small flags once on Kunlun Mountain. Li Xian used them to break the formation on the divine platform.
It turned out that these small flags belonged to Yu Xuzi.
Yu Xuzi controlled the flags from afar. The four flags floated neatly in the air, with one flag corresponding to one stone statue.
Yu Xuzi glanced at Shen Qing and then at Li Xian. "We're about to start."
"Both of you form seals with your hands. Never let go. Slowly channel your spiritual energy into the formation I've drawn. No matter what you see, don't let go of your hands. Do you understand?"
Yu Xuzi's tone became serious as he repeatedly emphasized that they shouldn't let go of their hands.
Shen Qing and Li Xian responded simultaneously.
And Shen Qing's palms were sweating because of nervousness.
Moreover, Shen Qing was more worried that Han Ze might have left some tricks here. Would there be any traps after the formation was unlocked...
Given Han Ze's insidious and cunning character, Shen Qing thought it was very likely.
But they had to unlock this formation. Even though they knew there might be traps later, they could only brace themselves and continue.
After everything was ready, Yu Xuzi quickly formed seals with his hands.
His slender fingers made various complex seals. They moved so fast that Shen Qing could only see blurry shadows.
"Break!!"
Yu Xuzi shouted. The four flags and the formation drawn with blood on the ground simultaneously emitted golden light. A strong gust of wind howled out from the formation, fluttering the robes of the three of them.
There was also a formation drawn by Yu Xuzi under Shen Qing's feet. Standing here, Shen Qing was almost blown down by the wind, and her hands loosened for a moment.
After she stood firm, Shen Qing tightened her hands again, afraid that her mistake would lead to all their previous efforts being wasted.
The black resentful qi turned into a physical form because of the formation. They seemed to be screaming and venting, entangling and tearing at the stone statue of the Dragon God.
The light on the flags became brighter and brighter. Those resentful qi found that they couldn't attach themselves to the stone statue, so they turned into wisps of black smoke and rushed around the stone statue, as if venting their dissatisfaction.
There was a sudden tremor of the earth. Shen Qing had to use part of her power to keep herself firmly on the ground.
The temperature suddenly dropped, and white air came out of Shen Qing's mouth.
Seeing how powerful these resentful qi were, Yu Xuzi didn't dare to underestimate them. He separated his hands and used his spiritual energy to create a deep wound on each palm.
But Yu Xuzi didn't seem to feel the pain. He continued to put his hands together to form a seal.
"The flags hang high, saving the lonely souls. All ghosts and demons in the four realms shall receive grace. The gods shall guard..."
Yu Xuzi recited the incantation loudly. The flags seemed to be summoned and fluttered in the air without wind, making a loud noise.
As Yu Xuzi's incantation changed, those resentful qi transformed into several resentful souls. Even the corpses of the mermaids on the ground seemed to be distorted and deformed.
Shen Qing had never seen such powerful resentful souls. Receiving a trace of the Dragon God's spiritual energy here, they had become resentful souls with cultivation. If another ten thousand years passed, they might even become gods in the form of resentful spirits.
Yu Xuzi seemed to be affected by these resentful spirits. Blood and tears flowed from his eyes. He took a step back, and blood kept flowing from his mouth.
If this continued, Yu Xuzi might not be able to hold on!
Seeing this, Li Xian also knew that Yu Xuzi couldn't hold on anymore. These resentful spirits were not ordinary ones, and there were a large number of them, making them difficult to purify.
Yu Xuzi had just regained consciousness and was in a weak state. It was a bit of a stretch for him to carry out such a high - intensity purification as soon as he woke up.
But now he couldn't leave the formation he was in to help. He could only frantically think of countermeasures on the spot.
A flash of inspiration came to Shen Qing. She suddenly remembered that she still had the Soul - Suppressing Banner in her hand.
Li Xian obviously also thought of this. He looked at Shen Qing. Without hesitation, she summoned the Soul - Suppressing Banner.
The Soul - Suppressing Banner appeared out of thin air and stood in mid - air in front of the small flags. The small flags that were about to be torn apart immediately stopped vibrating.
And those resentful souls also paused for a moment and avoided the Soul - Suppressing Banner when they rushed around.
Seeing this, Yu Xuzi raised his head in surprise. With just one glance, he knew what the Soul - Suppressing Banner was. He looked at Shen Qing appreciatively, his eyes full of admiration and kindness.
However, Yu Xuzi tried to make the Soul - Suppressing Banner cooperate with the formation, but the Soul - Suppressing Banner just floated in the air motionless without any reaction.
Shen Qing immediately remembered that the Soul - Suppressing Banner had an extremely arrogant personality.
The corner of her mouth twitched. She shouted loudly, "Soul - Suppressing Banner! Obey the order!"
Shen Qing immediately felt the Soul - Suppressing Banner move reluctantly. Then it emitted golden light. Those resentful qi seemed to be guided and were all absorbed into the Soul - Suppressing Banner.
It worked!
A look of joy appeared on Shen Qing's face. She secretly rejoiced that she had snatched the Soul - Suppressing Banner from Ji Chongming.
After some of the resentful souls were absorbed, the feeling of the earth shaking was not so intense, and the temperature gradually rose.
Yu Xuzi spread out his hands and recited the last incantation.
"All of you shall die!!"
