Chapter 1147: The Blood Refining Grand Array
Wan Wu Yi's words made some of those present feel outrageous; they simply didn't believe it, thinking that this demon, Wan Wu Yi, had truly gone insane.
But there were also those who realized something was amiss, because from Wan Wu Yi's words and actions, he didn't seem insane; rather, he still had unrevealed methods.
How others thought or what they saw, Wan Wu Yi didn't concern himself with. Amidst his booming laughter, streaks of blood-red light pillars suddenly shot up from outside Gu Mo City, soaring into the sky.
There were a total of nine blood-red light pillars, perfectly and regularly distributed around the outskirts of Gu Mo City, completely surrounding it.
Inside the Ancient Demon Palace, everyone immediately ceased their attacks, their gazes drawn to these nine massive blood-red light pillars. With something like this suddenly happening, how could they possibly be in the mood to continue attacking?
Outside the Ancient Demon Palace, at this moment, there was still a portion of non-ordinary people watching the spectacle. Although they were non-ordinary people, each possessing abilities that ordinary people did not, they did not belong to any major forces. So when the people from the major forces, who had been waiting outside the Ancient Demon Palace, entered, they didn't follow them in, but remained outside to continue watching the show.
Because they knew very well that with their strength, it was best not to wade into troubled waters. Doing so would very likely cost them their lives, therefore, none of them chose to enter.
As for why they didn't leave but instead stayed outside the Ancient Demon Palace, apart from wanting to watch the excitement, they naturally also held a glimmer of hope, to see if there was any opportunity to seize a hidden treasure. If there truly was any treasure inside the Ancient Demon Palace, they would have no chance at all if they left. Staying here, they still had some opportunities, and when necessary, they would even unhesitatingly act to snatch it. Even if doing so would offend the major forces or cost them their lives, they would still do it.
Gu Mo City was very large, and the Ancient Demon Palace was located in its central area. From the Ancient Demon Palace to outside Gu Mo City, no matter which direction one chose, the distance was very far. Unless one possessed the ability to tear space, otherwise, it would be difficult to rush out of Gu Mo City in a short time relying solely on physical speed.
None of these people who wished to escape Gu Mo City possessed the ability to tear space, so if they wanted to leave Gu Mo City, they could only achieve it through physical speed. However, their bodies had only just shot forward, when the nine towering blood-red light pillars suddenly erupted with powerful energy fluctuations, linking together. Immediately after, a blood-red barrier instantly coalesced into form, enveloping the entire Gu Mo City.
This scene caused the expressions of those preparing to flee Gu Mo City to drastically change. Their decision to flee Gu Mo City just now was precisely because they had anticipated this very scene. The nine blood-red light pillars had immediately made them think of a restrictive barrier. Once the restrictive barrier was successfully deployed, those trapped inside would be extremely vulnerable. So they wanted to escape, but unfortunately, they did not succeed.
With the restrictive barrier successfully deployed, some people gave up on escaping. Because they knew that with their strength, it was already impossible to break through the restrictive barrier and escape Gu Mo City. When this restrictive barrier coalesced into form, its momentum was immense; a restrictive barrier of this magnitude was simply not something they could forcibly break through. Instead of doing the impossible, it would be more useful to find a safe place to hide.
Still, some people didn't give up. Their strong desire to survive still made them decide to rush towards the edge of the restrictive barrier. Regardless of whether they could ultimately break through the barrier and escape, they wanted to give it a try.
Inside the Ancient Demon Palace, when the nine blood-red light pillars appeared, many people from the major forces also guessed that this might be a powerful restrictive barrier. Some of them also thought of escaping this place, not wanting to be trapped within the restrictive barrier, because they didn't know what kind of restrictive barrier this was, or what its function was. But they knew that once trapped inside a restrictive barrier, it would only bring them harm, not benefit.
However, they were different from the rogue cultivators outside the palace. Rogue cultivators were unrestrained; they could stay if they wanted to stay, and leave if they wanted to leave. Whether they could actually get away was another matter entirely.
Conversely, for them, they had their own sects and forces, bound by rules. Unauthorized escape meant betrayal. Before the final moment, no one wanted to take that path, nor did they dare to.
It was precisely because of this that, when the nine blood-red light pillars appeared, none of them fled. They merely ceased their attacks. Even when the restrictive barrier coalesced into form and enveloped the entire Gu Mo City, they still did not choose to flee, but instead remained cautiously on guard, constantly prepared to deal with sudden developments.
One didn't need to think to know that the suddenly appearing nine blood-red light pillars, and the restrictive barrier that subsequently formed, were absolutely the work of Wan Wu Yi. Because this restrictive barrier was filled with a bloody and violent aura, and the powerful energy fluctuations it emitted were also unique to the Demon Cult. Coupled with Wan Wu Yi's current laughter and his previous words, if this restrictive barrier wasn't the work of Wan Wu Yi, no one present would believe it.
The appearance of the restrictive barrier caused the expressions of most people present to change. There weren't no people who could maintain their composure under such circumstances, but they were few. Yang Haoran was one of them, and Xia Xinger, who had just arrived, was also one of them.
Besides these two, the Big Sister of the Spirit Mediums also appeared very calm. Not continuing her attack on Wan Wu Yi, she swept her gaze over the massive restrictive barrier enveloping Gu Mo City. A cold smile played on her lips, then she took out a cigarette and lit it for herself. There was no fear, no anxiety; instead, she gave off an impression of disdain.
"This array is named the Blood Refining Grand Array. It is one of the few powerful formations of my Demon Cult. To successfully deploy this array, it cost me a significant amount of time and vast resources; just refining the formation flags alone was a huge expenditure. Now that this array has been successfully activated, I am very pleased and also very much looking forward to it. As for what effect this array truly has, you will find out soon enough. But before that, I want to show everyone something, hehe, I believe you will be very excited after seeing it."
As everyone ceased their attacks, the scene suddenly fell silent for a moment. However, this silence only lasted for an instant; subsequently, the silence was broken by Wan Wu Yi's voice.
"Wan Wu Yi, do you truly believe that with your strength alone, you can contend against all the forces of our Gu Mo City? You're playing with fire and burning yourself!"
Zhuang Yingjie roared angrily at Wan Wu Yi. At this moment, a bad premonition arose in his heart, and this premonition was exceptionally strong. Furthermore, his Lifebound Demon Armament had shattered and he was gravely wounded, his strength plummeting. Facing this situation, he felt even more uncertain, and therefore, he lost his composure for a moment; his former demeanor as a master was nowhere to be found.
Wan Wu Yi directly ignored Zhuang Yingjie. He didn't even spare Zhuang Yingjie a glance, as if he hadn't heard Zhuang Yingjie's furious roar.
His reaction like this was a blatant slap in the face for Zhuang Yingjie. It was an extreme humiliation, so infuriating that Zhuang Yingjie's entire body trembled.
"Come back, all of you. From now on, you only need to watch the show; you don't need to perform on stage anymore."
Wan Wu Yi issued a command to his surviving subordinates. Although he didn't call out names, all of his surviving subordinates understood that Wan Wu Yi's words were directed at them.
These people did not hesitate, and immediately returned to Wan Wu Yi's side at their fastest speed. Even the Corpse King, after letting out an unwilling roar at the crowd that had previously besieged it, likewise chose to return to Wan Wu Yi's side.
Wan Wu Yi smiled as he glanced at his subordinates. His already few subordinates now only had three remaining, and each of them was injured, with two even quite seriously wounded.
Regarding this, Wan Wu Yi showed no anger, nor any heartache. From his reaction, it wasn't hard to see that he actually didn't care about the lives or deaths of these people.
"Congratulations on still being alive. I won't forget what I promised you before. As long as you survive, there will be unexpected benefits, and these benefits will excite you and will absolutely change your perception of me. Following me, you will definitely feast. Of course, when necessary, you should be willing to sacrifice your lives for me. Hehe, take a good rest. The real show is about to begin. Keep your eyes peeled."
