35: Chapter 35 Crimson Flame Slaughter Formation

Outside Yan Capital

"Are you ready?"

A Masked Man stood on a small hill, looked toward Yan Capital, and said.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for My Lord's command."

Behind him, a man reported to him with exceptional respect.

"True Monarch Qing Yan is indeed a troublesome fellow."

The Masked Man said coldly.

Troublesome as it was, a True Monarch Qing Yan alone could not stop their pace.

"A quarter of an hour."

As the words fell, the Masked Man's figure disappeared.

"Yes, My Lord."

...

"Strange."

Looking at this scene before him, Zhu Yuankong also discovered something amiss.

"What's strange about it?"

Hearing this, Du Yue looked at Zhu Yuankong and asked.

"For powerhouses at the level of a True Monarch of the Other Shore, a fight between them would easily destroy the entire Yan Capital."

Zhu Yuankong said.

Once powerhouses of the Other Shore level began to fight, destroying the entire Yan Capital was no difficult task for them.

But now, the combat range between True Monarch Qing Yan and Demon Lord Ku Ming was unexpectedly controlled within the royal palace.

This was the point that puzzled him.

As for True Monarch Qing Yan, they might still be able to understand.

But Demon Lord Ku Ming was different; these people of the Demonic Path would not care about the commoners in the city.

In their view, the so-called commoners were merely cultivation resources, and human lives were like mustard seeds, requiring no excessive concern.

However, the combat range of the two was still controlled within the royal palace, which definitely could not be controlled by either of them at will.

In other words, Demon Lord Ku Ming also intentionally controlled the combat range within the royal palace.

"That's right."

True Monarch Gu Yan also nodded at this moment.

He strongly agreed with Zhu Yuankong's view. As a powerhouse of the Other Shore level, what he could see was naturally much more than what Zhu Yuankong and the others could.

Especially since he had personally fought Demon Lord Ku Ming, even though he was defeated by the opponent within just a few moves.

But he was still a True Monarch of the Other Shore after all.

"What is the purpose of these fellows?"

Zhu Yuankong gradually became curious.

For the opponent to do this, they must have their own purpose.

At this time, True Monarch Gu Yan also realized something, and his expression changed slightly.

This change was also captured by Lin Ming.

Half an hour's time

During this half an hour, the two sides were deadlocked, neither able to do anything to the other.

"What is your purpose?"

Su Yan said in a deep voice.

He was no fool and quickly noticed that that old fogey Ku Ming had not shown his true strength all along, instead giving off a feeling of dragging out time.

"What purpose? You will know soon enough."

Demon Lord Ku Ming laughed loudly.

What purpose?

You will know in a moment.

True Monarch Ku Ming admitted that Su Yan's strength was strong, but his appearance would not affect the overall situation.

However, in this case, wanting to get rid of that bitch's Disciple would be a bit troublesome.

Ku Ming reached out and grabbed, and an invisible force immediately crossed Su Yan, binding towards the location of Lin Ming and the others.

Yet True Monarch Gu Yan stepped forward and directly shattered this incoming invisible restraint.

Although he was no match for Ku Ming, he could still handle an attack of this magnitude.

"Ku Ming, I see you are truly tired of living."

Seeing Ku Ming's action, Su Yan also sneered and said.

The next second, a sea of fire poured down.

The sea of fire formed by the cyan flames swallowed Ku Ming within it.

"Su Yan, you alone still cannot kill me."

Ku Ming's voice came out from the sea of fire.

The next second, the flames were completely swallowed by the Nether Qi.

But a trace of apprehension appeared on Ku Ming's face; clearly, the strength Su Yan had displayed so far also made him feel a bit tricky.

At this very moment, several purple lights soared into the sky from outside Yan Capital, and these purple lights emanating from around Yan Capital connected together above Yan Capital.

They formed a purple light curtain that wrapped the entire Yan Capital within it.

"What is this thing?"

This scene naturally attracted the attention of the commoners of Yan Capital.

They raised their heads to look at this purple light in the sky and asked curiously.

First the royal capital was sealed off, and then the entire royal palace was taken over by the army and heavily guarded.

This made quite a few people notice the abnormality within.

But they were powerless against this.

"Is this a Formation?"

Seeing this purple light curtain, Zhu Yuankong said with a hint of uncertainty.

Danger!

Su Lianxue's Divine Soul began to issue warnings, telling her that this purple light curtain was extremely dangerous.

If she was not careful, her life might be in danger.

For a moment, Su Lianxue's expression became nervous.

Her gaze subconsciously fell on her Senior Brother.

Yet she found that her Senior Brother was still as calm as ever, showing no obvious emotional change due to the appearance of the purple light curtain.

"Crimson Smelting Yuan Tu Array."

Looking at the purple light curtain covering the entire Yan Capital, Lin Ming also said.

So it was the Crimson Smelting Yuan Tu Array. No wonder these people had so many arrangements outside the city, all for the sake of this Formation.

"Crimson Smelting Yuan Tu Array?!"

Upon hearing the name of the Formation, True Monarch Gu Yan's expression changed drastically.

"Senior Brother, is it true?!"

After a short while, Zhu Yuankong reacted and looked at Lin Ming with shock and panic, asking him.

"That's right."

Lin Ming said with a definitive tone.

As a Ninth-rank Formation Master, he naturally could not be mistaken.

The Formation of the Demonic Path Sect, Blood Fiend Sect—Crimson Smelting Yuan Tu Array

"That bitch's Disciple has some knowledge after all."

Ku Ming said coldly.

Lin Ming furrowed his brows at this.

"Crimson Smelting Yuan Tu Array, you stray dog actually mixed together with the Blood Refining Sect."

Su Yan's expression sank as he said.

Clearly, he also knew what kind of Formation the Crimson Smelting Yuan Tu Array was.

"Senior Brother Zhu, what kind of Formation is this?"

Tong Lingwei immediately looked at Zhu Yuankong. Noticing that the atmosphere was wrong, she hurriedly asked.

"The Blood Refining Sect's Crimson Smelting Yuan Tu Array can extract the Divine Soul and vital blood of all living beings within the Formation."

Zhu Yuankong said with a grim expression.

At this moment, he also understood the opponent's purpose: they wanted to kill all life inside the entire Yan Capital, drain all their Divine Souls and vital blood, and turn them into cultivation resources for these Demonic Path people.

"What a grand move, to refine the entire Yan Capital."

Su Yan said in a deep voice.

Having lived in Yan Capital for so many days, he actually hadn't discovered the tricks of these Demonic Path people. This showed how deeply hidden these people were.

"My Lord, this is not what we agreed upon."

Li Cheng's voice suddenly sounded behind Ku Ming.

He looked at Ku Ming with disbelief.

This was not what they discussed. Weren't they supposed to help him seize the throne of the Great Yan Dynasty, which was why he was willing to assist them?

But now these people wanted to destroy Yan Capital, something Li Cheng could not accept.

"You talk too much."
