Chapter 72 Meridian Soul Locking Formation (1/2)

The Burning sky drum flew all the way back to the Xuanyuan sect in less than half an hour.

Yin Hanjiang completely threw off Yao Jiaping’s skin and stood on top of the drum, wearing a red robe as he flew against a strong wind, outlining his strong and thin body. The silver belt against his red robe made his waist look thinner.

When he arrived above the main altar, he did not land immediately, but said loudly: “Disciples of the Xuanyuan sect, listen to this patriarch’s order, lay out the Meridian Soul Locking Formation.”

Everyone at the main altar heard his words and were shocked beyond measure.

Qiu Congxue, who had been depressed since Yin Hanjiang cut her flesh suddenly cheered up and grabbed the book-clutching drooling Xie Huai who was sleeping by the table and smiled wildly: “Come, disciple, follow me to set up the formation!”

“What, what formation?” Xie Huai, who was shaken awake by Qiu Congxue, suddenly pulled out the Emotion Extinguishing Rod and said: “Why, what’s wrong? Is there an invasion?”

“It’s the Meridian Soul Locking Formation, I have only seen this formation once in 300 years.” Qiu Congxue licked her lower lip excitedly: “A hundred years ago, Wen Renhe and Yin Hanjiang killed in main altar and the old patriarch who was devoured by the Burning Sky Drum and was already dying asked us to set up the Meridian Soul Locking Formation to seal them off.”

At that time it was so dark that day and night turned upside down. Hundreds of experts from the Xuanyuan sect laid down a formation, trapping the wounded Wen Renhe and Yin Hanjiang in the formation. At that time, everyone thought they would die, Qiu Congxue, who had been stabbed in the brain, tried her best to protect the formation and to trap the two of them.

The formation was maintained for three days and three nights, when everyone thought they were going to die in the Meridian Soul Locking Formation, the Polis and Alkaid stars shone brightly in the sky. Blood red sword and seven stars killing halberd flew out of the Meridian Soul Locking Formation. Wen Renhe, who also flew out, called back his seven stars killing halberd while the blood red sword turned into Yin Hanjiang who fell down unconscious and was caught by Wen Renhe and held in his arms with one hand.

“To be able to force me to this extent is admirable,” Wen Renhe said slowly: “ I originally thought that the Xuanyuan sect was full of villains so no one should be left behind. Now it seems that it is possible to govern.”

When the halberd was waved, a new star map formed above Wen Renhe’s head.

The battle intent made Wen Renhe feel no pain in his body or soul, and the star power replenished his overdrawn genuine Qi. His black robe fell as the star shone behind Wen Renhe’s back.

It was not a deliberate cultivation technique but rather a mark left on Wen Renhe when he was still a mortal, when he survived near death on the battlefield.

These scars miraculously formed the star map of the fourteen main stars, absorbing star power continuously. When the seven stars killing halberd was swung, more than hundred sect disciplines in the formation were severely injured.

At that moment, Wen Renhe stood at the edge of the sky with Yin Hanjiang in his arms. Some Xuanyuan sect people were thinking of joining forces to kill him, but those who could get up, all kneeled down with both knees and hands on the ground, their heads deeply bowed.

Kneeling was to pay respect to Wen Renhe’s strength that beat hundreds of them. It was not only the two men that made the whole Xuanyuan sect fall to their knees, they also kneeled to the miracle of the starry sky.

From that moment on, Wen Renhe deservedly became the devil venerable.

Meridian Soul Locking Formation also became the Xuanyuan sect’s secret formation but as long Wen Renhe was with them they would never need this formation so even during the massive demon war they didn’t use it.

But today, Yin Hanjiang wanted to use the Meridian Soul Locking Formation. What kind of enemy deserves such caution from him?

“Your master, this master, from that time onwards made up her mind to advance to the Mahayana realm, and finally gathered courage to enter the hungry ghost path.” Qiu Congxue said: “I was afraid of pain and death, but only after that did I realize that cultivation is like sailing against the current, only the word “courage” can determine the situation!”

But Master, your “Brave” seems to be written as “reckless”…. Xie Huai pursed his lips but didn’t say anything, afraid that his master would beat him.

“Meridian Soul Locking Formation needs at least ninety-nine nascent soul experts, but I do not know if we can still get so many people,” Qiu Congxue said: “Let’s go, master will take you to see the fun.”

Qiu Congxue and Xie Huai were the first to arrive, followed by Zhong Liqian, Shu Yanyan who came with a dozen subordinates, all of whom were above the nascent soul realm.

Baili Qingmiao fell gently. At that moment, Wen Renhe had already left her body so she said to Zhong Liqian: “Brother Zhong.”

Zhong Liqian who rarely took off his blindfold, took them off to look at the state of Baili Qingmiao, enduring the dizziness in her eyes he put back the blindfold and said with some relief: “You have entered the path of dao.”

“I still have to thank all the seniors for their help.” Baili Qingmiao said softly.

“Who is the Meridian Soul Locking Formation for?” Shu Yanyan asked.

“For He Wenchao as well as blood demon ancestor.” Baili Qingmiao said: “Patriarch Yin broke into the Shangqing sect alone and captured He Wenchao. Now He Wenchao is only at the Foundation Building realm but blood demon ancestor is still difficult to deal with, so he should be sealed.”

“Yin Hanjiang captured He Wenchao and you didn’t stop him?” Shu Yanyan didn’t care about the life and death of He Wenchao but she looked at Baili Qingmiao with slight concern.

Protector Shu wasn’t interested in falling in love but she admired lovers. She was also fond of Baili Qingmiao who was an innocent, non-pretentious, kind-hearted woman who did not place demands on others excessively. If it was possible, Shu Yanyan hoped that Baili Qingmiao could be treated better but it was a pity that fate got in the way and this kind of passionate love met such a heartless man.

Baili Qingmiao smiled: “Thank you for your concern, Miss Shu, Baili has already seen through the mortal world and decided to become dedicated to merciless path.”

Hearing her call her “Miss Shu” obviously made her remember the past so Shu Yanyan said with a smile: “When we first met, you were still a little girl who got angry with me for the sake of your senior martial brother. But after 40 years passed you got on the best path of ascension.”

The beautiful woman tilted her head slightly to the sky and sighed quietly: “The Shu path is difficult and it’s harder than going up to the blue sky. There are countless dead bones under the main road and the slightest mistake can cause the destruction of the soul. If you can’t find a person who can join hands with you to go against the heavens, it’s better to let go of your love and go alone.”

She said this to Baili Qingmiao, as well as to herself. But it was one thing to be moved by your heart and whether you were willing to risk your heart for this feeling was another.

Shu Yanyan was never a person who was obsessed with love, she was only after strength!

Protector Shu did not look at Zhong Liqian, but Zhong Liqian still understood. His eyes might be blinded but his heart was not. This intelligent woman’s good intentions Zhong Liqian always understood, so he appreciated protector Shu. Zhong Liqian never said it because he was clear that this one was a scorpion beauty who always wanted to live her life freely and never be tied down by anything.

But …… Zhong Liqian felt the harsh killing intent from the sky and thought that if he was like these two, the mutual support and love wouldn’t be so bad.

It was hard to ascend to the top but it was even harder to understand people.
