What is creepy is that in the cracks, there was a liquid as red as blood, like winding blood-colored meridians, spreading throughout the city.

Taoist Master Qingfeng, who had been crazy, suddenly burst into laughter at this moment. The laughter was sharp and harsh, like the cry of a night owl, making people shudder.

"Hahaha... Tianji Lock! The five souls returned to the position! I secretly divided the Tianji Lock into the five souls. Now, it's time to take it back!"

Xi Yu's heart sank. He finally realized that all this was a huge conspiracy, and he, Cai Wenshuang, and the people of the entire city, were just pawns in this conspiracy.

He turned his head suddenly to look at Cai Wenshuang, but saw that she was pale, her eyes were empty, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Xi Yu..." A strange voice came from Cai Wenshuang's mouth. The voice was low and hoarse, like a call from hell, "You... lost..."

"Do you think you really understand me?" Cai Wenshuang, or the "it" that occupied Cai Wenshuang's body, said in a playful tone, slowly stretching out his hand and pointing at Xi Yu.

"Xi Yu..." The sound was cold and empty, as if it came from the Jiuyou Underworld, and every syllable was filled with a suffocating chill.

Xi Yu's heart sank suddenly, and he stared at Cai Wenshuang, or rather, it was the "thing" that occupied Cai Wenshuang's body.

On that familiar face, a strange, creepy smile appeared at this moment, as if mocking his ignorance and innocence.

At this moment, a white figure flashed like a ghost, and grabbed Cai Wenshuang, who was the man in white who had been hiding in the dark before!

He had no expression on his face and his eyes were cold as ice, as if he was a machine without emotions.

He roughly dragged Cai Wenshuang toward the center of the altar, and his movements were so fast that Xi Yu had no time to react.

"Let her go!" Xi Yu roared, his voice hoarse, and his eyes were covered with blood.

He wanted to rush over, but was locked in place by an invisible force and could not move.

The man in white turned a deaf ear to Xi Yu's roar. He just glanced coldly at the bright red jade pendant mark between Cai Wen's eyebrows.

The mark was emitting a strange light at this moment, which shone with the array map formed by the flowing blood on the altar, creating a mysterious resonance.

The altar shook violently again, and the faint green flames leaped even more violently, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

The man in white pressed Cai Wenshuang in the center of the altar without hesitation. The jade pendant mark was perfectly matched with a sunken shape on the altar!

"No--!" Xi Yu let out a desperate roar, and he felt that his soul was about to be torn apart.

He struggled desperately, trying to get rid of the invisible bondage, but in vain.

At this critical moment, Cai Wenshuang suddenly spoke, his voice was crisp, but with a chilling calm: "Sir Xi, the purple gold elixir you hid in the Cai Family Medicine House back then was prepared for today, right?"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, slashing into Xi Yu's heart.

He suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Cai Wenshuang with a blank mind.

The purple gold elixir was a rare treasure he had obtained after all his efforts. He used it... for... he couldn't remember its purpose for a moment!

"Purple Golden Pill..." Xi Yu murmured to himself, countless pictures flashed through his mind, but he could never piece together a complete answer.

He felt that his memory was covered with a layer of fog, making him unable to see the truth.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

"ah--!"

Xi Yu and Cai’s father let out a shrill scream at the same time. The two fell to the ground at the same time, their bodies twitching violently, as if they were suffering tremendous pain.

A translucent figure slowly appeared between their bodies!

The figure was wearing a quaint robe, with a blurry face, but exuded awesome pressure.

That is... the phantom of the Lord of Tianji Pavilion!

At the same time, Sima Zhao, who had been silent all the time, suddenly laughed to the sky, and the laughter was sharp and harsh, like the cry of a night owl.

The bronze chime in his hand made a crisp sound without wind.

The sound was not an ordinary music, but an ancient and mysterious melody - "The Conjuring Song"!

"Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-

The sound of chimes echoed over the entire city like a spell that urged death.

The ground began to shake violently, the houses were shaking, and the people fled around in horror, crying, screaming, and the sound of houses collapsed, intertwined into a doomsday scene.

What is even more frightening is that the entire city began to slowly settle down to the ground!

It felt like a huge hand was dragging the city into an endless abyss.

"It's over... everything is over..." Taoist Qingfeng smiled foolishly, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes.

Guanglingzi had a cold smile on his face. He looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

He knew that his plan was finally going to succeed!

Xi Yu lay on the ground, raised his head with difficulty, and looked at the doomsday scene in front of him, and his heart was filled with despair.

He wanted to stop all this, but found that he could do nothing.

He could only watch the city, and with everything he cherished, towards destruction.

Suddenly, a cold voice rang in his ear: "Is this what you want?"

Xi Yu turned his head suddenly, but only saw Cai Wenshuang's familiar and unfamiliar face. A strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were empty, as if she was mocking his powerlessness and despair.

The tremors underground became more and more intense, as if the roar of a giant beast echoed under the crust.

The cracks spread like spider webs, swallowing the foundation of the city.

The houses collapsed, rubble splashed, and the air was filled with the smell of dust and fear.

In the middle of the altar, a huge stone slab slowly rose, and a thousand-year-old painting appeared on it. The woman in the painting fluttered clothes and looked peerless, but there was an indescribable sadness between her eyebrows.

"Is this... the Lord of the Tianji Pavilion?" Guanglingzi narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman in the painting greedily.

He has studied Tianji Pavilion for many years, but has never seen the true appearance of the Pavilion Master.

The scroll slowly unfolds, revealing a shocking secret: beside the woman, a baby in a swaddling clothes was snuggled up, and a familiar jade pendant was hanging between the baby's neck - exactly the same as the one on Xi Yu's neck!

"Yu'er..." A misty voice echoed on the altar, with endless sorrow and attachment.

The figure of the girl in purple was peeled off from Cai's father's body, as vague as light smoke.

She stared at the scroll with complex eyes, angry, helpless, and deep sorrow.

"What you stole was not only the secret book of Tianji Pavilion, but also my last chance to continue my bloodline!" The purple-clad woman's voice was sharp and harsh, with a chill of resentment for thousands of years.

Cai's father collapsed on the ground and trembled all over. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He stole secret books to save his daughter's life, but he did not expect that it would cause such a huge disaster.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

The Iron Armored Guard suddenly turned against him and pointed the sword in his hand directly at Sima Zhao!

A pattern that was the same as the Xi Yu jade pendant appeared on his neck, emitting a dazzling light.

"He is... the person from the Xi family?" Lei Dunzhu widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

He recognized a mark on the right arm of the Iron Guard Commander, "He is the son of the Xijia Private Army Commander who disappeared twenty years ago!"

Sima Zhao was caught off guard and was stabbed through the chest with a sword by the Iron Armored Guard.

He looked at the scene in disbelief,

"Why...Why..." Sima Zhao's voice became weaker and weaker, and he finally fell into a pool of blood.

In the chaos, Cai Wenshuang took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and stuffed the brown pills inside into Xi Yu's mouth.

This is the secret medicine of mountain people left by her mother, and it is said that it can bring back the dead.

"Living...you must live..." Cai Wenshuang's voice trembled, and tears blurred her eyes.

The two fell into a coma at the same time, with their palms overlapping.

At this moment, Xi Yu's jade pendant and Cai's father's arm actually combined into a complete pattern - the activation array diagram of Tianji Lock!

The light of the altar became more and more powerful, and a powerful force surged out of the array map, sweeping across the entire underground space.

"No..." Guanglingzi screamed in horror, trying to escape, but found that he was bound by an invisible force and could not move.

Master Qingfeng smiled madly, and he opened his arms as if he wanted to embrace the power of destruction.

"Hahaha... Finally... we're coming..."

The vibrations in the underground stopped and the settlement of the city also stopped.

Everything seemed to be still, only the dazzling light on the altar and the overlapping hands...

Suddenly, a delicate figure appeared on the edge of the altar.

She was wearing a red dress, pale face, and held a blood-stained broken sword in her hand.

She looked at the unconscious Xi Yu and Cai Wenshuang, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"The game... has just begun..." Xiaohong said softly, his eyes cold.

Xiaohong's slender fingers tightly held the blood-stained broken sword, and the sword body was still trembling slightly, like a dying butterfly.

On her pale face, a decisive smile was as sad as a flash in the pan.

Without any hesitation, she stabbed the broken sword into her heart.
