Oasis City, the city lord's palace, the underground secret room.
A middle-aged man wearing a black scorpion pattern robe with a sinister face was sitting cross-legged in the center of a formation.
He is the Xuanzi-level commander of the "Curtain Keepers", a strong man codenamed "Sand Scorpion".
At this moment, a simple bronze mirror was suspended in front of him. In the mirror, there were several broken life cards, emitting the last light, and then completely dimmed.
That was the fate of Scarface and his patrol.
"They were all wiped out..." Sand Scorpion slowly opened his eyes, "A fully-equipped "Yellow"-level patrol, equipped with a "Dragnet Formation", was silently wiped out in such a short period of time, without even a message for help being sent back."
"The strength of this person is far beyond expectations. At least in the late stages of the Tribulation, or even...at its peak." He murmured to himself, tapping his fingers rhythmically on his knees.
"Who is it? Is it the old immortal from the Xiao family who took action himself? No, his Dao injury has not healed and he does not dare to leave Qingfeng City easily. Then, the only biggest variable left..."
Ye Feng's name flashed in Sand Scorpion's eyes.
"The Holy Land has been destroyed, and the world-devouring seed has been destroyed. You, the 'outlier', finally can't hold it in any longer and are you coming to the Northern Territory?"
A cruel sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Very good. I want to see how good you, the "odd number" who has stirred up the world, really are! I have already laid out a dragnet, and I am just waiting for you to fall into it!"
He stood up, and a powerful aura of the middle stage of the Tribulation suddenly dispersed, and the whole secret room was buzzing.
"Pass my order! The "Blood Sand Formation" has entered the highest alert state! All members of the "Yellow" level or above in the city should immediately go to the designated location and stand by! Once traces of the target are found, immediately activate the formation and completely refine it...
Sand Scorpion's voice was full of confidence and murderous intent.
This "Blood Sand Formation" is a killing formation that the "Curtain Keeper" organization has spent thousands of years working on, combining the evil energy of the earth's veins in the endless sand sea and the blood essence of countless creatures. Once fully activated, it is enough to refine a strong person in the later stages of the Tribulation. He believed that no matter how strong Ye Feng was, if he fell into this formation, he would only die.
However, what he didn't know was that the hunting ground he was proud of had already been quietly infiltrated by prey...
In the sky above Oasis City, the figures of Ye Feng and Xiao Wuhen, under the cover of the "Deception Star Array", were like two invisible ghosts, overlooking everything below.
"It's done." Ye Feng clapped his hands, with a smile of success on his face.
Just now, he had passed the "Dayan Star Formation" and unknowingly usurped more than 70% of the control of the "Blood Sand Formation". Now, the nominal owner of this formation is still the "curtain keeper", but in fact, as long as Ye Feng has a thought, he can make him switch sides in an instant.
Xiao Wuhen watched with fear. He couldn't understand Ye Feng's methods at all. That was the ultimate killing formation handed down from ancient times. The complex structure of the formation was comparable to the Book of Heaven. Ye Feng actually cracked and tampered with its core authority in such a short period of time?
"Brother Ye, we are now..." Xiao Wuhen asked softly.
"Now? Of course it's time to watch the show." Ye Feng found a comfortable position and looked at the city below with interest, which was beginning to have an undercurrent. "When they gather everyone, let's have it all in one pot. This will save us the trouble of searching for each one."< /p>
Sure enough, as he expected, as Sand Scorpion's order was issued, members of the "Curtain Keepers" disguised as traders or even civilians in the oasis city came out of the darkness and quickly gathered at the formation nodes throughout the city.
The powerful auras no longer concealed themselves and soared into the sky.
The ordinary monks and residents in the city immediately noticed something was wrong. A depressing and chilling atmosphere enveloped the entire city. Panic began to spread.
"What's going on? There is so much murderous intent in the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Oh my god, look! Those...aren't those...the shopkeeper Liu of Renxintang? He...he is actually a master of the Mahayana period!"
"There is also Boss Wang of the "Happy Forest" tavern! He...he is in the tribulation period!"
Those usually kind neighbors and familiar vendors all revealed their ferocious true colors at this moment, making countless people feel chilled all over.
In the city lord's mansion, Sand Scorpion felt the aura rising from the city, with a satisfied smile on his face. He flew up and hovered over the city lord's palace. His voice was like rolling thunder, spreading throughout the entire Oasis City.
"All curtain guards listen to the order! The target has appeared! Activate the blood-sand formation and seal off the whole city! Today, we are going to kill this beast here and make an immortal contribution to the "Tianmu"!"
"Obey!"
A response like a roaring tsunami sounded from everywhere in the city.
The next moment, the entire Oasis City trembled violently.
"Buzz——"
A blood-colored light curtain rose into the sky from the edge of the city and quickly closed up to form a huge upside-down bowl, completely covering the entire city and the sky.
Within the great formation, blood energy surged, and the sky was filled with yellow sand. Countless ghosts' shadows were floating and roaring in it. An evil force that could corrode the soul and filthy spiritual power filled every inch of space.
"The blood and sand formation is done!" Seeing this, Sand Scorpion laughed loudly, "Boy, I know you are in this city! Now, you are a turtle in the urn! Why don't you show up and die quickly!"
His consciousness swept across the city, searching for Ye Feng's traces.
However, he searched several times but could not find even a trace of abnormal aura.
"Huh? What's going on?" Sand Scorpion frowned.
He had a bad feeling.
The formation has been activated. It stands to reason that any hidden means should be able to escape under the power of the "Blood Sand Formation".
But why, still can’t find anyone?
Just when he was puzzled, a lazy voice came.
"Stop looking, I'm right on top of your head. Having said that, your formation looks pretty good, but it's a little less powerful and the color is not auspicious. I changed it for you, you're welcome."
What?
The Sand Scorpion suddenly raised its head and its pupils suddenly shrank!
I saw billions of bright stars appearing on the bloody sky at some point!
Those starlights carry an ancient, vast, and supreme aura.
As soon as they appeared, the surging blood energy and sandstorm calmed down instantly.
"This...what is this?" Sand Scorpion lost his voice in shock.
"A gift for you."
Ye Feng's voice sounded again.
Before he finished speaking, those billions of stars suddenly brightened up!
"Dayan Star Formation - Reversing the World!"
"Boom!"
A loud noise.
The "Blood Sand Formation" covering the whole city trembled violently at this moment, and then began to collapse inward in an incredible way!
The formation barrier that originally defended outwards instantly changed direction and turned into a sharp blade that strangled inward! The blood evil energy that was originally used to refine the enemy suddenly lost control and flew back towards their own masters - the members of the "Curtain Keepers"!
"Ah!"
"No! The formation is out of control!"
"Commander, save me! My body... is melting!"
Screams came and went, resounding throughout the city.
