Chapter 121: The Stone Wall Formation
Everyone quickly walked toward the stone wall. The closer they got, the more distinct the red glow became. It looked like countless rubies embedded into the wall—dense and numerous enough to make one’s skin crawl.
They examined it for a long time but still couldn’t tell what was special about this wall. Finally, they turned to Yun Jiao.
“Fellow Daoist Yun, could it be that the vitality of West City is hidden inside this wall? Then should we—”
He was just about to suggest breaking the wall apart when Jiao Hengyi’s expression suddenly darkened.
“No!” he said sharply. After studying the densely packed red lights in silence for a while, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he said hesitantly, “Judging by the positions of these red lights, they seem to form a formation. Let’s make sure before we act.”
After speaking, he glanced uncertainly at the others.
“It does look like a formation,” Yun Jiao confirmed with a nod. But this was one she had never seen before. She couldn’t tell at first glance what kind it was. “I’ll calculate it.” She studied the positions of the red lights carefully and began to deduce in her mind. After a moment, she said, “This formation is quite complex. It’s not just a single array. So far, I can tell that the top layer is a guiding formation that draws in all vitality, but there should be other layers hidden beneath it.”
“So it really is here!” Everyone’s expressions darkened. Jiao Hengyi stepped forward and said urgently, “Fellow Daoist Yun, time is short. We should break the formation and release the vitality at once.”
The people in the city couldn’t hold out much longer.
