Chapter 427: The Little Girl at the Lotus Pond (1)
“Lady Yun, how do we destroy the cores of the spell formation?” asked Leng Mo. He did not know much about spell formations, and he was rather confused at the moment.
“I’ll bring you over to your respective spots, then I’ll tell you what you have to do next. Let us head over to the east now,” answered Yun Jiuge. She had positioned herself way up front, while Leng Mo, Leng Bai, and Leng Hui followed from behind with their soldiers. Their first stop was the Qianqing Palace.
“The Qianqing Palace is home to one of the most important cores of the formation. Leng Mo, I want you and your men to watch over this place within this circle,” Yun Jiuge instructed. Zi Shang was now controlling Yun Jiuge’s body. A stream of purplish fog shot out of her palm and hit the brick pavement. A moment later, numerous purple runes appeared on the bricks beneath their feet, and they eventually combined to form a giant circle on the floor.
The circle was large enough for Leng Mo and his 300 elite soldiers to stand within.
“Do we just stand in the circle?” asked Leng Mo as he stared at the runes in confusion. The runes looked as if they could be easily rubbed away with his hands. He did not think that they would be of much help to him.
“Of course not. When we destroy the cores of the formation, a large number of ‘walking dead’ will appear at the two cores that you and Leng Bai are keeping watch over. Your task is to kill as many of them as possible. This circle will act as a defensive barrier to protect all of you. It will prevent you from drowning in the sea of ‘walking dead’.”
In truth, Zi Shang did not care whether the Leng brothers would live or die. The defensive barrier was something that he had created at Yun Jiuge’s request.
“We might drown?” shrieked Leng Mo. He felt the hairs on his neck stood on ends when he heard what Yun Jiuge said.
“Where do the ‘walking dead’ come from?” Leng Bai asked. He did not believe Yun Jiuge’s words.
