Going against the will of heaven, summoning strange beasts, abandoning her daughter, she is addicted

Upon first hearing this title, Ruan Yu thought that the dead Dark Sixteen had been resurrected.

She turned around and looked speechlessly at Gongsun Yihua, who was panting as she caught up: "Are you ever going to stop?"

"Fifteenth Brother, may I call you that? I heard Brother Shi Liu call you that too."

Gongsun Yihua was afraid that Ruan Yu would get angry, so she deliberately stood five meters away from her. In case Ruan Yu suddenly lost her temper, she could at least hide.

At least there's time to react.

Whether they can escape or not is unknown.

"Are you here for that treasure too?"

Ruan Yu remained silent.

After reaching the summit, she found nothing unusual. She looked around thoroughly but couldn't find any so-called sealing barrier. The oppressive force felt by the mutated eagle-python was directed at the beast race; neither she nor Gongsun Yihua felt it.

“I have a way to make that treasure appear,” Gongsun Yihua said.

Ruan Yu remained silent. She stepped aside to make way for Gongsun Yihua.

The latter's eyes lit up, and he jumped up excitedly, laughing, "You agreed to help me tame the soul beast? That's great!"

Ruan Yu: "?"

When? Who gave her permission? She only seemed to turn to the side!

Ruan Yu became increasingly certain that Gongsun Yihua was ill, and quite seriously so.

"Actually, I'm not entirely sure, because I only learned how to trigger the seal here by overhearing my father's conversation."

As Gongsun Yihua spoke, she walked past Ruan Yu until she reached the highest point: "Use blood as a catalyst."

She frowned, her face pale, and pulled out a small knife, cutting her palm.

"Using the soul as a medium."

As the sound faded, a nearly transparent soul, identical in appearance to Gongsun Yihua, floated out from above her head. The instant the soul appeared, the soil beneath Gongsun Yihua's feet began to flow wildly downwards, resembling quicksand.

Gongsun Yihua was still standing there, but to the naked eye, she looked as if she were suspended in the air.

It's unclear what kind of excruciating pain she endured, but her face was contorted and contorted in agony. Countless times she tried to break the seal: "No, it hurts so much... I don't want to continue!"

Only now did she realize that the so-called seal was actually a sacrifice!

She shouldn't have been the one sacrificed!

Gongsun Yihua waved her hands wildly, trying to disrupt the seal. However, everything she did was in vain.

"Help...help me..." Gongsun Yihua cried out in pain, reaching out a hand to Ruan Yu.

After hesitating for two seconds, Ruan Yu threw out a tree branch: "Grab it!"

If the seal could be opened by just anyone, the treasure would have been taken long ago! How could it still be there now?

Furthermore, since Gongsun Yihua's father already knew how to break the seal, why hadn't he implemented it yet? Instead, he "accidentally" allowed Gongsun Yihua to overhear it.

Unless... this was a conspiracy specifically designed to target Gongsun Yihua!

From beginning to end, the seal was only broken when Gongsun Yihua made a sacrifice!

What a vicious scheme! They even managed to scheme against their own daughter!

What about her?

After rescuing Gongsun Yihua from the small altar, Ruan Yu began to reflect on her own role in this conspiracy.

Dark Four, Dark Eight, Dark Ten, and Dark Sixteen are all dead; they were killed very easily.

This shows that the identities of the four people were completely irrelevant. All four died by their own hands, and Gongsun Yihua was the one who was sacrificed…

Furthermore, this mountain forest is surrounded by a huge barrier.

Ruan Yu suddenly remembered an ancient formation that had been lost for a long time! This formation was called the Sacrifice Killing Formation!

The conditions for activating the Sacrifice Killing Array are extremely demanding, requiring the blood of a hundred god-level powerhouses, plus the blood and soul of a woman with an extremely yin physique.

Four god-level experts have just died, so logically, Gongsun Yihua should not be sacrificed at this time.

Ruan Yu wasn't sure if her guess was correct, so she asked Gongsun Yihua, "When was your birthday?"

Gongsun Yihua was pulled back from the brink of death by Ruan Yu, and naturally answered all of Ruan Yu's questions without reservation.

"Why are you suddenly asking me this? My birth date is very special. I was born in a yin month, yin day, and yin hour, which makes me an extremely rare person with an extremely yin constitution."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Yu's heart sank.

It really was a sacrificial killing formation.

But she really couldn't understand it. Wasn't it supposed to require the blood of a hundred powerful individuals? Even if she included herself, there were still ninety-five short!

A brilliant idea flashed through Ruan Yu's mind!

She knows!

The sacrificial killing formation didn't require fresh blood! Maybe the person behind it all had already prepared the blood in advance, just waiting for them to step into the formation's range!

"Hurry up and go!" At this moment, even if Ruan Yu didn't want to care about Gongsun Yihua's life or death, she had no choice but to care.

Gongsun Yihua is the key to this sacrificial killing formation. Unlike other key formations, if she dies in the formation, the sacrificial killing formation will be activated immediately, and then she will die as well!

"Where are we going?" Gongsun Yihua asked. "Aren't you going treasure hunting anymore?"

"Do you know you're about to die?" Ruan Yu tried to make Gongsun Yihua understand the seriousness of the situation. "Everyone inside this formation must be sacrificed!"

"I know, if it weren't for you, I'd be dead by now." Gongsun Yihua nodded seriously, then said with relief, "Let's let bygones be bygones regarding our earlier unpleasantness!"

"..." Ruan Yu almost fell from the sky.

“The road is blocked.” Ruan Yu arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The barrier was noticeably thicker than when we entered.

It looks incredibly difficult to destroy.

With time running out, Ruan Yu didn't have the time to think of a way to break the formation.

"Open the barrier." She walked to the entrance of the barrier.

He said to the guard.

The guards noticed the two of them, but remained unmoved.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to open the barrier?!" Gongsun Yihua stepped forward angrily, hands on her hips, and scolded.

The guards then turned around.

They all wore eerie smiles: "Did you think you were some high and mighty young lady from the Gongsun family? Talking to us like that!"

"The formation has been activated. Although it has been interrupted, it's only a matter of time before it's activated again. You're all about to die!"

"Hahahaha... Once the sacrificial killing formation is complete, we will gain unparalleled power!"

Their smiles were wide and their expressions were stiff and eerie.

They don't look like real people at all.

"Water people!" Ruan Yu exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to know who we are?" The guards stared at Ruan Yu with empty, cold eyes.

One by one, their clothes gradually fell off.

The limbs became almost transparent, like water...

In the end, it became exactly the same as the water person that Ruan Yu had seen that day!

But upon closer inspection, the differences can still be observed. The facial features of these water people are particularly blurry, unlike those of the Dark Pavilion Master, who has distinct features.

"Ah!" Gongsun Yihua had never seen anything like this before.

She screamed in terror.

She now trusted Ruan Yu completely, and hid directly behind Ruan Yu, still clutching her sleeve with one hand.

"Are these water people? Does such a race even exist?"

"Probably not," Ruan Yu said, not daring to make a guarantee.

The water people refused to open Ruan Yu's defenses, so Ruan Yu had no choice but to launch a direct attack, telling them to "stand back a bit."

These words were spoken to Gongsun Yihua.

"okay."

"Break Ice!" Ruan Yu took out the Break Ice Sword and infused it with the power of the Ice God. With a single strike, the immense sword intent, like the force of thunder, crashed unstoppably against the barrier.

The chill of the extreme ice was something Gongsun Yihua could not withstand.

She moved further away; it was still so cold.

When he tried to stand back, his whole body was covered in frost and ice, his vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

It's so annoying, I also have to spare some attention to protect Gongsun Yihua.

Ruan Yu sighed helplessly, flicked out a wisp of phoenix fire, and protected Gongsun Yihua.

"A divine artifact, ultimate ice, phoenix flames!" The water people were in an uproar: "You woman, you're a treasure trove!"

"To be able to casually produce so many treasures, I can't even imagine how many more trump cards you have up your sleeve!"

"Then let me show you!" Ruan Yu unleashed the World-Destroying Compass.

The redesigned Contempt Compass is more than ten times more powerful than before. Moreover, its core has been replaced with a lamp wick "given" by the deity; it remains to be seen what kind of effect it will have.

"Xuanwu!"

A loud shout.

The World-Destroying Compass emitted a blinding green light, and Xuanwu appeared, manipulating it with one hand. The compass spun rapidly in mid-air, its speed creating powerful gusts of wind!

These whirlwinds appeared directly outside the barrier.

Instantly, the water people were blown into the air and strangled while suspended in mid-air!

"Aaaaaah!!" In an instant, screams of agony filled the air.

However, the Water-type has a unique structure, making it difficult to kill. Even if it is cut into several pieces, it will reassemble itself in the next second and regain its human form.

"It's no use, they can't kill us!"

"In ten more breaths, the sacrificial killing array will be activated again! Stop making futile resistance!"

During the fight, Ruan Yu released her telekinetic power. Just now, she saw several water spirits disguised as guards pouring something into the ground at the foot of the mountain on the other side.

It's blood! The blood of a god-level powerhouse!

It would be too late to break the barrier again and stop all of this from happening now. However, she had already broken a hole in the barrier in front of her.

The way the Water People pour blood is traceable; after pouring it in one place, they move forward several hundred meters and continue pouring it.

The blood of a hundred powerful individuals almost circled the entire mountain.

In other words, there is also a blood-filling point at the foot of the nearby mountain!

Destroying any of the blood-infusion ports will delay the activation of the sacrificial killing array.

Just as Ruan Yu was pondering these things, only two breaths remained. This time, she spared no effort, instantly unleashing a fusion sphere of ten elemental divine powers.

As expected, the barrier shattered, and the water people vanished from the world in that instant.

Ruan Yu followed the scent of blood to the nearest blood-drinking opening and quickly inserted the Blood-Drinking Blade into the ground.

"Suck it in!"

They seemed to have victory in their grasp, but in reality, they were truly out of options.
