Junior sister took first place again

On the banks of the Wei River, before Wen Xingzhou could make a move, Ji He spoke again, "I can help you set up the Liquan Formation."

Wen Xingzhou's wide sleeves moved slightly, and he looked up at Ji He, making a listening gesture.

"Your Excellency's conditions?"

Ji He didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Wen Xingzhou and asked, "I wonder what your relationship with Ah Sheng is..."

"A Sheng is my only junior sister."

Wen Xingzhou answered without hesitation before the other party finished speaking.

Ji He thought to himself: It really is him.

"It turns out to be Lord Wen."

Ji He said, pretending not to notice what Wen Xingzhou was doing, and simply and roughly told Wen Xingzhou his origins:

"The secret realm of Yucheng, where faith is tarnished, Ah Sheng and I still have a promise to meet again someday. Seeing the celestial phenomena change, I came out early to keep the appointment."

Wen Xingzhou certainly knew what his junior sister had encountered in Yangcheng.

The first time he brought his junior sister down the mountain, Ah Sheng discovered the demon clan's heinous conspiracy and had to return in a hurry.

From then on, under the heavy burden of destiny, Ah Sheng never had a peaceful day again.

Wen Xingzhou looked at the plum demon who seemed to be unaffected by the oppression of the world, dissipated the sword energy in his sleeves, and bowed straight.

"I didn't realize it was Immortal Lord Ji who was here. I apologize for any offense..."

Ji He raised his hand to stop Wen Xingzhou from speaking. "Master Wen, you are too polite. Now is not the time for small talk. Since you are Ah Sheng's senior brother, then this Liquan formation must have been set up for her. I wonder where Ah Sheng is now?"

"My junior sister is trapped in the Heaven-Locking Formation. Now that the Nine Stars have aligned, I have come here to set up the formation and bring her back."

Ji He nodded, "I understand."

It looked up at the stars, and at this point, most of the doubts it had previously deduced about the mysteries of heaven had been resolved.

The rest of the progress can only be made after meeting Ah Sheng.

Thinking of this, Ji He no longer wasted time. He suddenly bit his fingertip, and a drop of demon blood fell into the heart of the river.

"boom!"

The entire Wei River swirled upwards, revealing a thousand-year-old, jade-like root deep in the riverbed. Its roots were entwined with a golden halo, the very power of faith tainted by the demons.

Wen Xingzhou was surprised, "This is..."

"My remaining strength." Ji He's face was pale, but he smiled freely. "Using the plum spirit as a guide, I can temporarily clear the land - is that enough for you to set up the formation?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wen Xingzhou no longer hesitated, the sword blade slashed across his palm, and blood stained the palm.

The moment the blood merged with Megan, those contaminated golden light spots suddenly lit up and turned into a bridge of light that went straight through the sky - just connected with the brilliance of the nine stars in a row!

The Liquan jade pendant shattered with a sound, but the fragments condensed into a phantom of a clear spring, rushing along the light bridge towards the direction of the Locking Heaven Array.

Ji He stumbled half a step, his figure almost invisible: "The formation is complete... Now it depends on Ah Sheng's ability..."

Before he could finish, a deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of the palace!

Wen Xingzhou suddenly raised his head——

The blood-red barrier at the imperial palace's location was violently vibrating, and Ning Jiasheng's figure could be vaguely seen struggling within it. Even more terrifying, a thick, living black mist oozed from the barrier's base, gradually condensing into a giant claw...

"As expected." Ji He sneered, "The demons have long since connected the power of faith with the source of the demonic evil. The movement of the sweet spring array awakened 'Him'."

Wen Xingzhou gripped his sword tightly: "Who is he?"

Ji He looked at him, his red mole as red as blood: "The source of the world's demonic calamity - the 'Heart-devouring Demon Lord' sealed by the First Human Emperor."
