Chapter 61 Master of Formations
Chapter 61 Master of Formations
In the Meijiang River, half of the ferocious black beast's body emerged from the water, swimming rapidly in the water, heading straight for Yongkang County.
This black behemoth looked exceptionally fierce in the water, but upon closer inspection, one would find numerous wounds on its body, the most obvious being its tail, which was missing a large section. There were also gunshot wounds on its body, indicating that it was already injured.
At this moment, there were three figures on the back of this black behemoth.
One woman and two men; the woman in palace attire sat cross-legged, meditating, while the two men stood guard.
"puff!"
The woman in palace attire, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, and her whole being became weak and listless.
"Madam, what's wrong?"
The two male guards quickly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
The two men thought the woman in palace attire had been injured in the previous fight and had encountered a problem while recuperating!
"The Soul-Separating Array I set up at the dock has been broken!"
Princess Jiang was weak and looked very unwell.
She never expected that her carefully arranged soul-separating formation would be broken!
She had put in a lot of effort to set up the Soul Separation Array, and the materials were carefully prepared in advance by Master Jiang, specifically to counter the reinforcements from Yunnan.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any expert in Yongkang County who could see through her formation, but in reality, it was broken by someone.
This also ruined all her carefully planned efforts.
Although they delayed for less time than expected, the Soul Separation Array could still be activated, just not as powerfully. As long as the reinforcements from Yunnan arrived at Meijiang Wharf, she could secretly activate it using a secret method.
Even if we can't wipe out all the reinforcements from Yunnan Province, we can still inflict heavy losses on them, making it impossible for them to support Yuning County.
On their way to Yongkang County, Princess Jiang and her entourage received the latest news: the ultimate goal of the Yunnan-Guizhou reinforcements was to support Yuning County, and Yongkang County was only intended for the Yunnan-Guizhou reinforcements to use for training.
The warlords in the province have decided to eliminate the Divine Talisman Society first, and after resolving the chaos in the province, they will send troops to wage a full-scale war against the northern warlords.
The reinforcements from Yunnan Province were only one of several; there were several other teams as well.
The Divine Talisman Society sent more than just their group to stop them; there were others, but they were targeting different people.
As far as Princess Jiang knew, instigating chaos within the province was a condition for the cooperation between the association's higher-ups and the warlords behind them; the longer this situation lasted, the more benefits the Divine Talisman Association would receive.
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
Upon hearing this, the two guards' eyes widened immediately, and they understood why Princess Jiang had suddenly vomited blood.
They had witnessed the terrifying power of the Soul Separation Array. Once the array was set up, it could automatically hide its traces. Even if you searched carefully, you could not find any trace of the array. Its ability to hide was extremely strong. It would only reveal its traces when it was activated.
Those who fall into the Soul Separation Formation are basically caught in it the moment they discover it, and it is very difficult for them to escape.
Logically speaking, the Soul Separation Array should have been set up for a long enough time and have enough offerings to maintain it. Even a master of martial arts would perish within it, let alone an ordinary soldier proficient in firearms.
If their plan hadn't gone wrong, all the reinforcements from Yunnan on those five ships would have perished within the Soul-Separating Formation.
Princess Jiang once said that once the Soul Separation Formation is properly set up and its traces are hidden, it is impossible to discover or break unless a master of formations intervenes.
They were all incredulous when they heard that such a secret formation had been broken.
It should be known that masters of formations are even rarer than masters of martial arts. Not to mention a small county like Yongkang, it would be difficult to find even one in Yunnan Province. How could a small county like Yongkang possibly be hiding a master of formations?
But the only explanation for this situation is that there is a master of formations in Yongkang County who has broken the Soul Separation Formation set up by Princess Jiang.
Otherwise, it's impossible that someone would burn everything around the formation without noticing any problems.
"The formation has been broken; we don't need to go to Yongkang County!"
"Going to the past now is pointless."
"We will investigate later which master of formations dared to disrupt our plans and injure me. I will kill that person."
Princess Jiang looked toward Yongkang County, knowing that going there now was pointless.
Her eyes were icy cold, and everyone felt a strong killing intent towards this unknown formation.
As for going to Yongkang County, she has already given up. Not to mention that she no longer has the materials to set up the Soul Separation Array, even if she did, it would be impossible to set up the Soul Separation Array in a short time.
Even if they take Yongkang County now, they won't be able to stop the reinforcements from Yunnan Province, and they might even end up losing their lives in Yongkang County.
This won't delay things much and is pointless.
As for the followers of the Divine Talisman Society in Yongkang County, she simply abandoned them!
In fact, when she was preparing to set up the Soul Separation Array, the followers of the Divine Talisman Society in Yongkang County were abandoned and made part of the Soul Separation Array. Even if they all died, it was not a big deal. This was also her mission in Yongkang County.
These followers gave their lives to serve the Divine Talisman Society, and their deaths were worthwhile. The Talisman Mother will remember their contributions and grant them divine favor after death.
......
"There was indeed a trap set here."
"Judging from its appearance, it seems to be the sacrificial-type formation mentioned in the newspapers. If you hadn't been so decisive as to burn down the dock, the reinforcements from Yunnan would likely have suffered heavy losses by the time they arrived!"
Jiang Lang looked at the red phantom that was burned in the firelight and sighed.
Although those red phantoms appeared to vanish upon contact with fire, they were anything but simple, especially since they were not physical entities, making them even more complicated to deal with.
Even if reinforcements from Yunnan Province arrive, they will suffer heavy losses, and without countermeasures, they may all be left here!
"This is the divine talisman sacrifice formation mentioned in the newspaper. It's really strange."
"It's a pity that these illusory figures in the formation don't have any orbs of light above their heads, otherwise we could have reaped a great harvest!"
Yang Jian felt a pity upon seeing this scene.
After he arrived here, although he couldn't find the problem, he always felt that something was wrong.
In particular, this feeling was brought to him by his spiritual body and ghost eyes, which is why Yang Jian acted so decisively.
If you can't find the problem, then trust your intuition.
The current situation proves that his intuition was correct; there's not just a problem here, there's a big problem.
He couldn't even imagine what would happen if the formation wasn't broken and reinforcements from Yunnan arrived.
"Young Master has discerning eyes; we are blind to his true worth."
"Luckily, the second young master acted decisively, otherwise a major disaster would have occurred!"
"Thanks to the Second Young Master..."
Seeing this, those who previously thought Yang Jian was a spendthrift began to praise him and express their respect for him.
This bizarre scene in the fire sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
