Chapter 366 Fallen Petals Are Not Heartless
In just a few breaths, everyone was in their positions.
At that moment, the Burial Mound, which resembled a raging, thousand-year-old volcano about to erupt and spew scorching lava that would wither all things, became eerily quiet when Wei Wuxian raised his flute and began to play.
Then, as Chen Qingdi waved his flute, the thick, dark resentment that covered the mass grave and was almost dripping with ink suddenly faded a little.
The color faded a few shades in the next instant.
It's like a thick inkstone falling into a clear pool of water; the ink is gradually diluted and faded until it becomes colorless.
Accompanying these strange occurrences were figures, one after another, whose aura was extremely restrained yet still imposing, walking calmly from the deepest part of the mass grave.
Whether fat or thin, tall and mighty or petite and delicate, adorned in elaborate robes or dressed simply, dignified or unrestrained, with an air of otherworldly grace or a dashing and romantic demeanor...
What an exceptional and outstanding demeanor!
If it weren't for the strikingly incongruous, ink-like pupils on each exceptionally beautiful face, so blessed by heaven, which starkly revealed their inhuman nature.
Anyone who sees him would mistake him for a powerful figure from an ancient immortal sect who, moved by the suffering of the people, has traversed countless years to appear in the human world and contribute to saving the world!
Ironically, their appearance did not bring hope for survival; instead, it officially tolled the death knell for the world's annihilation!
Almost simultaneously, those who had entered the formation on Wei Wuxian's side were simultaneously channeling spiritual energy and resentment, intending to reactivate the heavily modified version of the Myriad Things Array that Wei Wuxian had painstakingly upgraded and modified.
The ancient ferocious corpses and vengeful ghosts that silently emerged from beneath their feet all raised their heads and roared silently at the layers of array barriers outside the mass grave.
Like hearing thunder in silence.
The thousand-layered array that had been tightly binding and suppressing it outside the mass grave shattered more than a dozen layers in the blink of an eye, emitting a sharp "pop pop pop" sound!
Fortunately, the arrays surrounding the mass grave were numerous and sturdy enough that the silent roars of the hordes of vengeful ghosts and fierce corpses, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, only managed to shatter a dozen or so arrays before losing their destructive power.
This surprised the confident, ancient, and powerful corpses.
"what?"
A hint of confusion, and a touch of interest, flashed in their dark and terrifying pupils—the condescending interest of a cat playing with a mouse.
"Heh! This is getting interesting!"
Suddenly, the horde of fierce corpses and ghosts parted to make way, and several figures darted out like gusts of wind, landing with a "thud" on the smooth, intricately runed barrier wall, studying it with great curiosity.
"Hold your attack for now, and let this old man/myself take a good look at the skills of these younger generations!"
The dozen or so "people" leading the group had slightly flickering eyes, as if they were weighing their options. In the end, they decided that Wei Wuxian and the others outside the Burial Mound were nothing more than a rabble with a little bit of cleverness. They could easily crush them all with a single move!
So why not grant these old friends their small wish?
At least we spent countless years together in that godforsaken place deep in the mass grave!
They nodded their chins in unison, which was considered an agreement to postpone the attack.
The fierce corpses and vengeful ghosts standing all over the mountains behind him immediately bowed their heads respectfully and stopped moving!
In the vast mass grave, only a few "people" engrossed in studying the barrier occasionally made some soft noises; the rest of the place was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
The arrogance and contempt of the fierce corpses and ghosts gave Wei Wuxian and the others an opportunity!
When the barrier of the mass grave shattered more than a dozen formations due to the silent roar of ten thousand ghosts, Wen Ning and the others guarding the foot of the mass grave immediately noticed it. The people guarding the formation at the four directions and five extremes formation eyes also sensed the anomaly at the mass grave through the life of all things. Lan Qiren and the others who retreated to the center of the formation with the last embers of fire also noticed it!
While feeling anxious and apprehensive, I held my breath and sped up my movements, trying to gain the upper hand over "them"!
As for Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, who were guarding the array eye placed in the blood pool inside the Demon Subduing Cave, they not only noticed the unusual activity at Burial Mound before the others, but also witnessed "them" stepping out from the depths and silently roaring as they attacked the array through a small gadget they had placed in advance!
Through the incredibly detailed images transmitted, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji were able to clearly estimate the enemy's strength, which was extremely formidable!
At the very front were a dozen or so figures who were clearly in charge. Judging from their imposing presence, it could be estimated that their strength was at least at the half-step Tribulation Transcending Realm!
Behind him, countless figures covered the mountains and fields, and the powerful aura emanating from them were all no weaker than those in the Integration Stage!
In addition, resentment amplifies their unique power!
Wei Wuxian twirled his fingertips, looked up and met Lan Wangji's gaze. Lan Wangji nodded silently.
Then, Wei Wuxian smiled and turned around to hug Lan Wangji tightly in his warm embrace, which was filled with the light scent of sandalwood. He rubbed his face against Lan Wangji's broad chest a few times with extreme affection.
Feeling the strength of Lan Wangji's firm arms encircling his back, Wei Wuxian smiled faintly, reluctant to part. He released Lan Wangji, and in the depths of Lan Wangji's shallow eyes, he suddenly turned around and, like a moth drawn to a flame, plunged into the pool of blood without hesitation.
Because Wei Wuxian set up the most crucial array eye of the entire Myriad Things Life Formation under the blood pool inside the main cave of the Demon Subduing Cave, so that he could use its naturally generated strange rules to pry open the unique rules of the entire Burial Mound, make them his own, and lend them a helping hand!
Lan Wangji, whose arms had suddenly lost their warmth, simply raised his light-colored eyes and gazed at Wei Wuxian with tenderness and reluctance, until Wei Wuxian nimbly leaped into the blood pool and disappeared from sight.
He lowered his eyes and composed himself, then turned and walked towards another corner inside the main cave, opposite the blood pool.
There, Wei Wuxian also set up a small array to serve as a transitional protection, intended to reduce the pressure on Wei Wuxian, who was at the center of the array, and to defend against other dangers.
This formation is of paramount importance, therefore Lan Wangji will guard it!
