362 Chapter 362/the cracked seal
Qi Zi ‘an thought that Qin shujian had come here to deal with the demons at the Shiyan fortress.
In fact.
His guess was not wrong.
However, only Qin shujian himself knew.
The demons of the Shiyan fortress were his target, but the demons of the other true Dominion fortresses were also his prey.
Every step of the way.
They needed to race against time.
&Nbsp; so,
Qin shujian didn’t have much time to talk nonsense with Qi Zi ‘an, let alone spend the night leisurely before slowly dealing with the evil spirit.
Qi Zi ‘an did not refuse.
His original words were just out of courtesy.
Since the other party was so eager to seal the altar, it was a good thing for the fortress.
It was because there was a problem with the seal.
No one knew when the seal would suddenly break.
At that time.
None of the people in the fortress would survive.
Don’t look at how strong the Army is now, and there are many powerhouses holding the fort.
However, almost no one in the true Dominion was a match for the evil demons unless they were experts who had condensed the universal heavenly lock.
As for the world heavenly lock …
For thousands of years.
The North cloud Manor had only produced Qin shujian.
Very quickly.
Under Qi Zi ‘an’s lead, Qin shujian headed toward the inside of the fortress.
Not long after.
A small fortress appeared in their sight.
He could tell that Qin shujian was puzzled.
Qi Zi ‘an explained, ” ever since the seal broke, the demonic Qi seeped out. In order to prevent the demonic Qi from infecting the seal and causing more problems to the seal, I ordered people to build a small fortress here.
It’s so that if there’s really a problem, I won’t be at a loss.”
Qin shujian did not comment on this.
If the evil demons really broke out of the seal, it would be useless even if they built a few more fortresses, let alone an inner fortress.
Qi Zi ‘an and the others guarding this place was no different from licking the blood off a blade.
It was fine if there were no problems with the seal.
If the seal was really broken …
When the sinister devil broke out of the seal, no one in the entire Shiyan fortress could escape.
Qin shujian suddenly stopped not far away from the inner fortress.
His eyes looked into the distance.
In addition to the light green spiritual Qi, there were also traces of black demonic Qi.
In terms of the density of devil Qi.
It was much stronger than the other areas of the Shiyan fortress.
“It seems like there’s really a big problem with the seal here.”
Qin shujian’s expression turned grave when he saw the demonic Qi that was so dense.
If the seal was intact.
No matter how monstrous the demonic Qi of the evil spirit was, it could not leak out even a little bit.
In the current situation.
The seal was basically broken.
Once the seal was broken, it was destined that the seal would no longer be intact.
In the long run.
It was only a matter of time before the evil spirit broke the seal.
When he saw that Qin shujian had stopped, Qi Zi ‘an asked in confusion, “”Sect leader Qin, could there be a problem?”
“No problem. Let’s go in and take a look.”
“Sect leader Qin, please follow me.”
Qi Zi ‘an suppressed the suspicions in his heart and walked to the front of the fortress. He showed his identity token as a gesture and then brought Qin shujian inside.
The fortress’s tunnels were endless.
It meant that Qi Zi ‘an must have spent a lot of effort to build this inner fortress.
After entering the inner fortress.
Qin shujian noticed that the demonic Qi in the surroundings had become a little thicker.
As for the walls of the inner fortress, they were engraved with array patterns that were suppressing the spread of the demonic Qi.
With Qin shujian’s judgment …
The person who had set up this formation might not even be a formation master.
The technique was too rough.
The connection between the array patterns was not perfect, and it could even be said that there were many flaws.
Such a formation …
If the sinister devil really broke out of the seal, it would be of no use at all.
Even if he suppressed a small amount of demonic Qi that leaked out, he still couldn’t achieve perfection.
Otherwise …
Demon Qi wouldn’t leak out, which made the entire Shiyan Fort have demon Qi.
“When the inner fortress was built, the Marquis sent an array master to set up the array.”
“Yes.”
Qin shujian nodded slightly and did not say much about the formation.
He already knew that the North cloud Manor’s array Dao was in decline.
But he didn’t expect that he had already fallen to this extent.
The Marquis of northcloud’s residence could only send one high-grade array master. They did not even have an array master.
Previously, Xiao Hong had brought 30 people from Marquis northcloud’s residence and asked him to nurture a few high-grade array Masters. He had thought that Marquis northcloud only wanted his help to nurture a few array Masters with potential.
But now, it seemed like …
It was likely that Marquis northcloud’s residence really lacked high-grade array Masters. It was not as simple as nurturing array Masters with potential.
After entering the inner fortress.
Qi Zi ‘an’s expression turned serious. He pointed ahead and said, “”That is where the sealing altar is located. Sect leader Qin, please follow me.”
While he was speaking.
He took out two Jade talismans from his storage ring and handed one over. “This is a protective jade talisman. If you wear it, you will be immune to the contamination of the devil Qi.”
Looking at the Jade talisman in his hand, there was a faint flow of spiritual energy inside.
Seeing this.
Qin shujian shook his head slightly. He said, ” commander Qi, you can keep it for yourself. I don’t need such a thing.
Qi Zi ‘an didn’t force her.
After keeping one of the Jade talismans, he held the other in his hand.
Then, he led the way.
“Sect leader Qin, please follow me.”
“Please!”
Qin shujian followed Qi Zi ‘an and walked toward the sealing altar.
It was called the inner fortress.
In fact, the space inside was not small at all.
After walking for a few minutes.
The demonic Qi had already become dense, and the ground below had already been dyed a faint black.
However, this black color …
Compared to the demonic earth that was completely filled with demonic Qi, there was still a huge difference.
But-
Qin shujian’s expression changed slightly when he saw this.
As for Qi Zi ‘an, his expression was more serious than ever.
the demonic Qi didn’t reach the level of contaminating the ground before. I don’t know when it actually reached this stage!
When he spoke, his tone was full of solemness.
The Jade talisman in his hand was emitting a faint green light, isolating it from the surrounding demonic Qi.
This time.
Qi Zi ‘an was really shocked.
Because in his memory, although the demonic Qi was overflowing, it had never reached such a serious degree.
“The extent of the seal’s destruction is already very serious.”
Qin shujian said in a deep voice.
He recalled that Marquis northcloud had given him a jade stone. Marquis northcloud had clearly stated that he wanted him to take action and eliminate the demons in the Shiyan fortress first.
He had thought that there was only a small problem in the Shiyan fortress.
But now, it seemed like …
The problem was huge.
The demonic Qi infected the ground, and at least ten to twenty percent of the seal was broken.
This level of destruction.
To exaggerate, the evil spirit could break out of the seal at any moment, but judging from the demonic Qi outside, it was definitely not as dense as it was now.
His thoughts were spinning wildly in his mind.
the evil demons Down there must be accumulating power, ” Qin shujian said in a serious tone. they’re destroying the seal bit by bit. However, they’re trying to suppress the demonic Qi from spreading. They don’t want to attract your attention.
“Sect leader Qin, you’re saying that this evil spirit is planning to accumulate enough power to break the seal and come out?”
Qi Zi ‘an was shocked.
He was very clear.
What did Qin shujian mean by that?
If the evil spirit broke the seal and came out.
The entire Shiyan fortress would be destroyed. Even if the Imperial court’s experts wanted to come to help, they would not be able to make it in time.
More importantly-
Once the evil spirit broke the seal …
The entire true Dominion would become a demonic domain.
At that time.
A few other fortresses in the true Dominion had also been destroyed by the sinister Devils.
Then he, Qi Zi ‘an …
They would be the sinners of North cloud Manor.
“Let’s go and see what this demon is planning!” As he spoke, Qin shujian was about to take a step forward.
Qi Zi ‘an said hesitantly, “”Sect leader Qin, since this sinister devil already has a plan, can you see if there’s anything we need to prepare in advance, or do we just go directly like this?”
“He’s just an evil demon, there’s no need to prepare anything.” “Let’s go,” Qin shujian said calmly.
This time.
He walked in front of Qi Zi ‘an.
They were not far from the sealing altar. They could see the bronze pillars in the distance.
He saw Qin shujian’s confident look.
Qi Zi ‘an’s heart, which had been on edge, was temporarily put at ease.
After all, he was a Grandmaster of array Dao. It was rumored that he had broken the boundaries of the true Dominion and become the First Protectorate Lord of the spirit protectorate in a thousand years.
Such strength.
Compared to the other party, he was far too inferior.
Since Qin shujian was confident, Qi Zi ‘an had no choice but to believe him.
However, to be safe …
Qi Zi ‘an still took out his communication jade talisman and sent a message out. He told the people in the stronghold to be on guard. If anything happened, it could suppress the evil spirit at once.
His actions were subtle.
However, it did not escape Qin shujian’s senses.
In this regard.
Qin shujian couldn’t be bothered with him.
After all, the other was the commander of the Shiyan fortress. He couldn’t do anything as long as they didn’t affect him.
As they went deeper and deeper.
The density of the demonic Qi had also become very strong.
However, although the demonic Qi was strong, there seemed to be some force suppressing the spread of the demonic Qi, causing it to only linger within a thousand feet and not spread out too much.
Very quickly.
An altar seal appeared in front of Qin shujian and Qi Zi ‘an’s eyes.
The nine bronze pillars were arranged in a mysterious way.
On the ground.
It was a huge nine-star formation.
But one thing could be seen.
One of the corners of the nine astral formation had cracked open, and wisps of demonic Qi seeped out from it. One of the nine bronze pillars was also half-cracked, while the others were intact.
When he saw this.
Qin shujian’s eyes flickered.
Nine Starlight formation!
In the mortal domain.
The strongest sealing formation that Qin shujian had ever encountered was only the eight-star formation.
As for the nine Starlight formation …
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
The more powerful the formation was, the more powerful the demon sealed within it would be.
