Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Strange Space

After dealing with Lin Bai, the black mist around Ren Zeyuan’s body gradually dissipated, revealing his strange appearance. His facial features had changed, and he looked more like some kind of creature hidden under the human skin.

The City Lord laying on the ground was indeed the real city lord, and he was not a monster in disguise. As for why the pills did not have any effect, it was because the evil qi in his body had not been completely purified.

The interior of his body had long been invaded by the black qi. It was as if he was wrapped in a thick layer of filthy soil. No matter how magical the ninth-grade pill was, the medicinal effects could not be exerted.

However, what Ren Zeyuan did not know was that long before Lin Bai fed the pill, a few wisps of spiritual power wrapped in Ruoshui sword Qi had also entered the City Lord’s meridians.

“I’ve waited for this day for too long.”

He kept mumbling, and his words were awkward and difficult to understand. In any case, it wasn’t the common language of cultivators, but rather some ancient language. This made Lin Bai even more suspicious of Ren Zeyuan’s identity.

Perhaps the Ren Zeyuan in front of him had long been invaded by an unknown existence. The outer shell was still the same, but no one knew what the soul inside was.

Following Ren Zeyuan’s incantation, rumbling sounds came from the surroundings. Countless rocks fell and the ground suddenly collapsed, giving people the illusion that the place was about to collapse.

As the world spun, dust flew everywhere. The huge spell formation finally saw the light of day again, bringing with it an ancient aura,

Lin Bai looked at the scene in front of him in shock. It was clearly still underground, but the scene that greeted his eyes made the building look even larger and older. He was sleeping in the long river of history until finally, a mysterious face was revealed.

The surrounding stone pillars were located in a few corners in the north, south, east, and west respectively. The middle became somewhat empty, with only a huge disc-shaped object and a gear in the middle. There were some incomprehensible patterns and paintings carved around it.

The handwriting was blurry, and the patterns could not be seen clearly. After looking at it for a long time, he actually felt dizzy. It was as if these things were about to jump off the wall and come to life. Even so, he could still feel the distorted black shadows around him. They stared at the crowd like tigers watching their prey.

Lin Bai felt a little uncomfortable after observing for a while, so he withdrew his gaze. All in all, there was a strange pressure everywhere. This kind of totem was probably infused with divine sense. It had some kind of hinting effect. It could even unleash spiritual power attacks.

It was probably because it was ancient. Otherwise, people with average cultivation levels might have their consciousness stolen in an instant. Even Lin Bai didn’t dare to be careless. He felt that the distorted black shadows were getting closer and closer. He could see them sometimes.

From their clothing, they looked like people from ancient times. However, their facial features were a mass of black gas, which made them look even more terrifying. As they got closer, the uncomfortable feeling became more obvious.

Lin Bai decisively withdrew his gaze and did not continue looking. The shadows also disappeared. However, a cold aura clearly surrounded them. It felt like they were being stared at. However, they were temporarily unable to cause any substantial damage.

The eeriest thing was the array formation that occupied the entire building.

Everywhere he looked was a massive array formation, and it continued to extend deep into the city. He even suspected that this array formation covered the entire City Lord’s Estate, and not just that.

Even though so many years had passed, the edges of the array formation were somewhat damaged, the talisman seals were damaged and it was no longer as imposing as before, the aura that occasionally leaked out still caused people to tremble from the depths of their souls.

It was as if people were going to be suppressed here forever and could never escape. Lin Bai could be considered to have some understanding of formations. Although he did not know what kind of formation this was, he could tell that it was probably used to suppress things.

Just that what exactly was being suppressed here. It was at the point of using such a powerful and complicated formation. Moreover, from the surrounding environment, this formation seemed to be very old, probably dating back to ancient times. Lin Bai didn’t dare to think about it.

He even suspected that it was because the previous city lord had discovered the location of this ruin that the City Lord’s Estate was built on it. But why did he do this?

All kinds of doubts flashed through Lin Bai’s mind. At this moment, Ren Zeyuan placed the City Lord on the circular plate in the center and muttered to himself.

“Kacha –”

The gears that had not rotated for a long time actually started to rotate here, as if something had come to life. It was like the rhythm of a heartbeat. Lin Bai seemed to hear a sigh in a trance. It was as if some ancient existence had been awakened.

The rusted gears made creaking sounds, and an endless stream of black gas surged into the City Lord’s body from the underground. Only then did Lin Bai clearly see that this place was probably an altar. It was a place used to hold some kind of sacrificial ceremony.

He guessed that the City Lord was the sacrificial offering. Ren Zeyuan was doing this to let the City Lord’s body be occupied by something else.

“My Lord, you’ve been asleep for so many years. It’s time for you to wake up now.”

Ren Zeyuan’s words confirmed his conjecture. His eyes were filled with a strange light, as if he was a fanatic believer, so he had no time to pay attention to the situation on Lin Bai’s side.

In his opinion, these ants couldn’t stop his plan at all. After all, who would care about a bug that could be easily squashed to death.

“It’s over, everything is over.. When that devil truly revives, this place will become a purgatory!”
