Chapter 185 Ch 185: The Game Begins (1)
The red rainwater started corroding people and sucking away their life force. Feeling the terror of the red rainwater, people started retreating at full speed. As for those who had no time to retreat in the rain, they were still wailing incessantly.
Very soon, the wailing gradually disappeared, and the corpses could be seen on the ground. After their death, the corrosion speed of these corpses increased, turning them into white bones one after another. A gust of chilly wind blew past and the white bones turned into powder and dissipated into the air.
The people who were watching from the side were all dumbfounded.
What the hell was this red cloud and the red rainwater?
They had never thought that the Azure Divine Pearl and the Azure Divine Lotus that they had found after going through so many dangers would have such a sudden change when it was right in front of them.
“This, this red cloud is heading towards us!”
“Everyone, run!”
Everyone started retreating in panic.
“Look, there are more red clouds over there too!”
Someone suddenly cried out in alarm. Everyone raised their heads and looked over. Their faces turned pale all of a sudden. At this moment, not only was there a red cloud floating in front of them, but there was also a red cloud floating in the other seven directions.
They were completely surrounded by the red cloud.
“Ling Xiaolong, do you know what these red clouds are?” Xiao Lin asked in shock. She never thought to witness such a horrible scene. Even as a Peak Minor Saint, she felt like she would also die under these red clouds.
The dozen or so people who were still alive and kicking just now, in the blink of an eye, all of them were gone.
“It’s just a product from a Level 7 Formation called Devil Cloud Formation.” Ye Xiao shook his head and said.
This red cloud looked terrifying, but in reality, it only gathered the surrounding killing aura and the blood from the Blood Sea to work. The Devil Cloud Formation could only be laid down at a place filled with blood and killing intent.
Since that’s the case, what could be the most perfect place to lay down this formation than Blood Plane Island?
“Ling Xiaolong, can you break this formation?” Xiao Lin asked again when she saw no trace of worry on Ye Xiao’s face. She suddenly felt safer near Ye Xiao.
“Yes.” Ye Xiao nodded.
At this moment, those red clouds had already enveloped all the people. As the red rain fell, many of them fell to the ground, wailing in pain.
“Hehehe, these ants are still dreaming of obtaining the Azure Divine Pearl and Azure Divine Lotus. All of you better be obedient and become sacrifices!” The bald old man said with a sinister smile.
Looking at the many wailing and miserable cries in front of him, a strange excitement flashed across his face.
“Hehe, with these human lives as sacrifices, we can definitely open up that space and awaken our ancestors.”
“Although the people who are alive have exceeded our expectations, fortunately, they did not ruin our plan.”
“Are the people of the Jun Family and the Zhou Family here yet?” The bald old man turned around and asked suddenly.
“They are almost here.”
“Let them speed up a bit, I can only guarantee that I’ll be able to open that secret space for 15 minutes.” The bald old man said.
“Understood!” The other man nodded.
“Everything we do is for the sake to awaken our ancestors, we must not allow any accidents to happen.” The bald old man again said seriously.
In just the blink of an eye, another dozen or so people had already fallen under the rain.
These red raindrops could not only corrode human skin, but they could also affect Chaos Energy, stopping them from working properly. Many people had clearly used Chaos Energy to protect themselves, but under the erosion of these raindrops, it had very little effect.
It is over!
Bo Zhan’s eyes were also filled with unwillingness. He had just learned about the formation and was about to run away by following Ye Xiao’s advice. But when those few people made to obtain the Azure Divine Pearl and the Azure Divine Lotus, greed shrouded his heart and lessened the fear. He started hesitating. He had never thought that he would fall into this place just because of a moment of hesitation. 𝐨𝘃𝗹.
Bo Zhan looked at Ye Xiao with an ugly expression. He did not want to die, but… Will Ye Xiao still help him?
Also, could Ye Xiao really escape?
“Hurry up and escape.” Ye Xiao said in a flat tone to Xiao Lin. At the same time, he spoke, “Don’t worry about the Azure Divine Pearl, I’ll get it for you.”
“There are red clouds all around. Also, the red rain has already surrounded our escape routes completely. I’m afraid I won’t be able to escape even if I have wings.” Xiao Lin shook her head bitterly and continued, “In such a situation, how could you obtain the Azure Divine Pearl? Also, how could you still think about this in such a perilous time?”
“The red clouds will disappear soon.” Ye Xiao said. At the same time, he waved his hand. An invisible energy wave explodes forth his hand and burst past Bo Zhan and his team members.
To their shock, Bo Zhan and others discover the effect of red rain suddenly stopped working on them.
“This is…?” Xiao Lin was surprised but upon a closer look, she was startled and spoke, “This is a formation. When did you lay down a formation? Are you a formation master?”
“This is not time for questions.” Ye Xiao smiled at her and then spoke two words, “Life Recovery!”
And then, a miracle happened.
Xiao Lin was shocked to witness how quickly Bo Zhan and others’ injuries had started recovering. Also, they seemed to have recovered their lost life force as well.
This was shocking!
“Young Master Ling, thank you. Thank you so much!”
“Thank you, Young Master!”
All the people saved by Ye Xiao started thanking him for his lifesaving grace. But Ye Xiao ignored them and told them to run.
Bo Zhan and his followers no longer hesitated and started running away.
Because of the formation Ye Xiao created, which has a larger range of area, Bo Zhan and others were not affected even though they run past the range of red clouds.
In fact, no people were now affected by the red clouds.
Ye Xiao told Xiao Lin to go as well. When Xiao Lin showed hesitation, he told her that something earth-shattering is going to happen there. She should go to her family and give them a detailed explanation as to what happened here.
As one of the overlord forces of the Red Sky Region, the Xiao Family will definitely take action.
And the sooner she’ll come with reinforcement, the safer Ye Xiao will be. The more time it takes, the more likely Ye Xiao’s life will be in danger.
Only then did Xiao Lin nod and took out a talisman-looking thing and tore it apart.
A silver light flashed that enveloped her body and she disappeared the next moment.
On the other hand, this series of actions attracted the bald old man’s attention.
First, Ye Xiao laid down a formation at some unknown time and suddenly activated it to stop the effect of red rainwaters on people, causing the live people to safely escape.
Second, he completely healed a few people from their injuries and even restored their lost life force.
And now, a girl that was beside him disappeared by tearing apart a teleportation talisman.
The bald man immediately understood that the girl must have gone to the outside world, to her family.
In any case, the news of what happened here will soon spread and many powerful people are going to come to this place.
It also means he has to hurry. There is not much time.
Fortunately, enough people were already killed and the required life force was stored in the formation. But the Jun Family and the Zhou Family had yet to come here. Only when they come could he open the space to awaken the ancestor, and used the stored life force to make the ancestor live again.
Aside from opening the space, there were two things left for him to do now.
First, he has to kill Ye Xiao because he could not expect more unexpected situations here. Before Ye Xiao’s appearance, everything was going according to his calculations. But now, they were not.
Second, he has to take away the Azure Divine Lotus and the Azure Divine Pearl. He would never have taken out these treasures if not for luring people to become sacrifices.
Now that the work has been done, there is no need for him to keep these two treasures outside. Some unexpected accident might happen after all.
He immediately made the decision and chose to do the second option first.
However, he had just taken a single step when he saw Ye Xiao suddenly appear right above the Azure Divine Lotus, completely unaffected by the red rainwater. He saw Ye Xiao taking away the Azure Divine Lotus and the Azure Divine Pearl with a smile.
