Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 54: Life is like a dream, and the soul is lost

The formation set up by Wuzhan adopted the formation 'Life is Like a Dream' from "Collection of Formations Solved", using blood as the guide, crystal as the source, and water as the shadow. It can make people have nightmares and be distraught. Once trapped in the formation, even if you wake up, you will find it difficult to tell when to wake up. After three days of sleep, the water shadow will disappear and the illusion will be dissolved. This formation can only be set up at night when there is no wind, and it will disperse when there is wind. If the trapped person has a strong soul, he will easily walk out of the formation. It is one of the few formations that Wuzhan can set up. The materials are easy to find, the formation is simple, and no cultivation is required. The only difference is that the method of breaking the formation is even simpler. Take out the crystal source and attack with wind to break the formation.

If you smear the blood used to set up the formation on the corners of your eyes and between your eyebrows, you can be clear-headed and identify the direction in the formation and get out of it. Qin Moyao smeared the blood on the corners of her eyes and between her eyebrows for this purpose.

The stars in the night sky have faded, and a faint gray light can be vaguely seen in the east. After Qin Moyao came out of the cave, she used her lightness skills to move very quickly through the jungle. If she continued like this, she would be able to walk out of the Ten Thousand Mountains and return to Emei in less than two days.

The shadows of the trees were passing by, the cool breeze was blowing on my face, and I felt indescribably melancholy. Ever since I was confused and lost in despair the night before, this melancholy had been deeply rooted and unforgettable. I had been spoiled by my family since I was young, and I got the true teachings from my master when I went up the mountain. Everything about me was enviable, and everything was going smoothly and peacefully. But since I came to these Ten Thousand Mountains and met him, that peace was broken, and I fell into complete confusion. My heart, which was usually as calm as calm water, has now become a mess.

Qin Moyao knew that Wuzhan helped him escape, and Xiao Yuzhen would definitely find out that it was him and would not forgive Wuzhan easily. She was very clear about all the comforting words Wuzhan said, so clear that she believed them. In fact, she had always been very calm. She knew that those were just passing clouds and fleeting, so she did not insist on taking him away. She was just talking. In fact, if she really took him away, she didn't know how to face the situation. The master would not take in someone like him. No one could change his fate, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she felt.

The sun had risen, and she happened to be passing by a stream. She had been running all night and felt exhausted. She jumped to the stream, ready to clear her mind. Just as she was about to scoop up some water, she suddenly stopped and found that the face in the water was smeared with blood. The next thing she saw was that it was not her own. She could not bear to wash off the blood, and suddenly she had an urge to go back and take Wuzhe away at all costs. However, this urge was quickly dissuaded by a sentence, "He won't live long!" After gently washing off the blood, she stood up and found that her tears had not been washed away yet. She stood there for a long time, biting her lower lip tightly. With a wave of her sleeves, her figure disappeared by the stream.

……

After Qin Moyao left, Wuzhan Wuxin did not want to sleep anymore. He began to sit cross-legged in meditation and practice the art of preserving health through the mist. As soon as he began to gather energy, he suddenly felt all the pores on his body open up and the mist poured in from all directions. The speed at which his whole body absorbed the energy increased several times more than before. The mist flowed through his eight extraordinary meridians, invigorating him, as if his whole body had gained vitality. He was suddenly startled, "Could it be that the mist in this cave is sufficient?" Then he realized that something was wrong, because this mist could be stored in the body for a long time. After staying for a long time, his whole body felt much more relaxed, and the pain all over his body almost disappeared. This was a feeling he had never experienced before, and it made him very excited. He hurriedly mobilized the mist in his body and followed the method taught by Master Zitan to see if he could condense the energy. After trying for a long time, he finally gave up. It still didn't work. He still couldn't practice, but he was still happy. Although he couldn't practice, his body had vitality. Maybe he could live longer. As long as he was alive, it was a chance for him.

"You little brat, how dare you set up a formation and let the little bitch go!" Xiao Yuzhen appeared in front of Wuzhan at some point and looked at him coldly.

Wuzhan had expected that this formation would not be difficult for Xiao Yuzhen, but he guessed that she was seriously injured, weak, and her cultivation was greatly reduced. Even if she found Qin Moyao, she might not be able to catch up, so he decided to set up this formation. However, he did not expect that she would wake up so quickly and recover well. Wuzhan was not panicked, and said calmly: "I just want to repay her a favor."

Xiao Yuzhen was not in a hurry and said with a giggle, "What favor? I think you have fallen in love with that little bastard. If you like that little bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have given it to you. Why would you need to set up such a magic array?"

"That's not the case. I just hope the Virgin Mary will let her go."

Xiao Yuzhen snorted coldly and said coldly: "If you let her go, will you let your enemy go, and will your enemy let you go?"

Wuzhan asked in doubt: "I wonder what grudge the Virgin Mary has against her that made her hate her so much?"

"Because she is the enemy's bastard, her eyes can't deceive me!"

"There are so many people in the world, and many of them look similar. It would be a bit too arbitrary for the Virgin Mary to judge based on the eyes alone."

Xiao Yuzhen glanced at the disciple who was still sleeping, and said with a cold face: "You don't need to delay time for her here. She has been poisoned by my 'Qi Hua Lian Jin San' and can't escape too far. Besides, I am the only one who has the antidote. If there is no antidote, she will definitely die. Don't waste your time, quickly break this formation, otherwise I will make you live a life worse than death!"

Hearing Xiao Yuzhen say this, Wuzhan already knew that her injuries had not recovered yet. Breaking the formation was to allow the disciples to wake up and chase Qin Moyao back. If so, with Qin Moyao's cultivation level, it would be difficult for those disciples to catch up. If the formation was not broken, Xiao Yuzhen would definitely torture him. There was no need for Wuzhan to endure that pain. He slowly stood up and praised: "The Holy Mother has reached the state of leaving the body and wandering around the world, with insight into the great Dao. In the eyes of the Holy Mother, the formation I set up is just a trivial trick. How can it be hidden from the Holy Mother's eyes?" What he meant was that if you can solve it, you don't need me anymore.

Xiao Yuzhen's cheeks turned slightly red. Although she had just entered the Out-of-Body Stage, she knew nothing about battle formations. She said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense or I'll cut your tongue!"

Wuzhan walked to the spring and took off his cloth shoes, which were given to him by Xia Kexin and were very durable. He stepped into the hot spring, leaned over, and reached out to take out the faintly glowing crystals in the water one by one. The mist emitted from the spring water suddenly stopped, and the mist in the space gradually dissipated.

Xiao Yuzhen was standing by and asked incredulously, "You can set up this formation with just these four crystal stones?"

"Well, that's exactly it."

Xiao Yuzhen giggled and said, "It's amazing that you can set up such a large magic circle with such an inconspicuous crystal. No wonder you can break the seal. It seems that I still underestimated you."

There is a natural pool deep in the cave. When Wuzhan was setting up the formation, Xiao Yuzhen was using her Qi to heal her wounds in the pool. Her weak body and lack of caution caused her to sleep in the water for a long time. Later, she realized something was wrong in her dream, and used her soul consciousness to force herself to wake up. She was relieved to see that Wuzhan had not escaped.

The mist disappeared, and the disciples in the cave turned over lazily, softened their sleepy eyes, and woke up one after another. At first, they didn't know where they were. After a while, they realized that they had had a big dream. Xiao Yuzhen immediately ordered more than 20 disciples to chase Qin Moyao back, leaving only four people by her side.

After the disciples left, Xiao Yuzhen led four disciples and Wuzhan out of the cave. The sun was glaring outside the cave and the sky was clear. They did not wait, but walked slowly towards the place where they had camped. As they walked, Xiao Yuzhen asked, "You also learned the formation in that seal, right?"

Wuzhan asked, "Why is the Holy Mother also interested in battle tactics?" "What do you think?"

"I only agreed to give the Virgin Mary the method of longevity, but I didn't agree to hand over the formation."

"Do you still have a choice?"

Wuzhan said: "There is a choice, choose to die or live."

Xiao Yuzhen giggled and said, "You are such a talker. Do you know that your life is in my hands?"

"My life can only be saved if it is in the hands of the Holy Mother. If it were someone else, I would probably have died long ago. To be honest, I only know this kind of formation. If the Holy Mother is interested, I will tell you everything I know."

"Forget it. This formation can only trap those with low cultivation. It is useless against masters. It is worthless for me to learn it. But if you let the little bitch go this time, I will remember it for now. If you play tricks again, I will never forgive you!"

……

The disciples who were chasing her had been gone for a long time. Logically speaking, Qin Moyao didn't have the antidote and had no internal strength, so she wouldn't have escaped far and should have been caught long ago. Why hasn't she been caught after so long?

The Shadow Catchers that they brought from Cangshan were already dead, and the remaining few that were left in Cangshan were not brought back. If they were to release the Shadow Catchers, they would soon be able to find Qin Moyao's whereabouts. Xiao Yuzhen secretly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out the reason. She stopped, turned around and stared at Wuzhan, and asked solemnly, "Where did you hide her?"

Wuzhan also stopped and said calmly, "The Holy Mother thinks too highly of me. I am just repaying her a favor. As for where she hides, that is up to her own ability."

Xiao Yuzhen approached Wuzhan, staring at him with a cold face, and suddenly grabbed Wuzhan's throat, saying coldly: "If the magic spell was not in your hands, I would have let you die from the poison long ago, how could I have kept you until now!"

Wuzhan was not afraid at all: "Of course I know that, so I need to cherish the time I have left before the Virgin Mary poisons me to death."

Xiao Yuzhen increased the strength in her hands and lifted Wuzhan up, "I am impatient now. There is no need to go back to Cangshan. I order you to recite the spell now!"

Wuzhan's throat was almost crushed by Xiao Yuzhen. He clenched his teeth, his face turned purple and blue, his head was dizzy, and he couldn't utter a word. Xiao Yuzhen snorted coldly, "With your body, you'd better think about how many days you can live. Tell me quickly!" He pushed Wuzhan out and threw him to the ground.

Wuzhan sat on the ground, coughed a few times, regained his composure, and said calmly: "I will never hand over the spell until I reach Cangshan. Just as the Holy Mother said, it doesn't matter if I live one day more or one day less. If the Holy Mother is impatient, it doesn't matter if she kills me."

Seeing that Wuzhan was neither humble nor arrogant, Xiao Yuzhen was very angry. She wanted to threaten him with poison, but she was afraid that Wuzhan could not bear it. What's more, Wuzhan was the kind of person who would not be persuaded by soft or hard tactics. He would never say anything even if he was poisoned. She stared at Wuzhan for a long time with cold eyes, "Do you care so much about that little bitch?"

Wuzhan said: "I just don't want to see her die in your hands, it's not that I don't care?"

"How do you know I want to kill her?"

"Even if we don't kill her, it's no different from death. Didn't the Virgin Mary say that she will never let her go?"

Xiao Yuzhen said in a deep voice: "You are right. I just want that bitch to know that her daughter is in my hands and is being tortured by me. No matter where she hides incognito, she must come out and kneel before me!"

Wuzhan asked, "Does torturing people make you happy?"

Xiao Yuzhen giggled and said, "If I let you torture Qingyang and see him begging for mercy, you would also like this kind of pleasure!"

A tree in the jungle shook slightly, and Xiao Yuzhen noticed it immediately, "Come out to me!" She threw a dart as fast as lightning, flying in that direction.
