The sudden turn of reality made Mu Jianyun's nerves tense for a moment, and the moment he realized the dangerous situation, he reflexively made defensive moves, but he quickly sensed that something was wrong.

"No, no...... the 'Seven Star Soul Bundle Array' is extremely domineering, once ordinary humans enter by mistake, their souls will be withdrawn in an instant, even if we are cultivated people, it is impossible to stand here and talk casually like this...... Mu Jianyun put away his defensive posture and turned his head to look at Jiang Yao suspiciously. "If this place is really in the 'Seven Stars Soul Bundle Array', then why haven't we been affected?"

"Why...... I think on the one hand, this array may have been partially destroyed, otherwise there wouldn't be so much miasma leaking out, and on the other hand, perhaps...... It is also because of the protection of the "power of Zhurong" on my body. Jiang Yao looked at Mu Jianyun and said. "When I first entered the cave, Qing Yu and I both felt a pull on the soul, but it was only with the appearance of the 'Power of Zhurong' inscription on my body that I was quickly fine...... When you entered the cave, you must have felt like your soul was being pulled, right?"

"......" Mu Jianyun was speechless, obviously being right, but he quickly thought of another question. "Even if it's like you said, why are those villagers able to enter here and come and go freely in the 'Seven Star Soul Binding Array'? ”

"Hmm...... According to what you said earlier, soulful beings entering this formation without protection are bound to be affected, and if those villagers are not affected by this, there are only two possibilities left. Jiang Yao analyzed. "One is that they have gained some kind of power to protect their souls from being affected, and the other is ...... It's that their souls have been swept up in the 'Seven Stars Soul Bundle Array'......"

"What do you mean...... The villagers we saw were actually 'soulless' people?" Mu Jianyun said in surprise. "W-How is this possible...... Soulless creatures are like walking corpses, and they can't survive at all!"

"I'm not sure either, it's just my speculation...... But it is also true that they do not have 'popularity' in them, and this alone cannot compare them to ordinary humans. Jiang Yao shook his head and looked at the pattern on the base of the stone statue in front of him again.

"But now is not the time to argue about this, now the fact is that those villagers have taken many undead coffins from this 'Seven Star Soul Binding Array', and the 'Seven Star Auxiliary Array' has been destroyed, so there is so much miasma emitted. Although the state of the main array is not visible at the moment, since the corpse demon has not come out of the mountain, it means that the 'Seven Star Soul Bundle Array' is still operating, as long as it is repaired in time, it should not be a catastrophe......

"Do you want to fix the Seven Stars Soul Array...... This is not something that a few of us can do, we must go out as soon as possible and find the leader to discuss countermeasures!" Mu Jianyun said. "It's just that from this map, this area doesn't seem to have any entrances and exits, so is the exit somewhere else?"

"No, the exit should be around here, remember the monster we killed in the corridor earlier?" Jiang Yao said. "The monster is from behind the stone wall of the road...... That is, it came out of this cave, and the coffin in this cave could not have been stimulated by the 'popularity' before we came in, so this monster could only be transported outside by the villagers before and woke up, and then entered here again, and it can be speculated that the entrance it entered should be in this cave. ”

Jiang Yao said, raised his head and glanced around, the dense grotto came into view gloomily, and there seemed to be no obvious exit at a glance, and when he retracted his gaze and his eyes touched the Chiyou statue in front of him again, the restlessness and uneasiness in the depths of his soul began to rise like weeds again, and even the ocean of energy in his body gradually made waves under the impetus of this restlessness.

Jiang Yao hurriedly looked away, he subconsciously reached out and pressed the faintly painful black mark on his collarbone, and felt his heartbeat begin to accelerate slowly.

…… I'm ...... What's wrong?

"Hmm, why is your face so bad all of a sudden?" Mu Jianyun on the side obviously also noticed that Jiang Yao's state was wrong.

"I ...... I'm fine, let's make peace with Qingyu first. Jiang Yao shook his head. "This cave is so big, I don't think it will be able to find it in a while...... What's more, there are coffins containing monsters in the caves all around, and if one accidentally inspires them, the consequences will be unimaginable......"

Jiang Yao took a deep breath and was about to turn around and walk back, but before he took two steps, the ground under the feet of the two suddenly shook without warning, and before he could react, he found that the scene in front of him was strangely distorted for a moment, accompanied by a roar in his ears, at that moment, Jiang Yao's world was spinning.

"What's wrong with you?!" Seeing Jiang Yao suddenly fall to his knees with a pale face, Mu Jianyun hurriedly stepped forward to support the other party, but saw Jiang Yao bowing his head in pain, reaching out to grab the right collarbone, trembling all over.

It hurts!...... How could it be ...... all of a sudden?!

Jiang Yao gasped, and in his blurred vision, he saw the figure reflected in the pond under his feet, the black 'death mark' was flashing ominously black light on his collarbone.

"Jiang Yao...... Jiang Yao, are you alright?!"

Mu Jianyun helped Jiang Yao and shouted anxiously, but to Jiang Yao's ears, the voice that was obviously close at hand seemed so ethereal and distant, because at this moment, there was only one voice in his ears, the roar that had appeared at one time, bursting out from the depths of his soul like a spell, constantly pulling his consciousness and gradually swallowing up his remaining reason.

[Finally...... Found ......]

Who!?

【…… Originally...... Dropped here......]

Is...... This voice ......!

[It's time...... It's time to come back!]

Not......!!

Jiang Yao raised his head suddenly, the expression on his face disappeared in that moment, only to see him shake off Mu Jianyun's hand, slowly get up from the ground, turn around with a blank look in his eyes, and walk step by step towards the Chiyou stone statue in front of him from the rubble that kept shaking in all directions.

"W-What the hell is going on? Is the demonic power in the body out of control?"

Seeing Jiang Yao's sudden change in temperament, Mu Jianyun was a little overwhelmed for a while, and Jiang Yao seemed to completely ignore Mu Jianyun's shout, and in the faint light of the 'death mark' on his collarbone, he slowly stretched out his hand and put it on the stone platform at the base of the stone statue.

[Above Jiuli, the soul returns to the ......]

"Above Jiuli, the soul of the dead returns to ......"

The voice in the depths of his soul sounded like a spell in his ears, and Jiang Yao's last consciousness was completely disconnected in this spell, and at this time, he was like a puppet at the mercy of others, repeating the spell mechanically.

【…… With the divine power of Zhu Rong, break the shackles of the Yellow Spring, gather the remnants of our generation, and reverse the Amaterasu of the Seven Stars......]

“…… With the divine power of Zhurong, break the shackles of the Yellow Spring, gather the remnants of our generations, and reverse the Amaterasu of the Seven Stars......"

Jiang Yao unconsciously followed the voice in his soul and muttered to himself, and as the spell progressed, the red inscription given by Zhu Rong between his eyebrows began to slowly light up, and a scorching breath spread rapidly along the cold qi in his body, and in just an instant, Jiang Yao's body was as hot as fire, and even the surrounding air was constantly twisting and fluctuating in his explosive energy.

"It's not good...... "Mu Jianyun looked at the thick miasma of the Dao that rose from the cracks in the ground, and suddenly felt in danger, and what was even worse was that Jiang Yao's state seemed to be completely out of control, if he released the 'power of Zhu Rong' here, then everyone who lost their protection would instantly fall into a miasma siege, and there would be only one way to die.

"Jiang Yao, you are sober!!" Mu Jianyun shouted, trying to step forward to stop Jiang Yao, but was forced back several steps by the scorching aura around Jiang Yao.

【…… The divine fire burns, the spirit fades, the return comes, and the soul and spirit are united ......]

“…… The fire of the gods burns, the spirits fade away, the return comes and goes, and the soul and spirit are one......"

Jiang Yao was still expressionless, and as the vibration under his feet became more violent, his eyes gradually filled with a layer of blood mist, and the ocean of energy in his body seemed to be stimulated, and began to surge more and more.

"Oh no, if it goes on like this......" Mu Jianyun was anxious, and at this time, he suddenly remembered Qing Yu and Zhou Wentao who were still at the stone gate, and turned his head to look, but found that Qing Yu was running towards him with the assistance of 'Liuying', helping Zhou Wentao with difficulty.

"Why are you here?It's dangerous here!Get out!!" Mu Jianyun hurriedly stepped forward and shouted to Qing Yu.

"It's too late! those monsters...... All wake up!!" Qing Yu said and raised his hand to point to the stone gate, only to see that the grottoes near the stone gate were shattered under the vibration, and without the restraint of the "Evil Array" in the grotto, many green wood coffins had begun to move, not only that, but they also heard a faint roar behind the stone gate, as if there were monsters breaking out of the coffin in the long road of the cave outside.

"Damn ——!" Seeing that the situation was critical, Mu Jianyun couldn't care so much, I saw him bite his teeth, pull out the blue long sword on his body again, and try to kill a bloody path, but the disaster is not alone, at this time, another deafening roar came from behind the stone gate, and with the stone gate shattering, a huge monster figure appeared in front of everyone.

The dark and slender body, the hideous and ferocious appearance, it was obvious that this was the demonic troll that crawled out of the hanging coffin in the Magatama tomb and attacked everyone.

"It's that monster again! Why is it ...... at this time" Mu Jianyun immediately recognized it, but he soon found that there seemed to be a dazzling scorch mark on the other party's body at this time, and his momentum was much weaker than before, but even so, everyone's situation at the moment did not improve in the slightest, with the roars in the surrounding caves one after another, the ground under everyone's feet also cracked in the vibration, and it seemed that something was struggling below, ready to move.

Should it be the main array of the Seven Stars Soul Bundle Array...... Loose?!

Mu Jianyun looked at the shaking ground under his feet, and suddenly his spine was cold.

As long as the 'Array Eye' is not destroyed, it is impossible for the 'Seven Star Soul Bundle Array' to collapse...... Wait, 'Array Eye'?!

Mu Jianyun suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the stone statue base, the 'demon text' that shone with a strange luster.

「…… Our clan voluntarily sacrifices the soul of the whole clan, using the body of the patriarch as the 'eye' to calm the situation, and the body of the whole clan as the 'auxiliary' array, and using the power of the seven stars to seal the corpse demon in exchange for the peace of the world......

Take the patriarch's body as the "eye"!!

"Whoa——!!

There was a piercing roar from the stone gate again, and Mu Jianyun stiffened his head, looking at the giant monster that was far larger than other monsters, and his mind once again remembered the scene he had seen in the mural earlier.

Patriarch...... Troll...... I see...... It turned out that the Magatama area was not a tomb at all, but the eye of this 'Seven Star Soul Array'! Now that the eye of the array has been destroyed, that is to say...... This 'Seven Star Soul Bundle Array' is actually on the verge of collapse?

"Whoa......

A huge popping sound suddenly sounded from behind him, and Mu Jianyun, who had come back to his senses, hurriedly turned around to look, but saw an extremely deep opening spread rapidly from the bottom of the Chiyou stone statue along the position where Jiang Yao's palm touched, and Jiang Yao's whispering also stopped abruptly, and at the same time, a red and dark purple light began to burst out from him.

“…… Stop!If you release your power now, this magic circle will ......!!" Mu Jianyun instantly realized that something was wrong, and he roared and flew towards Jiang Yao, but it was too late......

“…… Zhu Rong...... Recruit!"

"Boom!!"

As Jiang Yao's words fell, a huge red fire dragon mixed with dark purple lightning shot up from his body to the sky, and the flames that erupted instantly engulfed the desperate crowd, the roaring monster, and the collapsed Chiyou stone statue...... Burn everything in the cave to the ground.
