Chapter 816: Capturing the Container!?

y, and he tried with all his might, but found that he couldn't break free from Fang Yu's left hand.This kid looks so thin, how come he's so strongA flash of surprise crossed Huang Xiaolong's eyes, and..."Ground emanates white air" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, looking at the ground beneath his feet.

"Well, they described it as... like steam, rising from the ground," Zhao Ji said.

Fang Yu fell silent, his eyes lost in thought.

Under the observatory, there was a strange formation. White mist rose from the ground...

This phenomenon is clearly abnormal.

But if it were said that the observatory was built to conceal terrestrial anomalies, it wouldn't quite make sense.

Because the peak of Qīngyún Mountain has always been a remote and unfrequented place.

The fact that the Halflings wanted to build an observatory here feels a bit like they're trying to hide something.

Dao Kong, that old man, may not be very intelligent, but he is not so foolish.

After some thought, there was no result.

At this moment, Fang Yu's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration.

There were thirty-seven locations requested to build observatories. Could it be...

Fang Yu's eyes returned to normal. From the storage space of the Kongling Ring, he took out a map of the entire region.

According to the information provided by Huixu, Fangyu marked all thirty-seven locations with astronomical observatories on the map.

Then, connect the dots.

Soon, an extremely square pattern appeared before one's eyes.

Thirty-seven locations, forming a perfect square on the perimeter!

...and all the locations inside are connected to each other...

It's exactly the same as the underground formation that Fang Yu just saw with his Insightful Eye!

Fang Yu widened his eyes and activated his Insight Eye once again, looking down at the ground beneath him.

Then, look at the markers connected by lines on the map.

Exactly the same! Even the complex connections inside are identical!

This shocked Fang Yu immensely!

Beneath the ground of every location, there is likely a similar formation.

That is to say, every small formation at each location, when connected together, becomes a gigantic formation encompassing the entire territory of China!

The purpose of this formation is currently unknown.

But the range of this enormous formation... as far as Fang Yu's knowledge goes, there has never been one like it throughout history.

You need to know that setting up each formation requires a certain amount of spiritual energy to activate it.

A formation with such an enormous range, capable of draining all the spiritual energy from heaven and earth, might not even be able to activate!

and in fact, there's no way to drain all the spiritual energy from the world.

"Unless my understanding is completely wrong, this isn't a formation at all. But if it's not a formation, then what is it And it does cover most of the territory of China." Fang Yu stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Zhao Jidao stood aside, watching Fang Yu's contemplative expression. Though full of questions, he didn't dare to interrupt.

……

Huaibei South Capital, northern villa district.

Behind the Zhao family mansion, there was a small hill.

At the top of Xiaoshan, there are only some small trees.

At that moment, the previously empty mountain peak suddenly showed several black shadows.

A black shadow, three or four meters high, appeared first.

It was the very demon who had crossed swords with Fang Yu in the Wasteland!

Immediately following, four more figures materialized behind the Heavenly Demon.

These four people wore gray robes, with a demon pattern on their foreheads.

"My Lord Demon, the container...is inside that house down below." A man in gray robes spoke.

"Well, take her down there." The Heavenly Demon said.

The next second, the figures of the five people once again transformed into black mist and vanished from sight.

……

"That's about it, I need to get to the next place." Fang Yu pondered for a moment on the spot and decided to go take a look at the observatories in other regions.

"Um... Lord Fang, this one's granddaughter Zhao Zi Nan, I wonder if you still remember her" Zhao Ji Dao quickly spoke when he saw Fang Yu about to leave.

"Hmm What's wrong" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, asked.

Of course, he wouldn't forget Zhao Zi Nan, that peculiar girl with an odd physique.

"She often mentioned to me that she wanted to meet you..." Zhao Ji said, observing Fang Yu's reaction.

Fang Yu frowned slightly and said, "Next time, I'm a bit busy now."

"I understand! When I get back, I'll tell her." Zhao Ji said immediately.

"Hmm."

Fang Yu nodded and activated the Kongling Ring, preparing to leave.

At this moment, Zhao Jidao's phone vibrated.

Zhao Jidao answered the phone, listened to two sentences, and his face changed drastically.

"What!” Zhao Ji exclaimed, watching Fang Yu who was about to leave before him. "Master Fang, please wait..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Yu's figure vanished from sight.

Zhao Jidao's face was pale, and his hand holding the phone trembled violently.

He had just received a phone call when members of the Cult of Demons arrived at their home, killing dozens of guards and trying to capture Zhao Zinan.

If Fang Yu stays, there might be a chance to turn things around.

Now, Fang Yu is gone...

Just when Zhao Ji's heart was in turmoil and he didn't know what to do, another beam of light suddenly appeared before him.

"What's wrong" Fang Yu looked at Zhao Ji in front of him and asked impatiently.

Zhao Jidao was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. He said, "Oh no, the members of the Demon Sect have found us! They want to take Zinan away!"

"A demon cult" Fang Yu's brow furrowed, remembering the Heavenly Demon he had encountered while fleeing in the ruins.

……

Inside the Zhao family's gate, there were more than a dozen corpses lying upside down, their death scenes gruesome. Most of the bodies were torn apart by brute force.

The metallic scent of blood hung heavy in the air above Zhao's house.

At this time, in the hall.

"I'll give you ten more seconds. If you don't hand over Zhao Zinan, I will sacrifice one person every second that passes." A grey-robed man stood before the Heavenly Demon and spoke.

The core members of the Zhao family were all kneeling on the floor of the hall, their faces pale and trembling.

At the mere sight of the Heavenly Demon's appearance, they were terrified out of their wits.

In this world, there really exist demons such as monsters!

"Ten, nine, eight..." the grey-robed man began to count down.

Many people present were watching the guards die tragically. At this moment, they were terrified, **ting and pissing themselves, crying uncontrollably.

Zhao Xuan also knelt on the ground, his body trembling, his fists clenched tight.

A middle-aged man beside him reached out and nudged his shoulder.

Zhao Xuan glanced at the man. It was his uncle, Zhao Shiqiao.

Zhao Shiqiao's eyes were bloodshot, and he trembled as he said, "Xiao Xuan, I don't want to die. None of us want to die!"

At the sound of these words, Zhao Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

Zhao Zi Nan, was hidden by him.

He ordered Zhao Zinan not to go downstairs no matter what sound he heard.

But now, it is a matter of life and death.

These monsters before us are beyond the capabilities of ordinary warriors to withstand.

Even the bodyguards of the Martial Saint realm were slapped into meat paste by that massive demon…

If Zhao Zinan is not handed over... everyone present will inevitably die.

But Zhao Xuan couldn't!

He can't give Zhao Zinan to this group of monsters!

"Three, two…" The gray-robed man continued to count down impassively.

"I know where she is! She's upstairs! She's upstairs!" Zhao Shiqiao suddenly raised his head and roared, regardless of everything.

"One," the robed man continued his count, extending his hand towards Zhao Shiqiao.

"Whoosh!"

Zhao Shiqiao immediately flew toward the gray-robed man.

"I've told you where she is, please don't kill me! Don't kill me!" Zhao Shiqiao struggled desperately, crying out.

"I want her to appear willingly, not have us search for her." The robed man said coldly.

He grasped Zhao Shiqiao's head in his hand and squeezed it with all his might.

"Bang!"

Zhao Shiqiao's head exploded like a watermelon, spraying red and white in all directions.

The gray-robed man let go, and Zhao Shiqiao's stiff body collapsed to the ground.

And when Zhao family members saw this scene, several of them fainted directly.

Many more people let out screams of terror.

"Zinan, come down quickly! We don't want to die!" Some members of the Zhao family could no longer bear it and shouted out.

"One second has passed," the robed man swept his gaze over the crowd, searching for his next victim.

Soon, he noticed Zhao Xuan who had been keeping his head down the whole time, and reached out his hand.

"Whoosh!"

Zhao Xuan only felt a huge force coming at him, his body flying uncontrollably towards the man in gray robes.

"Xuan'er!"

Behind Zhao Xuan's parents, screams were heard.

"Don't kill my brother!"

At that moment, a scream echoed from the staircase behind.

The grey robed man raised his eyes and saw a girl appear at the foot of the stairs.

The girl's face was pure and beautiful, but there was no color in her cheeks at this time.

She looked at Zhao Xuan, who was bound in front of the gray robed man, unable to move, her eyes filled with fear.

"Lord Heavenly Demon, this is the container," the man in gray robes said as he turned.

"I know." The Heavenly Demon extended his right hand and pointed at Zhao Zinan.

"Whoosh!"

The giant right hand of the Heavenly Demon flashed with a burst of light.

At the same time, Zhao ZiNan's whole body also emitted a faint glow and floated up.

"I... I'm willing to leave with you, as long as you let my brother go." Zhao Zinan slowly flew towards the Heavenly Demon, pleadingly.

"I'm sorry, our pleasure is killing people," the robed man said with a cold smile.

Just as the robed man was about to make his move, a figure suddenly flashed before him.

"Your pleasure is in killing, and mine is in killing you." Fang Yu grinned at the gray-robed man before him.of divine power.Now, his body is filled with murderous aura, like an ancient ferocious spirit!"Bang bang bang..."The God of the Sea is still charging towards Fang Yu, his momentum swift and fierce, th...
