GBP Chapter 504 Bloody Eve
Chapter 504 Bloody Eve
The night was as dark as ink, covering the sect heavily, like a layer of ominous haze. The mountain wind whistled past, bringing with it a hint of chill, rustling the forest, as if playing a sad song before the war.
Yun Yao was dressed in white clothes, as white as snow, and she was moving lightly through the back mountain of the sect, holding tightly in her hand the top-level array plate awarded by the system. The moonlight shone on her, outlining a cold and resolute figure, like a fairy descending from the earth, but at this moment she was carrying a bit of resolute murderous aura. She knew very well that tomorrow was the day when the Blood Demon Sect would attack, and every bit of preparation was related to the life and death of thousands of people in the sect.
This back mountain is usually quiet and peaceful, and is where the sect disciples cultivate their minds. But now it has become a key place for Yun Yao to deploy defenses. She chose a valley with dangerous terrain and concentrated spiritual power, and began to carefully arrange the "Phantom Spirit Trace Array" according to the array knowledge taught by the system. The array plate flickered in her hand, and every time she injected spiritual power, it caused ripples in the surrounding spiritual energy, as if a sleeping giant beast was slowly awakened.
As the array patterns lit up one by one, the light gradually intertwined into complex and mysterious patterns, hidden among the rocks and plants. Yun Yao's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Setting up the array was extremely mentally demanding. Not only did it require precise control of the flow and intensity of spiritual power, but it also had to be perfectly matched with the surrounding environment. If there was a slight mistake, the power of the entire array would be greatly reduced.
Just as she was concentrating, the top-level array rewarded by the system suddenly vibrated violently, emitting a low humming sound, followed by a bright light. The dazzling light even made Yun Yao squint her eyes briefly. This sudden change startled her heart, and before she could think too much, a majestic and ancient breath came to her face, as if it came from the beginning of the universe, revealing endless vicissitudes and mystery.
Chu Mochen arrived at this time. He was seriously injured, his clothes were torn and bloodstained, and he had obviously just experienced a fierce battle. But even in such a miserable state, he still exuded a cold and arrogant aura, his eyes were like torches, staring closely at the shining array in Yun Yao's hand. When the mysterious aura came to his face, his body was shocked, and a look of shock and realization appeared on his face.
“Yun Yao, this aura…” Chu Mochen took a few steps to Yun Yao’s side, his eyes fixed on the formation plate, his tone filled with disbelief, “I have read a few words about the ‘Hongmeng Formation Dao’ in ancient books. Legend has it that this is the supreme formation that existed when the world was first created. It contains the laws of operation of all things in the universe, and can control time and space, spiritual power, and even the fate of all living things. However, this kind of heaven-defying formation has been lost for tens of thousands of years. How could your formation plate…”
Yun Yao was also full of doubts. She looked down at the array plate in her hand. The light became more and more dazzling, as if responding to Chu Mochen's words. On the array plate, ancient runes were looming. Each rune was like a small world containing endless mysteries, emitting a heart-shaking pressure. She gently stroked the array plate, trying to communicate with this mysterious object. In an instant, a stream of information flowed into her mind, which was the incomplete memory of this "Hongmeng Array Dao".
"It seems that the array plate given by this system is far from ordinary." Yun Yao frowned slightly, and a hint of thought flashed in her eyes. "Perhaps, it is inextricably linked to my time travel. When I was setting up this 'Phantom Spirit Trace Array', I vaguely felt that there was a force guiding me, making me subconsciously set up the array in a way I had never touched before. Now that I think about it, it should be this array plate that awakened the instinct of 'Hongmeng Array Dao' hidden in my body."
Chu Mochen nodded slightly, and looked at Yun Yao with deep eyes, becoming more and more curious about her origins. This woman from another world seemed to have endless secrets. She could show amazing abilities and methods in every crisis, subverting his understanding of the common sense of the world again and again.
"No matter what, if we can use this 'Hongmeng Formation', we will have a better chance of winning tomorrow's battle." Chu Mochen clenched the long sword in his hand, and the sword body hummed, as if responding to his determination, "The Blood Demon Sect has come out in full force this time, and they must be well prepared. We must take advantage of every advantage."
Yun Yao looked up at the night sky. The stars were dim, as if they were also hiding their light for the upcoming bloody battle. She took a deep breath and cleared all the distracting thoughts in her mind. The situation was critical and she did not have too much time to explore the origin of this mysterious formation. The most urgent task was to maximize its power and protect the sect.
"I'll try again to see if I can further activate the power of this array and perfect this 'Phantom Spirit Trace Array'." Yun Yao said, and then closed her eyes and concentrated again, slowly injecting all her spiritual power into the array. The array disk glowed, the runes flickered, and it echoed with the surrounding array light, gradually forming a huge spiritual power vortex.
The spiritual power in the valley became more and more violent. The wind howled like ghosts and wolves, the rocks trembled, and the trees swayed, as if the end of the world had come. Yun Yao's white clothes fluttered in the wind. She was as steady as a mountain, with a stern face, immersed in deep communication with the array. Every flow of spiritual power and every activation of a rune was like weaving an invisible net, a deadly net that could trap or even strangle the enemy.
Chu Mochen was guarding the side. He looked around vigilantly, holding a long sword across his chest to prevent any uninvited guests from taking advantage of the situation. Seeing Yun Yao's focused look, he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart. This woman, from the unfavored princess at the beginning, has grown up step by step to the present. She has gone through hardships but never given up. Her tenacity, intelligence and courage are like bright stars, which deeply attracted him and made him willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with her and go through life and death together.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Yao suddenly opened her eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. The light of the "Phantom Spirit Trace Array" was restrained, turning into a layer of almost transparent light curtain, hidden in the valley. If you don't perceive it carefully, you can't detect its existence at all. But Chu Mochen could clearly feel that this seemingly peaceful valley was now hiding murderous intent. Once someone stepped into it, they would be trapped in endless mazes and killing arrays.
"It's done." Yun Yao let out a long sigh, a tired but relieved smile on her face, "This 'Phantom Spirit Trace Formation' has incorporated some of the power of the 'Hongmeng Formation Dao'. When the Blood Demon Sect attacks tomorrow, even if we can't wipe them out completely, we will definitely be able to destroy most of them."
Chu Mochen stepped forward and gently held Yun Yao's hand. The warmth of his palm dispelled the coldness of her fingertips. He looked at her gently and firmly, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Yun Yao. With the help of this formation, and the unity of the sect, we will definitely be able to protect this piece of pure land."
Yun Yao nodded slightly and held Chu Mochen's hand. The two looked at each other. No need to say more, the trust and affection in each other's eyes were beyond words. On this bloody eve, they stood side by side. Although they knew the road ahead was difficult, they did not retreat. They were only willing to use their flesh and blood to protect the sect and keep this peace.
The wind was still raging in the mountains, as if cheering for the upcoming battle. After a short rest, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen would plunge into intense preparations for the battle, waiting for the dawn to break and welcome the baptism of blood and fire.
