Qin Lingyun arrived at Xuandu City as a passing guest, she needed to immediately pass through the transmission array to reach Feihu City, on the way asking clearly about the location of the transmission array, Qin Lingyun took a step without stopping towards the transmission array.

  The transmission array was located in the northern part of Xuan Du City, inside a grand hall, and was guarded by special personnel from the Tian Huang Sword Sect. Before arriving at the transmission hall, Qin Lingyun saw cultivators walking back and forth, many with looks of depression and confusion on their faces.

  "Could it be that something has gone wrong with the transmission array?" Qin Lingyun's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  "Don't worry, Motoki's spiritual concealment technique is very powerful. Ordinary cultivators can't see through your disguise." Xingdi continued, "However, to be on the safe side, let's ask first before saying anything."

  Qin Lingyun stopped in her tracks, her eyes scanning the cultivators before quickly focusing on a middle-aged female cultivator. The woman's face was calm and gentle, not seeming to be of a violent temperament, and she was also at the 8th layer of Qi Refining cultivation, just like Qin Lingyun. Qin Lingyun walked up to her and bowed slightly, saying "Excuse me, fellow Daoist, but did something happen ahead?"

  The middle-aged woman stopped in her tracks, her eyes scanning Qin Lingyun's body before speaking up, "Indeed, something has happened. The transmission array has been destroyed."

  Qin Lingyun was shocked and asked, "The transmission array is guarded by the Tian Huang Sword Sect's special personnel. Who dares to destroy it?"

  The middle-aged woman's mouth curled up with a hint of cold smile. "Human cultivators naturally wouldn't dare to destroy the transmission array, but it seems that the transmission array isn't something that humans can destroy."

  Qin Ling's jade-like hands covered her mouth, and her eyes were filled with uncertainty as she slowly said, "It can't be a human, could it be the work of a demon beast?"

  "Whether the middle-aged man is a monster or not, in any case, the teleportation array has been destroyed."

  "Could it be that the Tian Huang Sword Sect was the one who destroyed the transmission array?"

  "It can't be, it's said that the Jade Sword Ancestor of the Tian Huang Sword Sect had just left the transmission array, and even he didn't see the reason behind it."

  The middle-aged nun sighed and bid farewell, hurrying away, while Qin Lingyun stood still, not continuing on her way.

  "It's not a sealed transmission array, let's take a look, perhaps I can see the reason." Xingdi said slowly.

  Yu Jian Zushi is a Jindan cultivator of the Tian Huang Sword Sect, and even he can't understand the reason behind it. No wonder these cultivators left in a hurry, they naturally couldn't see the reason either.

  However, Qin Lingyun thought of an old antique star emperor by her side, and perhaps he could really find the reason.

  Clutching onto a glimmer of hope, Qin Lingyun rushed towards the direction of the grand hall.

  After walking for a while, a majestic and elegant grand hall stood in front of me. The entire hall was dominated by a light yellow tone, giving people a sense of luxury and grandeur.

  Stepping on the white jade steps, Qin Lingyun walked into the grand hall step by step. At the entrance, two monks wearing yellow robes did not block Qin Lingyun, and at the same time, some monks also entered the grand hall with Qin Lingyun.

  In the grand hall, there were many monks standing in twos and threes, their eyes all fixed on the half-zhang-high transmission array in the center.

  The transmission array was dim and lightless, and the six bases that resembled snake heads in all directions had lost their luster.

  "What's the use of those six pedestals?" Qin Lingyun transmitted her voice to Xingdi.

  The Star Emperor's figure slowly flew towards the transmission array, and he slowly said that the six bases are the core of the transmission array. The snake mouth on top can hold a low-grade spirit stone, and each time six spirit stones are transmitted." The Star Emperor seemed to have quite in-depth research on the transmission array.

  At this time, the nearby monks were already pointing and discussing.

  "It's strange to say, but this transmission array is broken without any warning signs."

  "Could there be any omen? Actually, the transmission array has malfunctioned before, but this time it's extremely bizarre."

  "Even Lian Yu Jian's ancestors couldn't see through it, and in a short time, I'm afraid you won't be able to cultivate it properly."

  "This is really bad luck, there's still a deal waiting for me in Flying Tiger City, it can't be delayed any longer."

  “……”

  There were all sorts of comments, Qin Lingyun listened to some of them, but didn't hear many valuable remarks.

  Xingdi floated above the transmission array, his hands clasped behind his back, a cold glint slowly seeping into his eyes, and a hint of a cold smile spreading from the corners of his mouth, as if he had seen through something.

  Can Qin Lingyun see the reason why she can't jump out of the transmission array? She had never learned about the direction of the transmission array, so she knew very little about it. When she saw the transmission array with its crisscrossing patterns, it looked like a messy ball of yarn, and she couldn't make anything out.

  Xingdi circled around the transmission array and returned to Qin Lingyun's side, his face already filled with a hint of fear.

  Xing Di was gone, but Qin Lingyun couldn't help feeling anxious. She asked hastily, "What happened? Why?"

  "After a while, Xingdi solemnly said: 'This time it's all my fault, I let you fall into danger, not just you, even I myself am in great danger.'"

  "The Emperor continued, 'The transmission array has been disrupted and cannot be used.'"

  Qin Lingyun was somewhat bewildered and disrupted the formation?

  The entire Xuan Du City was covered with a long-lost, massive demonic formation called the Black Fiendish Soul Locking Formation. This formation could only be set up by at least a Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator."

  "The Hei Sha Di Yin Suo Hun Zhen has locked down the entire Xuan Du City, heaven and earth. Tonight at midnight, the formation will be officially activated, and the entire Xuan Du City will become a ghost domain of the underworld. All living spirits will die."

  Qin Lingyun's face was shocked to the extreme. Is it beneficial for a Yuan Ying period demonic cultivator to do this? Does he want to become the public enemy of the entire Tian Xuan realm?

  Turning a city of cultivators into a ghost domain, this method is too terrifying. Qin Lingyun had never thought that such a thing would happen. With at least 400,000 to 500,000 cultivators in Xuandu City, plus a Golden Dan cultivator, could it be that all these cultivators would die under one formation?

  Xing Di sneered and said in front of Yuan Ying, the cultivators and ordinary mortals inside this city are no different, they are all just ants. The demon path set up such a destructive array, I estimate there is only one reason, which is to use the cultivators' living souls to refine the treasure, the entire Black Fiend Abyss Soul Locking Array is a huge refining array, it will slowly refine all living beings into the dark souls within the treasure.

  Qin Lingyun was stunned, staring at the cultivators around her. She suddenly had an urge to tell all of this to other cultivators, but thinking about their selfish nature and having no concrete evidence, she realized that no one would believe her.

  Qin Lingyun murmured, "What should we do next? Is it still possible to leave Xuan Du City now?"

  She had hoped for a positive response, but seeing the hint of reluctance in Xingdi's eyes, she realized she was overestimating things and would probably not be able to leave Xuandu City now.

  Qin Lingyun made an effort to calm down, in fact, her heart was also getting colder and colder, the cruel reality in front of her was like a heavy hammer hitting her brain, making her even calmer.

  "What a huge pen, it turns out that in the eyes of the Yuan Yuanyu demonic cultivators, we cultivators are just sheep to be raised and slaughtered in large numbers when needed to feed them. The cruelty of the immortal world is many times more than I had imagined. Strength can decide everything, and only by having strength like mine can one escape this situation of being treated as human livestock."

  Qin Lingyun couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness in her heart, as these low-level cultivators struggled to cultivate and survive, one by one, like carp jumping towards the treacherous Dragon Gate, hoping to leap over it and become a true dragon someday.

  Qin Lingyun gazed into Xingdi's eyes, without flinching at all. The more the crisis approached, the calmer her heart became, like still water.

  "Xīng Dì, nándào zhēn de méi yǒu shēng jī le ma? Bù tiào zì."

  Translation: "Star Emperor, is there really no chance of survival? Don't give up."

  Qin Lingyun did not hold out hope, but Xingdi countered with a resolute tone that there was still a glimmer of life, but only a thread of life.

  "It must be a demonic cultivator who set up this Extinction Array outside the city of Xuantu. If it were a sect, they wouldn't dare to do such a thing, as it would provoke public outrage. Today, they're sacrificing the entire city of Xuantu; tomorrow, other cultivators might sacrifice the city protected by their own sect. But demonic cultivators don't have so many concerns."

  "However, even so, this loose cultivator should have a request to use something big, so he didn't care about setting up a large array to refine the treasure, which would definitely bring him great benefits, far outweighing the drawbacks, and he would be fearless."

  Qin Lingyun sighed and said, "Alright, where is that Lin Shengji?"

  "When the Emperor's Way is at its darkest, it often gives birth to extreme brightness. At the most critical moment, there remains a thread of life. When the Midnight Array is activated today, the transmission array and the external barrier will be restored for just an instant. You must seize this opportunity and immediately activate the array to transmit out."

  Qin Lingyun silently walked up to the teleportation array, her white jade-like palm pressing against the edge of the stone. Was there anything that needed to be prepared beforehand?

  "Before you leave, put six inferior spirit stones into the snake's mouth. Sit cross-legged in the center of the formation and don't move. Once I give the order, immediately input your spiritual energy into the formation. This way, the chance of being successfully transported away is at least 30% to 40%." Star Emperor said slowly.

  Qin Lingyun said, "Since it's like this, I won't leave the transmission hall. I'll just wait here."

  Xingdi Dao thought it was good this way. After a while, the strange phenomenon would appear and the entire Xuantu City would be in chaos. Staying in the transmission array hall was indeed safer.

  Qin Lingyun nodded, found a corner in the main hall, put down a futon, sat cross-legged, and then closed her eyes, no longer casting her gaze at the crowd of monks coming and going in the main hall.

  Step by step, the entire Xuan Du City suddenly lit up with a strange and eerie blood light. The blood light seemed to come from nowhere, but quickly spread to every corner of Xuan Du City. At first, some monks were unprepared and were enveloped by the blood light, immediately letting out a mournful cry. Their entire body quickly rotted into a white skeleton.
