Chapter 290 Collision II
Deep in the Jade Sea.
Huge black shadows swam around in the sea, surrounding a disc-shaped stone formation at the center.
This array disc is surrounded by ancient stone pillars, each tens of meters high.
At its center, a faint golden glow floats upwards, disperses, and merges into the seawater.
Splash!
Zhang Yao groggily woke up from his coma, moved the heavy chains binding his hands and feet, slowly straightened up, and observed his surroundings.
"You're awake?" His third sister's familiar voice came to his ear.
"Huh?" Zhang Yao's spirits lifted, and he remembered that he had been instantly defeated by his father, and his power to rebuild his body had been suppressed. He was probably being held in some secret prison.
The Federation naturally has its own set of methods for restraining and imprisoning the Fog People.
One such method is the Fogman's Prison.
This method of imprisonment utilizes an extremely precise and rigorous array of relics to form a massive formation that suppresses the mental abilities of the fog-hearted.
Essentially, the foundation of everything for the Fog People lies in their cultivated mental strength. Without mental strength, the Fog People are unable to resist the instinctive characteristics of the evil insect scripture within their bodies.
At this point, if we can use special means to keep the Evil Insect Codex stationary, then the imprisonment of the Fog People can achieve the desired effect.
At this moment, he was in the Fogman's prison.
"Third Sister? Where are you?" After hearing Gongsun Xinlian's voice, Zhang Yao looked around but did not find his third sister.
"I just escaped from the storm. Second brother, were you also tricked out and defeated by the Mingxin Society?" Gongsun Xinlian sighed.
"It was my carelessness." Zhang Yao opened his mouth, but still didn't reveal the fact that the Master of Mingxin Society was his biological father. At this point, whether he was his biological father or not was no longer important.
To his surprise, the leader did not devour him, but instead imprisoned him.
"There are guards around here. I'm badly injured, and if I act rashly, I might not be able to save you. Second brother, please wait a moment while I distract the guards." Gongsun Xinlian's voice drifted back from afar once more.
"Be careful, don't force things if they can't be done," Zhang Yao transmitted his voice.
'I see.'
"Besides, don't worry, even if we're gone from the city, we still have a backup plan that Big Brother prepared before he left. That person from the Mingxin Society won't succeed easily," Zhang Yao continued.
'A backup plan?'
"Hmm. Now, I suppose my elder brother has already sensed something is wrong and is on his way back at top speed." Zhang Yao sighed.
'Can'
boom!!
Just as Gongsun Xinlian was about to speak, a huge turbulence suddenly came from the sea in the distance.
The two of them looked in that direction at the same time.
'Three Fog People fighting at such close range!?'
There's a chance!
Zhang Yao's eyes lit up. With his younger sister's help, he instantly thought of a way to escape.

Inside the Moon Tower Library.
Lin Hui gently took down a copy of the sealing technique and quickly flipped through its contents.
'The Three Elements Seven Apertures Sealing Technique: Using earth-attribute treasure relics as the core, nine rare water-attribute relics as auxiliary materials, combined with eighteen catties of mercury, one thousand catties of gold, and one thousand catties of sea beast marrow, array ink is prepared to construct array pattern pillars.'
This was indeed a powerful formation capable of sealing off the inferno, but the complexity of its setup far exceeded Lin Hui's imagination. It not only required inanimate objects as consumables, but also the souls of living beings.
Now he understood why Tu Yue's sealed fortresses generally also served as death row prisons.
Many fortresses carried out executions of death row inmates directly inside or nearby.
Clearly, this is partly because such formations require the souls of living beings.
'This is too complicated; this is the simplest one, so I'll try it first.'
He took the booklet and approached the elderly gatekeeper, showing it to him as a form of registration. Then he walked to the edge of the Moon Tower, leaped down, and flew towards the Taoist temple.
While still in mid-air, he quickly targeted this sealing technique, activated the blood seal, and after confirming its identity, began to provide the evolutionary branch.
'Three Elements Seven Apertures Sealing Technique: A sealing technique created by Zhang Yao, the second city lord of Black Cloud City. It is extremely powerful and has a wide range of applications, capable of completely sealing off all corrupting forces. Duration: Thirty years. Consumes resources.'
What follows is a bunch of resources that we just saw.
Lin Hui scrolled directly to the bottom to view the possible evolutionary branches.
Evolutionary branch: 4.
'1—The Seal of Purgatory.'
'2—Extreme Cold Seal.'
'3—The Seal of Ashes.'
'4 - Windstorm Seal.'
'Huh? So fast!?' Lin Hui had tried other sealing methods before, but none of them produced a counter-sealing method so quickly.
The others initially only had the first three, requiring several attempts to obtain the Wind Disaster Seal, but this time it appeared immediately.
Yes, Lin Hui has now discovered that the evolution of the Blood Seal will result in different branches with continuous attempts.
I remember when he was still weak, there were very few evolutionary types of Blood Seal, and only a few fixed branches.
Now, the possibilities for evolutionary branches have greatly increased, but at most only a few can be tested at a time. Repeated testing is needed for new branches and new possibilities to emerge.
At this moment, the sealing technique found the required direction in one go. Without further hesitation, Lin Hui gripped the booklet and opened the follow-up content of the fourth item, the Wind Disaster Seal, in his field of vision.
'The Wind Disaster Seal—The wind disaster energy fissures brought about by Lin Hui's practice of the Typhoon Sword Technique, the Initiator, are beginning to manifest in the world for the first time. This disaster's threat level far surpasses the extreme cold of Purgatory and is far greater than the Ashes. This method combines the secret techniques of the Royal Shadow Sect, which has fought against wind disasters for countless years, with the initial sealing method, the Three Elements Seven Apertures Sealing Technique, fusing and evolving into a perfect sealing technique specifically for the wind disaster fissures of this world.'
'Required resources: 10 years of disaster preparedness reserves, 50 years of physical and mental strength reserves.'
Time required: 120 years.
Lin Hui let out a long breath. Finally, he was out; he'd got it. He knew better than anyone that the Seven Annihilation True Monarch's deeds were true. Even if the other party's tone seemed to suggest he was a successor from a previous generation.
But regardless of whether he was a successor or not, he dared not let the other party come over rashly.
After all, the Seven Annihilation True Monarch is already dead. Is the one who appears now really the real person, or a shadow that has already merged and disappeared during the wind disaster?
he does not know.
If it is the latter, it means that a large-scale windstorm will invade this world.
Even low-level pollution forces like Purgatory and Extreme Cold caused such exaggerated casualties; imagine what would happen if it were a windstorm.
The tens of millions of people in Black Cloud City can forget about surviving.
It may also affect the surrounding island groups.
Using the sealing technique, Lin Hui calculated the remaining various medicines.
The Golden Coral had already been consumed, and the remaining medicines combined were far from enough to accelerate the sealing technique.
Looks like we'll have to wait for further procurement.
Having confirmed that the Wind Disaster Seal would begin its evolution immediately, he put away the booklet, then suddenly remembered something and turned to fly towards the third floating mountain peak.
He plans to personally explain the matter to Gongsun Xinlian about the Fourth Princess's problem.
He's desperately short of medicine, and this information is so important, it's perfect for exchanging it for medicine.
But after flying only halfway, he suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed slightly.
At this distance, even with the floating mountain formation blocking the way, one could clearly sense that Gongsun Xinlian was not in the mountain.
Thinking back to what Song Feishi had said earlier, Lin Hui narrowed his eyes slightly.
Long! ! !
Suddenly, a faint buzzing sound came from afar.
Three familiar scents wafted from that direction.
'In such a short time, this child has actually...'
Lin Hui was slightly surprised to sense Xia Si's immense power.
Xia Sike has neither a blood seal nor a Pure Source Body, yet she can still improve so quickly. This is clearly inextricably linked to the polluted ash power within her body.
At this moment, Xia Si felt the intense friction between the three auras, and his power was clearly being suppressed at an alarming rate.
Her ash power could not suppress the windstorm power of the same or even stronger level.
After Yunxiazi and Su Yaping, now possessing the Qingyuan Dharma Body, unleashed their power, and the combined strength completely suppressed her outburst.
Judging from this trend, Lin Hui estimated that Xia Si would be completely defeated in at most half a minute, and then obediently be dragged back and kneeled in front of him.
But the next moment, three strange forces suddenly erupted and smashed Yunxiazi and Su Yaping's combined forces from the side.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xia Si's aura vanished instantly, as if she had become invisible, clearly taking the chance to leave.
The speed at which they ran away left Lin Hui speechless.
Because Xia Si's speed at that moment was at least half as fast as when they had just fought.
It was obvious that she had been hiding her true abilities, waiting for this opportunity to escape in an instant.
I felt Xia Si's barely perceptible breath rapidly fading away.
Lin Hui's smile deepened.
He was truly growing to appreciate Xia Si more and more. She was the only disciple he hadn't spent much time guiding; the others, including Su Yaping, would often come to him for advice and guidance.
But Xia Si alone, through her own hard work and fighting her way out, has grown to this height.
'Fine, this farce should come to an end.' Putting away the booklet, Lin Hui adjusted his direction and disappeared instantly in the direction Xia Si had fled.
At this moment.
Far away on the other side of Black Cloud City, above the dock.
The Mingxin Sect leader, disguised as Zhang Yao, was currently returning to the inner city's Moon Tower, surrounded by a group of subordinates.
At this moment, he also sensed the battle between the Mistmen-level beings that had broken out nearby.
"Lord, should we issue a warning and expel them?" Xin Shuai, a subordinate disguised as a blood ancestor's personal guard, asked in a low voice.
"No need. Continue back." The leader shook his head slightly.
The group continued flying towards the inner city.
Whoosh.
Just then.
A blurry, illusory figure flew rapidly from the direction of the inner city.
Swish.
Seemingly sensing the approach of the group, the phantom slowed down, paused, and revealed its true form.
It was a tall man dressed in white, with black hair reaching his waist and carrying a sword.
The man's face possessed an uncanny harmony, making it impossible to find any fault with it. Yet, despite its harmony, it completely lacked any beauty, handsomeness, or attractiveness.
This person was Lin Hui.
At this moment, Zhang Yao's team, disguised as the leader, and Lin Hui, who was leaving the city to bring Xia Si back, unexpectedly met.
It only lasted for a moment.
Their auras clashed instantly, and their eyes met.
one second.
two seconds.
three seconds.
They both smiled and nodded to each other.
In a flash, they passed each other on the left and right, quickly flying away.
