4574: C4574 Soul Returning Formation

C4574 Soul Returning Formation

Xianyang, backyard of the palace.

An altar was set up. Nine layers of white jade bricks were built, and the stairs led to the top. Forty-nine flags were erected in all four directions. On the flags were complex runes written with cinnabar.

The flags were fluttering in the wind. Under the fierce wind, there were faint ghostly cries in the air.

Around the altar, there was a cold Yin Qi.

At this moment, Su Ru was lying on the altar with her eyes tightly closed.

She was motionless, as if she had fallen into a deep slumber. This was because her human soul had been damaged, and it was no longer able to support her to open her eyes and wake up again.

Lu Yu was standing beside Su Ru at this moment, setting up the Soul Returning Formation.

Most of the scattered souls would be affected by the laws of reincarnation and sent into the Nether Realm.

There was also a portion of the souls that were strong enough to retain their soul power at this time. They would be called ghosts if they did not enter hell.

Su Ru's human soul was still there, but the Heavenly Soul and Earth Soul were nowhere to be seen.

Lu Yu was no longer the same as before. The ancient Xuan Immortal was a Daoist who could reach the nine heavens and reach the netherworld. Even though his soul had dispersed, he could still find traces of it.

The Soul Returning Formation had been set up seven days behind the imperial palace. Souls as vast as the ocean were summoned by Lu Yu.

At this moment, Su Ru suddenly opened her eyes.

She had a gentle posture to begin with, but now she suddenly opened her eyes. A strange jade-green color flashed across her eyes.

"Thank you, my lord, for saving my life. I'm willing to pay you back with my own body."

Su Ru exhaled like orchids and said in a soft and weak voice.

That attitude caused people to be unable to help but feel pity for her.

Lu Yu, however, frowned. He raised his hand and pressed down on Su Ru's head as he stretched out his hand and grabbed.

"Come out!"

Following Lu Yu's shout, the soul of a female ghost was pulled out from the top of Su Ru's head.

The female ghost knew that she had been discovered. She let out a piercing scream and lunged at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu didn't waste any time. He raised his finger and pointed at the female ghost.

"Puchi!"

The female ghost was like a block of ice under the scorching sun. She let out a despairing scream and disappeared in an instant.

This Soul Returning Array was able to summon the Four Directional Yin Ghosts, so it naturally attracted many ghosts over. Some ghosts wanted to fish in troubled waters and use Su Ru's body to revive.

But these were all small tricks, how could they hide from Lu Yu's eyes?

"Those who don't want to die, get lost!"

Lu Yu looked around and shouted coldly.

Along with his shout, the shadow of a god of death stood proudly in the sky. Its eyes looked down upon the world, and its pressure was overwhelming.

"Run!"

The surrounding ghosts were all terrified. They began to flee in all directions, not daring to stay any longer.2

When all the ghosts in the surroundings had retreated, Lu Yu frowned and shouted, "The souls have returned!"

In the void, a long and complicated incantation was faintly heard, stirring up the laws of the heaven and earth.

If an ordinary cultivator wanted to cast a spell, they would need to go through an incantation to resonate with the Laws of the Heavens and Earth.

Lu Yu had already become a Martial Immortal. When he spoke the mantra of a Martial Immortal, it was almost as if his words were following the law, it could directly resonate with the heaven and earth in all directions.

The chilly wind outside the altar became even stronger, as if there were more than ten thousand people roaring at the same time.

The dark clouds above the Imperial Palace were like ten thousand ghosts pressing down on the city, giving people a clear sense of oppression.

And at this moment, two streaks of light shot out from the clouds, arriving in front of the altar in the blink of an eye.
