Chapter 628 Mobilizing the Soul Army
The sky above the city of the underworld is a solidified, oppressive crimson.
The area surrounding the Qin King's Palace in Hengye was already completely enveloped by a massive stele forest formation radiating a ghostly green light.
The densely packed, towering ancient stone tablets form an invisible barrier.
Qin Hanyue rushed here, intending to report the situation directly to Si Yuan Qin Wang, but due to her unsettled state of mind, she accidentally bumped into this invisible barrier of the stele forest.
boom!
An irresistible force erupted instantly, sending her flying!
The eerie green flames of the stele forest, like maggots clinging to her bones, landed on her soul, and the excruciating pain of her soul being burned made her let out a muffled groan.
She clenched her teeth in pain, rolling and stumbling on the ground several times before finally managing to extinguish the raging flames around her.
Still shaken, Qin Hanyue supported her soul, which had been scorched and dimmed considerably, and stared in astonishment at the massive array of stone tablets that stood silently before her.
"This is... the protective stele forest formation of Hengye Hall?"
A chill instantly crept up her spine.
What exactly happened at the Qin King's Palace in Hengye?
Isn't today the day to interrogate my father, Qin Tian, about his mistakes? Why has even the palace's protective array been activated?
“Father, Siyuan Qin King!” Qin Hanyue’s heart sank.
There were only eight Qin kings who flew to the city gate to welcome the Lord of the Underworld, and Si Yuan was not among them. Therefore, she should still be in Hengye Palace.
The great formation of the Stele Forest has been activated; what lies within is surely more likely to be mortal danger than good fortune.
Father...Is it alright if he doesn't know?
And then there's Si Yuan Qin Wang, she's his only support!
But how can I possibly get into this impregnable formation?
A bad feeling crept into my heart.
Time was passing too quickly. If she delayed any longer, Qin Youyou would discover her existence and would surely kill her!
A resolute glint flashed in Qin Hanyue's eyes.
She pulled a cold object with mysterious patterns from her bosom.
It was the Soul Stone Tiger Talisman that Si Yuan Qin Wang personally gave her, which could command the Soul Army guarding the palace.
The entire Underworld has a total of 30,000 city-guarding soul soldiers. They usually remain hidden and only appear when the Underworld City is in crisis, upon receiving the Tiger Symbol's command.
Each Qin king held the power to mobilize them.
Si Yuan's authority to transfer personnel was delegated to Qin Hanyue.
Looking at the solid forest of steles, a hint of madness flashed across Qin Hanyue's face.
She got up, stood at the front of the formation, and raised the heavy bronze tiger tally high.
With a desperate determination, he poured all the little soul power he had left into it.
hum-
The bronze tiger tally suddenly burst forth with a dazzling, eerie blue light.
The ancient patterns on the talisman seemed to come alive, rapidly flowing and expanding.
A chilling pressure, imbued with the aura of iron and death, spread outwards from the Tiger Tally like an invisible ripple!
Immediately afterwards, thousands of iron hooves struck the underworld, creating a thunderous echo.
One after another, figures materialized from the ethereal, silently solidifying in this place.
First a few, then dozens, then hundreds...
He rode a tall horse with its hooves burning with ghostly fire, his armor was jet black, and he held a long spear and a giant shield. Soul fire burned quietly beneath his helmet.
It has no face, only an outline formed by a cold and ruthless will.
The 30,000 guardian soul soldiers were a silent legion that emerged from the underworld, standing in neat rows and imposing formations like a black tide.
The overwhelming military force converged into an invisible storm, stirring up howling winds from the depths of the underworld city, and every inch of land trembled at their arrival!
The frigid forest of spears and halberds, shimmering with a terrifying soul light, silently aimed at the massive stele forest formation.
"Pierce through!" Qin Hanyue waved her hand forward and shouted sharply.
The 30,000 Soul Army soldiers silently lined up, their spears and halberds thrusting forward, stabbing fiercely towards the Stele Forest Formation!
boom!
The entire area of the Hengye Qinwang Palace was shaken violently.
Above the sky, Qin Youyou and the eight Qin kings also felt this earth-shattering aura.
The Qin kings looked horrified.
"Someone has summoned the city's guardian spirit army!"
"Who is it? Could it be that the invaders have driven Hengye and Siyuan to the brink of despair, forcing them to summon the city's guardian spirit army?"
"Damn it! Great Lord of the Underworld, please do not let that intruder get away with this!"
Qin Youyou was furious.
Damn it, who is this intruder? She's fiercely protective of her own people and will never let anyone who bullies her subjects get away with it!
Her speed increased again, and in the blink of an eye, she had left the eight Qin kings far behind.
With a single step, his figure traversed space like a ghost, instantly appearing above the assembled Soul Army, whose imposing presence shook the heavens.
“This is…” she squinted.
A dense array of black-armored Soul Army soldiers stood in imposing formation, their long spears thrusting straight ahead like a forest.
With a deafening roar, the dark green protective array of the palace was shattered.
The phantom images of countless ancient stone tablets exploded into a sky full of green light!
At the very front of these Soul Army soldiers stood a familiar figure.
Qin Youyou frowned, unable to recall for a moment whose back view it belonged to.
Just then, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from inside the main hall, where the formation had just collapsed!
A figure was blasted out like a rag doll, crashing onto the cold ground with a thud.
The soul fluctuated violently, almost collapsing; it was Hengye.
She struggled to prop herself up and stared in horror at the palace gate. A figure was slowly and deliberately stepping out from the smoke and dust billowing from under the eaves.
The man's movements were casual; he simply raised his hand subconsciously and gently straightened his cuffs.
"Who...who are you?!" King Hengye Qin coughed up wisps of soul light, his voice hoarse and broken, "Why are you an enemy of my Underworld?!"
The figure was silent, and Hengye felt as if he were being stared at from the abyss.
Hengye felt a pang of panic and, realizing his fear, looked away.
She endured the excruciating pain of her soul being torn apart, and suddenly turned her head to look around, only to realize with shock that the Stele Forest Formation she had specially summoned had vanished without a trace.
Her pupils suddenly contracted: "Who? Who broke my great formation?!"
This great formation was created by the Lord of the Underworld when he left. It is extremely difficult to break from the inside, but relatively easy to break from the outside. She used this formation to hold back that killing god, but unexpectedly, it was broken from the outside.
Who did it? !
Could he be an accomplice of this god of death?
She looked around in surprise and doubt, only to see a dense mass of city-guarding soul soldiers. Then, at the very front of the city-guarding soul soldiers, she saw Qin Hanyue staring in disbelief.
"Si Yuan's strategist?" Heng Ye's pupils contracted. She actually summoned the city's guardian spirit army to break her formation?
"You idiot!" Hengye showed no respect for Qin Hanyue, roaring at her from afar.
If she can't afford to offend that young man, why can't she afford to offend this idiot?
"How could Si Yuan have chosen such an idiot as his strategist? They're all idiots, complete idiots!"
Hengye was furious and cursed loudly to vent his frustration.
"That idiot! Does she even know how strong this young man is? Does she want all 30,000 soul soldiers to perish here?"
