Chapter 4333 The Mastermind
While Xiao Yi was avoiding the chains attacking him, he was trying to find a weak spot in the formation and leave here for the time being.
His position was already lost in the Four Symbols Seal Formation, and because of his movement, the switch of the formation was triggered. The formation regarded Xiao Yi as an intruder and wanted to kill him inside the formation.
The formation arranged by the four masters together was indeed extraordinary. Even after hundreds of years, the residual power of the formation was still there. It was not so easy for Xiao Yi to escape from the formation in a short time.
The chains were like snakes, chasing Xiao Yi closely, not giving Xiao Yi a chance to breathe. What was more troublesome than these was above Xiao Yi's head.
The four positions of the Four Symbols Seal represent a direction respectively. These four directions are still operating normally. They were originally condensing the Tao Qi, but the Tao Qi here had long been devoured by the evil Qi. The formation sucked the evil Qi into it and became a part of it.
The evil spirits gathered and took shape, transforming into the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, four mythical beasts that only appear in myths and legends. Unfortunately, the evil spirits gathered were no longer spiritual beasts, but evil spirits.
The Azure Dragon circled in the sky, the White Tiger roared in all directions, the Vermilion Bird cried and flew high, and the Black Tortoise guarded the eight wastelands, as if it was going to trap Xiao Yi to death.
Xiao Yi's mind moved, and the Dragon Slashing Sword appeared in his hand. At this time, it was too late to regret. He wanted to try to see how strong the so-called Four Symbols Seal was.
The Dragon Slashing Sword shot out a blade of light and slashed the White Tiger that pounced on Xiao Yi. The black shadow of the White Tiger was shattered, turned into black air all over the sky, and dissipated in the air.
However, the next second, the black air gathered again, and the White Tiger appeared again. The same situation happened to several other evil things. No matter how many times Xiao Yi smashed them, they would eventually appear again, just like immortality.
"This is the source of evil energy. The bronze tripod seals the soul of Taotie. His soul is so powerful. With such power, these four evil creatures can be reborn infinitely."
The Four Symbols Sealing Formation has changed from the original setting and has become an evil formation. The evil energy generated by the bronze tripod is used by the formation to attack any intruders who enter the formation.
And these four evil creatures born in the formation have the sealing power of the formation. Once they are caught by them, they will be restrained and unable to operate their breath smoothly.
The formation is constantly consuming, and no normal person can withstand such consumption. After Xiao Yi fought several times, he could not sustain such consumption for long.
"Be careful!"
Zixu reminded Xiao Yi. Just as Xiao Yi was fighting with the four evil creatures, a flying knife attacked his back, piercing the void and appearing in an instant, leaving Xiao Yi no time and opportunity to react.
At this moment, Xiao Yi was unable to split himself. There were four evil creatures in front of him, and he was alone. He had no extra time to judge. Xiao Yi used all his strength to make a move and smashed the four evil creatures in front of him.
At the same time, his body instinctively moved to the side, but as he moved, the flying knife pierced his right shoulder, and the blade sank deeply into it.
Xiao Yi's arm was injured...
Under the strength of his current body, the blade pierced the skin and fixed on his arm bone, and a powerful restraining force restricted Xiao Yi's movements, making his arm unable to control, as if it was useless.
At this moment, Xiao Yi frowned. He smashed the four evil creatures, and in the gathering of evil energy, he was reborn again, as if it was endless, but these four evil creatures had some changes, and after rebirth, they occupied their corresponding positions.
He did not continue to attack Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi had no intention of paying attention to the wound on his shoulder. Now even if he wanted to pull out the flying knife and heal himself, the person who attacked behind him would not leave him such an opportunity.
Yes...
In addition to Xiao Yi, there is another person who has entered here.
Or rather, from the beginning, he has been following Xiao Yi, following behind him and the third elder, looking for an opportunity to attack Xiao Yi.
Unfortunately, he could feel the strength of Xiao Yi. If the distance was too close, it would be easy for Xiao Yi to detect it. If the plan failed at that time, he could not bear the responsibility.
So he followed here all the way. In the battle between Xiao Yi and the evil creatures produced by the Four Symbols Seal, he was bound to be distracted. As expected, as he expected, he found an opportunity. This attack was enough to cause great trouble to Xiao Yi.
Moreover, Xiao Yi was trapped in the formation of the Four Symbols Seal. It was not so easy to get out of the formation. The power of the Four Symbols Seal alone was enough to make Xiao Yi's clone powerless. Even if he was not as strong as her, he could keep Xiao Yi here.
Xiao Yi slowly turned around and saw the figure behind him. He was indeed a little surprised, but all this was also within his expectations. What was coming finally came.
"You finally showed up!"
"Oh? From what you said, it seems like you know I'm following you."
"I'm not sure it's you, but you're so good at disguising yourself. You've revealed some flaws a few times, but you quickly hid them again, so I concluded that someone is following me."
The person who appeared behind Xiao Yi was not a stranger, but the second elder of Poxiao Villa, so when Xiao Yi saw him for the first time, he was indeed a little surprised. He had waited for a long time, but he didn't expect that the person he was waiting for would be this person.
There was a little disappointment in his heart. In Xiao Yi's heart, he always regarded Dawn Villa as the embodiment of justice. He respected several elders. At this age, they were still fighting to maintain the peace of China.
So he would never refuse the orders of the two elders. However, the impression of Dawn Villa in his heart ended here. Xiao Yi looked at the second elder in front of him, full of questions in his heart.
"Why?"
"Why is it you?"
"I don't seem to have any grudges with you, and I won't ask you to come to deal with me. What is the reason for all this?"
Xiao Yi couldn't figure out the reason. The second elder in front of him chuckled, thinking that his disguise was perfect and Xiao Yi would not notice his existence.
He is worthy of being an opponent that the old owner can pay attention to. He has such strength at a young age. The second elder himself is also a talented person. If Xiao Yi is not targeted, it would be better. Staying in Dawn Villa will definitely be of great use in the future.
"There are not so many whys. If you have to give a reason, it's that you know too much."
"I know too much? What does that mean?"
"You know it very well in your heart. Even Miss Ji Jiangyue believes that the old manor owner is dead. The old manor owner has painstakingly planned all this and doesn't want to destroy everything because of an accident."
The second elder's words have made his position clear. He is the old manor owner's man and has been serving the old manor owner from the beginning.
He is not a treacherous and evil person. He just serves the people he follows. His goal is to follow the old manor owner and carry forward the Dawn Villa.
Although Ji Jiangyue later inherited the villa, this position was also helped by him and the third elder, but in his eyes, Ji Jiangyue is just a woman after all, and it is difficult for a woman to achieve great things.
In addition, before this, Ji Jiangyue was trapped by love. People who achieve great things will do whatever it takes and will not let themselves get deeply involved because of such things. The second elder knows a truth. If you want to promote the Dawn Villa, you can't pin your hopes on this woman.
In name, Ji Jiangyue was the owner of Poxiao Villa, but she didn't know that the old owner was not dead. After participating in the assassination of Xiao Huaiyi, in order to hide his whereabouts, he had to release the news that he was dead to the outside world.
Even Ji Jiangyue and Ji Jiangli, the two sisters, were kept in the dark about this matter, because they saw with their own eyes that Ji Wuye had a deviation in his closed-door cultivation, and all the blood vessels in his body broke and died.
People are often like this. What they see with their own eyes will be believed without a doubt. Ji Jiangyue and her sisters were heartbroken at the time, so they didn't check carefully. At that time, Ji Wuye just used some means to fake his death.
Of course, no one would have thought that the owner of Poxiao Villa looked like a thick-skinned person on the surface, but in fact he was good at calculating, especially in the matter of Xiao Huaiyi, showing his far-reaching strategy.
