"It seems that Brother Shen knows the origin of the tomb above?" The Bull Demon King looked over.
"Mr. Shen has been near Chang'an City before and knows a thing or two about this place. This is a place called Yinling Mountains. The tomb above is said to have been built by a prince of the previous Tang Dynasty. For some reason, a large number of ghosts appeared here." Shen Luo explained roughly.
"So that's how it is. But what are these jade pillars? Why is there such a strong yin energy in them?" The Bull Demon King looked at a jade pillar next to him and said curiously.
"These jade pillars are not ordinary stone pillars. They are engraved with star seals, which contain a large number of ghosts. These jade pillars are not arranged randomly. They seem to be arranged according to the ancient strange formation, the Zhoutian Star Array." Zhen Yuanzi said after looking at the group of jade pillars in front of him.
"The Great Zhoutian Star Fighting Array!" Shen Luo was surprised.
He had seen records of this formation in ancient books. It was one of the ten great magic formations in ancient times, and it was said to be ranked very high. It could draw power from the stars in the sky to destroy the enemy, and it had a lot in common with his three-star demon-destroying ability.
The Bull Demon King's eyes also lit up, because this Great Zhoutian Star Fighting Array was a unique array of the ancient demon clan. It was a pity that it had been lost long ago. He didn't expect to see it here.
"These jade pillars do not look like the souls of ordinary people. They seem to be the souls of soldiers with firm minds." Zhen Yuanzi continued.
"Soldiers' souls?" Shen Luo was startled when he heard it. He looked at a jade pillar not far away and pointed with his finger.
A black light shot out from his hand, it was the Liu Chen Whip, hitting the jade pillar.
The jade pillar exploded with a loud bang, and the entire underground cave shook. Countless ecstatic ghost howls rang out, piercing everyone's eardrums.
Resentment soared into the sky from the collapsed jade pillar, and black ghost energy condensed into substance and emerged, filling the entire underground space in the blink of an eye. The temperature dropped drastically, and the ground was instantly frozen. Everyone hurriedly cast spells to protect their bodies.
In the black ghostly aura, teams of soldier-shaped ghosts appeared. There were thousands of them, flying all over the sky. Their power was three times stronger than that of the ghosts in the underworld.
"Sure enough, they are all soldier souls. And judging from their attire, they are all soldiers from the previous Tang Dynasty. Why are they sealed here?" Shen Luo frowned and muttered to himself.
Although these ghosts have heavy yin energy, they have no significant impact on Taiyi beings like Shen Luo.
“Judging from the star seals on these jade pillars, the person who cast the spell does not want to completely kill these military souls, but rather feed them with the power of the Yin water here. It seems that he wants to do something big with them.” Zhen Yuanzi said.
"Oh, I see." Shen Luo suddenly realized what was going on.
According to what he knew, the army of the previous dynasty had retreated to this place and hid. It seemed that they knew they could not escape defeat, so they set up this formation, sealed the souls of their soldiers in it, and then fed them with the Yin water here, so that they would be able to counterattack Chang'an one day in the future.
No wonder when there were thousands of ghosts in Chang'an, the ghosts here cooperated with the Body Refining Altar.
However, he was really shocked that there was someone in the previous dynasty who understood the Great Zhoutian Star Array.
Those military ghosts quickly noticed the presence of Shen Luo and other living people. Their eyes were full of hunger for blood, and they all pounced towards them.
"court death!"
Shen Luo snorted coldly and used his magic power to inject it into the Liu Chen Whip. Suddenly, black talismans appeared on the whip, which then spun rapidly, forming a black vortex that whirred around.
