Just as Shen Luo was staring at the dragon head carefully, the dragon head suddenly opened its eyes. Its eyes were blood red, and there seemed to be endless resentment in them, which turned into substance and rushed out.
The flames all around suddenly gathered together and transformed into a phantom of a fire lotus. The nine flaming petals closed together and wrapped up the strange corpse. All the strange images disappeared immediately.
Shen Luo took a deep breath of cold air, and instantly came back to his senses. Everything around him returned to normal, but when he looked over, the three incense sticks in Hu Yong's hand had already burned halfway.
At this moment, Shen Luo could no longer pretend that nothing had happened. He retracted the magic formula in his hand and immediately severed the magical connection between him and the peach talisman without hesitation.
Soon, the light on the ghost-suppressing talisman in front of him dimmed, but it was still suspended in the air. Although the entire magic circle did not stop completely, the runes on the ground became a little blurred.
Almost at the same time, Hu Yong discovered something was wrong. A hint of gloom flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to normal and asked, "What happened? Why is the mana supply cut off?"
Hearing this, everyone looked towards Shen Luo with surprise on their faces.
"Senior, please forgive my incompetence. When I was operating the formation, the discomfort in my body became more and more intense. I am afraid I cannot maintain it and it will hinder your plans." Shen Luo clasped his fists and said with a stiff face.
Such lies are naturally unbelievable, and anyone can see that they are excuses.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, what are you doing?" Lu He asked puzzled.
"Hurry up and maintain the formation. You can't afford to delay the killing of the ghost general." Lin Qing shouted angrily.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, now is not the time to act recklessly. You must follow Mr. Hu's arrangements in everything." Yun Niang also advised.
Jin Dun frowned and shook his head.
"Senior, I have made up my mind. Please forgive me." Shen Luo clasped his fists again and made a gesture to leave his position.
"Hmph! I was just being polite with you, but do you really think I have a good temper? The Five Elements Forbidden Breaking Formation won't work without any one of you, do you really think you can get away?" Hu Yong's tone of voice suddenly changed, and his whole aura also changed.
"Five Elements Breaking Forbidden Formation? Isn't it the Five Elements Devil-Exterminating Formation?" Yun Niang asked doubtfully.
"Sure enough, it's not a coincidence that the five of us practice the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. It's something you did deliberately. What is sealed under this pond? What is your purpose?" Shen Luo asked in a cold voice with his eyes fixed.
"What seal..." Lu He and others were confused, their eyes hesitantly looking between Shen Luo and Hu Yong.
"From the moment you got here, you seemed very different. It turns out that you discovered the problem. But it's too late now. You have no way out. Haha..."
Hu Yong laughed wildly and swung his hand casually. The three long incense sticks that had not yet burned out were nailed into the ground in front of the pond. He used his free hands to quickly make hand gestures and point them in all directions.
The five ghost-suppressing talismans hanging in the air immediately trembled violently and flew back towards Shen Luo and the others.
Lu He and others were caught off guard and were hit in the chest by the ghost-suppressing talismans. Their bodies immediately froze and they stood still, unable to move.
