Chapter 1252: 4 Elephants Soul Locking

"The Four Symbols Soul Locking Formation sounds quite mysterious."

Qing Jimeng frowned slightly, and then scanned the contents on the jade slip.

"But how do we distribute the power of the four elephants among the four of us?"

Xu Hanchang lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suggested.

"Brother Li has a strong cultivation base and sharp swordsmanship, which makes him suitable for wielding the power of the White Tiger."

"Although Junior Sister Qing has an ice spiritual root, her spiritual power is like the red lotus fire, which is endless. At the same time, it has the meaning of "just as things will turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme", which makes her suitable for holding the power of the Vermillion Bird."

"Brother Zhou is good at medicine and poisons, and has a unique understanding of life and death. He can control the Azure Dragon, which is responsible for vitality and healing."

"And the final Xuanwu power requires a continuous output of spiritual power. It needs a person with the highest cultivation and the most stable mind to control it. I have been honing my skills in Tianwai Tian for so long, so I should be the most suitable for this position."

"I wonder what you three think?"

Li Mubai didn't hesitate, raised his eyebrows, and spoke first.

"I have no problem. As long as I can leave this damn place, I am willing to control the power of the White Tiger."

Zhou Yiqiao also nodded.

"Since this is the only way, Zhou naturally has no objection."

The three of them agreed and looked at Qing Jimeng together.

Qing Jimeng bit his lower lip lightly, as if he was struggling deep in his heart, and finally he spoke slowly.

"I naturally have no objection, but as Senior Brother Xu said, the power of the Vermillion Bird conflicts with my Ice Spiritual Roots. I am afraid that the formation will not function smoothly due to my fault, and even cause unpredictable consequences."

There was a hint of worry in Qing Jimeng's voice, and her eyes swept across everyone's faces.

Seeing this, Xu Hanchang took a few steps forward and looked at Qing Jimeng seriously.

"Junior Sister Qing, you don't need to worry too much. The Four Symbols Soul Locking Formation is full of mysteries. The key lies in the harmonious coexistence of the four symbols, rather than the purity of a single force."

"Although your ice spirit root seems to conflict with the fire of the Vermillion Bird, as long as you can withstand the test of this interweaving of ice and fire, it will not be difficult to support the power of the Vermillion Bird with the help of the three of us."

When Qing Jimeng heard this, the worry in her eyes seemed to fade a little, and she nodded slightly.

"Brother Xu's words make sense. Since this is for our common future, I, Qing Jimeng, will do my best."

"The power of Suzaku will be borne by me."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Xu Hanchang took out two blank jade slips, made rubbings of them, and distributed them to Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai.

"Time is running out. The later we are, the stronger the four strange things we have will become."

"Let's go pick up the fellow apprentices in the cave first, and then we'll set off for Feisheng Gorge."

"As for getting familiar with the formation, I can only focus on it while on the road."

After the four reached a consensus, they took action immediately.

They quickly returned to the cave, gathered the last two awake brothers, and briefly explained the current situation and plan.

When the two junior brothers heard about the Shadow Sect's conspiracy and the upcoming challenges, they were horrified, but when they thought that Zhou Yiqiao and the other four were already the strongest fighting force, they had no reason to refuse and expressed their willingness to follow and face the upcoming danger together.

Fortunately, Xu Hanchang had a space that could absorb living things, and he put the frozen disciples of Qinjian Villa into the space, which did not affect their subsequent actions.

The four of them, along with their two junior brothers, moved forward quickly. It only took them half a day to arrive at this place that was deliberately hidden by the Shadow Sect.

When they were only a thousand miles away from Feisheng Gorge, the four of them could clearly feel that the strange objects in their bodies began to become restless.

"Everyone be careful, the strange items in our bodies are starting to react."

Li Mubai reminded in a deep voice, his brows tightly knitted, obviously trying hard to suppress the abnormal movements in his body.

Qing Jimeng's face also turned pale. The strangeness in her body was acquired extremely hastily. She already lacked control over her strength, and now she was struggling more than Zhou Yiqiao and the other two.

Zhou Yiqiao and Xu Hanchang were in a slightly better situation, but they could also feel the summoning power, forcing them to devote part of their attention to maintaining control over the strange objects.

"We can't delay any longer. We must set up the Four Symbols Soul Locking Formation as soon as possible."

There was a hint of anxiety in Xu Hanchang's voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao and the other two were of course willing to hand over the storage space containing the disciples of Qinjian Villa to the two awake disciples. They asked them to retreat first and then each take up a position, ready to activate the Four Symbols Soul-Locking Formation.

Li Mubai stood in the west, holding a long sword in his hand. The sword energy was sharp, and the power of the white tiger flowed in his body, forming white halos.

Qing Jimeng stood in the south, her hands forming seals. The power of the ice spirit root and the Vermillion Bird intertwined in her body, forming a strange balance. She was surrounded by lotus flowers that were a blend of ice and fire.

Zhou Yiqiao was in the east, with his hands spread out. A vibrant aura emanated from his body, and the power of the Azure Dragon formed green halos around him.

Xu Hanchang was in the north, his hands forming seals, the power of Xuanwu flowing through his body, forming black halos. His eyes were firm, like an unshakable mountain.

A huge formation slowly took shape, gradually connecting the power of the four people together.

The process was extremely smooth. It only took about an incense stick of time for the four people to sense each other's presence through the formation.

But at this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the Feisheng Gorge, and a powerful evil force rushed up from the bottom of the gorge, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

The strangeness in the four people's bodies suddenly became out of control. It broke out of their bodies and peeled off from them, trying to fly towards the direction of Feisheng Gorge and merge with the evil force.

"Not good! Increase the spiritual power output!"

As the soul searcher, Xu Hanchang knew the situation best. He immediately increased the guidance of the Black Tortoise's power. The black halo surged out like a tide, trying to pull those out-of-control strange objects back into the restraints of the Four Symbols Soul-Locking Formation.

Li Mubai, Zhou Yiqiao and Qing Jimeng naturally did not lag behind and increased their output of spiritual power. The light in their respective fields became brighter and brighter, interweaving with Xu Hanchang's Xuanwu power to form an impenetrable energy network, trying their best to resist the evil attraction coming from the depths of Feisheng Gorge.

The four people's remedial efforts were extremely successful. Under the strong restraint of the Four Symbols Soul-Locking Formation, the strange objects gradually stopped their mad rush towards the Ascension Gorge.

They struggled and twisted in the air, making bursts of shrill screams, but they could no longer break free from the cage woven by the power of the four symbols.

However, the four of them did not have time to be happy. The evil power in the Feisheng Gorge seemed to sense the abilities of Zhou Yiqiao and the others. There was another roar, and it actually controlled the four strange objects, blending them on the spot in the formation!
