The second Human Sequence holds a position of great power within the Qingming Sect, and naturally, their abilities are formidable. Before arriving at the Jingji Forest, Lin Han and his companions had already gathered information indicating that reaching the second Human Sequence level grants one certain methods to harness the power of the Azure Abyss Demon Mandible.
At this moment, a vast Black Gray Energy Array suddenly appeared around Lin Han and his group, unleashing an intensely Frenzied energy that began to wreak havoc. The low growls and mournful cries of beasts echoed around them, continuously emerging from the chaos.
Lin Han couldn't help but frown. This array had been set up using the power of Gui Chi, and it had been brewing for quite some time. Such a situation triggered the Fallen Soul Blood Curse in his mind. Ha, having nearly died once already, what else was there to fear?
Lin Han was utterly dismissive of this predicament; he couldn't even be bothered to wear the new Year Blessing, as he needed to be prepared for any unexpected occurrences. "We need to retreat!" Lin Suqing said in a low voice, swinging her short sword in an attempt to break free from this binding. However, she soon realized that even her efforts were insufficient to completely shatter the array.
Lin Han and his companions were trapped within it, trying to use their keen senses to find a way out, but after several attempts, they were left with no clues, feeling completely lost like headless flies.
"No! Linzi, those Heishui are about to engulf us!" Xue Wushuang exclaimed as she watched the tide of Heishui surge around them. Within that murky liquid, beasts corrupted by chaotic forces were howling and roaring in agony, attacking indiscriminately.
"Ha! You think you can find an opportunity to break the array?" A disdainful voice emerged from the rising Black Gray mist. "For your sake, we specially brought secret treasures from the sect. Now, this entire Jingji Forest is under the control of Qingming Sect's power. No matter how many reinforcements you bring, you will still be trapped within it. In the end, you will be overwhelmed by this chaotic Beast Tide and become our trophies!"
"How ridiculous! Just with these weeds, how long can they hold us?" Lin Suqing sneered coldly. She had anticipated this situation before making her move and had brought along all her items capable of delivering powerful attacks.
"Lin Han! Just make sure you don't get corrupted by this strange power!" As Lin Suqing spoke, Lin Han and the others exchanged knowing glances and began to fight back.
A massive Blood Flame erupted within the Black Gray array with a thunderous roar. Mie Tian Qi Lin and Devouring Heaven Xuanwu—two formidable beasts—had just been engaged in battle with Zhang Ziqing's beast but were now caught in the chaotic Beast Tide.
They were covered in that viscous Black Gray liquid, yet they managed to dispel the eerie sense of corruption surrounding them.
"Flame Sovereign!" Lin Han shouted as he slashed down with his Silver Rapier, obliterating a beast in front of him.
Around them, the Black Gray mist obscured their vision; they could only discern their surroundings through the occasional flickers and eruptions of golden light and Blood Fire.
"Linzi, when will Wu Jiaoxi and the others arrive?" Xue Wushuang asked while fending off another infected beast.
This level of combat could indeed buy them some time, but uncertainty about when help would arrive left them feeling uneasy.
Just as Lin Han opened his mouth to speak about Luo Xi's group, a resonant bell sound suddenly echoed in his mind—familiar yet somewhat illusory and fragile.
Is that... You Huang Zhong?
Lin Han felt a sense of surprise. He certainly remembered the sound of the bell; it was the same one he had encountered during his journey to the Great Yu Dynasty timeline. It belonged to the national protective artifact of the Great Yu Dynasty, known as the You Huang Bell, which was classified as a mythical-level treasure!
