Chapter 1379: The Ghost God Array
January 22, 2018
The Three Kingdoms World, Beyond City.
With Lu Hai Kong's command, the entire Great Jin Empire, a formidable national machine, sprang into action upon their return from Yanhuang City.
Various combat supplies and legions gathered at Beyond City in an orderly yet swift manner. In just three days, Beyond City amassed eighty percent of the legions and resources required for Lu Hai Kong's counterattack.
It was evident that Lu Hai Kong had been preparing for this well in advance; otherwise, it would have been impossible to achieve such a feat in just three short days.
While Lu Hai Kong's forces gathered a vast amount of resources at Beyond City, Lu Hai Kong himself was not present within the city.
To be precise, after returning to Luoyang from Yanhuang City, Lu Hai Kong merely issued the order to prepare for the counterattack. Then, he directly led Huang Zhong and the others through a teleportation formation to the Mysterious Gateway outside Beyond City, or what should be called the Cross-Domain Gate.
Since Huang Zhong and his group had their previous attempt at clearing the Cross-Domain Gate interrupted by an unexpected intervention, resulting in failure, they had to start the challenge anew this time.
However, this attempt was much easier than the last. On the one hand, they had already been through it once, reaching the final stage, and were well-acquainted with the various traps and challenges within, making it much simpler to navigate this time around.
Apart from that, a more crucial factor was that their team composition was significantly stronger than before.
Although Wei Chi Gong was unable to join due to losing an arm, Lu Hai Kong and Zhao Er had joined this time. While Lu Hai Kong had been a bystander since entering the Gateway to the Beyond, Zhao Er had not been idle. At the first sign of trouble, he would rush forward.
Zhao Er was an incredibly powerful fighter, arguably the best under Lu Hai Kong's command. Ten years ago, he was already incredibly strong, and his current abilities were even more formidable. With his intervention, no obstacle could stand in their way.
With Huang Zhong's knowledge of the dungeon and Zhao Er's exceptional strength, their journey through the Cross-Domain Gate was significantly smoother than the last.
Previously, it had taken them nearly a month to reach the final stage after entering the Gateway to the Beyond. This time, they accomplished the same feat in just three days.
"Your Majesty, this is the deepest part of this dungeon. Inside is a nine-headed demon snake. Last time, we were sabotaged while fighting it, which led to our failure."
Within the Cross-Domain Gate's passage, Huang Zhong pointed to a black cave and explained to Lu Hai Kong.
Lu Hai Kong stepped forward, his eyes shimmering with golden light as he activated the Heavenly Eye Technique.
To his surprise, he didn't see the nine-headed demon snake in the cave before him. However, he did notice something else.
"There's no nine-headed demon snake, but it seems there's a formation of some sort?"
"A formation?" Huang Zhong and the others were taken aback. "We didn't sense any formation the last time we were here."
"That's because the formation wasn't there the last time you came!"
At that moment, a detached voice suddenly sounded, causing Huang Zhong and the others to change their expressions as they turned to look at the speaker.
Suddenly, they realized they couldn't pinpoint the source of the sound, and more importantly, almost at the same instant, Lu Hai Kong and his group noticed that the passage they were in began to fill with dense, blood-colored lines.
Before they could react, the blood-colored lines vanished, and darkness engulfed them, rendering everything invisible.
[Ding! You have entered a special formation, the Ghost God Array. Your political attribute is temporarily reduced by 10 points due to the formation's suppression.]
A system prompt sounded, and Lu Hai Kong, who had activated the Heavenly Eye Technique, found himself in darkness, unable to discern his surroundings. However, he could perceive other things, and the attributes of the Ghost God Array appeared before him.
Ghost God Array:
Formation Level: Mythical Grade
Description: A secret formation passed down in the Wu Dou Sect, temporarily modified by Zhang Dao Ling based on the Cross-Domain Gate. It possesses the effects of suppressing political attributes, depriving sight, causing spatial anomalies, concentrating malevolent energy, and summoning ghosts and gods!
"Zhang Dao Ling?" Lu Hai Kong's brows furrowed slightly at the name. "Did I guess wrong, or did that guy find help?"
"What is this?"
As Lu Hai Kong frowned, he suddenly noticed that the formation seemed to be changing again, and the auras of the generals around him seemed to have disappeared. Instinctively, he activated the Heavenly Eye Technique.
To his surprise, the usually infallible Heavenly Eye Technique failed him, and darkness still enveloped his vision.

Even without his sight, Lu Hai Kong knew that the generals who had been guarding him had vanished, clearly affected by the spatial anomaly attribute of the formation.
Indeed, after the activation of the Ghost God Array, although Lu Hai Kong and his group hadn't moved, their positions had been altered in an instant.
The generals who had formed a protective circle around Lu Hai Kong were now separated and scattered to different corners of the formation.
From an omniscient perspective, in that moment, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and the other generals were teleported to various parts of the formation.
Almost simultaneously, the controller of the formation reactivated it, and within a breath, several hideous ghostly claws appeared out of thin air, grabbing the generals.
At the same time, behind Lu Hai Kong, a terrifying ghostly claw materialized and slammed into the ground.
An evil ghost's phantom then emerged, grasping Lu Hai Kong tightly.
In an instant, Lu Hai Kong's elite team was captured by the Ghost God Array.
Witnessing this, the two Daoists deep within the Cross-Domain Gate had a slight emotional reaction in their eyes. After a glance at each other, the Daoist on the left, with his ethereal and immortal demeanor, took a step forward and appeared before Lu Hai Kong.
At that moment, Lu Hai Kong's vision temporarily returned, and he could see the Daoist before him.
Lu Hai Kong's eyebrows raised, "Who are you?"
