Chapter 56: Persuading to Leave

"How could this be..."

His consciousness frantically swept over every detail of the formation patterns, like the most precise probe, instantly locking onto the source of the crack—an extremely faint yet viciously poisonous aura of resentment and filth, filled with hatred and curses, clung stubbornly to the most fragile part of the formation's structure like the most tenacious grime, continuously eroding and corrupting it.

It was the residual poison from that Wailing Woman Lantern!

Although he had used every means to seal and suppress that main soul, trapping it deep within his consciousness, during the process of devouring and refining it, he was ultimately inevitably contaminated by that trace of the most fundamental, most pure resentment and baleful energy. It had seeped in like a virus, even polluting this foundational Spirit Gathering Array!

This venomous resentment was like gangrene clinging to the bone, slowly yet unshakably destroying it, and worse, it was continuously absorbing the Spirit Gathering Array's own power to strengthen itself.

Even more dire, the shaking and weakening of the Spirit Gathering Array had severely affected the stability of the entire ring's internal space. The six bloody patterns on the inner wall, formed from the intense resentment and essence-blood condensed at the moment of the previous host's death, were now glowing with an eerie light. Like sharks that had caught the scent of blood, they faintly resonated with the crack, restless and stirring. Their power, filled with ferocious balefulness and ill omen, was seeping in strand by strand, taking advantage of the situation to accelerate the final collapse of this life-saving array!

(Inner thoughts: "This is utterly screwed! When it rains, it pours! The house is about to collapse, and there are termites living in the load-bearing walls! This damn ring is completely uninhabitable now! If I don't move out soon, I'll be buried alive! Not even a chance for reincarnation!")

Lin Yu's inner world was in utter turmoil, a tempest of shock and waves, but the voice transmitted to Su Ming's mind forcefully suppressed all panic and despair, leaving only a deliberately amplified, heavy and solemn gravity.
