In just a few moments, the Iron Corpse let out a roar, with Corpse Qi surging from its body. Intense strength transmitted forth, shaking off Bai Zisheng and freeing itself from the spear's restraints.
The Iron Corpse, freed from its bonds, had a fierce expression. It let out a deep growl similar to Monster Beasts, but it wasn't bloodthirsty or murderous.
It seemed to know that it couldn't kill any cultivator in this room.
With a leap, the Iron Corpse attempted to burst through the door.
Once it escaped outside, entering South Yue City, it could feast to its heart's content, devouring flesh and blood to restore its Blood Qi.
The Iron Corpse slammed against the door, intending to break out.
But the Formation Patterns all around, dense as a spider web, lit up, and several Spiritual Power shackles appeared, directly binding the Iron Corpse and preventing it from escaping.
Enraged, the Iron Corpse tore with its iron claws, damaging several Formations, attempting to break free.
Before it could escape, Bai Zisheng's spear was already thrusting toward it.
Bai Zixi's Sword Qi, too, was ignited with pure white flames, aiming straight for the Iron Corpse's head.
And Mo Hua's fireballs flew precisely towards the joints of the Iron Corpse's legs.
Inside the room, the Formation trembled, and Spiritual Power overflowed.
Despite the Sound Isolation Formation being in place, such a commotion and the fluctuations of Spiritual Power still managed to seep out.
In the courtyard, Instructor Yan was drinking tea with Mr. Zhuang.
Upon hearing the noise, Instructor Yan looked puzzled and said,
"Is something wrong?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled indifferently and responded,
"No harm done, just children playing."
Instructor Yan looked doubtful but nodded, half believing, half unsure.
Inside the room, the disturbance continued for the duration of a cup of tea before gradually calming down.
The Formation inside the room was laid out too densely by Mo Hua, layer upon layer, like the Silk Cave, leaving no escape for the Iron Corpse.
And the Taoist Skills of Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi were extremely strong.
Plus, Mo Hua was darting in opportunistically to attack.
Thus, the Iron Corpse was quickly subdued.
Bai Zisheng's long spear had pierced through the Iron Corpse's throat, pinning it to the ground.
But the Iron Corpse's limbs were still incessantly thrashing and clawing.
Bai Zisheng asked, "Junior brother, do you have a way to immobilize it?"
Mo Hua stared at the Formation on the Iron Corpse's chest, thought for a moment, and said,
"Destroy this Formation."
Bai Zixi asked, "Have you mastered it yet?"
"Not yet," Mo Hua shook his head, "But I've memorized the Formation Patterns. I'll slowly comprehend it later."
"Good," Bai Zixi said crisply.
Then, with a deft twist of her hand, several strands of golden Sword Qi coalesced and flew out simultaneously, piercing through the chest of the Iron Corpse and destroying the Blood Formation on it.
The Iron Corpse struggled with its limbs for a while before gradually ceasing to move.
All three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"What should we do with this Iron Corpse?" Bai Zisheng asked.
Mo Hua pondered and said, "For now, we should seal it inside an iron coffin. I'll use a Formation to suppress it to prevent any further mishaps from it escaping."
"And the Ultimate Formation?"
"I've noted it down."
Bai Zisheng was somewhat incredulous, "You've remembered it in such a short time?"
"Mhm," Mo Hua nodded, his tone uncertain:
"This Ultimate Formation doesn't seem too hard..."
"Hard or not, who says Ultimate Formations are simple?" Bai Zisheng expressed concern, "Don't get it wrong and end up wasting our efforts."
"It's fine, even if I remembered it incorrectly, Sister Situ still has four more Iron Corpses."
"Okay then," Bai Zisheng said, then suddenly furrowed his brow:
"The four Iron Corpses at Sister Situ's place... could they have also lost control?"
"They won't," Mo Hua asserted, "Sister Situ and the others don't understand Formations. If they don't meddle with the Formations, the Iron Corpses won't lose control..."
"This Iron Corpse lost control because it was afraid something would be discovered."
"Someone doesn't want me to see the Formation on the heart meridian of the Iron Corpse..."
Mo Hua said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.
