Chapter 445 Curse Formation, Fang's Soul-Seizing Formation
Chapter 445 Curse Formation, Fang's Soul-Seizing Formation
"You tell us," Jiang Han kicked Mo Fan, signaling him to recount what he had seen earlier.
Although he didn't quite understand why Jiang Han wanted him to recount the scene he had witnessed, he still recounted it to Mochizuki Chika as requested by Jiang Han. After listening to Mo Fan's account, a flash of anger appeared in Mochizuki Chika's eyes, directed at Wei Bu!
Tsuruta is Mochizuki Chika's half-brother. He has always been meticulous in guarding the West Guardian Pavilion. Who would have thought that he would be secretly imprisoned in the East Guardian Pavilion by General Takagi? Mochizuki Chika had only some suspicions before, but after hearing Mo Fan's story, she was certain that her investigation was on the right track.
"The person is indeed imprisoned here," Mochizuki Chika murmured softly.
"What are you talking about? Didn't you kill the guardian mage of the East Guardian Pavilion last night?" Mo Fan asked suspiciously.
"No, I'll be going to my room after the banquet. I won't have time to come to Higashimori-kaku. As for the person you mentioned, he might be my brother, Tsuruta," Mochizuki Chika said, shaking her head.
Jiang Han knew the inside story, so he wasn't as gossipy as Mo Fan. He simply walked to the side and listened to the conversation between Mochizuki Chika and Mo Fan, while also checking the situation in the corridor through spatial fluctuations.
Led by Mochizuki Chika, they passed through several corridors and finally arrived at the most terrifying little dark room in the East Guardian Pavilion—the Nightmare Room, the center of the East Guardian Pavilion's curse array, the place with the most concentrated curse aura in the entire East Guardian Pavilion.
According to Mochizuki Chika's guess, Tsuruta is very likely imprisoned in the Nightmare Chamber by the Guardian Mage, and there must be quite a few Guardian Mages outside the Nightmare Chamber. Therefore, Mochizuki Chika needs outside help, and Jiang Han and Mo Fan are the best outside help!
After walking through countless corridors, the path ahead turned into a downward spiral staircase, clearly leading to the underground prison of the East Guardian Pavilion.
After descending the stairs, the entire space became more spacious. Jiang Han and Wang Yueqian hid at the corner of the stairs, while Mo Fan crouched in the corner to observe the situation in this underground hall.
The underground hall was shaped like a vase, and Jiang Han, Mo Fan, and Wang Yueqian were hiding in the narrow entrance. There were four mages in the spacious hall wearing indigo guard uniforms. Judging from the aura emanating from them, they were all only mid-level mages!
"Isn't Dongshouge supposed to be the largest prison in your island nation? Why are the mages guarding it only mid-level mages?" Mo Fan turned his head and asked in a low voice.
"You guys don't really think that the East Guardian Pavilion only has outer restrictions, do you?" Mochizuki Chika chuckled.
"Besides the outer restrictions, the East Guardian Pavilion also has various magical arrays inside. Among them, the Dark Prison, a shadow-type array, can suppress the strength of prisoners to the level of a beginner mage. Otherwise, it would be impossible to guard it with just a few intermediate mages." Mochizuki Chika then explained softly to Jiang Han and the other person.
"There are four mage guards in the underground hall. I can take out three of them in one go, and you can handle the last one," Mo Fan said.
"Why do we have to deal with them separately? Wouldn't it be better to just send them away together?" Jiang Han said with a smile.
The underground hall was lit by the faint candlelight on the walls. The dim environment suddenly turned cold and gloomy. Before the four guarding mages could react, they were knocked unconscious by the ghost that suddenly appeared behind them!
Many people die in gloomy prisons like this, so the necromancy system is the most effective in such an environment.
"Don't worry, I didn't kill those guards," Jiang Han quickly explained after noticing Mochizuki Chika's gaze.
"Thank you." Mochizuki Chika breathed a sigh of relief and then thanked Jiang Han and the other person.
Chika Mochizuki's guess was correct; Tsuruta was indeed imprisoned in the Nightmare Chamber by Takagi. From Tsuruta's words, Chika learned that Takagi had imprisoned him there to embezzle the Condensed Evil Pearl.
This Condensation Pearl, which can advance summoned beasts, naturally aroused Mo Fan's interest. However, after being warned by Mochizuki Chika, Mo Fan had no choice but to give up the idea of taking the Condensation Pearl. However, the two did not know that Jiang Han had already set his sights on the Evil Condensation Pearl.
Following He Tian's instructions, Jiang Han, Mo Fan, and Wang Yue Qianxun continued to descend to the bottom of the East Guardian Pavilion. According to He Tian, the Condensed Pearl was hidden at the very bottom of the East Guardian Pavilion. However, the structure of the East Guardian Pavilion was very complicated, and without He Tian's guidance, it would have been impossible to reach the core of this cursed array.
Apart from the four guardian mages they encountered in the underground hall, Jiang Han and his companions did not encounter any other guards on the rest of the journey.
The core of the curse array is an inconspicuous little compartment, surrounded by walls on all four sides, with only one entrance at the top.
The room was empty, looking like a deserted basement. However, in the very center of the room was a strange bead emitting a scarlet light, which was none other than the Condensed Evil Bead!
"This bead seems a bit sinister, we should be careful." Mo Fan looked warily at the bead in the center of the room.
"Does Mo Fan know where this bead came from?" Jiang Han asked, looking at the Evil Condensation Bead that emitted a scarlet light.
"Do you know where this bead came from?" Mochizuki Chika looked at Jiang Han with some surprise. She didn't expect that Jiang Han would know the secret of their Shuangshou Pavilion.
"Isn't it formed by constantly absorbing the soul power of those prisoners through the curse array? This curse array is called the Ten Directions Soul Devouring Array, and it was developed by your island nation during the War of Resistance against Japan, using the lives of countless Chinese compatriots." As he spoke, Jiang Han glanced at Mochizuki Chika with a cold look.
"This..." Mochizuki Chika really didn't know this. When Jiang Han's cold gaze swept over her, she was so frightened that goosebumps rose all over her body.

"Mo Fan, do you still remember that vampire with the dark red soul we met in Shanghai?" Jiang Han said.
"Could that dark red soul be related to this East Guardian Pavilion?" Mo Fan said uncertainly.
"Hmm," Jiang Han nodded, then looked at the Condensed Evil Pearl and continued, "The essence of the Ten Directions Soul Devouring Array is to absorb the souls of evil mages within the array. The souls of evil mages are filled with all kinds of negative emotions, so negative emotions such as resentment, evil, hatred, greed, killing, and desire are also filled in the Condensed Evil Pearl."
"Furthermore, there's a dark formation within the East Guardian Pavilion. Such a dark environment easily breeds extremely evil creatures, and these creatures are known as the Crimson Demons!"
"The dark red marks that Lingling secretly investigated are actually creatures controlled by the Red Demon. As for why creatures controlled by the Red Demon can be seen in China, it's mainly because a Red Demon escaped from here several years ago!"
Mo Fan and Wang Yueqian were both terrified by Jiang Han's story, especially Wang Yueqian. As the eldest daughter of the Wang Yue family, she had never heard these secrets from anyone before, and she would never have known them if Jiang Han hadn't told her.
