My understanding is incredible: I gained enlightenment and immortality in the Kunlun Demon Kingdom

"Are you alright?" Tian Siyao asked with concern.

Chen Ze gritted his teeth and shook his head without showing any weakness.

"I'm fine, keep holding off the evil spirit!"

Tian Siyao admired his courage, but she also knew that time was of the essence.

So she focused intently on setting up the formation, immersing herself completely in it.

Her fingers moved rapidly, each movement precise and accurate.

Tian Siyao deciphered the runes and incantations on the magic array, as if conversing with the wisdom passed down from her ancestors.

"It'll be soon!" she said to herself.

Upon hearing this, Qin Miyue's spirits lifted, and her anxious expression turned into determination.

“I’m almost done!” she exclaimed.

The hall was filled with suffocating energy fluctuations, and the evil spirits, sensing the threat, began to ram the barrier even more frantically.

Just as Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue were gathering energy, an evil spirit broke through Chen Ze's attack and pounced on Tian Siyao.

Chen Ze reacted instantly, leaping into the air and thrusting his sword at the evil spirit's body. But just as the sword was about to strike, the evil spirit suddenly became blurry, its ghostly figure merging into the magic array.

Intense energy fluctuations enveloped the entire hall, and Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue immediately stopped what they were doing.

"What happened?" Tian Siyao asked in surprise.

"This is an illusion! They're going to detonate the magic array!" Qin Miyue shouted alertly.

After hearing this, Chen Ze ignored the evil spirit and rushed to Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue.

To their astonishment, he wielded his sword, slaying the evil spirits one by one.

They discovered that as long as they could sever the illusion connecting the magic circle, the enemies in the hall would reveal their true forms.

"Seize the opportunity! Continue making arrangements!" Chen Ze urged impatiently.

Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue immediately snapped out of their daze and, under Chen Ze's cover, resumed setting up the formation.

They were of one mind and worked together with increasing tacit understanding.

Suddenly, the energy fluctuations within the magic circle intensified, as if the entire hall was about to collapse. Tian Siyao's gaze locked onto a mechanism in the corner of the underground hall; she clearly saw that it was the key to controlling the trap.

The evil spirits struggled amidst the shadows of the swords, but Chen Ze's sword remained steady and sharp.

Tian Siyao knew they needed to buy more time for the trap to work.

"Chen Ze, can you continue to resist the evil spirits?" Tian Siyao asked anxiously.

Despite his injuries, Chen Ze did not back down in the slightest.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best! Go and activate the magic array!" he replied firmly.

Upon hearing this, a glint of confidence flashed in Tian Siyao's eyes. She took a deep breath and turned her gaze back to the mechanism. She knew this was her only chance to save the team.

Focusing her attention, she began to carefully observe the symbols on the mechanism.

Incantations and interpretive symbols flashed through her mind like lightning.

Gradually, Tian Siyao focused all her attention on analyzing the mechanism.

Qin Miyue stared intently at the movements of the evil spirits, her expression anxious and uneasy.

She sensed Tian Siyao's confidence, but also understood that time was running out.

After a quick calculation and judgment, Tian Siyao finally made up her mind.

She knew now was the perfect time to trigger the trap.

Tian Siyao quickly took action.

She quickly took out a red silk thread, tied it to the mechanism, and cut off the remaining part.

As the silk thread was broken, the air in the entire hall seemed to freeze.

The evil spirits smelled the strange odor in the air and angrily twisted their bodies, attacking Chen Ze even closer.

Chen Ze, with his agile movements, repeatedly dodged fatal attacks, keeping them firmly at bay. Tian Siyao seized the opportunity and turned her gaze to the wall where the trap was located.

Once the mechanism was triggered, the massive iron chains began to loosen and quickly slipped down, forming a huge and deadly trap in the hall.

"Now!" Tian Siyao shouted.

Qin Miyue immediately understood what she meant.

She used her talisman magic at top speed, sending beams of light straight towards the evil spirits.

The skillful and precise talismans, carrying powerful energy, exploded on the bodies of the evil spirits.

The evil spirits let out a sinister scream as they tried to escape the trap.

However, the huge iron chains tightly bound them, restricting their movement.

The evil spirits struggled within the enormous iron chains.

However, the black aura grew stronger and stronger, gradually spiraling out of control.

A terrifying power filled the entire mysterious hall, making the air heavy and eerie.

Chen Ze gripped the sword hilt tightly, watching the writhing evil spirits.

He felt the pressure increasing; time was running out.

He turned to Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue and shouted, "We must leave here as soon as possible! The evil spirits' control is gradually weakening."

Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue exchanged a glance; they both knew Chen Ze was right.

The black aura not only made the evil spirits more dangerous, but also instilled in them a sense of urgency to escape the ancient tomb.

"Find the exit quickly!" Tian Siyao shouted.

Qin Miyue looked around, trying to find a safe passage.

Her gaze swept across every corner of the mysterious hall, searching for clues that might lead to the exit.

"Over there!" Qin Miyue suddenly pointed to the crack reflected on the wall on one side of the hall.

Tian Siyao and Chen Ze immediately looked in the indicated direction and indeed found a small crack in a huge stone wall.

They rushed toward the crevice, but the black current spread even faster.

The evil spirits became even more agitated under the chains, constantly twisting their bodies in an attempt to break free.

Tian Siyao tried her best to untangle the red threads in the mechanism, hoping to weaken the evil spirits.

But the black aura made her feel increasingly powerless, and controlling the mechanism became more and more difficult. At this moment, Chen Ze stepped forward and swung his sword, displaying powerful sword energy.

The evil spirits were finally defeated by Chen Ze's swordsmanship, but as they fell, a black aura suddenly spread out.

An evil and powerful force permeated the hall, making it feel suffocating.

Chen Ze frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

He looked at Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue and found that they had also sensed the presence of this evil power.

Chen Ze said anxiously, "This force is getting stronger and stronger, and I'm afraid we don't have much time left to leave."

Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue nodded, fully aware of the urgency of the situation.

The black aura not only exacerbated the evil spirits' rage but also made leaving the ancient tomb more difficult.

"Quick! Follow me!" Qin Miyue quickly guided everyone to run towards the small gap.

But just as they were about to enter the crevice, the black air currents spread out like a dragon.

The hall, shrouded in mist, became even more eerie and terrifying.

Tian Siyao tried her best to untangle the red threads in the mechanism, but she found that the red threads had been corroded by the black airflow and were becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

These changes made her extremely anxious, but she gritted her teeth and continued to work hard.

"Tian Siyao, hurry up!" Chen Ze shouted anxiously, his eyes fixed on the spread of the black aura.

He clearly sensed that the evil spirits were drawing ever closer to being freed from their bondage. (End of Chapter)
