Fantasy: I'm in a discarded alchemy room, but I can turn trash into treasure!

Above the Xuan Yin Burial Valley, the red distress light had not yet dissipated.

All the rogue cultivators outside the valley looked up, but none of them moved forward.

"The people from Yunyu Palace are still alive."

Someone grasped the ritual implement at their waist, and after speaking, took two steps back.

"It's no use being alive; even Nascent Soul cultivators don't dare to go in there casually."

The other person glanced at the dark valley entrance, then turned and left.

Xiao Wu'e, hiding behind a broken rock outside the valley, listened to these discussions without the slightest change in his expression.

He had waited so long for this distress signal.

He had already tampered with the formation in the Xuan Yin Burial Valley beforehand.

Those inside the valley couldn't get out, and those outside dared not go in.

As long as Qin Mo hears the news, he will definitely come.

He doesn't need Qin Mo to bring many people.

As long as Qin Mo shows up, he can complete the task Xiao Tianci entrusted to him.

Inside the valley, the blood-eyed ghost pounced on the defensive light shield once again.

As the black claw descended, several fine cracks immediately appeared on the array surface.

A chilling aura seeped in, and the ground was covered with white frost. Several female disciples with low cultivation levels could no longer stand steadily.

Xu Qingqing pressed down on the array flag, her wrist trembling slightly.

"Senior sister, the array base is about to collapse."

Su Qingyi sat cross-legged in front of the array, continuously pouring spiritual energy into the array patterns.

Her face turned pale, but she still didn't stop.

"Hold the formation, and don't worry about whether anyone comes from outside."

Xu Qingqing pursed her lips and activated the talisman again.

A sword light slashed out from the side of the formation, scattering the approaching ghostly figures.

The ghostly figures dispersed into black mist, only to regroup upon landing, their numbers increasing in number.

Su Qingyi glanced around.

"Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be crippled first."

Upon hearing this, the previously panicked people all gritted their teeth and stood firm.

They knew that once the formation was broken, everyone would be dragged away by these ghostly things.

At this point, no one could save them; they had to endure it on their own.

Outside the valley, Xiao Wu'e suddenly sensed someone approaching from a distance.

He concealed his breathing completely, and his footsteps were silent.

He pressed his hand on the black jade pendant at his waist, and his figure quietly sank into the shadow behind the broken stone.

The figure walked from the end of the mountain path.

She wore a white dress, a black veil, and her long hair was tied back.

She didn't walk fast, and she didn't emit much spiritual power, but with each step she took, the surrounding mist would recede on its own.

Xiao Wu'e stared at her for a few moments, his gaze gradually darkening.

He recognized that figure.

Chu Wuming.

That guy who killed Xiao Chengyue, stole the seven natal flying swords of the Xiao family, and severely injured Xiao Tianci's battle puppet in Leize.

This time, however, the other person had changed their attire, wearing a white robe and covering their face.

"Chu Wuming, when did you learn to hide under women's clothes?"

Xiao Wu'e gripped the sword hilt with his five fingers, his voice very low.

The woman in white stopped in her tracks.

She didn't turn around, she just turned her head to the side.

You've mistaken me for someone else.

Xiao Wu'e stepped out from behind the broken rock, and the spiritual energy beneath his feet suddenly exploded.

He didn't give the other person a chance to continue speaking, and his longsword went straight for the back of the neck, the blade flashing with a black light.

Just as the tip of the sword was about to touch the black veil, the woman in white turned around.

She raised her hand and pressed down.

The mist at the valley entrance immediately froze, and large patches of frost rose from the ground, climbing up Xiao Wu'e's legs.

Xiao Wu'e's sword stopped in mid-air, his arms, shoulders, and chest all covered in white frost.

He couldn't even blink.

The woman in white stood before him, looking at the sealed body through the black veil.

"Did the Xiao family send you to guard this place?"

Xiao Wu'e clenched his teeth.

He didn't expect that the other party even knew his identity, and he didn't expect that he would be suppressed by the other party's Dao Domain as soon as he made a move.

Xuan Tian Dao Domain.

He had seen this power in the records of the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect.

Once a Golden Core cultivator is trapped, he cannot even escape.

The woman in white raised her hand, and a frost-colored cone of light condensed in her palm, pointing directly at Xiao Wu'e's brow.

"Waiting for Qin Mo to arrive?"

Xiao Wu'e's eyes darted around, and he finally realized that the other party was definitely not Chu Wuming.

Chu Wuming cultivates the Five Elements Qi and Blood, making him ridiculously strong in close combat, but he has never used the Xuan Tian Dao Domain.

More importantly, this woman possessed the aura of Shangguan Yue, the Holy Maiden of the Xuantian Immortal Sect.

It's not him/her.

It is a puppet clone.

Xiao Wu'e's dantian trembled violently, and a thin crack appeared on the surface of his golden core.

The moment the frost-colored light cone in the white-clad woman's hand struck down, Xiao Wu'e's figure vanished into the thick layer of frost.

The light cone pierced the air and struck the ground.

The entire ice sheet was shattered, and frost fragments scattered everywhere.

The distant void distorted, and Xiao Wu'e fell out from it.

He braced himself on the ground with one hand, a metallic taste of blood rising in his throat, his chest heaving violently.

Teleportation through the void.

This was his trump card for escaping.

Forcibly using this technique at the peak of the Golden Core stage comes at a great cost.

Most of the spiritual energy in his body was gone, and even his consciousness became dull.

But he couldn't afford to recover; he looked up and stared at the woman in white at the entrance of the valley.

"Mysterious Heaven Dao Domain, Moon Shadow Battle Puppet"

Xiao Wu'e wiped the blood from his mouth, his face extremely pale.

"Did Shangguan Yue send you to kill Qin Mo?"

The woman in white withdrew her hand, and the frost slowly dissipated beneath her feet.

"You recognized me?"

Xiao Wu'e's eyes were gloomy.

"I've seen Shangguan Yue's battle puppet. The moon marrow aura on your body, and this Dao Domain, can't fool me."

The woman in white did not respond.

Xiao Wu'e seized the opportunity and pressed his palm against the jade pendant at his waist.

As long as he can activate the grand formation of the Xuan Yin Burial Valley, he can use the ghost shadow to hold off this battle puppet.

Once Xiao Tianci arrives, the current trouble will naturally be dealt with.

But as soon as he raised his hand, a line of frost pierced through the void.

The jade pendant broke in half and fell to the ground.

Xiao Wu'e stopped moving, his expression completely changing.

"You can even see the array formation?"

The woman in white stepped on the jade pendant.

Her face was covered by a black veil, but her voice carried a hint of coldness.

"The person you were waiting for didn't come, but I did first."

Xiao Wu'e did not speak again.

He turned and ran away.

He channeled all the remaining spiritual energy in his body into his legs, leaving several afterimages behind him.

But after running only ten zhang, the surrounding air condensed into white frost, blocking all their path.

The woman in white raised her right hand.

The Xuan Tian Dao Domain unfolds once again.

The frost pressed down from the valley entrance, sealing the rocks, trees, and mist into a solidified white expanse.

Xiao Wu'e's protective aura shattered continuously, and his feet were also locked by frost patterns.

He desperately activated his golden core, his hands forming several hand seals.

A bolt of black lightning shot out from his palm and crashed into the frost curtain in front of him.

Before the lightning could strike the woman in white, it was crushed by layers of frost.

Xiao Wu'e felt a tightness in his chest and knelt down on the ground.

Inside the valley, Su Qingyi heard the commotion outside and immediately looked up.

Outside the defensive light shield, the blood-eyed ghost was still howling.

But the oppressive frost had already stopped all the ghostly figures in their tracks.

Xu Qingqing stared at the valley entrance, her voice strained.

"Someone outside is making a move."

Su Qingyi gripped the battle flag tightly.

"Hold on a little longer."

She didn't know who the person who came was, nor whether the person could stop the person behind the scenes.

Just then, Xiao Wu'e's voice, filled with suppressed anger, came from outside the valley.

"Shangguan Yue, if you dare kill me, the Xiao family will never let you get away with this!"

The woman in white finally removed the black veil from her face.

That face was exactly the same as Shangguan Yue's, but its expression was devoid of any warmth.

She raised her hand and waved it, and a monstrous frost aura surged from the Xuan Tian Dao Domain, rushing straight down on Xiao Wu'e.
