Every second counts.

The stalemate between Lin Xi and the elders of the Liu family, who pursued one while the other fled, continued.

As Elder Mu and the others continued to attack, their martial arts techniques bombarded the Soul Cleansing Lock's protective shield, causing its energy to weaken more and more.

"We're almost there, just hang in there a little longer."

At this moment, Lin Xi's face turned pale due to the excessive consumption of magical power.

Fortunately, her magic power had already changed from Ice Soul Magic Power to Pure Void Magic Power; otherwise, if it were still Ice Soul Magic Power, she would have exhausted her magic power long ago, even if she had broken through to the Ascended Emperor Realm.

One minute...

Three minutes...

Five minutes...

Ten minutes...

After the escape lasted for fifteen minutes, Lin Xi finally arrived at the entrance of Xuanhuang Valley.

At the same time, the power of the Soul Cleansing Lock also collapsed without the infusion of magic power.

"Now!"

Lin Xi's eyes were like torches, and he transformed into a sword beam that instantly disappeared into Xuanhuang Valley.

But the moment she stepped in, a dazzling golden light flashed out, and a golden world engulfed Lin Xi, making her disappear.

"This is... the protective formation of Xuanhuang Valley?!"

Outside, Elder Mu and the others who arrived one after another were all taken aback when they saw Lin Xi being engulfed by the golden light.

Xuanhuang Valley is a forbidden area of ​​the Xuanling Sect, so it is usually equipped with powerful formations.

Even the Xuanhuang Valley is equipped with an ancient, lost, Saint-level grand formation!

"Where is this?"

After Lin Xi disappeared into the golden light, she found herself in a vast, boundless golden ocean.

Surrounded by a golden ocean, Lin Xi felt a scorching heat rush towards him.

This is extremely pure Crimson Sun Power!

"This is... the Nine Yang Sealing Formation?!"

She was very familiar with this formation; it was the same formation she and Chu Yang had encountered when they secretly infiltrated Xuanhuang Valley.

It is a Saint-level ancient formation, extremely ancient and rare.

But isn't this formation on the third level of Xuanhuang Valley? How come it's appearing directly on the first level?

"Something must have happened in Xuanhuang Valley. Chu Yang and the others should be taking action now."

"I'm lucky. Although I've entered an ancient formation, I still remember the method Chu Yang taught me to break it. As long as I follow the method, this formation won't be able to trap me, and it can even help me defend against enemies outside."

Lin Xi was secretly delighted; she could now be considered safe.

She began to follow the steps in her mind to enter the core formation, attempting to reach the third level and find Chu Yang.

However, she stopped halfway there.

"Wait, Chu Yang and the others should be dealing with the Xuanhuang True Flame right now. It must be very dangerous there. It would be absolutely unsafe for me to go there."

"You can come and go freely here, but it's better to just wait here until they've finished dealing with the Xuanhuang Valley matter before going out."

Lin Xi thought this method was good, since she was safe for the time being.

This way, she won't hold Chu Yang back, and he won't blame her later.

After making up his mind, Lin Xi stayed obediently in the Nine Yang Seal Formation and did not take any further action.

Time passed little by little.

But not long after, several figures appeared one after another within the dazzling golden array.

Those were Elder Mu, Elder Tang, Elder Qi, and others from the Liu family lineage.

"Damn it, they're actually going to go inside the formation to chase after us!?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Lin Xi cursed angrily and immediately took flight, heading towards the depths of the formation.

"Chase!"

Sensing Lin Xi's presence again, Elder Mu ordered an immediate pursuit.

Their intrusion into the Nine Yang Sealing Formation wasn't just to capture her; their main concern was that she might reveal Liu's secrets.

At such a critical moment, they naturally dared not be careless.

Moreover, after thousands of years of dormancy, they have gained a certain understanding of this Nine Yang Sealing Formation. Although they cannot control the formation, they know how to retreat safely.

Unlike this girl and the headless fly.

The chase continued within the Nine Yang Sealing Formation.

As Lin Xi fled, she considered whether or not to escape the great formation.

After all, the only way for her to get rid of them was to escape this formation.

But if she can break away, how can she guarantee that the Liu family lineage is not up to par?

Did they really dare to come in blindly?

They probably don't yet realize how familiar she is with the formation.

This was her only chance to escape the clutches of the Liu family.

If anything goes wrong, I'll be captured before I even reach the third level of Xuanhuang Valley.

Swish swish swish—

Just as Lin Xi's thoughts were racing wildly, several figures in black robes disappeared into the formation from its depths.

Their panicked manner suggested a lack of coordination, as if they had encountered some great terror and were fleeing.

"Damn it, I never expected there to be a Great Emperor hiding here! He almost wiped out my Evil Spirit Cult!"

"Our two Grand Protectors are now severely injured and captured. If we don't escape this great formation, our Evil Spirit Cult will surely be wiped out by the Profound Spirit Sect!"

"We must escape from here and report back to the Holy Church. The legendary Asura Demon Body really does exist here! Continue using the Compass of Innocence."

"Wait, there's someone inside the formation?!"

"Could it be an elder from the Xuanling Sect who has been lying in wait?!"

Several black-robed figures who had broken into the Nine Yang Sealing Formation immediately saw Lin Xi and his group rushing towards them from not far ahead.

They had retreated from the third level of Xuanhuang Valley because they were trapped in the center of the great formation.

It was clear that Lin Xi's approach had run into them.

"Should we kill these people right now?"

Upon seeing Lin Xi and his group approaching, the men in black robes immediately calmed down and exchanged bewildered glances.

"Wow!"

"We're truly caught between a rock and a hard place!"

Lin Xi was startled when he saw nearly ten men in black robes suddenly appear in front of him.

These people have a strange aura; they are definitely not from his Xuanling Sect.

The Xuanhuang True Flame has awakened tonight. Could it be that they've also come for the Xuanhuang True Flame?!

Could it be the demonic forces that Chu Yang had mentioned before, those who coveted the Xuanhuang True Flame and the Asura Demon Body?

"......"

"Wait, they don't seem to know who we are either..."

Suddenly remembering something, Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and her figure, which had paused, continued to rush into the depths.

He was getting closer and closer to the members of the evil cult.

"What's going on?!"

Positioned at the rear, the Liu family, led by Elder Mu, began to feel somewhat at a loss when faced with the sudden appearance of several men in black robes.

Logically speaking, these people shouldn't be in Xuanhuang Valley.

Where did this come from?

"Esteemed seniors, the villains have been exposed, their plan has failed, and they are attempting to escape from Xuanhuang Valley."

"If we capture them, we can resolve this crisis!"

"Esteemed seniors, rid my Xuanling Sect of this scourge!"

While the Liu family was filled with suspicion, Lin Xi, who was positioned between the two sides, suddenly shouted and pulled the two sides closer and closer.

"What? The plan failed?!"

Behind them, Elder Mu and the others listened to Lin Xi's words, and when they saw the dozens of black-robed men in front of them, their pupils suddenly shrank.

They didn't recognize these people; they weren't from the Liu family. Had their plan really failed? Were they here to clean up their mess?!

???

In contrast to Liu's fear and suspicion, the members of the evil spirit cult were already on high alert.

Because everyone infiltrating the Xuanling Sect except themselves were enemies.

"Kill them as quickly as possible!!"

"kill!!"
