Yunxi immediately knew this was the backup plan left behind by the evil cultivators. She swallowed a top-grade Spirit-Replenishing Pill, flashed out of the formation, and swept her sleeve to retrieve the formation disk into her Storage Ring.
Seeing its master emerge, Dian Dian immediately leaped into Yunxi's arms. It still felt safest there.
At this moment, Yu Qingcheng, Liu Haotian, and Xia You also came to Yunxi's side. None of them looked well, especially Liu Haotian. The first thing he said upon seeing Yunxi was:
"Daoist Wei, this is the evil cultivators' lair. They left behind a backup plan. This space has already been locked down, and everything here will be ground to pieces. We can't leave!"
"Tch, ruthless enough to spare not even themselves."
Yunxi frowned.

"I tried just now. They don't work."
Yu Qingcheng narrowed her phoenix eyes.
"The evil cultivators are trying to cut off all clues that might lead us to them. That's why they're doing this."

"But what?"
"It needs top-grade spirit stones to activate."
Yunxi made her decision at once.
"Quick, have it lead the way. Escaping comes first."
"Yes, Master!"
Dian Dian began communicating with the Rosy Cloud Butterfly, while Yunxi called out loudly:
"Follow me. I contracted a Rosy Cloud Butterfly. It says there's a damaged Teleportation Formation here
