The incident happened so suddenly that Yu Qingcheng and the other two instinctively leaped backward at Yunxi's warning. Once they had retreated from the swamp, Liu Haotian immediately said:
"Not good! Yunxi is trapped!"
The swamp had already been shrouded by a red barrier of light.
Yu Qingcheng swiftly slashed out with her sword. Fiery sword light crashed against the blood-red barrier, but her attack was dissolved.
Xia You asked:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, what is going on?"
Liu Haotian did not answer. Instead, his hands rapidly formed seals before he called out:
"Follow me. We need to attack this formation's weak point. I hope fellow Daoist Wei can hold on until we break it."
A chill flashed through Yu Qingcheng's phoenix eyes. Her figure flickered as she followed him, with Xia You close behind.
Yunxi, trapped within the formation, was currently swinging her staff in attack. She could feel the Spiritual Qi in her body draining away at a rapid pace, yet she did not dare pause in the slightest. Instead, she chose to pour even more spiritual power into the Deadly Staff. She had to destroy the Nine Coffins beneath the ground.
While this formation trapped her, it was also constantly extracting the Spiritual Qi from her body to nourish the Nine Coffins buried underground. The formation had clearly been specially arranged by an evil cultivator, ensuring that even if cultivators found this place, they would not be able to escape unharmed.
Yunxi had reacted so quickly only because of Dian Dian's warning. Unfortunately, her teammates had gotten out while she herself had been trapped.
"Master, what should we do? Dian Dian's Spiritual Qi is also draining away."
Although Dian Dian did not want to disturb its master, the situation was becoming rather dire. It had to remind her.
