A Certain-Death Predicament

Cao Yi and the other two were not slow. They arrived at the Cloud Sea a quarter of an hour after Xun Kun and the other two left.

When the three appeared together, they saw Spirit Transformation cultivators from other regions watching from afar, with no intention of stepping forward. A Flying Boat hovered steadily above the Cloud Sea.

"That is Venerable Ranxi's Flying Boat."

Zhang Lingrui recognized it at a glance.

The three then flashed aboard the Flying Boat. The cultivators watching nearby did not stop them. Dressed in Haoran Sect robes and all being Spirit Transformation cultivators, they were clearly people Venerable Ranxi had summoned. No one wished to make a nuisance of themselves.

Once aboard the Flying Ship, they saw Ranxi observing the sea below.

"Greetings, Venerable Ranxi!"

The three cupped their hands and bowed in unison.

"No need for formalities."

Ranxi turned to Cao Yi and said,

"This is the Sealed Land of the Evil God's body. You may now set up the final formation. I will assist you. Be sure to complete it before the second seal is undone. That is my only request."

Cao Yi felt somewhat excited upon hearing this. The day had finally come.

He had originally thought there would still be some time, which was why he had chosen to return to the sect for secluded cultivation. Throughout his retreat, he had continued rehearsing the setup of the final core formation on the formation disk. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance, so he immediately nodded and said,

"Venerable, I will begin setting up the formation now."

After exchanging a glance, Lin Keyang and Zhang Lingrui said at the same time,

"We will guard Cao Yi."

Yunxi nodded. Although Wei Yunqing had been killed, she still had a very bad feeling.
