Unable to Get Out (Two-in-One)
The air was silent for a moment.
The fact that she could create a ritual space indicates that the madwoman was not Spirit Puppet, but a "life" with intelligence.
However, according to the Saint's Remnant Soul, the Qionghua Sect had already been destroyed ten thousand years before he existed.
But this crazy woman has lived too long.
Twenty thousand years.
After a moment of silence, he glanced sideways at the Saint's Remnant Soul and asked in a low voice:
"Old Man Luo, do you know anything that can live for over 20,000 years?"
The Saint's Remnant Soul seemed to be pondering the same question, hesitated slightly, and shook its head:
"I'm not sure. Aside from Strange Ghost and demons, even Longevity Turtle couldn't possibly live that long."
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"You've only lived for tens of thousands of years, haven't you?"
The Saint's Remnant Soul spoke with a hint of helplessness:
"My Cultivation Method is special, and I spend most of my time in a state of slumber, not to mention..."
At this point, the Saint's Remnant Soul shrugged. "... I can't use the Daoist temple right now either."
Xu Yuan frowned. "Wasn't that black dome you built in Jingjiang Prefecture a Daoist temple?"
The Saint's Remnant Soul grinned:
"What kind of dojo is a half-baked Soul Domain? I don't even have a physical body, and I can't even refine and store Source Qi, so what do you mean by a dojo?"
Xu Yuan roughly understood.
This so-called Daoist temple should be a realm formed by the interaction of one's own Source Qi and Will Soul.
The Ghost Domain that Ghost Seven used before his death was probably similar.
With this thought in mind, Xu Yuan gathered his thoughts.
There's no point in saying more now; let's see for ourselves.
The Heaven Peering Array is an extremely practical composite formation, often engraved in conjunction with some mountain-protecting City Protection Array. It can connect the Will Soul of the person using the formation with the formation, thereby controlling other formations.
The "God's-eye view" that Xu Yuan just Xu Yuan activated the teleportation array was the effect of the Heaven Peering Array.
The moment his Will Soul connected with the formation, Xu Yuan immediately entered the state he had been in before, looking down on all things from the clouds.
However, this time it was slightly different from before, because all the arrays that could still function Dome Palace had now been activated!
After a moment of stunned silence, Xu Yuan came to his senses.
Most likely, the fight between Tianyan and that madwoman inside the mountain gate triggered the conditions for the Mountain Protection Array to activate automatically.
Collecting his thoughts, Xu Yuan began searching among the magnificent palaces for traces of Tianyan and the madwoman.
Their gaze swept across the magnificent palaces and pavilions, and soon settled on the previously seen Cherry Leech Lake.
The tranquility and peace of Cherry Leech Lake that I left behind are no longer what they were.
The Charm God Cherry Tree remains the same Charm God Cherry Tree, but the vermilion Soul-Bewildering Corridor surrounding it has been severed in the middle and collapsed onto the lake.
Besides, the lotus leaves and lotus flowers that were originally floating quietly on the water have disappeared, replaced by a dense mass of dead leeches.
Looking down from the sky, the entire lake surface was a dark, oppressive expanse!
In Cangyuan, these leeches didn't display health bars; instead, they materialized, and the entire pool of leeches was wiped out.
A quick glance around the dome revealed only a scene of utter devastation; Tianyan and the madwoman were no longer there.
Looking along the craters created by the aftershocks of the battle,
final,
Xu Yuan found the two above a cluster of palaces.
The battle between Tianyan and the madwoman continued, with the aftershocks of the battle causing one palace after another to collapse, and smoke and dust almost shrouding the entire area.
Just as Xu Yuan had predicted.
That madwoman was the same BOSS in the Sect Master's Bedchamber. She looked similar to the one in Cangyuan, dressed in red with disheveled hair, constantly muttering nonsensical phrases like "kill you," "impossible," and "all dead."
At the same time, Xu Yuan also saw the so-called Daoist temple for the first time.
With the aid of the Heaven Peering Array, Xu Yuan could vaguely see ethereal palaces floating a hundred feet around the woman in red, their forms shifting like clouds. Celestial music filled the air, and beautiful women in sheer veils moved about among them, their seductive voices never ceasing, a scene of springtime splendor.
Even just using the formation to observe the clouds and mist, Xu Yuan's mind swayed, and he stared blankly at the madwoman's Dao Domain.
In a short while,
A jumble of desires began to rise in his heart, and his breathing gradually became rapid.
The Wenyuan Pavilion was filled with an antique charm. The Spirit Puppet Matron still stood there, while Ran Qingmo sat in front of the array platform, resting with her eyes closed.
Xu Yuan subconsciously walked towards her, who was resting with her eyes closed. His gaze was fixed on the glistening skin revealed by the torn clothes of the Big Ice Block. When he got closer, he bowed and raised his hand.
"Concentrate!"
The Saint's Remnant Soul let out a low growl.
Xu Yuan instantly regained consciousness.
Ran Qingmo slowly opened her eyes, looking at Xu Yuan's outstretched hand that froze in mid-air with a hint of confusion, and asked:
"Xu Yuan... what's wrong?"
The voice remained cold and detached.
Xu Yuan remained silent for a few moments, then pointed to the hole in her clothes without changing his expression, and said:
"Your clothes are torn, remember to change into something else later."
Ran Qingmo looked down and nodded:
"Okay."
After saying that, she blinked, waiting for his next words.
Xu Yuan coughed lightly:
That's all.
Upon hearing this, Ran Qingmo immediately closed her eyes and continued to rest.
Xu Yuan took a deep breath, and then heard the Saint's Remnant Soul laugh in his heart:
"As expected of the Qionghua Sect, which is a descendant of the Joyous Union Sect, this madwoman's dojo is indeed quite interesting. If one is not careful, one will be drawn into it."
Xu Yuan's voice was cold. "You did this on purpose?"
The Saint's Remnant Soul replied with a smile:
"Let me show you what it's like to be in the Dao Domain. Besides, it's bound to happen sooner or later anyway. And didn't I stop you at the end?"
Xu Yuan wanted to curse, but ultimately held back, only whispering:
"Protect my mind in a moment."
The Saint's Remnant Soul smiled without saying a word.
Xu Yuan once again immersed his mind in the Heaven Peering Array.
Tianyan and the madwoman in red were still in the same place, and the Daoist temple formed by clouds and mist remained unchanged.
However, with the support of the Saint's Remnant Soul, he was no longer affected by it.
Looking intently,
Xu Yuan discovered that these magnificent buildings were merely a facade, concealing a hidden murderous intent.
Whenever celestial music plays, and whenever the women dance gracefully, waves of vibrations explode around the young girl Tianyan!
The strong wind pressure made the girl's light red palace dress flutter loudly.
Just as the Saint's Remnant Soul said, Tianyan's strength is truly formidable.
Surrounded by the red-clad woman's dojo, Tianyan seemed completely unaffected by the seductive music. His face remained cold as he neither dodged nor avoided the music. His red lips parted slightly, and one "Heavenly Word Mantra after another was continuously uttered from his mouth.
With each word Tianyan uttered, even within her own Dao Domain, the woman in red was forced to flee in a disheveled state.
The barefoot girl stood firmly in place like a cannon emplacement.
Upon seeing this, Xu Yuan felt a slight sense of doubt.
Didn't Ran Qingmo just say that Tianyan couldn't beat this crazy woman?
From the current situation below, it seems that Tianyan is suppressing that crazy woman.
"Old Man Luo, can you see down there?" Xu Yuan suddenly asked.
"Of course it is possible." The voice of the Saint's Remnant Soul was devoid of its previous laughter.
While observing the battle from the sky, Xu Yuan asked:
What's wrong with that crazy woman?
The voice of the Saint's Remnant Soul was somewhat hesitant:
"Something's weird."
Xu Yuan frowned:
"Strange? What do you mean?"
"She is a spirit, just like me."
"."
The air was silent for a moment.
Xu Yuan asked in a deep voice:
"Soul?"
"Didn't you just say that since the soul cannot condense Source Qi, it cannot use the Dao field?"
"That's why I said it was eerie," the Saint's Remnant Soul replied.
"You don't know the reason?"
"."
The Saint's Remnant Soul remained silent for a moment, then said softly:
"Young Xu, the world is so big, there are many things I don't know."
Xu Yuan remained silent.
The old man's encyclopedia became useless at this moment.
However, the old man himself seemed quite indifferent. After a pause, he asked softly.
"Young Xu, what do you plan to do now?"
"How to do it?"
Xu Yuan murmured to himself, frowning in deep thought.
He now has three paths before him.
The first rule is to help that Red-Clothed Madwoman kill Tianyan.
The second step is to go to the Sect Master's Bedchamber of the Qionghua Sect.
Now that the Red-Clothed Madwoman has run out of the BOSS room, the area is empty, making it a perfect opportunity to sneak in and steal all the treasures inside.
The third option is to simply run away.
Now that he has the Nine Origin Calming Art in hand, he has achieved his goal for this trip.
Now that we know that Tianyan cannot predict his future, it is naturally impossible to locate his position through deduction.
The reason we were able to find him before was probably because his Coiled Dragon carriage was too flashy.
Although this world possesses extraordinary qualities, the Great Yan Dynasty is still an imperial dynasty, and some feudal rules still exist. To have a black and gold Coiled Dragon tattooed on a carriage while traveling through the city is equivalent to wearing a dragon robe and strolling around the streets; it's hard not to attract attention.
Of the fourteen continents of the Great Yan Dynasty, even the smallest, Daze Continent, spans tens of thousands of miles. In this relatively isolated world, Prime Minister's Estate wouldn't dare claim that they could accurately locate a single person within it.
After leaving, keep a low profile and use the common name Zhou Chen. It will be almost impossible for the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion to find him again.
After a moment's thought, Xu Yuan said in a low voice:
"I want to kill Tianyan."
Since the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion is already an enemy, killing their Holy Maiden would be like cutting off one of their arms!
"You want to kill that girl?"
The Saint's Remnant Soul sounded somewhat surprised, but didn't say anything, only asking, "How do you plan to kill him? Using an array?"
Xu Yuan shook his head:
"Naturally, we'll help the woman in red. Ran Qingmo and I have identities within the Qionghua Sect."
Stop dreaming.
The Saint's Remnant Soul suddenly interrupted, saying in a deep voice, "After you go there, that woman will definitely kill you too. She's not like Spirit Puppet, something that only knows how to follow the rules."
"."
Xu Yuan frowned but did not reply immediately.
In Cangyuan, first obtain the Charm God Cherry Tree and give it a blessing before going to the Sect Master's Bedchamber. As long as the player doesn't mess with the treasures inside, the madwoman won't attack the player. It's like having a pass that allows free entry and exit from the Sect Master's Bedchamber.
This is also the basis for Xu Yuan's proposal.
However, after a moment's thought, Xu Yuan ultimately decided to abandon the plan.
The risk is too great. If Tianyan is killed, and that crazy woman goes out of control, both he and Ran Qingmo, who are both at the first rank of cultivation, will perish here.
"In that case, let's just leave."
The Saint's Remnant Soul breathed a slight sigh of relief, his tone returning to ease, and he offered the following words of advice:
"Actually, Xu boy, you don't need to worry too much. Even if we don't help, Tianyan probably won't be a match for this crazy woman."
"Heh. Although it looks like Tianyan is the one beating that crazy woman, she's actually not injured at all."
"."
Xu Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and turned his attention back to the battle below.
The Saint's Remnant Soul exerted its full power to help Xu Yuan investigate.
With the blessing of Old Man Luo's soul power, Xu Yuan could now clearly see every detail of the spring-filled dojo below.
And just as the Saint's Remnant Soul said.
The Heavenly Word Mantra uttered by the young girl Tianyan, such as "Slash," "Break," "Shield," and "Stabilize," only caused some superficial injuries to the woman in red. The spring-colored aura surrounding her remained as stable as ever. On the contrary, an unnatural blush gradually appeared on Tianyan's cold face.
Tianyan is gradually falling victim to the trap.
Upon seeing this, Xu Yuan immediately laughed.
The suppressed feeling instantly lifted.
Do you like following me?
Even if you have a trump card to survive the level 80 dungeon this time, I'll just go straight to the level 95 dungeon and beat you up next time.
Withdrawing his attention from the Heaven Peering Array, and adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Xu Yuan had Ran Qingmo use the Great Elder's token to select a Secret Method.
It's a pity that Qionghua Sect is an evil sect. If it were Su the Succubus, she might have been able to thrive there, but for Ran Qingmo, the various Cultivation Method and secret manuals in the Wenyuan Pavilion seemed somewhat unsuitable.
After spending the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he selected only the most valuable book on seduction techniques, intending to exchange it for money.
In a quarter of an hour, Big Ice Block had memorized all the contents of the Secret Method.
When everything was ready, Xu Yuan led Ran Qingmo to stand on the array platform.
At this time,
The young woman who had been standing silently to the side suddenly spoke up:
"Your Holiness, are you leaving?"
Xu Yuan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this and turned to look.
The Spirit Puppet resembling a young woman stood below the array platform, gazing at them, its beautiful eyes shimmering with a certain light.
After a moment's hesitation, Xu Yuan nodded. "Mm."
The young woman opened her mouth, but ultimately, with a smile in her eyes, she said softly:
"Goodbye."
"."
Xu Yuan was puzzled, but he didn't investigate further.
Now, their top priority is to flee.
A flash of white light, and Wenyuan Pavilion fell silent.
A glint of light flashed in the young woman's eyes. She bowed slightly to the platform where the two had disappeared, then silently turned and walked towards the ancient bookshelf, continuing her age-old work.
Dome Mountain, on its mountainside.
The grand entrance to the mountain gate is dozens of feet high and made of white jade. It is decorated with dragons and phoenixes, and amidst the swirling clouds and mist, one can vaguely see the bustling scene of immortals coming and going in the past.
In Cangyuan, the exit of this instance is located at the mountain gate of the Dome Palace.
Recovering from the dizziness brought on by the teleportation, Xu Yuan immediately spoke up.
"Old Man Luo, there should be a teleportation array here. Activate it, and we'll leave."
The Saint's Remnant Soul remained still, only asking:
"Young Xu, is this where you think you can get out of this mess?"
Xu Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled:
"Yes, what's wrong?"
The voice of the Saint's Remnant Soul was somewhat strange:
"Are there any other places we can get out?"
Old Man Luo's words made Xu Yuan feel a vague unease:
There's only this one place.
Then, he asked hesitantly, "Is this teleportation array broken?"
The Saint's Remnant Soul shook his head and said in a low voice:
"It's not broken, but the Mountain Protection Array gate has been activated, and the exit is now sealed."
"We can't get out now."
cough.
It's getting late, sorry.
