Inside Heavenly Punishment Mountain.
Tang Yan tossed the woman he had abducted onto the ground.
"Yan'er, who is this?" Zhong Jinxiu asked in surprise.
"An Otherworlder I caught on the way. There's a formation on the iron chains binding you, Mother. To get you out without alerting the Otherworld Ruins, I need a substitute," Tang Yan explained casually, then added, "Grandfather's negotiations with the Otherworld Ruins failed. This is the only way."
With that, a mass of formation points emerged before Tang Yan.
The formation points combined according to a profound pattern, gradually forming a line. One end connected to the iron chains, the other to the Fox-Demon Other-Race Person, while its middle passed through Zhong Jinxiu.
Then the Heaven-Earth Creation Flame appeared and melted the iron rings fastened through his mother's shoulders.
With a pulse of spirit power, the iron rings fell from his mother's body, and blood immediately gushed out.
Tang Yan placed a Blood-Coagulating Pill in his mother's mouth, fastened the iron rings through the Fox-Demon Other-Race Person's shoulders, and activated the Stars-Shifting Array, taking his mother out of the iron cage.
"Relations between the Otherworld Ruins and Heaven's Punishment are tense right now. Heaven's Punishment's higher-ups aren't safe.
For now, don't tell anyone you've gotten out, Mother.
This mask can change your appearance.
Before the curse appears, taking the pills in this bottle can conceal your aura and keep outsiders from detecting you. When the time comes, just go straight to Divine Mountain with the clanspeople.
These pills are for cultivation..." Tang Yan took out everything his mother could use. After carefully explaining how to use them, he brought her to the courtyard where he was temporarily staying.
After settling his mother in, Tang Yan said, "I'll go see Grandfather and the others."
"All right." Zhong
