After hearing Xunkong Shangren's account, along with Xiao Hua's embellishments, Zhai Xingzi and Zhang Daoran had no choice but to pale. The ancient vicious souls Xiao Hua and Xunkong Shangren had faced numbered in the hundreds; that was absolutely not something two Nascent Soul cultivators could withstand. It was already remarkable that Xiao Hua had used a magic treasure to collect those vicious souls. He truly could not have spared his attention to gather the Yellow Springs Water as well.
"Actually, the ones in the greatest danger..." Xiao Hua was most skilled at the Spring and Autumn Annals style. He immediately shifted Zhai Xingzi's attention toward Gu Suqiudi and said, "...were Fairy Qiu and the Gongshu family's girl..."
"How are they?" Within the grand formation, Zhai Xingzi did not dare release his divine sense for fear of triggering changes in the inner formation. Upon hearing this, he had long forgotten whatever doubts he had and asked in a low voice.
"They're fine. They've stabilized now..." Xiao Hua recounted what he had seen and done. When everyone heard that demonic qi was even present within the inner formation, they were utterly alarmed. They looked at one another, their faces full of relief. This truly was surviving a great calamity. Seeing the lingering fear on the faces of the three, Xiao Hua simply omitted that rather superfluous explanation.
"What should we do now?" Zhang Daoran looked worriedly into the distance, where the clouds and mist remained thick and the situation within could not be seen clearly. Having encountered the greatest danger, he could not help asking, "Should we continue breaking the formation and enter, or should we turn back now?"
Although Zhang Daoran had asked Xiao Hua, both Xunkong Shangren and Zhai Xingzi turned to look at him as well.
