In a world shrouded in mist, Xiao Yan stood as steady as Mount Tai in the void, unmoved by the efforts of the stunning beauty before him.
"Husband, hurry! Xun'er is nowhere to be found. We must find her as soon as possible!"
A look of anxiety appeared on Cai Lin's beautiful face. Her snow-white arms, as white as lotus roots, were exposed to the air. Her soft hands tightly gripped Xiao Yan's wrist, and she tried her best to take Xiao Yan away from this place.
As for Xiao Yan at this moment, his dark eyes were indifferent, but his gaze couldn't help but sweep over the familiar, delicate body before him. Then, he slowly took a deep breath, shook his head slightly, and said in a calm yet firm tone:
"Let go, you're not Cai Lin."
Upon hearing this, the stunning beauty before him paused, and after a few breaths, she slowly released her grip on Xiao Yan's wrist. Then, the surrounding mist rapidly condensed around this " Cai Lin," and in the blink of an eye, the figure before Xiao Yan transformed into a blurry silhouette with indistinct features. At the same time, a slightly indifferent, unfamiliar female voice uttered from her lips.
How did you discover it?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was startled, and his expression changed instantly. A look of astonishment welled up in his dark eyes as he stared intently at the mist that resembled a human figure. The horror in his heart was beyond imagination.
"You... this formation... it actually developed sentience!?"
After a long pause, Xiao Yan finally spoke in a deep voice, his eyes filled with surprise and his tone heavy with seriousness.
Faced with such a horrifying thing, probably no one could remain calm. He had heard of Dou Technique Spirit Manifestation, but he had never heard of an array that could transform into spirits. If that were true, wouldn't he be in danger if this guy in front of him wanted to attack him?
When Xiao Yan uttered these words, the milky-white cloud stirred slightly and immediately fell silent. But then, a faint, enigmatic laugh came from within the cloud, followed by the unfamiliar and indifferent female voice.
"Perhaps."
"Hiss..."
Upon hearing this ambiguous answer, Xiao Yan, hidden beneath his black robe, couldn't help but gasp. His already furrowed brows tightened even more, and the seriousness in his heart didn't diminish in the slightest. After all, regardless of whether the other party was the spirit of this formation or not, dealing with him would probably not be difficult.
Having exhausted his thoughts, Xiao Yan had no choice but to withdraw them. He took a deep breath, his breathing slightly heavy, his eyelids lowered, and a sharp light flashed in the depths of his dark eyes. Then, he looked at the cloud of mist before him, paused for a moment, and a smile appeared on his lips as he said:
"The reason I was able to recognize you as an imposter is because Cai Lin never calls me 'husband'; she always calls me by my name."
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the milky-white figure before him rippled slightly. Then, a soft laugh emanated from the figure, seemingly self-deprecating, or perhaps indicating that he understood.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan frowned. With a thought, the Dou Qi within his body began to circulate quietly, ready to deal with the strange formation before him.
"Don't be nervous, you... you can leave here now."
As if sensing Dou Qi fluctuations in Xiao Yan's Dou Qi, a faint female voice emanated from the clouds before him. Xiao Yan's expression involuntarily tightened slightly. However, as soon as the woman's voice fell, the clouds filling the space directly in front of Xiao Yan, as if receiving a command, quickly dispersed to both sides, creating a clear passage about two meters wide in front of Xiao Yan.
Upon seeing this, a look of surprise flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes. As he frowned slightly, his Spiritual Strength spread out, rapidly expanding towards the end of the passage in front of him. After the mist dissipated, the speed at which Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength spread seemed to increase imperceptibly. Sure enough, in just a few breaths, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength quickly found the exit of the formation that he had previously sensed.
Upon finding the exit of the formation, Xiao Yan's expression froze slightly. He hadn't expected that the formation would actually guide him away from it on its own. This was truly a strange occurrence.
"You... you really want me to leave? I don't believe you, as the spirit of the formation, could do something so disobedient."
After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Yan finally couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, a moment of silence fell over the cloud of mist before them, followed immediately by a series of giggles.
"Hehehe, what, are you afraid I'll plot against you? Since I'm the spirit of the formation, if I wanted to deal with you, I could just attack you directly. Why bother with all this trouble? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble? Of course, if you don't want to leave, I can make you stay, forever..."
The tone of his voice at the end was chilling, and even Xiao Yan felt a chill in his heart. After some thought, he carefully lifted his foot and slowly walked towards the end of the passage in front of him.
After walking a hundred paces, Xiao Yan looked back. The scattered clouds and mist gradually spread, leaving Xiao Yan with no way to retreat.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression changed again, but in the end, he had no choice but to move. As his Spiritual Strength spread, he quickly flew towards the exit.
As Xiao Yan's figure gradually disappeared into the clouds and mist, somewhere within the formation, milky-white mist began to condense. But unlike before, this time, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a long dress appeared...
The woman wore a long golden dress covered with various array patterns, and most strangely, those array patterns were faintly shimmering with a glowing light.
"Heh... the spirit of the formation, what an interesting person."
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Yan, flying at lightning speed, instantly saw a dazzling white light at the end of the passage before him.
"There's no mistake! This really is the export route!"
With a joyful shout in his heart, Xiao Yan instantly used the Heavenly Severing Steps. In the next moment, Xiao Yan appeared in front of the white light. As a smile appeared on his face, he thrust his body forward and instantly disappeared into the white light in front of him.
