" Xun'er!"
Within the jade tablet, the phantom formed from a wisp of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength was staring blankly at Xun'er, who was within the array cage so close to him. After a long while, an excited yet hoarse roar finally came from Xiao Yan's mouth.
With his bloodshot eyes filled with excitement, Xiao Yan stared at Xun'er inside the cage. The deep longing in his heart brought tears to his eyes, and his body trembled violently at that moment.
Based on Xiao Yan's familiarity with Xun'er, he was naturally able to tell that the charming woman in front of him was definitely not a fake created by that guy outside. That subtle sense of familiarity that belonged only to him and Xun'er could not be imitated by any means.
As for why Xun'er was here, Xiao Yan had no time to care. He only saw Xun'er's delicate body covered in wounds. He only cared about Xun'er's condition at this moment, and he was even willing to risk his own life for her.
As Xiao Yan's hoarse roar rang out, the beautiful woman sitting cross-legged inside the cage suddenly trembled. Although her voice was hoarse, the familiar emotions it contained were undeniable. Her tightly closed eyes snapped open, and Xun'er immediately fixed her gaze on Xiao Yan.
Upon seeing the man in the black robe with a familiar face, Xun'er felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.
Her beautiful eyes quickly turned bloodshot, her lips trembled, and she bit her red lips tightly with her Xun'er disregarded her injuries, as if her injuries had completely healed the moment she first saw the man in front of her.
" Brother Xiao Yan!"
" Xun'er!"
Separated by a protective array, the two shouted in unison, then opened their arms and rushed toward each other.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
However, just as Xun'er's delicate body was about to pass through the array cage, a strong black light flashed from the array cage, and a powerful force instantly blasted Xun'er back, leaving two glaring bloodstains on her fair and tender wrists.
A painful scream escaped Xun'er's lips as her delicate body was blasted away by the force and crashed heavily to the ground.
" Xun'er!"
Xiao Yan was shocked, and a fierce aura surged on his face. His enormous Spiritual Strength instantly condensed in the void in front of him, transforming into an invisible giant ruler. Under Xiao Yan's mental control, it slammed into the array cage.
However, just as the giant ruler struck the array cage, under the watchful eyes of Xiao Yan and Xun'er, the invisible giant ruler actually pierced straight through the array cage.
"Damn it! What is this?!"
Cursing under his breath, Xiao Yan flashed to the front of the array cage. His gaze swept over the cage, and anger surged within him. He threw a punch at the array, only to find that his body passed right through it. In that instant, he realized that everything he was seeing was merely an illusion; the real Xun'er was probably not in this jade slip.
" Xun'er!"
Xiao Yan steeled his resolve and tried to pass directly through the formation. Sure enough, he encountered no hindrance. However, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan no time to worry about that now. What he was truly worried about was whether Xun'er, who appeared before him, was just an illusion.
If it were Xun'er's true form here, Xiao Yan would undoubtedly be overjoyed. But if not, where is Xun'er's true form now?
With these questions in mind, Xiao Yan faced Xun'er, who was now only inches away from him. Xiao Yan could clearly hear Xun'er's breathing, but he was also extremely nervous.
" Brother Xiao Yan, Xun'er misses you so much..."
Facing Xiao Yan, even Xun'er, a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, could no longer suppress her emotions. Her delicate body leaned forward, and her scarred arms rose up as if she wanted to hug Xiao Yan tightly.
However, at that very moment, Xun'er stumbled and fell backward off Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was also shocked. Although he wanted to hold Xun'er in his arms, he could only look at her helplessly. Only then did Xun'er realize that the Xiao Yan in front of her was just a phantom.
" Brother Xiao Yan..."
Xun'er's eyes were red, and tears were swirling in her eyes, ready to spill over at any moment.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan felt extremely anxious. He raised his hand, wanting to wipe away Xun'er's tears, but all of this was in vain.
" Xun'er, tell me where you are, I'll come to save you right away!"
Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his face flushed red, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. A raging fire of anger was burning in his heart. If he could know Xun'er's location now, no matter how far away she was, he would rush over without hesitation.
" Brother Xiao Yan, I don't know where I am either..."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xun'er shook her head helplessly. She didn't even know where she was now. Ever since she arrived in that space, she had been bound by this formation. No matter how hard she tried to break through the formation, she could only end up with a body full of wounds.
In this mysterious place, there was not even a trace of life. Only a strange mirror stood there silently. The only thing Xun'er knew was that she had been brought here from this "mirror" by those two inhuman, ghostly beings.
At this moment, the "mirror" was also placed in front of Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan ignored it. In his eyes, there was only Xun'er in front of him.
"Damn it, these inhuman freaks! They deserve to die!"
The reason Xun'er was bound must have been the work of the Ghost Hall. If Xiao Yan didn't want to be their enemy before this incident, now that Xun'er is bound, the Ghost Hall and the Ghost Fiend Gate behind it have entered the top of Xiao Yan's kill list!
Xiao Yan's heart was filled with raging anger, and deep white flames burned wildly on Xiao Yan body. His anger was about to explode, and at the same time, he felt extremely worried for Xun'er in front of him.
" Xun'er, protect yourself, I will come to save you soon!"
Obediently nodding, Xun'er's pale face revealed a beautiful smile, as ephemeral as a fleeting flower, for Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan stared blankly at her, his slightly ethereal hand slowly rising and gently stroking Xun'er's cheek. The latter closed her beautiful eyes, her pale cheek sliding across Xiao Yan's palm.
Silence speaks louder than words.
Then, Xiao Yan's illusory body slowly dissipated in front of Xun'er. A look of panic appeared on the latter's pretty face. However, Xiao Yan had already withdrawn from the jade tablet. Inside the jade tablet, the expression on Xun'er's pretty face froze as Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength withdrew.
"Click!"
Meanwhile, outside, the moment Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength withdrew from the jade tablet, the jade tablet in his hand shattered with a crack.
Xiao Yan's face turned deathly pale in that instant.
