"You seem perfectly lucid. What exactly happened here?"

Nezha took a bleeding knife. He felt that something had happened during Jinxia Yuanjun's experiment, which made him pay close attention to Rong Tianding, the test subject. He even thought about poking him a couple of times to see what was going on.

He only put down the knife after Zhang Xuezhou shouted.

"I don't know what happened either, but those purple lights seemed to have a hallucinatory effect," Zhang Xuezhou said, pointing to the purple light that appeared in the laboratory.

"Psychedelic? That's outside my area of expertise!"

Nezha scratched his head.

He lived a long life, but he never knew what hallucinations were, so he had difficulty understanding people's symptoms, let alone solving their problems.

"Is there some kind of hallucinogenic poison leaking out here, or is it due to the influence of an array?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"How would I know anything about these things? My teacher never taught me any of this, and I can't sense any hallucinogenic poison or arrays," Nezha said, his head aching. "All I know is that Laozi's Nine Heavens Burning Fire Array can burn me, and the Heavenly Venerable's Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Slaying Array can kill me. I don't have any concept of other arrays; this place just feels normal!"

"Don't you even know your own place?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"I don't feel like I understand anything!"

Nezha shook his head.

He didn't even have that concept in his mind.

For example, humans believe that iron can be used to forge knives and kill people, but in the eyes of iron-eating beasts, it is just food. If you want iron-eating beasts to understand the principle that food can kill people, this change of mindset will be very difficult.

At least for now, Nezha doesn't know where the problem lies or how to solve it correctly.

"Is it possible to bring Jinxia Yuanjun back to normal?" Zhang Xuezhou asked. "Perhaps you could take her out of the formation's range?"

"That's a good idea, but why should I listen to you?" Nezha said.

"Because I could tell at a glance that you are a particularly helpful and kind person who can help us suffering elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"You... I am indeed a good person!"

Nezha dislikes being told what to do. Apart from listening to True Person and Taigong Wang, he doesn't even want to listen to his parents, let alone strangers.

But Zhang Xuezhou's words made him feel strangely comfortable.

He hasn't been called a good person in many years.

In the Immortal Court, he was a powerful immortal who gave everyone a headache. Some immortals would even keep their distance from him, and even their own brothers were afraid of angering him.

But he truly cannot control his thoughts, nor can he allow his thinking to grow.

His unique physique gave him a lot, but not the growth and complexity of his thinking.

In just a few words, Nezha had happily lifted Jinxia Yuanjun's body.

He glanced in the direction, then raised his hand and sent Jinxia Yuanjun flying through the gate like a cannonball.

"Things are settled. I've left my junior brother over at the Heavenly Gate," Nezha said happily. "If our Taiyi Palace formation is activated, it definitely won't cover the Heavenly Gate. After all, the Heavenly Gate covers the Yin-Yang Shuttle Formation. Formations can't overlap; I know that much."

"Wow... you're really efficient!"

"Absolutely!"

Zhang Xuezhou felt a chill in his heart, realizing that the other party was indeed lacking common sense when handling matters.

Let alone ordinary people, even a great cultivator would be at risk of death if thrown like that.

The distance the opponent was thrown was not one or two meters, but likely several hundred meters.

Just thinking about where Yao Yuanguang was staying and how far it was from this Taiyi Palace, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Jinxia Yuanjun was extremely unlucky.

It's unclear whether Rong Tianding is dead or not, but Jinxia Yuanjun is almost certainly dead.

If the other party were to discover that his junior brother had died, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he, as the one who came up with the idea, would not be able to escape the consequences.

If the other party simply grabbed him and tossed him aside, that would be considered his death.

"Has Jinxia Yuanjun ever flown out like this before?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"No, what's wrong? Do you need experience for this kind of thing?" Nezha asked.

Nezha's answer sent a chill down Zhang Xuezhou's spine. He shook his head vigorously, and after circling it several times, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Aren't you the handsome man who just came in?"

"Huh?"

"What happened here? I feel a little dizzy!"

"You... you weren't bewitched either? Oh dear, if you were bewitched you should have said so earlier! You just told me to throw my junior brother out, and I actually did as you said!"

Nezha stomped his foot on the ground, then ran towards the door.

Zhang Xuezhou only saw the other person's feet light up with fire, and then they disappeared in a flash.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die! I don't even know if I can get away with this... Okay!"

Zhang Xuezhou snapped out of his daze for a moment, and then began to work hard to refine his Feng Shui site selection techniques.

A general sense of direction came to him, prompting him to quickly switch Technique Method and unleash a Acupoint-Fixing Technique strike.

To his disappointment, Taiyi Palace was not an unmanned formation like the one in Hongku's courtyard, nor was it a formation like those of King Liang and the Venerable One, which he could control at will.

Acupoint-Fixing Technique was activated and continued to extend and spread, Zhang Xuezhou felt a backlash from the impact, which made his chest Qi and Blood and qi, and he almost couldn't breathe.

"There seems to be some kind of countermeasure at the core of this formation, and someone is controlling it!"

The laboratory was filled with a purple glow, and the radiance seemed even brighter than before.

Zhang Xuezhou felt dizzy, and the Kunpeng Combat Technique that had previously dispelled the hallucination was no longer effective.

Just as he was about to faint and collapse, he felt a warm current rise through his body, which helped him stay upright.

"The curse-avoidance spell actually worked?"

Zhang Xuezhou understood the Curse Avoidance Technique as a way to circumvent the evil Incantation Technique practiced by many sorcerers in the Yedie River Holy Land, but he never expected it to have an effect in this kind of formation.

This is because his body has been subjected to a certain degree of influence, and he lacks self-control, which then leads to a passive reaction.

There is no difference between the Bigu Technique and the Grain Avoidance Technique, but actively releasing the Grain Avoidance Technique and passively releasing the Grain Avoidance Technique will have completely different effects.

The same is clearly true for the spell-avoidance technique.

Zhang Xuezhou stimulated his acupoints, and the dizziness in his vision quickly subsided. He then heard the distant voices of Nezha and Jinxia Yuanjun exchanging words.

"Junior brother, I'll remove whichever stake you want, but your broken bones have nothing to do with me. I really only got hurt because someone else told me to!"

"I beg you, junior brother, please don't cause trouble at Taiyi Palace!"

"I didn't do anything reckless. I just followed the giant spirit down to the mortal realm and played hide-and-seek at Taiyi Palace!"

"Well!"

Children from normal families playing hide-and-seek would never nearly kill someone, and they wouldn't carelessly toss around a cultivator like him who Sole Self Realm.

With each sigh, Jinxia Yuanjun clearly gave up on reasoning with Nezha.

He only hoped that the accident could be dealt with quickly, so that no one would die and all his plans would be in vain.

He was holding the token when he suddenly felt a violent impact. Jinxia Yuanjun felt the token was so hot that he almost wanted to throw it away immediately.

"This place is about to explode! Quick, quick, push this pillar back!"

Jinxia Yuanjun grasped the token, momentarily unable to understand why the formation was malfunctioning.

He urged Nezha, who was carrying him to search for the location of the Azure Dragon Pillar, to hurry up and put the pillar back in place. He was also terrified.

As for whether quickly stuffing it back in would restore the normal, stable formation, that was no longer a question that Jinxia Yuanjun needed to carefully consider.
