Long Qianling withdrew his gaze, and his figure immediately disappeared behind Bai Qingnian.

Bai Qingnian glanced back as if sensing something, but saw nothing. He continued walking forward, heading in the same direction as Long Qianling.

On the other side, Long Qianling appeared by a huge lake through the gap. She stepped onto the shore and looked down.

Through the shimmering surface of the water, I could see the scene beneath the lake, where a city actually stood.

The aura of the dragons emanates from here. Could they be inside?

With her red eyes fixed on the city at the bottom of the lake, Long Qianling leaped into the water without hesitation, creating a huge splash.

Inside a house at the bottom of the lake, the woman in black looked excitedly at the water mirror in front of her.

The image reflected in the water mirror showed Bai Qingnian coming this way.

"I never expected to run into him here. Only by capturing him will Long Qianling have no choice but to surrender obediently?"

The woman in black looked at Bai Qingnian with an air of confidence, unaware that danger was gradually approaching her.

After flying for a while, Bai Qingnian saw a red magic circle in front of him, with someone imprisoned inside. It was someone he knew, and the person inside also saw him.

"Moon Compassion"

The woman in purple, who was at the head of the group, stood up from the ground with a look of surprise when she saw him.

Bai Qingnian flew and landed outside the magic array, standing face to face with the woman inside.

Bai Qingnian, the "Senior Sister Baili," nodded to her and greeted her.

Looking at Bai Qingnian in front of her, Baili Qing felt only boundless tenderness in her heart.

"Yueci, it's been a long time..."

Bai Qingnian nodded slightly, but didn't notice the obvious love in her eyes.

"Senior Sister Baili, are you trapped?"

Upon hearing this, Baili Qing sighed somewhat embarrassedly: "It's really shameful. We've been trapped here for quite some time now."

"Have you been able to find out the cause of the beast tide?" Bai Qingnian asked.

Baili Qing nodded, her face solemn, and said, "There is a woman who has cultivated some kind of evil art that allows her to absorb the cultivation of magical beasts. It is because of her that those magical beasts have gone mad and run away, which has caused the beast tide."

"A woman? What kind of woman?"

“She doesn’t look human. She has strange black scales on her body and a pair of horns on her head, like dragon horns…” Baili Qing said, her brows furrowed.

“Dragon horns? Where in the cultivation world would a dragon come from…” Bai Qingnian frowned as well.

"Yes, I find it strange too."

"Let's put that aside for now. Let me rescue you first, Senior Sister Baili." After saying this, Bai Qingnian raised her hand to open the magic array.

"It's no use. This magic circle is very strange; it can't be opened at all."

As soon as Baili Qing finished speaking, she saw Bai Qingnian place his jade hand on the red magic circle. Soon, blue spiritual energy flowed from his hand and merged into the red magic circle.

However, Bai Qingnian's face suddenly turned pale.

"Yue Ci, are you alright?" Baili Qing asked him with concern.

Bai Qingnian withdrew his hand and staggered slightly.

Blue Eyes looked at his palm. This magic circle could actually absorb spiritual energy. Just a moment ago, most of his spiritual energy had been absorbed.

What a strange magic circle!

Seemingly noticing his confusion, Baili Qing explained, "This is a magic array from the demon realm; you can't open it by yourself."

Baili Qing had read books from other realms, so she had seen this magic array before.

"The Demon Realm? So that woman is a demon? Why would a demon come to our cultivation world?" Bai Qingnian frowned, his handsome face full of solemnity.

Back when the Bloodstained Secret Realm was in existence, it was the cultivation world that obtained the Heaven-Slaying Sword. Could it be that they came here for the Heaven-Slaying Sword?

That shouldn't be the case. If it were for the Heaven-Slaying Sword, she should have gone to the Central Continent, not come to this Twin Suns Secret Realm.

Perhaps she did it for something else...

"I'm not quite sure about that either..." Baili Qing shook her head.

"Senior Sister Baili, what should I do to rescue you?" Bai Qingnian asked, looking at the red magic circle in front of her.

"You can't open it with your own strength. It won't be possible unless another member of the demon race comes to your aid..."

“Demons…” Bai Qingnian murmured, lost in thought.

Where is he going to find demons?

Seeing his silence, Baili Qing assumed he was in a difficult situation and quickly said, "Yue Ci, don't worry, we'll find a way out."

Bai Qingnian looked at her upon hearing this. If there were a way, they wouldn't have been trapped here for so long.

His gaze fell on the disciples of the Beidou Sect behind Baili Qing. They all looked disheveled, and some were even seriously injured, suggesting that they had recently gone through a fierce battle.

Are they alright?

Baili Qing followed his gaze to the disciples behind her and sighed, "We've run out of pills, so now we can only use spiritual energy to heal. However, only one of the medical cultivators survived, and she can't save so many people by herself..."

"Isn't there any other way to open this magic array?" Bai Qingnian asked, unwilling to give up.

Baili Qing shook her head, "We can't do those things right now..."

Bai Qingnian fell silent upon hearing this.

If he couldn't rescue them, there was nothing he could do.

"Senior Sister Baili, in that case, I'll go ahead and see if I can run into the woman you mentioned..."

"No, don't go! She's very strong, and she's a demon. What if she hurts you?" Upon hearing this, Baili Qing immediately raised her hand and slapped the magic circle.

Bai Qingnian was taken aback when he saw how excited she was.

Baili Qing herself was taken aback, realizing she had lost her composure, and stiffly withdrew her hand, "I was just afraid you couldn't beat her by yourself..."

"Senior Sister Baili, if I don't go, won't you all be trapped here forever? And I must find out if she has any conspiracy or if she will harm the cultivation world." Bai Qingnian said solemnly.

Each realm should not interfere with the others. What if this demon is a spy sent by the demon realm?

In any case, he had to find out everything so that they would have a way to deal with the demon realm if it really intended to attack their cultivation world.

Bai Qingnian gave Baili Qing a deep look, then turned and walked forward.

"Yue Ci..." Baili Qing called softly as she watched his retreating figure.

Just as Bai Qingnian took three steps, his foot suddenly slipped, and a dark abyss appeared out of nowhere. Before Bai Qingnian could react, he fell straight down.

Even Baili Qing and her group, who were inside the magic circle, fell down.

"Yue Ci!"
