For a moment, Wei Mian didn't know what to say. Xu Zhengfeng next to her thought that she was not in a position to speak, so he hurried forward to smooth things over.

"Alright, let's talk about this later. Right now, it's time to get down to business. It's going to get dark soon. If you don't hurry up and get that thing back—"

When Guo Zhi heard this, he gave up the idea of asking.

It was already past five o'clock, and there were less than two hours left before dark. During this period, Zheng Heng was safe. It seemed that that thing could not appear during the day, so every time he went to look for him, it was at night.

Seeing that there was still time, Uncle Zheng simply took Zheng Hao down the mountain to pack some food, as there was going to be a fierce battle tonight.

At seven o'clock, it gradually darkened.

Wei Mian had finished her meal by then. She looked up at the sky and called Zheng Heng over.

"Follow my steps closely. You should walk the same way I walk."

She walked in front and Zheng Heng followed behind, not taking a wrong step. Soon they reached the center of the Soul-Destroying Formation, which was also the only way out of the formation.

After bringing Zheng Heng into the formation, Wei Mian retreated along the same path. Then she took out a yellow talisman from her pocket. No one could see where she jumped to, and the original sense of danger suddenly disappeared.

There was no trace of any formation nearby, and it was impossible to tell. Zheng Heng sat in the center of the formation and meditated according to the method given by Wei Mian, allowing his aura to fill the formation at an extremely fast speed.

Less than half an hour later, several people felt the atmosphere around them suddenly change, as if something was approaching rapidly.

Wei Mian's face was stern. She took out a jade fan and drew complicated runes on it with cinnabar.

The rune was quickly drawn. Wei Mian slapped a high-level defensive rune on his body with his backhand, and jumped out immediately when the black fog approached.

At this time, the jade bone fan turned into a giant golden sword again, flew out of Wei Mian's hand, and slashed towards the thing.

Uncle Zheng on the side was not seeing this thing fighting with the Heavenly Master for the first time, and at this time he was still staring at Wei Mian's movements intently.

Guo Zhi and Xu Zhengfeng were different. It was the first time they saw that thing with their own eyes. The darkness seemed to turn into tangible evil spirit. No wonder Zheng Kaiyuan was seriously injured. Even they themselves might not be the opponent of that thing.

The two men focused their eyes on Wei Mian. They had felt that the fan in her hand seemed to be an extraordinary magical weapon. Now the fan was emitting golden light, and it was fighting the evil creature on equal terms.

The situation was at a stalemate for a while and no one benefited.

The two looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Where did this little girl come from and why is she so powerful?

The evil creature looked at Zheng Heng who was pretending to be scared not far away, and a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes. He had to get the person tonight no matter what, otherwise all the previous preparations would be wasted.

Suddenly, another black energy came from not far behind Wei Mian.

Here we go again!

This trick was the same as that day, but Wei Mian would not be fooled so easily. She rolled on the ground to avoid it.

Wei Mian's roll was very skillful, and he rolled directly to the vicinity of the Soul-Destroying Formation, getting closer and closer to Zheng Heng.

Since the evil creature wanted to capture Zheng Heng, it naturally wanted to get as close to him as possible.

As soon as Xu Zhengfeng saw Wei Mian fall, he hurried forward to help, but was blocked by the black energy emitted by the evil creature.

Wei Mian took advantage of this opportunity and suddenly took out a small bronze tripod from his pocket and threw it over. The small tripod had strange patterns painted on it. After being thrown out, it just stayed in mid-air, emitting dazzling golden light.

This golden light didn't feel anything when it shone on a human, but when it shone on the evil creature, it felt like someone had poured sulfuric acid on the skin, causing unbearable pain.

Wei Mian took this opportunity to throw a Five Thunder Talisman at it. The evil creature subconsciously jumped towards a place where there was no bronze tripod and no Five Thunder Talisman. That direction happened to be the direction where Zheng Heng was.

Zheng Hao hadn't seen it when Wei Mian was setting up the formation just now, but now that he saw the thing heading towards Zheng Heng, he rushed forward in fear, shouting, "Brother!"

At the same time, Wei Mian suddenly shouted, "Get up!"

As her voice rang out in the dark night, the open space that seemed normal suddenly lit up with golden light, and the golden light gathered at an extremely fast speed to form a strangely shaped formation.

The evil creature that had originally pounced on Zheng Heng suddenly found itself trapped. It was only a few steps away from Zheng Heng, but it could not reach him at all.

It felt the restraint coming from all around, and its heart became more and more manic. Suddenly, black energy surged all over its body and it rushed around in the formation.

Under the powerful impact, the golden light that was originally flowing in the Soul-Destroying Formation also flashed. Seeing this, Wei Mian immediately directed the spiritual energy towards the formation and accelerated the activation of the formation.

The first layer of the formation has been activated, and the evil creature is controlled within the formation. Wei Mian gestured to Zheng Heng, asking him to exit the same way he entered, otherwise the Soul-Destroying Formation will be fully activated in a moment, and not even a fly can get out.

As soon as the others came out, she immediately made quick hand gestures and chanted a spell, and the second layer of the Soul-Destroying Array was activated.

The formation glowed with light, and Uncle Zheng felt that the sense of danger he had felt when he set up the formation was suddenly magnified countless times. Even outside the formation, he could feel the powerful murderous aura emanating from it. He and the onlookers could not help but quietly step back a few steps.

As the formation was set in motion, the evil creature immediately let out a wail, and the black aura that had originally covered its body quickly dissipated, revealing its figure in bursts of golden light.

He turned out to be a skinny old man!

The old man was wrapped in a layer of black air all over his body. One could only see his wrinkled flesh sticking to his skeleton, which was very creepy. His eyes were sunken, and his blood-red eyes contained murderous intent. He stared at several people with resentment.

"Do you think this little formation can trap me? Humph, you are overestimating your own abilities!"

Wei Mian looked at the man's wrist, which looked like an old branch, and suddenly remembered the old man's identity.

It turned out to be the person who cast the spell and took away Gao Haiyang's luck!

Wei Mian remembered that he had seen this person in the Heavenly Eye. Although he was wearing a black robe and had a gloomy aura at that time, he definitely did not have such a high level of cultivation. How come he became like this in such a short time?

Soon, the man in the formation also felt something was wrong. This was not any formation he knew, but he had not lived in vain for all these years. He quickly reacted, and then suddenly shook all over and fell to the ground.

A wisp of black soul broke away from it.

He actually pulled his own soul out alive!
