At this moment, a bright white light suddenly shone from Lu Wenxing's body. This white light immediately reminded Shi Xuan of the demon core that Lu Wenxing had obtained in the Nine-Story Pagoda.

But the white light only gently covered Lu Wenxing's body, a thin layer, and did not stop him from walking towards the center of the square.

"Second Senior Brother!"

Shi Xuan tugged at him. But he seemed to have lost consciousness and continued walking forward mechanically.

In the very center of the square, at the very center of the pattern stained red with the blood of those people, Lu Wenxing walked to that spot and stood there.

Shi Xuan was worried and stayed close to Lu Wenxing, following him into the center of the pattern.

At this moment, the patterns suddenly began to move, as if they were starting to rotate around the center, which would make people feel dizzy just by looking at them.

Along with the patterns, the void of this place also began to move.

Space seemed to be torn apart. Shi Xuan was extremely familiar with this. Wasn't it just like the way Zhao Cai opened the passage in the void when she traveled through the void twice!

Directly opposite them was Xin Shi. At this moment, separated by the torn void, Xin Shi's face was already distorted, making his already painfully contorted features even uglier.

Upon seeing this scene, Shi Xuan immediately grabbed Lu Wenxing's arm.

Sure enough, after the void distorted, it seemed to open its bloody maw as if it wanted to swallow people whole, and headed straight for Lu Wenxing!

Lu Wenxing was in a daze and had no chance to resist.

But Shi Xuan did not allow it.

She shouted, "Second Brother!"

Then, in that instant, she pulled him along and they flashed into the silver frost.

Before entering Silverfrost, Shi Xuan caught a glimpse of Xin Shi out of the corner of his eye. Xin Shi seemed quite surprised, and even a little fearful.

Wait! Fear?!

It was as if... he didn't know why this was happening, and his expression indicated that something unexpected had occurred!

After Lu Wenxing entered Yinshuang, his condition did not improve. He seemed to be in a daze, silent and with a blank stare.

Shi Xuan couldn't help but let his thoughts wander and delve deeper into the subject.

The "Newborn" organization has done so many things by extracting other people's souls. At this moment, Lu Wenxing is less like a fool and more like someone who has lost his soul.

Disheartened and dejected—that seems to perfectly describe him right now.

So, was Lu Wenxing's pain just now, and his unconscious direction of movement afterward, all because they had stolen his soul?

But looking at Xin Shi's appearance, it didn't seem like he was doing it on his own initiative.

So the formation here has taken a liking to Lu Wenxing's soul? And wants to seize his soul in particular?

Why is that?!

Shi Xuan couldn't understand it.

At this moment, Hong Chi also came in from outside and appeared in front of Shi Xuan.

Surprisingly, she didn't scoff. She said, "I sensed that the space we just visited was connected to the formation here; they seemed to be one. If that's true, then the Yin-Yang Candle might be hidden in that space."

No wonder!

Now, recalling Xin Shi's expression when she came in, it seems... it makes sense!

If the key to breaking the formation is that the Yin-Yang Candle is hidden in that space, and some secret method is used to connect that space to the formation, then everything makes sense!

They, carrying the Yin-Yang Candle that even several Nascent Soul stage elders had failed to find, were not even in this space!

With the array core placed in a separate space, no matter how high their cultivation level or how powerful their divine sense, they would not be able to detect the other space!

This might also be Xin Shi's trump card.

He was initially very pleased with himself, confident that they would not be able to find the core of the formation he had set up.

But just now, Lu Wenxing was led into the array patterns, and the space suddenly opened up, trying to suck Lu Wenxing in!

Just then, Xin Shi panicked!

Everyone saw that space; if so, all of his trump cards would have been exposed!

This space, which he had envisioned as impossible to open, actually opened!

The truth of the matter seems to be as thin as a windowpane, about to be torn apart with a single poke.

Shi Xuan left Lu Wenxing alone in Yinshuang and went back to the main hall.

Xin Shi had already composed himself and was now focused on the pain.

Shi Xuan walked up to him and said bluntly, "The Yin-Yang Candle is in that space."

Her tone was very certain; it wasn't a question, but a statement.

Xin Shi remained unmoved, seemingly having mentally prepared himself during the time Shi Xuan and Lu Wenxing had disappeared.

Shi Xuan did not need his response.

Since we don't need him to speak, let's not let him be idle.

Shi Xuan once again condensed the power of the void gale. The gale that entered Xin Shi's body was even stronger.

"Pfft!" Xin Shi spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.

He gritted his teeth and endured it.

He's persisting, he's gambling.

Even if they know the location of the formation's core, they can't destroy it. Once this formation is complete, everyone here except him will die!

In that time, he will naturally be the ultimate victor.

Shi Xuan looked at the patriarch of the Lianfeng Sword Sect.

"Master Lin, did you see the space that was just opened up clearly? Can it be opened?"

"When you disappeared just now, Master Qiu and I tried to open the void twice, but neither of them was the same place as before."

It seems that Xin Shi's calmness stems from the fact that even the old ancestors couldn't open his space.

The creation of space has always been extremely complex.

The same place can have countless possibilities, and if it's not a targeted teleportation, but just a space to create a storage area, it's extremely difficult to find.

Although the underground palace was no longer shaking, Shi Xuan's divine sense could see outside that all the plants had withered, and he didn't know what the situation was like in the more distant areas, which involved the locations of other array points.

There's no time to lose.

Shi Xuan gritted his teeth and made a decision.

The only time this space was opened was because they wanted to devour the second senior brother.

Perhaps at this moment, a part of the second senior brother's soul has already been devoured by him.

If they take their second senior brother out now, that space is very likely to open again for him, and that's their chance.

Thinking of this, Shi Xuan turned to face Master Lin and the other sect elders, cupped his hands and said, "Master, I will lead my second senior brother to guide it again. If the space opens this time, I would appreciate it if you could help maintain it for a while."

Several real people nodded without hesitation.

Actually, because time passed so quickly, no one realized that the center of the formation might be inside. Otherwise, they would have already made their move.

At this point, if you look at Xin Shi again, you can clearly feel that his expression has changed.

The composure they had shown moments before was gone; clearly, they had guessed correctly!
