Ji Fengyao scanned the communication jade slip in her arms with her divine sense again and found that the small dot on the jade slip belonging to Ji Fenghua was emitting a faint light.

This means that Ji Fenghua is in the vicinity!

She wasn't lost or going in the wrong direction; rather, the area was shrouded in some kind of formation, making it difficult for her to discern directions.

"Master," Ji Fengyao called out to Mo Linxian through telepathy.

“This formation is extremely sophisticated. Feel it carefully and walk around the formation walls; be careful not to enter the formation. Let me see if you can find any clues,” Mo Linxian replied in a deep voice.

Hearing his calm voice, Ji Fengyao felt reassured and softly agreed, "Okay."

Although my master may seem a bit unreliable at times, he is very reliable when he is serious, especially when it comes to her.

Ji Fengyao cautiously probed.

If her cultivation level were weaker, or if an ordinary person came here, they wouldn't be able to detect the existence of the formation at all.

Even with her full strength, she could only sense a very faint fluctuation.

This indicates that the person who set up the formation was more skilled than her, and that the formation was indeed extremely sophisticated.

Therefore, Ji Fengyao was even more cautious.

If she touches the array barrier and feels even the slightest fluctuation in it, she will not go any further to avoid getting trapped inside.

They circled almost the entire Cold Palace before finally returning to their original spot.

Ji Fengyao couldn't help but gasp in amazement: "I have to say, these demons are really crazy. Don't they have the materials for setting up the formation for free? They've actually fenced off most of the Cold Palace!"

"According to you, although this world has been reduced to the mortal realm, it still has many mysterious places and rare treasures. These demons have been lingering in this world for who knows how long, and they must have found a lot of things; they don't need most of the things in the human world, so they naturally don't care about them," Mo Linxian concluded, combining the little bandit's description of this world.

“Master is right. It’s a pity we don’t know where they put their things. Otherwise, we could take them and they would be perfect for us,” the little bandit girl said nonchalantly. Finally, she asked, “Master, do you know how to break this formation?”

“Breaking the formation is impossible,” Mo Linxian clicked his tongue and said, “Jiu Yue is indeed worthy of being the Lord of the Demon Realm. He is decisive and ruthless in his actions. When he saw me split my soul, he decisively split off most of his soul and self-destructed, which shows that he is ruthless not only towards others but also towards himself.”

"Huh?" Ji Fengyao's lips twitched. "Master, can you speak like a human being? Can this formation be broken or not?"

"It can be broken," Mo Linxian answered in a second, then quickly added, "If we kill the Demon Lord Jiu Yue's divided soul in this realm, this formation will break on its own."

“Kill…” Ji Fengyao was speechless for a moment.

It's been years since I last saw my master, and he's still the same old guy—he can be really mischievous when he's being cheeky!

Forget it, he's my master, what else can I do but tolerate it?

Ji Fengyao ground her back teeth and said patiently, "So, as long as Jiu Yue doesn't release Feng Hua, we can only watch Feng Hua be locked up here, and there's nothing we can do about it?"

“There are two ways,” Mo Linxian said, becoming a little more serious. “First, you release me, and I will risk my last breath to self-destruct on the spot. That should be enough to blast a hole in the formation, and it won’t be able to be repaired within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. You can then take the opportunity to go in and rescue people.”

"Absolutely not!" Ji Fengyao refused outright, then immediately asked, "What's the second option?"
