There is no blue cloud under the blue sky (2)
Breaking the formation by force will only cause harm to the person who cast the formation. Why was Li Zhaoyue injured?
Xie Feng looked at Li Zhaoyue in shock and doubt, and spat out the blood foam in his mouth with difficulty.
Xu Xing glanced at him indifferently, knelt on the ground, and helped the weak Li Zhaoyue up.
"I'm fine." She obviously didn't look fine, her lips were pale and her eyes were unfocused, but she still smiled.
A trace of heartache flashed through Xu Xing's heart, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Didn't Ah Yue use the positioning technique to calculate it before? Yan's things in the corridor are still here. Maybe we can use this as a breakthrough." He resisted the urge to hug her and said softly.
Hearing this, Li Zhaoyue's eyes lit up, then dimmed again after a moment. She tugged at her sleeve, staring at the ground anxiously, and whispered, "My calculations may not be accurate. Besides, those were made in the previous illusion, and this time is different..."
"Then let's do it again." Xu Xing remained kneeling on one knee, looking at her seriously.
The boy's light brown eyes reflected her small self. Usually, he always had a faint smile on his face, but at this moment, he revealed an irresistible trust.
A trust she had never felt before.
Li Zhaoyue nodded slightly.
Xie Feng covered his chest, walked slowly to the two of them, and whispered, "I was reckless just now. Ah Yue, I'm sorry."
Li Zhaoyue came back to her senses and saw that he looked aggrieved. She couldn't help but laugh: "These are all trivial matters. Look at me, I'm fine, aren't I?"
"I won't mess around anymore." Xie Feng said with his head lowered.
Xu Xing stood up from the ground when Xie Feng arrived. After seeing the two of them finish their conversation, he took out the old compass from his sleeve, handed it to Li Zhaoyue, and said gently, "Let's get started."
"Okay." Li Zhaoyue took the compass.
A golden light emanated from the center of the compass, all the scales lit up, and finally converged to the center. The pointer rotated and finally pointed to the book on the ground.
"The key to breaking the deadlock lies in this book," she said.
Xie Feng watched the whole process from the side, his black pupils full of surprise.
"Look, A Yue is very powerful, right?" Xu Xing smiled at him.
Xie Feng frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Go on." Xu Xing looked at Li Zhaoyue encouragingly.
She carefully returned the compass to Xu Xing, sat down cross-legged, placed the book on her knees, and tried to flip through it, but nothing strange happened.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
There was very little content on each page, and the handwriting was messy, as if it had been written in a hurry.
one
My body is out of control. Didn't that person say I would always be number one? Why did it become like this?
two
Daddy is unhappy today and I am locked up here. I am so hungry. I am so hungry.
three
Why did it become like this? I'm the most talented one, why me?
…
Thirty-four
It's a curse, why me, why me?
The book ended here, the last few pages still showing signs of being torn. Just by reading these words, Li Zhaoyue could sense Lou Daoyan's despair.
She seemed to be able to sense the boy's helplessness between the lines, and seemed to see him struggling in the darkness...
The female voice appeared in my head again, with a faint smile.
"Why don't you let me help you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhaoyue's hand that was touching the page of the book suddenly glowed, and a strange yet familiar power emerged from deep within his body, flowed into the book, connected to the compass, and finally rushed into the sky.
Bang--
A purple firework exploded in the sky, the compass spun rapidly, and the maze was solved.
Under the gaze of the three people, the book turned into the shadow of the inkstone in the corridor and floated in the air.
The Meteor Sword turned, and Xie Feng almost flew up from the ground and stood in front of the two of them.
"Stand back."
The Meteor Sword turned into a cold white sword light and flew towards the shadow. Unbelievably, before the sword light touched the shadow, Lou Daoyan fell forward.
Xie Feng quickly put away his sword, and the shadow stood back up, with a tendency to fall backwards.
The Meteor Sword paused in mid-air, hesitant. Xie Feng could clearly feel the strong aura of a spiritual being, so strong that it was disturbing.
Li Zhaoyue and Xu Xing stood in a row, staring at the phantom, turning the compass in their hands, and the pages of the book were blown by an unknown wind, making a rustling sound.
She looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a faint fluctuation of space between the pages of the book that were blown by the wind.
"Afeng, the shadow is pointing!" she shouted at Xie Feng.
Xu Xing also looked in the direction of the sound, and a giant purple hand faintly appeared behind Xie Feng.
Zheng——
Xu Xing blocked it with his sword, and the milky white sword and the giant hand collided violently. Both sides retreated several steps, and both were injured.
While I was distracted, the spatial fluctuations continued, and that thing wanted to escape!
Li Zhaoyue didn't care about his own safety, and rolled over to fly towards the path pointed by the phantom.
It was the sound of □□ and □□ colliding. Li Zhaoyue looked at the person coming in surprise. It was Xu Xing.
Xu Xing held her tightly in his arms, and took the blow from the giant hands with his back. Immediately following was the flash of the Meteor Sword. Xie Feng's clothes and hair flew, and he stabbed forward with both hands grasping the hilt, but missed.
He decisively used his sword move, and immediately the situation changed drastically. The moon rose and set, and the power of thousands of stars gathered in one sword. This move was Xie Feng's famous move, called Moon Sacrifice. It was this move that made him famous in the suppression of the rebellion three years ago. It was also this move that could bring spirits infinitely close to death.
Once Jiyue appeared, it meant that Xie Feng could not lose. Li Zhaoyue closed his eyes in peace, but a strong smell of blood came from the tip of his nose.
It seemed to be dripping from above.
"Xu Xing?" She called the boy tentatively.
No reply.
Li Zhaoyue panicked and forced himself to open his eyes despite the dazzling sword light, but he saw blood slowly flowing from Xu Xing's mouth and his eyes gradually losing their charm.
"Xu Xing!"
Amid the girl's panic and heart-wrenching cries, his head was throbbing with pain, so painful that he became delirious and his vision went blank.

Feng Ran and several other elders came to the Lou Mansion for many days, but they neither saw Zhu Ming nor found anything unusual.
Every time Feng Ran asked someone to ask the head of the Lou family about Zhu Ming's news, the reply he got was that Elder Zhu was helping the head of the family repair the barrier and had no time to distract himself, so please forgive him.
There has been no sign of Xie Feng and Xu Xing in Huashang Temple for several days.
"There must be something wrong with the Lou family, but we are in a passive position now, so we can only take a long-term view." Su Zi said coldly.
Ye Luan was an impatient person. He was annoyed by the repeated rejections in the past few days. He immediately took up his weapon and wanted to go to the head of the Lou family to argue, but was stopped by Feng Ran.
"We're on someone else's territory now, why are you still so impulsive?" He advised, "The person behind this is as powerful as Elder Zhu, so he must be stronger than the four of us. There's no point in being anxious. The only way is to bide our time and look for opportunities."
"Wait? We have been in Cangyun City for a long time. Not only do they not let us see Zhu Ming, they also won't let us go out. They said that the barrier is under repair and the Lou family is blocking it. It's not like you and I haven't learned the barrier repairing technique. Why can't we go out during the barrier repair period? Unless it is the Lou family's own barrier, maybe they just want to lock us up here." Ye Luan said anxiously.
This wasn't the first time Ye Luan had been so agitated, but this time, his words didn't draw opposition from the crowd. Hua Shangguan flipped through the seal book, his expression somewhat grim.
"I'm afraid what Elder Ye said is correct." Hua Shangguan tapped the page of the book lightly with his right hand, and a paper butterfly quickly flew out from the page, but quickly disappeared in the air.
"This is a cloud butterfly, capable of flying anywhere to deliver messages. But it disappeared just after it took shape. This shows that the Lou Mansion is not connected to the outside world."
Everyone looked at the light spot left by the disappearing Yundie, their faces solemn.
"Everyone," Su Zi stood up from the table and nodded between her eyebrows. A golden whip was wrapped around her fingertips. It was a divine weapon cone. When it hit the enemy, it would make him feel like thousands of ants were gnawing at his heart and causing him unbearable pain.
"The only way now is to force our way in." The cone suddenly grew larger, and the long golden whip swayed with Su Zi's movements. The ups and downs caused turbulence in the space, which showed its power.
Feng Ran has never liked conflicts, but he had no choice at this moment. He moved his sleeves slightly and swung out a sword. This sword was different from ordinary objects. It had no tip, but a broken sword body.
According to legend, the god dozed off while creating it and left it incomplete. The sword spirit was very dissatisfied with this, so in order to appease it, the god injected a drop of his own divine blood into the sword, giving the sword a divine power that no other divine weapon could match.
The Sword of Broken Thoughts cuts off all seven emotions and six desires. The person holding the sword must have a pure mind, so it is extremely powerful.
Ye Luan also shook his sleeves, and an old puppet fell out. It had a strange shape, was completely black, and had a funny bow tied on its head with a piece of white cloth.
This was the world-famous puppet body—Don't Move. While the name might sound a bit funny, it could instantly control those around it, almost imperceptibly.
Hua Shangguan gently flipped through the sealed book and tapped on a certain page. A string of talismans flew out, which were enhancement talismans that strengthened offensive spells.
The four of them each held their own divine weapon and launched an attack towards the invisible barrier above. However, just as they were about to launch their attack, Feng Ran noticed something was wrong and quickly retracted his sword, but it was too late.
A red light flashed in Ye Luan's eyes, and he immediately stretched out many silk threads and tied up everyone except Feng Ran. The puppet threads entered their bodies and quickly took away the minds of the remaining two people. The three of them surrounded Feng Ran.
Even though the Sword of Broken Thoughts was blessed by divine blood, it was unable to defeat a large group of enemies alone. Feng Ran felt somewhat exhausted after just a moment.
"Elder Su, Elder Ye, Elder Hua." Feng Ran tried to wake them up by injecting spiritual power, but it was useless and he was almost hit by a cone.
This is the horror of puppetry. If the person who performs this technique cannot be killed, the puppetry can never be solved.
Feng Ran turned over to avoid Hua Shangguan's talisman, and his right arm was wounded by Ye Luan's puppet silk. He shrank forward and barely avoided the attack of the cone.
The whip shining with golden light almost passed by his skin. He was covered in cold sweat and panting, and he didn't dare to relax at all.
