After passing through more than a dozen formations, the three of them finally arrived at a stone house.
Ran Changle saw at a glance the woman in red sitting in the middle of the formation.
Perhaps it was the resonance of blood, her blood flow accelerated and her heartbeat quickened.
In order not to attract the attention of the two people, she quickly practiced her skills and used her spiritual power to calm her heartbeat and blood flow.
The woman in red seemed to sense something as well. She raised her head to look at Ran Changle, then lowered her head again.
Shang Lu glanced at the woman in the formation, then looked at the empty stone chamber, stared at Lu Ke and said, "There is nothing here except that woman. How did you extract the mysterious substance? Are you kidding me?"
Lu Ke felt uneasy under Shang Lu's gaze and quickly explained, "I wouldn't dare. To extract the mysterious substance, I only need that woman, the spirit fish, and my technique. I don't need anything else. I'll show you right away."
After saying that, Lu Ke didn't move, but just looked at Shang Lu eagerly.
Shang Lu took out the spirit fish, Lu Ke took the spirit fish, took out a special token, opened the formation layer by layer, and sent the spirit fish in.
Next, he cut the woman's wrist, let the spirit fish suck up her blood, and then passed through layer after layer of formations. Lu Ke did all this smoothly and effortlessly.
Ran Changle secretly clenched his fists, reminding himself that this was a critical moment and he must not act impulsively.
Shang Lu seemed to be interested in the formation that imprisoned the woman. He stretched out his hand to Lu Ke and said, "There is also a spirit fish. Give me the token and I will control the formation."
"This won't work. If the woman inside escapes, we'll all die."
Lu Ke quickly shook his head.
Shang Lu sneered: "Before opening the next layer of the formation, close the previous layer first. Such a simple operation, do you think I would make a mistake?"
Of course, Lu Ke didn't dare to say that he would make a mistake. He thought about the chains that tied the woman and the formations in the room. He felt that the woman could not escape no matter what, so he handed the token to Shang Lu.
Shang Lu controlled the formation to send another spirit fish in. After sucking enough blood from it, he controlled the formation to send the spirit fish out.
He handed the spirit fish to Lu Ke and asked, "How long will it take to extract the mysterious substance from the two spirit fish?"
"About two hours." Lu Ke replied.
"Let's start." Shang Lu waved his hand and said.
Lu Ke pointed at Shang Lu's hand and said, "Token."
Shang Lu played with the token in one hand and said, "This token is really beautiful. Let me look at it for a while. I will return it to you after you have extracted the mysterious substance."
"this……"
Shang Lu's face turned cold, and his aura changed: "Why are you afraid that I won't return it to you?"
"No, no, I'll extract the mysterious substance first."
Lu Ke swiftly sat cross-legged on the ground, placed the spirit fish in front of him, and made some hand gestures. Countless white silk threads stretched out from his hands and penetrated into the body of the spirit fish.
When he extracted the mysterious substance, he needed to focus all his mind on the spirit fish, so he could not perceive anything in the outside world.
Shang Lu also understood this, so he let him bring them in.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Lu Ke was completely immersed in extracting the mysterious substance, Shang Lu winked at Ran Changle.
He whispered, "Time is running out."
Ran Changle bowed and said, "Thank you very much."
Shang Lu opened the formation and Ran Changle walked in.
Seeing her walk towards the woman, Shang Lu closed the formation and took out another formation plate to surround himself and Lu Ke.
Ran Changle glanced at Shang Lu gratefully, squatted down, and called softly, "Senior."
Although the woman in front of him was chained, she looked in good spirits and showed no signs of being abused.
The woman raised her head, a glimmer of light flashing in her dead eyes, and she called out, "Goddess."
Because she hadn't spoken for a long time, the woman's voice was a little hoarse, but her tone was very excited and happy.
"Senior, are there any of our people left in the Broken Mountain Sect?"
Ran Changle ignored why the woman called her goddess and asked hurriedly.
Time is running out and she has to get as much information as possible within the limited time.
"No, I'm the only one left." The woman replied, shaking her head.
It would be much easier if there was only one person. Ran Changle looked at the chains on the woman and the formation outside, and said, "Senior, please activate the formation on the chains later. I will write down the runes so that I can come and rescue you next time."
Yes, next time.
Ran Changle didn't think she could rescue people the first time she came, so she had to write down all the runes of the formation, go back to find a way to crack it, and then come back to rescue people.
Moreover, the timing of rescuing people must be carefully considered.
It would be best to wait until the people from the sect come and rescue Duanshan Sect when it is in chaos.
The woman shook her head again and said, "No, there's no need to save me. I've been lingering on until now just to wait for you to come. Did you bring the holy bones?"
Ran Changle took out the holy bones from his arms.
The woman cut her palm and held the sacred bone in her hand.
The holy bone absorbed the woman's blood, and the golden runes on it increased rapidly.
And the woman's spirit quickly declined.
Ran Changle didn't understand why the woman had such a change. This had never happened before when she dripped blood on the holy bones.
He asked anxiously, "Senior, what's wrong with you?"
The woman didn't care about her condition, smiled and said, "I am the key to open the sacred bones. I am helping you open the sacred bones."
"Stop, senior, stop."
Ran Changle saw that the woman's hair had gradually turned white, so he reached out to pry open her hand, wanting to take out the holy bones.
Although the woman had been imprisoned for a long time, she had truly reached the level of a spirit being. Ran Changle was unable to pry her apart and could only allow the holy bone to suck away her blood.
The woman took Ran Changle's hand with her other hand and said with a smile: "Goddess, don't waste your energy. The opening process of the holy bone cannot be interrupted."
Seeing that Ran Changle was about to say something, the woman spoke first, "Goddess, time is running out, there are some things you must know.
We, the Lingxue Clan, are the descendants of Emperor Xuan and Emperor Quan. We originally lived in the Tianxuan Realm, but a thousand years ago, there was a prophecy that a goddess would descend into the world with Emperor Xuan's will and rule the three realms again.
The Emperor of the Tianxuan Realm does not allow anyone to shake his position, so he hunts down my people.
Later, my people fled to the Tianquan Realm, where they were fortunately taken in by three Heavenly Lords and were able to recuperate.
Who knew that the King of England would eventually discover the traces of my people.
A hundred years ago, I was captured by the Broken Mountain Sect while trying to escort my people away."
"Wait." Ran Changle interrupted, "The person with the highest cultivation level in Duanshan Sect is Sect Master Dou Cheng. He is only in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, while you are already in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. How could he catch you?"
"No, there is another cultivator in the fusion stage in Duanshan Sect." said the woman.
Ran Changle exclaimed: "Fusion stage? How is that possible?"
The woman shook her head and smiled bitterly: "At that time, I also thought that all the out-of-body and fusion stage cultivators in the Tianquan Realm had been sent away by Liuguang Tianzun. Who knew that the Duanshan Sect actually hid a fusion stage cultivator."
