Time passed quietly. Nearly an hour had gone by since the two righteous factions entered the divine and demonic formation. After a long and protracted battle, the righteous youths in the formation had suffered heavy casualties. Meanwhile, the hundred or so demons appeared and disappeared unpredictably within the formation, specializing in sneak attacks. If they encountered danger, they would vanish into the mist and escape, so their casualties were negligible.
After Li Molin left, Liu Lingying fought with two demons at the Demon Heart Realm. Because she wanted to see Li Molin as soon as possible, Liu Lingying was flustered and attacked fiercely. In just a few moves, she seriously injured the two demons. The demons were quick to react and immediately disappeared into the mist after being injured.
Liu Lingying ignored the two demons, circled around in the mist a few times, and then rushed in after finding a direction.
Her cultivation was profound; the highest-ranking demon in the formation was only at the peak of the Demon Heart realm. Therefore, when she encountered enemies while wandering aimlessly within the formation, almost none of her subordinates could withstand a single blow. She was simply unable to break the formation because she didn't know what kind of formation it was and couldn't see the demon holding the banner.
"Lin'er!" Liu Lingying ran around the formation like a headless fly, calling out Li Molin's name all the way, looking panicked and speaking urgently.
Suddenly, a male voice came from an unknown direction, calling out, "Uncle Ying!"
Liu Lingying paused for a moment, then called out loudly, "Is that Han'er?"
"Uncle-Master Ying!" Liang Yihan, seemingly still in the midst of a fight, spoke with difficulty, his voice broken, "Uncle-Master, where are you?"
Liu Lingying spun around in place a few times, but she couldn't tell which direction Liang Yihan's voice was coming from. After a while, Liu Lingying became increasingly anxious.
"Ugh!" A muffled groan suddenly came from Liang Yihan, sounding as if he was enduring extreme pain but could no longer hold back, and that's when he finally made that sound. Although the sound was faint and its direction was unknown, the fact that such a small sound could be heard meant that Liang Yihan was extremely close to Liu Lingying.
Upon hearing Liang Yihan's pained voice, Liu Lingying's expression changed, and her brow twitched.
She suppressed her inner turmoil and worry, took a few deep breaths, closed her eyes, and focused all her attention on her hearing, carefully listening to all the sounds around her.
"Whoosh..."
A faint whistling sound filled the air, accompanied by shouts of fighting, the clashing of weapons, the piercing of sharp objects, the gushing of blood, and screams of agony.
As she listened, Liu Lingying's brows furrowed slightly.
"Uncle Ying!" Liang Yihan called out weakly, his voice filled with pain and exhaustion.
Liu Lingying suddenly opened her eyes, turned around, and rushed over.
As she advanced, a small patch of clear land beside her shifted forward. Liu Lingying forced her way through the mist, flying three or four zhang ahead, until four figures appeared in the gradually brightening area. Liu Lingying looked closely and saw three demons at the Demonic Thought Realm surrounding Liang Yihan, attacking him.
Liang Yihan was covered in injuries and was struggling to stay afloat.
Liu Lingying's expression changed drastically. With a flick of her sword, a silver flying sword shot towards the three demons like a meteor. One demon was caught off guard and the sword pierced his heart, exiting through his body and leaving a trail of blood. The sword continued its journey, heading straight for the next demon.
The remaining two demons were shocked and immediately stopped what they were doing, retreating hastily. As they retreated, they saw Liu Lingying and, with remarkable tacit understanding, immediately disappeared into the mist.
Liu Lingying quickly flew to Liang Yihan's side and supported his swaying body. She frowned and asked, "Han'er, are you alright?"
Liang Yihan was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely, weak and pale. With Liu Lingying's support, he managed to stand, whispering, "This disciple is alright..."
A flash of light appeared on Liu Lingying's storage ring, and a cyan jade bottle materialized in her hand. She pulled out the stopper, poured out a white pill, and held it directly to Liang Yihan's lips, saying, "Open your mouth!"
Liang Yihan obediently opened her mouth and swallowed the pill. As soon as the pill entered her mouth, a warm current flowed through her body, instantly relieving the pain in Liang Yihan's body.
Liang Yihan let out a soft sigh and said in a low voice, "Uncle-Master, this formation is a demonic formation of gods and ghosts. It was set up by eighteen demons with top-tier demonic hearts wielding demonic god banners and forty-nine demons with top-tier demonic thoughts wielding ghost soldier banners. I wonder if Uncle-Master has any way to break this formation? If this formation is not broken, we righteous disciples will surely suffer heavy casualties!"
"The Divine Demon Formation..." Liu Lingying lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought. After thinking for a long time, she raised her eyes and said, "Han'er, give me your Mountain and River Map!"
Liang Yihan hesitated for only a moment before his storage ring flashed, and a scroll shimmering with blue light appeared in the air.
Liu Lingying grabbed the scroll and said urgently, "Han'er, teach me the most powerful incantation of the Mountain and River Map."
“Okay.” Liang Yihan nodded and whispered a difficult and obscure incantation.
Liu Lingying tossed the scroll upwards, bent three fingers of her right hand, and a flash of blue light appeared at the tip of her two fingers together. Then, she whispered the incantation that Liang Yihan had recited.
No sooner had Liu Lingying finished chanting than a continuous stream of azure Taoist spiritual energy surged from the tips of two fingers on her right hand, pouring into the Mountain and River Map.
After the azure energy surged in, the radiant blue landscape map trembled in the air before slowly unfolding.
The Mountain and River Map unfolds extremely slowly and requires a massive amount of spiritual energy. Therefore, even though Liu Lingying is already at the Void Transformation stage, she still appears to be struggling. Her face is flushed, her forehead is sweating, and her right hand is trembling, as if she is on the verge of exhaustion.
In reality, with Liu Lingying's cultivation level, completing this incantation, while not easy, wouldn't be this difficult either. However, fearing it would harm the Undying Vine, she forcibly limited the area covered by the incantation to a radius of about one mile. Otherwise, the entire island would probably have been affected.
