"Ah Zu!" Qiu Honglei's eyes immediately reddened when she saw Zu An risking his life to save her.
Before Zuan could even reply, he immediately activated a powerful wind and teleported.
Unfortunately, perhaps due to the influence of this great formation, the distance he could teleport was greatly reduced, and he could only teleport within the range of the formation. Every time he appeared, he was immediately pulled backward by the terrifying suction force of the vortex.
After using his Gale Teleportation technique several times, he only managed to move slightly away from the vortex, and could no longer advance even an inch.
The skill "Great Wind" has a cooldown period, and with his current cultivation level, using it continuously these few times without stopping is already his limit.
Although the intervals between each use of the strong wind were not long, in this critical moment, that short time was enough for the two of them to be pulled into the whirlpool several times.
But if he doesn't use his strong wind, he's pulled backward almost instantly.
Without pausing, he immediately used the "Lotus Steps" technique, where lotus flowers appeared beneath his feet as he slowly walked outwards, as if struggling against a raging storm.
It is important to know that the Lotus Steps technique is extremely magical, and can even break free from some seals. Unfortunately, this great formation was planned and built by the Grand Master over decades, and also borrowed the power of the Purple Mountain range. Now that the space has collapsed, even powerful figures like Zhao Hao and the Grand Master himself have been sucked in. No matter how magical this technique is, it is just a futile resistance.
Zuan tried to take several steps, but found that he had not only not moved forward, but had instead retreated a little, which made his heart sink.
In his haste, he could only pull out the Tai'a sword and plant it in the ground. The Tai'a sword could barely stay in place, but the two of them almost instantly floated away.
The moving flags generally floated horizontally in the air.
Qiu Honglei's tears fell like pearls: "Grandpa, it's all my fault that you've been dragged into this. You shouldn't have saved me."
Zuan held her waist tightly, at a loss for what to do. Hearing this, he sighed, "How could I sit idly by and watch you be in danger without helping you?"
His expression was resolute, and he directly used his internal energy to throw her away: "Catch!"
With his current level of cultivation, Qiu Honglei was sent flying a distance like a cannonball after he exerted all his strength.
The force of the recoil caused him to lose his footing, and the ground where the Tai'a Sword stood completely collapsed. He spun around and flew into the abyss.
Qiu Honglei gasped in surprise. She immediately understood that the other person knew they had no hope of surviving and had chosen to rescue her.
Before she could wipe away her tears, she flicked her wrist, and a pink ribbon shot out, wrapping around the other person's waist.
At the same time, a white ribbon wrapped around her hand; it turned out that Yan Xuehen, who was in the distance, had not wasted this opportunity.
Why did she and Yun Jianyuexiu wait so long? They were on the outer perimeter, and the great formation was constantly collapsing, gradually reducing its impact on the outside. After rescuing Xie Daoyun, the two of them barely managed to stand.
I just happened to see Zuan desperately trying to save Qiu Honglei, and then throwing her out.
"This kid is really reckless when it comes to picking up girls!" Yan Xuehen didn't have time to complain and instinctively shot out a ribbon to catch Qiu Honglei.
A tremendous force suddenly surged through the ribbon, causing her to lose her balance and stumble towards the collapsing formation.
Fortunately, Yun Jianyue reacted quickly and grabbed her waist.
The suction force was so terrifying that neither of them could...
He possessed the demeanor of a grandmaster, but he simply used all his instincts.
Xie Daoyun, who had been sent to a more distant place, hurriedly formed a hand seal, and a phantom hand grabbed the two women, barely managing to steady herself.
However, the powerful suction still caused the group of people to move step by step towards the collapsing vortex.
Seeing this, Zu'an hurriedly shouted, "Let go, or you'll all be dead!"
Qiu Honglei pursed her lips and shook her head desperately, then reached out and tightly wrapped the ribbon around her hand several more times.
Yan Xuehen's face was as calm as autumn water. Naturally, she did not let go, but instead used all her skills to try to pull the two people inside out.
However, a crisp sound of tearing fabric soon rang out. It turned out that the white silk ribbon could not withstand the weight of the two people and the terrifying suction force, and it broke directly.
From the moment a crack appeared on the ribbon to its breakage, there was almost no time for anyone to react.
Yan Xuehen was filled with regret. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have given the Hun Tian Ling to Chu Yan in the first place.
However, she did not hesitate and instinctively lunged forward, grabbing the broken half of the ribbon.
But he was also pulled into the great formation along with it.
Yun Jianyue was taken aback and, without thinking, rushed over and grabbed her ankle.
Xie Daoyun's face was pale, but she didn't have time to think. She leaped forward and grabbed Yun Jianyue, while her other hand gripped the ground tightly.
"Ice Stone Maiden, you risked your life to save my disciple this time. If I have the chance to live, I will definitely repay this favor." Yun Jianyue was too embarrassed to thank her for saving Zu An, so she could only use Qiu Honglei as a shield.
Yan Xuehen was also embarrassed to admit that she was unwilling.
Seeing that Zuan was in trouble, he bit his lip and said, "I'm afraid there won't be that chance."
At this moment, the space inside the great formation rapidly collapsed, at a speed many times faster than before, and the suction force was also many times greater than before.
With Xie Daoyun's skill level, she could no longer hold on. The void hand generated by the talisman shattered, and the group cried out as they were sucked into the vortex.
Just then, on another mountain range in Zishan, at the temporary residence of Biluo Palace, the disciples of the Nine Sects had not emerged from the Daoist secret realm as scheduled. However, the emperor was about to perform the Heaven-worshiping and Fengshan ceremony, so they could not stay at the Golden Summit. Therefore, they temporarily settled down in a nearby mountain range, waiting for the secret realm to reopen and welcome the disciples of the various sects out.
