With both key points of the formation destroyed and the formation broken, the secret realm that depended on the formation naturally collapsed.
The group hurriedly searched for the exit from the secret realm.
When no one paid attention, Zhili hadn't finished speaking the last part of his sentence.
Shi Zhili: ...
Well then, if we're going to apologize, we can't be so hasty.
How many people know about his prejudice against Shen Sangruo? How many people should see his apology?
The exit of the secret realm is not far from here, so it's not too hard to find.
The ten people managed to leave the secret realm before it collapsed.
Aside from some minor injuries, the operation resulted in no serious injuries or deaths, and the evil cultivators managed to break the formation they had set up.
When Feng Heyun and the others left, they still felt it was somewhat unbelievable.
Upon entering the secret realm, the moment those phantoms appeared, they thought they were destined to perish there.
Judging by the time, they had only been inside for half a day.
So they easily broke the evil cultivator's formation?
A sense of unreality filled their hearts.
The reason this formation could be broken was largely due to the presence of Zhili and Xiaohei, two people and souls who shouldn't have appeared, which was just enough to quell the resentment and obsession of the phantoms on both sides.
The outcome would not have been the same if either Shen Sangruo or Shi Zhili had been absent.
Those phantoms are enough to give anyone who enters the secret realm a hard time, but they have a fatal weakness.
This weakness was carefully concealed by the evil cultivators, who cut off all escape routes for the Taichu Sect, while no one among the demonic cultivators except Ya Lan could suppress them.
Thus, the resentment and obsession on both sides cannot be resolved.
The evil cultivators thought they had everything under control, but they never imagined that there would be survivors from the Tai Chu Sect, let alone that Ya Lan's remnant soul could be tamed.
It all started almost a year ago with Chen Sangruo's feat of "eating the cliff's edge raw".
Otherwise, none of the Taichu Sect would have survived.
The breaking of such a powerful formation caused the ground within a radius of a hundred miles to shake violently.
Immortal Lord Changli and the others guarding outside the barrier noticed the unusual activity and immediately became tense, all looking towards the barrier.
"What's going on? Why is it suddenly shaking?"
"Could something have happened to them?!"
Just when everyone's hearts were in their throats, the voice of the Ancient Virtuous Lord, amplified by spiritual power, reached everyone's ears.
"Prepare to open the barrier! They're coming out!"
The magical artifacts they were holding were faintly glowing, indicating that Shen Sangruo and the others were within five meters of the barrier.
Suppressing all their thoughts, everyone immediately gathered their strength and attacked the location designated by True Monarch Gu Ci.
Shen Sangruo and the others are behind that barrier!
The barrier and the formation were set up separately. Even if the formation was broken, the barrier would still exist.
Perhaps because they were in a hurry, everyone disregarded the pain of the backlash. Immortal Lord Changli, Immortal Lady Qingluan, Daoist Wuwei, True Man Lingxiao, Shen Daochen, Qiyan, and the Snake Woman all poured their power into the barrier as if their lives depended on it.
Soon, a crack was torn open in the barrier.
Everyone was filled with unease, fearing that what would happen next would be a scene where people were missing, or that people were missing limbs.
Only after seeing all ten people emerge from the barrier with their arms and legs intact did I feel relieved.
Although their bodies were stained with blood, I checked them with my divine sense and they were all minor injuries, though they looked a bit scary.
However, what happened next was quite dramatic.
Almost everyone walked in the direction of Chen Sangruo.
Gu Ci Zhenjun came to inquire about what had happened inside the barrier. Chang Li Xianjun and the other two came forward to check on her condition. Qi Yan was only close to Shen Sangruo, and the snake woman was her contracted beast, so there was no need to mention her.
But Master Lingxiao and Shen Daochen also came to her side and asked with concern:
"Sang Ruo, how serious are your injuries? We have some medicine here, let us take a look."
Completely ignoring the four people, including Feng Heyun, who were almost covered in blood.
They had the most blood on them, while Shen Sanruo had the least.
In this situation, the group didn't say anything. After all, they were concerned about Shen Sangruo, so ignoring them wasn't a big deal.
But as soon as the two finished speaking, they were forcibly pushed aside by Immortal Lord Changli, who gave them a look that said, "What are you? How dare you bypass us and appear in front of her?"
Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen both turned green.
But there was nothing they could do; they couldn't defeat Immortal Lord Changli right now, so they could only swallow their anger and wait for Chen Sangruo's feelings to return.
"What happened inside the barrier? Why did it suddenly shake? Were your injuries caused by the formation?" Gu Ci Zhenjun asked.
"The ground shaking is probably because the formation has been broken," Chen Sangruo said, her voice tinged with a hint of joy.
Upon hearing this, everyone present showed expressions of surprise.
"Is this true?" Gu Ci Zhenjun was the first to come to his senses, his voice unconsciously excited, "But you have only been inside the barrier for half a day."
It wasn't that Gu Ci Zhenjun doubted Shen Sang's words; he knew best what her abilities were and knew that the formation had been broken, which was why he was so excited.
But this was so surprising that they all expected it to take several months, possibly requiring them to enter and exit the barrier several times, to break the formation.
But now they haven't even spent two days exploring the route.
Gu Ci Zhenjun's words conveyed more curiosity and surprise at how they had managed to do it.
"As expected of my disciple!" Immortal Lord Changli raised his chin slightly. No matter what, he would just praise him.
He emphasized each word, casting a provocative glance at Master Lingxiao.
As expected, this angered the latter so much that his chest heaved violently.
"Being able to break this formation was mostly a matter of coincidence and luck," Shen Sangruo recounted the events.
Such a thrilling start, yet the ending was so unexpected, and so easily resolved.
When it came to the part about the Taichu Sect's illusory array eye, she specifically asked Shi Zhili to speak.
This caused Jingxin Daoren and the other elders of Taichu Sect to have tears in their eyes.
Everyone present was deeply moved.
After she finished speaking, Song Weiyan added with a grin, "I guess those evil cultivators didn't expect that their carefully laid formation would be so easily broken by us."
"Yeah, I bet he's so angry his mouth is crooked." Su Xiyu chimed in with a smile.
After destroying the formation, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"After leaving the secret realm, the formation had not completely dissipated. Luo Chu had memorized that part of the formation, which might provide some clues to break it."
Gu Ci Zhenjun nodded and looked at Luo Chu, "Someone from the Wanling Palace will contact you later."
"Okay, okay." Luo Chu scratched his head. Actually, at that time he was only thinking about getting out of the barrier. It was only when Shen Sangruo reminded him that he remembered.
