The situation with the formation in the Misty Abyss was slightly more serious, resulting in the loss of five lives, but fortunately, everyone's lives were saved.
If Shen Sangruo and his group had been inside the Luonanchuan Formation for more than a year, it was clear how dangerous and difficult the formation was.
Seeing them all come out, the people guarding outside the barrier were overjoyed.
Not only did they emerge safely, but it also signifies that all the formations set up by the evil cultivators in the cultivation world have been broken.
What an exciting and joyous occasion!
"They're out! They're finally out! How are you all? What happened inside?" Mingxi, the sect leader of Tianjian Sect, stepped forward and tightly grasped Mei Mei's hand.
None of them looked well; the worry on each of their faces was clearly visible.
Furthermore, those outside the barrier first heard Qi Yan say that the situation was so critical that he had to break his contract with Shen Sangruo.
That told me they must have run into big trouble inside.
They had just witnessed the barrier collapsing inwards again, and the twisted and swaying appearance they had never seen before made them panic.
Only when the barrier stabilized and Shen Sangruo and the others emerged from it did their hearts settle down.
But I'm still worried about their condition.
Shen Sangruo, in particular, was closely watched by Immortal Lord Changli and Ye Huai.
Qi Yan would never break his contract with her unless she was on the verge of death, which shows how badly she was injured at that time.
Before Mei Mei could speak, Ming Xi's gaze swept back and forth over the group of people who had come out, and her expression suddenly froze. "One, two... six, seven, seven, how can there only be seven people?"
Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen's attention was originally entirely on Shen Sangruo.
They were indifferent and blaming towards the three people who left without permission and didn't invite them along.
Upon hearing Mingxi's words, the two turned their attention back to Feng Heyun and Wen Xuan, but did not see the third person.
Feng Heyun suppressed his grief and said to the two of them, "Master, Sect Master, Fourth Junior Brother... he's dead."
"He became the core of the formation in order to save us," Wen Xuan added, his voice choked with emotion.
After all, they were fellow disciples for many years, and the loss of Luo Chu brought them immense pain. At this moment, they urgently needed close friends and family to share this pain with them, and they needed their elders to support them.
However, Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen's reactions were not as great as they had imagined.
Shen Daochen simply frowned and said, "What?"
They didn't take Luo Chu seriously, and there was even a hint of doubt in their tone.
Master Lingxiao didn't ask a single question, acting more like an insignificant person than his disciple.
He was already dissatisfied with Luo Chu because of what Luo Chu had done before, so he didn't react much at this moment.
The expressions on the faces of the others were even more shocked than those of the two.
Even with Shen Sangruo leading the team, some people still lost their lives, suggesting that the danger of this formation might be even more terrifying than they imagined.
To save time and prevent the Feiyun Sect members from getting bogged down in explanations, Chen Sangruo took the lead and quickly recounted what had happened inside the formation.
Now, let's get to the important part.
“The evil cultivator used this formation to create that evil creature, which has already escaped. Judging from your appearance, you must not have fought it.”
The people outside the barrier looked even more solemn. During the time they had been waiting, they had not discovered anything coming out of the barrier.
So many of them were completely unaware of that evil entity; how terrifying must it be? It must be a formidable opponent.
Moreover, if the evil cultivator created the evil object so that he could violently destroy the cultivation world, he should have attacked them directly when he left the barrier.
Instead of passing them by and disappearing without a trace.
The evil cultivator must have given that evil entity other tasks, tasks even more insidious than violently destroying the cultivation world.
This situation, where I am in the open while the enemy is in the shadows, is even more challenging.
"The most urgent task is to find that evil thing as soon as possible," Shen Sangruo said in a deep voice. "Only by finding that evil thing can we avoid falling into a passive position."
At this moment, the joy that everyone felt at the breaking of the formation vanished.
"I will immediately arrange for the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits to notify the entire cultivation world and send people to search for the traces of that evil creature," said True Monarch Gu Ci.
The Heavenly Sword Sect, the Alchemy Sect, the Weapon Refining Sect, and the Jiang Family all immediately began arranging various matters.
Shen Sangruo directly arranged for Ninghua Sect to return and deliver the message immediately.
The matter was urgent, and there was no time to welcome the newcomers. Everyone hurried back to their respective sects.
Shen Sanruo glanced at Qing Shu, as if she had thought of something, and walked to Qing Shu's side.
"Qing Shu, is there any news from Xuanwu?"
Before she entered the barrier, Qing Shu had said that she would contact Xuanwu.
Given the current situation, Xuanwu absolutely cannot afford any more problems.
That evil creature could even evade Qing Shu and Qi Yan's senses, so a fierce battle was inevitable afterward.
“I got in touch with it, but its response was strange.” Qing Shu thought of Xuanwu’s answer and felt a little embarrassed to say it. “It said that it was not in danger, but it seemed to have encountered a ghost, and there was something on it all the time.”
"I don't understand what it means, and when I ask it, it can't explain the situation either."
Shen Sangruo's brows furrowed involuntarily, clearly puzzled by the answer.
Ghosts? Do such things even exist in the cultivation world? It's hard to imagine that these words came from the mouth of Xuanwu, one of the Five Divine Beasts.
"Right? You find it strange too, don't you?" Qi Yan said from the side.
She quickly composed herself. "Can you sense its location? Just to be on the safe side, it would be better to find it."
"It feels a bit blurry, maybe it's because it's quite far away from me. I can set off to find it, but can you manage here?" Qing Shu was referring to the evil creature.
Qing Shu was still quite wary of that evil creature.
After a moment's thought, she made a decision, "Let's go look for it first. If we can't handle it here, we'll have Qiyan contact you."
Qing Shu nodded, agreeing that it was feasible. "Then I'll go."
Before setting off to find Xuanwu, Qing Shu decided to contact it first and ask where it was.
Although she knew it was highly unlikely that it could be explained clearly, since she had asked it before.
If things can be clarified this time, it will save her a lot of trouble.
But just as she was about to contact Xuanwu, Xuanwu's voice appeared in her mind first.
"Sister Qing Shu, that 'ghost' seems to have disappeared!" The voice, which usually trembled with fear, was now filled with excitement and joy. "I can come find you right away!"
Qing Shu slowly typed out a question mark, looking completely bewildered.
Before Qing Shu could react to what was happening, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.
No one was surprised, because the ground would shake like this every time the formation was broken.
Until they discovered a protruding claw on the barrier.
