Amidst the chaos, everyone activated the mountain-protecting formation once more. Each activation of this formation was incredibly costly; they had already activated it twice in less than two hours—it would have been better to leave it unactivated from the beginning.
Several buildings have been destroyed to this day.
Ke Qiansong rushed to the group and, through the protective mountain array, asked, "Sect Leader Shi, what is the meaning of this?"
Shi Mingxiu snorted coldly and said, "Why ask such a question? Our sects are currently in a state of hostility, so it is perfectly normal for us to come and attack!"
Ke Qiansong... was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, he only regretted that his sect lacked a master to protect them; his strongest was himself, but he was merely a Nascent Soul cultivator. On the other side, Lin Daozi, a mere Void Refinement cultivator, was enough to subdue them.
With the sect leader absent, the elders who are in seclusion will not emerge unless something major threatens the safety of the sect.
Moreover, if the ancestor is eventually brought out, it will turn into an uncontrollable war, because once their ancestor comes out, the ancestors of other sects will also come out. If several ancestors who have reached the Nascent Soul or Out-of-Body stage fight each other, it will be a disaster for the entire Qian Yuan Western Region.
Never before had he wished the sect leader were within the sect as much as he did now.
However, since Fan Mingzhu went astray and left two years ago, the sect leader has rarely been seen, spending his days searching for clues about his daughter. The entire Divine Cauldron Sect is now in disarray.
Today, someone came to our door and beat us up, practically slapping us in the face. We had no chance to fight back, which is heartbreaking and regrettable.
He couldn't help but wonder if their Divine Cauldron Sect had really fallen into such a state.
The people from the Lianfeng Sword Sect couldn't understand his thinking. After unleashing a barrage of attacks and destroying several buildings, they retreated again.
However, even though the people had left, they were not willing to let their guard down at all, and the mountain-protecting formation remained closed for a long time.
It wasn't until night fell and darkness completely enveloped the area that the elders of the Divine Cauldron Sect discussed and decided to shut down the mountain-protecting formation.
To everyone's surprise, in the pitch-black night, less than half an hour after they shut down the great formation, several members of the Lianfeng Sword Sect descended from the sky again and attacked their main peak once more.
After several such incidents, their main peak has been completely destroyed.
When the Divine Cauldron Sect raised its protective mountain array for the third time, the members of the Converging Edge Sword Sect disappeared again.
This feeling is absolutely awful!
Ke Qiansong had already used the communication jade to notify Fan Hongde and the Void Refinement stage elders who were traveling outside.
Fan Hongde did not react at all, but several elders at the Void Refinement stage were already on their way back.
But even the fastest they can get there will take three days.
Helpless, Ke Qiansong could only keep the mountain-protecting formation activated, waiting for the high-level cultivators in the sect to return.
Meanwhile, Shi Mingxiu and the others had already returned to the Lianfeng Sword Sect.
On the way back, Lu Wenxing said indignantly, "That old dog Fan Hongde has left our junior sister's life hanging in the balance. Are we just going to let it go like this?"
Shi Mingxiu looked at him, sighed helplessly, and said, "We can't just let it go like this, but now is not a good time. We caught them off guard when we attacked them just now. Now that they have suffered two losses, the mountain-protecting formation is probably not going to be dismantled. Moreover, they will definitely call for reinforcements. We can't just sit and wait to die. Let's go back to the sect and discuss countermeasures again."
Lu Wenxing didn't want to discuss countermeasures; he just wanted to wipe them out completely. But he knew that was impossible, so Lu Wenxing could only fum inwardly, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed tightly.
The other three people standing with Lu Wenxing also looked worried, indicating that they were quite concerned about Shi Xuan's situation.
Seeing this, Shi Mingxiu continued, "When I came from the sect, I specifically went to check on Shi Xuan's soul lamp. Although the fluctuations were obvious, there was no sign of it going out. Don't worry, you should have some faith in your junior sister."
Hearing Shi Mingxiu say that, the four children finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Under such circumstances, having already been affected by Fan Hongde's attack, and then falling into the spacetime rift without any preparation, it was a near-death experience.
Conversely, it is precisely because Shi Xuan was the one who fell into trouble that he was able to survive and win this glimmer of hope.
The Shi Xuan they were worried about was now in a vast void, where there was no day or night, no east, west, south, or north, and all that could be seen was a blank expanse.
The only thing that could be seen in the void was the sharp, dagger-like gale.
These fierce winds blew relentlessly, leaving no way to avoid them.
The defensive magical artifacts that Shi Xuan initially summoned were quickly destroyed. If this continued, she would not have enough magical artifacts at all.
At this point, Shi Xuan was out of Fan Hongde's control and could contact Yin Shuang.
She slipped into the secret realm and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Amidst the silvery frost, beside the spiritual spring, the trees flourished, and several spirit pets flitted among them, creating a scene of serene tranquility.
"Who just tore open the void for me?" Shi Xuan asked, regaining his senses.
The situation was urgent, and she couldn't figure out what was happening at that moment, but she couldn't help but wonder if any of her spirit pets possessed such a rare ability.
Jin Dada and Jin Duoduo stared at each other, while Hongmao sat blankly by the well, looking too lazy to move.
Since eating the Cixi Tree last time, although he didn't fall into a deep sleep like the first time, he was always lazy and didn't want to move.
These three radiant figures couldn't possibly be them. Tearing through the void requires an immense amount of spiritual energy; after this, it would likely take several years to recover.
"What about bringing wealth?" Shi Xuan asked.
Upon hearing this, Red Hair turned to the side, revealing a small white ball on his shoulder, which was Zhao Cai.
Zhao Cai nestled motionless against Hong Mao's neck, and Shi Xuan immediately noticed that Zhao Cai was noticeably smaller.
It's not much bigger now than when Shi Xuan first found it; it had clearly grown a lot before.
The case is solved. It turns out that Zhao Cai opened the crack for her!
This tiny white ball of fluff has such amazing abilities.
When Shi Xuan found it, he never imagined that it would one day save his life; he only thought of it as a cute little spirit pet. But some things are just predestined.
Shi Xuan walked to Hong Mao's side, picked up the little white ball of dough with both hands and looked at it. Its breathing was still relatively stable, but its size had shrunk, as if it had returned to its childhood.
Seeing that it was relatively stable, Shi Xuan put it back on the red-haired creature and made a small nest for it, finding a comfortable spot to put it inside.
When I turned around, I thought for a moment and picked two more leaves from the Enlightenment Tree and placed them next to it, so it could have some nourishment when it woke up.
After settling the treasure, Shi Xuan sat by the spiritual spring, lost in thought.
