The underground palace was still shaking. Outside the palace, the cultivators guarding the area also noticed something different: the trees in the entire area seemed to have withered all of a sudden, turning yellow in patches, as did the flowers and grass on the ground.
The sight was chilling; no one knew what had happened, but there was an inexplicable feeling that something was being destroyed.
There were no plants inside the underground palace, but it still made people feel uneasy.
Xin Shi has been brought under control, but the formation has not stopped.
The earthquake lasted for about 15 minutes, and no one found out where he had hidden the Yin-Yang Candle.
Just then, in the group of five sects, Lu Wenxing suddenly turned pale and covered his head, seemingly suffering great pain.
Before long, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Shi Xuan was the first to notice that something was wrong with him. They had a contractual relationship, so the moment Lu Wenxing showed any unusual behavior, Shi Xuan went to his side.
"Second Senior Brother!" Shi Xuan called anxiously, placing his hand on his shoulder. "Second Senior Brother!"
Lu Wenxing was speechless. His gaze toward Shi Xuan was clear at times, but sometimes confused, as if his consciousness was drifting away from him.
Shi Xuan's first reaction was that Xin Shi must have done something to him.
Xin Shi approached him several times, using tactics ranging from appeasement to sending people to forcibly arrest him. He estimated that Lu Wenxing had much more to gain.
But at this moment, when Xuan Meng looked at Xin Shi, the look of surprise in his eyes had not yet disappeared. He seemed to be very surprised by Lu Wenxing's reaction as well!
What's going on? If Xin Shi wasn't behind this, why would Lu Wenxing react this way?
Shi Xuan accepted Xin Shi's silencing talisman and then injected a gust of wind from the void into his body.
The force of that gale can cause unbearable pain just by raging on the surface of the body, let alone if it directly penetrates the body.
Xin Shi could no longer laugh at that moment. His features were all scrunched up, and he no longer had the arrogance he had just displayed, nor could he maintain his previous refined demeanor.
"What have you done? Where is the Yin-Yang Candle? If you don't tell me today, I'll make you wish you were dead forever!"
This was the first time Shi Xuan had treated someone like this. Now that the formation was activated, they didn't know what the consequences would be if they continued. In addition, Lu Wenxing's current state made Shi Xuan extremely anxious, even though he was forcibly suppressing his emotions.
Xin Shi, in agony, barely managed to lift his head to look at Shi Xuan, his voice hoarse, "Too late!"
These two words seemed to have taken him a great deal of effort, and he spoke them with great difficulty.
Then he turned his head to look at Lu Wenxing, unable to suppress a greedy expression, and said with great regret, "What a pity, what a pity!"
Shi Xuan immediately saw what he was regretting.
Lu Wenxing is currently in a state of confusion, seemingly about to faint at any moment, making it the perfect opportunity for possession.
He had already promised himself to Lu Wenxing, so he was naturally regretful at this moment, as he was powerless to take over Lu Wenxing's body.
Clearly, he didn't know what had happened to Lu Wenxing either.
The last time Lu Wenxing acted strangely was after his Ice Spirit Root awakened. But now he has reached the Divine Transformation stage, and both of his spiritual roots have been properly resolved. He no longer has any other hidden dangers. So, this sudden change can only be attributed to the influence of this formation. Shi Xuan can't think of any other reason.
But Xin Shi didn't know!
The array that Xin Shi created may not be the Nine Provinces Chaotic Soul Array, but he must have known what its function was.
Judging from his expression now, he doesn't know!
Shi Xuan's mind was racing. She had thought about the connection between these things so much, but she still had no clue!
Shi Xuan, who usually thinks three steps ahead when considering a situation, is unable to understand the reason for this for the first time under such circumstances.
There is definitely a relationship, but what exactly is it?
At this moment, Lin Daozi and Lu Shenzhi also surrounded Lu Wenxing, looking at him with concern.
Shi Xuan released the red-haired creature and said to Lin Daozi, "Master, please take the red-haired creature and destroy the Cixi Tree first."
Lin Daozi felt like he had strength but couldn't use it.
He had clearly not been in a large-scale battle yet; his body was full of spiritual energy, but he didn't know where to direct it.
At this moment, Shi Xuan said, "Regardless of whether the Cixi Tree is related to this formation, it's best to eliminate it first!"
Lin Daozi glanced at Lu Wenxing, knowing he couldn't help his second disciple here, so he turned and led the red-haired man down underground.
From the moment the formation was activated, Shi Xuan used the most basic method, fully mobilizing her Myriad Life to cover the patterns on the plaza, hoping to slow down the formation's generation speed.
But at this moment, it seems to have little effect.
"Second Senior Brother!" Shi Xuan patted Lu Wenxing on the back: "Second Senior Brother, how do you feel? Can you tell me?"
Lu Wenxing mustered all his strength and looked at Shi Xuan, "Junior Sister..."
It wasn't that he didn't want to talk about it; he simply couldn't describe any other feelings besides feeling miserable.
Moreover, he had a feeling that his consciousness was about to leave him, and he was about to faint!
Shi Xuan was extremely anxious at this moment. She looked at Master Lin of the Lianfeng Sword Sect and said, "Master, can't we perform a soul search?!"
Master Lin gently shook his head.
Shi Xuan was desperate and grasping at straws.
In the cultivation world, it has never been heard of a cultivator at the Integration stage being able to have their soul searched.
The so-called fusion refers to the merging of a cultivator's nascent soul, primordial spirit, and physical body into one. In such a case, memories and body are integrated, and it would probably take a celestial being to search his soul.
With so many high-level cultivators here, yet unable to solve the problem at hand, it's truly frustrating and frustrating.
For a moment, Shi Xuan thought that it would be better to just kill Xin Shi. This extremely wicked person who wreaked havoc on the world deserves to die a hundred times over.
The organization 【New Life】 has harmed so many people that even they themselves probably can't count them all. Shi Xuan has heard of several cases like the complete annihilation of Wanjian Village, and there must have been some of the work of 【New Life】.
And the remaining innocent people in those secret realms whose beast souls were replaced are countless!
Thinking of this, Shi Xuan unleashed an even more intense gust of wind. Even if he couldn't kill him for the time being, he wouldn't let him get away with it!
Even though Xin Shi was a high-level cultivator in the Integration stage, he couldn't help but groan in pain at this moment.
Shi Xuan silenced him again, leaving him with only a pained expression.
The tremors in the underground palace stopped after a quarter of an hour.
During this time, everyone was busy, some going out to search, some using their spiritual senses, but they found nothing.
After the shaking stopped, Lu Wenxing's condition seemed to have improved, or perhaps it had worsened. He seemed to have lost consciousness and walked straight toward the center of the square, where Xin Shi was.
