"I feel..."
Lying on the earthen bed, Tang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
"Has Elder Hua been gone for quite some time?"
"Um?"
Liu Shengyun turned around in confusion.
"Has it been a long time...?"
He pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"It does seem to have taken a bit longer."
"I hope nothing bad has happened to him. I have a bad feeling about this."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shengyun did not react, but An Zhen on the other side suddenly opened her eyes and struggled to prop herself up.
"Something's about to happen!"
Why do you say that?
Liu Shengyun was somewhat puzzled by An Zhen's reaction.
"Nonsense, I've been partners with this guy for so many years, and every single time his premonitions have come true!"
"ah?"
Liu Shengyun subconsciously looked at Tang Yuan, realizing for the first time that he had this kind of buff.
"Something has most likely happened to Elder Hua. We can't wait here any longer."
An Zhen frowned.
"If enemies come later, you..."
He had only spoken halfway when his expression suddenly changed drastically.
"broken!"
The next moment, a huge roar resounded not far away.
Liu Shengyun turned around abruptly. At that moment, a suppressed and eerie atmosphere suddenly surged around the once tranquil cave.
"They're here!"
An Zhen's face was extremely gloomy.
"break!"
With a furious shout, a deafening roar followed, as if the heavens and earth trembled.
The seemingly solid cave ceiling was instantly torn open with a huge gash by a powerful surge of black spiritual energy.
Gravel fell like raindrops, raising a cloud of dust.
The black spiritual energy surged in like a burst dam, rushing into the opening and instantly filling the entire cave.
"I'll hold them off for a moment, you guys hurry up and go!"
Despite his weakened state, Tang Yuan stood up from the earthen bed.
"Let me do it; your body is too weak."
Liu Shengyun said.
"Stop talking nonsense! What use are you two, one a cripple and the other a Snake Core Realm cultivator?!"
"Forehead……"
Liu Shengyun felt like he had been hit with a critical strike of ten thousand points.
"So what if I'm at the Serpent Core Realm? Okay, I am a bit weak, indeed..."
As the two were talking, three black figures flew into the cave from above.
The group looked up and saw a middle-aged man and two elderly men suspended in the air.
Tang Yuan stared at the middle-aged man in the lead, his fists gradually clenching.
Xu Chuang looked down at the group, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
The next moment, he saw the unconscious man in the corner.
"Lan'er!"
Xu Chuang's pupils contracted, and she reached out to pull her son over.
"stop!"
With a loud shout, Xu Chuang subconsciously stopped what he was doing.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man with a broken leg lying half-reclined on the earthen bed.
"A cripple dares to spout nonsense in front of this sect master?"
"Hmph, you really are the sect leader of the Black Moon Sect."
"So what if it is?"
"You'd better not make any rash moves, if you don't want your son to die here!"
Upon hearing An Zhen's words, Xu Chuang's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You poisoned Lan'er?"
His spiritual sense scanned Xu Lan's entire body. His breathing was steady, and apart from being unconscious, he could not see anything unusual.
"You're lying to me, Lan'er wasn't poisoned at all."
"Sure, you can give it a try. I have no objection."
With Liu Shengyun's help, An Zhen struggled to stand up on her one leg.
He looked up and met Xu Chuang's gaze, his face showing no fear whatsoever.
"You can't escape. This place has been sealed by a magic array created by three elders of our sect who are at the peak of the Dragon Marrow Realm. No matter how powerful you are, you can't escape."
Outside the cave, three black-robed elders hovered in three different directions, and a transparent light curtain had already formed, enveloping the cave.
"If we can't escape, we can't escape. At worst, we'll drag your son down with us!"
Tang Yuan roared.
"Once I capture you all, I will search your souls one by one. I refuse to believe that I will not be able to find the antidote."
"Sure, you can give it a try."
An Zhen said.
"Let's see if you can act faster, or if I can activate the poison in his body faster."
Xu Chuang stared at him, veins bulging on his forehead.
He turned his head and gave one to the two people next to him, and the two old men immediately understood.
The next moment, An Zhen seemed to realize something, and her expression changed drastically.
"Don't move, or else..."
He had barely opened his mouth when Xu Chuang's arm was already raised.
A black vortex churned, and a black light curtain shot towards Xu Han in the corner in an instant.
An Zhen tried to stop him, but he was seriously injured and his movements were no longer as swift as before.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Chuang's black spiritual power had already enveloped Xu Lan.
Only at this moment did a smile appear on his face for the first time.
"I don't believe that you can conjure up any kind of bullshit poison under the protection of my spiritual power!"
At the same moment, the two elders at the Dragon Marrow Realm beside him attacked together.
A black full moon materialized in the sky, its aura of destruction clearly revealed.
Two black moons reflected each other, then crashed down with a tremendous hum.
"I'll stop them!!"
Tang Yuan roared, his recently recovered spiritual energy circulating rapidly within him.
"It can't be stopped."
Liu Shengyun looked desperate; he couldn't think of any way to escape under these circumstances.
Are we all destined to die?
But in the next instant, ripples suddenly appeared in the stable space.
"Um?"
Under the shocked gazes of Xu Chuang and the others, a spatial rift appeared in the void without warning.
Immediately afterwards, a slender figure flew out from the spatial rift, and a familiar, clear voice rang in everyone's ears.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you all from the Prison Wind Hall."
(It's all over, everyone ┭┮﹏┭┮, this book has been taken off the recommendation list. The good parts at the beginning weren't explored in depth, so it might really be doomed...)
