Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 232 Reversal
The red line's camouflage was flawless. Apart from Wei Xi, who was being drilled by it, even Qin Feng, who had the sharpest sense, didn't notice it.

This red line didn't know what evil wind was blowing, and it kept shrinking itself.

As its host, Wei Xi could vaguely feel that this thing rolled itself into a ball and huddled near the Qi Palace, pretending to be dead.

"How could the formation fail!" Qin Feng spread out his spiritual power, searching for any unusual spiritual power fluctuations.

"The sealing formation is already showing signs of loosening. Any disturbance could be the final straw."

There was a subtle disappointment in Shen Fu's heart: she had hoped that the Qingcheng Sect's method would be useful, at least to keep the area safe, and the sacrifices of her fellow Taoists would not be in vain.

However, this predicament inspired Shen Fu's fighting spirit, and her outstanding leadership qualities reappeared.

"Now that things have come to this, please ask Fellow Daoist Wei and Fellow Daoist Yu to take the injured away from the trial field as soon as possible," Shen Fu said decisively, "and find the head of the Zhenhai Sect to inform them of the situation here."

"Friend Wang, Friend Qin, please help me hold back the Sky-Swallowing Beast. We absolutely cannot let the monster leave the trial field before help arrives!"

Shen Fu was really ready to die. At this moment, she felt both regret for her misjudgment and self-blame for being unable to retain her teammates... It was really a hard feeling.

It is also reasonable to arrange Wei Xi and Yu Jin, two Qi-refining cultivators, to go and seek reinforcements.

But Wei Xi had some other thoughts in his mind.

The center of the formation was a bait made by her own hands, with a layer of monk's body acting as a buffer, and it was directly rushed into the throat, so the harpoon would not be accidentally damaged.

Moreover, the array core itself has countless defense mechanisms. With the current strength of the Swallowing Beast, it is impossible to digest the array core in its stomach in a short time.

But Shen Fu is not a person who speaks nonsense, and Qin Feng will not lie to her.

Wei Xi's eyes flickered with surprise. The yin and yang energy around the Devouring Sky Beast was churning, yet it was being absorbed by this evil creature. Could it be that the formation hadn't failed? Was it simply the leaked yin and yang energy that was being absorbed by the formation?
Within half a minute, Wei Xi made a decision: go out and report the news first, and let professionals solve this problem.

When disaster strikes, none of the five people dare to slack off.

When they parted, Wei Xi stuffed all the usable talismans and magic tools into Qin Feng's hands, fearing that something might happen to his good friend.

Wei Xi and Yu Jin hurried towards the camp, and soon they heard the sound of swords clashing. The mad Swallowing Beast showed its huge potential, and with the falling fragments of the domain, the three people and the beast attacked each other desperately.

The corpses of monsters can be seen everywhere on the road. Most of them were killed by the falling fragments of the domain. There are also some old corpses, which were exposed along with the barren mountains as the illusion gradually shattered.

The withered vegetation, corpses scattered everywhere and the barren land make people sigh at the talent of the Devouring Beast in creating illusions.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, don't worry." Yu Jin's nose was covered with fine beads of sweat. "The original environment of the trial field has been exposed. It can be seen that this monster is being suppressed by Qin Feng!"

Yu Jin was trying to comfort Wei Xi with good intentions, but he was filled with doubts.

Wei Xi keenly felt that she had missed some details, but unfortunately time was too tight and she had no time to think about it before she arrived at the camp halfway up the mountain.

After the illusion faded, the camp looked even more dilapidated and quiet. The wounded were simply lying in two piles according to their gender.

Without any surprise, these people were still in a coma. Since there were no medicine cultivators or alchemy cultivators in the team, these unfortunate people did not receive timely treatment. There are roughly two situations: stable and unstable.

The mess in the camp showed that Shen Fu had left in a hurry, but she was very careful and even though she left in a hurry, she still gave the wounded a simple treatment.

Wei Xi and Yu Jin didn't care much and piled the wounded, whose lives were uncertain, onto the cart. Fearing they might fall and die, Wei Xi found the time to tie them to the cart, ignoring trivial matters like whether the force was appropriate or the rough cloth was worn away.

Only those who are sober and standing are qualified to be picky.

Moreover, in such a critical moment, it is a blessing for our ancestors if someone can lend a helping hand and save people from danger.

If Wei Xi hadn't made a mistake today and rushed to rescue people, most of the people here would probably have died here.

"Wanjian Sect, Linchuan Pavilion, Duanye Sect, Zhenhai Sect... Oh my god, if we don't take these away, the elite of the younger generation of each sect will perish..." Yu Jin, whose mouth is the real body, complained to Wei Xi while organizing supplies.

Wei Xi dealt with it casually, thinking about the three people who were facing off against the Qing-Swallowing Beast.

Fortunately, this was an emergency, and the two men tried to act quickly. They took nothing from the camp, leaving only the unconscious monk and the precious magic weapon.

The Sky-Swallowing Beast was huge in size, and when it fought, the sky was dark and the earth was pitch black. Wei Xi could see it from a long distance away.

He was still a little hesitant at first, but when he saw Shen Fu and the other two trying to lure the Qing-Swallowing Beast away from the collapsed sky, Wei Xi determined that the exit was here.

Wei Xi squeezed out the little spiritual power he had, performed the Moving Technique, and controlled the cart carrying the wounded to float in the air.

As for the various emergencies encountered along the way, they can only be left to the shed tears of Yu Jin.

Fortunately, the kid from Tiandimen had some skills. With his amazing intuition, the two of them arrived near the lake safely.

"The principle of the trial field is similar to that of the secret realm," Wei Xi suppressed the sweet taste in his throat, "Let's find a way to get out from the broken place..."

"How... do I get up there?" Yu Jin looked at the distant sky, tears streaming down his face.

Wei Xi hated crying the most, especially at such a critical juncture. He interrupted impatiently, "Pull water to freeze it, or use a spell. Anyway, this hole is here. If we don't get out, we'll all die!"

Yu Jin said sternly, "Fellow Daoist Wei, you are wrong. The world may seem unpredictable, but in reality, everything is predetermined. You must not harbor resentment. This cave must have its reason for being here..."

"Bullshit!" Wei Xi spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes red, "Think of a way!"

"With your temper... no wonder you've suffered so much..." Yu Jin muttered, but his hands did not stop moving.

Yu Jin took out a bluish-white stick tube from his Qiankun bag. It was the [Soul-Chasing Stick] that he had used as a weapon before.

I saw Yu Jin gently shaking the stick tube, and the sticks inside, which were made of unknown material, made a low roar, and the part exposed outside vibrated violently.

Jie Yujin stretched out his left hand, broke off his little finger in front of Wei Xi, and drew an intricate pattern with the blood.

The sound of [Soul-Chasing Sign] grew louder and louder, like an excited hound that smelled blood.

Yu Jin's face was pale, as if he had spent a lot of energy. He squeezed out a string of nonsense from between his teeth, and urged his spiritual power to grind the severed finger into blood-red powder, which wrapped around the body that was about to jump out.

A handful of sticks flew out of the stick tube and transformed into a huge staircase leading to the hole in the sky.

Yu Jin covered his wound and said with a grin, "A finger in exchange for a life, it's not a loss..."
