The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

Xuan Yi and Lu Qingxi rushed to the legendary Ruoyou Valley, and saw a strange light flashing in front of them from afar. Their hearts tightened, and they quickened their pace, wanting to stop Song Hanyi and the other three in time. However, just as they were about to touch the light, a powerful force suddenly drew them in.

When the two stood firm, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. They saw the spiritual grass and plants growing luxuriantly and full of vitality all around, which was very different from the barren secret place in the legend. When they looked up in confusion, they saw a tall Bai Ze sleeping in front of them, and its majestic aura made them shudder.

Gu Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Is this the legendary Bai Ze?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Bai Ze was a demon beast that had been trapped in a secret place by Emperor Yang of the Immortal Cultivation World thousands of years ago. How could it appear here now? Could this be the secret place where Bai Ze was trapped?

Everyone's eyes were all on Mu Yao, and her appearance seemed to be inextricably linked to all this. Seeing this, Mu Yao pretended to be aggrieved, claiming that she came to Ruoyou Valley because she received a letter for help, and then she followed a wisp of black air all the way here.

Song Hanyi and Gu Yuan both had a crush on "Li Wanqing" and were naturally willing to believe her. Mu Jingxuan got along well with her and naturally had no intention of doubting her.

However, Xuan Yi and Lu Qingxi were not like that. They looked at each other and knew that the appearance of the woman in front of them was no accident. What surprised them even more was that the woman in front of them did not use any magic, but looked exactly like "Li Wanqing".

The two communicated with each other through their spiritual sense and decided to stay put for the time being and wait and see what would happen. They knew very well that if they were not careful at this moment, they might alert the enemy and all their efforts would go to waste. So, they followed behind Song Hanyi and the others, carefully observing the abnormality of the woman.

The group walked in Ruoyou Valley for a long time, and except for Bai Ze sleeping in front of them, they did not see any other living creatures. However, they could all feel that there was something unusual here, and there seemed to be an indescribable sense of oppression in the air.

Lu Qingxi couldn't get in touch with Xiaoliu since she entered the secret realm, which made her a little discouraged. But she knew that the most important thing at this moment was to stay alert and pay attention to the movements around her. So, she followed closely behind everyone and moved forward carefully.

As the sky gradually darkened, a new scene finally appeared in front of us. A tightly bound Bai Ze fell to the ground, with thick ropes wrapped around his body, looking extremely embarrassed. Five icicles stood around him, emitting a cold aura, as if it was these magic weapons that fixed Bai Ze in place.

Lu Qingxi sensed the fluctuations in the air and immediately warned: "Everyone be careful!" Before he finished speaking, countless fireballs rushed towards them from all directions. Xuan Yi reacted quickly and immediately stood in front of Lu Qingxi, using the Heart Protection Technique to resist the attack of the fireballs. Others also used magic weapons to protect themselves.

Song Hanyi and Gu Yuan were closely surrounding Mu Yao, fearing that she would be hurt. In contrast, Mu Jingxuan seemed a little lonely. She was fending off the fireball attack alone. Fortunately, she had many magic weapons and could barely cope with it. Although Lu Qingxi wanted to help, the situation before her really didn't allow her to be distracted.

Fortunately, the fireball only lasted for a while before it died down. Everyone looked up and found that they were actually closer to the formation in front of them. The formation was emitting a strong light, which seemed to be the core of the place where Bai Ze was trapped.

Facing the scene before them, everyone was a little frightened. After some discussion, they decided to walk in the opposite direction, so they bypassed the magic circle and continued forward.

When everyone thought they could finally catch their breath, they found that the road under their feet suddenly became as hard as ice, with a cold light. This frozen road seemed peaceful, but it was hiding a lot of murderous intentions. From time to time, sharp ice cones shot out from the ice walls on both sides of the road, with a speed so fast and powerful that it was astonishing.

Although the six of them were all cultivators with agile skills and good magic, they had to go all out under the dense ice cone attacks and barely dodge wave after wave of fatal attacks. Every time the ice cones brushed past them, they felt the threat of death.

As she advanced, Lu Qingxi gradually discovered that these attacks did not seem to be without pattern. She carefully observed the trajectory and frequency of the ice cones, and gradually gained some insights. She found that the ice cones attacked in a specific order: left four, right one, left two, right three, left five, right two, left three... She tried to dodge according to this pattern, and found that the effect was surprisingly good.

So, she quickly told everyone about this discovery. At first, Song Hanyi and Gu Yuan were a little skeptical, but seeing that Lu Qingxi, Xuan Yi and others were dodging more and more easily according to this rule, they had to believe the authenticity of this rule. They tried to dodge according to the rule that Lu Qingxi said, and indeed they successfully avoided many ice cone attacks.

After everyone was able to avoid the attack with ease according to the rules Lu Qingxi said, Xuan Yi and Song Hanyi worked together to activate their magic power and destroyed the mechanism in front. With a roar, the frozen road finally returned to calm, and everyone was able to take a break.

But as soon as they walked out of the frozen road, a white mist came silently, gently surrounded them, and led them into a fantasy world. At first, they seemed to be in a dreamlike fairyland, with peach blossoms in full bloom, gurgling water, birds singing, and flowers blooming, which was so beautiful that it made people intoxicated. However, this beautiful scene was as fragile as a bubble and passed away in a flash.

In a blink of an eye, the surrounding environment became eerie and full of ghosts, as if they had suddenly fallen from the fairyland into the netherworld. This sudden change made everyone nervous. Xuan Yi immediately stood in front of Lu Qingxi, Mu Jingxuan also held her hand tightly, while Song Hanyi and Gu Yuan surrounded Mu Yao in the middle, protecting him tightly.

In this illusion, the six people seemed to be lost. They tried to find the path to the center of the formation, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not find the right direction. Every turn, every choice, seemed to bring them back to where they were, trapping them in an endless cycle.

Just when everyone was feeling desperate, Lu Qingxi began to carefully observe the subtle changes in the illusion. She found that although the scenes in the illusion were unpredictable, there were always some tiny details that remained unchanged. For example, no matter how the illusion changed, there was always a bright star shining in the sky; no matter where they went, there was always a small flower quietly blooming under their feet.

Lu Qingxi guessed that these unchanging details might be the clues to get out of the illusion. So she guided everyone to follow these clues. They moved forward in the direction guided by the stars, while paying attention to the small flowers under their feet. After a tortuous exploration, they finally found a secret passage hidden in the illusion.

This passage seemed ordinary, but it exuded a mysterious atmosphere. They walked along the passage carefully, fearing that they would fall into another illusion if they were not careful. Finally, after a long and difficult journey, they successfully walked out of this charming illusion.

After exiting the illusion, they found an ancient stone gate in front of them. The stone gate was engraved with complex runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. They knew that this stone gate was the key to the center of the formation.
