The Qingshan Eagle was very fast, and soon they saw a magnificent city wall.

There was no formation activated at Hu Ju Pass, but there were quite a few monks in front of the gate.

Most of them are women, wearing green dresses.

He Ling took a quick glance and guessed that this was most likely the checkpoint guarded by the Tiankui Sect.

Yu Linglong is now a Jindan cultivator of the Tiankui Sect.

After showing some proof, they were quickly taken to a room.

Yu Linglong seemed to be hesitant to speak, but after thinking for a while she spoke.

"Junior Sister Ling'er, my master has a bit of a strange temper. Please bear with me."

He Ling was now thinking about Xiaoqing and just nodded.

Soon the door was opened and a woman who looked like a mature and beautiful woman walked in.

She glanced at the three people in the room, and a bright light flashed in her eyes.

She nodded at Yu Linglong first, "I can't believe there are still disciples who can escape from there." She smiled gently at Yu Linglong, "It's okay, you'll be safe here."

Then he looked at He Ling and Feng Yuling.

You Qi stayed on Feng Yuling for a while longer, feeling a sense of wonder in his heart, "Why can't I sense any spiritual power from her? Is she a mortal?"

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately rejected it.

The two people in the room were both Jindan cultivators. Seeing how intimate she was with another Jindan woman, she could definitely not be a mortal.

Then there is only one possibility left, her cultivation is higher than mine!

Li Qingmiao felt incredible in her heart. She was already in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. If this person wanted to prevent her from seeing through his cultivation level, then he must be at least at the peak of the Nascent Soul?

But it is and it isn't. The situation is special now, so she is still much more respectful to He Ling and others.

She looked at He Ling, "Is this nephew a disciple of Xuanyuan Sect?"

He Ling nodded, and without any further ado, she took out Wu Chen's jade pendant and handed it over.

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Qingmiao's eyes. "Is it indeed the jade talisman of Xuanyuan Sect, and was it handed down personally by the Sect Master?"

"This jade talisman belongs to my master, Wuchen."

After hearing Wu Chen, Li Qingmiao's eyes showed surprise. She naturally knew Wu Chen, but she didn't expect that she actually accepted a disciple.

"You're here to inquire about your master's whereabouts, right?"

He Ling nodded. Although the woman opposite was a Nascent Soul cultivator, she was not very afraid.

Li Qingmiao didn't care either. "Your master followed Li Daoyi to the center of the battlefield. I'm afraid he's in great danger now."

He Ling felt a little heavy in his heart for a moment. "Master Li, what exactly happened that day? Do you know what that formation is?"

Li Qingmiao shook her head.

"That day I was in charge of the rear and didn't know much about the situation in the front. However, the power of that formation was extremely strong. It was designed to kill the souls of cultivators. Once it was activated, many cultivators' souls disappeared, leaving only empty shells. Moreover, from the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul stage, no cultivator was spared.

What was even more bizarre was that the formation seemed to make no distinction between friend and foe, and even Daqian's own Nascent Soul cultivators were wiped out. It was extremely strange.

If not, I might not have been able to escape the siege by the Daqian faction."

He Ling frowned upon hearing this, "Then wouldn't the situation now be a lose-lose situation?"

"Yes, our five sects have lost most of their high-end combat forces, and the Qianwu Empire has lost almost as much, so we didn't fight each other."

Now the five sects are almost fighting on their own. After suffering such heavy losses, I am afraid that they will have to withdraw from the front line and start to retreat soon.

After all, in the Southern Region, it is not only the Qianwu Empire that poses a threat to the Five Sects, there are also many local forces in the Southern Region.

To put it bluntly, the five sects resisted the Qianwu Empire just for territory. Now that their capital is almost gone, they will not be foolish enough to shed their last drop of blood for the Southern Region.

While thinking, He Ling had already left Huju Pass and flew towards the battlefield that Li Qingmiao mentioned.

Since learning about the situation, He Ling has calmed down. Although she is also very worried about Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing now has a great chance of survival.

Because when she left, I gave her the heart of a thousand-year-old soul-nourishing willow tree.

The soul-nourishing willow heart can nourish the soul and resist attacks on the soul. The formation is also an attack on the soul, so Xiaoqing still has a great chance of survival.

After figuring this out, He Ling asked Feng Yuling behind him.

"Yuling, do you know what that formation is?"

Feng Yuling's face also showed a solemn expression this time, "That is most likely the God-Slaying Formation."

"God-Slaying Formation? What is that? Why have I never heard of it?"

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, sister. This is because the God-Slaying Formation is a large formation that only existed in ancient times. It can't be set up overnight. It probably involves the great masters in the ancient forbidden land."

He Ling frowned, "Are you saying there are beings like you who can freely enter and exit the ancient forbidden area?"

Feng Yuling shook her head. "Their true forms probably can't come out. I was able to come out only because I took advantage of a loophole and paid a huge price. But they're not like me, who just wants to pester my sister. They've been possessed by demons for a long time, and now I'm afraid they're even closer to the devil."

Hearing this, He Ling felt heavy-hearted. She was afraid that the story behind this matter was not that simple. However, these were not her biggest worries at the moment. She still wanted to find Xiaoqing first.

The further you go, the more people from the Qianwu Empire you will see.

Although the result can be said to be a lose-lose situation for both sides, the battlefield was within the territory of the Qianwu Empire, so the result was still beneficial to the Qianwu Empire.

The green mountain eagles are very fast. In a short while, they flew hundreds of miles.

Going further, they encountered many black-armored soldiers of the Qianwu Empire. Several conflicts occurred in the middle, but they were all easily resolved by He Ling.

With a cry of an eagle, a huge blue eagle slowly landed in a forest.

The big formation is ahead.

Even at the edge, He Ling felt a little uncomfortable.

Feng Yuling also put away her lazy look.

"Sister, I am now at least 80% sure that the formation here is the God-Slaying Formation. If you insist on going in, I may not be able to accompany you.

There may be unexpected dangers ahead, sister, do you really want to go in?"

He Ling nodded.

Seeing He Ling's silence, Feng Yuling sighed softly, "Okay then, sister, give me your small teleportation talisman. I can assign a coordinate to it and it will definitely teleport to my side. If you run into danger, you can escape in time."

"Thank you, Yuling."

After expressing her gratitude, He Ling took out her small teleportation talisman. She had quite a few of them.

She took out three cards at once and gave them to Feng Yuling.

Feng Yuling sent a stream of red spiritual power towards the three talismans, then nodded to He Ling.

After putting away the talisman and nodding to Feng Yuling, He Ling walked in.

He Ling took a few steps forward cautiously, and the uncomfortable feeling in her heart suddenly became stronger.

She couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the emerald gem between her ears, silently reciting a spell in her heart and injecting a trace of pure spiritual power into it.

The gem flickered with a faint green light, and the power of the soul-nourishing willow heart was stimulated.

At this moment, He Ling suddenly felt his body lighten, and the discomfort he had felt before quickly receded like a tide, and he returned to his normal state.

She took a deep breath and strode deeper into the cave.

As we went deeper, the air around us seemed to be filled with a light layer of red ash.

These ashes floated slowly in the air. If you didn't look closely, it would be hard to notice that they were transparent, like unreal objects.

As a cultivator, He Ling naturally understood what this meant - a tragic battle had once taken place here, and countless souls were annihilated here, eventually forming the soul ashes flying in the sky before his eyes.

The further you go in, the more corpses appear on the ground.

Among these corpses there are masters in the Jindan stage and cultivators in the foundation-building stage.

They were lying or sprawled on the ground, and everyone's face looked extremely peaceful, as if they had just fallen asleep.

However, He Ling was very clear that these lives had left this world forever.

However, she only took a quick glance at the tragic scene and continued to move forward without hesitation.

The range of this formation is only about a hundred miles in total, which is not too far.

But He Ling did not dare to be careless at all, let alone speed up rashly.

On the one hand, she had no idea where Xiaoqing, whom she had been looking for, was at the moment; on the other hand, she was not sure whether there were any hidden enemies who had not yet appeared in this seemingly peaceful God-Slaying Formation.

After all, anyone who could set up such a terrifying killing formation must be extremely powerful, and most of the people who set up the formation are still alive.

Thinking of this, He Ling couldn't help but secretly clench the green gem on his ear, paying close attention to the movements around him, and exploring the unknown front step by step cautiously.

Soon she had traveled twenty miles forward.

But when she looked further ahead, she felt a sharp pain in her head as she held the heart of the 60,000-year-old soul-nurturing willow tree.

And as we walked towards the middle area, the stinging became more intense.

As a last resort, He Ling retreated back another twenty miles.

She found a cave and thought with a frown on her face.

This God-Slaying Formation was much more powerful than she had imagined.

If he walked forward regardless of everything, even He Ling would be in danger of losing his soul.

Although she was also worried about Xiaoqing's condition, she knew at this moment that it was useless to worry any more.
