Junior sister took first place again

Deep in the Cangwu Secret Realm, the Cui brothers and sisters were standing in a huge underground space, in front of them was a blood-red formation emitting a dark light.

The scale of this formation was far beyond anything they had seen before, and every rune seemed to contain the power to destroy the world.

Cui Jingyou and Cui Ying exchanged glances, each seeing a solemn expression in the other's eyes. "This formation is too powerful. We can't act rashly."

Cui Jingyou whispered, his palm tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

Cui Ying nodded, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes: "We must destroy this formation, otherwise the demonic energy in the secret realm will become stronger and stronger."

Just as the two were preparing to act, they suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly, and a powerful aura came from the center of the formation.

The Cui brothers and sisters immediately hid in the dark, only to see a figure slowly walking out of the formation. It was a mysterious person in a black robe. She wore a strange mask on her face, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes.

"Finally, someone is here." The mysterious person's voice was hoarse and low. Her eyes swept across the underground space and finally fixed on the place where the Cui brothers and sisters were hiding. "Come out, I know you are here."

Cui Jingyou and Cui Ying looked at each other, and knowing that they could no longer hide, they walked out openly.

Their eyes were fixed on the mysterious man vigilantly, ready to fight at any time.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Cui Jingyou asked in a deep voice.

The mysterious man sneered, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you are about to become the sacrifice of this formation."

Before she finished speaking, the mysterious person formed seals with her hands, and a powerful demonic energy burst out from her body. The demonic energy in the entire underground space began to surge wildly and gathered towards the formation.

The Cui brothers and sisters immediately felt tremendous pressure and instantly gathered their strength to fight back.

Cui Jingyou soared into the air, spun around, drew his sword, and swung out a brilliant curtain of light. Accompanied by a low dragon roar, the sword energy pierced straight towards the mysterious man like a mountain crushing an egg.

Cui Ying was no less impressive. Her swordsmanship was steady and sharp, like a silver dragon flying around her, tightly surrounding the mysterious man and launching an attack.

The mysterious person - He Ling snorted coldly, and her figure suddenly became blurred. She was able to move freely among the attacks of the Cui brothers and sisters. Every move she made was accompanied by powerful demonic energy, which collided with the sword energy of the Cui brothers and sisters, making a deafening roar.

The battle lasted for half an hour. Although the Cui brothers and sisters were powerful, the mysterious man's body movements were really weird. Moreover, the strong demonic energy in this place continuously provided support to the opponent. The two of them fought two against one for such a long time, but not only did they fail to win, they gradually became unable to do so.

At this moment, the mysterious person suddenly stopped attacking and her eyes turned to the center of the formation.

"It seems that I don't need to do it myself." There was a hint of pride in the mysterious man's voice.

The Cui siblings followed her gaze and saw that the blood-red light in the center of the formation was getting brighter and brighter, and a terrifying aura emanated from it. Cui Ying and Cui Jingyou were almost sucked in.

"Oh no, this is a formation used by the demonic cultivators for sacrifice, and the sacrifice is us!" Cui Ying exclaimed as she resisted the suction of the formation.

Cui Jingyou's expression also became extremely solemn, "Aying, retreat first!"

They immediately gave up fighting the mysterious man and flew back the way they came.

Cui Jingyou's sword energy was like a storm, and Cui Ying's sword energy was like lightning. The two people's sword energy intertwined together to form a powerful sword net, covering the mysterious man.

"Hmph! Don't even think about running away."

A hint of mockery flashed in He Ling's eyes, and her figure became blurred under the envelopment of the demonic energy, as if she had merged with the demonic energy of the entire underground space.

He formed seals with his hands again, and the blood-red light in the center of the formation became even brighter. A powerful suction force locked the Cui brothers and sisters tightly, making their escape extremely difficult.

Just as they turned around, a blood-red light suddenly burst out from the center of the formation, and a powerful suction force enveloped the entire underground space.

As soon as Cui Ying rushed out of the formation, she was firmly locked by this force, and her body involuntarily flew into the formation.

"Aying!" Seeing this, a trace of panic flashed in Cui Jingyou's eyes. He immediately gave up fighting with the mysterious man and rushed towards Cui Ying with all his strength.

Seeing this, He Ling's eyes flashed with pride, and her figure disappeared again. The next moment, she appeared in front of Cui Jingyou, forming seals with her hands, and black demonic energy once again wrapped around Cui Jingyou.

Anger flashed in Cui Jingyou's eyes, and he gathered strength in an instant. His sword energy carried an indomitable momentum, and every time he swung the sword, He Ling had to divert her energy to deal with it.

Cui Ying struggled in the air, her sword dancing in her hand, trying to cut through the invisible suction.

Her swordsmanship was like a violent storm, and every swing of her sword was accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, but the suction force was like a ghost, always firmly locking onto her.

The battle between Cui Jingyou and He Ling became more and more intense. The sword energy and demonic energy collided in the air, making a deafening roar.

Cui Jingyou's swordsmanship was powerful and every swing of his sword carried the powerful spiritual power of a late Jindan cultivator, while He Ling's demonic energy was like a giant black python, trying to entangle Cui Jingyou's sword energy.

Cui Ying's struggle in the air became more and more violent, but her body was pulled closer and closer to the center of the formation by the suction force. The blood-red light there was like the eyes of a devil, waiting to devour her vitality.

Cui Jingyou's sword energy became more and more violent, a hint of madness flashed in his eyes, and his sword energy carried a desperate momentum. Every time he swung the sword, He Ling had to respond with all her strength.

A hint of surprise flashed in He Ling's eyes. She didn't expect that Cui Jingyou could exert such powerful strength.

Before, she had heard about how fiercely the first and third branches of the Cui family fought for the position of head of the family.

Moreover, because they had evil intentions towards Immortal Lord Ning, the two of them were punished by Immortal Lord Qinglian to guard the abyss for a year. Logically speaking, these two cousins should have been at odds with each other.

He Ling could not understand the changes in the Cui brothers and sisters. Just as after she fell into the path of evil, she turned her senior brother who had once saved her into a puppet like Hu Shan.

After He Ling advanced to the Jindan stage, she soon met her senior brother in the Jindan area.

Zhao Heng was very familiar with He Ling, and it didn't take long for him to notice that something was wrong with his junior sister. He Ling didn't want to listen to his useless nonsense, and was also afraid that her secret would be revealed by Zhao Heng.

In order to go all out, he pretended to be weak to lure Zhao Heng, and then used the Soul-Eating Talisman on him.

These things suddenly flashed through He Ling's mind, and she began to retreat step by step in front of Cui Jingyou's sword energy.

At this moment, Cui Ying's body in the air suddenly paused, and the tip of her sword finally cut through the invisible suction force. Her body paused in the air, and then quickly flew backwards.

Seeing this, Cui Jingyou's eyes flashed with surprise. He immediately gave up fighting with He Ling and turned to fly towards Cui Ying.

Seeing this, He Ling's eyes flashed with unwillingness. She immediately used all her strength to activate the formation, trying to pull Cui Ying back to the center of the formation again.

Cui Ying's body in the air was once again locked by the suction force, and her body paused and began to retreat.

Seeing this, Cui Jingyou's eyes flashed with determination. He immediately gathered his strength, and with an unstoppable momentum in his sword, he stabbed straight into the center of the formation.

"Break!" Cui Jingyou shouted, and his sword energy was like a golden lightning, piercing straight into the blood-red light in the center of the formation.

The blood-red light in the center of the formation suddenly paused, and then fluctuated violently. A powerful recoil force erupted from the center of the formation, shaking Cui Jingyou and Cui Ying's bodies away.

Seeing this, a trace of fear flashed in He Ling's eyes. She immediately used all her strength to activate the formation, trying to stabilize the fluctuations of the formation.

However, Cui Jingyou's attack was too powerful, and the fluctuations of the formation became more and more violent. Powerful forces burst out from the center of the formation, shaking the entire underground space to the point of collapse.

Cui Ying's body in the air was blown away. She immediately gathered her strength and tried to stabilize her body.

Her sword danced in her hand, and the sword energy drew mysterious tracks in the air, trying to cut through the invisible suction.

Cui Jingyou's body was also blown away. He immediately gathered his strength, and his sword energy drew mysterious trajectories in the air, trying to resist the invisible suction force.

He Ling's body was also blown away. She barely managed to steady herself, a hint of disbelief flashing in her eyes.

She had never imagined that the Cui brothers and sisters could have such a great impact on this formation.

She formed seals with her hands again, trying to control the fluctuations of the formation, but the blood-red light in the center of the formation had begun to become unstable, as if it would explode at any time.

After Cui Jingyou and Cui Ying stabilized their bodies in the air, they immediately stood back to back, alert and vigilant with full concentration.

They knew that this was the most dangerous moment. Once the formation got out of control, they would face an unprecedented crisis.

"Aying, we must attack the center of the formation at the same time to destroy it." Cui Jingyou's voice was low and firm.

Cui Ying nodded, a determined light flashing in her eyes: "I know, brother, let's go together."

The two exchanged glances, then gathered their strength simultaneously in tacit agreement. Cui Jingyou's sword energy was like a violent storm, while Cui Ying's sword energy was like lightning. Their sword energies intertwined, forming a powerful sword net that enveloped the center of the formation.

Seeing this, He Ling's eyes flashed with madness. She knew that she could no longer control the situation, but she was still unwilling to give up.

Her body was enveloped in demonic energy, and she rushed towards the Cui siblings like a bolt of black lightning. "Go to hell!"

He Ling screamed, her hands drawing mysterious traces in the air, and black demonic energy like chains wrapped around the Cui brothers and sisters.

Cui Jingyou and Cui Ying immediately felt tremendous pressure. They knew that this was a moment of life and death.

They immediately changed their strategy. Cui Jingyou's sword energy became more violent, trying to break the opponent's cleverness with force, while Cui Ying's sword skills became more agile, trying to find the flaws in the magic chain.

"Aying, I will hold him back, you find a chance to rush out!" Cui Jingyou shouted loudly. His sword energy carried an indomitable momentum, and every time he swung the sword, He Ling had to divert her energy to deal with it.

Cui Ying nodded, and her swordsmanship became even faster. Like a swimming dragon, she circled around He Ling and attacked continuously, looking for the flaws in the demonic chains.

At this moment, the blood-red light in the center of the formation suddenly burst out, and an even stronger suction force enveloped the entire underground space.

Cui Ying and Cui Jingyou's bodies were once again locked by the suction force, and their bodies involuntarily flew towards the center of the formation.

He Ling's body was also locked by the suction force, and she involuntarily flew towards the center of the formation.

At this critical moment, Cui Ying and Cui Jingyou were filled with a sense of urgency.

They knew that if they could not destroy the formation in time, they would be swallowed up by it and turned into dust.

A trace of determination flashed in Cui Ying's eyes. She suddenly gave up attacking He Ling and turned around to attack the center of the formation with all her strength.

All the strength was concentrated on the tip of the sword. A dazzling sword light flashed like a comet, cutting through the darkness and striking the core of the formation.

Seeing this, Cui Jingyou immediately understood his sister's intention. He gave up on restraining He Ling and turned his full attention to protecting Cui Ying. His sword energy was like a solid barrier, blocking He Ling's attack and buying time for Cui Ying.

He Ling's face changed drastically, and her body struggled in the suction, trying to stop Cui Ying's attack, but Cui Jingyou's sword energy was too powerful, preventing her from getting close.

"No! You can't ruin my plan!" He Ling screamed, her demonic energy surged wildly, trying to break through Cui Jingyou's sword energy barrier, but it was too late.

Cui Ying's sword light had touched the core of the formation. The blood-colored light reached its peak in an instant, and then exploded violently.

A powerful force wave spread out from the formation as the center, and the entire underground space began to collapse.

At the moment of the explosion, Cui Jingyou protected Cui Ying tightly behind him. His sword energy formed a protective shield to resist the shock wave of the explosion.

Cui Ying's sword energy also merged with his cousin's sword energy, together resisting this destructive force.

He Ling let out a shrill scream in the explosion. Her body was torn apart by the force of the explosion and eventually turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared in the flames of the explosion.

After the explosion, the underground space had become a ruin, and all traces of the formation disappeared without a trace.

Although the Cui brothers and sisters were injured, they still insisted on standing up, with a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

"Brother, that man escaped!"

"Aying, I'm so happy!"

They both spoke at the same time, then smiled at each other.

A complex emotion flashed in Cui Ying's eyes. She knew what her cousin meant. This was the first time she had called him brother since she was a child.

They had been rivals in the family's internal struggles, and at certain moments, the hostility between them was even stronger than their external enemies.

But in the abyss, here, after struggling on the brink of life and death, those family disputes seemed insignificant.

"Brother, let's let the past go." Cui Ying said softly, with a hint of relief in her tone.

Cui Jingyou nodded, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes: "Yes, Ah Ying, from now on, we will be brothers and sisters and work together to face the challenges of the future."

The two hands clasped together, firm and powerful. In this ruin, the past grudges vanished at this moment, and they regained the purest trust and reliance between relatives.

Cui Ying took a deep breath and turned her gaze to the depths of the ruins, where the formation was located.

"Brother, did you notice? This is a combination formation."

Cui Jingyou gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and nodded. "This is just one of the auxiliary formations. Ah Ying, the situation behind this is complicated. We must go out and explain the situation to the outside world."

Cui Ying nodded, "Let's look for any more clues before we go out."

The Cui brothers and sisters didn't know that at this moment, a loud noise was heard in the center of the Nascent Soul area.

Ning Jiasheng was sitting cross-legged, studying how to unravel a combination formation set up by the Immortal Master Suying, when she was interrupted by the noise.
