The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

Finally, the sealing formation was completed, and Lan Yunyan continuously injected his internal energy into the formation.

The magic circle emitted a dazzling light, which gradually formed chains and coiled around the giant beast.

The giant beast sensed the danger and tried to break free, but Xiao Yichen seized the opportunity and stabbed the beast's leg with all his strength, causing it to stop moving.

At this moment, the chains successfully wrapped around the giant beast, trapping it firmly in the magic circle.

Lan Yunyan's face was as pale as paper, and she used up her last bit of strength to activate the seal.

The giant beast roared angrily, but was slowly dragged into the ground. With a loud bang, the ground returned to calm.

After the battle subsided, Xiao Yichen and Lan Yunyan collapsed on the ground exhausted, surrounded by a desolate ruin. The originally lush forest had disappeared, leaving only charred land and a smoking pit.

Their clothes were torn and their bodies were covered in blood, but their eyes showed relief at having survived the disaster.

Xiao Yichen turned his head with difficulty and looked at Lan Yunyan, his voice hoarse but full of concern: "How are you?"

Lan Yunyan smiled bitterly: "I'm still alive, thanks to you."

As she spoke, she tried to get up, but fell to the ground again due to exhaustion. Xiao Yichen hurriedly reached out to support her.

At this moment, the sky suddenly changed. The originally clear night sky was quickly covered by dark clouds. Lightning and thunder flashed in the clouds, as if pairs of angry eyes were peeping at them.

The two were shocked, but before they could react, a thick purple lightning bolt came down from the clouds like a long snake, heading straight towards them.

Xiao Yichen pulled Lan Yunyan over and rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the lightning attack.

Lightning struck the ground, creating a huge crater and sending debris flying. Some of the debris grazed their bodies, causing a stinging sensation.

"What's going on?" Lan Yunyan's eyes were full of confusion.

Xiao Yichen shook his head and looked at the sky vigilantly: "It seems that this disaster is not over yet. We have to leave here first."

He supported Lan Yunyan, and the two of them walked away, supporting each other. Every step seemed extremely difficult.

However, they had not walked far when the air around them began to become sticky, as if it had turned into a quagmire, making their movements even slower.

At the same time, eerie whispers came from all directions. The sound came and went, like countless evil spirits whispering in one's ears, which was creepy.

Lan Yunyan felt her consciousness was a little fuzzy. She bit the tip of her tongue hard, and the pain made her sober. She shouted to Xiao Yichen, "This is an illusion of sound. Don't be affected by it!"

Xiao Yichen took a deep breath and circulated his internal energy, trying to dispel this strange force.

He took out a jade pendant emitting a cool light from his arms. The runes on the jade pendant flickered, and the air around him seemed to become a little clearer.

The two quickened their pace, but the phantom sound followed them like a shadow, constantly attacking their mental defenses.

Suddenly, a group of blurry figures appeared in front of them. Those figures had different shapes. Some looked like ferocious evil spirits, and some looked like distorted human figures. They pounced towards Xiao Yichen and Lan Yunyan with their fangs and claws.

Xiao Yichen protected Lan Yunyan behind him, swung his sword, and a sword energy slashed towards those figures, but the sword energy passed through them without causing any damage, and they still rushed towards him madly.

Lan Yunyan frowned as she remembered another method in ancient books about breaking the illusion of sound - using blood as a guide and spirits as a medium.

Without any hesitation, she picked up the dagger and cut a cut on her wrist. Blood gushed out, and she muttered something, spilling the blood into the air.

The blood turned into red light in the air, blending with the light of the jade pendant. The light became brighter and brighter. Those blurry figures screamed miserably under the light and gradually disappeared.

As the figure disappeared, the surrounding air returned to normal and the dark clouds in the sky began to slowly dissipate.

As the surrounding environment returned to normal, Xiao Yichen and Lan Yunyan knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long. They supported each other and walked away, looking for a safe place to recuperate.

On the other side, Yun Mengyao and Lin Wan'er were practicing hard in a quiet valley.

The valley is filled with spiritual energy, like a fairyland, surrounded by towering mountains. Waterfalls cascade down from the mountains, splashing water, and forming gorgeous rainbows under the refraction of sunlight.

The roar of the waterfall hitting the pool forms a unique rhythm in this quiet valley.

Yun Mengyao was wearing a light blue gauze dress, like a fairy descending to earth.

She sat cross-legged on a large, smooth stone, a faint blue light surrounding her, the result of her spiritual energy constantly gathering. Her eyes were slightly closed, her brow furrowed slightly, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, revealing the arduous nature of her training.

Her hands kept changing hand seals, and each change attracted the surrounding spiritual energy to flow towards her. These spiritual energies swirled around her, were gradually absorbed by her, and merged into her meridians, strengthening her internal strength.

Lin Wan'er was practicing in a nearby flowerbed. Her pink dress contrasted beautifully with the blossoms around her.

Her cultivation method was different from Yun Mengyao's. She was seen holding a small peach wood sword and dancing lightly among the flowers.

Every time the sword was swung, pink light overflowed from the sword, echoing with the surrounding flowers.

Her eyes were focused and determined, and she silently recited the cultivation mantra. She swung the peach wood sword faster and faster to the rhythm of the mantra. The airflow caused the surrounding petals to fly up, forming a beautiful and mysterious vortex around her.

As their cultivation deepened, some strange phenomena began to appear around Yun Mengyao and Lin Wan'er.

Some mysterious runes gradually emerged on the stone beside Yun Mengyao. These runes flashed with blue light, intertwining with the spiritual power in her body, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Among the flowers surrounding Lin Wan'er, those originally ordinary flowers began to sparkle with crystal light, as if they were injected with life.
