Transmigrated into a book? A vicious female supporting character? A senior sister? Tsk tsk!

However, starting in the afternoon, a red light slowly rose above the palace. As the red light connected with the secret realm's barrier, the barrier itself gradually turned red as well.

Subsequently, many demonic beasts hidden in the shadows at the center scattered and fled to the surrounding areas of the secret realm, while those closer to the gate felt the spiritual energy emanating from them.

Seemingly drawn by some force, they rushed rapidly toward the barrier of the gate, frightening the people who fled in panic, and the feeling gradually faded away.

All these phenomena made everyone vaguely realize that there was definitely something wrong with this palace, and they suspected that their fellow disciples might be in danger inside.

A few impulsive individuals took out their weapons and attacked the gate's barrier, but the barrier remained intact.

Seeing this, the others also pulled out weapons, talismans, and all sorts of destructive magical artifacts, but after trying them all, the barrier didn't even crack.

At this moment, a male disciple who had been frowning and observing the barrier from the crowd suddenly spoke up:

"This barrier now connects the entire secret realm. Unless we find the weak point or the core of the formation, our attacks will be in vain."

These words made some of those who were still willing to try stop. Seeing this, those disciples who always thought they were the most important questioned in annoyance:

"Who do you think you are? You think you can just say something's useless?"

"Exactly! If you're not going to take action, fine, but why say things like that and try to incite others to give up!"

"Hmph, let's not listen to him. My fellow disciples are still inside. We need to find a way to rescue them quickly."

........

Faced with the questions from these dozen or so people, the person who made the suggestion said no more. Ning Musheng clearly recognized this person and stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting:

"Brother Yu, it's been a long time. They are all in a hurry to save people and are unaware of your abilities. Please don't worry about them."

Yu Changqing shrugged indifferently, looked at Tang Xinyan and the others with Ning Musheng, and asked curiously:

"Brother Ning, won't you introduce me?"

Ning Musheng smiled, pointed at Yu Changqing, and said to Tang Xinyan and the others:

"This is Yu Changqing, a direct disciple of the Wuji Sect's Array Peak."

As soon as Ning Musheng finished speaking, Li Yu, who was standing next to Xu Qiankun, suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"No wonder, it was you. I've heard my master mention you before. He said you are the most skilled disciple in formations among our generation."

Yu Changqing clearly knew Li Yu, and said with a humble smile:

"Brother Li, you flatter me. I have long heard that your array calculations are extremely skillful. If the timing were not so bad, I would really like to exchange ideas and discuss with you."

Li Yu was clearly very interested in the sparring match and quickly waved his hand, saying:

"It's alright, let's go outside and make another appointment."

Yu Changqing nodded, and the two stopped being polite and began to talk about their views on barriers. Hearing them discuss barriers...

Tang Xinyan and her group all crowded around the two of them, listening to their analysis and occasionally offering their own opinions.

Time passed slowly, and as the barrier turned red, the sky inside grew darker, and the atmosphere seemed increasingly eerie. Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the dozen or so people who had attacked the barrier earlier scattering in all directions. One of them, who was relatively close, suddenly shouted:

"Oh my god, look! The barrier has expanded outwards."

Everyone's attention immediately shifted from the people who had escaped to the barrier outside the door. Sure enough, the barrier now enclosed a larger area than before.

This scene caused everyone to take a few steps back. The next second, the rogue cultivators all scattered and fled. Since they were unaffiliated with any sect or faction, their priority was naturally to save their lives.

Although the remaining sect disciples did not leave, most of them showed fear on their faces, and their steps seemed to be retreating.

Especially those dozen or so who had been shouting the loudest just now were now hiding at the back of the crowd, their fear clearly visible on their faces.

Yu Zechen sneered:

"Weren't you all shouting that you wanted to save people just now? Why are you all chickening out now?"

Yu Changqing smiled disdainfully:

"Some things, you only know how naive their arrogance is when you experience them yourself."

Neither of them tried to lower their voices, and in this quiet and eerie environment, everyone could hear them clearly. However, it was obvious that...

The dozen or so people were still immersed in the terror of being suddenly pulled apart, and they didn't react at all to the two men's sarcasm.

However, some people quickly came to their senses, gritted their teeth, stared at the barrier, and ran towards the outer perimeter. A few quick-witted individuals followed without hesitation.

The remaining few people looked at each other, their eyes filled with conflict, but in the end they got up and prepared to escape with them.

Just as they were about to leave, one of them glanced at the barrier with reluctance and hesitated, saying:

"Then... are we really going to abandon our fellow disciples inside?"

The leader of the group spat and said viciously:

"I'm about to starve, why should I care about them? Besides, we've already tried it, but did it work?"

Anyway, I've done everything I could. If you want to leave, just leave. Stop with the nonsense.

After finishing his tirade, he ignored the hesitant people and quickly ran outside. Those behind him immediately followed, even the one who had been wavering hurriedly joined him.

With these dozen or so people taking the lead, the other disciples no longer hesitated and fled the scene. In the end, only a dozen or so people remained at the scene.

Ning Musheng glanced at the remaining people, smiled knowingly, and suggested:

"We can't think of a solution right now, and it's getting dark. How about we find a safe place, split into two shifts to take turns observing, and at the same time try to contact the outside world?"

No one objected to this, and the group quickly found a cave not too far away. The dozen or so people swiftly split into two teams.

Li Yu and Yu Changqing each led a team. After Yu Changqing left with his men, the remaining people in the cave gathered together and quietly watched Li Yu draw the diagrams.

Through Ning Musheng's introduction, Tang Xinyan gained a general understanding of the people who remained. She hadn't expected that this temporary gathering of a dozen or so people would...

He was actually one of the best among those who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage. But then I thought about it, and usually, such outstanding individuals are considered to be chosen ones, and they would normally have a firm and fearless heart.

Li Yu acted swiftly, quickly making several copies of the drawn array diagram using his spiritual power, and then handing them to everyone:

"This is what I summarized after discussing with Brother Yu, but the diagram may not be accurate."

Yu Zechen took the array diagram and spoke first:

"Something is better than nothing."

Having said that, he got up and walked out of the cave. Seeing this, the others also dispersed, clearly going to find places to contact their respective sects.

Seeing that everyone had left the cave, Tang Xinyan simply went to a corner, took out a shielding array plate, and covered herself with it.
