In fact, based on her intuition, Tang Xinyan felt that she could contact Gu Moxu through her ear bones, but she didn't want to expose this to others.

Therefore, even though she sensed something was wrong early on, Tang Xinyan didn't jump out first to take the blame.

Having experienced the darker side of human nature, Tang Xinyan is acutely aware of many cases where people "step forward in times of danger, only to turn around and accuse others afterward."

Don't be fooled by the fact that people now regard you as their savior. Once this is all over, there will be plenty of people who will secretly covet your treasures.

Murder and robbery were secondary; Tang Xinyan's main concern was that the ear cartilage might reveal Gu Moxu's identity, which would be disastrous.

Fortunately, the rest were all intelligent people who were aware of their own methods of self-preservation, which made it easier for her to operate.

After confirming the environment was safe, Tang Xinyan infused spiritual energy into her ear cartilage. As the ear cartilage emitted a faint red light, an urgent yet joyful voice rang out:

"Junior Sister! Is that you, Junior Sister?"

Upon hearing Gu Moxu's voice, Tang Xinyan quickly responded:

"Fourth Senior Brother, it's me."

Gu Moxu said anxiously again:

"Junior Sister, what exactly happened in the secret realm? How are you now? Are you in any danger?"

Tang Xinyan briefly recounted what had happened, and to avoid worrying Gu Moxu and the others, she added at the end:

"Fourth Senior Brother, please tell Master and the others that I am not in any danger for the time being, and that they do not need to worry."

Gu Moxu said irritably:

"How could I not be worried? You have no idea, right now many disciples from the eight major sects have life tablets that are either broken or in alarm mode."

The second senior brother has been guarding the main hall of the sect, gathering information at any time. Master is also currently guarding the main hall, keeping a close eye on the situation.

Hearing that many people had died, Tang Xinyan wasn't particularly moved, but she couldn't help but sigh and instructed:

"Fourth Senior Brother, I don't have much time here. Let me first pass on the array diagram I have to you, and then you can ask Master if there's a way to break it."

Also, Fourth Senior Brother, no matter what, do not reveal that you can contact me. When you need to contact others, say that it was Master who contacted me.

After recording the formation and ending the communication, Gu Moxu handed the formation diagram to Xiao Yimo, who was seated at the head of the main hall. He then relayed the information Tang Xinyan had provided.

After hearing the explanation in detail, Yun Xingnan frowned:

"Based on Junior Sister's description, it seems this palace is a trap. This evil formation absorbs the spiritual power, and even the cultivation level, of the trapped disciples."

It will gradually expand, eventually engulfing the entire secret realm. At that point, it will likely drain all living beings within the realm dry…”

Ji Zeyang's brows were also furrowed tightly:

"If we break it from the outside, the secret realm will be destroyed, but the inside are full of Foundation Establishment disciples. Can they break such a malevolent formation?"

Neither Yun Xingnan nor Gu Moxu could answer this question. The three of them looked at Xiao Yimo, who put down the array diagram, looked at Gu Moxu, and instructed him:

"I'm going to the secret realm. Keep an eye on the communication jade token. I'll contact you whenever I need to."

After Xiao Yimo disappeared, he reappeared at the outer edge of the secret realm in the blink of an eye, startling everyone guarding the realm.

Mei Xue, who had arrived first, was the first to react. She looked at Xiao Yimo with seductive eyes and said affectionately:

"Yi Mo, you've arrived."

Everyone then realized what was happening and quickly bowed to the two of them.

"Elder Xiao, Sect Master Mei."

Xiao Yimo nodded slightly to the crowd, then looked at Mei Xue coldly and said:

"Sect Leader Mei, we are not acquainted. Please address me as Elder Xiao, or Xiao Yimo."

Mei Xue looked pitiful and wanted to say something coquettish, but seeing Xiao Yimo's indifferent eyes, all her ambiguous thoughts vanished instantly.

He curled his lip, glanced at the array masters standing to the side, and handed them the array diagram in his hand, saying indifferently:

"This is a formation that my youngest apprentice described to me. You can study it and see if you can find its weaknesses."

Wu Qinxue hurriedly stepped forward to take the formation and began studying it with the other formation masters. Meanwhile, inside the secret realm, the group that had just split up...

After reuniting and exchanging ideas, they learned that only Yu Zechen and Tang Xinyan had managed to contact their respective masters.

Considering the rank of their masters, everyone felt it was normal and breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least the message had been spread.

At the same time, the various sects that were keeping a close eye on the secret realm also breathed a sigh of relief. The appearance of Xiao Yimo and Mei Xue gave everyone hope.

Although Xiao Yimo was proficient in formations, as the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. He knew that Wu Qinxue, in terms of both professionalism and knowledge, was...

They were all superior to his, so Xiao Yimo didn't interfere. He found a corner and quietly watched the secret realm barrier.

Thinking of his young apprentice inside, Xiao Yimo felt a pang of self-reproach. He had assumed that with all the protective gear, Tang Xinyan would be safe, but he hadn't expected such a turn of events.

Having learned his lesson, Xiao Yimo secretly resolved that once this matter was over, he would definitely refine some magical artifacts that could facilitate emergency communication.

Mei Xue wasn't proficient in formations. After handing over the formation diagram, seeing that Xiao Yimo hadn't left, she simply went to the side, took out a chaise lounge and tea and snacks.

Lying on the couch, watching Xiao Yimo, Mei Yao didn't notice this. She was about to go forward and persuade Mei Xue to return to the Huan Sect's spirit boat to rest.

But Mei Yan grabbed him and reminded him:

"Our sect leader is enjoying himself, so don't go up and disturb him."

Having said that, she glanced in Xiao Yimo's direction, and Mei Yao suddenly realized what was happening. She and Mei Yan retreated behind Mei Xue, only to see Mei Xue facing in a certain direction...

They cast a sharp glance at her, and following her gaze, they saw Yun Wanrou lower her head in a panic, shrinking back and quietly hiding behind Xueqin.

Mei Yan curled her lip and said disdainfully:

"Some people are like dogs that can't stop eating shit; they're always indulging in wishful thinking."

Mei Yao was about to agree when she saw Mei Xue glance over, so she immediately shut up and nudged Mei Yan. Mei Yan obviously realized what was happening too.

He glanced at Mei Xue with a smirk and explained obsequiously:

"Hehe, Sect Master, I was definitely not talking about you, I was talking about that girl Yun Wanrou."

Mei Xue rolled her eyes, then turned her gaze back to Xiao Yimo, muttering to herself:

"Actually, what you said is not wrong. It's true that a leopard can't change its spots. Sigh... On the surface, Yun Wanrou is determined to keep her ways, but how much better am I?"

Although the voice was soft, both Mei Yao and Mei Yan heard it clearly. Mei Yao quickly retorted:

"Sect Master, this is different. As the saying goes, everyone has a love for beauty. This outstanding man, not to mention you like him, Meiyan and I also like him."

But we know our limits. Even if we love someone but can't have them, we won't force it, unlike some people who are simply delusional and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
