After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

Hua Rongyi put down the last set of array materials, made a hand seal to activate the array, and a flash of white light with array patterns appeared and then disappeared. This did not mean that the array was gone, but that it was hidden and could not be seen with the naked eye.

"Let's go, there's only one left," Hua Rongyi said. There are a total of four formations to be set up, and three have already been completed.

Xi Lan was about to nod in agreement when she suddenly sensed a fluctuation. She turned her head to look in one direction and said, "Wait, someone is coming."

Hua Rongyi spoke up: "Let's hide first and see who's coming."

"it is good."

Hua Rongyi and Xi Lan hid behind a huge rock, observing the direction Xi Lan had just been looking.

Before long, a man in black robes hurriedly swam toward them, glancing back every now and then.

Sure enough, several mermaids were chasing him, and they would occasionally unleash their demonic power to attack him.

He dodged the attacks while running away.

Seeing that he was about to pass Hua Rongyi and Xi Lan, Xi Lan became anxious and wanted to show herself and stop him.

Hua Rongyi quickly stopped her, shook his head at her, and silently said, "Formation."

Xi Lan then remembered what had just happened, and was annoyed at her own poor memory. She smiled apologetically at Hua Rongyi.

"Ah~" The man in black robes screamed, drawing the attention of the two men back to him.

In just a short while, the man in black robes was trapped in the formation set up by Hua Rongyi.

The merfolk chasing him also stopped, their faces full of confusion. When did such a formation appear here?

However, as long as the man in black robes doesn't escape, we can deal with the rest later.

Xi Lan led Hua Rongyi out from behind the boulder and swam up to several merfolk.

Several merfolk immediately bowed upon seeing her and said in unison, "Princess Lan!"

Hua Rongyi looked at Xi Lan in surprise, not expecting her to be a princess.

Xi Lan waved her hand and immediately asked, "Were all the clansmen rescued?"

The leading merman soldier respectfully said, "The First Elder and the Second Elder went to rescue the King. The rest of the clansmen have been rescued. A few of us were assigned to guard the Treasure Pavilion. We saw three men in black robes stealing treasures. A few of us chased after him, while the others chased after the other two."

Xi Lan finally felt a little relieved. Both elders were at the Nascent Soul stage, so dealing with those black-robed men was just a matter of moving their fingers.

If those people hadn't been so despicable as to drug them, they wouldn't have had a chance to cause trouble.

Xi Lan nodded and pointed to the black-robed man who was being attacked in the formation, saying, "Crush this person's cultivation but leave him alive. Lock him up and wait for his fate."

"Yes."

Seeing that they had reached this point, Hua Rongyi interjected, "The formation is a trapping and killing formation, so don't go in easily. Wait until he's on his last breath and then pull him out with something. By the way, you can notify the others to lure the other two to the southwest and the entrance, where there is also a formation."

The lead merman thanked them, saying, "Very well, thank you, esteemed guest. We understand."

“Fellow Daoist Hua, we don’t need to set up that formation anymore. The two elders are at the Nascent Soul stage, so let them handle the rest. Let’s go find the others and regroup,” Xi Lan said to Hua Rongyi.

"In that case, let's go." Hua Rongyi agreed, which saved them the remaining materials.

After saying this, the two swam towards the Merfolk Royal Palace, where they encountered Ling Lili, Yun Fan, Jin Haoyu, and seven other Merfolk along the way.

Aside from Yunfan being a bit disheveled, everyone else was fine. The main problem was that he had to lure away five people by himself, running and dodging attacks, which led to his current state. Fortunately, the seven merfolk arrived in time, otherwise he might have been injured.
