Seeing this, the expressions of the middle-aged male cultivator and You Si Niang and her husband suddenly changed. The former rushed into the formation without hesitation, while the latter paused and stopped outside the formation.
After Xu Chunniang entered the formation, she was able to hide her position well by virtue of her familiarity with the formation.
Just as she was about to find the real entrance, her body was firmly locked by a stream of energy.
At the same time, a voice transmission fell into his ears.
"My fellow Taoist in front, I am a disciple of Master Hunyuan. Please help me leave this place! My City Lord's Mansion will reward you handsomely!"
Xu Chunniang's expression did not change, but there was a flash of coldness in her eyes. It turned out that the person who followed her was Xie Changyuan.
It was a great achievement for him to be able to escape from You Si Niang and her husband.
Being in the formation now, it would take time to find the exit. Once a fight breaks out, it might attract the attention of the people in the main formation.
Xu Chunniang's mind raced, and she made a decision in just a moment, quickly sending a message to Xie Changyuan.
"Okay, but you must follow my instructions while in the formation, otherwise it will attract other people and neither of us will be able to escape."
Xie Changyuan frowned, but he said nothing and nodded quickly.
"It is natural that Daoyou is proficient in formations."
His gaze fell on the male cultivator in front of him. The other party was only a cultivator at the fourth level of foundation building. Even if he was seriously injured, he could not be hurt by such a person.
Xie Changyuan calmly took out the chain and wrapped it around his right hand.
If he dares to make any unusual move, he will be killed first!
Xu Chunniang observed all this with her spiritual consciousness, but pretended not to know. She even slightly shortened the distance between them and sent him a friendly message.
"The name of Third Young Master Xie of the City Lord's Mansion is well-known, so he is a trustworthy person. I am just a casual cultivator with limited attainments in the art of formations. I was just lucky just now and was able to tear a hole in the formation. From now on, I have to rely on Third Young Master."
After hearing this, Xie Changyuan's feeling of surprise gradually disappeared.
"Fellow Daoist, you are too modest. You and I are in the same situation right now. If you can help me, I will do my best."
After hearing this, Xu Chunniang began to give orders without any hesitation. After naming the positions, she asked Brother Xie, who had completed the foundation building, to do the work.
Her spiritual sense swept over Xie Changyuan's increasingly paler face and the faint traces of blood oozing from the corners of his lips, and her voice became more sincere.
"Thanks to fellow Daoist Xie, otherwise with my limited cultivation, I would not be able to get out of this chain formation anyway."
Xie Changyuan had been chased by a red phosphorus rattlesnake before. Although he avoided the snake venom, his spiritual energy was damaged.
After that, he was besieged by You Si Niang and her husband, and suffered serious injuries.
Although he took the pill, the discomfort in his body and meridians was real.
Hearing this, his eyes darkened. If it weren't for that evil couple, he wouldn't be the only one left in the City Lord's Mansion.
And Shangguan Xue...
When he thought of this woman, he became so angry that he almost coughed up blood.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, I will make her pay a higher price!
"You don't have to be polite, fellow Daoist. We are just helping each other. I see that you have extraordinary attainments in formations. I wonder if you would like to join our City Lord's Mansion after you leave this place?"
Xu Chunniang showed just the right amount of surprise on her face and agreed to the deal happily.
Seeing that the tall and thin male cultivator agreed to join the City Lord's Mansion, a faint smile appeared in Xie Changyuan's eyes.
Although there were heavy losses when entering the Tianyuan Secret Realm this time, if we can bring this person back, we can barely complete our mission.
The two walked in the formation for an incense stick of time. Xie Changyuan continued to use his spiritual energy and his complexion became worse and worse.
He groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood, then took out a few pills from his storage ring and swallowed them, frowning slightly.
"How long will it take to find the exit?"
"It's almost there. The killing array here will be broken and we will find the exit soon."
After Xu Chunniang finished speaking, she pointed to a place and said, "Great, we finally found the center of the formation. It's right here!"
At first, Xie Changyuan was wary of this tall and thin male cultivator.
But along the way, the two of them, relying on the guidance of this tall and thin Taoist friend, have resolved the murderous intentions in the formation many times.
Therefore, after the tall and thin male cultivator pointed out the location, he condensed a stream of spiritual energy without thinking and attached it to the chain, and attacked.
However, after doing all this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he had a bad warning sign.
But once the attack is launched, there is no time to stop.
The next second, Xie Changyuan's body shape changed, disappeared from the spot, and was pulled into the illusion array.
Xu Chunniang stared at the place where he disappeared for several breaths, then she moved quietly and took the initiative to step into the illusion array.
After one stick of incense, we arrived at the exit of Tianyuan Secret Realm on the west side of Hunyuan City.
A tall and thin man calmly stepped out from there. This tall and thin man was only at the fourth level of foundation building, and was none other than Xu Chunniang.
After she came out of the secret realm, she swept the surroundings with her spiritual sense. After sensing several powerful spiritual senses, she did not get entangled with them. She left the place immediately and flew towards the city.
Those powerful spiritual consciousnesses seemed a little surprised and confused, and began to communicate with each other secretly.
"The spiritual consciousness of that cultivator just now is powerful, I'm afraid it's not inferior to you and me. But judging from his cultivation level, he is only at the fourth level of foundation building. How strange."
"Why is this so strange? This Tianyuan Secret Realm only allows cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage to enter. Since that person just now hid his true appearance, he must have also sealed his own cultivation. Didn't two Jindan cultivators come out of it before?"
"But if that's the case, his revealed cultivation level should be the perfect foundation building. The fourth level of foundation building is a bit too low."
"Maybe he is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger? Who knows? The Third Young Master hasn't come out yet, so don't be distracted."
The few of them talked for a while, then quickly turned their attention back and no longer paid attention to the monk who had left.
Little did they know that the Third Young Master they were waiting for was in that man's hands.
Xu Chunniang trapped Xie Changyuan into an illusion array. Without much effort, she captured Xie Changyuan alive, threw him into the small world and brought him out of the secret realm.
If Xie Changyuan was killed directly, the soul lamp belonging to him in the City Lord's Mansion would be extinguished immediately, and the scene before he was killed would be transmitted back to the City Lord's Mansion along with the soul lamp.
Xu Chunniang is currently in Hunyuan City, so naturally she is unwilling to challenge the wrath of a Hunyuan Zhenren.
Zhenren Hunyuan is the only Yuanying Zhenren in the city and the real master of Hunyuan City.
Once the murderer who killed Xie Changyuan was seen, even if Xu Chunniang had the ability to shrink bones and change qi, she might not be able to hide it.
Therefore, after Xu Chunniang captured Xie Changyuan alive, she did not take his life directly, but shattered his dantian with one blow, and then threw him into the small world.
As for some of his personal belongings, Xu Chunniang also threw them into the small world.
After all, Xie Changyuan was very likely carrying something that could be sensed. If he carried it with him, he might be detected.
Separated by a small world, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be powerless.
Thinking of this, Xu Chunniang's lips curled slightly.
Since the City Lord's Mansion is secretly against her, she will first collect some interest from Xie Changyuan.
