Wang Gang and the others stared at the poisonous insects being continuously scorched by flames, their faces filled with disbelief.
What they found even more unimaginable were the ever-falling sinkholes behind them.
Despite their uncertainty, they clearly understood.
If they were truly swallowed, they had no idea what would happen.
Seeing all this before her, Su Xi couldn't help but frown.
Observing the speed at which the sinkholes behind them were falling, she knew that if they only continued to flee, they would never escape.
The only way was to face the difficulty head-on.
With this thought, Su Xi stopped running and reminded everyone, "Don't go yet, let's charge through together."
Upon hearing Su Xi's words, Wang Gang and Li Hu turned as pale as ghosts.
Did Su Xi truly not know what these things were?
If they were swallowed, utter destruction awaited them.
Were they truly going to be so reckless?
However, before they could even try to persuade Su Xi, they suddenly noticed that everyone else around them had already charged forward.
As they charged, only Wang Gang and Li Hu remained standing.
Behind them, countless poisonous insects threatened to lead them to eternal damnation and unimaginable torment if they entered. Ahead, endless sinkholes loomed, their fate uncertain if swallowed.
At this critical juncture, countless thoughts raced through their minds.
As these thoughts swirled, the proximity to death grew ever nearer.
Finally, gritting their teeth, they too followed Su Xi without hesitation.
In this situation, perhaps only by acting together could there be a sliver of hope.
As this situation unfolded, Su Xi and the others plunged into the sinkholes.
The sinkholes were deep, and the group fell for a long time without reaching the bottom.
Feeling their bodies suspended in the air, Su Xi's conviction grew.
This sinkhole was not a killing trap, but merely a place from which they could not leave.
Understanding this, Su Xi attempted to slowly stand up in this bizarre space.
As this happened, Su Xi discovered that despite a sense of weightlessness, it was not impossible to do so.
With this thought clear, Su Xi began to observe her surroundings.
To leave this place, they first had to escape from within it.
Seeing Su Xi's actions, the others stopped their shouting and stood obediently beside her.
This was their first time encountering such a bizarre place, so if possible, they naturally wanted to find a way to break free and leave this damned spot.
However, everything around them appeared ordinary, with no discernible anomalies.
They felt as if they were trapped inside a glass container, smooth on all sides, with no visible exit.
Seeing this, Su Xi suddenly asked, "Do you know what this place is?"
Wang Gang and the others shook their heads, indicating their ignorance.
They had only used formations to deal with others in the past, but they didn't know, nor did they care, where those who entered the formations went.
Hearing Wang Gang's reply, Su Xi said, "Actually, I think I've already found a way to leave."
???
Everyone looked at Su Xi, unsure how she had reached this conclusion.
Everything before them seemed so normal and ordinary; what made her say she had found a way?
Li Hu, lacking in social graces, blurted out, "Do you want to break through the formation with brute force?"
Based on his observation, he found that while everything around them lacked any trace of life, it wasn't entirely a dead end. If they attacked together, perhaps they could break the formation and gain a chance to survive.
Su Xi looked at Li Hu and smiled, "Do you know what's outside the formation?"
"What?" Li Hu shook his head and asked, "I can't see anything outside, but as long as there's a chance to escape, even a sea of fire and mountains of swords, I think it's worth a try."
For the first time, Wang Gang felt Li Hu's words made sense and nodded in agreement, indicating he too believed what he said.
Su Xi smiled at Li Hu and pointed to the outside of the barrier, saying, "This is where everyone who was trapped here before was confined. Do you think they wouldn't have noticed that these barriers were fragile and easily broken?"
"Huh?"
Both men said in unison, "You mean, they all disappeared because they tried to break this ordinary barrier?"
Su Xi nodded, quite certain, "The liquid surrounding us is likely a highly corrosive substance like sulfuric acid. Once we come into contact with it, not even our corpses will remain."
"Ah?" Everyone's faces turned grave, and they looked at Su Xi, asking, "In that case, what should we do?"
Didn't Su Xi say earlier that there was a way to leave this place?
Why were they still waiting?
Just as Su Xi was about to explain the method of leaving, a crisp sound echoed in her ears.
Like the shattering of a glass container, the sound instantly captured everyone's attention in the quiet atmosphere.
"Not good, cracks are appearing on the barrier," Lin Qing warned as she observed.
Seeing this, the surrounding individuals instantly showed tension in their eyes.
Watching the increasingly large cracks on the barrier, it was certain that within a short time, it would completely break. If they were caught in it, they would face utter annihilation.
Su Xi also understood the severity of the situation and wasted no time.
She quickly took out formation flags from her person and scattered them on the ground.
Following this, Su Xi continuously chanted strange incantations.
Wang Gang and Li Hu were shocked to see that Su Xi understood formations.
No wonder they had lost back then; it was because Su Xi also knew formations.
After finishing her incantations, Su Xi looked at Wang Gang and Li Hu beside her and said, "The two of you start channeling your magical power here."
???
Although Wang Gang and Li Hu had no idea what was happening, since it was Su Xi's request, they could only try their best.
Thus, they unhesitatingly began to inject their magical power into it.
As the magical power was injected, the formation flags on the ground began to emit light little by little.
With the appearance of the light, everyone felt a strong pulling force from above, and their figures were immediately lifted from their original positions.
In the main hall of the Dragon Tiger Sect, a man dressed as a Taoist priest sat on a chair, eagerly watching the image in front of him. The image showed the situation of Su Xi and the others.
???
Just as he expected to see Su Xi and the others completely corroded, he suddenly noticed their figures disappear.
Where had they gone?
This formation was something he had set up for many years, and this was the first time an accident had occurred, so he had no idea what had happened.
As they were bewildered by the situation, they suddenly saw Su Xi and the others appear before them.
Wang Gang and Li Hu looked at Lin Yi before them with disbelief.
Lin Yi, as a Nine-Bag Elder of the Dragon Tiger Sect, possessed unfathomable magical power and was also skilled in raising various poisonous insects. Now that they had appeared in Lin Yi's territory, it was no different from falling into a tiger's den.
Lin Yi's face showed a hint of hesitation upon seeing Su Xi and the others, but soon a look of joy appeared.
If Su Xi and the others had gone elsewhere, he would not have been able to find them.
Then, it would have taken him much effort to kill these people. But now that they had appeared before him, it had saved him considerable trouble.
This point had saved him a lot of effort.
With this time, he could go and get a haircut with a few girls.
Su Xi nodded at Lin Yi, "Now that I've found you, I'm at ease."
The reason she had asked Wang Gang and Li Hu to use their magical power earlier, besides not wanting to waste her hard-earned magical power, was also because she wanted to use their magical power to find this place.
Now, it seemed her objective had been achieved.
Lin Yi looked at Su Xi, his small, secretive eyes scrutinizing her for a moment. He licked his lips and said, "You're not bad. If you're willing to follow me, I can let you be my main wife."
Lin Yi then emphasized, "You know, the position of my main wife is highly sought after."
Hearing Lin Yi still dreaming at this point, Su Xi froze on the spot.
Had this person lost his mind, unable to distinguish the truth of the situation?
Did he have no awareness that he was surrounded?
Seeing Su Xi's lack of reaction, Lin Yi seemed to realize that there were so many people around him now. He waved his hand, "I understand what you mean. It must be these people around you hindering you. I'll deal with them right now."
Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Old Ghost immediately expressed his discontent.
He was usually so arrogant, yet someone dared to be even more arrogant than him.
Old Ghost immediately jumped out and attacked Lin Yi.
To him, only strength was the means of communication. Once Lin Yi was beaten like a stray dog, they could communicate properly.
Lin Yi smiled as he saw Old Ghost charging towards him.
What he had just said was intentional.
Now that Old Ghost was charging forward, it perfectly fit his plan.
So, as Old Ghost threw a punch, his body suddenly became transparent and then firmly gripped Old Ghost's hand.
"What's going on?"
