Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Seeing an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years, Song Qingming hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Xia Mo in return.

After not seeing each other for decades, the cultivation of the two has changed. Song Qingming has broken through from the fourth level of Golden Core to the late Golden Core.

As Song Qingming expected, Xia Mo, the favored daughter of heaven, successfully cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm and was only one step away from entering the Nascent Soul Realm.

After Xia Mo and He Mengxin left Wei State together, Song Qingming had never met them again. He also didn't expect that Xia Mo, the "Holy Maiden of Baihua Palace" who seldom went out, would take the initiative to come to the Floating Cloud Mountains to find him.

After greeting Song Qingming, Xia Mo said to the purple-clothed woman beside her, "Junior Sister Han, please go and send this junior back first!"

Upon hearing this, Song Qingming nodded slightly to Song Xuanyu, who was still a little at a loss, and soon she left with the purple-clothed woman named Han.

After the purple-clothed woman and Song Xuanyu left, Xia Mo turned to Song Qingming and said:

"Fellow Daoist Song, I came to see you this time because of Junior Sister He's matter. Did Junior Sister He come to Qinghe County to look for you a year ago? Could you please tell me the truth?"

Hearing Xia Mo asking about He Mengxin, Song Qingming glanced at Wu Xiang not far away, nodded slightly to Xia Mo and said, "Yes! Fellow Daoist He did come to Qinghe County about a year ago.

However, she came in a hurry that time and only stayed for a few days before leaving. "

Xia Mo stared at Song Qingming's eyes, and after getting his answer, she continued to ask: "After Junior Sister He left Qinghe County, do you know where she went? Did she tell you anything else?"

Song Qingming shook his head slightly and said, "I never heard her say she was going there. At that time, Fellow Daoist He just said that she came out in a hurry and had to return to the sect in a hurry, so I didn't keep her.

But I can be sure that she went east when she left. It looked like she was returning to the East China Sea, not going anywhere else!
May I ask why Fairy Xia asked this question, but what happened to Fellow Daoist He?"

After hearing Song Qingming's question, Xia Mo was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "After Junior Sister He left the sect last time, she never returned, and no news was sent back to the sect.

The sect searched everywhere but couldn't find any news about her. We finally found you based on the guidance of the life tablet she left in the sect."

"Fellow Daoist, what you mean is that after Fellow Daoist He left Qinghe County last time, he did not return to the East China Sea?"

After hearing Xia Mo's story, Song Qingming finally understood why the people from "Hundred Flowers Palace" came to find him. It was because of the sect elder He Mengxin who had disappeared a year ago.

Upon learning that He Mengxin did not return to the sect after leaving Qinghe County last time but suddenly disappeared, Song Qingming was surprised.

Although the journey from the East China Sea to the immortal cultivation world of the Floating Cloud Mountains is long, it does not pass through the territories controlled by the more dangerous high-level monsters.

Logically speaking, as He Mengxin is a fifth-level Jindan cultivator and this is not his first time coming to the Floating Cloud Mountains to cultivate immortals, there shouldn't be any unexpected situations on the way.

Unless she was unlucky enough to encounter some powerful demon cultivator or bandit cultivator on the road, or was targeted by high-level cultivators from other hostile sects of the "Hundred Flowers Palace".

Although the possibility is very low, most people will not easily provoke a Jindan cultivator with a background. However, there is never a shortage of greedy people in the world of immortal cultivation, and nothing is absolutely impossible.

"Fellow Daoist Song is right! Junior Sister He has been missing for almost a year. We are here to find her. I hope you will not misunderstand me.

According to the sect's horoscope, the place where Junior Sister He disappeared is near Qinghe County, but we haven't found the exact location yet. Since Fellow Daoist Song was the last person to see Junior Sister He, I hope you can give me some pointers."

After Xia Mo finished speaking, she took the initiative to bow to Song Qingming and expressed her gratitude first.

Seeing this, Song Qingming waved his hand and said, "Fairy Xia, you are too polite. Fellow Daoist He and I are close friends. She disappeared after leaving me. This matter has something to do with me. How can I just sit there and watch?

Fairy Xia, please feel free to tell me what you need. I will do my best to help you as long as I can.

I hope you two Daoists can trust me. I just learned about Daoist He's disappearance and I have not lied to you. I swear in front of the Heaven that I was not aware of this matter."

Ever since the other party kidnapped Song Xuanyu without revealing their identity from the beginning, Song Qingming had never understood what the people from "Baihua Palace" meant by this. Now, after hearing Xia Mo's explanation, he finally understood.

According to Xia Mo, the place where He Mengxin disappeared was near Qinghe County, and she only went to "Funiu Mountain" when she came to Weiguo this time. Naturally, the Song family is one of the people who may also take action against He Mengxin.

Xia Mo and the others went through so much trouble just to test "Funiu Mountain" to see if the Song family had any connection with He Mengxin's disappearance.

Hearing what Song Qingming said, Xia Mo smiled and said, "Since I have confessed everything to you, I naturally believe you, so please don't doubt me anymore.

What I did just now was indeed to test you. After all, we have come all the way from the East China Sea, so we need to be careful in our actions. I hope you won't blame me.

We have to apologize for scaring your young generation. This gift is an explanation to you. I hope that you will not worry about this matter anymore for the sake of me and Junior Sister He."

After Xia Mo finished speaking, a small jade box appeared in her hand, and she was about to give it to Song Qingming.

However, after Song Qingming saw this item, he simply waved his hand and said, "Fairy Xia, there is no need to be so polite. Since what happened just now was a misunderstanding, I will naturally not keep it in my heart.

Daoist He disappeared for no reason, and you came here to look for her. It is understandable that you are a little anxious. So let's just leave it at that and don't mention it again in the future."

As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, Wu Xiang, who was standing beside him, immediately said happily:

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Song is indeed a generous person. I'm afraid we will need to stay in Qinghe County for a while to find Junior Sister He. I hope Fellow Daoist Song will not be so formal with us."

"Song has just said that as long as I can help find Fellow Daoist He, please feel free to tell me what you need, and I will fully cooperate!"

After hearing this, Wu Xiang glanced at Xia Mo and immediately said to Song Qingming, "We can only find the area near Qinghe County where Junior Sister He disappeared using the sect's fate tablets, and we can't find her exact location right now.

I have practiced a secret method of finding people, but I still need to use a spiritual object or magic weapon that Junior Sister He has recently come into contact with to collect a trace of spiritual energy from her body.

I found a few items in her cave before I came here, but unfortunately she hasn't used them for a long time, and they can no longer collect her spiritual energy. I wonder if Brother Song can provide me with one."

"I think there is one of Daoist Fellow He's personal magic weapons. Please follow me to the market and sit for a while. I will send someone to get it right away."

After hearing what Wu Xiang needed, Song Qingming thought for a moment, and immediately remembered that when He Mengxin came to "Funiu Mountain" last time, she gave Huang Siyuan a bracelet magic weapon that she had worn, so he immediately agreed.

Just when Song Qingming and his companions were preparing to return to "Chiyanfang" together, the purple-clothed woman who had just left had also returned to the foot of the mountain. Seeing that everyone had reached an agreement, she followed Song Qingming and the others back to the market.

On the way, through Wu Xiang's introduction, Song Qingming finally learned the name of the woman in purple, whose name was Han Yutong.

Although this woman's cultivation level is similar to He Mengxin's, she formed the Dan more than 20 years later than her. She is also a person with excellent talent for cultivation.

After returning to "Chiyanfang" and hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Huang Siyuan finally understood the whole story. She quickly returned to "Funiu Mountain" and took the bracelet that He Mengxin had given her a year ago.

In order to help this time, in addition to this bracelet, Huang Siyuan also made a special trip to Song Changze and Liu Yuxin's cave, found several spiritual objects that He Mengxin had given to her apprentice before, and brought them over.

The purple-clothed woman who went to Chiyanfang before originally wanted to go directly to the market to secretly find Liu Yuxin to inquire about He Mengxin's news, and then ask her for these spiritual objects. Unfortunately, the other party happened to be out for training, so she returned empty-handed.

After getting the spiritual object that He Mengxin had recently touched, Wu Xiang took out a talisman and immediately began to cast a spell. He soon found a trace of He Mengxin's spiritual energy from the bracelet.

Then Wu Xiang took out a compass-like magic weapon and stuck the talisman wrapped in He Meng's spiritual energy on it. Soon the compass in his hand began to spin non-stop.

After some positioning, the direction indicated by the compass finally stopped in the northeast of "Chiyanfang".

"Have you found Fellow Daoist He?" Seeing that Wu Xiang's compass stopped rotating, Song Qingming, who was standing aside, asked first.

Wu Xiang nodded calmly and said, "According to the instructions on the compass, Junior Sister He should be about two to three thousand miles northeast of here.

Although this method can locate where Junior Sister He is, it can only give a rough direction, and we still need to search slowly along the way."

The secret method of finding people used by Wu Xiang is somewhat similar in principle to the "Bloodline Soul Finding Method" used by Song Qingming before. Both methods use things related to the person being searched to locate the approximate location of the other person.

It’s just that Song Qingming’s “Bloodline Soul-Seeking Method” is more accurate in positioning, and is only effective within a distance of dozens of miles.

Although Wu Xiang's secret method can find farther places, its accuracy is relatively low. It can only find an approximate direction with an error of about a hundred miles.

"As long as you can find the approximate location, it's fine. Two thousand miles northeast of here is Yunwu Mountain. I'm quite familiar with this place. I'll go there with you guys later, and I should be able to help you find Fellow Daoist He faster."

Hearing that the location Wu Xiang mentioned was in the Yunwu Mountain not far away, Song Qingming quickly spoke up and expressed his willingness to go with them.

Seeing Song Qingming say this, Xia Mo on the side shook her head slightly and said: "The disappearance of Junior Sister He has nothing to do with you. You have helped us a lot by finding the magic weapon. How can we trouble you again?

Going to look for Junior Sister He may be a bit dangerous, so I think Brother Song should not go yet. We can come back to find you if we need you, right?"

"Fairy Xia, you are too polite. Fellow Daoist He and I are close friends, so how can I say that you are in trouble? Moreover, although Fellow Daoist He's disappearance has nothing to do with my Song family, it happened in Qinghe County after all. If I ignore it, I will be ashamed to face my old friend in the future."

Seeing that Xia Mo actually refused his help, Song Qingming was slightly surprised, but he still insisted on showing his willingness to help.

The reason why Song Qingming insisted on going was because He Mengxin's disappearance made him feel something was strange.

In Qinghe County and even in Yunwu Mountain, apart from the Song family, there are no other Jindan cultivators or demon kings. If He Mengxin really had an accident nearby, then there must be a mysterious and powerful force hiding here.

Just like the group of ghost cultivators found in "Yinfeng Ridge" that year, if this hidden danger is not eliminated soon, it will definitely be difficult for the Song family, who are only a few thousand miles away, to sleep well.

Even if it wasn't for He Mengxin, Song Qingming also wanted to check out what kind of powerful thing was hiding in the "Yunwu Mountain" which was so close.

"Since Fellow Daoist Song wants to help, how can we turn him away? If we ruin Fellow Daoist Song's good intentions, I think Senior Sister Xia should stop being polite to him!"

Seeing that Song Qingming insisted on going together, Han Yutong, who was standing next to him, hurriedly spoke up to help him. It was obvious that she hoped that Song Qingming could go and help.

"This is an internal matter of our sect. I don't want to trouble Fellow Daoist Song, but it's kind of you to take the initiative to help. Junior Sister Xia, you should come up with the idea!"

Seeing that Song Qingming insisted on going, another elder of "Baihua Palace", Wu Xiang, didn't seem to agree.

However, what he said was more tactful than Xia Mo. He did not directly refuse, but simply handed the question back to Xia Mo for the decision.

Although Wu Xiang's cultivation level was the same as Xia Mo's, both of them were ninth-level Jindan cultivators, but he had always obeyed Xia Mo, the Saintess of the "Hundred Flowers Palace", and had never spoken out against any of her ideas or suggestions.

After staring at Song Qingming calmly, Xia Mo finally nodded and agreed: "Since Brother Song is willing to help, then thank you for your help!
However, this trip may be somewhat dangerous. If you really encounter any unfavorable situation, Brother Song can leave on his own and don't need to worry about us. I hope Brother Song will remember this."

"Don't worry, fairy. I have been practicing for many years and I am not the kind of person who is indecisive or brave. If I really encounter danger, I will go to the Xiaoyao Sect for help." Hearing Xia Mo's kind reminder, Song Qingming hurriedly bowed and agreed.

Seeing that Xia Mo agreed to take Song Qingming with her, Han Yutong's face suddenly showed some joy, while Wu Xiang looked at Xia Mo with some surprise for suddenly changing her mind.

After talking to the people from "Baihua Palace", Song Qingming said a few words to Huang Siyuan outside and asked her to return to "Funiu Mountain" first.

He quickly reunited with Xia Mo and the other two, and then left "Chiyanfang" together and flew towards Yunwu Mountain in the northeast.

Because the secret method Wu Xiang had used before could only locate the approximate location of He Mengxin, and there was no way to directly determine the exact direction, the speed of the group's flight was not very fast along the way, and they had to stop and change direction from time to time.

Following Wu Xiang who was holding a compass and exploring slowly forward, Song Qingming saw that they were getting closer and closer to the target location, but his face did not show too much nervousness.

This time, except for Han Yutong, the other three people including himself who came out to look for He Mengxin were all masters in the late Jindan stage. As long as they didn't encounter a Yuanying level existence, there should be no danger to them.

The reason why Song Qingming dared to come out this time was also for this reason. It would be much safer to act together with Xia Mo and others than to come alone in the future.

After walking for most of the day, they finally arrived at a place surrounded by mountains at dark.

"The location that Junior Sister He's spiritual energy pointed to should be not far ahead, but it's not convenient to search now because it's dark. Let's rest here for a night and continue searching tomorrow!"

Hearing Wu Xiang's suggestion, Song Qingming and others did not object and quickly nodded in agreement.

Although Wu Xiang's status in Baihua Palace is average, he is very experienced in speaking and dealing with people. When Song Qingming first met him, he had a good impression of him.

However, later on, this person deliberately went to curry favor with him in order to get close to Xia Mo, which made Song Qingming somewhat puzzled. Therefore, Song Qingming still had some reservations about his impression of Wu Xiang.

When fighting with Han Yutong outside "Chiyanfang" before, Song Qingming would not have given up easily if the other party had not mentioned Xia Mo's name.

Knowing that there were no high-level monsters nearby, Song Qingming was not too worried while sitting there to rest. He simply set up a magic circle in front of himself, then quickly took out a few spirit stones and began to meditate and practice.

Han Yutong did the same as Song Qingming. He found a clean place nearby and sat down. Then he released his red python to guard the surrounding area.

The red python beside Han Yutong, like Huang Siyuan's "Red Flame", is also a demon king-level spirit beast in the early stage of the Golden Core. It was successfully subdued by Han Yutong after he formed the Core.

In terms of cultivation, Han Yutong's red python is actually not much different from Huang Siyuan's "Chi Yan". However, snake monsters are naturally able to restrain rats, so in the previous battle, "Chi Yan" suffered a lot of losses when fighting against it.

Xia Mo and Wu Xiang were rather casual. They neither entered into meditation nor took excessive precautions against their surroundings. They just sat quietly and looked at the sky not far away.

The moon set and the sun rose, and soon it was the next morning. As the sun appeared, the thick fog that filled the mountains was slowly dissipated.

Seeing that the surrounding scenery was clearly visible, everyone set out again and began to search carefully for He Mengxin's location.

This mountainous area is located deep in the "Yunwu Mountain" and is almost close to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range in the north. Apart from monsters, there are very few cultivators around.

Because the area is sparsely populated and conducive to concealment, there were indeed many bandits and demons hiding nearby in the past. The "Eagle Peak Ridge" that Song Qingming and the people of Qinghe County wiped out was not far from here.

However, due to the sudden rise of the Song family in recent years, the number of bandits and demons entrenched in the vicinity has decreased significantly compared to before, and there are no large groups of bandits hiding here like in "Yingfengling". Song Qingming had been to the vicinity before, so he was somewhat familiar with the surrounding area. After two days of careful searching under his leadership, they soon came to a high mountain that was very suitable for hiding.

"Junior Sister He's aura is nearby, most likely on this mountain." Wu Xiang, who had just arrived here and was holding an incense burner, immediately spoke excitedly.

After hearing Wu Xiang's words, Song Qingming and others were also cheered up. After wandering in the mountains for several days, they finally gained something today.

A few people were preparing to set out to explore the mountain, but they suddenly heard someone talking not far away, interrupting their steps.

After a while, two monks carrying the corpse of a monster walked quickly towards where Song Qingming and others were. It was obvious that the place they were going to was also the high mountain not far away.

Seeing that the two people in front of him were only at the Qi Refining stage, Han Yutong, who was standing next to the crowd, immediately smiled and said, "Everyone wait a moment, I'll go grab someone to ask about the situation above."

After saying that, Han Yutong disappeared in a flash, and a moment later, she suddenly appeared in front of the two people who were on their way, scaring them.

However, before they could shout out, the two of them seemed to be bewitched, and followed Han Yutong with a dull look on their faces and came to Song Qingming and others.

"These two little guys have been trapped in their minds by my spell of bewitching. If you have any questions, just ask them directly. They will answer truthfully."

Seeing Han Yutong's "bewitching technique" that could control others so easily, Song Qingming showed some surprise on his face.

Song Qingming had practiced for more than 200 years and had heard of many such secret techniques from various books, but this was the first time he had seen someone perform it in front of him. He was inevitably curious about the power of this technique and asked the two men first:
"You are monks from there, what are you doing here?"

"We are from Zheng State. We fled to Yulong Mountain ten years ago and settled there. Yesterday, we received a mission and went out to kill a monster. We are going back to the mountain to ask for a reward."

"How many monks are there on this mountain now, and what is their cultivation level?"

"In addition to Boss Yu, there is also..."

After hearing the two men's frank answers, Song Qingming and his companions finally understood the situation on the mountain behind them.

This place is called "Yulong Mountain" and it was a deserted place ten years ago.

After the monster riots, large areas of Zheng State's territory fell, and many immortal cultivation families and independent cultivation forces were severely damaged by the monster army. Some unlucky ones were even wiped out.

Therefore, many cultivators from Zheng State drifted to the neighboring Wei State. Among them, many cultivators lost their place of practice and went astray, becoming what everyone called bandits.

The "Fish Dragon Mountain" in front of Song Qingming was founded by a Zheng State foundation-building cultivator named Yu Long, who took refuge in this place ten years ago and created a bandit force.

Although under the leadership of Yu Long, they have killed many independent cultivators near Pingyang County in recent years, because these people have just arrived here and are hiding deep in the "Yunwu Mountain" and rarely come out, they have not attracted the attention of the nearby immortal cultivation families.

Song Qingming and others were a little surprised to hear that the bandits on the opposite mountain were just led by a group of foundation-building cultivators.

There were only a few dozen bandits on "Yulong Mountain", and the leader of the bandits was only in the initial stage of foundation building. It sounded like they had nothing to do with the disappearance of He Mengxin, a Jindan cultivator, so they couldn't help but be a little skeptical about what the other party said.

After questioning them for a few more sentences, I only learned from them that in the past year or so, some strange monks had indeed come to the mountain, but they couldn't say who they were or what their cultivation level was.

Seeing that they could not answer any useful questions in response to Song Qingming's question, Han Yutong quickly said, "These two people are only at the Qi Refining Stage, so they may not know much. It seems that this gang of criminals must have someone behind the scenes.

I just checked and found that they were not contaminated with demonic energy. Now we can be sure that the one who attacked Junior Sister He was not the demon cultivator. It seems that it could only be the bandit cultivator or the independent cultivator nearby. "

Before everyone arrived here, what they were most worried about was that He Mengxin might have encountered some powerful demon cultivator. For this reason, Song Qingming even carried two high-level soul-chasing talismans to deal with the demon cultivator's spirit.

After hearing what Han Yutong said, Song Qingming and the others looked much better and looked a little relieved.

Compared to those demon cultivators whose magical powers are strange and unpredictable, it would definitely be easier for them to deal with bandit cultivators whose cultivation level is not much different from theirs.

"Senior Sister Xia, Senior Brother Wu, Fellow Daoist Song, I will go and challenge them first to see what kind of strength this group of people has."

After explaining the situation to the three people, Han Yutong spoke first, wanting to go forward and lead the charge to see if he could lure out the person behind the scenes.

Seeing this, Song Qingming and the other two did not say anything to stop them. With Wu Xiang's careful instructions, Han Yutong had already taken the initiative to release his aura and transformed into a beam of light, rushing straight towards the "Fish Dragon Mountain" in front of them.

After arriving at the top of the mountain, Han Yutong didn't say much and directly took out a flying sword magic weapon and slashed at the mountain protection formation in front of him.

The spiritual vein of "Yulong Mountain" was only of the lower grade of the second level, and the grade of the mountain protection formation on it was not very high either. Han Yutong used all his strength to slash the lower grade of the second level mountain protection formation into pieces in an instant with one sword.

After a loud bang, dozens of low-level Qi Refining cultivators suddenly ran out from the mountain, along with a middle-aged man riding a flying sword.

However, before they could get away from the place, a giant red python more than ten meters long flew down from mid-air. It killed a large number of bandits with one swipe of its tail and forced them back into the mountain.

"Who dares to come here and commit crimes?"

Han Yutong had just made his move when an angry shout came from a cave on the top of the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, two rays of light flew out, and a young man and a white-haired old man came to the sky and confronted Han Yutong.

The young man's cultivation level is not much different from Han Yutong's, and he is also a fifth-level Jindan cultivator. In addition, the old man has a fierce scar on his face. This person's cultivation level is higher than Song Qingming's, and he is a late-stage Jindan cultivator who has cultivated to the eighth level of Jindan.

"There really are people behind this. It seems like these two people are most likely responsible for Junior Sister He's disappearance."

Seeing these two people suddenly appear, Wu Xiang on the side immediately said something, and then, fearing that Han Yutong would suffer a loss, he immediately flashed to a high altitude and stood beside Han Yutong.

Seeing this, Song Qingming and Xia Mo also came to the air one after the other and surrounded the two men from the front and back.

"Where did you two Taoist friends come from? Why are you hiding here and causing trouble?"

Seeing that there was a late Jindan cultivator among the two, Song Qingming's face was also very shocked. This place was only more than 2,000 miles away from the Song family's "Chiyanfang", which was very close.

With so many powerful Jindan bandit cultivators hiding by his side and the entire Song family still being unaware of it, how could he not feel a little scared?

Seeing that the other side suddenly had so many powerful Jindan cultivators, the two men were immediately shocked and their expressions became very ugly.

The white-haired old man immediately bowed to Wu Xiang and said with a smile: "Haha! Fellow Taoists, we are just passing by here and stopped to rest. Is there any misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding! I think you two should stop playing dumb in front of me. Junior Sister He should be in your hands. Hand her over quickly, or you won't be able to leave today."

"What do you mean, Junior Sister He? You really misunderstood us. We are not from the vicinity. We just happened to pass by here. We have nothing to do with these people on the mountain. If you want to find someone, you might as well ask them."

"Hmph! It seems that you won't tell the truth unless I show you some strength." Wu Xiang snorted coldly, and two black long sword magic weapons immediately appeared in his hands.

Just as he was about to make a move, the old man immediately shouted, "Fellow Daoists, don't make a move yet. I know who you are looking for. I will take you to find her right away."

After saying this, the old man immediately smiled apologetically and flew down the mountain.

Seeing this, Wu Xiang winked at Han Yutong, asking her to keep an eye on the other young man in white. He, Song Qingming and Xia Mo followed the old man to find He Mengxin.

Just as they arrived at a dark cave on the top of the mountain, before Song Qingming and the others could ask, the old man directly explained: "The person you are talking about should be in here.

Fellow Taoists, this matter has nothing to do with me. Someone else actually arrested her. You will find out once you go in!"

"What did you say? Is there someone else inside?" Hearing the old man's words, Wu Xiang and Song Qingming's faces suddenly changed and they couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man nodded and said, "Yes, there is another person hiding in this cave. This guy has the same level of cultivation as me, and he is from Zheng State."

Just when their attention was focused on the white-haired old man, a fluctuation of spiritual power suddenly came from near the cave entrance, followed by a dazzling golden light coming from the cave, which suddenly illuminated Song Qingming and the other two so much that they could hardly open their eyes.

Just when Wu Xiang used the shield to block the strong light, he discovered that the white-haired old man had quickly sneaked into the cave while the others were distracted.

"Old bastard, where are you escaping to!" Seeing that the white-haired old man was about to escape, Wu Xiang shouted angrily, and immediately controlled the magic weapon in his hand to chase in the direction where the other party disappeared at the cave entrance.

"Wu Daoyou, please wait a moment!"

Seeing that Wu Xiang had followed in, Song Qingming and Xia Mo didn't think much and immediately followed him into the dark cave. The cave was very spacious, and the four of them flew quickly one after the other without any obstacles.

After chasing for a while, Song Qingming suddenly found that the white-haired old man and Wu Xiang, perhaps because of their increased speed, suddenly disappeared from his sight after turning a corner in the cave.

Song Qingming and Xia Mo sped up and chased for half a quarter of an hour, but still could not see their figures, nor did they see the end of the cave. He couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, and he hurriedly stopped.

"Fairy Xia, something is wrong! How big can this cave be? We have been flying out for so long, but why are we still not at the end? Is there some magic array that has trapped us here?"

After hearing what Song Qingming said, Xia Mo did not answer directly. Instead, a colorful flower basket appeared in her hand in an instant.

Under her control, dozens of colorful petals immediately rolled up from the colorful flower basket and shot directly towards the mountain wall next to it.

Unexpectedly, these extremely sharp petals only made a series of "crackling" sounds when hitting the mountain wall, and failed to damage the mountain wall at all.

Song Qingming had suffered from Xia Mo's flower basket magic weapon when he first met Xia Mo. Naturally, he was very clear about the power of this magic weapon.

Seeing that Xia Mo's attack failed to break the mountain wall in front of them, the two men immediately realized that something was wrong here. Their faces suddenly changed and they immediately retreated, wanting to leave the cave.

At this moment, a somewhat teasing laugh suddenly came from deep in the cave.

"Haha. Now that you have come in, it will not be easy to get out. This is the Yin-Yang Eight Extremes Array that I have spent a year to set up. Even if you fly until you die of exhaustion, you will not be able to get out."

The laughter had a hint of old age. When Song Qingming heard it, he immediately recognized that it came from the white-haired old man who had just escaped.

"Yin-Yang Eight Extremes Formation, how is this possible? Could this person be a fourth-level formation master?" Hearing the old man's words, Song Qingming's face was slightly startled, and he asked Xia Mo beside him with some confusion.

Xia Mo did not slow down her speed after hearing this, but just smiled bitterly at Song Qingming beside her and said: "Fellow Daoist Song, my understanding of the art of formation is not much better than yours, otherwise I would not have fallen into the trap so easily just now.

Regardless of whether what the other party said is true or false, the only thing we can do now is to try and see if we can withdraw directly. If not, we can make other plans."

After hearing what Xia Mo said, Song Qingming did not object. The two of them ignored the ridicule and continued to speed along the direction they came from.

However, before the two flew far, a flash of fire suddenly appeared in front of them, followed by a fierce flame, instantly blocking their way.

"careful!"

After feeling the powerful spiritual power contained in the flames ahead, Xia Mo immediately reminded Song Qingming who was standing beside her.

Then she reached out and quickly took out a golden bracelet that was originally worn on her hand, forming a protective shield to protect her entire body so that she was not hurt at all by the flames.

Seeing this, Song Qingming, who was standing by, also used a white jade ruler magic weapon to block in front of himself. The white jade ruler also turned into a light shield to block the fierce flames coming from the front.

However, before the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief, the sound of rushing water suddenly came from behind.

Song Qingming turned around and saw a green flood coming towards them from behind, but it reached them in an instant.

Although this green flood looks ordinary, it also contains extremely powerful spiritual power. If you are touched by it, it would probably be uncomfortable.

Just when Song Qingming released his life-saving magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to prepare for action, Xia Mo had already released a high-quality third-level intermediate defense talisman, which turned into an earth wall barrier to temporarily block the flood that was already approaching.

"It looks like this old guy is going to take action against us!"

Seeing the sudden flames and floods in front of him, Song Qingming knew without guessing that it must be the white-haired old man who was controlling this formation and had begun to want to kill them.

"Haha! This yin and yang, water and fire, are endless. How much magic power can you two have to resist? I think you two should surrender and hand over all the magic weapons and spiritual objects on you. I will feel relieved and maybe I can even spare your lives.

Otherwise, if you think of begging for mercy later, you won’t be so lucky.”

"Humph! You think you can make us kneel down and beg for mercy? You are not worthy enough!"

Hearing the other party's tempting words, Xia Mo's pretty face turned cold and she immediately opened her mouth and scolded the other party.

After saying that, Xia Mo suddenly had a palm-sized transparent ball emitting a hint of cold air in her hand. After this magic weapon appeared from Xia Mo's hand, Song Qingming immediately felt that the temperature around him dropped instantly.

When Xia Mo cast the spell, the transparent sphere instantly flew into the air and then emitted a dazzling blue light.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of ice freezing came from all around the two of them. In just a moment, the green flood that had just rushed towards them and the fierce flames that were attacking from the front were all frozen into very hard ice by this transparent spherical magic weapon.

For a moment, the oncoming flames and floods were blocked by the thick ice, which immediately turned the situation of the two people from danger to safety.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming's face lit up with joy, and his tense nerves instantly relaxed.

But before Song Qingming could be happy for a moment, Xia Mo whispered something and woke him up again.

"Fellow Daoist Song, my Mysterious Ice Pearl can only last for two hours at most once it is released. We need to think of another way to escape quickly, otherwise it will be difficult for the two of us to hold out in this formation for too long." (End of this chapter)
