Xi Mo's eyes flickered slightly, then he turned and said, "Go down."

"Yes."

That night, in Huan Yuan Valley, Yun Nian lay on the bed, slowly opened her eyes, and her thoughts gradually cleared.

Qi Rou, the Saintess of the Hehuan Sect, could naturally sit in this position due to her abilities. Besides her outstanding charm, what was even more admirable was her profound research into Formations. She had created a unique Formation that combined entrapment and illusion within Huan Yuan Valley, which no one had been able to solve for hundreds of years. Yun Nian had heard about it in her previous life, but she never expected to have the honor of being trapped in it herself in this life.

This was also why Yun Nian hadn't resisted at all since entering, only waiting for Elder Xu Xu to rescue her. If even Formation experts couldn't break it, how could she escape? Only when Elder Xu Xu arrived and forcibly broke the Formation could she escape.

And after so many days, Master's intention was already very clear.

He wasn't coming, telling her to find a way to escape herself.

Thinking of this, Yun Nian couldn't help but sigh, then got up and tiptoed downstairs.

She had been looking for an opportunity these past few days, but Qi Rou seemed determined to fight her to the end, never leaving Huan Yuan Valley. However, just this evening, she saw Qi Rou conversing with a female Hehuan Sect cultivator through a light screen, so she specifically kept an eye out and didn't fall into a deep sleep. As expected, not long ago, Qi Rou left Huan Yuan Valley.

Yun Nian then headed straight for Qi Rou's room.

She was currently only trapped in the center of Huan Yuan Valley and didn't know the full layout of the place. Her purpose in entering Qi Rou's room this time was to see if she could find a map of Huan Yuan Valley. There were only four days left; she couldn't just stay here and wait for death these days.

When Qi Rou left Huan Yuan Valley and went to the agreed location, a female Hehuan Sect cultivator was already waiting there.

As soon as she entered the door, Qi Rou immediately asked, "What's the rush? Has something happened to the Sect?"

Due to the yellow talisman Elder Xu Xu had sent earlier, Qi Rou had been restless day and night. This time, she rushed over without stopping, fearing that person would actually go to the Hehuan Sect with a sword.

Hearing this, the female cultivator quickly said, "Saintess, don't worry. It's just that Sect Master received news that Young Master recently came to the Huan Yuan Valley area, so he sent a message for this humble one to remind the Saintess."

Qi Rou's brows furrowed. "Young Master? Didn't they say he was traveling in the north? Why did he suddenly come to my Huan Yuan Valley?"

"This humble one doesn't know, but the news from the Sect Master shouldn't be wrong," the female cultivator replied.

After pondering for a long while, Qi Rou finally nodded and said, "I understand. I will definitely be more careful lately."

Inside the room, Yun Nian quickly searched while extending her Divine Sense, but found no records of Huan Yuan Valley's Illusion Formation.

While wondering, the approach of a familiar Divine Sense made her heart tremble, and she quickly got up and walked out.

However, after taking one step out, her gaze suddenly shifted to the table in the room, then slowly moved downwards.

Under one of the table legs, a yellowish ragged cloth was propping it up.

Qi Rou's Divine Sense was getting closer and closer. Yun Nian only hesitated for a moment, then immediately walked over, took out the ragged cloth from under the table leg, and unfolded it to look.

Because Qi Rou was already close, Yun Nian only glanced at it briefly, then put the ragged cloth back and rushed to her room.

At the same time, Qi Rou had also returned to the pavilion.

After entering the room, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly. The scent in the air was somewhat different from before.

Then Qi Rou looked directly towards the table. After seeing the ragged cloth that had been moved, she understood. She flipped her hand, took out a Formation book, placed it on the bookshelf next to it, and then went back to bed to rest.

After returning to her room, Yun Nian sat at the table, flipped her hand to take out paper and pen, carefully closed her eyes to recall, and then quickly drew the pattern she had seen on the ragged cloth earlier onto the paper.

After the complete pattern was drawn, Yun Nian could finally confirm that the pattern on the ragged cloth was indeed a map, and it was a map related to the Formations in Huan Yuan Valley.

Earlier, Yun Nian had secretly explored the overall terrain of Huan Yuan Valley through her Divine Sense, but she didn't dare to be too obvious, so she only knew the situation within a ten-mile radius, which happened to correspond to the terrain drawn on this paper.

After seeing this map, Yun Nian's brows furrowed even tighter.

Except for the central area where she could move, all other places had Formations, no matter where she went. This Huan Yuan Valley was composed of thousands of Formations, which not only fit the terrain perfectly but also had no flaws. Even if she had this map, she couldn't get out.

If that's the case, why didn't Master come to save her?

Could it be that he believed Qi Rou wouldn't dare to harm her?

If that were true, then perhaps she could take a gamble... Xi Family Branch

Xi Mo looked at the map handed to him by his subordinate, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter. "So, no one can really get out of this Illusion Formation?"

"Precisely, precisely. Young Master, your personal visit from thousands of miles away truly honors us. Your subordinates have already prepared a welcoming banquet for you, just waiting for you to arrive," a Butler-like figure walked over and said with a fawning smile.

Xi Mo merely frowned and glanced at him, then coldly said, "I already instructed that my arrival here was not to be publicized. Cancel the welcoming banquet, get out, and don't let others disturb me."

Seeing Xi Mo angry, the man quickly bowed and said, "Yes, yes, yes, this humble one will go and handle it immediately!"

After the surroundings quieted down, Xi Mo lowered his eyes to look at the map in his hand. The scene of his battle with Yun Nian in the South Bamboo Forest that day reappeared in his Sea of Consciousness, and he tightened his grip on the map.

The next morning, Yun Nian, who hadn't slept all night, heard movement downstairs and went down.

Upon going downstairs, she saw Qi Rou leisurely tending to her spirit beasts, a group of Pink Butterflies.

Yun Nian's gaze was attracted by the flashes of light in the distance outside, and she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness Saintess, what's happening outside?"

"Someone is just trespassing in the valley," Qi Rou said indifferently, as if she didn't care at all.

As her voice fell, Yun Nian couldn't help but size Qi Rou up and down. Sensing Yun Nian's gaze, Qi Rou turned her head and looked at her, saying, "Why are you looking at me?"

"Aren't you going to take a look? What if it's my Master who came?" Yun Nian was truly puzzled. For so many days, hadn't the Saintess of the Hehuan Sect been hoping for Elder Xu Xu to come and rescue her? Now someone was trespassing in the valley, yet she showed no emotion.
