As her words fell, Qi Rou's hand movements paused involuntarily.

Indeed, she couldn't very well say that she had already received Elder Xu Xu's threatening letter yesterday and knew he wouldn't come. From Yun Nian's perspective, her behavior was indeed suspicious.

Thus, Qi Rou's eyes darted around, and the next moment she stood up and said, "I'm warning you, stay here and don't try any tricks!"

With that, Qi Rou flew towards the direction where the light was surging.

Seeing that Qi Rou had gone far, Yun Nian immediately rushed into her room.

After a night of studying the map yesterday, she highly suspected that the tattered cloth used to prop up the table leg was not the final Formation distribution map, but merely a draft from an earlier design. Today, she had caught an opportunity to enter her room again, and this time she definitely had to search more carefully.

At the same time, inside Huan Yuan Valley, a group of Formation Masters surrounded Xi Mo, continuously trying to persuade him.

"With our abilities, if we turn back now, we might still be able to return the way we came. If we go any further, we truly cannot guarantee that we can get out, Young Master Xi, let's go back!"

"Yes, that Hehuan Sect demoness's Formation attainments are truly formidable; we really can't break it!"

"No reward without merit. You have already received Spirit Stones and boasted before me. Now you want to flee the battle," Xi Mo frowned deeply, "Are you not afraid of being ridiculed by the world if word gets out?"

As his words fell, everyone immediately fell silent.

After a long while, one person still stammered, "Even if we go in, if that Hehuan demoness is truly in this Huan Yuan Valley, how can we remain safe and sound?"

"Even so, all of you can only move forward. You all thought clearly before coming. If you leave now, it will be difficult to establish yourselves in the Formation world in the future," Xi Mo said indifferently again.

This sentence successfully dispelled most people's thoughts of retreating, with only the person from before still looking worried.

Xi Mo merely glanced at him indifferently, then continued, "Please focus on breaking the Formation and speak no further."

As his words fell, everyone could only follow Xi Mo's instructions, continuing to break the Formation and move forward. And just after they broke the next Formation, the Formation Master who had wanted to retreat earlier, after much deliberation, quietly slipped away from behind, not keeping up with Xi Mo's First Squad.

Above Huan Yuan Valley, Qi Rou watched those people busy themselves within the Formation, and couldn't help but let out a cold snort: "These third-rate Formation Masters actually think they can break my Formation. Today's juniors are truly becoming more and more naive."

Then she turned to look in the direction of the pavilion, gritting her teeth and muttering, "It's a pity about my half-finished Formation book, half of my life's work for so many years, all for that Little Girl! It's truly easier to invite a god than to send one away..."

Yun Nian wandered around Qi Rou's room and finally found the Formation book on the bookshelf. She took it down, and after only two pages, her eyes lit up.

This Formation book was different from those on the market, likely written by Qi Rou herself. Since she wrote it, it might contain the Formations within Huan Yuan Valley. So Yun Nian immediately used her Spiritual Qi to memorize the contents of the Formation book.

Half an hour later, sensing Qi Rou's return, Yun Nian immediately put the Formation book back. Fortunately, she had almost memorized it, so she walked out and pretended nothing had happened, going to sunbathe among the flowers.

When Qi Rou returned, she saw this scene and couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

Yun Nian secretly glanced at her, then asked, "Did my Master come?"

Hearing this, Qi Rou sneered, "Just a bunch of incompetent people, deluding themselves into thinking they can break my Formation. Fine, let them play in this Huan Yuan Valley for a few days. When I'm in a good mood, I'll give them a quick end."

Yun Nian blinked and said nothing more. After Qi Rou entered the pavilion, she closed her eyes, seemingly asleep, but in fact, the contents of that Formation book slowly emerged in her Sea of Consciousness.

Regardless of her previous life or this one, Yun Nian had rarely encountered Formations. In the past, she relied on brute force to break them. Now, in the face of absolute power, she had no choice but to learn on the spot. However, these things were profound and difficult to comprehend. Only by comparing them with the draft she had found earlier did Yun Nian manage to grasp a general idea.

After an unknown amount of time, Yun Nian suddenly felt a pang in her heart and abruptly woke from her focused state.

At that moment, Qi Rou was tending to the Demonic Flowers and Demonic Fruits she had planted. Sensing Yun Nian's condition, she looked in her direction: "What, did you dream that I killed you?"

However, Yun Nian, after waking, seemed not to have heard her words, only staring blankly at the sky.

After that pang of fear, she could clearly feel that the Bone Burying Wolf, which had always been docile within her body, was beginning to stir. And her body had clearly been in a good state; without other reasons, how could such a change suddenly occur?

Seeing Yun Nian in a daze, not replying for a long time, Qi Rou couldn't help but frown and spoke again, "Are you not listening when I speak to you?"

As her words fell, Yun Nian finally snapped back to reality, turned her gaze to meet Qi Rou's, and after a moment of hesitation, said, "I had a nightmare."

Hearing this, Qi Rou narrowed her eyes.

Cultivators rarely dreamt, let alone had nightmares. This Little Girl was clearly lying.

However, she didn't want to know too much, only wishing to send her away as soon as possible, back to Zixiao Sect, to avoid the day Elder Xu Xu's shattering star sword truly unsheathed and pointed at Hehuan Sect.

Destroying a Sect by oneself, if it were anyone else, she would treat it as a joke, but if it were Elder Xu Xu, she would only feel fear.

And this Little Girl probably doesn't even know how powerful the Master she acknowledges is... Yun Nian drifted off for a moment, then sat cross-legged and began to Cultivate.

Qi Rou originally thought Yun Nian was just Cultivating normally, but the next moment, visible Spiritual Qi surged around her. Qi Rou's mouth twitched violently.

She was right here watching. This Little Girl was Breaking Through right in front of her, did she think she, a Demonic Cultivator, didn't exist?

However... she hadn't seen her Cultivate much before, yet now she was Breaking Through just like that. This was truly too strange.

Qi Rou narrowed her eyes, watching Yun Nian even more closely.

The Spiritual power within her body flowed orderly under the operation of her Cultivation Method, step by step converging into her Dantian, condensing and compacting. After a cycle of day and night, when Yun Nian slowly opened her eyes and introspected her body, she had already reached the ninth layer of Qi Condensation.

Breaking Through four stages consecutively.

Inside the pavilion, Qi Rou's gaze towards Yun Nian deepened.
