It turned out that the tree trunk of the man-eating tree, Zun Bai, contained a lot of oil.
In the dark and humid surroundings, it was nothing, but when it came into contact with fire, it would be terrible. It could be said that it would ignite with just a little fire.
Following the burning of the fire, the man-eating Zun Bai unexpectedly let out a baby-like wail.
The branches that were wrapped around Xin Youxuan loosened automatically.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xin Youxuan hastily picked up the sword on the ground and covered himself with it. Then, he suddenly emerged from the tree house that was constructed with man-eating cypress.
This was enough to cause the Gatemaster of the Infernal Realm, hidden within the secret room, to feel heartache to death.
It had to be known that in order to bring back the four trees from the nameless island in the South Sea to the Carefree Palace in Death Canyon, he had spent a great deal of manpower and resources.
In the blink of an eye, Man-Eater Cypress had been burnt to ashes. Decades of effort had been lost just like that.
Normally, with the Hell sect master's personality, he would fight to the death with this man. But today, he had been injured. Although the Holy Envoy of the Emissary of April had captured Xin Youxuan alive, that had been done by relying on the power of the array formation and catching her off guard.
If he did the same thing today, there might not be anything good to eat.
Thus, Lianyue said, "Master, why don't you activate the newly set up Return Formation and confine this kid in the Death Canyon, forever preventing him from leaving?"
How could he forget about this matter? This formation was originally set up to prevent the people from Xiao Yao Palace from escaping, and it had never been used before. Today, he would display the might of this formation and avenge his Sect Leader's' General Residence '.
The secret location of the Hell's Gate Sovereign right now was the main mechanism room of Xiao Yao Palace. Although he was in a lower secret room, he could still see the situation outside through the light of this mirror.
Xin Ran had packed up and was about to leave.
She immediately used her life to move the control handles of the mechanism room.
At this time, they saw the path of Carefree Palace suddenly become messy. Some of the paths were originally roads, but now they were blocked by mountain mist, revealing a winding path that led to unknown destinations.
It was originally noon and the sun was shining brightly. At this moment, a white mist rose out of nowhere.
As the white mist spread, one could no longer see one's hand in front of one's eyes, and could no longer see anything.
Xin Youxuan wasn't familiar with the roads here to begin with, but now that the scenery had changed, she could only rely on her memories to walk outwards.
After walking for about an hour, Xin Xiaoyuan found that he had returned to the place where he had first set out.
Xin Youxuan was afraid of getting lost. Every few steps she took, she would leave behind a mark. And the place he was at right now was the very first sign he had left behind.
The wonder of the Infernal Realm's Doyen was that he would once again use the Death Canyon's complex geographical environment to set up a formation, and then fuse it with a special formation.
Even if someone skilled in formations knew how to enter through the Gate of Life, they would still find the Gate of Life if they didn't understand the environment here.
It was a good thing that Xin Xiaoyuan had been in danger many times before. Even though he was in a difficult situation, he didn't panic. He thought that there was no other way since he had just jumped off the left side of the road.
He had left a mark along the way. At this moment, however, what was disappointing was that as he walked, he still turned back to his original spot.
Xin Youxuan also knew a bit about the strange things that were happening, but the Hell sect master's array formation was very strange. It was very different from the array formation in the Central Plains martial arts forest; he wouldn't be able to figure it out in a short period of time.
Instead of walking around like this and wasting energy, she might as well do something small and take a rest, thinking carefully about what to do.
Both sides were in a deadlock. The Hell's Gate Sovereign didn't dare to come out, but Xin Xiaoyuan couldn't find a way out either.
Although it seemed like a draw, it was actually disadvantageous for Xin Youxuan. After staying here for such a long time, even if the Hell's Gate Sovereign didn't deal with him, he would still starve to death.
The Death Canyon was located at the edge of the Great Prairie. As night fell, the stars became bright in the sky.
With her eyes closed and her breathing finished, Xin Youxuan inadvertently raised her head and saw the stars in the sky. She really wanted to shout out, "There is no such thing as a path out of reach."
The reason why this formation was strange was because it was impossible to determine one's position.
Xin Youxuan's plan was to look at the stars and locate where she was.
Originally, this method was often used in navigation.
He didn't expect Xin Youxuan to be able to use it in the canyon today.
The weather outside the barrier was very changeable. If the weather turned bad and he could not see the stars, then he would be in trouble.
Thus, he quickly followed the directions indicated by the stars and identified the Gate of Life in the formation. He then activated his movement technique and dashed out.
By the time the Hell sect master and the others understood and thought about changing the array, it was already too late. Xin Xiaoyuan had already rushed to the entrance of Death Canyon.
Even if he wanted to send people to organize it, it would be too late.
The younger disciple of the Underworld Sect Master, Lunar Scourge, thought of something and said, "Sovereign, look. It was all eldest senior sister's idea. I didn't think that he'd be able to run away so quickly."
He retorted, "Youngest junior sister, are you suspecting that Master is unable to set up a formation? You must know that Master's formation is based on an ancient formation passed down from our Door of Hell, and it's incomparably profound. In my opinion, this brat just stumbled out of the formation by accident."
Han Yue was one of the more kind-hearted sisters. Seeing that the two of them were arguing, she said, "I think everyone should stop arguing and just listen to Master."
Shuyue disapprovingly said, "Shuiyue, you just like to be a peacemaker. If your senior did wrong, then that's wrong. Don't protect her."
As the head of the Underworld Sect sat at the side, listening to their conversation, he felt a little angry in his heart. He thought to himself, "This Little Shuiyue, her usual words are rather pleasing to this sect leader's ears. Why is she so ignorant today? She's really becoming more and more taciturn."
Actually, at this time, Shuiyue also knew that although her words were directed at her eldest senior sister, Lianyue, it had put her master in a bit of an awkward position.
He was prepared to kiss up to his master.
However, this time, she managed to land a slap on her back. The head of the Underworld Sect reprimanded her impatiently, "Yue, among our four fellow disciples, you are young and old. You should respect your senior sisters. You must respect them."
With that, he got up and left.
At this time, the Sect Leader of Hell no longer had the mood to deal with the battle between the two sisters. Instead, he was thinking about how he could complete the task given to him by the Master of the Karas Lake.
