Liru clutched her head, weak as a newborn baby.

There was no way to resist, nor was there any way to resist at all.

The wind was blowing fiercely. No matter how many people were guarding outside the city, they were still unable to withstand the wind.

Liruo's body was really thin and her broken hand was blown to the point of collapse. Xuanyuan Mo tightly protected her and he originally wanted to show mercy, but he found that he was unable to move at all.

"Li Ruo, what I can't get, others can forget about getting. If you still don't love me, then I won't mind destroying you!" Liru couldn't see his face, but his intense sadness and despair made his entire heart tremble.

Had she ever hurt him like this before? But why was it that in her memory, there were no traces of them ever falling in love.

These were the last words that Liru asked himself after being blown away.

"Activate the formation." With that, everyone fell from the heavy storm. With a single glance, it was as if everyone had been blown away. At this moment, only General Li was by their side. The rest had already disappeared.

"Ruo Ruo." Liru spat out a large mouthful of blood. His internal injury had not healed yet, and the wound on his hand was now split open again. There was no longer any storm around him, this place seemed to be a dry desert.

Liru closed her eyes. Her mind was filled with things she couldn't see clearly, and the vibrations made her head feel like it was about to explode.

He wanted to tell Xuanyuan Mo that there was no need to worry, but he could not even open his mouth.

"Chief." General Li was flustered as he rummaged through the medicine in his body. Luckily, his medicine was not completely taken away by the wind; there was still some left.

The sun was scorching the area, and Liru was already falling into a coma. Moreover, he was suffering from a high fever.

Xuanyuan Mo's expression was cold as he continued to carry Li Ruo and walked forward.

His skills were inferior, and he didn't protect Liruo well. He had only been separated for half a month, and Ruo Ruo was already injured like this. He couldn't wait to protect Ruo Ruo with the tip of his heart.

In these past few days, even without saying anything, he could already guess what kind of treatment Li Ru was going through.

Xuanyuan Mo's face was full of hatred. Please be merciful, is this what you meant by 'love'?

It was too cheap.

This grudge today, this grudge today, I, Xuanyuan Mo, swear that I will return it all back to you without a shred of hesitation.

"Xuanyuan Mo, put me down." As if being roasted, Li Ruo regained some of her consciousness. Her head was still dizzy, but she could barely judge the situation in front of her.

"Ruo Ruo, don't talk." His broad shoulders were Liru's support, and his voice seemed to have some comforting magic to it.

Li Ruo smiled, wanting to fall asleep.

"Ruo Ruo. "Don't sleep." Xuanyuan Mo's voice carried a hint of helplessness. Previously, he had received too much praise and was flattered. This made him unavoidably feel proud and proud, feeling that everything was good for him and that he was omnipotent.

But he noticed that he actually couldn't do anything.

"General Li, hold him for me." Liruo's lips were already dry and cracked, and she was currently feeling feverish. If she didn't quickly replenish the water source, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Xuanyuan Mo picked up the dagger from the bowl once again and slashed open his wrist with a loud sound.

Fresh red blood dripped down from Li Li's mouth which had just cracked a few times. Li Mu unconsciously sucked in a mouthful, but General Li could not bear to watch any longer. He turned his head to the side, and Xuanyuan Mo actually revealed a slight smile at this moment.

As long as he could swallow it down, it meant there was still hope.

When it was about time, Xuanyuan Mo straightened up and cut open his robes for a simple bandage.

The deep eyes surveyed the unfamiliar place.

This should be another formation that was activated with mercy. As long as he broke it, he would be able to leave.

When he was young, he was very interested in formations, but his royal father wouldn't allow him to come into contact with them. He said that they were outrageous and that as the children of the royal family, he had to stay away from them.

Thus, Xuanyuan Mo's current memories were all stuck in a book he had secretly read about formations when he was five years old.

It was too long ago, so he couldn't remember clearly.

He vaguely remembered that the book said that the desert array was formed by the inner strength of the people who laid the array. As long as they found an opening, not only would they be able to leave, the people who laid the array would also be severely injured.

Xuanyuan Mo observed carefully. The vast desert was like a desolate clearing, but a human figure could be vaguely seen. After a long while, Xuanyuan Mo finally broke out into a smile.

It attacked the neck of the seemingly human in the sky.

The neck was one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body.

Therefore, when he stabbed the dagger into the desert's neck, the entire desert suddenly turned into an oasis.

Spring was shining beneath his feet. Xuanyuan Mo took Li Ruo from General Li's arms and headed towards a hole that only had enough space for one person to pass through.

Li Ruo was still in a daze and had yet to wake up. It was hard to predict where the others were blown to, nor where the cave entrance led to.

However, this was the only intersection …

The cave entrance was very narrow, and the deeper they went, the wider it became. There were even bright lights inside.

After that, there were many forks in the road,

Xuanyuan Mo slowed down his pace. There were more than ten forks in the road here. Some of the roads were very old, while some of the soil in the holes were still fresh. It was as if they had just been dug up by someone.

"Mistress, let's go this way." At this time, mixed voices suddenly came from inside. Xuanyuan Mo carried Li Ruo and in a flash, he had already disappeared from where he stood with General Li following closely behind.

"Are you sure this is the path to Carefree Palace?" The man's gentle voice sounded in the spacious cave. With some doubts …

"Mistress, don't worry. This little one has already investigated thoroughly, there won't be any mistakes." The man spoke very respectfully, and when he spoke, one could almost feel him bowing.

As he spoke, his figure had already flashed out. Xuanyuan Mo looked over at him as the corner of his mouth twitched. It was a familiar face.

"Mistress, someone just walked past here." The person was also very cautious as he looked at the footprints that had just appeared on the ground. Zhang Xuan frowned.

"There are people here, but they seem to have stopped here." The man in the lead wore embroidered clothes, and anyone with a discerning gaze would be able to discern that the person who came was either rich or noble.

With that, he and his followers began to search the area, but they still couldn't find the person that had arrived.

It was because the footsteps had disappeared into thin air after arriving here. He never turned around, nor did he continue onward.

And then, he saw Li Ruo's fresh blood.

He bent down, picked up a handful of mud stained with blood, and carefully sniffed it.

"This is the blood that just dripped. It's still fresh. The person hasn't gone far yet." The man in the lead looked calm and gentle.

His eyes seemed casual, but in reality, he was looking around with a serious expression.

However, no flaws were found.

"We've been digging this secret passageway for three whole years and we only finished it a few days ago. Logically speaking, no one would come here." He lowered his eyes and carefully analyzed the situation.

Xuanyuan Mo Ruo smiled. This person was smarter than the rumors said. However, his body seemed to be much thinner than before.

"Could it be that they've already been discovered by the people from Xiao Yao Palace?" His eyes flickered as he said something uncertain.

"Mistress, ever since we dug this up, we've been sending out troops to guard this place, and there haven't been any outsiders." The person beside him said that he was doing his duty, and that was the truth.

"Then. Where are the men you sent to guard? "

"This... Not since yesterday afternoon. " The person who came was hesitant.

Hearing this, a trace of displeasure flashed on the warm face of the man in the lead.

"Trash." Xuanyuan Mo tilted his head in thought. When they had entered, they hadn't discovered anyone outside. That was to say, their whereabouts had always been within the control of Carefree Palace.

Perhaps, the men they sent to guard the city had already been taken care of. When they first came in, the other party had already fully understood their intentions. Thus, they let them in intentionally so that they could finish them off in one fell swoop.

It was something that could be done with mercy.

"Our whereabouts have definitely been discovered by the people from Xiao Yao Palace."

Suddenly, a large amount of black smoke came into the cave from outside as if to verify his words. His face changed.

"Not good." He then turned around and quickly instructed everyone, "Retreat."

"Mistress, it took us so long to find this place. How can we leave now?"

"There are still mountains to be found, and we're not afraid of burning firewood. You're still thinking about the construction of this secret passageway at this time." "White rice, how did you fail to improve so much?" The gentle man seemed to be disappointed. He raised his hand and knocked on the head of the person who spoke.

"Mistress, why did you hit me again? I'm already very stupid." Xuanyuan Mo was amused by his somewhat cute expression.

He didn't seem to understand where this person found such an adorable follower.

Following that, his figure flashed as he nimbly followed the youth.

There were many forks in the secret passageway, and if he wasn't careful he would get lost. Meanwhile, Liruo's injuries had to be dealt with as soon as possible, and he didn't have the time to waste any more time.

Since this person was the one to build the secret passageway, it was definitely correct to follow him.

The thick smoke assaulted them and seemed to be mixed with some sort of smoke. The people in the alleyway were all beginning to feel drowsy, and their legs were swaying from side to side, as if they would fall down if they were careless.

The crowd could not see what was happening, so they could not leave. Those with weaker constitutions fell to the ground and never got up again.

Xuanyuan Mo quickly tore off her clothes and slit her wrist to use blood to corrode it. After that, he completely covered Liruo's mouth and nose.

Only then was he able to walk forward with a sense of relief.

The original route they had taken had been completely disrupted. It was as if everyone was shuttling back and forth in a sealed space.

"White Mi, where is the route you're talking about?" The man covered his mouth with his hand as he growled fiercely. The gentle image from before had completely disappeared, leaving behind only irritation.

"Mistress, I can't see." The man who was called "White Mi" kept coughing with a sullen face.

Xuanyuan Mo was helpless. After sizing up the surroundings, he could only open his mouth to speak.

"Is it the one on the right?"
