Swish swish swish!

After Yun Xiao's words fell, You He finally understood what this was all about; despite all his calculations, he ultimately fell into the trap set by that human kid.

Thus, in the next moment, with a surge of fury, You He had no more words to waste. His entire body transformed into flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, it morphed into beams of water, shooting towards Yun Xiao.

Though You He, a high-level Silver-grade Heavenly Spirit, had drawn almost all the power from his true form, such strength was still far beyond the imagination of ordinary human cultivators.

As countless water beams extended towards him, Yun Xiao's expression turned exceedingly grave, for this had already surpassed the limits he could contend with. What came next might just be a struggle for survival.

"Xiao Wu, can you still hold on?"

At this life-and-death moment, Yun Xiao knew his last trump card was to rely on the power of the Golden Snake Worm, Xiao Wu, so he directly asked from the depths of his heart.

"Why so much nonsense? It's you who should be ready!"

No one expected that after Yun Xiao's words fell, Xiao Wu suddenly became somewhat irritable, and this tone of speech made Yun Xiao's heart skip a beat.

"If it's really not feasible, let's just avoid the edge for now!"

Yun Xiao slightly frowned, as he had come to understand certain aspects of Xiao Wu's personality quite well after so many years together.

If Xiao Wu were truly at his peak, he might not have said such words at all, and would rather have mocked Yun Xiao a few times. Yet now, he had no spare words and was ready to lend Yun Xiao his power directly, which was evidently unusual.

This indicated that Xiao Wu hadn't recovered much of his strength in the past ten days or so, and if he forcibly urged his power to lend to Yun Xiao, it might be a significant loss to his foundational path.

"I say, why have you become so hesitant? Look at that guy, does he seem like someone who will let you easily escape?"

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed through Xiao Wu's snake eyes, and without giving Yun Xiao a chance to speak, a golden glow flickered, as if some hidden power was about to erupt violently.

Swish!

Yet at that moment, a sound of something slicing through the air suddenly came from behind, and the water beam extending towards Yun Xiao was directly hit into countless water droplets by a graceful figure.

"Ying'er?"

Even with just a glimpse of her back, Yun Xiao knew Hu Ying'er had arrived. He couldn't help but feel delighted, and with a thought, he forcibly suppressed the power of the Golden Snake Worm, Xiao Wu, back down.

"Hehe, Yun Xiao, I'm not too late, am I?"

After dispersing another water beam, Hu Ying'er slightly turned her side face and smiled at Yun Xiao. Hearing that she didn't even call him "big brother," Yun Xiao knew that this probably wasn't the Hu Ying'er he was most familiar with.

Moreover, in Yun Xiao's sensing, Hu Ying'er's aura at this moment was terrifying, almost on par with a high-level Silver-grade Heavenly Spirit, indicating she had activated the other personality of the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body.

Indeed, Hu Ying'er had activated the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body, for she herself was only at the Half-step Heavenly Rank. Although she had the blessing of a special constitution, against a low-level Silver-grade Heavenly Spirit, prolonged battle would still eventually put her at a disadvantage.

Hu Ying'er knew what this plan meant for Yun Xiao, so after she fell into a complete disadvantage, she finally opened her Double Flower Pure Lotus Body and instantly killed the low-level Silver-grade Heavenly Spirit.

However, Hu Ying'er did not concern herself with the few partners who could still hold on, and directly made her way towards the depths of Impermanence Island, arriving at this critical moment to prevent Yun Xiao from doing something reckless.

"Haha, you came just in time. I'll leave that guy to you!"

Suppressing the special energy of Xiao Wu that was about to erupt, Yun Xiao couldn't help but flash a pleased smile. Earlier, he had no choice but to rely on Xiao Wu's power and clearly knew what it meant for Xiao Wu.

Despite often bickering with Xiao Wu, Yun Xiao had long considered him a life-and-death partner, with a status similar to Chi Yan Red Feather.

If he could avoid relying on Xiao Wu's strength, Yun Xiao would not risk the potentially significant danger. Hu Ying'er's arrival had truly relieved his urgent predicament.

"Bastard! Damn it!"

As Yun Xiao was feeling overjoyed, You He became utterly enraged, roaring out when two successive water beam attacks were dispersed by a human woman.

If it had been just another human cultivator like Yun Xiao at the early stage of the Floating Life Realm, You He might not have paid any attention and would have simply crushed them.

But in You He's sensing, this human woman's cultivation was almost equal to his, and there was even a strange aura about her, something he had never encountered in his life.

"Floating Life Realm Peak!"

You He immediately sensed Hu Ying'er's true aura at the moment, which was the peak of the first realm in the human Heavenly Rank, not much inferior to a high-level Silver-grade Heavenly Spirit.

Facing such a formidable human, this avatar of You He dared not claim a sure victory, and he knew all too well that if he were to be held up by this human woman, that strange and bothersome boy might do something he could not accept.

"Yun Xiao, leave this guy to me, you handle your own tasks!"

Hu Ying'er seemed to have recognized that this high-level Silver-grade Heavenly Spirit must be the strongest entity by the Big Lake. A stern look appeared in her eyes, and as soon as her voice fell, she boldly attacked the avatar of You He.

"Reckless!"

Realizing that he must first eliminate this human woman before dealing with that pesky human boy, a rush of adversarial anger surged through You He, prompting a sharp shout from his mouth.

A high-level Silver-grade Heavenly Spirit and a Peak Floating Life Realm human woman with the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body were engaged in fierce battle within moments.

For a while, energy spilled everywhere, water splashed around, quite a spectacle of war was unfolding.

Observing Hu Ying'er in such intense combat without yielding, Yun Xiao finally felt at ease, and his gaze shifted from the battlefield to a location below.

There lay the final Array Point of the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array. So long as he forcefully seals this Array Point, Yun Xiao can establish a special connection among these Sealing Arrays, thus completely dismantling the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array.

Due to previous calculations, Yun Xiao had no reservations at this moment. He believed that no matter how furious You He might become, he probably would not have much power left. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Yun Xiao was even considering that, upon dismantling the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array, he might take advantage of the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit's severely weakened state to permanently kill it beneath the lake on Impermanence Island.

Of course, Yun Xiao did not see the real body of You He hidden beneath the lake; he was merely speculating based on previous life experiences.

Everything must wait until he completely breaks the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array; only then will it truly happen.

Whoosh!

With a flap of Yun Xiao's Thunder Dragon Wings, he swiftly moved towards the final Array Point. Seeing this, the You He avatar battling Hu Ying'er could not help but feel his eyes blazing with rage.

"Boy, how dare you!"

Recognizing the importance of the final Array Point, You He saw Yun Xiao's move and issued a loud shout, but just as he attempted to move and block, a graceful human figure appeared before him.

"Old man, your opponent is me!"

Hu Ying'er lightly moved her wrist, forming a lotus between her hands, and with a soft laugh from her mouth, the lotus leisurely drifted towards You He's avatar.

Though the lotus didn't appear menacing and its speed wasn't fast, once You He sensed the energy within, he immediately changed his prior actions.

After evading this lotus attack, You He's mood worsened significantly, while Yun Xiao began his movements, causing his entire aura to become more violent.

"Get out of my way!"

A roar burst from You He's mouth, and his entire aura shifted dramatically. His form seemed to transform into a stream of water, intent on slipping past Hu Ying'er.

"With me here, you won't get through!"

Seeing this, Hu Ying'er's eyes flashed brilliantly, instantly unleashing the strong personality of this side. Since she promised Yun Xiao she would stop this guy, she resolved to do so with all her might.

Under Hu Ying'er's powerful obstruction, You He ultimately could not break through her defense or disrupt the actions Yun Xiao was about to perform.

With such a powerful ally's assistance, Yun Xiao paid no heed to the sky battle above, seeing his handprints flutter, a stream of blood-red fire burst forth, instantly filling the space before him.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Yun Xiao's wrist moved again, and over a dozen Array Flags were swiftly summoned. As these Array Flags established a unique connection with his Ancestral Vein Fire, a mighty force suppressed down.

The blood-red pillars of light from the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array were forcibly compressed into a small space by Yun Xiao's Ancestral Vein Fire and Array Flags. Seeing the Sealing Array take shape, his expression grew extremely grave.

For Yun Xiao knew that sealing and suppressing the twelve core Array Points was not his final purpose. The Sealing Array he executed wasn't merely to inhibit the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array from absorbing Star Energy.

The next moment would be crucial - whether he could destroy the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array in one stroke depended on this final measure, and Yun Xiao knew that with his current Meridian Qi Cultivation, executing such means might yield some unexpected outcomes.

Only that, given the situation, Yun Xiao certainly wouldn't back out now. He came to this Strange Spirit base camp with the sole purpose of dismantling the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array!

At this moment, he proceeds without hesitation!
