Chapter 1076 Within the Secret Realm 3
Since setting foot on the island, Yunxi had felt like she was being watched, but her divine sense did not detect any living creatures. It was as if the entire island consisted only of half-dead vegetation, sand, and reefs, and only they were alive.

Yunxi said to the Luo family disciples behind her:

"We'll split into groups of six to investigate. If we find anything unusual, we'll send a signal. I'll be in one group."

"Yes."

The Luo family disciples quickly formed teams and then split into three groups—left, center, and right—to explore different directions of the island. Only Yunxi remained in place, placing her palm on the ground and using the power of the Earth Spirit Orb to begin exploring the part of the island submerged by seawater.

A moment later, Yunxi suddenly stood up, her gaze turning cold as she looked at the ground. She had indeed guessed correctly; there was something fishy going on here. The Feng family was truly courting death, actually joining forces with the evil immortal to not only trick the Luo family disciples but also sacrifice their own. They were truly ruthless.

Just then, three explosions rang out simultaneously in the sky above the island. The distress signal from the Luo family disciples had already reached mid-air. Yunxi flashed to the middle and saw the Luo family disciples entangled with thick brown vines.

But they were clearly no match for them. Some of the Luo family disciples had already been entangled by the vines and dragged into the ground, leaving only a sand pit on the ground.

A brown vine had already reached Yunxi's feet, instantly wrapping around her ankle. Fortunately, her protective aura remained activated, and the thorns on the vine failed to pierce her skin. She immediately raised her voice:
"Don't resist, maintain your protective aura, and don't let the thorns on the vines get into your bodies."

Luo Yi'an felt slightly relieved when he saw Yun Xi appear, but he still gripped his sword and thrust it at the brown vines. The sword energy sparked a flame as it struck the thorns, but it only temporarily slowed down the vines' wrapping speed. Now, after hearing Yun Xi's words, he immediately redirected his immortal energy to replenish the protective aura that had cracked after being struck by the vines.

The next instant, the Luo family disciples saw that Clan Sister Yueyun was dragged into the ground after her ankles were entangled by vines. They also gave up resisting and were dragged into the ground along with the force of the vines. However, this time they all increased the thickness of their protective shields and were determined not to let the sharp thorns pierce their skin.

Yunxi felt herself being dragged vertically into the depths of the earth. About fifteen minutes later, she was separated from the sand and gravel layer and entered a hollow cave. She was dragged by vines and attached to a piece of brown bark. The vines wrapped around her and fixed her to the surface of the bark, making her unable to move.

The vine that bound her reappeared before her eyes. This time, she saw a small white flower bloom at the top of the vine. The flower swayed in front of Yunxi's eyes, as if sizing her up, before quickly closing up and turning into a sharp thorn that pierced her heart.

Yunxi wanted to use the Xuanlei Purple Flame to burn the vine, but the Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame residing in her body reacted first. The moment the spike came, it formed an ice flame ring on Yunxi's chest, fixing the spike in the ring and giving the illusion that she had been stabbed in the chest.

As the vines slowly fell, the little flower bloomed again in Yunxi's heart. However, if one were to examine it with divine sense, one would find that the little white flower had lost its vitality. It was only because of the burning of the Taixu Heaven's ice flames that it was kept in its most vibrant state.

The brown vines binding Yunxi all suffered the same fate; the icy blue flames had already disappeared into the vines, leaving Yunxi in the same state as the other affected disciples. However, Yunxi's crisis was over, while the Luo family disciples who had entered with her were in danger. They were struggling against the vines that were about to pierce their hearts, constantly strengthening their protective aura. Some Luo family disciples had already thrown out talismans, shattering the vines targeting them, and then desperately tearing at the vines binding them.

Some Luo family disciples summoned strange fire in an attempt to burn the vines, but as the strange fire burned, the vines tightened even more and showed no sign of breaking. Realizing something was wrong, they immediately withdrew the strange fire and began to try other methods.

Yunxi's divine sense rapidly expanded throughout the entire cave, allowing her to see the entire cavern clearly. The hollow space inside the cavern seemed to be specially isolated, with a huge brown root pillar supporting the space above and below.

The pillar was at least fifty meters in diameter, and it must have been the root system of vines. Countless brown vines, as thick as a baby's arm, were wrapped around it, and it was these vines that had pulled them into the ground.

Then she saw that more than thirty disciples of the Feng family had been bound to a huge pillar by brown vines, each with a blooming white flower stuck in their chest. Some of the petals of the white flowers had turned red. Most of the Feng family disciples had lost consciousness and their faces had turned pale. Obviously, the white flowers stuck in their chests were absorbing their essence and immortal energy.

Meanwhile, the ten missing Luo family disciples were gathered in the hollow area, using an array to create a safe space and struggling against the vines that were constantly whipping at the array. They discovered that the remaining Luo family disciples had also been pulled into this place and had experienced the same ordeal as them. They all stared intently at them, including Luo Yuejue.

Luo Yuejue watched the Luo family disciples fighting with the vines, her face filled with anxiety. She discussed with her companions about rushing out of the protective array to help the Luo family disciples. Another Luo family disciple was guarding the center of the array, replacing a magic stone every now and then. Clearly, they were using magic stones to exchange for living space.

After scanning the area with her divine sense, Yunxi returned to the source. Since she had not found the person behind the scenes, she decided to force them to reveal themselves. She then mobilized the Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame to penetrate the huge root pillar behind her. She refused to believe that these vines could continue to wreak havoc after damaging the roots.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Luo family disciples felt the pressure decrease dramatically, and at the same time received a telepathic message from Yun Xi:
"Keep things as they are and don't break free from the vines for now. I'm waiting for the person behind the scenes to show up."

The Luo family disciple recognized Yueyun's voice, so he pretended to be exhausted and unable to fight back, letting the little white flower pierce his chest. Then he slowly closed his eyes, and after about half an hour, the entire cave fell silent again.

The vines attacking the formation gradually calmed down, as if they had received an order and stopped attacking, giving Luo Yuejue and the others a chance to catch their breath.

Luo Yuejue did not let her guard down. This had happened before, but the vines had stopped attacking them in order to rush out of the cave and drag more people in. This time was a little different, but she still dared not relax. However, she felt anxious looking at her kinsmen with white flowers stuck in their chests.

She was dragged here with the Feng family disciples, so she knew very well the danger of the white flower piercing her chest. It meant they had already lost half their lives, and once the white flower turned completely red, it would be the end of them.

Fortunately, she had spent three months navigating the illusion array, which made her reaction three breaths faster than the Feng family disciples. It was these three breaths that gave her a chance to live. She quickly cut off the vines that were wrapping around her and then used the array to create a space for survival, which allowed her to receive her fellow clansmen who were subsequently pulled into this place.
