Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 205 Dark Chamber Formation
The three elders of the Xiao family looked rather grim, and one of them, a late-stage Golden Core elder, immediately stepped forward to retort:

"Don't make baseless accusations. I would also say that the younger generation of the Xiao family said these things under your coercion. You have no evidence whatsoever. Why are you falsely accusing our Xiao family of colluding with evil cultivators?"

"Yes! Just based on one sentence?"

Wei Chenyin stood suspended in mid-air, calmly letting her voice continue to travel:
"Patriarch Xiao, do you know that Xiao He wants to extract my nephew's spiritual root for your use?"

"You were once a Nascent Soul True Lord, you should know better than I, a Golden Core True Person, that this is an evil technique, intolerable to the Heavenly Dao. Even if you succeed, you can forget about ascending to the Spirit Realm in this lifetime!"

"Shut up!"

A figure appeared at the scene of the standoff; it was Xiao He, his eyes wide with anger.

Just now, the conversation within the recording jade was transmitted word for word to the secluded cultivation room, catching even Xiao He, who had activated the isolation array, completely off guard. Xiao Ye looked at his son in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice:
"Is what she said true?"

"Father."

Xiao Ye said sternly:
"Tell me if it's true?"

"Father, all I want is for you to live."

"There were ways to keep me alive, but you chose the most vicious one. Where do you put me? Where do you put the lives of others?"

Xiao Ye truly never expected that his son would go to such lengths for him. He then coughed up a mouthful of blood and completely fainted.

Xiao He stepped forward and discovered that his father's spiritual root had completely dissolved. He knew that the time was ripe to plant a spiritual root, so he took his father out of the jade tub and placed him on the array that had been inscribed in the secluded room. He then activated the array by performing a hand seal.

The moment the formation was activated, Cao Yi, who had been waiting for the right moment, immediately detected the traces of the formation's fluctuations and then used the compass in his hand to find the other end of the formation.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ye, who was in seclusion, also woke up. He felt streams of life force flowing into his body through the array beneath him, and the place where his spiritual root had been melting and causing a dull ache became warm and comfortable.

"stop!"

Xiao Ye gave a cold shout.

But Xiao He remained unmoved; he gritted his teeth and said:

"Father, just hang in there a little longer, it will be over soon."

"Your actions have already been discovered. So what if I regain my spiritual roots?"

Xiao He roared somewhat hysterically:

"Once you have spiritual roots, your cultivation will not regress. You can even cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage and protect me and my sister!"

They have no evidence, yet they accuse the Xiao family of colluding with evil cultivators based on just a few words. There's no way they can convict us. As long as they can't find Wei Lingkai, they're just making trouble for no reason.

"He'er, you're so foolish!"

Xiao Ye felt that his son had gone mad, and even after going this far, he was still unwilling to give up. He could only try to straighten up and break free from the formation that was supplying him with life force.

Just then, the array beneath him flickered twice and finally stopped operating.

Xiao He's expression changed drastically, and he muttered to himself:

"How can this be?"

The formation stopped working, which must mean there was a problem on Wei Lingkai's side. Xiao He quickly rushed out of the secluded cultivation room.

Xiao He overheard Wei Chenyin's words after he went out. Feeling guilty and angry, he sternly stopped her from continuing, which led to the confrontation earlier.

Rewind to after Yunxi and Wei Chenyin parted ways. Yunxi and Cao Yi, led by Dian Dian, tracked Wei Lingkai's scent and made their way to the last place he had been.

Wei Chenyin's task is to use Xiao Lei as a hostage to negotiate with the Xiao family, preferably to provoke Xiao He out, and then make the situation as big as possible to buy them time to find Wei Lingkai.

Lin Keyang and Zhang Lingrui remained hidden in the shadows, preparing for any desperate actions by the Xiao family and providing support to Yun Xi and Cao Yi as needed. Since advancing to the second tier, Diandian had received the bloodline inheritance of the Treasure-Seeking Rat, further enhancing its sense of smell. After navigating the winding paths of the Xiao family compound, it stopped in front of a courtyard.

“Master, this is the last place where Uncle’s scent was last seen.”

Upon seeing the restriction, Yunxi stepped back, handing the main stage over to Cao Yi.

Cao Yi cast a spell to test the strength of the restriction, then began to set up an array. He used the array to break a gap in the restriction, and the two of them rushed in in a flash, leaving the Xiao family disciples who came after hearing the commotion empty-handed.

After entering the restricted area, Dian Dian took the lead and rushed into the room where Xiao He usually cultivated. She then began circling the room and transmitted her voice to Yun Xi:
“Master, Dian Dian is very sure that Uncle stayed here, and then the scent disappeared.”

Are you sure he didn't leave this room?

"No."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi immediately released her divine sense and began searching every corner of the room, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

Cao Yi also released his divine sense to search, but neither of them found anything.

Yunxi said, unwilling to give up:

"There must be a dark room-like place here."

"But my divine sense couldn't detect anything."

Cao Yi released his divine sense again, but still found nothing. Just then, the compass in his hand stirred and pointed clearly to a wall in the room.

“Fellow Daoist Wei, no matter where he hid the person, there is indeed a hidden room here, and there should be an array set up inside. The array has been activated and is transmitting some kind of energy. We had better hurry.”

Upon hearing this, Yunxi immediately recalled the last chapter she read before transmigrating, in which Sheng Yuhong activated the formation beneath the female supporting character's feet. She could already guess what kind of formation it was.

She then looked at the wall Cao Yi pointed to and touched it. Her eyes lit up. She had seen this kind of stone slab before. Her mother had used a stone slab that could block divine sense as a disguise to successfully avoid her scumbag father's looting of her personal medicine garden in her cultivation room.

Because their divine senses were isolated, neither of them detected anything after scanning with their divine senses. She immediately turned to Cao Yi and said:
“Senior Brother Cao, this is a mineral that isolates divine sense. If he hadn’t activated the formation, we wouldn’t have been able to detect it.”

"Then let's get started quickly."

Cao Yi also felt a sense of urgency.

Without saying a word, Yunxi gripped the Seven Star Deadly Staff with one hand and, driven by her icy spiritual power, pierced through the stone slab that isolated divine sense.

A doorway appeared in the wall, just wide enough for one person to pass through. She raised her hand and cast a wind-based detection spell, then said with eyes wide with fury:

"Found him, it's my uncle, quick!"

After saying that, he flashed inside.

Seeing that Yunxi's expression was off, Cao Yi followed her in.

Looking at Wei Lingkai, who was trapped in the formation, with half of his hair already white and his face ashen, Yunxi felt as if she were seeing her future self. The Seven Star Deadly Staff she was holding suddenly surged in power, and the staff was crackling with lightning.

Cao Yi sensed a change in his junior sister's aura, but he still spoke up:

"Junior Sister Wei, don't be impulsive. If you forcefully break the formation, you will hurt your uncle."

Despite her rage, Yunxi forcefully suppressed her burning anger, barely managing to squeeze out a sentence through clenched teeth:

"Senior Brother Cao, please break the formation first."

"it is good."

Cao Yi agreed without hesitation and immediately began to set up the formation. His method was simple: use another formation to attack the existing formation, forcibly stopping its operation. And he succeeded.
