Chapter 819 The Way to Break the Stalemate 2
Ren Tianning also realized that if their group were to confront the evil god's soul, she would be the cultivator most likely to be targeted by the evil god. So she raised her hand and rubbed her temples, saying:

"Everyone, I am the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Palace. Even if I am targeted by an evil god, I have the power to protect myself."

"Amitabha! We have long heard that the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Palace in the Demon Realm is a woman of great hidden talents. It is our good fortune to have the opportunity to witness her abilities."

Master Wuwang smiled and smoothed things over, saying that they couldn't afford to have internal strife now.

Now that things have been discussed, it's time to get down to business. Cao Yi needs to leave the protection of the four-layered formation, so Yun Xi decides to go with him, both to protect him and to observe their surroundings.

After all, the ancient battlefield is vast. Besides the designated battlegrounds for the righteous and evil factions, there are many unknown areas. This is why some cultivators stationed on the ancient battlefield choose to remain there even after their missions are completed.

Unknown areas may be dangerous, but they may also offer opportunities. Too many powerful beings have perished on ancient battlefields. Even a broken artifact can give them a chance to soar to the heavens. If they are lucky, they may even find the inheritance of a powerful being. You should know that a complete inheritance can help them ascend to the immortal realm.

Although everyone knows that the ancient battlefield is dangerous, many cultivators still volunteer to go there. In addition to fighting against the evil cultivators who escaped from the Wuwang Ruins, it is also a kind of training for them, a way to improve their combat power, and a way to obtain supreme opportunities.

Through continuous exploration, some cultivators have drawn maps of the ancient battlefield. Of course, these maps are only limited to the areas they can reach. The areas that have not been explored are still unknown, with large blank spaces. Yunxi suspects that the place they are in now is an unexplored region.

Therefore, they could not be too careful. Moreover, she reasonably deduced that they should be on the territory of the evil cultivators on the battlefield, otherwise the evil cultivators would not have been so confident in sending the ghost cultivators here.

Cao Yi was clearly aware of this as well, so after stepping out of the safe zone, he held a small array plate in his hand and began to explore it little by little.

Standing in the safe zone, Ren Tianning watched the two leave, her light amber eyes darkening once more. Three breaths later, she said to Xun Kun beside her:
"Xun Kun, tell Ran Xi that their soul power has been draining faster since they left the formation."

Upon hearing this, Xun Kun's expression hardened, and he immediately informed Yun Xi telepathically.

Yunxi had already sensed something when she stepped out of the formation. She also told Xunkun that the two of them had the same idea: to determine the structure of the formation by the direction of the flow of soul power. Since the soul power would eventually be used to nourish the evil god's soul threads, it would definitely gather together, which would also make it easier for Cao Yi to find the formation's core.

On the other hand, Yunxi also wanted to see how Ren Tianning would react. She was still somewhat wary of this unfamiliar companion and couldn't fully trust her. Fortunately, the Holy Maiden knew what was important, so Yunxi nodded in the direction of the group to indicate that she understood.

The next moment, she took out the Hong Energy Shield. This time, she held the core metal sphere of the Hong Energy Shield in her hand and opened a light shield with a diameter of two meters, enveloping both her and Cao Yi within it to ensure that their soul power would no longer be lost.

When Ren Tianning saw the sphere in Yunxi's hand, she blinked. After the transparent light shield opened, she saw that the flow of soul power between the two people inside had stopped, which was more effective than the four-fold formation they used.

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi is truly a hidden talent, possessing such a wonderful treasure."

Ren Tianning muttered to himself.

Xun Kun merely glanced at the Holy Maiden without saying anything. Han Baifeng and Hu Yingjun sat cross-legged, each holding something called Moon Yin Stone and cultivating, showing no intention of responding.

Master Wuwang was fiddling with his prayer beads, silently chanting Buddhist scriptures, completely oblivious to Ren Tianning's whispers. Yun Yi, standing nearby, heard but pretended not to, his lips moving as well, chanting in unison, mirroring Wuwang's mannerisms. Ren Tianning finally couldn't hold back any longer; her lips twitched beneath the black veil, feeling utterly isolated.

Cao Yi, who was not far away, stopped and turned to Yun Xi beside him, saying:

"Your Excellency, your isolation shield is very effective. Our soul power has stopped draining, and the detection array plate has stopped reacting."

After speaking, he looked at the empty and desolate ground outside the light barrier. He could sense that there must be an array here, but he just couldn't find any trace of it, and he was getting a little anxious.

They couldn't afford to wait, and waiting for reinforcements was even more unrealistic, because no one knew that they would appear on the ancient battlefield after passing through the black hole, and they didn't even know their exact location. Master Wuwang's judgment might not be accurate either.

However, the consumption of their soul power here is real. Once they have exhausted all their resources, the only thing waiting for them is the depletion of their soul power.

Yunxi guessed Cao Yi's idea. After thinking for a moment, she took out the Soul-Gathering Mirror, probed into it with her divine sense, and pulled out Youming. This guy was very lucky. Because of his profound soul power, he was not devoured by all his soul power as soon as he appeared here. So now his strength has dropped to the Nascent Soul stage, but his soul body is still relatively solid.

Yunxi planned to have him act as a scout, pushing the still somewhat bewildered Youming out of the light barrier, before turning to Cao Yi beside her and saying:

“Keep an eye on the direction in which his soul power is flowing away.”

Cao Yi's eyes lit up, and he quickly made a hand seal, flicking a ball of spiritual energy into the array plate in his hand. The array plate turned around and aimed at You Ming outside the light barrier, and the array plate reacted.

But Youming, who was outside the light barrier, was dumbfounded. He felt that he had just been casting a disdainful glance at the ghost cultivators crowding around him, and the next moment he was back in that terrifying place. His soul power was rapidly draining away. He suddenly lunged towards the direction where Yunxi and Cao Yi were.

"You can't do this to me, let me in."

But as soon as he touched the light barrier, he was thrown away. The next moment, the Buddhist seal in his body lit up, which made his soul power consume even faster. His originally solid figure became fainter.

Yunxi turned around and saw Master Wuwang chant a Buddhist prayer, then nod to her, clearly knowing what she was going to do and fully cooperating.

Yunxi returned the smile, then turned to Youming and said coldly:

“Youming, if you do as we say, you might be able to preserve your soul. But if you continue to act recklessly, you can expect your soul to be scattered and you can also experience what it feels like for your Daoist partners after you have drained their soul power.”

You Ming hated Yun Xi to the core, but now he was at her mercy, so he could only lower his eyes to hide his resentment and nod.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do as you command. Please do not abandon me."

Cao Yi's eyes were cold. Don't think he didn't see the hatred in the other person's eyes. The other person was only compromising because he was assessing the situation. Once he left, the other person would definitely retaliate. He originally wanted to let him go, but now it seemed unnecessary.
