She was being hunted down, so she became a magical girl.

"Wow, the wind is so strong!"

Huan Guang's face was distorted by the strong wind, and her words were quickly blown away as well.

No one responded to her. Jiang Chenglian was focused on controlling the iron plate beneath their feet, while Xu Ting was busy pressing down her long hair.

Even though Xu Ting tied her hair up, the fragile hair tie still couldn't withstand the strong wind.

I really want to cut this hair!

As Xu Ting used magic to gather her long hair, she gritted her teeth and thought to herself.

Long hair is a major weakness in combat, and there are also techniques to attack by grabbing long hair in close combat.

Most of the female mercenaries in Hezhi City opted for a neat and short hairstyle, while the few who didn't like short hair would tie it up during missions.

Xu Ting wanted to follow suit, but unfortunately she couldn't.

Even if you cut your hair short, it will grow back instantly once you transform into a magical girl.

Even if they are tied up in advance, the magical girl's strong hair will instantly tear apart the hair ties and other bindings, making their hairstyle a fixed style.

When Xu Ting watched cartoons as a child, she thought that the magical girls in the cartoons always had the same hairstyle to save money. She never expected that it was actually documentary literature.

"Xu Ting, there is only one source of magic on the floating island, which is your opponent, Zhan Ye, whom you have dealt with before."

Crow Report.

"The polar day is gone. This is good news for us," Xu Ting said.

"But Zhanye is also a difficult enemy to deal with," the crow said seriously. "Last time you had wooden tokens made by Shaohua, but you don't have them this time."

"What about Miyan?" Xu Ting asked, turning the question to her. "All we need to do is get her away so that Zhanye can't catch up with us."

"If we're lucky, we can achieve our goal without ever touching the 'Slaying Karma' technique."

The crow said in surprise:

"That's exactly what I find strange."

"I didn't find any trace of Miyan on the floating island, but Zhanye and her men were indeed encircling a target..."

"Wait, why did someone suddenly disappear from my senses?"

"Crow, share my vision." Xu Ting felt a sense of despair regarding the crow's intelligence-gathering ability. "If possible, let me try Black Phoenix mode one more time."

"Dark Phoenix mode won't work; I need to conserve my power for dealing with emergencies on the other side," Raven said. "But I can share vision with you."

After saying that, it simultaneously transmitted the floating island scene it had perceived to Xu Ting.

After seeing the scene on the floating island with his own eyes, Xu Ting immediately understood the current situation.

"Zhanye's magic source is so bright that I can't see the scenery around her very clearly."

"The Tianyi Group's troops are gathering at the location where Zhanye is being attacked, and they are disappearing in large numbers there..."

"Is there an entrance that can be shielded from detection? A tunnel?"

"Why is there a dark thing in the lobby on the first floor? Is there a whole roasted lamb scattered on the ground? Zhan Ye's arrest operation is really brutal."

After observing the surroundings, Xu Ting made a guess.

"Crow, do you still remember the temple Jiang Cheng went to practice at?"

"I remember, what's wrong?" the crow replied.

"There was a barrier in the temple that almost made you mistake it. Is it possible that there is a similar barrier here?" Xu Ting said.

The crow remained silent for a moment before disconnecting from Xu Ting's shared view.

It changed its mode of perception and then exclaimed:

"Xu Ting, you're right."

"There really is a similar barrier here."

"Unlike the barrier in the temple that 'only allows magical girls in the Feathering stage to enter,' the barrier here 'only allows those below the Feathering stage to enter.'"

"Zhanye didn't inflict a strong attack like your sister, so the barrier didn't retaliate or cause any fluctuations, which is why I didn't sense it for a while."

A barrier that forbids magical girls in the Feathering Stage and above from entering...

"Illusory Light." Xu Ting used magic to envelop himself and the illusory light, creating a space for normal communication.

"Did Miyan ever mention this floating island to you?"

"This must be Lady Mystery's home, right?" Huan Guang said. "Lady Mystery once casually mentioned that her family owns a floating island."

Xu Ting pressed further, "Did she mention any escape routes from this floating island?"

This barrier was clearly built by Shaohua with the help of Miyan; it was Miyan's last resort to protect her.

However, it will not be an "absolute defensive perimeter" like a bunker. Shao Hua's power is insignificant in front of the Tianyi Group. She does not have the ability to break through the encirclement and rescue Mi Yan from the bunker.

As long as Shaohua is of sound mind, she will leave an exit for Miyan to escape from this barrier.

"I have no recollection of this," Huan Guang said dejectedly after racking her brains for a long time without coming up with anything.

Xu Ting closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and decisively pulled Jiang Chenglian into the group chat within the magic shield:

"Yunyi, move the iron plate towards the bottom of the floating island."

"Huh, why?" Jiang Chenglian was puzzled by the order.

"Because if I were to build an exit, I would build it at the bottom of the floating island—obey my orders. There's no time to explain in detail now," Xu Ting said.

Then she said to the crow:

"Crow, do you have any clue about the location of the exit?"

The crow responded to Xu Ting's request, saying, "The barrier covers the southwest bottom of the floating island; if there's an exit, it's there."

At Xu Ting's command, the three women flew to the location Xu Ting had indicated.

The floating island was now close at hand, casting a heavy shadow over everyone and tinging everything with a somber, inky hue.

Xu Ting opened his eyes wide and scanned every inch of the bottom of the floating island with his naked eye.

"You've entered the barrier's area," the raven warned. "Because you're all in the coloring stage, you haven't triggered the barrier."

In other words, that exit must be right in front of you—

"Is this Senior Shao Hua's barrier?" Jiang Chenglian suddenly looked up and said in surprise.

She immediately took out a golden leaf from her inner clothing. The leaf seemed to sense something and shone with golden light.

"The keepsake of Senior Shaohua is guiding us," she said excitedly.

"Miss Lost in Color, let's hurry in that direction!"

Xu Ting didn't actually see any direction; the token was in Jiang Chenglian's hands, so only she could see it.

"Go ahead." Xu Ting decided to trust Shaohua this time.

The three began to fly along a wavy path and eventually came to rest in front of a large rock.

Jiang Cheng let out a "hey!" and several flying swords given to him by Xu Ting flew out from his waist, slicing the earth and rocks into pieces.

The fragments that detached from the floating island fell downwards for a while before being absorbed into other places.

Where the original rock once stood, a dark hole appeared.

This is the escape route that Xu Ting has been searching for.

The golden leaves faded again. Jiang Chenglian put them away and said to Xu Ting:

"That woman who spread rumors is very likely among them."

Xu Ting nodded and said:

"Hurry up and go in. We must find Mi Yan before the Tianyi Group's pursuers catch her."

Those non-magical girl armed forces are not restricted by the barrier.

This is a life-or-death race against Tianyi Group.
