"I really envy you, Qingjue. You get to rest for three days again."

The guard shook his head, his face full of envy.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan's expression became even more puzzled.

"Yeah, I didn't expect you to find it first this time."

Another guard spoke up at the right moment, but immediately a look of unconcealed seriousness appeared on her face.

"But the Holy Maiden..."

When the topic of the Holy Maiden came up, both women became somber, and an invisible heaviness spread through them.

Listening to their conversation, Xiao Fan immediately had a feeling that he had grasped the key information!

"The saintess, she..."

Not knowing much, Xiao Fan could only cautiously try to find out information from the sidelines.

"There's no other way. After all, my mother-in-law said that the Holy Maiden's essence has been damaged, and it's not so easy for her to recover."

"Yes."

The two men's words immediately gave Xiao Fan crucial information.

"Is there any possibility that the saintess could recover...?"

Xiao Fan carefully considered his words before speaking.

Hearing Xiao Fan's question, the two exchanged a glance, then sighed before slowly saying:

"It's not that simple."

"Those Devouring Spirit Clan guys really went all out last time!"

"The Holy Maiden became like this to save us. Her essence was damaged, her fighting spirit was depleted, and her meridians were ruptured. Even when Granny and Senior Tianchi intervened, they could only temporarily preserve her consciousness. Every half month, she suffers a tearing apart, and her consciousness reverts to that of her childhood. It's truly..."

"The soul is torn apart again every half month?"

As Xiao Fan listened to their conversation, Ding You's pale face involuntarily came to mind.

No wonder!

The other party always looked sickly. When Xiao Fan first came into contact with the other party, he only felt that the other party's soul power was a bit strange. He never expected that the other party was seriously injured and had not yet recovered.

"Alright, Qingjue, you can rest here for the next three days. Although the Holy Maiden is not in good condition right now, we still have to obey her orders. The same goes for the sisters who found the Holy Maiden before. It's only three days. Just focus on your cultivation."

"Consider it a holiday!"

The two girls spoke to Xiao Fan.

Hearing their conversation, Xiao Fan suddenly realized what was going on.

So, Ding You's condition has been going on for some time now...

No wonder the other guards seemed unsurprised when they heard Ding You come up with such a lame excuse to send him to solitary confinement.

This has happened several times already.

Even though she was trapped in the cycle of reincarnation each time, Ding You remained incredibly kind-hearted, only wanting "Qing Jue" and the others to experience what it was like to be locked up like she did.

Worried that too long would affect their cultivation, they only allowed them to stay in confinement for three days...

"It seems that closing this gate is absolutely necessary!"

Looking at the courtyard in front of him, Xiao Fan was no longer flustered. He needed to figure out the connection between this environment and the Moon Goddess Trial.

It's just a pity that last time I deliberately threw myself to my death, so I had no idea what happened afterward. This time, I can't act rashly.

After all, the number of times this dragon pearl can be used is limited, and it would be bad to waste the opportunity.

Inside the confinement room, as Xiao Fan stepped inside, an array rose up, and Xiao Fan completely lost all sense of the outside world.

.............

Three days later!

As the sealed period ended and the formation shattered, Xiao Fan perceived that the outside world was still as chaotic as before.

"Hurry! The former deputy city lord is a traitor, the city gates have fallen, everyone must provide immediate support!"

Hearing the chaotic sounds of fighting outside, Xiao Fan did not rush out this time. Concealing his presence, he hurried back to the courtyard he had been in before.

Still in the familiar courtyard, in Xiao Fan's view, the remaining dozen or so Spirit Clan guards protected Ding You in the very center.

Outside the courtyard, dozens of powerful enemies clad in black armor surrounded them.

The leader was none other than the man who had killed Xiao Fan last time.

Surrounded by a group of Spirit Clan guards, Ding You was pale-faced, her forehead covered in cold sweat, her eyes closed, being held in the arms of a guard.

He had clearly fallen into a coma.

"Hmph! The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan is now as lowly and pitiful as a dog, only able to hide behind a bunch of ants."

The middle-aged man looked at Ding You, who was being protected by the crowd, and a mocking look appeared in his eyes.

So what if she's a Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan?

Now aren't we just meat on his chopping block?

As for the guards protecting Ding You in the center, the middle-aged man didn't care. They were just a bunch of women. The warriors of the Devouring Spirit Clan could easily tear them apart!

"Fuck me!"

The middle-aged man naturally understood the saying "the longer the night, the more things may go wrong." With a wave of his hand, dozens of men in black behind him swarmed forward and attacked the location where Ding You and the others were.

"Formation!"

Beside Ding You, a beautiful woman had a pale face and bloodstains that had not yet been wiped from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing how decisive and efficient the middle-aged man was, she could only force herself to stay upright and grip the long sword tightly in her hand.

Upon hearing her voice, the group of Spirit Clan guards familiarly stood around Ding You, their dazzling battle aura emanating from their bodies, layer upon layer, and then forming a huge array around them.

With the combined efforts of numerous guards, a massive protective array enveloped them, shielding them from the attacks of the group of men in black.

"Sisters, hold on! As long as we stall this, once Mother-in-law has dealt with the rebellion, she'll naturally be free to deal with it. No matter what, we must protect the Holy Maiden!"

The middle-aged beauty continuously channeled her battle qi into the formation, while also cheering on the surrounding spirit guards.

Upon hearing the beautiful woman's reply, the guards all showed a hint of excitement on their faces.

After all, they knew that as long as their mother-in-law was free, she would come to their aid, and then the danger to the Holy Maiden would be eliminated.

"Once your mother-in-law and the others arrive to help, you're all doomed!"

Among the guards, one of them spoke to the middle-aged man in black, his eyes filled with anger.

"Hahaha, I never thought I'd leave here alive, but I never imagined that the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan would turn into such a little girl. It's truly retribution!"

The middle-aged man listened to the crowd's words and a mocking expression appeared on his face. He then looked at the group of powerful figures beside him and said, "Kill them! Don't stop for a moment. I want to see how long this broken formation can protect them."

"Everyone, go all out! If we can kill this Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan, our mission will be a success!"

"Devouring Spirits Forever!"

The group of men in black who had been attacking suddenly became fanatical upon hearing the words of the middle-aged leader.

Completely disregarding his injuries and cultivation foundation, he unleashed his fighting spirit, reaching its peak.

They then launched a joint attack on the formation formed by the group of female members of the Spirit Clan.

"Break one of my attacks, and everyone will follow my lead!"

The middle-aged man watched as the attacks from the crowd created ripples on the formation, making it teeter on the brink of collapse, but always just a hair's breadth away from breaking through it.

The middle-aged man was also experienced, and immediately spoke, his rich battle qi spreading towards his palm!

A terrifying power gradually surged forth, like an ancient behemoth slowly awakening.

"A dark shadow looms over the sky!"

The middle-aged man in black roared, his fighting spirit gathering in his hands. A massive amount of black energy slowly condensed in front of his chest, and then, under his control, he pushed it out towards the formation in front of him.

The surrounding Devouring Spirit Clan members noticed the man in black's actions.

Without the slightest hesitation, the battle qi within his body converged, and a series of powerful attacks appeared in mid-air, closely following the massive black energy, and fell towards the formation together.

Inside the formation, the women watched the approaching attack, and a look of seriousness appeared on the pale face of the beautiful woman.

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Sisters, hang in there!"

That being said, she also knew that this was probably their limit!

After all, this formation is not omnipotent!

Moreover, the formation currently only has a dozen or so of them gathered together, and everyone is injured, so even she herself cannot unleash her full strength.

On the other hand, the Devouring Spirit Clan had dozens of people, which completely overwhelmed their own side in terms of numbers alone. Moreover, many of them were far stronger than the guards behind them.

Sensing the disparity in both strength and numbers between the two sides, the beautiful woman couldn't help but show a look of despair on her face.

Looking back at Ding You, who was being protected by everyone behind her, despair appeared on her face.
