"Puff!" Seeing Peng Lu had become ashes, Yang Chen spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell back. His face was pale as a white paper. In the earlier move, he had exhausted every ounce of his profound energy as well as mental power. At this moment, he was no different from a normal person.
With a thud, Yang Chen fell heavily onto the ground and fainted. The sea of flames in the surroundings had no effect on his body. On the contrary, the heat in the air seemed to help Yang Chen recover as his complexion slowly became ruddy.
Six kilometers away from Yang Chen's position, Tian Jiuyi and Bai Qingyi noticed the sea of flames in the distance. Both of them exchanged a glance and rushed toward it without hesitation.
During these five days, the two of them had become familiar with each other. At first, Tian Jiuyi was embarrassed after knowing Bai Qingyi was a man and was the third young master of the Bai clan. However, as time passed, their relationship improved significantly, and they became good friends now.
"Have you found something, Brother Tian?" Bai Qingyi asked softly. He had almost fully recovered from the previous injuries, thanks to the man in front of him.
Although Tian Jiuyi's appearance was slightly inferior to Yun Lintian, he had a gentleman temperament that any girl could hardly look away from him. Bai Qingyi was no exception. Not to mention Tian Jiuyi had saved his life. How could he not fascinate by him?
Tian Jiuyi spread his Spiritual Sense out for a while and discovered a man lying on the ground. He then answered. "There's someone over there… He seems to exhaust all of his strength."
Due to his injuries, Bai Qingyi rarely used his Spiritual Sense recently. After hearing Tian Jiuyi's words, he quickly checked out with his Spiritual Sense.
"Yang Chen?" Bai Qingyi exclaimed in surprise.
Tian Jiuyi turned to Bai Qingyi and asked curiously. "You know him, Brother Bai?"
Bai Qingyi nodded. "He's my friend."
Tian Jiuyi turned around and looked at the sea of flames thoughtfully. A moment later, a long bamboo flute appeared in his hand, and he started to play it.
A soft and harmonious melody immediately rang out and the sea of flames in front of the two slowly receded until they vanished altogether.
Bai Qingyi looked at Tian Jiuyi with eyes full of stars. Whenever Tian Jiuyi performed music, his aura would change completely, making Bai Qingyi obsessed.
Tian Jiuyi turned around with a smile and said. "Let's go help your friend."

"You still know a formation?" At the entrance of the abyssal space, Qin Yiran looked with incredible expression at Yun Lintian, who was busied laying a killing formation.
Although she didn't know much about the formation profound art, recognizing its level wasn't difficult for her. Judging by Yun Lintian's proficient movement and the complicated runes on these formation stones, he was undoubtedly a high-level formation master… He is too versatile, right?
If Qin Yiran knew about Yun Lintian's medical skills, her jaws would probably drop onto the ground.
Yun Lintian didn't reply to Qin Yiran as he concentrated his mind on the formation. The formation he chose to deploy this time was known as the "Seven Steps Killing Formation." It was a saint-level formation, the highest level Yun Lintian could do it with his current ability.
The Seven Steps Killing Formation would generate deadly attacks seven times until it exhausted. According to the record, no one under the Monarch Profound Realm could survive until the seventh step.
Yun Lintian didn't know how many Saint Profound Beasts were in there. He could only prepare for the worst. Thankfully, the surveillance formation in this place did not work. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to deceive those old fogeys in the academy.
After laying the last piece of the formation stones, Yun Lintian patted his hands and turned to Qin Yiran. "How many Profound Stones do you have right now?"
Qin Yiran glanced at him and replied. "Not much. Around one hundred thousand… It's all mid-grade."
Yun Lintian nodded his head casually. "Not much indeed."
Qin Yiran was rendered speechless. This was one hundred thousand mid-grade Profound Stone we were talking about. Why did she suddenly feel it was a useless stone when hearing Yun Lintian say?
"Give them to me." Yun Lintian spread his palm toward Qin Yiran like a kid asking his mother for pocket money.
Qin Yiran looked at Yun Lintian for a while and handed them to him. Though she was dissatisfied, she knew what was the first priority right now. If those Heaven Profound Beasts broke out from that place, she believed everyone in this Fallen Dragon Forest would certainly become their food.
Yun Lintian looked at the pile of Profound Stones and nodded with a satisfied smile. He then started to put them into crucial spots of the formation. A while later, Yun Lintian finished his work and began to test its function.
With a buzz, each node of the formation instantly connected together. White light shone brightly around the formation before disappearing as if there was nothing around here.
Yun Lintian touched the formation's eyes and skillfully operated it a few times. After confirming there was no problem, he started to ponder whether to lure all of those profound beasts out.
While Yun Lintian was pondering, a man figure suddenly appeared in the air above him. He looked down at Yun Lintian and Qin Yiran with surprise and said. "So it's you."
His voice immediately startled Yun Lintian and Qin Yiran. Both of them hurriedly took a battle stance and looked at the voice's owner.
"Who are you?" Qin Yiran asked while gripping her sword tightly.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian silently activated Eyes of Heaven and observed the man. A second later, his expression turned solemn as he discovered this person was actually an Abyssal Profound Beast. More precisely, he was the Saint Profound Beast!
"Ah, my rude. Let me introduce myself. My name is Abyssal Devourer. Nice to meet you, lady and gentleman." That was right.. This person was no other than Abyssal Devourer.
