Han Qingru's cultivation was the weakest, and she stayed closely by Mo Wuji's side. The others didn't dare to slack off either. The Sect Leader had said that his domain only extended three zhang. Once they exceeded that distance, they were sure that the sword qi of the Sword Qi River could easily tear them into nothingness.

The group entered the Sword Qi River with trepidation. When they were completely submerged, they were surprised to find that no sword qi was invading them. They were overjoyed, and the hearts that had been hanging in suspense finally settled down.

The Sword Qi River was not deep. After everyone reached the bottom, Mo Wuji used his immortal essence within his domain to part the surrounding water, and they stood on the hard riverbed.

"What a sword!" At that moment, everyone noticed the long sword stuck in the riverbed.

Upon seeing the sword, everyone understood the reason for the existence of Sword Prison. It turned out it was because of this sword. One could imagine how extraordinary this sword was. If one could obtain this sword, it would definitely be a top-tier magical treasure.

"Everyone, stop looking at it. I can't even take this sword, so don't even think about it. Bai Ye, hurry up and deduce the way out. Our time in the Sword Qi River is limited," Mo Wuji interrupted their greed.

"Yes." Bai Ye also withdrew his greedy gaze and quickly took out the Bagua Compass.

Everyone thought that Mo Wuji said their time was limited because his divine sense was limited and his domain couldn't last long. Little did they know that Mo Wuji said their time was limited because he had a feeling that staying here any longer wouldn't be good. As for the time spent in the Sword Qi River, with his vast sea of consciousness and solid purple qi lake, his domain could last for months without any problems, not to mention he also had a Spirit Storage Meridian.

Bai Ye sat by the Bagua Compass, constantly making hand gestures and chanting incantations.

After half an incense stick of time, the Bagua Compass, which had been motionless, began to emit some faint light. The faint light grew brighter and brighter, gradually moving and converging in one direction.

Mo Wuji's eyes lit up. He could see that Bai Ye's Bagua Compass, in addition to attack, was also an extraordinary auxiliary treasure.

Sure enough, after an hour, all the bright spots converged into a beam, pointing in one direction.

Bai Ye stood up, grabbed the Bagua Compass, and said, "Sect Leader Mo, just follow this direction."

Mo Wuji nodded. "Everyone, follow closely behind me. The sword qi in the Sword Qi River is very strong. Whether you are an Immortal Emperor or not, once you leave my three-zhang range, you are likely to be torn apart by the sword qi."

Mo Wuji suspected that Bai Ye hadn't used any deduction methods earlier. His Bagua Compass had the ability to find exits. When Bai Ye was trapped in his killing formation, he was still able to find a way out in a short period. If he hadn't been quick to change the formation gate of the killing formation again, it was very likely that Bai Ye would have broken through his killing formation.

The reason why Bai Ye was wary of him was because Bai Ye had never gained an advantage in his hands. Once Bai Ye knew that he could break his killing formation, Bai Ye would definitely not be as easy to talk to as he was now. Bai Ye had been trapped in Sword Prison for many years, and his will had been worn away a lot. Once this guy got out, he would quickly regain his confidence.

Mo Wuji walked very quickly, and the others dared not slow down, staying almost within one zhang of Mo Wuji. Even though Mo Wuji said that three zhang was a safe zone, everyone felt that the closer they were to Mo Wuji, the safer they would be.

...

Outside the Gobi Desert where Mo Wuji had set up a protective formation, two sneaky cultivators were constantly looking around. After a while, one of them said, "Kuang Yi, something seems wrong. Before, every time we checked, immortal spiritual energy was being absorbed here, indicating that someone was cultivating inside. Why is there no movement today? Could they have all left?"

The cultivator named Kuang Yi standing beside him also widened his eyes and looked carefully. After a while, he said, "You're probably right. It's very likely they've left."

"Should we attack this protective formation and see?"

"Humph, if those people haven't left, attacking would be courting death, right? Let's go back and tell the master that these people may have left."

As they spoke, the two quickly retreated.

These two were the cultivators who had escaped from Peace Vine Mountain and were driven away by Mo Wuji for their prudence. After leaving the Gobi Desert, they quickly rushed towards the Sword Qi Vortex.

If Mo Wuji were here, he would definitely doubt his eyes. These two guys, who hadn't even cultivated their bodies, actually jumped into the Sword Qi Vortex without hesitation. Were they looking for death?

The two didn't seek death, nor did they fall to the bottom of the Sword Qi Vortex. Instead, they were swept away by a suction force in the middle. The next moment, the two appeared in a cave dwelling.

In the cave dwelling sat a man who was barely better than a skeleton, with a cultivator kneeling beside him.

"Master, that Mo Wuji has run away with his people. There's no one in that protective formation..."

Before the cultivator named Kuang Yi could finish speaking, the skeleton's figure disappeared without a trace. In just a few dozen breaths of time, the skeletal man landed in front of the protective formation set up by Mo Wuji and slapped it down.

"Boom!" Mo Wuji's protective formation was shattered into pieces and disappeared without a trace. Where was there anyone left in the formation?

"What a cunning brat. Trying to escape from me with just a few blood rations is a pipe dream." The skeletal man stretched out his hand, and the sword qi that even Immortal Emperors feared formed an invisible sword qi circle around his palm.

The next moment, the skeletal man stared at the Sword Qi River in shock, muttering to himself in disbelief, "Someone can actually go down the river? And bring so many people with them? What an extraordinary body refining technique..."

The skeletal man rushed to the edge of the Sword Qi River and jumped down without thinking.

The Sword Qi River that could tear flesh and souls seemed to be nothing in front of this skeletal man.

Although he knew that Mo Wuji and the others couldn't leave the Sword Qi River, he was still very angry. Peace Vine Mountain belonged to that old monster, and he didn't dare to touch it. Now, the few ants he had raised in the Gobi Desert dared to escape. At this rate, when would he be able to get out?

Because he knew how wide the Sword Qi River was, he couldn't find Mo Wuji and the others even if they had entered the Sword Qi River. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have raised them freely and would have just caught them in the Sword Qi Vortex.

...

Three hours later, Mo Wuji stopped, because the beam of light indicating the direction on the Bagua Compass in Bai Ye's hand had disappeared.

"Bai Ye, what's going on?" Mo Wuji asked with a frown.

This place was obviously not the exit, because the surroundings here were no different from any other place at the bottom of the Sword Qi River. Underneath were hard rocks, and around them was river water blocked by Mo Wuji's domain.

Bai Ye was also dumbfounded. Hearing Mo Wuji's question, he quickly said, "Sect Leader Mo, let me try again."

After Bai Ye sat down, he activated his Bagua Compass again. A full hour passed, and he couldn't gather a beam of light on his Bagua Compass. No matter how many light spots were generated in the Bagua Compass, they would quickly disappear.

Everyone looked at Bai Ye with suspicion. Bai Ye seemed not to see the suspicion of the people around him. He stretched out one hand and placed it on the Bagua Compass, while the other hand constantly condensed hand gestures.

Mo Wuji stared closely at Bai Ye's hand gestures. He was sure that Bai Ye was not using the Bagua Compass to indicate direction this time, but was really deducing the direction. Bai Ye's hand gestures were profound and complex, and even a sect master like Mo Wuji, who had opened his meridian network, couldn't see the meaning of his hand gestures. He could only feel that Bai Ye's hand gestures contained the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and that each trajectory and vibration carried an unspeakable aura of Dao.

Another two hours passed. When Bai Ye's face was as pale as a sheet of paper, he stopped his hand gestures and opened his eyes. "Sect Leader Mo, this is really the exit."

"Everyone stand behind me. I'll take a look." Mo Wuji felt that Bai Ye was not lying.

After everyone stepped back, Mo Wuji condensed his Spirit Eye.

A subtle spatial transmission pattern appeared before Mo Wuji's eyes. This transmission pattern was profound and complex, containing endless formations and Dao auras.

Mo Wuji was overjoyed. It was indeed like this. Not to mention this exit, just the Great Dao of formations contained in this transmission pattern was enough for him to take a step further in the Dao of formations.

Mo Wuji's Enlightenment Meridian Network operated frantically, constantly deducing this profound transmission pattern.

Seeing that Mo Wuji's figure was not moving, but his Dao aura was fluctuating wildly, no one dared to spy on Mo Wuji with their divine sense at this time. Bai Ye dared not move either.

Several days passed, and Mo Wuji finally let out a long sigh and began to draw formation patterns in the void.

This method of using formation patterns to draw a teleportation array was the first time Mo Wuji had encountered it. He was sure that this method would have extraordinary significance for his future formation Dao.

Several more days passed, and Mo Wuji drew the last formation pattern.

A faint exit appeared in front of everyone, and everyone's eyes were red with excitement. They were trapped in Sword Prison, but there was actually a way out.

Even the Immortal Emperors were excited, and their hearts were beating faster. They had had enough of this torment in Sword Prison. It was one thing that they had no chance to get out before, but now that the opportunity was right in front of them, how could they not be excited?

But no one moved, because Mo Wuji had not spoken yet.

Mo Wuji closed his eyes tightly and did not speak. After drawing this spatial transmission pattern, he felt that his understanding of the Dao of formations had improved again. This announced that he had officially entered the ranks of a Level 7 Immortal Formation Grandmaster.

At this moment, he was organizing his understanding and gains from the spatial formation patterns.

After half an incense stick of time, Mo Wuji opened his eyes, turned to everyone, and said, "This should be the teleportation portal to get out. Wei Zidao, go out first, followed by Nie Chong'an, Cha Rui, Su Zian, Fei Ling, Yu Saijun, Dong Sha, Lu Ming, Hai Zhenkui, Fan Wa, Bai Ye, Jian Mingcheng, Han Qingru, and I'll be last."

Hearing that he could get out, Bai Ye was even more excited. He knew that Mo Wuji's arrangement must have his reasons. Anyway, he didn't plan to cause trouble, and he would leave as soon as he got out. He was afraid of Mo Wuji. If it weren't for this mysterious Sect Leader Mo, let alone entering the Sword Qi River, even if he came in and found this place, he wouldn't be able to open this spatial teleportation gate.
