When Xiyu noticed the weird phenomenon on Xiao Ming's body, it instinctively began panicking as it had never witnessed such a situation before. The dark runes flashing on Xiao Ming's body released a strong and repulsive aura that frightened Xiyu and it dared not go too close.
It was probably an immortal by age but it had little intelligence to detect what was going on with Xiao Ming.
It could not go out as well. The array that Xue Mao had skillfully cast barred anyone from entering or leaving at will as behind the concealment was a terrifying illusion.
It didn't have any means to crack this array so it was inexplicably trapped in this situation. Zhou Mei and Xi Muyao had just returned from the sect. They were surprised Xiao Ming had yet to return, but they instinctively thought he was at the Rainbow Fog Mountains.
