Sangta's voice was very soft, partly because he was physically weak and partly because he was emotionally downcast. Such a proud and confident person was now so despondent, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

Bai Ruozhu felt a twinge of compassion in her heart, along with a bit of guilt. She hadn't really intended to ignore the situation, especially given that only a few people believed in Sangji. She hadn't expected that her brief hesitation would push Sangta to such desperation.

He had shown her kindness and loyalty; she really shouldn't have forced him to plead.

"Let's go, we must make a trip to the Barbarian Tribe, we can't just let Honglian be resurrected like this," Bai Ruozhu said.

Sangta's face lit up with a smile, one of genuine gratitude. Jiang Yichun's figure flashed, blocking his view with a displeased glare—why was this guy smiling at his wife like that? And with such an irritating grin.

Ao Song blinked nearby, "Oh, she seems to have discovered something!"

With Bai Ruozhu giving the word, everyone mounted their horses again to head to the Barbarian Clan's camp. Mo Beishan glanced at the mute girl and said, "Bringing her along is a burden. Shouldn't we just finish her off?"

"Don't kill her!" Sangta suddenly spoke up, with a look of pity in his eyes, "She's also a pitiful person, just following Sangji's orders. She brought me food every day without killing me. She's been deceived by Sangji all her life; we should set her free."

The mute girl was unable to move due to her acupuncture points being sealed, but she could hear Sangta's words. She looked at him in disbelief; she thought Sangta would be the first to want her dead.

Bai Ruozhu also looked at Sangta in astonishment. He had changed a lot; in the past, he would kill without blinking and lacked such compassion.

"Alright, let's go. When the acupuncture points are unsealed, she can leave on her own. But if she returns to Sangji's side to commit evil, we will show no mercy next time," Bai Ruozhu said.

Bai Ruozhu mounted Xiaohei, while others either mounted their beast pets or climbed onto their horses. The Princess's father took Sangta along, and they all headed towards the Barbarian Tribe.

Upon arriving, Bai Ruozhu understood what it meant for blood to flow like rivers and realized why Le You and Yingwei had been constantly weeping. Barbarian men were tough and rarely shed tears.

At the center of each tent, Sangji's tent had already been destroyed by the power converged by Honglian. It revealed the blood-sucking monster, Honglian, who was savoring the blood continuously fed by the array, her snake-like body writhing and her tail lightly slapping the ground.

Beside her, Sangji gazed at her tenderly, as if he couldn't see the dead or the blood, but only that woman who was like a monster.

Jiang Yichun's eyes shot out a cold light. He had previously fallen into the Barbarian Clan's weird evil technique, and seeing a similar scene again, the evil energy inside him was aroused.

"Achun!" Gao Zhou reacted quickly, immediately pressing his shoulder, "Think of your wife and child, don't act rashly!"

Jiang Yichun's eyes were already red. Hearing his father's words, his body shuddered, and the crimson faded from his eyes.

"I told you we should have stopped him earlier. Look how many people he's harmed now!" Ao Song stomped her foot angrily.

Many people from the Barbarian Tribe noticed the situation. Some rushed in to rescue, only to be caught by the blood array themselves. Eventually, many realized the danger and scattered away, fleeing the tribe.

"What should we do now? We can't just rush in carelessly, can we?" Bai Ruozhu, not clear about this evil technique, looked towards Ao Song for help.

"I've exhausted too much essence; I can't break it," Ao Song said dejectedly.

Jiang Yichun squinted his eyes and turned to the people of Dujin, "Bring me the bow!"

Someone hurriedly handed the fierce bow to Jiang Yichun. Jiang Yichun drew the bow and shot an arrow, infused with inner strength, towards Honglian at the center of the array.

Sangji squinted his eyes, his body flashed in front of Honglian, forming seals with his hands to block the arrow.

Jiang Yichun didn't stop, quickly drawing three more arrows and shooting them at Honglian.

The others, seeing it worked, also grabbed bows and started shooting into the array, but their inner strength was not as powerful as Jiang Yichun's, and thus less effective.

"Are you rebelling against me?" Sangji shouted with a dark face, and he chanted a spell. The blood underground flew up, transforming into blood arrows, shooting towards Jiang Yichun and the others.

"Be careful, getting hit will draw you into the blood array...," Ao Song hurriedly shouted, but unfortunately, before she finished, someone got hit by a blood arrow and fell to the ground, starting to be drained by the blood array.

Bai Ruozhu, seeing someone trying to pull the one hit by the blood arrow, hurriedly shouted, "Don't touch him, only breaking the blood array can save people, everyone conserve your strength, don't let more people fall into the blood array!"

Everyone had more faith in her now, and those who were about to step forward hastily retreated. But seeing their compatriots screaming in agony within the blood array made their hearts bleed.

"You want to fight me? I'll send you to Hell!" Sangji finished speaking and started chanting a spell, seemingly brewing a terrifying magic technique with an extraordinarily long incantation.

Jiang Yichun squinted his eyes, gathering his inner strength, and shot another arrow at Sangji's forehead. Sangji hastily dodged, and the spell was disrupted.

"Nicely done!" Ao Song couldn't help but praise, then pulled Bai Ruozhu's arm and said, "Sister Bai, now it all depends on you. Our magic comes from the same source, I'll tell you how to break the array. You break the array, and I'll assist you as much as I can."

"But I haven't properly cultivated essence, I'm afraid..." Bai Ruozhu was somewhat unsure; she hadn't been in contact with magic techniques for long.

"Try it, I won't believe that a person with the fortune of the rising purple qi doesn't have great luck," Ao Song gritted her teeth and said.

Then she whispered the method of breaking the formation into Bai Ruozhu's ear. Over at Jiang Yichun's side, he also didn't dare to stop, continuously dodging Sangji's counterattacks while shooting arrows at Sangji and Honglian. Seeing this method working, Gao Zhou also joined in with shooting.

Soon, Ao Song finished explaining the method of breaking the array. Bai Ruozhu bit her finger and started drawing in the void. Drawing charms with her own blood was more powerful than with Herbal Medicine but also more damaging to the caster's vitality. However, she could only give it her all now.

Seeing Bai Ruozhu's breakthrough, Sangji's face showed madness, "Honglian, how much longer? I'm afraid they're going to break the array."

Honglian opened her eyes, enjoying herself. Her eyes were like a snake's, yet extremely enchanting.

"Just a little longer, you be careful too," Honglian said, closing her eyes again to continue feeding on blood, while the screams and cries of the Barbarian people in the blood array became even more intense.

Bai Ruozhu didn't have much confidence in herself, but following Ao Song's instructions, she unknowingly entered a mystical state where she couldn't hear the surrounding noises or see the surroundings, her eyes only on the Array Eye and the Breaking Formation Diagram she was drawing.

Her essence gradually merged into the Breaking Formation Diagram, and her inner essence was depleting rapidly. Just when she reached the final stroke, her essence ran out!
