"There are about five spiritual beasts hiding above those clouds. They're stalking prey from the sky and will immediately dive at anything that passes beneath them. Judging by their speed, they're roughly equivalent to Nascent Soul cultivators," Tian Zhu analyzed."Should we send a signal to call the others?" one of the group members asked."We'll only send a signal if we encounter spiritual beasts that we can't handle. There are only five of them, so I think we can deal with this ourselves," Feng Wu decided."You Heavenly Origin Realm cultivators, attack the clouds and force them out. Those of us at the Nascent Soul Realm will engage them directly. Look for opportunities to distract them, and keep your distance whenever possible. They're extremely fast."Feng Wu drew the twin sabers strapped across his back. Tian Zhu and the other Nascent Soul cultivator, Liu Kong, also readied their weapons.Once everyone was prepared, the Heavenly Origin Realm cultivators unleashed a volley of atta

In the middle of the battle, thousands of swords of light shot in from a certain direction at incredible speed. Out of those thousands of light swords, only three Horned Wolves were killed, while the rest either dodged or blocked every single attack."Zhi'er is going overboard. She's revealing far too much of her strength," Tian Zhu muttered, realizing that Yun Zhi was the one behind the attack.The reinforcements from the other groups finally arrived. The battle, which had previously been dominated by the Horned Wolves, quickly turned around as they were now outnumbered.From where he stood, Tian Zhu was able to witness Zhen Qiong's mastery over the fire element and spear techniques. His skill was truly remarkable, allowing him to kill four out of more than a dozen wolves.Tian Zhu, on the other hand, did not kill a single one because he had never fought seriously from the beginning."Honey, are you alright?" Yun Zhi hurried over to Tian Zhu."I'm fine. You don't have to worry." Tian

"It looks like this hole leads to a secret underground chamber. There's a chance we'll find even more treasures down there, but there's also a chance we'll face even greater dangers. What do you all think?" Zhen Qiong asked for his companions' opinions before making a decision."We came here to hunt for treasures. We already knew we'd be facing danger, so what's there to hesitate about?""That's right. Facing danger is part of our daily lives. There's nothing to be afraid of!""Senior Zhen, let's go in. It's only natural that the greater the reward, the greater the risk."Everyone in Zhen Qiong's group agreed to enter."Alright then. Since you've all made up your minds, let's go!" Zhen Qiong jumped into the hole, and the others immediately followed.The moment their feet touched the ground, a loud roar echoed through the chamber. It was clearly not the roar of an ordinary four-legged beast covered in fur, as it lacked the deep, thunderous sound such creatures usually made.Yun Zhi imm

"Well done, Tian Zhu!" Zhen Qiong praised him as they managed to put a considerable distance between themselves and the rats.Tian Zhu merely nodded in response.After sprinting for several more minutes, they suddenly came to a halt, having sensed something ominous ahead."Damn it... These spiritual beasts are incredibly persistent when hunting their prey. They might even be the vengeful type," Tian Zhu muttered after realizing that the tremors and squeaking coming from ahead belonged to the crimson rats.The same deafening sounds of countless rats rushing together also echoed from the tunnel behind them—the very path they had just taken."We must have taken the wrong route and wandered into their nest! This way!" Zhen Qiong shouted as he led everyone toward another passage.The rats seemed to know exactly which route they would take, always cutting them off from the front. Fortunately, they still managed to keep running.None of them knew how much time had passed, but it had likely b

Ever since arriving in Qiong Forest, Zhen Qiong had deliberately arranged for Mo Nan to appear so that Tian Zhu would never suspect he was working with the enemy.Everything within these sect ruins had already been prepared by the demonic cultivators. All Zhen Qiong had to do was carry out the plan they had carefully devised—from leading everyone into the underground spiritual beast nest, forcing them to flee from countless crimson rats, exhausting their Qi, and finally trapping them inside this small dimension.This small dimension had existed since ancient times. It was discovered by the sect that once occupied these ruins and had originally been used as a research facility. Now, it had become a prison used by the demonic cultivators to trap their enemies."I'll leave the rest to all of you. Most of my Qi has already been depleted," Zhen Qiong said, intending to let the demonic cultivators slaughter everyone he had brought here.Tian Zhu had already summoned his Martial Soul, prepar
