And Bai Zhi’s caster is a Human King Realm Third Level powerhouse! Could it be...
"Search!"
Xiao Beixuan swiftly put away the compass, murder intent boiling in his eyes.
"Search the entire secret realm for me! Bai Zhi is not dead! She was rescued! The one who saved her must still be in the secret realm! Dig three feet into the ground if you have to, find them for me! Dead or alive!"
"Yes!"
Dozens of martial artists responded in unison, filled with murderous intent, instantly transforming into streaks of flowing light, dispersing in all directions!
Beside Xiao Beixuan, a young man in gray tight clothes with an ordinary appearance but an extremely heavy aura stepped forward and whispered.
"Young Master, the plan... might have changed. Bai Zhi has disappeared, the Evil Spirit Binding Lock has been undone. If she falls into the hands of the Holy Academy..."
This young man seems inconspicuous, but he is actually Xiao Beixuan’s shadow guard and one of Venerable Ming River’s direct disciples!
He is also the backup candidate for the sacrificial array’s array eye this time!
Xiao Beixuan’s eyes revealed a sinister gaze as he coldly said.
"Why panic! All exits of the secret realm have long been sealed by me using a secret technique! Anyone wanting to leave can’t escape my perception! As long as they’re still in the secret realm, they can’t fly away even if they grow wings!"
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the young man beside him, his tone carrying deep implications.
"As for the array eye... it’s not your turn until the last moment. Bai Zhi... she’s the perfect ’vessel’!"
Upon hearing this, the young man’s body stiffened imperceptibly, then he lowered his head, and respectfully said.
"I understand."
On the other side, Gu Sheng, with Gu Yuanyuan, elevated their speed to the extreme, like two gusts of wind, shuttling through the collapsing and shaking secret realm space.
They avoided one after another torn space cracks, bypassed one after another collapsed mountain range, rushing toward the border area where space was relatively stable according to their perception.
Finally, they arrived at the edge of the secret realm.
In front of them was a twisted, blurry void barrier! Beyond the barrier lay deep, chaotic spatial currents!
A powerful and stable force of space law, like an invisible wall, firmly sealed the entire secret realm, preventing anyone from leaving!
"Master! It’s a space barrier! We can’t get out!"
Gu Yuanyuan’s face paled, looking at the twisted void with eyes full of despair.
Gu Sheng’s eyes were heavy, he attempted to blast a thread of True Yuan at the barrier.
The True Yuan vanished like a mud bull entering the sea, not even a ripple was stirred! The space law barrier was incomparably resilient, far beyond imagination!
"Forcing it open would be too conspicuous, it would immediately attract pursuers."
Gu Sheng said in a deep voice.
He attempted to find weak points on the barrier, but the entire barrier was seamless, with no flaws to be found!
At this moment, bursts of sounds of breaking through the air echoed from afar!
Several powerful auras were rapidly approaching their direction!
Clearly, the Wuya Sect martial artists searching had detected their whereabouts!
"Master! They’re coming!"
Gu Yuanyuan’s voice trembled, tightly clutching Gu Sheng’s sleeve.
"What should we do?"
Gu Sheng’s gaze scanned the rapidly approaching figures of the pursuers, then turned to the indestructible space barrier, a decisiveness deep in his eyes!
"Yuanyuan, step back!"
Gu Sheng shouted lowly, shielding Gu Yuanyuan behind him.
The Pocket Heaven Divine Rings within him lit up again! The power of Nirvana Three Profound Changes erupted with a bang!
An unprecedented terrifying aura rose from his body!
The phantom of the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron appeared above his head, the nine divine dragon reliefs on the cauldron body seemed to awaken completely, issuing silent roars!
An origin power capable of suppressing the heavens and melting everything brewed within the cauldron!
Gu Sheng’s hands formed a virtual embrace, as if hugging the universe!
Sublime True Yuan mixed with the origin power of the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron, pouring maniacally into the ancient longsword in his hands!
On the body of the sword, chaos light interwoven with golden divine flame emitted a destructive aura that warped the very space!
"Open!"
Gu Sheng roared in fury, gripping the sword with both hands, and ruthlessly slashed down at the invisible space law barrier!
Although the space of the Secret Realm was unstable, and the No-fly Array was highly suppressive, Gu Sheng, with his immense strength and refined control, could still manage to fly, far surpassing the speed of running on the ground!
Two lights soared into the sky, not very high, but in the dim and chaotic Secret Realm, they were still as conspicuous as fireflies in the night!
Sure enough, in just a moment, the sound of several breaking through the air was heard from a distance!
Three figures dashed forward, blocking Gu Sheng and Gu Yuanyuan’s way!
The leader was wearing the iconic dark cyan outfit of the Wuya Sect, with a silver Broken Sword Wing Badge on his chest, his aura sharp, clearly at the peak of the Sect Realm in cultivation!
Behind him were two others, one also dressed as a Wuya Sect disciple, mid-Sect Realm.
The other was wearing a black robe, his aura cold, eyes flickering with a sinister feel, clearly an Evil Cultivator allied with the Wuya Sect, also in the late Sect Realm.
"Stop!"
The leading Wuya Sect disciple shouted sternly, his gaze like lightning, sweeping over Gu Sheng and Gu Yuanyuan.
When he sensed the deliberately suppressed Heavenly Martial Realm peak aura emanating from Gu Sheng, he frowned slightly, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Heavenly Martial Realm?"
His tone was impatient.
"A mere Heavenly Martial Realm, and you dare to trespass deep into the Secret Realm? If you don’t want to die, get out immediately! Don’t obstruct us from carrying out the sect’s mission!"
He clearly regarded Gu Sheng as a mere ordinary martial artist who mistakenly entered this place, unwilling to pay any attention, only wanting to drive them away quickly.
The black-robed Evil Cultivator disciple behind him, with triangular eyes, was fixated on Gu Sheng!
His nostrils flared slightly, as if sniffing something, his eyes filled with greed and suspicion.
"Senior Brother, wait!"
The black-robed Evil Cultivator suddenly spoke, his voice raspy and unpleasant.
"This kid... something’s off! His Qi-Blood is far more vigorous than ordinary Heavenly Martial Realm! Even... more so than some Sect Realm martial artists! And that little girl beside him, though her aura is weak, her foundation seems quite special as well!
These two... might be hiding their strength!"
He licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light.
"Senior Brother, why don’t we seize them? Use the Soul Searching Technique to see if they know Bai Zhi’s whereabouts or... if they’re involved with those disrupting our plans! Maybe we can squeeze some benefits from it!"
The leading Wuya Sect disciple’s eyes flickered at these words, once again scrutinizing Gu Sheng.
