"Sky Fox Clan! Bai Xin! Bai Ling'er!"
Long Hanji raised a delicate brow. Several Nascent Soul Cultivators had ventured deep into Demon Race territory and lured out and killed Bai Ling'er, a member of the Sky Fox Clan who had been a key focus of their cultivation? It was simply a fantasy.
This might be a trap—a trap aimed at Azure Ripple World cultivators. Perhaps the moment a large number of Azure Ripple World cultivators arrived in the Eastern Fence World would be the moment of their deaths. There might be a massive force lying in ambush outside, along with countless Restrictions.
The road ahead would be difficult, fraught with danger at every turn. Yet she had to keep going. Even if she had to kill, she would carve out a path to survival through slaughter.
"Have you considered that Bai Ling'er might have faked her death? That the enemy set a trap and is waiting for you to jump into it?"
Long Hanji asked coldly, her gaze fixed firmly on Shen Haoran. If looks could kill, Shen Haoran would already have been dead.
Shen Haoran shuddered, and his face immediately turned pale. Of course he had considered it. However, his lifespan was running short, and he had feared that other disciples of his sect might open a spatial passage to another realm before him, cutting off his own retreat. That was why he had opened the passage connecting the Azure Ripple World and the Eastern Fence World.
"This disciple had his suspicions, but I believe that once Martial Uncle Zhao and the others arrive, our sect should be able to take the entire Eastern Fence World. It will merely take more time."
Shen Haoran spoke softly, his expression tense.
Long Hanji looked toward Song Yuzhen and the other three.
