Desperate Escape, Startled Awake

The more the White Robe Youth thought about it, the more convinced he became that his guess was correct.

Or perhaps he's willing to believe his own speculation.

Upon realizing this, a cold look immediately appeared in the White Robe Youth's eyes.

"You little thief, don't let me find you, or I will grind you to dust, extract your soul, and make it into a lamp wick, burning you with Poison Fire for over a hundred years, so that you can neither live nor die!"

Its killing intent was so fierce that it caused the surrounding atmosphere to freeze.

The next moment, the White Robe Youth transformed into a streak of light once more and flew towards the entrance of the Secret Realm.

He had to find the thief as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if that thief wasted the treasure.

On his way to the entrance of the Secret Realm, the White Robe Youth also encountered other Innate Realm Martial Warrior were still lingering in the Secret Realm.

Already in a bad mood, he casually unleashed a few streaks of light, annihilating them all.

Thus, by the time the White-Robed Youth reached the exit of the Secret Realm Secret Realm, he had already killed more than 80% of the martial arts experts who remained inside.

Only a few people who were on the periphery and not sensed by him managed to escape this calamity.

After leaving the Secret Realm, the White Robe Youth immediately activated his mental perception to the maximum and began searching outwards from the entrance of the Secret Realm.

Just as the White Robe Youth was searching outside, several figures were hiding in a cave dozens of miles away from the entrance to the Secret Realm.

One of the middle-aged men looked at a broken jade pendant in his hand with a grim expression.

"The Third Brother is dead."

"Third Brother is dead! Who killed him?!" a woman nearby exclaimed in shock.

"I don't know, but there's a very high chance it was that monster from Central Province that killed him," the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"I had tried to persuade Third Brother to come out with us, but he couldn't bear to part with that immature Spirit Herb."

Those two monsters are exceptionally brutal; they've wiped out several sects in Central Province alone. How could they possibly harbor any illusions?

"Another man said."

"Things have come to this point, and there's no going back. I think we have to keep moving out and get out of here completely!"

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"Leave now? That monster is in the Secret Realm, it shouldn't come out so soon, right? Brother, why don't we rest for a while before we leave?" the woman said.

In their haste to escape the Secret Realm, they had been pushing their movement techniques to the limit, and their true energy was now greatly depleted, with no time to recover.

"We can't afford to be complacent! That monster is so brutal and unpredictable; who knows if it might suddenly appear! It's better to be tired now than to lose our lives!"

The middle-aged man said firmly.

For some reason, he always felt a sense of unease, as if something extremely dangerous was about to happen.

So I don't want to stay here for even a moment longer.

In any case, they gained quite a bit from this exploration of the Secret Realm, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

"Okay, I'll do as you say, brother!" another man immediately said.

The remaining two also had no objections.

They all knew that their eldest brother had a magical ability: a very keen sense of danger.

When they were still weak, they had escaped deadly dangers more than once, thanks to their eldest brother's leadership.

Since my elder brother is so insistent, he must have sensed danger again.

Unfortunately, since achieving the Innate Realm, they have hardly encountered any dangers after working together.

This caused Third Brother to lose his previous vigilance and not come out with them, thus perishing in the Secret Realm.

Without taking a break, the group immediately left the cave and continued their journey.

Along the way, there was no time to conceal their presence; speed was the priority.

Because they knew that concealing their whereabouts was useless in the face of that monster's power.

Under the influence of spiritual perception, nothing can be hidden.

And so, through their desperate journey, they finally escaped the Ten Thousand Mountains.

"Finally out!"

"Big brother, where do we go next?"

Looking at the vast sky ahead, they were all filled with joy.

"Keep going, then find a small town to hide in. The farther away you are, the lower the chance of encountering that monster will be."

The middle-aged man's face was grave.

Because he felt that the oppressive feeling that enveloped his heart had not lessened, but instead had become heavier and heavier.

Even my mind felt sluggish and unable to function.

This sense of oppression was far heavier than any crisis he had ever faced before.

It gave him a very bad feeling.

If they don't get farther away soon, the siblings will likely face unimaginable annihilation! "Quick, speed up!"

Suppressing the pent-up emotions in his heart, the middle-aged man gave the order.

"Good!"

Although the other three were quite exhausted, their trust in their eldest brother spurred them to keep going.

After walking for a while, the group suddenly felt a sense of exhilaration.

The surrounding spiritual energy suddenly became much denser, which invigorated their weary minds.

"What's going on? Is there some treasure nearby?"

"Brother, look, there's a village ahead!"

At this moment, the group was standing on a hillside, looking down, and saw a village shrouded in mist at the foot of the mountain below.

The surrounding spiritual energy was slowly gathering in that direction, making the spiritual energy on the hillside where they were located much denser.

"On the edge of these Ten Thousand Mountains, there actually exists such a mysterious village?"

"Is there some extraordinary person living in seclusion here?"

The group immediately recognized the village's extraordinary nature and were all amazed.

However, just as the group was in shock, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed drastically.

Suddenly he roared, "Run!"

At the same time, in an instant, he pushed his movement technique to its limit and rushed forward.

The other three were taken aback at first, but their years of tacit understanding allowed them to react in a very short time.

Using the same movement technique, he followed behind his elder brother, running down the mountain.

However, it was all too late.

Before they had even run a few dozen feet, an extremely dangerous aura came from behind them.

At the same time, a tremendous suppressive force descended upon them, rendering them completely immobile, like fish frozen in ice.

"It's over!"

A look of despair appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes.

The next moment, he felt his body tighten, and an incredibly powerful squeezing force came from all directions, causing him to vomit blood uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, everything went black, and I knew nothing more.

As consciousness faded, all that remained was a chilling voice that whispered in my ear, "Hmph, a bunch of ants."

"What is that?!"

In Nine Li Village, Lu Qing, who was in seclusion refining his soul and body, suddenly sensed a very dangerous aura and was jolted awake.
