Cold sweat beaded on Qing Zhixun's forehead. Using his Mental Power to scan the area, he detected an incomparably eerie presence that had suddenly emerged.
He looked worriedly toward Xi Xiu and left Qing Sansui to fight alone as he rushed to her side.
His instincts told him that this place was extremely dangerous, somewhat like the feeling when the two of them had inexplicably fallen into the Artificial Star last time.
A voice deep within his heart also told him that if he did not get to Xi Xiu's side, he might lose her forever.
So without hesitation, he sprinted over, deploying the mechanical arms of his protective mech and tightly wrapping them around the outer layer of Xi Xiu's mech.
Xi Xiu was not surprised.
She had also sensed that something was wrong in the starry sky.
The space around them felt distorted.
Ebony seemed to have sensed something as well and swiftly returned to Xi Xiu's side.
Fortunately, its vines had remained on Xi Xiu all along. Otherwise, it would not have been able to grab her.
By the time A Xian turned around, only a few seconds had passed, yet the place where Xi Xiu had been was already empty.
Qing Zhixun was gone, and Ebony had vanished without a trace as well.
Even the Hu Jing Beast had disappeared, its presence undetectable even with Mental Power.
A Xian immediately panicked.
That Hu Jing Beast was truly cunning. Seeing that it could not win, it had decided to drag others down with it.
Li Zhengfeng, inside the Hu Jing Beast's body, still had no idea what had happened.
He was busy dismantling the mechanical organs inside the Hu Jing Beast!
Since he could not inflict any substantial damage on it, he would simply take it apart.
