With a flash-step, I darted a hundred meters forward and forced a Substitute Ghost Gu out of my body. The Ghost Gu had become even more lifelike, now resembling a shadow split off from me. With a whoosh, it flew down another path!
I recited the incantation. A blue talisman vanished from my hand, and I plunged into a series of high-speed jumps. But at the instant I was about to leave, I looked back and sensed traces of someone monitoring and controlling the area around me.
"Stop running. We're not going to kill you! You can't escape anyway!" the female Supreme Grand Elder named Xiao Zhuoxiu shouted coldly. Her voice came from far away and then rapidly drew near—clearly, a hundred meters meant nothing to her!
The other Supreme Grand Elder, Bipo, headed toward the Substitute Ghost Gu. Just a moment later, I lost contact with my substitute, and bitterness surged through my heart.
Clutching the blue talisman in my hand, I flash-stepped again and sensed that the yin energy around me had become strange. It felt just like the sensation I'd had when I previously arrived at Liancheng Mountain's shooting range.
It was precisely this yin energy that had caused me to enter one of Master's forbidden grounds by accident. But this place was clearly much more violent. Once I went down, I could very well fall into danger at once!
I held the blue talisman in one hand and the Yin-Yang Token in the other, then took two steps back.
The two Supreme Grand Elders approached me from the east and west in succession, smugness spreading across their faces.
"The Boundary-Breaking Token is useful, but there are some places where it can't be used. Since you have that thing, you should know its advantages and drawbacks, right?"
