Old Monster retreated again and again, warily watching the vines that had suddenly burst out.
With his strength, he actually felt an immense sense of danger from these vines!
"Are these vines covering the Nine-headed Lion's retreat?" Old Monster stared at them.
"Probably. These vines are no ordinary things." Hua Yunfei studied them again and again, growing more and more alarmed as he sensed just how extraordinary they were.
"Don't chase it. Let it go. Finding the Peach Tree is what matters," he said.
Old Monster nodded. With those terrifying vines blocking the way, they had no choice but to leave it at that.

Jiang Ruoyao reacted quickly, raising her sword and slashing at it.

"Boom!"
At that moment, Hua Yunfei launched himself from the side and slammed a punch into the vine.
"Hua Clan Secret Art—!!"
The vine was knocked
