I Avoid His Edge?

Upon hearing this, Li Qingluan frowned slightly, glancing at Qin Wangchuan beside her, a hint of doubt flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Retreating before a major battle is not his usual style.

But seeing the undeniable seriousness in Qin Wangchuan's eyes, Li Qingluan finally suppressed her fighting spirit and nodded.

"I can listen to you for now," she sheathed her sword, her voice cold and clear, "But after we leave, you must explain everything to me." This was already her biggest concession.

Seeing this, a flicker of struggle crossed Shen Xinghe's eyes.

The opportunity is right in front of you!

Although the Alien Invasion brought chaos, it also built an invisible barrier—those cultivators with ulterior motives were now trapped in the flames of war and could no longer cause trouble.

This is the perfect time to dive deeper!

Without further hesitation, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Since the Divine Son and fairy must depart first, then farewell!"

Having said that, without waiting for a response, he shot off towards the deepest part of the Immortal Path, opposite to the exit, at an astonishing speed.

His eyes burned with excitement and determination:

'Abundant Spiritual Power, all trump cards at our disposal, success is assured!'

In the blink of an eye, only Qin Wangchuan and Li Qingluan remained in this area.

Qin Wangchuan didn't stop Shen Xinghe, nor did he even glance at him. He simply said to Li Qingluan, "Let's go."

The two hurried toward the exit.

Although the surrounding area was in complete chaos, it wasn't a problem.

After walking a long distance, Li Qingluan suddenly turned around.

She sensed an extremely ominous aura.

"Is it a treasure from Alien Race?"

"Yes." Qin Wangchuan's voice was deep, his robes fluttering in the Gale Wind.

She let out a soft sigh, a glint of light in her eyes. "To be able to sense such an ominous aura from this distance, it seems the Alien Race came prepared this time."

He glanced sideways at the person beside him, his tone lecturing, "The weapons and techniques of Alien Race have all damaged our Human Race. We must be extra careful when facing them, especially with such a terrifying treasure."

"Luckily we left in advance."

Upon seeing the Immortal Path Exit in the distance, Li Qingluan suddenly stopped. "Now you should tell me something, right?"

"It's just an ambush," Qin Wangchuan said calmly, "Aimed at you."

"Targeting me?" Her pupils contracted slightly.

Qin Wangchuan did not answer, but simply gazed at her silently.

Those usually indifferent eyes now seemed to hold the depths of an ancient, icy pool, with a hint of sorrow swirling within them.

Li Qingluan felt a shiver run through her heart at that gaze, but ultimately did not press the matter.

She casually smoothed her hair and said, "Well, now that we're out here, let the elders handle these matters."

She gently raised her hand, instinctively reaching out to take his, but unexpectedly grasped only empty air.

"You..." Li Qingluan looked up in astonishment, only to see that Qin Wangchuan had already turned his back to her, leaving only one sentence:

Let's go.

Li Qingluan's hand hovered in mid-air, her fingertips trembling slightly.

As she watched Qin Wangchuan's retreating figure, a sudden, inexplicable panic welled up inside her—as if something important was slipping through her fingers, and she couldn't grasp even a fraction of it.

This feeling is really unpleasant.

He quickly caught up with the boy's retreating figure, just about to say something.

Qin Wangchuan paused, his gaze turning towards him.

"What's wrong?" Li Qingluan asked, a strange unease rising in her heart.

"It seems this is the best I can do." His voice remained calm.

"You're going back?" Upon hearing this, Li Qingluan's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and a bright smile unconsciously curved her lips, "That's more like it, that's more like you."

Her eyes blazed with fighting spirit. "Then let's go, let's go back and fight until the world turns upside down, and I'll show you my new tricks."

Before she finished speaking, Li Qingluan reached out to take Qin Wangchuan's hand again.

This time, he stood his ground without flinching, and Li Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief, "Speaking of which, this is the first time we've fought side by side..."

The conversation abruptly ended.

Because her hand passed right through Qin Wangchuan's arm without any resistance!

The touch was empty and illusory, without any sense of flesh and blood, as if touching only a condensed mass of light and shadow, cold and void.

Li Qingluan abruptly withdrew her hand, her pupils contracting sharply as she stared in disbelief at the figure before her.

Qin Wangchuan's face still held that faint smile, but his figure began to become blurred and transparent at a visible speed, swaying uncertainly like a reflection in water.

Only his eyes remained calmly fixed on her, a faint, almost helpless apology hidden deep within them.

Without leaving any words, the phantom vanished completely, like wisps of smoke scattered by the wind.

"You..." Li Qingluan instantly understood, her voice trembling slightly with shock, "The Book of Illusory Worlds?!"

After figuring this out, she stood there, stunned.

When was it?

Is this the beginning of the Alien Invasion?

Or even earlier?

When was the last time the two of them had physical contact?

Various images flashed through my mind.

A complex mix of emotions surged through me, first doubt and worry, then all of which transformed into a burning rage.

More importantly, since he set up an avatar to lure me away, there must be a deeper meaning to it.

The true Storm Core is likely far more complex than what we see at first glance.

"Qin-Wang-Chuan!"

Li Qingluan gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressing her turbulent emotions, and her eyes regained their icy, sharp light.

She gazed into the depths of the Immortal Path, then turned away without hesitation.

Just as she was about to leave, a long, strong hand suddenly pressed down on her shoulder.

"Get out of my way!" A cold glint flashed in Li Qingluan's eyes, and she unleashed a sharp sword beam with her backhand.

This strike, born of rage, was extraordinary.

But with a casual flick of his sleeve, the Sword Light shattered like glass.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush." The newcomer didn't even glance at Li Qingluan, but instead looked up into the depths of the Immortal Path, sensing the extremely ominous aura, his expression slightly grave.

"It's another Black Nail... Since you've come all this way, it means it's indeed dangerous inside."

"It's our turn!"

In an instant, the Light Screen at the Immortal Path Entrance began to fluctuate violently as if boiling!

The next moment, countless figures surged across the Light Screen like a flood bursting its banks, pouring into this world!

One after another, Evasion Light lit up in a rush, displaying a dazzling array of colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—instantly illuminating the previously dim void as if it were daytime!

"You Alien Race bastards, Grandpa's here!"

Where are the people from Qin Wangchuan?

"Wouldn't this count as doing him a favor?"

The clamor instantly drowned out the sounds of battle in the distance.

Countless faces were filled with excitement, tension, and even more so with a fighting spirit, as if they were heading not to Life and Death Battle, but to a grand hunt they had long awaited.
