While Xue Fuyao was hurrying back, an unexpected situation had also arisen on Gu Nian and Chu Yunzhe's side.
The two were under siege, and their attackers were none other than the people who had come to the Mortal Realm with them not long ago.
"Have you lost your minds? You actually dare attack me!" Gu Nian demanded harshly as she looked at them, feeling thoroughly stifled.
Had her cultivation not been suppressed, even twice their combined numbers would have been no match for her.
"Niannian, don't act rashly. Look at their eyes. They seem to be controlled," Chu Yunzhe said calmly.
"Obviously. Of course I can tell they're being controlled. Otherwise, even with ten times the guts, they wouldn't dare ambush the two of us." As she spoke, Gu Nian casually knocked out someone attempting to sneak up on her.
"A Formation Disk that seals off space has been placed here. We're trapped. To escape, we need to find whoever is hiding in the shadows," Chu Yunzhe said as he dodged the others' attacks.
Gu Nian seemed to be growing angrier as she fought, and she swung a fist at the person closest to her.
This time, she did not hold back at all.
The person she struck flew backward and smashed a human-shaped crater into the ground, losing consciousness completely.
"Who the hell brings a Formation Disk capable of sealing off space to the Mortal Realm? Are they sick in the head?!"
"Don't lose your composure and give whoever's hiding an opening. In a moment, I'll force a breach. Take the chance to leave immediately," Chu Yunzhe said earnestly.
"No." Gu Nian refused without a moment's thought. She would never leave Chu Yunzhe here alone.
"Listen to me. Our junior sister is still out there. Think of her.
