As the bloody mushroom cloud transformed into a crimson path, stretching deep into the distance, no more blood beasts or blood figures emerged, granting Shi Yutan and the others a brief respite.
But the ten or so survivors were now in a wretched state, their hearts still unsettled.
Had Xuan Yu Hall not suddenly appeared and followed the crimson path, Ye Wushuang would surely have killed them.
They narrowly escaped death！
Hearing Shi Simiao’s question, Shi Yutan trembled as she took out a spirit pill, swallowed it, and remained silent for a long while.
Cao Anmin stood on the other side, watching Shi Yutan’s reaction, his emotions equally complicated.
Earlier, Shi Yutan had mocked him for fearing Ye Wushuang.
But now？
The man had truly come for them.
So I ask you, Shi Yutan, are you scared？
However, having narrowly escaped death, Cao Anmin was in no mood to taunt Shi Yutan now.
The bloody mushroom cloud above had vanished, and the crimson path was gradually dissipating.
Deep within the stone palace, who knows what else lies hidden.
Xuan Yu Hall has gone…
Ye Wushuang has followed too…
Shi Yutan’s emotions were in turmoil at this moment.
To follow or not to follow？
Just then.
Shi Yutan flipped his palm, and a communication stone suddenly flickered, a voice ringing out.
”Yutan, where are you all？”
The voice carried a trace of concern.
”It’s Brother Tianlang！”
Hearing the voice, Shi Simiao’s face lit up with joy.
Shi Yutan immediately replied, “Inside a secret location within the Void Land！”
The other side quickly responded, “Find someone to wait for us at the entrance of the secret location. Shu Wuyan and I will arrive soon！”
As these words were spoken.
A murderous intent reappeared in Shi Yutan’s eyes.
Shi Tianlang！
He was one of the core figures of the Shi family today. Though of the same generation as Shi Yutan, Shi Chen’an, and Shi Simiao, Shi Tianlang was born a century earlier and was now a peak Star-Transcending Realm expert.
As for Shu Wuyan, he was another prodigy of the Shu family, also a peak Star-Transcending Realm expert.
These two shared an extremely close bond and currently held high-ranking positions involved in major family affairs.
Moreover, both had the potential to step into the Saintly Heaven Realm in the future, becoming pillars of their families.
”Shi Tianlang and Shu Wuyan？”
Cao Anmin also came up at this moment, exclaiming in delight： “Then we don’t have to run away？”
We just got here and haven’t even encountered any opportunities yet. It’d be such a shame to slink away like this.
Earlier, we were afraid of Ye Wushuang, but now we have stronger allies coming. There’s no need to fear anymore.
Shi Yutan immediately said： “Simiao, you go greet the two elder brothers. I’ll go with Cao Anmin to check out the current situation inside.”
”Got it, Sister Yutan. Be careful—that Ye Wushuang isn’t human！”
”Mm.”
Shi Yutan and Cao Anmin left together, while Shi Simiao also led the others away.
After the twelve scattered, in a stone palace, Zhou Yuan and Huang Yu finally stepped forward.
”That scared me to death just now,” Huang Yu let out a breath and said： “Those blood beasts and blood humans… truly horrifying.”
Zhou Yuan and Huang Yu had separated from Ye Wushuang at the stone pillar area and arrived here earlier.
However, upon seeing the Shi and Cao family members, the two simply hid and then witnessed the subsequent scenes.
Huang Yu marveled： “Who would’ve thought Young Master Ye, at just the Arrogant Myriad Realm, could slay a late-stage Transformation Realm expert so effortlessly.”
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan chuckled and said： “Then tell me, if this kid reaches the Star-Plucking Transformation Realm, could he directly tear apart a peak Star-Plucking Transformation Realm expert with his bare hands？”
”How would I know that.”
Huang Yu thought for a moment and added, “I think he can.”
”Hehe…” Zhou Yuan chuckled and said, “Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. This kid has cultivated his physique, meridians, and spiritual power to an incredibly strong level at the Delusional Realm. It’s like being a big fatty—to reach the Star-Picking Realm, he’d have to squeeze himself into a thin line.”
”Ordinary people are thinner, so they can squeeze through with some effort. But he’s too ‘fat’ now, making it very hard to squeeze through！”
Huang Yu exclaimed in surprise, “So you mean his current strength is actually a bad thing？”
”Hmm…”
Hearing this, Huang Yu scratched his head and said, “I think you’re wrong, old man.”
”Oh？”
”Think about it, old man—why can Young Master Ye achieve what others can’t at the Delusional Realm？” Huang Yu said earnestly. “Because he’s a genius—no, a prodigy beyond geniuses.”
”Can the path of a prodigy be something us ordinary folks can fully comprehend？”
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but laugh wryly. “Hehe, you’ve got a point.”
”Hurry up, old senior, let’s go tell Young Master Ye that Shu Wuyan and Shi Tianlang are coming. Both of them are at the peak of the Star-Picking Realm and key figures of the Shu and Shi families—they’re incredibly strong.”
”Alright！”
Without delay, Zhou Yuan and Huang Yu hurried forward…
The blood-red path stretches deep into the ground.
A tall figure clad in blood-red robes stood on the crimson path, taking strides forward.
It seemed as though this path had been opened specifically for this person.
Ye Wushuang followed behind, keeping some distance as he carefully observed both the blood-red path and the robed man.
To Ye Wushuang’s left front, a group of eight people were also trailing the blood-robed man.
Leading them was Xuan Yutang from the Xuan family.
Seeing that Ye Wushuang hadn’t killed Shi Yutan’s group first but instead caught up, Xuan Yutang shouted across the distance, “Young Master Ye, our first meeting—I’ve long heard of your fame！”
Ye Wushuang ignored him.
Xuan Yutang continued, “I am Xuan Yutang of the Xuan family from the Tianxuan Continent.”
Ye Wushuang looked up and smiled faintly, “May I ask, Young Master Xuan, how long did you last in the Thousand-Faced Wall test？”
At these words, the smile vanished from Xuan Yutang’s eyes.
”So Young Master Ye already knew we were following behind.”
Ye Wushuang replied, “In such a secretive place, if I could be the oriole, surely others could too. So along the way, I left behind some minor spirit arrays—nothing lethal, just to sense if anyone passed by.”
Xuan Yutang immediately smiled and said： “I bear no ill will towards Young Master Ye. What comes next, be it fortune or misfortune, opportunity or disaster, we’ll each rely on our own abilities without interfering with one another. How about that？”
