Chapter 762: Fleeing and Pursuing, the Abandoned Secret Realm

"Damn, run faster!!!" Qin Muye used the golden light from the mirror demon to propel himself forward, with a disheveled Fan Hua flying beside him, using his Wisdom Sword for flight.

It had to be said, this thing was indeed very versatile. Apart from the innate spirit beast skill of severing emotions, it seemed to have many other spirit beast skills. Otherwise, how could it have condensed into a tangible form? After all, it was originally intangible and formless, and its attacks targeted the soul rather than the body. Now that it could carry Fan Hua, it must have had other spirit beast skills to assist.

"Daoist friend, your divination isn't very accurate, how could we be ambushed?" Fan Hua was also quite helpless.

He had followed Qin Muye, planning to leave the city and find a secret realm to train and see if they could find some resources to enhance their spirit beasts. However, they hadn't even left the city when they were spotted by the Mu family.

The Mu family directly attacked, surrounding them from all sides, forcing the two to flee.

The golden light from the mirror demon in Qin Muye's hand worked well as a propulsion device, but it wasn't very effective in combat.

As for Fan Hua's Wisdom Sword, despite its name, it was actually an excellent auxiliary spirit beast, not very effective in combat. Its true role was to stabilize the soul, providing support to other spirit beasts and spirit beast masters.

So, the two of them were just sidekicks, not the main fighters. How could they possibly fight against a group of tall and strong opponents?

"If my divinations were always accurate, do you think I would have been dragged into this?" Qin Muye said, somewhat exasperated.

"..." Fan Hua thought Qin Muye had a point. If his divinations were always accurate, how could he have ended up in this situation?

"Where should we go now? How do we shake them off?" Fan Hua was at a loss. In the past, when he was being chased, he just picked a random direction and ran.

Now, with Qin Muye around, he could choose better, given his expertise in divination, which might help them find a way out.

"Wherever we go, it'll be the same. As for shaking them off..." Qin Muye dodged a fireball with the golden light from the mirror demon and said, "Do you really think we can shake them off with them biting so tightly?"

"Or, how about we turn around and kill them, and everything will be solved."

Qin Muye indicated that he couldn't solve the problem, but he could try to solve the problem of the people causing it.

"Daoist friend, there's a possibility that the two of us combined can't defeat the group behind us," Fan Hua said. "You make a good point, but the issue is that we can't solve the problem of the people causing it. If we could, we wouldn't be in this situation."

"Whoa~ You've really grown today, thinking about such profound and mysterious questions." Qin Muye couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.

"Cough, Daoist friend, stop joking. Do you have any ideas?" Fan Hua asked.

"No, if I did, I would have run already." Qin Muye glanced at the pursuers behind them, sensing something odd.

It seemed as though they were deliberately chasing them, but not really trying to kill them. If the Mu family truly wanted to capture Fan Hua, with their power, they wouldn't have sent just a few people. This was a matter of family honor.

The last great era when they pressured the Spirit Emperor didn't involve the Mu family, so they only suffered significant damage but weren't wiped out.

Even with significant damage, they were still a great family, and it wouldn't make sense to send such a small and weak group. Fan Hua had already escaped several times, so Qin Muye felt that they were being deliberately pursued rather than truly captured.

Additionally, he remembered that the Mu family no longer had any Great Luo Golden Immortals. The reason for their significant damage was that the Mu family's Great Luo Golden Immortal was killed by the Spirit Emperor on some pretext. This wasn't just the Mu family; other great families also lost their Great Luo Golden Immortals, and the highest rank now was only Golden Immortal.

As for the other Great Luo Golden Immortals, they seemed to be mostly dead, all killed by the Spirit Emperor to maintain the stability and reform of the Great Spirit Dynasty. His methods were ruthless.

From the Spirit Emperor's perspective, this wasn't a big issue. It weakened the forces, balanced power, and freed up resources, allowing him to better control the situation.

However, from the perspective of the entire spirit beast world, this was not a good thing. They had weakened their own forces.

For Qin Muye, this was actually a good thing. Without the 8th-rank Great Luo Golden Immortals, it was easier for him to handle things, and the risk of exposure was slightly reduced.

However, even a 7th-rank Golden Immortal is enough to suppress a great family. After all, everyone is on the same level, and the Spirit Emperor's rank is too high. He has already obtained what he wanted, so everything naturally returned to normal.

The great families, however, are secretly scheming, trying to find ways for their Golden Immortals to break through to Great Luo Golden Immortal. The difficulty is immense, and if it were easy, they would have done it long ago. In the short term, there is no solution.

"Then we can't shake them off, can we?" Fan Hua was somewhat anxious.

"Relax, we're going to die anyway. Dying in fear and dying happily are two different ways to die. We might as well be happy about it." Qin Muye showed no concern at all.

These words slightly reassured Fan Hua. He felt that if Qin Muye truly viewed life and death so lightly, he wouldn't have asked him to deal with the Mu family's trouble. The contradiction must mean that Qin Muye was confident, otherwise, he would have taken action long ago.

The two of them managed to leave the city. In the city, the Mu family's people couldn't afford to act recklessly. This wasn't the Mu family's territory, and they had just been purged recently. They needed to be as low-key as possible to avoid another round of purging by the Spirit Emperor.

The Mu family was indeed severely weakened, but their resources and foundation remained. As long as they didn't overstep, the Spirit Emperor would turn a blind eye. However, if they overstepped, the Spirit Emperor, who now employed iron-fisted rule, wouldn't hesitate to seize more resources.

"Daoist friend, there's a secret realm ahead!!!" Fan Hua's expression was filled with surprise. He didn't expect their luck to be so good.

"Yes, that's why we ran this way. Once we enter the secret realm, we can buy some time to escape and even collect some resources along the way," Qin Muye said, continuing the conversation.

A secret realm is a world colonized by Spirit Beast Masters. Unlike the Xuanzhen World, these worlds are deeply embedded within the Spirit Beast Realm itself, becoming part of it and being absorbed as resources.

The Xuanzhen World and the Spirit Beast Realm originally belonged to the same world but were separated for unknown reasons. In other words, the two worlds together form the original 9th-rank world. Although both worlds are now 9th-rank, they have not yet reached their peak.

Compared to the more complete Xuanzhen World, the Spirit Beast Realm, when it was cut, was likely the smaller part. This is probably why the Immortal Dao system transformed into the Spirit Beast system.

These secret realms are mechanisms employed by the Spirit Beast Realm to facilitate its recovery, becoming subordinate to its greater ecosystem for more efficient energy absorption.

In other words, the secret realms of the Spirit Beast Realm are inferior to the colonies of the Xuanzhen World. One is a slave, and the other is a blood bag; the completeness of the latter is significantly greater.

The secret realm not far from Qin Muye and Fan Hua is naturally an abandoned one. It was likely stripped of its value, hence its abandonment.

However, it's not entirely empty. Occasionally, independent Spirit Beast Masters or descendants of great families enter it and sometimes find something valuable.

After all, it is a world, and even a broken ship has three pounds of nails. Unique treasures and spirit beasts occasionally form, though it takes a long time—decades or even millennia.

For Qin Muye and Fan Hua, this isn't an issue. Both have the protagonist's aura, so they are sure to find treasure inside.

"However, it seems that the secret realm has been abandoned for quite some time. If we go in, will it be dangerous?" Fan Hua hesitated.

"It shouldn't be. Even if there is danger, we can just run around and leave," Qin Muye said nonchalantly.

An abandoned secret realm might be occupied by powerful spirit beasts or independent Spirit Beast Masters. After all, it's much more luxurious than a regular house and has slightly more concentrated spiritual energy than the outside world.

Even an abandoned secret realm isn't easy to come across. Not everyone is Qin Muye.
