Chapter 1622: Chapter 1623: Just Happened to Bump Into Chapter 1622: Chapter 1623: Just Happened to Bump Into In the Divine Country, Song Jian was anxiously waiting, hoping for the Dark Mist Blood Demons to leave on their own. He hadn't expected that these creatures didn't have a fixed abode; as long as there was a shadow, they could perfectly blend into it.
Elsewhere, the nine disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were dwindling in numbers, with only the last three remaining in the secret realm for exploration. These three disciples were in tattered clothes, yet they were all in high spirits.
“Senior brother, this expedition into the secret realm has truly been a windfall. I never imagined I could break through to the Legendary Realm so quickly!” a young disciple said with joy clearly showing on his face, laughing.
“Guo Lian, you are the last among us three to break through to the Legendary Realm, what's there to be excited about?” A female disciple said disdainfully, “You've made progress, but that doesn't mean the other senior and junior brothers haven't. Maybe their gains are even greater than ours!”
“Lian Yue is right. Although we have all broken through to the Legendary Realm, we shouldn't become complacent. Remember last time? If it hadn't been for Junior Sister Lian Yue's use of the Seductive Ring, we might all have perished at the hands of that Dark Mist creature!” an older disciple said gravely.
“Yes, senior brother, but now if we encounter that monster again, with the strength of the three of us, we can surely kill it, and then our cultivation will greatly increase!” Guo Lian said, full of confidence.
Just then, a thunderous roar like a mountainous tsunami suddenly came from a distance. The three of them froze, exchanged glances, and saw a deep fear in each other's eyes.
“What… what kind of monster is that…” Guo Lian's face turned pale, and he said with fear.
“You two wait here, I'll go and take a look. Be on your guard!” Liu Su said in a low voice, clutching the long sword in his hand, and slowly moved forward. In a short time, his figure disappeared from the other two disciples' sight.
After a long while, Liu Su had not yet returned. Surrounded by silence, Guo Lian shrank his neck and asked in a low voice, “Junior sister, senior brother has been gone for so long. Could something have happened to him?”
Lian Yue glared fiercely at Guo Lian and snorted coldly, “Coward, the three of us at the Legendary Realm can walk sideways in this secret realm. Those monsters are, at most, at the Legendary Realm. What are you afraid of?”
“But the senior brothers who came out of the secret realm earlier said that there might be beings at the Demi-God Level inside…” Guo Lian said sheepishly.
“Might be, do you know what 'might be' means?” Lian Yue scolded, “If there were really beings at the Demi-God Level, how could those senior brothers have possibly come back?”
Guo Lian didn't know how to counter that and just stood on the side with a forced smile, but he was ready to flee at any moment.
After waiting for another fifteen minutes, they saw Li Su running towards them as fast as he could, while signaling frantically to them as he ran.
“Senior brother, why aren't you flying with your sword?” Both hurried to meet him, and Guo Lian asked puzzled.
“Silence!” Liu Su's expression changed dramatically and he quickly covered Guo Lian's mouth, speaking in a low voice.
“Senior brother, what happened?” Lian Yue asked in a hushed voice.
“Ahead, there is a large swarm of monsters…” Liu Su's complexion shifted, speaking in a low voice, “It's like a tidal wave, dense and countless. These monsters, monsters are all at the Legendary Realm's strength, and among this horde, I, I also felt, felt…”
Liu Su turned deathly pale, as if he had encountered something beyond belief.
“Senior brother, what did you feel exactly? Could it be that there really are monsters with Demi-God Level strength?” Guo Lian's lips trembled as he asked, seeming to have realized something.
“`
Liu Su took a deep breath, slowly nodded, and hurriedly led the two in the opposite direction.
Lian Yue and Guo Lian were shaking all over. They had not expected that within this secret realm, there would actually be an existence at a Demi-God Level. The two kept silent and desperately followed behind Liu Su.
In such a situation, the three no longer dared to even consider flying through the air; not only was it slow, but it also made a lot of noise, which could easily attract the attention of monsters.
What they didn't expect was that, as the three of them were fleeing, a black mist demon slowly emerged from the shadow of a rock, staring at their retreating figures for a long time. It let out an inaudible hiss and then kept shadow traveling through various shadows, chasing after the trio.
This black mist demon was actually capable of instantaneously moving through shadows. Before long, it had caught up with Liu Su and the others, keeping a distance behind them while continuously making that inaudible sound, summoning possible companions lurking nearby.
At this moment, Song Jian was hiding within the Shattered Divine Realm, and although he could not sense the outside situation, he always felt an ominous threat hanging over his head.
“What to do? Do I have to keep hiding in the Shattered Divine Realm? If the time in the secret realm runs out and I don't leave, won't I be trapped here forever?” Song Jian thought to himself.
He closed his eyes and began to sense the location of the two Trees of Life. Being inside the secret realm had significantly reduced his perception of the Trees of Life. Now Song Jian could only vaguely sense their presence, but he couldn't pinpoint their exact location. Under these circumstances, he didn't dare to use the Trees of Life to travel, lest he become lost in the River of Time and Space.
Just as Song Jian didn't know what to do, the black mist demons that had previously hidden in the shadows seemed to have received some sort of signal. One after another, they emerged from the shadows and roared as they converged together.
At that moment, Liu Su and the others' complexions drastically changed. They felt the sudden appearance of a large number of black mist demons around them, seemingly having completely encircled them.
However, the good news was that these black mist demons were not high-level; the strongest among them was only at the Legendary Realm, comparable to their own strength. The Demi-God Level black mist demon perceived by Liu Su had not appeared.
“Master, senior brother, what should we do?” Lian Yue was so scared she was almost crying. There were at least three days left before they could leave the secret realm, and they didn't have a single place to hide for such a long time.
“Send a distress signal, run in that direction, I remember, there's a stone forest there, we can hide in the stone forest!” Liu Su pointed in a direction, grinding her teeth as she spoke.
At this moment, the three of them were out of options. Guo Lian took out a signal arrow from his bosom and threw it into the sky. Then, without looking back, they headed towards the stone forest Liu Su had mentioned.
Inside the Divine Country, Song Jian, who was seated on the divine throne deep in thought, suddenly felt the pricking sensation of threat dissipate slowly, a surge of joy causing him to sit upright.
“Did those dark demons leave?” Song Jian asked in surprise.
With a thought, Song Jian's figure vanished from the Divine Country and reappeared in the secret realm. Indeed, the black mist demons around him had vanished without a trace.
Just as Song Jian was overwhelmed with joy, he suddenly saw three bedraggled figures rushing toward his position.
