The north side.
This direction was considered one of the weaker points of defense for these spirit beasts.
The group gathered together, those who could fly attacked from the air, and those who couldn't, forcefully tore open a gap!
Fortunately, there were no Core Formation stage spirit beasts on the northern defense line, otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to break through so easily.
Soon.
Before the spirit beasts on the other three sides could react, everyone had already passed through the spirit beast encirclement and rushed further north!
However, it was only a breakthrough.
Those spirit beasts were still tightly on their heels, making it difficult to shake them off!
"Su Ling!"
Immediately after breaking through, Xiu Yun called out to Su Ling, who was not far behind him, "You go ahead and scout. If there's anyone, tell them about the situation here first!
Escape if you can, hide if you can!"
In any case, fighting was not an option.
These spirit beasts were too terrifying; even if everyone who entered the Zhutian Secret Realm gathered together, they would still be no match for them!
"Okay!"
Su Ling responded and was about to dart forward when she heard Yun Ze's voice behind her!
"Take me with you!"
Everyone turned to look at Yun Ze, and they heard him continue, "I might know the people ahead!"
"Take him!"
Even though Yun Ze spoke, Su Ling did not act rashly. She only turned and brought Yun Ze along after hearing Xiu Yun's command.
This was her necessary cover.
She had been entrusted by Xiao Han Shi to look after Yun Ze.
However, in front of Xiu Yun, she was still a member of the Demon Den.
In this situation, acting on her own without following orders would be a grave offense!
Yun Ze was brought along by Su Ling, and the scenery before his eyes began to recede at an incredible speed.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, her speed was becoming more and more terrifying!
"Su Ling?" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
While Yun Ze's eyes frantically scanned below, he also uttered the other person's name, "Your name sounds very much like a friend of mine."
"Oh, really? Then your friend and I are truly fated." Su Ling replied with a smile.
"Yes, you are both skilled in escape arts."
Yun Ze replied, then struck up a conversation, "You are surnamed Su, do you know Su Huangjiu?"
"Su Huangjiu?"
"A servant of the Su family in Zhongxuan Heaven, who once collected a large amount of materials for earth-based Foundation Establishment in the Northwest Xuan Heaven."
"There should be such a thing."
Su Ling replied indifferently, "My family did receive an order to collect materials for earth-based Foundation Establishment. What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Yun Ze gave a wry smile. So the source was here.
The Su family that collected materials for earth-based Foundation Establishment was Su Ling's family.
In this case, those materials should have fallen into Xiu Yun's hands.
These monsters had prepared ninety-nine sets of materials for earth-based Foundation Establishment. Who knew how long they had been collecting them.
"I see people!"
Su Ling's voice sounded in his ear, "About seven hundred meters ahead! There are two people!"
Yun Ze looked in the direction Su Ling pointed and indeed saw two figures.
One of them looked exactly like Bu Bu, and the other resembled Xiu Long, whom he had seen before.
But... this was wrong!
Both of these individuals possessed spatial power. How could they be traveling on foot?
"Let's go down first! Be careful!" Yun Ze said quickly.
"Huh?"
Su Ling frowned in confusion, but still followed Yun Ze's words and descended from the air with him.
She turned to look at Yun Ze, somewhat puzzled, "Why are we going down? Didn't you say you knew that person?"
"I know them, but it's a bit strange."
"What's strange?"
Although this sentence was spoken by a female voice, it was not Su Ling who spoke. Instead, it came from the bushes ahead!
Yun Ze casually threw out the Mountain Ghost's Slant, blocking in front of Su Ling, "Who! Come out!"
"Huo!"
A young boy's voice rang out, and then two figures emerged from the bushes, "Bu Bu, it seems the person you're looking for doesn't recognize you!"
"Hmph!"
Bu Bu snorted coldly and continued to walk towards Yun Ze.
"Wait!"
Yun Ze took a step back, looking at Bu Bu with extreme caution, "Who are you?"
Bu Bu's eyes narrowed, "You tell me who I am?"
"The person I know can use spatial arts, but you are only walking, and you didn't come to find me in a moment of crisis. You are not her!"
"Idiot."
Xiu Long rolled her eyes and cursed under her breath, "Space has been sealed by others, what's the point of using spatial arts!"
This didn't sound like a lie, but Yun Ze couldn't help but frown.
Space sealed?
But I can still unleash my Hidden Sword, so why would space be sealed?
"I'll explain this to you later, and I'll give you a way to verify my identity."
Bu Bu seemed not to be angry, but there was a hint of suppressed rage in her words, "Come, draw your sword at me."
"Hmm?"
Yun Ze tilted his head, doubting his own ears.
"I said, draw your sword at me!"
"Okay, you said it!"
Yun Ze did not hesitate and unleashed a Lingyun Sword Art!
But before the sword energy could spread, he felt a sharp pain in his forehead and immediately crouched on the ground, clutching his brow!
"Hiss! What... what is this!"
"Bloodline suppression."
Bu Bu casually uttered four words and slowly walked to Yun Ze's side, reaching out and wiping his brow, "If you don't know if it's me in the future, you can try again!"
Yun Ze returned to normal.
He repeatedly waved his hands at Bu Bu, "No more trying, no more trying."
This pain was different from the pain of expanding the Qi Sea; it was a piercing pain!
It stung his heart like thousands of steel needles!
Although Yun Ze could no longer feel the pain, he still rubbed his brow, feeling a sense of lingering fear.
He looked at Bu Bu with some confusion, "You just mentioned space being sealed, what was that about?"
"Hey! Now is not the time to talk about this!"
Su Ling reminded him from the side, "There are so many spirit beasts chasing behind us! If you can't deal with them, hurry up and run!"
"Spirit beasts?"
Bu Bu's eyes suddenly lit up, "How many?"
"At least over three thousand Qi Condensation stage spirit beasts, thirty-five Foundation Establishment stage spirit beasts, and one Core Formation stage."
Yun Ze looked at Bu Bu with anticipation, "So, can you handle it?"
"...If space wasn't sealed, I might be able to try." Bu Bu said after a few seconds of hesitation.
"And now?"
"Of course not."
"...Then let's keep running."
Yun Ze said helplessly.
Even if they couldn't win, with their speed, they could still have a chance to shake off those spirit beasts if they persisted for three days and two nights.
Moreover, he did not want Xiu Yun and the others to meet Bu Bu and the other person.
After all, the chaos in the Zhutian Secret Realm was caused by the intrusion of these two. If they didn't meet, it would be fine, but if they did, no one knew what Xiu Yun would decide.
"If I can't solve it all, it doesn't mean I can't solve part of it. Let's wait for them to come over first."
Bu Bu turned to Yun Ze and said, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."
"Hey! What about me?" Xiu Long asked quickly.
Bu Bu did not answer, but instead, she led Yun Ze to the side.
Even if Xiu Long wanted to step forward, she did not dare to move rashly and could only stand tens of meters away with Su Ling.
As soon as Yun Ze stopped, he saw Bu Bu hand him a green spherical object.
This aura... it felt like Yuan Qi!
However, this thing was somewhat different from Yuan Qi; at least, Yun Ze did not feel nauseous looking at it.
"This is..."
"Life Origin."
Bu Bu transmitted her voice casually, "There are a total of three hundred and sixty-five strands in the entire secret realm, corresponding to the number of heavenly cycles. There are twenty-six strands here, and three hundred and thirty-nine strands have not been found. Each strand requires a strand of Yuan Qi to condense.
If you gather them all, you can attempt Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. This item can only be integrated into your Qi Sea, and it must not be discovered by anyone else!"
"Okay!"
Yun Ze responded, took the green sphere into his palm, and then took out his Qiankun Bag, "There is the corpse of Monk Du Zhi in here. He also seemed to have absorbed a strand of Yuan Qi. Can it be refined?"
Bu Bu shook her head.
"If this Yuan Qi is absorbed, the Life Origin will automatically return to that person, and a new strand of Yuan Qi will be generated."
Yun Ze couldn't help but frown.
If that was the case, then to gather the remaining three hundred and thirty-nine strands of Yuan Qi, he would have to kill at least three hundred and thirty-nine Foundation Establishment spirit beasts, or nearly three thousand ninth-level Qi Condensation spirit beasts?
No wonder...
No wonder Bu Bu's expression changed when she heard that there were spirit beasts behind them.
Yun Ze also became excited. While absorbing the green sphere, he asked Bu Bu, "Then, what about us now..."
Bu Bu's eyes held a hint of a smile, and then she asked, "Have you heard of guerrilla warfare?"
Guerrilla warfare?
Yun Ze tilted his head. He didn't know where Bu Bu had learned this term from.
