"It’s raining?" The group murmured in surprise, not expecting rain to suddenly fall inside.
"Sothing’s off. Look—the sky feels strange, doesn’t it?" Yue’er asked, gazing upward. The heavens seed transford, stretching like a vast mirror with powerful spirit energy rippling across its surface.
"Sothing’s off. I think we should leave imdiately. If we delay, who knows what might happen," Zheng Yuan said, his expression turning grave.
"But we’ve already co this far. Leaving now feels like giving up," Chen Tao countered, his gaze fixed on the sky’s transformation.
"The path of cultivation—fortune and misfortune are intertwined. How can we know what awaits us, whether blessing or curse, without daring to venture forth?" Shen Shiqi narrowed his eyes, showing no intention of leaving.
"Hahaha, indeed!" Yang Hao laughed aloud. Glancing at his bandaged wound, then up at the sky, he chuckled, "I’m also curious—what exactly is waiting for us?"
Xiao Junyan shielded Yun Qi behind him, silent but inwardly debating whether to send her away first.
Yun Qi, however, kept her eyes fixed upward. Suddenly, as the mirror-like object in the sky began surging downward, sucking toward them, her expression changed. "Quick, get out of the way!"
The mont the words left her mouth, she grabbed Xiao Junyan and sprinted away. Shen Shiqi and the others, seeing them dash in one direction, imdiately sprinted off in the opposite direction. But just then, a powerful suction force pulled down from above, violently drawing them all in.
"Ah!"
"Whoosh!"
They felt the undulating waves in the sky ripple briefly, like ripples spreading across a mirror-like lake surface. In that instant, it sucked them all in, then vanished as quickly as it had appeared, returning to stillness.
"Ah!"
Amidst the cries of alarm, two figures crashed to the ground. Xiao Junyan, shielding Yun Qi, used his own body as a cushion for her impact. The force of her fall struck him hard, causing him to grunt in pain.
"Big Brother Xiao? Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Yue’er regained her senses, realizing she’d landed on top of him, her entire body cradled in his arms. His body had cushioned her fall, preventing any serious injury, so she quickly scrambled to her feet.
"I’m fine. What about you?" Xiao Junyan asked, sitting up and glancing around. But that single glance made his eyes narrow slightly.
"I’m fine too."
Yue’er replied, glancing around curiously. "Big Brother Xiao, where is this place? How could such a location exist within the secret realm? I recall we were sucked in earlier. Shen Shiqi and the others seem to have vanished—no idea where they went."
"If I’m not mistaken, this should be the Arcadia Immortal Abode within the secret realm," he said, taking her hand. "Follow . Be careful." Thus, holding her hand, he led her deeper inside.
But just then, several streaks of sword energy whistled toward them. Xiao Junyan, who was in front, felt a chill in his heart. He swiftly pushed Yun Qi aside. The very instant he shoved her away, a fierce sword energy streaked past where Yun Qi had just stood.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several more blades shot out from within, splitting into two streams to attack Xiao Junyan and Yun Qi. As Yun Qi dodged and retreated to the side, she saw the blades already heading toward Xiao Junyan. At that very mont, a thick cloud of smoke billowed up from the cave abode, instantly obscuring their vision.
