"Are they not chasing us anymore?" Shang Xinyu inquired after they reached a different location.
"Haha." Shang Yaolin laughed before telling her. "Xinyu, Long'er has the teleportation ability that he inherited from his father, so you don't have to worry about those people, especially since they've lost track of us now."
"That's right, Big Sis Xinyu." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then looked into the distance. "We're already halfway to the northern city, but we shouldn't rush to that city, especially since they might have partners there. For the ti being, I want to look for herbs in this area, and we'll go there after the situation has cald down."
Both won agreed with that, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] imdiately led them to another area, especially since i found a lot of herbs there.
.

anwhile, Ye Hu and the other two had arrived at a hut where a demi-human man with the appearance of a black bear was waiting for them. They then reported the presence of Zhang Xiaolong [3] and the two won to him. "What should we do, Big Brother Xiong Ju?"
"Hmm?" Xiong Ju pondered briefly before issuing the order. "Based on their route and their herb-hunting activities, I believe they intend to go to the northern city. Therefore, you should go there and instruct our team to monitor the entire area. Once the three of them appear, you must capture them imdiately. I don't care about the two won, but that male fox's ability seems interesting, so I want to recruit him into our group."
"Big Brother, may we have the two won?"
Xiong Ju nodded to them. "Don't waste any more ti and go to that city, or they will escape, and we will have a hard ti finding them."

Even though they were only sovereign-rank beasts, Bai Chongxi and his two siblings were overwheld by the beasts blocking them in one room, especially since there were too many of them and they had fought other enemies many tis before.
"Big brother, there are too many of them, so we should retreat now to rest first." Bai Renfu spoke as he attacked one of the beasts.
Bai Shouyi agreed with his second brother. "After we rest, we can fight them again."
"All right." Bai Chongxi imdiately ordered the remaining mbers of their group to retreat outside, and they rested there. "Swallow recovery pills, especially since we've wasted so much ti."
.
.
.
In another area, Huangfu Lian's group was overwheld by the strange creatures in front of them, particularly due to their exhaustion from fighting nurous enemies and avoiding nurous traps.
In the end, Huangfu Lian decided to retreat and rest first before fighting them again, but one of the strange creatures suddenly sprayed a black liquid from its mouth, which directly hit the backs of Huang Xiaoying and Huang Xiaoi.
"Retreat!" Huangfu Lian shouted as he hurled an artifact at the strange creatures, causing them to bounce against the back wall. He and Huangfu Xiaofan then helped their two sisters out, but Huang Xiaoying and Huang Xiaoi right away fell unconscious.
*Tear... Tear..*
Huangfu Lian imdiately laid them on their stomachs and tore the backs of their dresses, but his expression beca serious once he saw the black liquid begin to enter their bodies.
"What kind of black liquid is this, Big Brother?"
"I don't know; I've never seen it before." Huangfu Lian imdiately took out so pills, forced the two won to swallow them, and then pressed his palms on their backs to remove the black liquid from their bodies. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain, and the black liquid spread even faster, so he decided to seal it inside their bodies to prevent it from spreading further. "Xiaofan, we have no other choice but to surrender, or else they will die."
Huang Xiaofan nodded in agreent with that. "Our father will definitely be furious because we failed to capture Xian Xianwu, Xian Xianqing, and Yun Xinyue. However, Xiaoying and Xiaoi's lives are more important, so we should give up. As for Zhang Fei, we can tell him about that guy, and he will definitely send people to capture him later."
"Yeah." Huangfu Lian imdiately raised his hand and shouted upwards, and all of them right away disappeared from that place before being sent out of the tower.
Huangfu Shou's people imdiately approached them, and they swiftly brought all of them back to their kingdom at full speed, especially given the concerning condition of the two princesses.

After being trapped in the mirror for a whole day, Zhou Tong finally managed to find his way out, but he was no longer in the previous room, and he was sent to another room, separating him from his two siblings and group.
"Fuck! What an annoying trap!" Even so, Zhou Tong felt fortunate to find the second key in the mirror, but he still needed to locate his group before he could enter the core area.
*Tap... Tap...*
Zhou Tong imdiately turned towards the sound of the footsteps, but he right away bowed to them. "Prince Hongwu and Princess Yueliang."
"Where are your other mbers? Why aren't they here?" Zhou Tong imdiately explained to Xin Hongwu about their situation. "In that case, you could join us to find the way to the gate faster."
"Yes, Prince."
As he led them, Xin Hongwu asked his sister a question. 'Are you interested in turning this guy into your puppet?'
'No.' Xin Yueliang answered by shaking her head. 'This guy's cultivation is indeed high, but he is just a useless man, and his family is under our control, so I have no interest in him. We are still having difficulty attacking the Xian Kingdom, so I want Xian Xianwu as my puppet, and I will use him to help our parents destroy his kingdom. As for Zhang Fei, I will not hand him over to anyone, and I will keep him by my side to serve .'
'You're already captivated by Zhang Fei, huh?' Xin Hongwu comnted by shaking his head.
'Hehe.' Xin Yueliang giggled in response. 'He is handso and talented, and all won will undoubtedly be attracted to him, including .'
Xin Hongwu released a heavy sigh at her answer, and he asked them to speed up their pace, especially since he wanted to reach the gate to the core area as quickly as possible.

The other two royal mbers of the Zhou Kingdom had also managed to get out of the mirror, but Zhou Tai's condition was already very weak because his little sister had absorbed so much of his life and soul powers.
At first, Zhou iling thought that they would et Zhou Tong after getting out of the place, so she didn't kill Zhou Tai directly, but they were sent to another area instead. Since they were separated from their big brother, she decided to kill her second brother by absorbing his remaining life and soul powers, causing his body to dry up.
"Hehehe! This way, Zhou Tong and their father will not suspect , and I will kill them one by one after I return to their kingdom." Zhou iling then left the room, but she ran into Xin Yan's group, who had just co out of the darkness. "Prince Yan."
"Hmm?" Xin Yan turned to Zhou iling directly, but he raised his eyebrows before ordering Qian Ying. "If she tries to do sothing, you can kill her straight away."
Zhou iling was shocked to hear that, but she imdiately stepped back when Qian Ying turned to her. 'What the heck is going on with this guy? Doesn't this little girl's family have a good relationship with his family? Why did he order his right-handed woman to kill her?'
"Move." Xin Yan imdiately led his group in front, but Qian Ying moved behind Zhou iling, forcing her to follow them.
'Damn it! I have to think of a way to escape from them. ' Zhou iling grumbled in her heart.
Zhou iling didn't have to wait long as they entered a room full of strange creatures. Qian Ying had to assist Xin Yan's group, so she imdiately fled from them.
"Aren't you going to stop her?" Qian Ying asked as she started attacking those creatures.
Xin Yan personally engaged in combat with their adversaries. "That girl has been possessed by one of the souls locked in this tower, and that soul is very evil, so we don't need to think about her."
"I see."
After she managed to escape from them, Zhou iling rushed to find a way out of the inner area.

Li Yao's group finally succeeded in capturing the largest aquatic beast in the lake after spending so much ti trapped. To their surprise, the second key was in the beast's body, and they were imdiately sent out to another room after they got it.
When they appeared in the room, Xian Qifeng and Luo Qinglin's group, who had just completed their test in the wilderness, also arrived there.
"Why are you all so exhausted, Qinglin?" Li Yao asked Luo Qinglin, who imdiately told her about their previous test. "Our group also got a similar test, but we were a little luckier than you guys, and we only needed to lure the largest aquatic beast."
"You guys are really lucky." Luo Qinglin then asked her husband. "How about we rest first? We're all very exhausted now, and there's no way we can fight off the enemies that might co our way."
"Yeah, we'll take a break first." Xian Qifeng then turned to Li Yao and the others. "What if we move together? That way, we can face other obstacles more easily, and we might be able to find a way out faster."
"Sure." Since the Yun and Xian Kingdoms had a good relationship, Li Yao imdiately agreed with Xian Qifeng, and they rested together in the room to recover their condition.

Xian Yu and Xian Mu's group also managed to pass their hurdles on the scales after trying for a whole day, but so of them died in the test after they fell into the fiery crater below them.
They arrived in the sa room as the group of the natural races, who were resting inside. However, Xian Yu and Xian Mu refrained from approaching them due to the clear hostility of Zheng Ru and the group, leading their mbers to take a rest on the opposite side.
Xian Jinglan, the elf princess, observed them repeatedly and discovered a demon aura emanating from their bodies. 'Their father's decision to join Xin Gongfu was truly foolish, but it's puzzling how they managed to conceal that aura from Emperor Xian and his wife. If they had known about that, they would have imprisoned these two kids.'
"Guys, it's ti for us to leave, as demon scents have contaminated this place." Xi Xianzi abruptly spoke as she floated away, and her group mbers swiftly followed suit.
'Big Brother, did they notice the demon aura on our bodies?' Xian Mu inquired, his gaze fixed on the group of natural races.
Xian Yu nodded with a frown. 'The natural races possess such abilities, so they must have detected it. However, we don't need to worry about them, especially since they won't ddle in our affairs.' "Let's rest now, and we'll continue our journey afterward."
"Yes."
.
.

Unlike their groups, the group from the Beast Kingdom did not look tired at all. They were more interested in exploring the maze and were in no hurry to get to the exit because they kept encountering new, powerful opponents, so Long Chen kept leading them forward without rest.

Zhang Fei let out a soft sigh after the two notifications appeared, but he then turned to his group mbers. "Since you've all recovered, we should move now because ti is ticking, and the other groups are probably far ahead, so we should catch up with them."
All of them were already bored and fed up with the situation in the test, so they imdiately agreed with him, and Zhang Fei hurriedly led them to the room at the end of the path in front of them. There, they encountered dozens of beasts in the sovereign realm, but their cultivation in the seven divine realms made it no big deal, and they imdiately slaughtered their enemies without rcy.
After they collected the items that appeared, they hurriedly continued their journey through the only path in front of them. Ti passed quickly, and they had already traversed several other rooms. They repeatedly encountered nurous enemies, which forced them to engage in combat.
On the map, Zhang Fei saw that they had reached the middle of the inner area, but they hadn't found the second key, so they focused on finding it first.
After they passed through several more rooms, they finally found the second key in the next room, but they were once again faced with a riddle question to retrieve it.
"I reveal your flaws, yet I hold no judgnt. Look into , and you may see eternity. Destroy , and you shatter yourself. What am I?"
"Hehe." Bai Tian'er chuckled after she read the question. "This question is too easy for because our master once said sothing similar, and the answer is our inner self."
*Rumble... Rumble...*
Instantly, the wall blocking the key disappeared by itself, and Zhang Fei imdiately pulled it into his hand. "Now we have no business in the inner area, so we can focus on finding the gate to the core area."
"By the way, we have to prepare for the worst once we enter the core area." Zhang Fei turned to Bai Tian'er, who imdiately provided him with an explanation. "We will face one last test in the core area by fighting the gatekeeper, but the beast is powerful and has many strange abilities, including the ability to use soul attacks. Back then, it took us two days to defeat it, but we had several other soul cultivators at that ti. Unfortunately, you and I were the only soul cultivators in our group this ti, so we had to work hard to protect the others while attacking it."
"If we take too long to defeat it, the other groups might arrive there, and the situation will beco chaotic for us, especially since they might take advantage of that to attack us." Ying Shanhu added.
Zhang Fei frowned for a mont before turning to Xian Changyue. "Senior, if that happens, you can concentrate on shielding us from their attacks, and we will battle the beast."
"All right, leave them to ."
Zhang Fei then led them out of the room, but they unexpectedly fell into a trap that even his system couldn't detect. The trap sent them straight into a mini-maze, which was filled with demons. Moreover, they were separated from each other, so they were forced to fight them one by one in order to leave the place.
Zhang Fei imdiately summoned the demon extermination sword because his first opponent was a pure giant demon with an inhuman appearance, and the demon's rank was the sa as his at the duke rank.
However, the soul of a young boy suddenly appeared above the demon's head, causing Zhang Fei to raise his eyebrows. "Please free us from this place, Big Brother."
"Who are you? How did you get trapped here? What do you an by us?" Zhang Fei inquired with heightened vigilance, but the demon extermination sword continued to vibrate, seemingly eager to slay the demon before them.
The young boy shook his head at Zhang Fei. "I don't rember my na, and I don't rember how I ended up in this place. I hope you can free us by killing this demon, which is an amalgamation of the souls of many people imprisoned here, or else we will remain imprisoned here."
"All right, I will free you all." After using his demon eyes, Zhang Fei imdiately held the demon extermination sword with both hands, channeled his light elent into it, and slashed it at the demon.
