I'm accumulating points in the cultivation world.

Outside the house stood dozens of stern-faced cultivators.

They stared at Tang Doudou with icy eyes, as if she were a dead person.

"You bunch of demons, you actually used people for experiments!" Tang Doudou shouted angrily.

The leader sneered, "The law of the jungle prevails. You've ruined our plans, so don't expect to leave here alive today."

"I should be saying that to you!" Tang Doudou said coldly, then activated her rune power.

After saying that, the group attacked at the same time, and dozens of streams of spiritual energy rushed towards Tang Doudou like dragons.

Tang Doudou looked up at the sky. The thunderclouds hadn't arrived. So, it seemed that the Heavenly Dao didn't restrict the power of runes. She could use rune techniques without restraint!

Tang Doudou quickly formed hand seals, and a wall of fire instantly rose up, blocking the attack.

But the opponent's offensive continued unabated, and Tang Doudou gradually found herself struggling.

However, a powerful force then surged into her body. Was this the power of the rune technique?

Tang Doudou used this power to further enhance the power of the runes. Her hands moved even faster as she chanted incantations, and the wall of fire expanded outwards, forcing the cultivators back several steps.

The leading cultivator frowned and whispered, "How did this girl suddenly become so powerful?"

"Attack her! Kill her!"

With a loud shout, the crowd charged forward again.

Tang Doudou pushed her hands forward, and streaks of flame transformed into birds that rushed toward the enemy.

The cultivators all cast shields to defend themselves, but the fiery birds kept attacking, and the shields were on the verge of collapse.

"Not enough, not enough!" Tang Doudou muttered to herself, then activated the power of the runes again, and with a flash, she rushed towards the enemy.

"Kill her! Kill her!"

Tang Doudou charged into the enemy ranks as if they were in an empty field. Rune power enveloped her fists, and each swing brought up a burst of scorching air, causing screams of agony to erupt upon hitting the cultivators.

But the cultivators were not to be outdone. They formed a circle, their spiritual swords flashing with cold light, and together they thrust at Tang Doudou.

Just then, a huge killing formation suddenly appeared beneath Tang Doudou's feet, radiating brilliant light.

"It's a killing formation!" One person had barely finished speaking when he was strangled to death by the formation!

Tang Doudou closed her eyes and, with the help of the formation's power, activated the killing formation!

With the power of the formation, Tang Doudou found it much easier to deal with the enemy. After killing three people, the enemy seemed to have found a way to break the formation.

Tang Doudou sensed that they were concentrating their attack on the weakest point of the formation. With a loud bang, a crack appeared in the killing formation. Seeing this, Tang Doudou hurriedly increased the amount of spiritual energy she poured into the killing formation, attempting to repair the crack.

Tang Doudou, who was in the formation, felt a powerful suction force, as if it was going to drain all the spiritual power out of her body!

As the formation gradually stabilized, Tang Doudou launched another attack and successfully killed three more people.

There are five players left on the field!

Tang Doudou gritted her teeth, her entire body radiating a dazzling red light—the ultimate manifestation of her rune power. She was like a burning flame, and the killing formation was reactivated. The remaining five had no time to dodge and perished instantly!

Tang Doudou felt that all the spiritual energy in her body had been drained, and she collapsed to the ground.

We can't stay here any longer!

Tang Doudou ate a pill, returned to the house, picked up Qian Jingyuan, and fled towards the cave.

Before leaving, Tang Doudou destroyed both the place where she was and the place where Qian Jingyuan was!

As for whether there were any other living people, Tang Doudou no longer had the energy to check.

Tang Doudou brought Qian Jingyuan back to the secret realm, then collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Qian Jingyuan slowly woke up. After waking up, he looked around at his surroundings with some confusion.

He... escaped?

He looked at Tang Doudou, who was sleeping soundly beside him. He only remembered being knocked unconscious by those mysterious people and being drugged.

Perhaps Tang Doudou saved him, but with so many enemies, her master must have appeared as well.

Qian Jingyuan pondered for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Just who are you?"

In her dream, Tang Doudou seemed to hear Master Xukong reading scriptures in her ear, and the scriptures actually began to unfold in her mind.

As Qian Jingyuan was thinking, he suddenly saw the spiritual energy in the air surging towards Tang Doudou. The spiritual energy on Tang Doudou's body actually rose steadily, starting from the Foundation Establishment stage, all the way to the Golden Core stage, then breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, and finally stopping at the late Nascent Soul stage.

Qian Jingyuan looked around in surprise, then watched as Tang Doudou's cultivation level dropped from the Nascent Soul stage until it stopped at the early Golden Core stage!

This...what's going on?

Qian Jingyuan was a little confused, but he was certain that Tang Doudou wasn't in any serious trouble. This was his private sanctuary, and he was safe here; it was more important to heal himself first.

Thinking it over, Qian Jingyuan began to circulate his internal energy to heal his injuries and expel toxins from his body.

Two hours later, Qian Jingyuan had recovered and looked back to find Tang Doudou still sleeping.

"Tang Zhanyue! Get up!" Qian Jingyuan gently shook Tang Doudou, but he couldn't wake her up no matter what he did.

Forget it, it's not comfortable sleeping here, let's go back!

Qian Jingyuan picked up Tang Doudou and returned to the room. He originally thought she would wake up in two or three days, but Tang Doudou slept for seven days in a row.

"Seven days! You can really sleep!" Qian Jingyuan sighed. He had checked Tang Doudou and there was nothing wrong with her body, but she just couldn't wake up.
