My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Lu Xizhou gazed in the direction where Shi Renzong and the others had left, and murmured, "I hope they can leave safely and without any further accidents."

Ji Daoyun's two arrows hit Gui Yu, who was now barely breathing. He thought of his beloved second sister and did not regret his actions today.

Several disciples of Taibai Pavilion had already stepped forward and dragged Gui Yu to the back, and it was unknown whether Gui Yu would be cured.

Lu Xizhou didn't know if Ji Daoyun's power was enough to kill Gui Yu, but he hoped that the damage caused by the artifact would be fatal.

Lu Xizhou was the eldest son of the Lu family, so he naturally had no shortage of rare treasures. His magical artifacts were also of a high grade. He could withstand an attack with just one magical artifact for an hour.

However, it wouldn't be good for the few dozen people from Taibai Pavilion and Canghai Realm to be tied up here. Not only do they have more than that, but they are outnumbered and can wear down several of them. It's not worth it.

Ji Daoyun and his companions never intended to perish together with dozens of others. Their goal was to help other cultivators within the secret realm resolve the Gu worms within their bodies and then leave the secret realm.

What they wanted was to hold out for a while, preventing the enemy from immediately pursuing and harming Shirenzong, Baiyuzhai, and Beiwenji.

Ji Daoyun wasn't one to hold back. He could tell that Kong Shi had been cultivating diligently and that Chu Jun was short of money after such a depletion, so he said, "Cheer up, take these magical artifacts and use them."

He took out several magical artifacts and handed them to the group, instructing them to use them to withstand the attacks.

He remained calm and composed: "Chu Jun, Kong Shi, come into the defensive formation."

The battered and bruised Chu Jun helped Kong Shi approach Ji Daoyun, only to see him take out several talismans he had never seen before.

"Kongshi, you are seriously injured, so you shouldn't stay here any longer."

Ji Daoyun handed him a talisman and said, "This is a teleportation talisman that my master gave me to save my life. It ignores most restrictions, and if nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to cross the sealed Guangxu Secret Realm and directly arrive at the Bu Rong Mountain of the Shi Ren Sect."

Once you arrive at the Shiren Sect, please inform our two sect leaders about the situation here. I don't need to emphasize anything else; I'm sure you already know.

Everyone showed expressions of surprise and joy. Kong Shi's face was full of relief at surviving the ordeal. He tightly gripped the talisman, almost crying with joy.

Ji Daoyun continued working, distributing the remaining talismans to the others: "The rest are teleportation talismans that I drew in the secret realm. After using them, we will go to the place where the Shiren Sect enters the secret realm, which is in the northwest direction of the secret realm."

Although we don't know what the situation is like there, it's still better than being stuck here like we are now.

Lin Zhuzui looked hesitant: "But if we leave, won't these people catch up with us?"

Ji Daoyun asked indifferently, "Are you really willing to risk your life for a few mere enemies?"

Tell me, should we stay here and fight to the death, or should we leave to save more cultivators?

"Do you really think that killing these thirty-odd people will ensure our fellow disciples are safe in the secret realm?"

“Disciple, disciple…” Lin Zhuzui was startled. He suddenly realized that he didn’t seem to know Ji Daoyun that well either.

Cracks appeared in the defensive magic weapon in Chu Jun's hand. He said to Lin Zhuzui, "Fellow Daoist, I know you can't let go of our fellow disciples, but we have done enough. We still have other things to accomplish."

I don't believe that so many of them can't handle an enemy without the threat of monsters.

What are they whispering about?

Jing Yongde said impatiently, "What other magical artifacts do you have? Use them quickly! You can't even kill five people, it's truly shameful!"

"Disgraceful? If you're not disgraceful, why haven't we seen you do anything to them?!"

Jiang Jingyi was so angry that his chest felt tight. It was already annoying enough that he couldn't kill these people, but his own people were doing nothing. It was infuriating!

Xin Si frowned deeply: "What kind of nonsense is this?!"

"What kind of talismans are those in their hands?" Sang Xinrong felt a sense of unease. "Could they be Void-Splitting Talismans?"

"Hmph!" Yi Liangcai sneered coldly, "Do they dare to use the Sky-Splitting Talisman in the secret realm?"

No sooner had Yi Liangcai finished speaking than a flash of light appeared before their eyes, and their attack missed its mark.

Where are Ji Daoyun and the others now?

"What?!" "They really used the Sky-Splitting Talisman?"

"Seriously? Aren't you afraid of getting stuck in a spacetime rift and never getting out?"

"This isn't a space-splitting talisman, is it? Could they be using a teleportation talisman?"

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, and their words were quite heated.

Xin Si gritted his teeth and said, "Even a teleportation talisman can't break through the restrictions of the secret realm! They must still be inside. Quickly contact disciples from all sides to search for their whereabouts! We absolutely cannot let Ji Daoyun recover!"

Ji Daoyun possesses the divine artifact Heavenly Rain, which is why he inflicted such heavy losses on them this time. This was all because they were caught off guard, and Ji Daoyun also used a secret technique to enhance his cultivation.

If they can find and kill Ji Daoyun before he recovers, and then seize Tian Jiangyu, the Shi Ren Sect will be theirs for the taking. There will be no one in the secret realm who can stop them!

Why are those people so persistent in their pursuit?

Bai Yize looked at the dozen or so people following them not far behind and said with annoyance, "They don't make a move, they just keep following us at a distance, and they run away as soon as we turn around. What's the point of all this?!"

Song Kangnian said worriedly, "If they're just following us, that's fine, but I'm afraid they might try to sabotage us."

Du Sitong fiddled with several talismans in her hand, looking very anxious: "We can handle being tricked, but what if they call in reinforcements to attack us?"

“I contacted some familiar fellow Daoists and told them about our experience. They told everyone not to worry, because maybe we will have allies after we get there. That way, even if we are besieged, we will have a greater chance of winning.”

Zheng Bishui was also someone who enjoyed traveling down the mountain and had a wide network of connections; he actually managed to get in touch with quite a few people.

However, those people were more or less inferior to the disciples of the Shiren Sect, so they seemed to avoid this place at all costs. Even though they knew that this place might be the location to leave the secret realm, few of them agreed.

Ruan Chayan glanced at the hostile enemy, took a deep breath, and exhaled heavily: ["This feeling is terrible. We know there's danger, but we don't know what kind of danger it is."]

Luo Hanying also sighed, toying with the borrowed calligraphy brush between her fingers, her heart heavy: "Let's deal with whatever comes our way."

"Xiange, can't you tell us what kind of danger it is? Even if you don't tell us how to solve it, you should at least tell us what kind of problem it is!"

"I don't need to say anything more," said Xiange. "Look, the problem is right in front of you."
