Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

At this moment, Shen Mo and his companions had passed through the dangerous spatial rift and appeared in a dangerous area on the edge of the Chaos Sea, where the energy turbulence was even more violent and the spatial rifts flashed like black lightning from time to time.

Looking back, the path they came from had completely vanished, leaving only a chaotic energy storm roaring.

"Pfft!" As soon as he regained his footing, Shen Mo could no longer suppress his anger and spat out another mouthful of blood. His aura instantly weakened to the extreme, and he almost couldn't stand. Shi Tie and Su Xiao quickly supported him on either side.

"Sect Leader, Senior Brother!"

"I'm alright... Quick, let's go! They'll be here soon!" Shen Mo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, swallowed a few life-saving pills made by Li Xiaocao, his eyes burning with an indomitable spirit and the relief of surviving a disaster. "Let's go to that 'Meteor Cliff' we found before! There's a broken restriction left by Ancestor Liuyun there; it might be able to shield our presence for a moment!"

At the edge of the Chaos Sea, at Meteor Cliff.

This is a treacherous land formed by countless fragments of broken stars. It is rugged with strange rocks and extremely unstable space. Fine spatial cracks, like black electric snakes, appear and disappear in the void, emitting a hissing sound that makes one's teeth ache.

The raging energy turbulence relentlessly eroded the cliff face, whipping up a sky full of colorful, yet deadly, spiritual storms.

This place was an abandoned guard post left by Ancestor Liuyun, which Zhao Qingyan discovered by chance during her previous exploration. It still retains some faint concealment restrictions.

Taking advantage of the brief concealment provided by the broken barrier, Shen Mo and his companions finally gained a moment to catch their breath. Shen Mo sat cross-legged behind a relatively flat boulder, his face as pale as paper, his breathing disordered, as he focused all his energy on healing his injuries and suppressing the severe backlash caused by forcibly activating the source of his cave.

Shi Tie, Su Xiao, and Zhao Qingyan formed a triangular formation to guard the outside, each swallowing pills to quickly recover their spiritual energy, but the fatigue and solemnity in their eyes lingered. Each of them was stained with blood and dust, looking quite disheveled.

"Sect Leader, your injury..." Su Xiao looked at the blood seeping from the corner of Shen Mo's mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.

"It's alright... I won't die yet." Shen Mo opened his eyes, suppressing the metallic taste in his throat. His voice was hoarse but carried an undeniable firmness. "The people from the Blazing Sun Sect... will not let this go easily, and they will be here soon. The restrictions on Meteor Cliff are broken, and we can't hide it for long."

His gaze swept over the three men, and he quickly said, "We must use the complex environment here to stall them! A direct confrontation is the worst strategy. Our goal is to buy time, find an opportunity to cross the outer edge of the Chaos Sea, and head to the abandoned medicine garden marked on the map that might contain fragments of the 'Boundary-Stabilizing Compass'!"

"But Sect Leader, that old monster Chiyang is, after all, a Golden Core cultivator. How can we possibly deal with him?" Shi Tie asked in a muffled voice. Even with his fierce courage, he felt powerless in the face of a Golden Core cultivator.

"So what if he's a Golden Core cultivator?" A cold glint flashed in Shen Mo's eyes. "This is the Flowing Cloud Secret Realm, the Chaos Sea! The space is chaotic, the laws are in conflict. It's uncertain how much power his Golden Core domain can unleash here! But we have the advantage of terrain!"

"Qingyan, immediately investigate the remaining restrictions here, repair and strengthen them as much as possible, and set up illusion and trapping arrays. No need to kill, just disrupt and slow down their perception and speed!"

"Yes! Senior Brother Sect Leader!" Zhao Qingyan mustered her spirits, immediately stood up, and began to carefully sense the broken array patterns around her as her fingertips flickered with spiritual light.

"Junior Sister Xiao," Shen Mo then looked at Su Xiao, "your keen senses are crucial; you'll be responsible for keeping watch and predicting their pursuit routes. Junior Brother Tie, you come with me to prepare for battle. Utilize the terrain here for guerrilla warfare! Remember, strike and retreat immediately, never engage in prolonged combat!"

"Understood!" Su Xiao and Shi Tie nodded emphatically.

Just as Shen Mo finished outlining the tactics, five powerful auras rapidly approached from the distant, chaotic mist, like wildfire!

True Immortal Chiyang took the lead, releasing his Golden Core spiritual pressure without reservation. Wherever he passed, the violent energy turbulence was forcibly pushed aside, forming a brief "channel"!

However, his expression was even more gloomy than before, clearly indicating that he was quite annoyed by the environment of the Chaotic Sea during the tracking process.

"Found them! They're on that cliff over there! Their aura is weak; they seem to be badly injured!" The Crimson Sky Immortal's divine sense swept across Meteorite Cliff, a cruel smile appearing on his face. "Master, please allow me to go and capture and kill them!"

The Crimson Sun Immortal's indifferent gaze pierced through the mist, landing on Meteorite Cliff. He coldly snorted, "Insignificant ants, indeed cunning, knowing how to exploit this terrain. However, before absolute power, all tricks are futile! Crimson Sky, you take two and launch a frontal assault. I will personally seal off all four sides. Let's see where they can escape to!"

"Yes, sir!" Crimson Sky Venerable sneered, selecting two Foundation Establishment mid-stage disciples who transformed into three streaks of crimson light, like three burning meteors, directly crashing into Meteorite Cliff! The other two Blazing Sun Sect disciples dispersed, subtly forming an encirclement.

The Crimson Sun Immortal hovered in the air, his divine sense forming a net that enveloped the entire Meteor Cliff area, preventing Shen Mo and the others from using spatial escape techniques again.

"They're here! Three in front, led by Chi Xiao! They're flanking from the left and right, with Old Monster Chi Yang bringing up the rear in the air!" Su Xiao's urgent voice rang in Shen Mo's mind.

"Proceed according to plan!" A glint flashed in Shen Mo's eyes as he suddenly stood up. Although his internal injuries had not yet healed, a powerful fighting spirit soared into the sky! He activated the Flowing Cloud Dao Body to its fullest extent, and his body was surrounded by flowing azure light, creating a subtle resonance with the chaotic secret realm space.

"boom!"

The three members of the Crimson Cloud Cultivator boldly crashed into the area of ​​Meteor Cliff! However, the moment they stepped in, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed!

The once clear outlines of the mountains and rocks became blurred, and thick white mist appeared out of nowhere, with sword light flashing and thunder rumbling, mixed with eerie whispers that disturbed the mind!

"A mere trick! Break!" The experienced Master Chixiao immediately recognized it as an illusion array. He roared and summoned a crimson mirror. Wherever the mirror's light shone, the illusions vanished! But in that brief moment of delay, Shen Mo and Shi Tie's figures had already disappeared.

"Watch out! There's an ambush!" A mid-Foundation Establishment disciple of the Blazing Sun Sect suddenly felt his feet sink into the ground, which then collapsed, and countless gleaming stone spikes shot out from the ground!

He hurriedly parried with his sword, and although he was not injured, he was still flustered. It was Zhao Qingyan's hastily set up "Stone Spike Array".

"Hiding your head and showing your tail! Get out here!" Crimson Cloud Venerable roared in fury, a giant axe burning with raging flames appeared in his hand, and he cleaved it down towards the thickest part of the fog! The violent axe light tore through the fog and shattered a cliff into pieces!

However, after the axe's edge flashed, a sharp, incomparably powerful, pale blue sword aura, seemingly capable of cleaving through space, silently shot out from the shadows behind him, aiming straight for his ribs! It was Shen Mo's long-awaited "Flowing Cloud Slash"!

"Hmm?" After all, Master Chixiao was at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and his reaction was extremely fast. Sensing the danger, he swung his giant axe and blocked the sword at the last second!

Clang! The deafening sound of metal clashing against metal was deafening! Sword energy and axe light clashed wildly, exploding into a terrifying shockwave!

Crimson Cloud Venerable swayed slightly, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes. The power of this sword strike far surpassed that of an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!

What alarmed him even more was that the sword energy contained a strange and unpredictable Daoist charm that could deflect force and neutralize energy, which made him feel a sense of suffocation as if he had nowhere to exert force!
