"Zijian! Are you alright?!" Gu Yuanchao finally rushed to his son's side, his burly body heaving with heavy breathing. He helped Gu Zijian up and eagerly searched his body for him.

Despite the aches and pains all over his body, Gu Zijian shook his head vigorously: "Dad, I'm fine! It's just a flesh wound! Go after that woman! Don't let her get away! Fifth Young Master went after her alone!"

Gu Yuanchao quickly glanced at his son and confirmed that he was not seriously injured. It was obvious that Qingluo had not gone all out to capture Gu Zijian, or that the timely rescue by Rock Breathing and Chenmu had interrupted the attack.

He felt slightly relieved, but his anger intensified.

"Alright! Dad will go after them first! You hide over there with your Master Xin, watch out for spiders! Dad will check you over carefully later!" Gu Yuanchao patted his son's shoulder hard, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

Immediately, he turned around abruptly, his soul power erupting once more, and followed the direction in which Qingluo and Chenmu disappeared, as well as the traces of destruction along the way, chasing after them with a thunderous roar.

As the steward of the inner quarters, I must not allow this dangerous individual to continue wreaking havoc and causing destruction within the fortress!

Watching Gu Yuanchao and Chen Mu's disappearing figures, Gu Zijian's tense nerves completely relaxed, and a huge sense of exhaustion and relief at surviving a disaster welled up in his heart.

He actually managed to withstand two blows from a Soul Emperor, and even managed to knock away her spider silk... He grinned, revealing a smile.

However, before the joy could fully bloom on his face, a chilling rustling sound came from all around.

Several small spiders, drawn by the battle, were slowly crawling towards him from behind the scattered food pile and the broken cutting board, their mouthparts dripping with venom.

Gu Zijian's smile froze on his face.

"Is this never going to end..." he cursed under his breath, gritting his teeth and enduring the aches and pains all over his body, as he quickly picked up the heavy meat-hanging iron hook from the ground.

Although the chains were cold and heavy, and his arm muscles were still trembling, he once again assumed a defensive stance, and the rhythm of Rock Breathing struggled to restart within his exhausted body.

The battle is not over yet.

……

Chen Mu used various footwork techniques to keep close behind Qing Luo.

His speed was indeed a notch faster than Qingluo's. The sharpness of the Seven Kill Sword emitted a clear and melodious hum under the impetus of soul power, and each step brought a faint sonic boom.

"Where do you think you're going!" Chen Mu shouted, his long sword thrusting swiftly. The azure sword light precisely severed a dark green spider silk that had shot from the side beam and was trying to trip him.

The spider silk snapped instantly, but Qingluo's figure had already disappeared around the next corner.

Ahead lies a more complex storage area.

Tall shelves stand in rows, piled with dusty sacks, old empty wooden barrels, and various other odds and ends, creating countless shadows and obstacles for people to maneuver around in.

This is the perfect battlefield for Qingluo to leverage its strengths.

Qingluo didn't engage in pointless fighting.

Her Luo Yan Steps appeared even more eerie in the narrow space. Her figure would sometimes skim along the ground, and sometimes use the vertical shelf surface for leverage to walk. With each light touch of her toes, several spider silk threads would precisely stick to the support points in the distance.

Using spider silk to instantly change direction, and even achieve near-right-angle turns, is her trump card for escaping straight-line pursuit.

Although Chen Mu was fast in a straight line and constantly cut in with the Seven Star Steps, he was repeatedly put at a distance by Qing Luo's sudden changes of direction in this complex environment. He had to frequently swing his sword to cut through the spider webs blocking his way or shatter the debris that Qing Luo kicked and hurled at him.

The blue sword light flickered erratically in the dark passage, like chasing after a fleeting firefly.

Fifth Soul Skill: Thousand-Eyed Soul-Seizing Array!

Qingluo sensed the sharp sword energy approaching from behind again. Without turning her head, she launched a mental attack. Hundreds of ghostly green demonic eyes on her back suddenly lit up, and an invisible wave of mental energy swept backward.

Chen Mu's pursuit suddenly halted. Illusions appeared before his eyes, as if countless twisted spider shadows were rushing towards him. A tremor and a sense of sluggishness came from the depths of his soul.

He snorted, and the Seven Kill Sword shone with a brilliant blue light. His fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up with a deep radiance: "Fourth Spirit Skill - Seven Kill Annihilation!"

The sword intent of annihilation erupted instantly, not only forcefully shattering the distorted spider illusion in front of it, but also combining soul power and mental attack to draw a condensed dark blue sword light, which struck Qingluo's back with the force of annihilation!

Just as the sword light was about to strike her, Qingluo shot out several more spider silk threads that stuck to the high beam, and her whole body swung upwards like a light swing.

The deadly, dark blue sword light narrowly missed the air beneath her, striking the stacked cargo boxes behind her with tremendous force, exploding into a cloud of splintered wood and dust.

However, she let out a muffled groan, but the edge of the sword still grazed her left shoulder armor, leaving a crack.

But with this maneuver, she vanished completely into the shadows atop the layers of shelves.

"Cunning!" Chen Mu's eyes flashed, and he forcibly suppressed the aftershocks of the mental shock. He exerted force with his feet, directly smashing open a stack of empty wooden barrels blocking his way, and continued to chase after them, following the faint sound of wind breaking and the fluctuations of soul power above.

Not far behind, heavy footsteps approached rapidly like drumbeats. Gu Yuanchao's burly figure ruthlessly smashed through all obstacles in his path, scattering gravel and wood chips everywhere.

His eyes were bloodshot as he locked onto the two rapidly moving soul energy auras ahead. His explosive power made him incredibly fast over short distances, almost keeping up with Chen Mu.

Further back, Zuo Jinhua's figure resembled a dark golden ghost, its speed both stable and deadly.

With his Soul Saint-level perception and the mental lock provided by the Ferocious Ghost Golden Sheep Martial Soul, he precisely navigated the chaotic path. Occasionally, he would swing the Ghost Gold Soul Splitting Sword, easily severing any remaining spider web traps, and steadily closing the distance between himself and the two people in front of him.

Chen Shurui and Chen Bin were a step behind. The two worked together seamlessly, their swords flashing in the light of dawn and shadow as they cleared out the small groups of demonic spiders along the way and quickly advanced in the direction the main force was pursuing.

Chen Shurui's Radiant Sword Light had a slight purifying and restraining effect on the Demon Spider, effectively cleaning up the trail for the team.

The green ivy moves at high speed on the top of the shelf, its eight thorns giving it super stability and gripping power.

She glanced back occasionally, feeling immense pressure, and dared not linger for a moment. She lightly touched a crossbeam with her toes, using the momentum to propel herself into the darker, more secluded area of ​​the warehouse, filled with enormous boxes and cabinets.

At the same time, she flicked several dark green halos backward with her hand.

"Summon the Demon Spider!"

The ground churned again, and dark green poisonous spiders crawled out, hissing. Although they didn't form a large-scale spider swarm, they were enough to slightly slow down the pursuers, especially Chen Shurui and Chen Bin, who were slower.

Chen Mu stared intently at the dark green light and shadow that was faintly visible in the shadows ahead, feeling the lingering cold soul energy fluctuations in the air.

He took a deep breath, pushed his speed to the limit, and closed the distance to his prey once again.
