Chapter 458 [Earth Mother's Mystic Gold] Extreme Pulling [Two-in-One, Please Subscribe]

In the desolate, nameless abyss.

After Zhou Chun ventured into the abyss, he indeed faced danger at every step, encountering numerous attacks from Gengjin sword energy.

Each of those sword energies was more powerful than a third-tier high-grade spell, and he would have a very difficult time blocking them head-on.

Therefore, in most cases, Zhou Chun can detect and dodge in advance.

After all, these sword energies are attacks formed by the natural laws of this place. Once they miss, it is impossible to continue searching for and pursuing the enemy.

At the same time, when it forms, there are often traces to follow, allowing Zhou Chun, who is sensitive to metal energy, to detect it in advance.

Sometimes, however, the sword energy forms too close together, making it difficult for him to dodge even if he detects it in advance.

Sometimes, several sword energies would even form simultaneously from different directions, attacking him at the same time, making it difficult for him to dodge them all.

In short, despite the many stumbles and falls along the way, Zhou Chun still managed to descend to the bottom of the abyss.

Because of the intense golden aura in the abyss, cultivators' spiritual senses are very difficult to use inside, and prolonged exposure of spiritual senses can easily damage their souls.

So Zhou Chun originally thought the bottom of the abyss would be filled with water.

The desolate desert is barren and lacks life, but it does receive rain.

But when he landed, he discovered that the bottom of the abyss was actually a dry expanse of sand and gravel.

Moreover, these gravel stones did not seem to be ordinary gravel stones; they seemed to contain some kind of extraordinary spiritual metal. Zhou Chun could feel a pure golden energy settling within them.

"This looks somewhat like adamantite ore. Could there have been an adamantite vein here before?"

Looking at the grayish-white ore in his hand with some pale gold specks, Zhou Chun couldn't help but have a guess.

Then he opened his eyes and looked ahead, trying to see clearly the situation in the abyss ahead.

But at the bottom of the abyss, which is thousands of feet deep, there is only complete darkness.

This darkness was clearly mixed with a special power, so that even cultivators with night vision could only see within a hundred feet.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Zhou Chun did not dare to go any further. Instead, he carefully sensed the surroundings and headed towards a place where the metal energy was relatively thin, intending to find a safe place to stay first.

It was at this moment that he suddenly heard a voice coming from the bottom of the abyss.

Upon hearing that voice filled with hatred, his expression changed, realizing that trouble was brewing.

He looked up and quickly saw a streak of blood-red light rapidly falling.

The sword energy that attacked the blood-red light along the way was forcibly dispersed and shattered, as if it could not do anything to the blood-red light at all.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chun's heart sank to the bottom.

But he certainly wouldn't give up hope of survival. Gritting his teeth, he headed straight for the depths of the valley.

Not long after, Zhou Chun saw the owner of the blood-red light and clearly saw the figure of the Blood Bone Puppet.

This made him secretly regretful, wondering why he hadn't chased after the beast back then, which led to it now being used by someone to deal with him.

The same fourth-order puppet is completely different in the hands of a Golden Core cultivator and a Purple Mansion cultivator.

At this moment, under the control of the Golden Core stage demonic cultivator of the Blood Bone Sect, the Blood Bone Puppet not only displayed its supernatural abilities to the fullest, but also seemed to possess infinite magical power.

When those sword energies attacked it, they were either blocked by the white bone shield in its hand or shattered by the white bone battle axe in its hand.

Even if something were to fall upon it, it would hardly cause much damage to its skeletal demonic body, which had been forged through countless trials and tribulations.

It must be said that when it comes to exploring dangerous places, puppets do possess an advantage that cultivators do not have.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhou Chun no longer hesitated and immediately released the giant tiger puppet, then rode it at full speed.

Along the way, numerous sword energies launched fierce attacks on Zhou Chun and the giant tiger puppet, but they were all withstood by the giant tiger puppet's tough puppet body and defensive abilities.

After venturing deep into the valley for dozens of miles, the scene ahead changed once again.

Suddenly, the width of the abyss nearly doubled, and its depth increased by several hundred feet.

As soon as the giant tiger puppet flew into it, it was suddenly attacked by several powerful sword energies. Even with its supernatural powers, it was unable to completely block these sword energies and was slashed by them, leaving several cracks on its body.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun's expression first changed, then he was overjoyed.

He hurriedly controlled the giant tiger puppet back to the area it had come from, then glanced at the blood bone puppet relentlessly pursuing him, and instantly had an idea.

He controlled the giant tiger puppet to stand still in the abyss and waited. After a short while, he had a formal encounter with the blood bone puppet.

Upon seeing Zhou Chun standing atop the giant tiger puppet, the Blood Bone Puppet suddenly slowed its pace.

Then it opened and closed its mouth, vibrating the air to produce a sound, saying, "Young man, why aren't you running away? I want to see just how capable you are to have killed my Wuji son!"

"Oh, are you Yan Wuji's father? I'm truly sorry to have to let you, an old man, bury your son. I feel deeply apologetic!"

A glint flashed in Zhou Chun's eyes, and he spoke with a hint of mockery.

Sure enough, upon hearing his mocking words, the Blood Bone Puppet, who had previously maintained a haughty demeanor, instantly flew into a rage.

"You're asking for it, kid!"

With a furious roar, he swung his white bone battle axe at Zhou Chun, unleashing a fierce and unparalleled crimson blade of light that pierced through the air.

Zhou Chun, not to be outdone, unleashed a golden beam of light from his giant tiger puppet, striking the crimson blade of light and instantly destroying it in a mutual attack.

Seeing this, the Blood Bone Puppet immediately transformed into a streak of blood light and pounced towards the Puppet Giant Tiger and Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun already knew that the Blood Bone Puppet's fighting style was more inclined towards close combat, so he was not surprised at all. He immediately flashed off the Giant Tiger Puppet and commanded the Giant Tiger Puppet to rush up and fight fiercely with the Blood Bone Puppet.

His giant tiger puppet is capable of both melee and ranged combat, and its spirit crystal energy output is stable, so its combat power will not drop depending on the user's cultivation level.

At this moment, the two puppets were locked in fierce combat, and it was difficult to determine who was superior.

However, under Zhou Chun's deliberate guidance, after the battle lasted for a while, the Blood Bone Puppet began to turn its back to the deep valley where it had previously suffered a fierce attack.

it's time!

Seeing that the Blood Bone Puppet had fallen into the trap, Zhou Chun's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he suddenly launched the Puppet Giant Tiger's ultimate killing move.

The giant puppet tiger first swung its claws, and two golden chains suddenly landed on the blood bone puppet, locking it in place.

Then, golden light gathered and surged from the giant tiger puppet's mouth, and suddenly it spat out a golden beam of light as thick as a bucket, which blasted towards the blood bone puppet.

Faced with such a powerful offensive, the Blood Bone Puppet hurriedly struggled to raise its bone shield to defend itself.

But this time, the power of the golden beam of light seemed inexhaustible, and it quickly blasted the blood bone puppet away, sending it flying back into the deep valley where Zhou Chun had been attacked earlier.

Then the scene Zhou Chun had been waiting for appeared.

Several powerful sword energies appeared out of thin air and slashed directly at the Blood Bone Puppet, which was now powerless to defend itself. They immediately cleaved many parts of its body with cracks, and some of the blood-red runes imprinted on its bones shattered under the pressure.

Before the Bloodbone Puppet could even break free, a dozen white, icy arrows suddenly landed beside it and exploded. The biting cold instantly froze its body and the surrounding air, causing it to fall faster, like a block of ice.

Just as it began to exert its power and shatter the solid ice that had frozen its body, another wave of sharp sword energy slashed towards it.

After absorbing this wave of sword energy, the Blood Bone Puppet developed even more cracks and gaps.

Fortunately, it finally shattered the ice that had frozen it and regained its ability to move.

However, just as it was about to rush up into the deep valley and leave this dangerous place, another lightning blade and a golden beam of light fell down on it from above.

In an instant, the Blood Bone Puppet not only did not rise but fell, plummeting to the bottom of the deep valley.

"Damn it! You despicable brat, I will tear you to pieces!"

A furious roar echoed from the depths of the valley, sounding like a dying wail.

What exactly is the situation in the valley?

Looking down from above, Zhou Chun could only vaguely see flashes of blood-red light, the struggles of the Blood Bone Puppet.

The Blood Bone Puppet then tried several times to rush out of the deep valley, its body covered in wounds, but Zhou Chun ruthlessly knocked it back each time.

After this happened several times, a roar filled with resentment rang out, and then he heard no more sounds.

At the same time, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe who was sitting cross-legged above the abyss suddenly let out a muffled groan and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Then he made several hand gestures on his body, took out a blood-red pill and swallowed it. After a while, he opened his eyes with a slightly pale face.

"What a cunning brat! He knew beforehand how dangerous it was inside, deliberately luring me to fight him on the side, then waiting for an opportunity to knock me down and use the natural defenses of this place to ambush and kill me!"

Anger surged in the eyes of the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe. Recalling what he had seen when he split his soul and controlled the blood bone puppet, he felt both ashamed and furious about being tricked and killed by Zhou Chun.

He had always been arrogant and never took Zhou Chun, a mere junior in the Purple Mansion stage, seriously. He never expected that he would fall into the trap of this junior and be caught off guard!

At this moment, he couldn't help but show a hint of lingering fear, saying, "Luckily, I was cautious and used the Blood Bone Puppet to test the waters first. Otherwise, I might have truly ruined my lifelong reputation at the hands of that brat!"

At this point, he hesitated for a moment, gazing at the abyss below, before shaking his head and saying, "Forget it. Avenging Wuji is important, but I mustn't be harmed. Let me first heal my injuries up here before going down to kill that brat!"

As a member of the demonic path, even with the person who killed his son right in front of him, he could restrain his hatred and prioritize his own safety above all else.

Down in the abyss, Zhou Chun waited for quite a while, but when no one came down, he couldn't help but have many guesses.

He was unaware that the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe had been injured before arriving, but seeing that the man had not come down in his true form, he guessed that the man might be afraid of losing his life and wanted to stall for time.

"Let's see who can outlast whom!"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, and immediately used the giant tiger puppet to dig a hole in the hard cliff below the abyss, where he hid and rested.

The sword energy in this valley is not controlled by anyone. As long as Zhou Chun doesn't move around recklessly or release his aura at will, the chance of being attacked by the sword energy is extremely low.

Time passed slowly, and five days went by in the blink of an eye.

After five days of rest, not only has Zhou Chun fully recovered, but the injuries on his two spirit pets have also mostly healed.

During his escape, he had summoned the Wood Spirit to treat the internal and external injuries of his two spirit pets and fed them a lot of healing pills. Combined with their powerful recovery ability as demon beasts, their recovery speed was something that cultivators could not match at all.

The only thing that worries Zhou Chun now is that the spiritual energy contained in the spirit crystals inside the fourth-order puppet is running low.

At that time, the fourth-tier puppet and the blood bone puppet fought fiercely, almost exhausting the spiritual power of a spirit crystal.

Previously, Zhou Chun had been controlling a fourth-tier puppet to guide him through the abyss, engaging in a fierce battle with the Blood Bone Puppet, which consumed most of the spiritual power of a spirit crystal.

The spirit crystal with the most spiritual power that he currently possesses is actually the one that was initially distributed by the Qinglian Temple.

However, the remaining spiritual energy of this spirit crystal can only support a fourth-tier puppet in full combat for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

If the Golden Core stage cultivator from the Blood Bone Sect who was chasing him were to come down in person, it would be difficult to ensure his safety in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"That deep valley already tricked him once; it's impossible for him to stumble twice in the same place. I need to find another way to increase our chances of winning!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun had an idea and suddenly released the Golden Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone.

After giving his instructions, Stone used the Earth Escape Technique to disappear into the earth below.

It worked!

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun's face immediately lit up with joy.

Originally, the metal energy was concentrated in this place, and he was worried about whether the stone's earth-遁 (earth-遁) technique would be effective.

Now it seems that Stone's earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape from the earth) is even more powerful than he had imagined.

"Perhaps it's also related to the fact that the stone itself possesses both metal and earth attributes!"

Zhou Chun thought to himself, and then waited expectantly for Stone to return.

After waiting for about half an hour, the stone emerged from the ground again, then opened its mouth and spat out several pieces of ore that fell in front of him.

"What are these ores?"

A look of surprise flashed in Zhou Chun's eyes, and he couldn't help but take the few pieces of ore into his hand and examine them carefully.

These ores resembled honeycombs, with countless tiny pores. The outer layer was golden-gray, while the inside was golden-yellow. Zhou Chun could sense that they contained very pure metal elemental spiritual power.

"I feel like I've seen this kind of ore mentioned somewhere before..."

Zhou Chun held the ore in his hand, lowered his head slightly, and began to ponder and recall.

After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the ore in his hand with great surprise, saying, "There's no mistake, this is the top-tier metal-elemental magic material [Earth Mother Profound Gold] recorded in the outer chapter of the 'Golden Cauldron Profound Technique'. It is a top-tier spiritual gold that is on par with [Heavenly One Profound Gold] and [Geng Gold], and is even rarer than the former two!"

【Earth Mother Profound Gold】is extremely rare, and very few people know of its existence. Although it is as precious as top-tier spiritual golds such as 【Geng Gold】 and 【Heaven One Profound Gold】, its reputation is far less widespread than those two.

Zhou Chun had read many books introducing various spiritual metals and strange objects, but very few of them recorded the name "Earth Mother Mysterious Gold". Even when it was mentioned, it was only mentioned by name and compared with things like "Geng Gold", without any record of its specific properties.

The only place with a detailed record of this item is actually the outer chapter of the "Golden Cauldron Mystic Art" that he cultivated.

The outer chapter of "Golden Cauldron Mystic Art" records a method for refining a natal magic weapon called the "Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron." One of the materials required for its refinement is "Earth Mother Mystic Gold," and the quantity must be substantial!

Because it is an essential refining material, the method for refining this magical artifact contains more details about it.

According to the above description, the ore containing "Earth Mother Mysterious Gold" is honeycomb-shaped, gray on the outside and gold on the inside, which perfectly matches the ore in Zhou Chun's hand.

"This really is a case of misfortune turning into a blessing in disguise!"

"I never expected that the [Earth Mother's Mystic Gold] would exist here, and even end up in my hands. Is the heavens helping me?"

Zhou Chun gripped the ore tightly in his hand, his eyes filled with surprise and delight.

Originally, because the Earth Mother Profound Gold was so rare, he had no interest in the Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron, a magic weapon that required this material to be crafted.

He originally planned to refine another type of magic weapon after successfully forming his core, as the materials were relatively easier to collect.

However, now that he has managed to collect the rare spiritual metal [Earth Mother Profound Gold] ahead of time, he naturally wants to choose the more useful and potentially more powerful [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron] as his future natal magic weapon!

"Where did you find this kind of ore? Can you find more?"

Zhou Chun put several pieces of [Earth Mother Mystic Gold] ore into his storage bag and looked at his beloved pet with anticipation, asking questions.

If he wants to refine the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron], his natal magic weapon, he will need to consume a lot of [Earth Mother Profound Gold]. Although these few pieces of ore look quite large, the amount of [Earth Mother Profound Gold] that can actually be extracted will not be too much.

Therefore, he must find more ore.

After hearing Zhou Chun's words, the Golden-Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone quickly told him about its experience after burrowing underground.

Just as he had feared, the dense metal energy in this place had a significant impact on the stone's earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape through metal) ability. It was unable to use earth-遁 to pass through many places where the metal energy was dense.

However, after advancing to the third tier and awakening the bloodline of the Mountain-Bearing Turtle, it also gained the ability to find some treasures in the earth.

He sensed a place rich in gold energy underground, where treasures were hidden, so he went there and used the Mountain-Bearing Turtle's talent to retrieve several pieces of ore.

Those few pieces of ore are the [Earth Mother Mystic Gold] ore that Zhou Chun has now put away!

Upon hearing its reply, Zhou Chun exclaimed in approval, "Excellent! It's good that you know where to find [Earth Mother Mystic Gold] ore. Even if we can't get it now, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"

If we can't get it now, we'll eventually get it after he successfully forms his core.

Therefore, Zhou Chun was already satisfied as long as he was certain that there was still [Earth Mother Mystic Gold] ore here.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Chun gave another order, instructing Shi Tou to go ahead and find a place that could help him fight against that Golden Core stage demonic cultivator.

Zhou Chun's current advantage is that the Golden Core stage demonic cultivator has no idea that he still has the Golden Armor Mountain-Bearing Turtle Stone as a trump card.

Perhaps he could use this to create some illusions for the other person, thereby tricking them again!

Not long after, Shi Tou returned and reported good news to Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun quickly stepped onto the tortoise's back and, carried by it, disappeared into the cliff face.

When their figures reappeared, they were already in a valley somewhere deep within the abyss.

This valley is more than 30 miles away from where Zhou Chun was originally. The area in front, behind, and above is a very dangerous place filled with sword energy. Only the underground area is relatively safe.

But in fact, there was also rampant golden energy underground. The Golden Armor Mountain Tortoise Stone endured the cutting and slicing of that golden energy to bring Zhou Chun to the valley.

Once inside the valley, Zhou Chun used the same trick again, creating a place where he could hide.

Then, the stone used its petrification ability to transform into a stone tortoise and block the entrance.

On the other side, through the sensory connection with the "Blood Soul Guide," the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe also discovered Zhou Chun's change of location.

This made his expression hard, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Hmm, how come that junior moved such a long distance all of a sudden? Could it be that he's setting a trap to lure me there again?"

After saying that, he muttered, his expression shifting, "It seems we can't delay any longer; any delay might lead to unforeseen changes!"

Just as Zhou Chun was unaware of his situation, he also didn't know the true nature of the relationship between Zhou Chun and Qing Weizi.

Logically speaking, a teacher would do everything possible to rescue such an outstanding junior who is trapped in enemy territory.

Therefore, he was also worried that if the time dragged on, Golden Core cultivators from the Heavenly Spirit Legion might track down Zhou Chun using something on his body.

That would make it even more difficult for him to avenge the death of his son.

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up from the ground and flew straight to the place closest to Zhou Chun's location, following his senses.

A moment later, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe arrived above Zhou Chun's location, practically facing him across an abyss.

Although he was certain that Zhou Chun was below him, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe knew that he could only kill him by personally risking his life.

After looking down from above the abyss for a while, he opened his mouth and spat out a magical artifact called a white bone blood banner.

He had refined this White Bone Blood Banner magic weapon for hundreds of years, and its power was no less than that of an ordinary high-grade magic weapon.

At this moment, he held the White Bone Blood Banner magic weapon, and with a slight shake of the blood banner in his hand, a dense blood light enveloped him and carried him into the abyss.

Along the way, numerous sword energies were generated, attacking the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe, but all were blocked by the hazy blood-red light emanating from his body.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe had already descended to the bottom of the abyss.

However, as he approached the bottom of the valley, the power of the sword energy attacking him suddenly surged. Even the protective blood light released by the White Bone Blood Banner magic weapon was cut and shattered by the sword energy, forcing him to unleash the maximum power of the magic weapon.

Once his feet were firmly planted on the ground, he swept his gaze across the area where Zhou Chun was hiding and said coldly, "Ignorant brat, I've come in my true form. Have you thought about how you want to die?"

"Old devil, you've already lost a fourth-tier puppet. Do you intend to lose your own life here as well? I advise you to think twice before you act. After all, a son can be born again, but if you die, your wife and daughter will belong to someone else!"

Zhou Chun's sarcastic words echoed from the bottom of the abyss, causing the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe to bulge his forehead veins and instantly feel a surge of anger.

"What a stubborn brat! Just wait until I catch you, then we'll see if you can still be so defiant!"

As the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe spoke, he waved the blood banner in his hand, and a burst of blood light transformed into a blood-fiend dragon several meters long, rushing towards Zhou Chun's location.

Unfortunately, before he could launch his attack, Zhou Chun, led by the Golden Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone, had already used earth magic to leave the original location and head to another place.

Because divine sense was useless in this valley, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe didn't even realize how Zhou Chun escaped.

He only knew that after his attack missed, he sensed Zhou Chun moving rapidly through "Blood Soul Guidance".

However, he wasn't stupid. After a moment's thought, his expression changed slightly, and he muttered to himself, "Earth Escape Technique? I didn't expect this junior to have such an ability!"

From that moment on, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe knew that killing Zhou Chun would be much more difficult than he had previously anticipated.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, he sensed that Zhou Chun had appeared at another location dozens of miles away.

Whether he goes back to the surface first or travels directly through the abyss, he will face sword attacks from within the abyss.

"Hmph, even if I have to go to heaven or hell, I will tear you, a mere junior, to pieces!"

After hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe let out a cold snort and flew directly upwards toward the abyss.

Compared to the treacherous and unknown bottom of the abyss, although going up there would also subject him to sword energy attacks, at least they wouldn't pose a threat to him.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, he naturally had to go up first and then go down!

After that, Zhou Chun played hide-and-seek with the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe.

Every time the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe went down into the abyss to capture him, he would have the golden-armored mountain-carrying tortoise stone carry him to another location.

He himself doesn't actually expend much energy moving back and forth like this; it's just that the stones consume more mana.

However, the stone itself recovers its magic power quickly, and Zhou Chun can transfer his own magic power to it through the secret technique of "magic grafting".

However, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe consumed far more magical power than the stone.

That is to say, as a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, he possessed incredibly powerful magical energy, which allowed him to continue the pursuit even after several rounds of exhaustion.

But after chasing Zhou Chun five times in different locations without any success, he couldn't help but become impatient.

"Something's not right. How come that kid can run so fast without expending any magic power with his earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic escape technique)?"

After missing his target once again, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe also sensed something was wrong and discovered the anomaly.

But even after discovering this, there was nothing he could do.

Even if Zhou Chun were outside, he would still find a way to make Zhou Chun suffer, even if Zhou Chun were to disappear thousands of feet underground.

However, the earth's golden energy within this abyss was extremely sturdy, and even when he bombarded it with magical treasures, he could only destroy a small area, achieving less than one percent of the effect seen outside.

Moreover, he couldn't guarantee that his destruction of this place might violate some taboo and cause even more serious consequences.

"I refuse to believe it! He's just a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator; how could he possibly compete with me, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, in terms of sheer magical power!"

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe gritted his teeth, took out a spirit crystal, and began to absorb its spiritual energy to refine and restore his mana while continuing to chase after Zhou Chun.

After chasing Zhou Chun six more times without any results, he had no choice but to believe it!

"This young man must be hiding a big secret!"

Above the abyss, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe, who had decided to stop the pursuit, stared at the bottom of the abyss with flickering eyes, his heart filled with turmoil.

Before this, he never imagined that he would be forced to this point by a junior in the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm!

Zhou Chun's behavior left him helpless, knowing that he alone would likely be unable to subdue Zhou Chun, who was hiding in the abyss.

Recalling the many Golden Core cultivators he knew, he quickly thought of someone who could help him.

"Fellow Daoist Zheng Kun of the Beast Demon Palace has fused with the bloodline of the Golden Armored Earth-Escape Beast, and his earth-escape techniques have reached a state of perfection. Moreover, his physical defense is comparable to that of a low-grade fourth-tier demon beast, so withstanding the sword energy attacks from most of this area is no problem. It seems I must do him a favor and ask him to come and help!"

With this in mind, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe immediately made a plan.

He glanced back at the abyss beneath his feet, then quickly transformed into a streak of blood and left the place, returning to Feng Kingdom to fetch reinforcements.

With his mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, he could return to Feng Kingdom in less than a day.

Unless a Nascent Soul cultivator comes to the rescue, the "Blood Soul Guidance" on Zhou Chun's body cannot be easily removed.

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe was not afraid that Zhou Chun would escape from his grasp after he left.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chun, who was in the abyss, noticed that the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe had not come down to look for him for a long time. He immediately became suspicious and asked the golden-armored mountain-carrying tortoise stone to quietly go up and check the situation.

Upon learning that the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe was no longer there, Zhou Chun was slightly startled and quickly began to ponder the man's whereabouts.

"Could this be a ploy to lure me out?"

That was the first thing that came to his mind, because it seemed to be the most likely scenario.

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe could locate him using the "Blood Soul Guide," and even if he retreated thousands of miles away, he could still monitor his movements.

But this is only the most likely scenario, not necessarily the case!

If it wasn't a feigned retreat, but rather the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe had genuinely left temporarily, it might be a good opportunity for Zhou Chun to escape his predicament.

Even if he temporarily used this dangerous abyss to prevent the blood-robed middle-aged man from doing anything to him, it was equivalent to trapping himself here.

If the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe went back to find help at this point, and he didn't seize the opportunity to escape, he might not be able to keep the other man in check as easily as before!

"So, should we take the gamble or not?"

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered with hesitation, caught in a great dilemma.

Another 8,000-word update today, too lazy to split it into two chapters! Tomorrow is Children's Day, a new month begins, so please give me a monthly ticket as encouragement if you're willing, otherwise it's fine! Also, although I took two days off this month, I still managed to finish the minimum 180,000 words by working overtime!!

(End of this chapter)
