"Listen up, it sounds like there's a battle over there." Wang Lei pointed ahead and said gravely.
"Indeed, there is a battle. It seems someone is breaking through. Everyone stay sharp and prepare for combat." Long Yunxiao nodded and said seriously.
Hearing this, Wang Lei immediately showed a look of excitement. He waved his hand to summon a tiger-like Guardian Beast, clearly eager to join.
Meanwhile, a group of five people were hiding mid-mountain in a large tree, watching the battle below without any intention of intervening.
"Captain Zhou, there's an ambush at the foot of the mountain, what should we do?" A gaunt man asked anxiously.
The man surnamed Zhou did not respond. Instead, he scanned the fight below, his expression becoming extremely grave.
The five of them were all at Lord Level strength, ranking mid-to-upper within the Blood Demon Hall. However, the strength of those from the Cyan Dragon Daoist School at the foot of the mountain was at least Lord Level too, diving in would certainly mean death.
Seeing Captain Zhou was deep in thought, no one dared to disturb him.
Moments later, Captain Zhou suddenly slapped his forehead and then broke into a wide smile.
The four noticed and hurriedly asked, "Captain, have you thought of a solution?"
"I should have thought of this earlier. Do you remember the cliff on the west side?"
"Are you suggesting we break through from there?"
"Yes, that cliff is extremely steep. Even if someone is guarding it, they likely won't be too vigilant."
"Even if they're not vigilant, going down the cliff, we'll still be spotted."
"Did you forget about my Guardian Beast's talent?"
"Right, your Guardian Beast was transformed from a Chameleon, possessing a strong disguise ability. As long as we're careful, we should be able to successfully break through."
"Exactly. Time is of the essence; let's move while there are fewer people."
Soon, the five arrived at the cliff. Through the bushes, they looked down and saw seven young people chatting, seemingly very relaxed below.
"Captain, they seem very at ease. Looks like we're in luck this time."
"Don't get careless. Xiaoliu, use super perception to assess their strength."
A short, stout man nodded, slowly closed his eyes, and a faint wave of Soul Power flowed towards Chu Chen and the others.
Moments later, the stout man suddenly opened his eyes, which gleamed with joy.
The man surnamed Zhou quickly asked, "Did you discover something?"
The man surnamed Liu responded with a grin, "A big find! Those youths below are all at Commander Level. At such a young age, reaching this strength, they must be prodigies carefully cultivated by the Daoist School. Capturing them would be a major achievement."
The man surnamed Zhou did not seem pleased, instead frowning and saying, "We can't. Those Daoist Soldiers are nearby; if we draw them here, we won't be able to escape. Never underestimate those prodigies; their ability to fight above their level is beyond your imagination."
The man surnamed Liu reluctantly nodded, understanding the truth of what was said.
"Alright, we should make our breakthrough. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it becomes." With that, the man surnamed Zhou summoned a blood-red lizard.
The four exchanged looks, then immediately jumped onto the back of the lizard.
The man surnamed Zhou patted the lizard's back and whispered, "Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, the blood-red lizard sprinted toward the cliff. As it moved, its body color began to change.
In the blink of an eye, it blended into the surrounding environment, making the five individuals disappear from sight, undetectable to the naked eye.
Wang Lei, hearing the battle noises from afar, said enviously, "I wish we were assigned to that side."
"What, are you jealous of them?" Zhang Wei asked with a smile.
"Of course, we've only fought twice in these two months, and the Star Beasts weren't strong. It was quite dull," Wang Lei replied disgruntledly.
Despite Wang Lei appearing carefree and outspoken, he was a true battle maniac, often challenging Chu Chen and others.
Currently, his strength ranked fourth in the Celestial Dragon Training Camp.
Before Nirvana understood Domain, he was in the top three.
Long Yunxiao ranked first, while Zhang Yuyan was second.
Since Nirvana comprehended the Domain, everything changed.
With the Domain's support, Nirvana's abilities were perfectly enhanced, growing stronger with each battle; even a battle maniac like Wang Lei lost the courage for another fight against Nirvana.
While they were talking, a low insect buzz suddenly came from not far away.
Chu Chen's expression suddenly changed upon hearing the buzz; it was the sound made by Shadow Kill.
When they arrived at the cliff, Chu Chen had let Shadow Kill hide, mainly as a backup plan to prevent surprise attacks.
Unexpectedly, this unintentional move actually paid off.
He didn't hesitate and quickly warned, "Everyone, prepare for battle, we have big fish caught in the net!"
Everyone froze momentarily upon hearing this but quickly realized the Blood God Sect was trying to break through here.
Wang Lei perked up and immediately looked around, trying to find their tracks, but there were only trees and weeds around.
The group immediately summoned their Guardian Beasts in front of them, vigilant of their surroundings.
At this point, the five men, led by the man surnamed Zhou, saw Chu Chen and the rest's actions and understood they'd been exposed.
