"Crunch!!"

The Faceless Jade Venerable exploded, countless pieces of stone scattered in all directions.

Deng Yuxiang, however, felt little joy from victory, as this scene had happened countless times already.

Everyone was at the Peak strength of the Ran Sect; if they couldn't win, that would be embarrassing.

She reached forward, using the Magic Artifact·Rebirth Coin on her wrist for Soul Binding; the five attackers present were all Fake Gods in body, with souls made from God Demons' remnants.

In other words, Deng Yuxiang, Wu Xiao, and the others possessed the ability to directly devour and digest the dead souls of the enemies.

But now was clearly not the time to distribute the spoils; while binding souls, she glanced at the two elderly men in straw capes: "Is there a situation?"

Everyone also looked over; they had heard Bai Yanhui's call earlier.

Lu Bai and the two elders immediately approached, among them, Bai Yanhui said: "Absorb quickly, let's go!"

"Hmm." Deng Yuxiang received the prompt from the Rebirth Coin, commanding, "Wei Yun, return."

"Flutter flutter flutter~"

In the empty sky, the sound of ravens flapping their wings came from far to near, landing on Deng Yuxiang's shoulder.

"Go!" With a command from Lord Guardian, Lu Yuan opened his aged palm, flowers instantly bloomed and rapidly constricted.

In an instant, the battlefield was vacant.

Silhouettes disappeared alongside the flower buds without a trace.

And just a few seconds after they left, multiple figures suddenly appeared.

"Lu..." A rather large thin dog, with saliva dripping from its mouth, surveyed the surroundings.

"Lu?"

"Woof~ Woof woof!" Five evil dogs simultaneously sensed something was amiss.

In the next moment, they were already in the center of the battlefield.

Dog heads, some raised, some hung low, moved their noses again and again.

Within this squad, there were also two silhouettes of a Human Clan male and female.

Among them, the Evil Dog male disciple was crawling on a collapsed Stone Peak, surveying the wounded mountain body, sniffing closely.

"It's them!" The man looked back behind him.

The Evil Dog female disciple's face was gloomy.

This mysterious group, aren't they remarkable?

Escaping without a trace once or twice might be considered a coincidence, but now it's happened four or five times, this group always leaves a step ahead, how could it be just coincidence?

There must be a "Prophet" among this squad!

Also, the members possess the ability for large-scale shifting.

What kind of group are they?

"Sniff~"

The man bowed his head, took a deep breath, also smelled the lingering scent of Faceless Jade Venerable.

No doubt, this mysterious squad has just slain another Faceless Jade Venerable!

In previous pursuits, he could smell the lingering essence on the battlefield from Faceless Jade Venerables, but he also detected remnants from other God Demon underlings.

Which means, this powerful squad not only has the strength to defeat Faceless Jade Venerables, but they also slaughter God Demon underlings, reducing the power of the God Demon faction!

This is the fundamental reason why the Evil Dog male and female disciples continue their pursuit.

"Should we go back and report to Evil Dog Lord now?" As soon as the male disciple finished speaking, his body stiffened, choosing silence over resistance or evasion.

"Thud!"

The Evil Dog female disciple stomped the man's head into the collapsed mountain: "Days have passed, and still no results!

If you report back now, do you want to be tortured to death by the Evil Dog Lord?"

The woman got more agitated as she spoke, grinding her toes harshly.

Don't you understand the nature of Evil God·Evil Dog?

Even if you perfectly complete the task, you might be tortured for its amusement! You go back with this little information, what's the difference from asking for abuse?

If you want to die, don't drag me along!

"But... the longer we delay, we... ugh."

The Evil Dog female disciple stepped down hard, forcing the man to shut up, then looked at the searching Evil Dogs: "We better discover something before they die."

Even Heavenly Realm·Evil Dogs, their intelligence is worrisome, unable to explain with clarity.

Only when these few Evil Dogs die, with their souls returning to Evil God true form, can the Evil Dog Lord possibly figure things out.

Why "possibly"?

Because even the Evil God·Evil Dog doesn't have high intellect, its brutal beast nature overshadows everything; it can't handle complex situations and dislikes using its brain.

By the way, it's lucky that among this squad, none of the Evil Dog underlings carry the God realm's Greedy Wolf underling.

The Greedy Wolf Clan is not like these dumb dogs!

When the God Demons split, the Greedy Wolf likely took away most of the intelligence...

Considering this, it makes sense the Evil Dog Clan possesses Instant Teleportation while the Greedy Wolf doesn't.

Evil Dog: Envious that I have Instant Teleportation?

Traded it for intelligence.

If their squad had Greedy Wolf underlings, it might have already self-slain, returned to God's embrace, and reported this strange event.

"Then let's... hurry, hurry and find something that will satisfy Evil Dog Lord." The male disciple whispered nervously.

"Hmm." The female disciple replied coldly, looking grim.

She didn't know that in the direction her eyes were gazing, several hundreds of kilometers away, a squad was hiding within Stone Peak caves.

"This is the fifth time." Deng Yuxiang lightly caressed the broken blade, expressionless, "Seems like a team is pursuing us."

The cave was shrouded in darkness, and the atmosphere was oppressively terrifying.

Bai Rao stood elegantly, her beautiful eyes behind the mask revealing a terrifying divinity. She spoke calmly: "In the past month, our efficiency in killing enemies has been high, so being targeted is normal."

Bai Yanhui replied: "Whether it's the same group of people, this old man is not clear."

After all, the intensity of the Mountain Realm battlefield is too high. Bai Yanhui, being from the Sea Realm, might worry any approaching enemy could unsettle the Casters.

Deng Yuxiang said: "Let's head south, change the battlefield! This way, we can avoid slaughtering too many god demon minions of our kind, attracting unnecessary attention."

Bai Rao, however, said: "Should we talk to young Lu about this?"

Deng Yuxiang hesitated, not wanting to disturb him too much.

"Nightmare Guardian!" Bai Yanhui spoke again.

"Hmm?"

"This old man is about to encounter a cultivation bottleneck. Why don't we return to the Mountain Realm for a while to recuperate?" Bai Yanhui suggested.

As the former Valley Master of Sinless Valley, he is naturally not an ordinary person.

Bai Yanhui clearly understood how proud this group was, and if he directly suggested "laying low," it might cause dissatisfaction among the warriors.

"Elder Bai is about to advance?" Deng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows slightly, her mood lifted a bit.

The stronger the Prophet within the team, the better they can carry out missions.

"Yes." Bai Yanhui nodded.

Since he merged with the Divine Sculpture of the Caster, it had been more than four months. The concentration of Divine Power on the Heavenly Realm battlefield far surpassed that of the Holy Spirit Mountain.

As a Fake God, Bai Yanhui no longer had a cultivation limit, and his growth rate was quite remarkable.

"Alright." After a moment of contemplation, Deng Yuxiang nodded in agreement with this proposal.

After more than a month of battling, it was indeed time to take a break, especially to send the Holy Spirit Energy contained in the god demon remnants back to the original Stone Sculpture.

The usually silent Yan Chou suddenly spoke: "I will stay in the Heavenly Realm to continue gathering Holy Spirit Energy."

It would indeed be challenging to let Yan Chou fight the Faceless Jade Venerable alone.

But for him to slaughter other god minions and gather Holy Spirit Energy...

Yan Chou certainly possessed strong combat power and mobility to wreak havoc in this realm.

"Operating alone makes you prone to exposure." After a moment of consideration, Deng Yuxiang shook her head.

Yan Chou gazed at the young woman, frowning.

Everyone could naturally feel the displeasure of the Great Power from the Heavenly Realm, but Deng Yuxiang's attitude was firm as she looked at the man: "I was appointed as the team leader by him."

Just one sentence brought Yan Chou back to his senses, making his imposing aura quickly recede.

Obeying the orders of the First Guardian is a matter of duty for the soldiers of the Ran Sect, but when facing the overly powerful remnants of the Cloud Sea, Deng Yuxiang still had to wield someone else's authority to constrain.

Seeing Yan Chou calm down, a certain face floated in Deng Yuxiang's mind involuntarily.

More than a month had passed, and she wondered how young Lu Ran was doing.

Hmm... could it be considered not meeting?

Her original Stone Sculpture had always been deeply embedded in his mind, never separated for a moment.

[Lu Ran?] Within the Sculpture Garden, the Nightmare Stone Sculpture directly called out, [young Lu Ran?]

[Ah... ah?] Over here, Lu Ran had just put He Qifeng into his mind and returned to Tianya Haijiao when he heard the voice of the Big Nightmare.

[Is it convenient to speak?]

[What's the matter, sister? Did something happen?] Lu Ran quickly inquired.

Deng Yuxiang's heart warmed, and even her cold gaze softened: [I want to bring the team back to the Mountain Realm for a temporary rest.]

Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief: [Alright! It's been over a month, and the remnants of your god demons should be sent back... do you need me to come pick you up?]

[No need, let's talk when we meet later.] Deng Yuxiang knew that Lu Ran was at the Holy Spirit Mountain.

After all, her original Stone Sculpture had always been carried by Lu Ran, and she could naturally sense the distance between her corporeal self and her original form.

[Heaven's Edge.] Leaving a message, Lu Ran headed directly to the edge of the cliff.

Soon after, he saw an illusory, magnificent Teleportation Array.

"Hoo!!"

Figures fell down one after another, all in green rain capes and steel masks, filling Lu Ran with a sense of achievement.

"Sect Leader!"

"Young Master." Through the dense fog, the group respectfully bowed towards the edge of the cliff, their imposing manner overwhelming!

Lu Ran felt a sense of pride in his heart~

Yes, yes, they are all my great generals!

"Thank you everyone for your hard work, was the mission successful?" Lu Ran faced the sea but turned his head 180 degrees to see the powerful figures kneeling behind him.

"The team may have been exposed. We are not sure if a group has been tracking us the entire time." Deng Yuxiang reported.

"Oh?" Lu Ran's face darkened.

This matter, indeed, cannot be avoided.

The longer everyone wreaks havoc in the Heavenly Realm battlefield, the greater the risk of exposure!

After listening to Deng Yuxiang's account, Lu Ran nodded thoughtfully: "You all go back to the park first."

He had initially thought that since more people in the Ran Sect had advanced to the Heavenly Realm over the past period, he could try forming a second team.

But now with the current situation...

[Mr. Conglong.]

[Sect Leader?]

[Come to Heaven's Edge, let's talk.]
