Fortunately, during this process, Ji Haoyuan and the others did not encounter any danger.

Thus, the three of them continued onward.

After a moment.

It seemed they were about to pass through this area.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a wave of fluctuation suddenly came from behind them.

Soon after, the aura of several cultivators approached.

Those people evidently also saw Ji Haoyuan and the three of them who were ahead.

One beautiful female cultivator in a red dress immediately spoke up.

"Friends in front, please wait a moment."

With these words, the red-dressed female cultivator and those with her immediately flew towards Ji Haoyuan and his group.

This made Ji Haoyuan's heart secretly scream that something was wrong.

The expressions of True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang also changed slightly.

Boom!

Indeed.

The previously quiet passage suddenly shook violently.

Before everyone present could react to what was happening.

A yellow-haired male cultivator beside the red-dressed female cultivator suddenly let out a miserable cry.

Everyone instinctively turned to look.

Their pupils all shrank sharply.

At some point, beside the yellow-haired male cultivator, there stood a humanoid statue holding a long knife, which directly decapitated the yellow-haired male cultivator.

His nascent soul had just escaped from the body.

Another sword light swept through the air, slicing the yellow-haired male cultivator's nascent soul into two.

"Daoist Zhao!"

The group with the red-dressed female cultivator all exclaimed.

They evidently never expected such a terrifying danger to exist here.

Even Ji Haoyuan and the True Monarch Xuanyuan were incredibly shocked by the scene before them.

Because if they hadn't felt it incorrectly, the awakened statue's power actually…

Had reached the late Nascent Soul level!

"Don't move!"

Ji Haoyuan immediately voiced a reminder.

But at this time, who would listen to him?

Almost instantly, all the people with the red-dressed female cultivator fled rapidly away.

Among them, the direction the red-dressed female cultivator fled was towards Ji Haoyuan and his group.

"Fools!"

Ji Haoyuan couldn't help but curse inwardly.

However, the following scene left him, True Monarch Xuanyuan, and True Monarch Fuguang gasping.

Shush! Shush! Shush!

One after another, the statues that originally remained motionless and void of any aura.

At this moment, it was as if they had been stimulated, and the previously empty and lifeless eyes all flashed with red light.

The next moment.

Several statues acted together.

In the sky, terrifying saber lights and sword shadows crisscrossed.

The cultivators who were fleeing in all directions barely survived a breath before being sliced to pieces by the saber lights and sword shadows.

Even the nascent souls within them couldn't escape.

"Fellow Daoist, save me!

I am..."

At this time, the red-dressed female cultivator's flesh was also destroyed.

The only difference from the others was that on her escaping nascent soul, a silver talisman gleamed, firmly protecting her within.

However, in the face of attacks from several late Nascent Soul level opponents.

No matter how powerful your protective treasure is, it is of no avail.

Before her nascent soul could flee much further.

Several fearsome sword gangs and sword qi fell on her simultaneously.

Boom!

The silver talisman protecting her nascent soul shattered instantly.

Then, her entire nascent soul body disintegrated into nothingness in endless terror and unwillingness.

Such a terrifying scene, even True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang, no matter how tenacious, couldn't help but feel a chill.

The master of this place set such a deadly trap.

It can be seen that this Great Venerable was in life, no benevolent kind.

"Junior Brother Nanhua..."

At this moment, both their gazes involuntarily turned to Ji Haoyuan.

They couldn't help but feel anxious.

For at this instant, the gaze of the resurrected statues turned towards them.

A terrifying pressure descended upon them.

At this moment, True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang felt as if they were facing the Nascent Soul level with only a Golden Core.

The powerlessness and despair, unless experienced firsthand, were difficult to comprehend.

Buzz!

However, Ji Haoyuan did not immediately respond to the two but instead once again displayed the Cave Abyss Token.

In an instant, the movements of the statues about to attack Ji Haoyuan halted.

However, they did not retreat nor lay down their weapons, but each shot a beam of red light from their eyes onto Ji Haoyuan's Cave Abyss Token.

In that moment, Ji Haoyuan felt a massive flow of information from the Cave Abyss Token surging into his mind, instantly letting him know what to do next.

That was to require him to advance the current puppet level to the fourth-rank upper-grade within half a day.

Only then, could they safely overcome this crisis.

Clatter—

At this moment, True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang were astonished to find.

A complex puppet model appeared before them.

Within it, fierce auras spread out.

And on this puppet model, red dots flickered.

As if foretelling some crisis.

"Senior Brother Xuan Yuan, Senior Brother Fuguang.

From now on, you two shall wait here, remember, do not easily move from your current positions.

I need to comprehend the puppet model before us.

Only by understanding all its secrets thoroughly, can we have a chance to avoid this danger."

These words made True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang sink feelingly.

They never dreamed that the situation was so dire.

But now that it had come to this, facing the statues that had reached the late Nascent Soul level, all they could do was choose to trust Ji Haoyuan.

At once, the two nodded solemnly to Ji Haoyuan.

And Ji Haoyuan wasted no more words.

He sat cross-legged in front of the puppet model.

As time ticked by.

Especially when True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang noticed the red dots on the puppet model flickering more intensely and urgently, their hearts couldn't help but lift.

Should they voice a reminder to Ji Haoyuan at this time?

If there was truly no other way, or if time was running out.

They would have no choice but to fight with all their might.

Even though the chances of escaping alive were slim.

It was still better than staying put and waiting to die.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Just as True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang grew increasingly anxious, and the statues which had remained motionless behind began to mechanically and stiffly turn their heads towards the direction of the three.

Ji Haoyuan, who had been sitting with closed eyes, suddenly opened them.
