On the other side, Zuo Qing and Chi Jiaran also arrived at the Black Water Marsh.

At first glance from afar, this lake and swamp connection didn't reveal any anomalies.

But as they landed, their expressions changed instantly. It was as if their eyes were blindfolded, and their Spiritual Perception was limited to just seven or eight meters, an overwhelmingly uncomfortable sensation.

Without a second thought, the two immediately ascended into the air, staying away from that strange miasma.

Even though the two were skilled and bold, this perception range was less than what they could see with their eyes, which was extremely unadaptable for them as people accustomed to relying on Spiritual Perception. After all, at their level, a distance of seven or eight meters could almost be ignored in a fight.

"There's something very strange here!"

"I can feel the climate, it's changing from here!"

As a Transcendent of the meteorological pathway, Chi Jiaran noticed first. They vaguely felt that the thick clouds overhead seemed to be influenced by some Extraordinary Power, slowly gathering together.

Zuo Qing pointed to some of the land below and said, "Look, the vegetation down there seems to have just been ravaged by a storm, and the vegetation on the nearby lands has fallen in different directions, forming a radial pattern."

"That means it's a point, and the outburst from that point caused the fluctuations." Chi Jiaran understood immediately and looked in the opposite direction: "Right, besides us capturing a core member of the Evolution Divine Teachings' stronghold, the Conservative Faction also captured one. Could it be them?"

Zuo Qing said expressionlessly, "It's highly likely to be them, and the message we intercepted might have been deliberately leaked by them."

Chi Jiaran agreed with this speculation.

If the core member captured by the Conservative Faction had really escaped, who would have come here ahead of time?

These obvious traces couldn't possibly have been created by the Evolution Divine Teachings themselves, right?

"Could it be the Conservative Faction, without absolute confidence in attacking the Evolution Divine Teachings' stronghold, revealed it to us? But that doesn't make sense either. If they weren't confident, why would they want to lead the charge? Are they out of their minds?" Chi Jiaran was unclear about the opponent's intentions.

It seemed methodical, yet upon closer examination, it was haphazard and unpredictable, as if a layer of paper covered her eyes, which seemed like it could be poked through with a little more effort.

However, there seemed to be no way to begin.

Zuo Qing gazed into the distance and said calmly, "I have a feeling they're leveraging us to achieve something."

"There's no point in thinking about this now. All those schemes and tactics are only toying with fire in the face of absolute strength."

The two discussed it and decided to follow the traces forward to investigate before making any plans.

...

Underground, the wide tunnels connected, winding like an underground maze, or like a place formed by a rampaging Fierce Beast.

Qiu Wanao was sprinting at full speed, causing sand and stones to fly along his path.

Su Qi was in hot pursuit behind him, and the two raced like lightning through the complex tunnels, never more than a hundred meters apart.

This made Qiu Wanao very anxious, occasionally crashing through tunnel walls to leap into another tunnel.

No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't shake off his pursuer.

Damn it!

Where did these fools hide in the tunnels?

After running for so long, he hadn't encountered a single ally.

If this continues, I'll have to lure him to the underground base and have the High Priest kill him.

Just when Qiu Wanao was about to reach his limit, he suddenly encountered a companion in one of the tunnels.

But before he could call for help, that Non-human Alien took one look at the person chasing Qiu Wanao and fled in fright like a startled bird!

No way, the Supreme Court arrived here so fast!?

"Qiu Wanao, don't follow me! I'm not your dad!" yelled the Non-human Alien in fury, cursing openly.

At this moment.

Qiu Wanao put forth all his strength and dashed to the other's side: "Don't... don't run, the guy behind us is not much stronger than me. Together we can take him down!"

"Trying to trick me into being your scapegoat? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"I'm not lying. If his power was truly terrifying, would we still have a chance to run here?"

"Is that really true?" The Non-human Alien calmed upon hearing this, probing cautiously with his Spiritual Power while escaping. However, due to the unique environment, he could only vaguely sense the other's intensity.

"If you don't believe me, watch me!"

Qiu Wanao gritted his teeth, stopped in midair, and swung back down fiercely with a blade on his right arm!

Clang!

Su Qi quickly performed, bending his knees slightly, as if it took great effort to withstand the blow.

The act was quite convincing.

Upon seeing this, the Non-human Alien hesitated, finally realizing Qiu Wanao hadn't deceived him.

This guy's strength was comparable to theirs.

He wasn't a Supreme Court Law Enforcement Officer but likely a member of the Conservative Faction?

Indeed.

His attire didn't fit the Supreme Court's uniform; calming down, after another few exchanges between Qiu Wanao and the opponent, he couldn't hold back and joined the battle.

They wanted to quickly eliminate this person to prevent revealing their location and attracting the Supreme Court's Law Enforcement Officers.

Bang bang bang!

The three engaged in combat, a horrific surge erupting instantly!

Qiu Wanao and his ally instantly sensed that their opponent struggled to fend off their attacks.

But whenever they thought they could finally overcome him, he managed to deflect their efforts amidst the chaos.

Such a stalemate, even with the upper hand, was extremely frustrating for them.

"Qiu Wanao, put some effort in, he's almost at his limit!" the Non-human Alien shouted, black light swirling around his fist, terrifying like a light from Hell.

Qiu Wanao, face flushed, couldn't utter a word, fearing any words would deflate his spirit.

Rumble!

After demolishing countless tunnels and fighting for nearly ten minutes, Qiu Wanao and his ally finally realized.

Their opponent was incredibly resilient!

Just a little more, always falling short of killing him!

"Run!"

"Get more reinforcements!"

Quickly, the two Non-human Aliens reached a consensus, unwillingly fleeing.

If they continued in this critical moment, their opponent would undoubtedly be the one to die!

Now, they couldn't afford the delay!

It wasn't long before they encountered another companion.

Under the three of them, Su Qi finally felt a bit of pressure, barely revealing fifty percent of his strength.

Even without activating the 'God's Favored One,' it was already terrifying.

All this was thanks to his solid foundation and various Ability enhancements.

Despite the three strong core members' encirclement, their opponent still barely held on.

They had to attribute it to the tunnel's space, limiting their encirclement advantage. Otherwise, they could kill him!

Thus, they began their escape again, searching for a stronger expert.

However, the newest Non-human Alien suggested splitting up, relying on his speed advantage to dive into another tunnel.

"Don't lead the way properly, head for death!"

Su Qi pursued quickly, summoning a sliver of True Divine Power from the Hammer of Divine Punishment and striking fiercely.

The Non-human Alien, realizing he was targeted upon running alone, was immensely furious.

Unleashing a furious blow, he seemed to prove he wasn't easy prey!

However.

The next second.

He felt a force several dozen times stronger than before erupt on him!

"No!"

"You! You're... hiding your power!"

In his terrified voice, a sonic boom reverberated, and after the violent tremor, the tunnel collapsed entirely, rubble shattered to dust!

Under this terrifying force, he was hammered to death, dying on the spot.

After dealing with this individual, Su Qi once more, like a herdsman, drove the others.

The two remaining Non-human Aliens, seeing him chase the other, barely breathed a sigh of relief before realizing the terrifying, Soul Hook and Life Seeker-like figure caught up again.

The commotion from behind, they naturally heard.

Though they didn't know what happened, they got goosebumps, realizing the person wasn't as easy to deal with.

It seemed only the High Priest could completely subdue this guy!

High Priest, save... oh no, we brought you a fish!
