Ren Pingsheng turned around with a cold gaze, just in time to see Chu Tian's face filled with pride and ferocity. It seemed he was saying something or perhaps celebrating something.
"I was careless this time; I didn't expect to be schemed against by a petty person. Could it be that I have been too merciful, giving others an opportunity?" At this moment, he felt no fear or worry in his heart, only these thoughts.
"Forget it, I'll deal with these matters after I escape!" After falling down, Ren Pingsheng realized he had already distanced himself from the front line by several dozen feet. Just now, not only had he taken a palm strike from Chu Tian, but he had also been attacked by a High-Level Beast along the way. Although it hadn't caused any injury, it had pushed him deeper into the midst of the Demonized Beasts.
"Ah, Ren Shidi." Feng Yi turned his head upon hearing the commotion and happened to see Ren Pingsheng being knocked away again by a demonized High-Level Beast. He immediately called out anxiously. At this moment, everyone in their team noticed what was happening.
"What’s going on? How did Ren Shidi end up flying in the air? Did you do something?" Feng Yi's gaze fell on Chu Tian with a serious expression, as he was the closest to Ren Pingsheng.
"Who are you talking to? Show some respect," Chu Tian said, trying to conceal his delight and feigning displeasure.
"Bastard, I'm asking you! Do you think you would still be alive if it weren't for Ren Shidi saving you? You would have long been fed to the Demon Beast and still be here acting tough."
"You... Hmph, how would I know? Who knows why he suddenly flew out?" Anger flashed across his face, but seeing the suspicious gazes of others, he immediately played dumb.
"Very well. Don't let me find out that you did something; otherwise, I won't let you off easily. Brother Shi, let's go back and save Ren Shidi," Feng Yi glared fiercely at Chu Tian and then said anxiously.
"Impossible! We are about to break through; do we need to go back in? If you want to save him, go ahead; I'm not going," Chu Tian immediately protested. At the same time, his eyes turned toward Hou Qingyun, making his intentions clear.
"Yes, this is too dangerous. We could die at any moment," Hou Qingyun also expressed reluctance to take risks and quickly chimed in. The others looked hesitant as well.
"You... You are all truly ungrateful wretches. How do you think we were saved just now?" Even Feng Yi's usually gentle temper flared up.
"Hmph, while I am grateful that you saved us, don't think that this means you can call on us whenever you want. We didn't ask for your help; it was your choice to save us," Chu Tian replied with an expression that showed he was unbothered by the situation. Although others looked somewhat displeased, they did not oppose him.
"You... Brother Shi, what do you say?"
"Brother Feng, I'm afraid they won't agree to go back. Just the two of us, I'm afraid..." Lan Shaoqiu said with a troubled expression. Although he admired Ren Pingsheng, he still knew which was more important—his own life.
"Is that so? Then I'll go save him myself." Feng Yi's face darkened. Without looking back, he rushed out. The others exchanged glances, surprised by his decisiveness. At that moment, Lan Shaoqiu felt a bit embarrassed.
"Hmph, that fool. If he wants to go, let him! It's obvious he's going to his death," Chu Tian mocked. At this point, he was already overjoyed, finally getting rid of the annoying Ren Pingsheng.
The others looked at him with evident disdain. Although they wouldn't go back, they couldn't say whether Feng Yi's actions were right or wrong. Such a loyal person might seem foolish, yet it was also enviable.
If it were them in the back, would they have a friend willing to risk their life for them? They thought to themselves. But after thinking it over, they couldn't find anyone.
The slaughter continued. After a night of struggle, they finally managed to break through slowly. Looking at the dwindling number of Demonized Beasts, smiles finally appeared on their faces. At that moment, everyone was filled with vigor.
"Ren Shidi, where are you?" As Feng Yi burst out, he was immediately surrounded by a swarm of Demonized Beasts. For a moment, he found himself in a dilemma and could only keep swinging his longsword and moving with difficulty.
"Hmm?" Ren Pingsheng, who was continuously fighting off the Demon Beasts, suddenly felt a shift in his expression. Despite the constant roars and screams of the Demon Beasts around him, he still heard Feng Yi's voice—though it was faint and intermittent.
"Could it be... Brother Feng is looking for me?" He thought to himself. With that thought, he immediately shouted out loud, his voice carrying far away.
"Ren Shidi, is that you? Are you okay?" Feng Yi shouted energetically.
"I'm okay? Brother Feng, have you all come?"
"No. It's just me. Hurry over here; we have a chance to break out together."
"What? Just you alone? That's too dangerous; get away quickly!" Ren Pingsheng's face changed drastically as he shouted anxiously. At the same time, he felt a bit touched. If the others had come over, it would have surprised him; he just didn't expect Feng Yi to come alone.
"No, we came out together; we naturally have to go back together," Feng Yi insisted.
"Leave first, I have my own way to escape. I'm currently held back and can't get to you, but your cultivation won't last much longer. Hurry and leave, and I'll meet up with you later."
"Are you serious? Is there really a way to escape?" he said, somewhat disbelieving.
"Of course, I have a teleportation talisman that can get me out. Once I deal with these two Top-Tier Demonized Beasts, I'll leave," Ren Pingsheng said calmly as he looked at the suddenly appearing Top-Tier Demonized Beasts.
"A teleportation talisman. I didn't expect you to have such a good item, Junior Brother. Alright, I'll wait for you outside." Upon hearing this, Feng Yi naturally took it seriously. He had heard of teleportation talismans before. With that, he rushed out with all his might. He hadn't gone far initially, and within just a moment, he could see other disciples in the distance.
"Strange, why are there two Top-Tier Demonized Beasts? Are they just chasing after me?" Ren Pingsheng thought with some confusion. His figure flickered continuously; every time a Demonized Beast charged at him, it would feel an inexplicable tightness all over its body, followed by a dazed consciousness. Soon after, it would become a corpse.
The surroundings were filled with dense Demonized Beasts, and with the addition of two Top-Tier Demonized Beasts, the pressure on him was already immense. The Sword Momentum was unconsciously unleashed, and every Demon Beast in its path was killed in one strike.
He initially wanted to take the opportunity to break through, but immediately several Top-Tier Demonized Beasts surrounded him again, clearly not allowing him to break free. However, during the confrontation, they did not use their full strength; otherwise, Ren Pingsheng would not have only sustained minor injuries.
"Damn it, what's going on with these guys?" Ren Pingsheng's expression darkened. They were clearly not allowing him to leave. Suddenly, an inexplicable sense of will enveloped him, causing the hairs on his body to stand on end.
"This is... the feeling that has been present since entering Demon Soul Valley; it's just much stronger now." His face turned pale. He had always felt as if something was watching him from the shadows. Unfortunately, that feeling had gradually faded over time.
Now it suddenly reappeared and was amplified countless times, as if a master was releasing pressure right in front of him, giving him a chilling sensation.
"I can't stay here; I need to leave quickly." Ren Pingsheng roared and no longer hesitated. He released all of his Sword Momentum; even six Top-Tier Demonized Beasts were momentarily stunned. Without any hesitation, Ren Pingsheng's sword moved like the wind; Wind Realm was executed to its utmost limit. In an instant, one Top-Tier Demonized Beast was severed in two. Then he flickered and charged out.
Unfortunately, after just a few steps, the ground suddenly lit up as a formation appeared beneath him. It bound him tightly so that he couldn't move at all.
"What is this? How can this be?" Ren Pingsheng exclaimed in horror; he had never felt such panic even when surrounded by the Demonized Beasts before. He struggled desperately for a while but remained completely immobile.
The surrounding Demonized Beasts gradually distanced themselves from him; their eyes even revealed a hint of fear. Then they turned around and began to chase after others instead.
Surroundings gradually Quiet down, and the vague Demon Beast also disappeared without a trace. Ren Pingsheng calmed down as well; he knew that being anxious was useless and he could only find a way to resolve the situation.
"What is the purpose of this thing binding me? If it's the work of a mastermind, it's been nearly half an hour, yet no one has come?" This was also what puzzled him the most.
Just as he was thinking this, the magic circle beneath his feet suddenly lit up again, the light becoming even more intense. Then Ren Pingsheng felt a blur before his eyes, and everything began to spin.
"This is a teleportation magic circle!" This was the last thought that flashed through his mind. Then he knew nothing and fell into unconsciousness.
"Uh... where is this?" After an unknown amount of time, Ren Pingsheng suddenly woke up, standing up with a wary expression and looking around.
It seemed to be an open underground cavern, or what could be called a plaza. At a glance, it measured five to six hundred feet in length and width. However, this place seemed similar to Demon Soul Valley, everything was monotonously black, whether it was the cavern's rocks or the flowers and grass still growing. Even the air was filled with swirling black currents.
Yet amidst this darkness, in the center of the cavern, there appeared to be a golden light flickering continuously. Ren Pingsheng noticed nothing unusual and walked straight toward the center.
"Could this be..." he pondered in surprise. The golden light was clearly a formation. In the formation sat a skeleton, draped in a black robe, with hollow eyes that seemed to have an inexplicable allure.
"Could this be... that legendary Demon Emperor from back then? He should have been sealed here, which is why Demon Soul Valley was formed. Two thousand years have passed, and he has finally turned into a skeleton." Ren Pingsheng felt that his guess was **not far from the truth.
At this moment, his heart raced; an Emperor-Level Expert represented an astonishing opportunity. Even now, an Emperor-Level Expert is a dominant existence rarely seen in public. Not to mention gaining their favor.
Now, with a deceased Emperor-Level Expert, all the treasures, techniques, Elixirs, and martial skills on him were enough to make anyone's heart race at the thought.
