Xu Guang's speed was not considered slow. With the enlightenment of three Martial Dao intents, although none of them focused on speed, it was enough to make his speed surpass the average First Grade.

Yin Kuang and Qing Ye did not rush forward at the first moment. Both seemed to be on guard against each other or rather, everyone here distrusted each other, even if they were from the same faction.

This gave Xu Guang an opportunity to escape.

He glanced at Yin Kuang with a sinister look, as if committing him to memory.

Yin Kuang looked at Xu Guang with the same murderous intent.

Along with a flash of red light, a rain of blood drifted down from the sky.

A remnant shadow was all that was left in place, while Xu Guang had already swiftly dashed out for dozens of miles.

Yin Kuang sneered but did not pursue. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He indeed wanted to kill Xu Guang, but the true reason lay in his lack of understanding of this person. He held the green-purple cauldron, confident enough to suppress everyone present, including Qing Ye, who couldn't be slain in a short time but could be hindered from acting.

Xu Guang was different. He knew nothing about him, and had it not been for the green-purple cauldron during their previous encounter, he might have even gotten injured.

In such a land of opportunity, having such a viper-like adversary lurking around always made him uneasy.

With the Soul Blood Pursuing Soul Order in place, it was enough to prevent Xu Guang from hiding his whereabouts. If they encountered a treasure here later, it wouldn't be worried about him being a hidden threat.

Qing Ye seemed to perceive Yin Kuang's thoughts and said, "You have some understanding of this place?"

Yin Kuang chuckled harshly, his face revealing both ferocity and wildness, "It's not my understanding, it's that slut Yan Ruge who knows. My subordinates reported that this slut had previously reached some sort of collaboration with Xu Guang. Now that Xu Guang is forced to flee, we can go find that slut again. There's no way she would dare to resist."

"I didn't expect that you, calculating Xu Guang, had such a plan."

Qing Ye looked at Yin Kuang with great interest, yet a trace of apprehension flashed in his heart.

This Yin Kuang, crude and boorish as he appeared, was unexpectedly capable of such scheming. Indeed, one cannot judge by appearances.

...

In a hollows between sand dunes.

"Yan Ruge, where do you think you're going!"

Two sea tribe experts transformed into two silver-white Flood Dragons, intertwining in the sky like two dragons playing with a pearl, their bodies enveloped in strange fluctuations.

A stunning beam of light streaked across the sky.

It hit the ground and exploded into countless yellow sands.

Yan Ruge's face turned grim as she forcibly suppressed the intention of the Decaying Serpent Whale to take action, raising her hand to scatter the starlight, transforming it into a barrier that dissolved the residual force of the beam.

"I have no enmity with the Linglong Tribe, yet you two pursued me this far. Isn't this a bit too aggressive?"

The two before her didn't have simple strength: having risen from mere wild beasts to become attendants of the Saint Heir of the Linglong Tribe, they were considered the strongest, apart from Yin Kuang, especially since the two were siblings with identical Divine Techniques. Once combined, even a Peak First Grade would have to avoid the confrontation.

"Heh heh, Yan Ruge, your schemes were long anticipated by the Saint Heir. If you obediently reveal the treasures of this place, we may yet spare your life."

Yan Ruge narrowed her eyes, "Yin Kuang sent you? Tell him to come and find me himself."

With that said, she struck out with her palm, starlight dazzling, as a thin golden thread flew from her body.

Upon seeing this object, the two were instantly enraged.

"Dragon tendon! You dare use dragon tendon in artifact refining, courting death!"

The two dragons were immensely furious, yet they didn't expect that Yan Ruge's dragon tendon moved as if it had a mind of its own, twisting and turning in the air, slipping into the void, and as the two were about to act, suddenly emerged from the void.

Their forms were momentarily frozen, as if time had stopped.

Yan Ruge's face turned murderous, about to advance.

Suddenly, she felt an overwhelming chill, as if being watched by an incredibly dreadful existence. A cyan-purple airflow began to diffuse in the Dark World.

Yan Ruge's expression changed drastically, casting a resentful glance at the two monsters before turning to flee.

"Yan Ruge, you cannot escape!"

...

Xu Guang did not expect that during his over a month-long closed-door training, such significant turmoil would occur in the Dark World.

More people had entered from the outside.

He looked into the distance at Anan, who had grasped the essence of slaughter, perceiving the intent of killing in the world deeply and faintly discerning some clues.

This Star Beast Anan was seeking a way to break free.

So, these people came in, likely to help the small banner prevent them.

He frowned, could it be that he really needed to enter Anan's body to find the Star Beast's core, and thereby weaken it?

It seemed that everyone in the Secret Realm would eventually head to Anan's location.

Who knows how much power that Saint Realm Star Beast could exert now.

As Xu Guang was about to move forward, he suddenly felt malice approaching him from the darkness, and the intent of slaughter instinctively emanated from his body.

"Someone actually dares to court death!"

Xu Guang's expression shifted slightly, taking a step forward as his unprecedented aura surged, enveloping the vast area in Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

"Xu Guang is just ahead. The Linglong Tribe promises that as long as we stall him, we will be allowed into the medium palace. Don't get careless."

"Cousin, Xu Guang is ruthless and powerful. Can we really hold him off?"

"So what if he's powerful? It's challenging to kill him, but holding him off isn't difficult."

In the darkness, several people communicated through Divine Soul telepathy, pursuing Xu Guang from all sides, blocking all his escape routes.

At this moment, a trail of blood-red fire appeared in the sky, carrying a chilling intent, almost materializing into something tangible.

"Retreat quickly!"

Someone shouted loudly.

But it was too late; in an instant, the flames entwined one person, sweeping over them, destroying their Divine Soul completely.

In the darkness, a shadowy figure slowly emerged.

"Xu Guang!"

At the forefront, Ge Fa's forehead throbbed wildly, never stopping since Xu Guang appeared, feeling the aura surrounding Xu Guang. Three Martial Dao intents?
