In the strange desert space, a vast shadow engulfed the land.

Zooming in, the shadow was actually numerous Abyss Cultivators enveloped by Abyss Demon Qi.

A bizarre-looking sand snake, with an ordinary aura, quietly emerged from the desert and landed in the hands of a rugged middle-aged Cultivator.

His palm suddenly tightened, crushing the sand snake with great force.

However, the sand snake's body did not scatter flesh and blood but transformed into specks of Spirit Light that surged into his brow.

"Is everything normal? Not even a single trace of other cultivators discovered..."

As he continuously scanned the memory of the sand snake, Ling Hanfei, the sole peak cultivator of the Eighth Realm in the team, muttered to himself.

"But why do I always feel somewhat restless?"

Ling Hanfei's brows gently furrowed, his fingers moved like phantoms, attempting to deduce something from the murky future, yet it was all in vain.

He was the lead cultivator of this Abyss Cultivator group attempting to break out, and although he wasn't the strongest among those at Great Perfection of the Eighth Realm in the Abyss, he was the most cautious.

Ever since he started cultivating, his intuition had been the reason he could cultivate so steadily to this point, sometimes even having vague premonitions about certain matters.

"This matter is indeed too strange..."

Ling Hanfei gently pressed his brow with his right hand, contemplating this mission.

The strange mission, strange orders, strange route, strange intuition.

The mission was still to break through outward, to see if they could infiltrate the interior of the Mystical Mechanism Continent to stir up some sabotage from within, diverting their focus.

Similar missions had been carried out multiple times by the Abyss before, but without exception, all had failed.

Ling Hanfei had thought such missions would no longer be attempted, but unexpectedly, after such a long time since the last failure, the higher-ups suddenly decided to try again.

The idea was simply outrageous! Ling Hanfei did not think there would be any turnaround this time.

But with orders from above, Ling Hanfei reluctantly took on the mission, leading the thousands of cultivators out of the Abyss.

His cautious nature made him not choose to charge through directly. Instead, while still a certain distance from the border, he chose to stop and conceal their presence.

The moment Ling Hanfei and his men quietly emerged from the Abyss, they have been completely concealed from detection, which the Mystical Mechanism side would not have allowed if they could detect them.

Under the Array's coverage, this area appeared as nothing more than an ordinary expanse of desert from the outside world, with not even a desert lizard in sight, only the blowing yellow sand.

Moreover, inside the Array, Ling Hanfei used Daoist Skill to create a strange space where everyone hid, so even if someone accidentally entered into the Array, they wouldn't detect them.

They had been hiding here for three days. Ling Hanfei used various methods to investigate their intended path thoroughly, yet he found no abnormalities, seeming only to be wasting time.

"Master Ling, how much longer do we need to hide here?"

A Cultivator of the Seventh Realm, shrouded in black mist and unrecognizable, approached and quietly asked.

From the moment they left the Abyss, they had been wrapping themselves in Abyss Demon Qi to prevent Cultivators proficient in divination from the Mystical Mechanism forces from discovering them.

But no one had discovered them for such a long time, and they should have been able to pass through successfully, but Ling Hanfei kept wasting time.

"If you want to die, go by yourself; if you don't want to die, keep your mouth shut."

Ling Hanfei glanced coldly at the Seventh Realm cultivator, speaking without any politeness.

The cultivators with him all had substantial cultivation levels, as those with low cultivation would be easily seen through because they needed to stay hidden.

These cultivators had been summoned from various sects and although they had certain strengths, they lacked discipline.

They followed Ling Hanfei's orders partly because of the summons from the Abyss Envoy and partly because Ling Hanfei was stronger than them.

The cultivator was choked by Ling Hanfei's blunt words, turning to look at the white-haired youth beside Ling Hanfei. But upon seeing that the white-haired youth was closing his eyes and staying silent, he left in frustration.

"Continuing like this isn't the solution."

Right after the Seventh Realm cultivator departed, the white-haired, haughty youth opened his eyes and looked at Ling Hanfei.

The youth was none other than the White Tiger Envoy, Bai Sheng.

After following Tian Anyu and turning to the Abyss, Bai Sheng, with his status, could have directly become an Abyss Envoy.

Unfortunately, he suffered backlash during his breakthrough, falling from Great Perfection at the Eighth Realm to the early stages of the Eighth Realm.

While a cultivator at Great Perfection of the Eighth Realm with the spirit of the White Tiger could command respect, one at the early stages of the Eighth Realm could not.

Even though the Abyss was willing, Bai Sheng himself did not want to take on the role of Abyss Envoy in such a humiliating manner and be ridiculed by others.

So, he had been in seclusion lately, trying to quickly remedy the backlash and restore his strength.

But the results were extremely minimal, causing immense frustration in Bai Sheng's heart.

Moreover, after arriving at the Abyss, he also encountered Qiu Feng, who had "fought side by side" with him in the Blood Demon Secret Realm before.

Since Abyss Envoys tend to be lone wolves, and with Qiu Feng frequently inviting the White Tiger Envoy, it led others to mistakenly believe they had a good relationship.

In reality, Qiu Feng was just seizing opportunities to mock Bai Sheng, reproaching him for his passive observance and non-assistance last time.
