"Humans are selfish by nature, Huang Yuan. If people really knew that we were being pursued by Feng Ping and his followers, the first thing they would do is probably to quickly escape and distance themselves from us."

"Haha, your idea is good, but it's too naive. It's the perspective of a scholar, winning on paper, completely useless!"

"Forget about it, your suggestion is not feasible. Just sit tight and listen to my arrangement."

"Yes!" Wang Su agreed, full of helplessness.

"Old Huang, just now, I received a piece of information from Chen Ming's subordinate, Huang Luo. It says that Chen Ming and his team are currently four hundred and seventy kilometers northeast of us, and they want us to get closer and join them to resist the powerful enemies of the Heavenly Court together."

Yan Qingxu frowned, holding a Dao Talisman similar to Huang Luo's, suddenly spoke to Huang Yuan.

At that moment, the group, whether it was Huang Yuan, Yan Qingxu himself, Zhu Fuchen, Zhao Yaogu, or Yu Wen'en, had almost fully recovered after some rest and the healing power of Life Force. Although not as formidable as during their prime, they were ready for battle.

Hearing this, Huang Yuan was pleased, "Cooperate? This is good news! That Chen Ming, surprisingly mindful of the bigger picture! Where are they? Let's immediately get closer and join them. Chen Ming's power is not weaker than ours. If we join forces, we can kill more Heavenly Court Mutated Beings."

As he spoke, he stood up, his whole body flashing with the Five-Color Light Spectrum, preparing to use Escape Art immediately to lead the group and join Chen Ming.

"Wait! Wait!"

Yan Qingxu urgently reached out to grab Huang Yuan, "Old Huang, how can you trust anything Chen Ming, that cunning person, says? If he had the ability to attack the Heavenly Court, why would he want us to join him? From my understanding of him, it's clear that his team is heavily damaged and in great danger, so he sent us this information, wanting to drag us down with him."

"This..."

Getting startled by this, Huang Yuan immediately grew vigilant, his expression changed to seriousness as he stared at Yan Qingxu, "You don't have to remind me. I almost forgot, that Chen Ming is indeed a low character. This information probably has exactly the kind of issue you described."

Yan Qingxu glared at Huang Yuan without losing his temper. Was there even a probability of a problem? It was certainly one hundred percent problematic.

He didn't bother to argue with Huang Yuan and turned his head to glance at Zhu Fuchen, "Old Zhu, please use your Raven Technique to scout the surroundings and particularly check if Chen Ming and his people are visible within four hundred kilometers southeast. Also, check if there are any traces of Heavenly Court Mutated Beings."

"Alright! That man Chen Ming is a villain, full of deceit, not a single word from his mouth can be trusted. I will scout right away!"

Zhu Fuchen chuckled, steadied himself, and then, above him in the sky, a cluster of dark clouds suddenly appeared.

As soon as the dark clouds appeared, they transformed into four ravens and flew off in the directions of east, south, west, and north from the sky.

These ravens, composed entirely of black smoke, were very light and as fast as a whiplash, disappearing into the sky in no time.

A minute or two later, the ravens flew back from the four directions, reverting to a cloud which then dispersed.

Zhu Fuchen came to his senses and said seriously, "Chen Ming is southeast of us, about two hundred kilometers away, and he is coming toward us with three people."

"Approximately one hundred kilometers behind him, a group of Heavenly Court experts led by Feng Ping is pursuing him."

"I knew it! That shameless person!" Yan Qingxu cursed upon hearing, extremely furious, "Chen Ming, the scoundrel, is being pursued by Feng Ping from the Heavenly Court. Only three of his subordinates are left, which means most of his men were killed by the Heavenly Court pursuit."

"Drawing near us is nothing but a ruse to pass the buck, using our strength to divert Feng Ping away so that he can slip away. Ridiculous, shameless!"

"Almost fell for that scoundrel's trick!"

Huang Yuan grumbled, his face carrying a vexed fury, and said with annoyance, "Don't let me run into this scoundrel alone, or he'll get what's coming to him."

"Now is not the time to discuss this. Chen Ming is approaching, and so are the people from the Heavenly Court. To avoid a direct confrontation with them, we better quickly leave this place." Yan Qingxu interrupted Huang Yuan to make a suggestion.

"Let's go!" Huang Yuan had no objections, and upon hearing the proposal, he immediately released the Five-Color Light and executed the Escape Art, teleporting toward the northwest.

Swish swish swish! Swish swish swish!

Zhu Fuchen, Yan Qingxu, Zhao Yaogu, and Yu Wen'en quickly followed suit.

All five of them swiftly performed the Escape Art and vanished from the spot.

"Inside the space rift, the Weird Blood Energy is even denser, which must be more beneficial for the absorption by the Blood Cloud Flag. Let me control the Blood Cloud Flag to enter the rift and absorb within it."

Xiao Mu, after watching the Blood Cloud Flag absorb for a while, noticed that as the concentration of Weird Blood Energy released by the space rift decreased, the absorption speed of the Blood Cloud Flag slowed down too. After glancing at the flag, he decided on this course of action.

Then, Xiao Mu pointed at the Blood Cloud Flag with his hand.

Sizzle!

A cluster of True Force shot out from his hand and struck the Blood Cloud Flag directly.

The Blood Cloud Flag received this cluster of True Force and immediately emitted Blood Light. Under Xiao Mu's control, it very spiritually flew toward the inside of the space rift.

Sizzle! Wuwu!

Inside the space rift, the Weird Blood Energy was indeed richer. Xiao Mu, with his Divine Sense attached to the flag body, observed closely the scene within the space rift.

After this careful observation, he couldn't help but be startled. Rather than call it a space rift, it would be better described as a Space Gate.

This Space Gate opened up a space leading directly to another airspace.

In that airspace, from a distance, Blood Qi was soaring into the sky, and below it was a churning Sea of Blood.

This Sea of Blood seemed immense and boundless, stretching beyond sight, and the whole sea was filled with extremely thick blood.

Wuwu! Aw~

Inside the Blood Cloud Flag, the eerie face beneath the flag seemed to sense the Sea of Blood within the space rift and felt the immensely concentrated blood within it, immediately roaring in extreme excitement and agitation.

Not only that, but the eerie face under the flag began violently twisting and struggling, suddenly crashing fiercely onto the flag's surface.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each time the eerie face struck the flag surface, it caused the flag to quiver vigorously, twisting and swaying, giving an impression that it might tear open at any moment under the intense tension.

"Beast, courting death!"

Xiao Mu cursed in anger, hastily unleashing the supreme will of the Heavenly Emperor, manifesting a cluster of golden glow to suppress the eerie face.

Wuwu! Aw~

The purple-golden rosy clouds descended from the sky, plunging straight into the inner layer of the flag.

The flag and the surface immediately became covered in a layer of Purple Rosy Clouds, filled with Purple Light.

The eerie face within the flag let out shrill cries, appearing extremely painful, as it obediently retracted back inside the Blood Cloud Flag under the overwhelming suppression of the supreme will of the Heavenly Emperor.

Wuwu!

The flag, the surface, and the flagpole began absorbing the blood-red Weird Blood Energy inside the space rift.

Dense blood, attracted by the flag, formed vortexes in the air, as if a channel had opened, directly channeling into the Blood Cloud Flag.

The flag surface and body simultaneously began absorbing the Weird Blood Energy.

Gollum! Gollum-gollum!

The sound of violent gulping emanated from within the flag surface, and the eerie face took advantage of the situation to gulp down the Weird Blood Energy with large bites.

As the eerie face assimilated the Weird Blood Energy, its Momentum rapidly increased, even showing signs of transforming into the True God Level or True God.

The eerie face's speed of absorbing the Weird Blood Energy was exceptionally fast, even surpassing the flag's absorption speed by a significant margin.

As a result, most of the Weird Blood Energy absorbed by the Blood Cloud Flag ended up being consumed by the eerie face.

"This..."

Xiao Mu, through his Divine Sense, perceived the eerie face's actions and couldn't help being alarmed.

The eerie face's absorption speed was too rapid. From the space rift, even the continuous sound of it gulping the Weird Blood Energy, gollum-gollum, could be heard.
