The Dragon Corpse is also a factor they need to consider if they want to get out.
Furthermore, the previous commotion by the Dragon Corpse might have already attracted the Jiao Long Clan.
Therefore, they need to be cautious, very cautious.
Mu Rufeng was nearby, he pulled out several Spirit Fish from the Item Slot and stuffed them directly into his mouth, chewing on them.
Even if the Spirit Fish are dead, the taste hasn’t changed; they’re still just as delicious.
It would taste even better with some seasoning, but Mu Rufeng didn’t have any on him.
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
For an hour, Mu Rufeng repeatedly ate the fish and refined them, ate and refined.
His cultivation made a minor breakthrough, reaching the mid-stage of the Heart Refining Realm, and his three-dimensional attributes also improved to varying degrees.
At this time, the Seventh Ancestor and the others also woke up.
All their energy expended in the canyon was fully restored, putting them at their peak state.
The group resumed their journey, boarding the flying shuttle once again.
Even though they traveled a long route, the Seventh Ancestor’s memory allowed them to remember all the paths.
An hour and a half later, they returned to the crevice entrance.
However, they didn’t dare get close, instead lurking five miles away from the entrance.
"Old Lu, you’re fast, go take a look." The Seventh Ancestor looked at Lu Ancestor and said.
"Alright." Lu Ancestor nodded, and then his figure vanished.
Mu Rufeng kept observing the surroundings but couldn’t locate any trace of Lu Ancestor.
His strength was still too weak; he couldn’t track such a formidable expert.
As he cautiously approached, with 500 meters left to go, he suddenly sped up, heading toward the crevice exit above.
But in the next second, a dragon roar echoed from the depths of the earth.
Upon hearing it, Lu Ancestor’s expression changed slightly. Not daring to advance, he quickly retreated and darted off into the distance.
Immediately, the Dragon Soul emerged once again.
This time, it directly chased after Lu Ancestor.
A terrifying roar was heard.
In the distance, Lu Ancestor stumbled, his face turning pale in an instant.
A mysterious power quickly rose from Lu Ancestor, restoring some color to his face, and then his speed suddenly increased sharply.
At the same time, he turned around and punched out fiercely.
The terrifying force exploded in front of the Dragon Soul.
However, the Dragon Soul was not hindered in any way, as if it didn’t exist in this world, perfectly penetrating the explosive force.
Seeing this, Lu Ancestor dared not attack again and quickly fled, losing the Dragon Soul behind him.
After chasing for about two miles, the Dragon Soul stopped, then stared intently at the fleeing Lu Ancestor.
After a long while, it slowly turned and flew back, disappearing underground.
"This guy is a Dragon Soul, our attacks are ineffective against it, a spiritual attack is needed. Its pursuit range should be within two miles of the Dragon Corpse." Lu Ancestor returned, still somewhat shaken.
It had to be said, the Dragon Soul was truly horrifying.
With powerful offensive capability, followed by a Spiritual Attack, and their Martial Arts Secret Technique seemed to have no effect on the Dragon Soul.
"So, this Dragon Soul is alive, and it’s waiting for us?" the Sixth Ancestor said.
"It seems we need to plan well." The Seventh Ancestor murmured.
"If the Dragon Soul is guarding there, with our strength, it seems we can’t get out." Mu Rufeng also spoke.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared at the crevice entrance.
Mu Rufeng, who was constantly watching that side, noticed it immediately.
"Ancestors, look, there’s someone at the crevice entrance, it seems to be from the Demon Clan." Mu Rufeng immediately said.
The three of them immediately looked over when they heard this, and sure enough, a figure had appeared.
The person’s strength wasn’t bad, a God Realm expert, with a strong Demon Qi aura, presumably from the Demon Clan.
Looking at the appearance again, it wasn’t from the Jiao Long Clan but from the Snake Clan.
"It’s the Snake Clan. The Snake Clan is a subordinate tribe of the Jiao Long Clan. As expected, we’ve been discovered by the Jiao Long Clan, or rather, the Dragon Soul’s disturbance attracted the Jiao Long Clan." The Seventh Ancestor’s expression grew somewhat grave.
This means that the Jiao Long Clan is likely already guarding at the crevice entrance.
Even if they managed to avoid the Dragon Soul and get out successfully, they would still face interception by the Jiao Long Clan’s experts.
The Snake Clan expert descended from above, then after searching around for a bit, flew back and disappeared into the vortex entrance.
This scene left the group rather surprised.
"Why didn’t the Snake Clan attract the Dragon Soul out?" Mu Rufeng was slightly taken aback and said.
"Could it be... we are humans, so we attract that Dragon Soul?"
"It could also be because we disturbed the Dragon Soul’s slumber, which is why it came after us?"
A while later, a few more figures descended from above.
Among them was a familiar face, the Jiao Long King, the one seen at the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet.
After attending the banquet, the Jiao Long King didn’t linger in the Imperial City and left directly.
Considering the time, it makes sense that he could return to the Jiao Long Clan’s territory.
After the Jiao Long King came down, he also surveyed the area, even expanding the scope to a five-mile radius.
Mu Rufeng and the others didn’t move, as the Jiao Long King’s strength alone was not enough to detect their hidden presence.
After finding nothing, the Jiao Long King left Netherworld through the vortex entrance.
"It seems the Jiao Long Clan hasn’t discovered us yet, so only God Realm guards are outside."
