Six drops of blood essence were forced out of Gu Liyan's body and surrounded the dragon and tiger. The two looked at the blood essence full of life energy and their joy was self-evident.

At that moment, the dragon and the tiger swallowed their own lifeblood. The next second, a crimson light burst forth from their small bodies.

In contrast, Gu Liyan's face beneath the mask was eerily pale. He looked on helplessly as they swallowed his music.

"Why are you all in such a hurry? You're already preparing to break through?!"

Seeing An Qianshan lying unconscious to the side, Gu Liyan had no choice but to act as their bodyguard.

The dragon and the tiger were completely bathed in red light. This dazzling light was particularly eye-catching in the darkness, and the powerful life force they exuded attracted the attention of the surrounding monsters.

Suddenly, the area around Longhu Mountain was filled with the aura of many powerful figures.

Gu Liyan had no time to recover from the depletion of his energy. He suddenly stood up and looked around warily. The surroundings were so quiet that no demonic beasts dared to venture into their area. However, this did not mean that the human race's experts were ignoring this. The group of human race experts who surrounded Longhu Mountain were the ones who had surrounded it!

Gu Liyan turned her head and looked at the two divine beast bosses who didn't care about the safety of the outside world at all and were only focused on breaking through the Xuan Gate. She almost went crazy.

After thinking it over, Gu Liyan could only go to the trouble of setting up an array around them again.

The group of six people who had climbed Longhu Mountain gathered together. Although the strongest among them was only at the peak of the fifth level of the Wind Control Realm, the sense of danger they posed to Gu Liyan was not to be underestimated.

"Huh? That's strange. Didn't we just walk through this place?" Zhang Wei looked at the open space in front of him and felt that the environment was somewhat familiar, so he immediately spoke up.

"Brother Wei, you know what, we really were here just now!" The lean young man looked nervous.

Zhang Wei frowned and said:

"You three go over there, you two come with me this way!"

Gu Liyan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the six figures depart from inside the formation. At this moment, he remained vigilant at all times.

Looking up at the horizon, the dim night was about to pass; the sky was beginning to lighten, and the darkness was about to fade.

After several group operations, Zhang Wei and his companions finally met up again after going around in circles!

But this place is the starting point from which they can never leave!

The group looked at each other, all with bitter expressions.

"What on earth is going on?! Could there be ghosts in this world?"

"What if we can't get out? Wouldn't we be trapped here and die?"

Seeing his companion's mental breakdown, Zhang Wei felt a pang of fear. He sighed, "I, Zhang Wei, have cultivated diligently for over thirty years and have finally reached the peak of the fifth level of Wind Control. Am I destined to be trapped and die in this maze?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei clenched his fist in uncontrollable rage and slammed it into a nearby tree with all his might. Instantly, the entire space reverberated with the power of his domain.

The domain was transmitting immense power. Gu Liyan, who was meditating and resting, was suddenly affected by this power. His pale face changed abruptly, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, which splattered on the ground...

Zhang Wei's actions did not provoke any dissatisfaction from his companions. Just then, one of them suddenly noticed a pool of blood on the ground not far away. He abruptly stood up, grabbed his weapon, and stabbed in the direction Gu Liyan was heading—

"Ah..." The sharp edge arrived before Gu Liyan could react. He let out a miserable cry and was caught off guard by the sword. The formation was forced to dissipate immediately.

The formation disappeared, and Gu Liyan's figure appeared before everyone's eyes, including the two divine beasts that Gu Liyan was protecting, whose bodies were radiating holy light!

"So it was you who did this!" Zhang Wei saw Gu Liyan appear and immediately understood. His face twisted with ruthlessness as he said, "Let's all go and kill this guy!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan hurriedly retreated, and the other five quickly reacted, surrounding Gu Liyan and then charging forward with their weapons raised.

Gu Liyan, clutching the wound on his shoulder, hurriedly said, "Everyone, there was a reason why I set up the formation. Please forgive me!"

"Enough with the nonsense, prepare to die!"

Seeing the murderous intent emanating from everyone and their complete disregard for his words, Gu Liyan immediately activated her domain, "Mystic Ice Domain—" without hesitation.

The moment the domain opened, everyone froze, but since each of them was a master at the peak of the Wind Control realm, they were able to withstand some of the attack.

"We can't let this kid expand his domain too much, we need to finish him off quickly!" Zhang Wei immediately shouted.

Immediately, everyone charged towards Gu Liyan as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

Gu Liyan's expression changed drastically. He flipped his hand and took out a red umbrella to set up a protective shield, but even so, he was still surrounded by enemies and could not defend himself.

Gu Liyan, masked, was deathly pale, his face drenched in sweat, and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto his white robes. "Why are you forcing me so relentlessly?"

Before he could finish speaking, a burly man suddenly leaped up from behind, wielding a heavy hammer, and struck Gu Liyan hard in the back. Gu Liyan immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggered forward a few steps, and then regained his balance.

Just as Gu Liyan staggered, two burly men wielding knives attacked from both sides, leaving deep cuts in Gu Liyan's chest and back respectively.

Despite the pain, Gu Liyan immediately grabbed the red umbrella and swept it across the area before hastily retreating to the side. Covered in blood, Gu Liyan's legs trembled. Facing the five menacing figures, Gu Liyan forcibly used the red umbrella to support her body.

Just then, Zhang Wei's surprised voice rang out: "So this is a divine beast breaking through!"
