Xu Yuehuai closed her eyes tightly, concentrating on watching Pei Xuan's actions.

At one point, she saw Pei Xuan make another slight mistake, and she was overjoyed. "Now!" she shouted.

Qi Guze understood and quickly moved closer to Xu Yuehuai, simultaneously transmitting a surge of internal energy to her.

Xu Yuehuai's power surged, and she attacked Pei Xuan.

But at that moment, Pei Xuan discovered their intentions and launched a frenzied attack.

"You won't escape!" he roared, striking Xu Yuehuai with a palm.

Their attacks collided, and in an instant, a tremendous force pushed them backward.

Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze both fell to the ground and were unable to get up for a while.

But Pei Xuan suddenly launched a fierce attack on Xu Yuehuai!

Qi Guze stood in front of Xu Yuehuai, shielding her from the fatal blow.

"Qi Guze!" Xu Yuehuai exclaimed, pushing Qi Guze off her.

But Qi Guze had already coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

"No!" Xu Yuehua cried out in anguish, tears streaming down her face.

She raised her head, her eyes filled with determination, "I will definitely get you out of here safely!"

"You won't stop us here!"

She glared at Pei Xuan and said.

At this moment, the surrounding gems were damaged, and the space around them began to tremble, as if it were about to shatter.

"None of you are leaving!" Pei Xuan roared madly, attacking Xu Yuehuai again.

But Xu Yuehuai was already prepared. She took a deep breath, and a powerful internal force surged from her body. It was the force that Qi Guze had just injected into her body, and it had also contributed to her strength.

She clashed with Pei Xuan, their internal forces intertwined, and for a moment they were evenly matched.

Qi Guze suddenly stood up, holding a sharp sword, exuding a fierce aura, and confronted Pei Xuan.

"How are you?" Xu Yuehuai asked anxiously.

Qi Guze wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, shook his head to indicate that he was fine, "I can still hold on."

The two fought side by side, engaging in a thrilling battle against Pei Xuan.

Xu Yuehuai used a mysterious movement technique, sometimes appearing elusive and sometimes instantly appearing behind Pei Xuan, making it impossible for him to defend against her.

Qi Guze, relying on his superb swordsmanship, clashed with Pei Xuan several times, each time narrowly managing to withstand Pei Xuan's attacks.

Pei Xuan's current state of mind was worthy of the master of the secret realm, and his strength was unfathomable. However, under the combined attack of the two, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Suddenly, Xu Yuehuai spotted an opportunity. She flashed behind Pei Xuan and struck out with her palm, aiming straight for his vital point.

At the same time, Qi Guze launched a fierce attack, thrusting his sword into Pei Xuan's chest.

“You…” Pei Xuan trembled, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

But he did not give up resisting; instead, he frantically swung his fists, trying to break free from the two men's attacks.

In that life-or-death struggle, the entire space seemed to freeze.

Finally, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze struck Pei Xuan simultaneously. The violent internal force exploded within Pei Xuan's body, sending him flying and crashing heavily into the wall.

The entire secret realm trembled, as if it were about to collapse.

Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes.

They succeeded! They finally defeated Pei Xuan!

But at this moment, the entire secret realm began to collapse, and countless gems fell from the walls, emitting a dazzling light.

"Hurry up!" Xu Yuehua shouted, pulling Qi Guze towards safety.

At the same time, Qi Guze pulled the injured and unconscious Pei Xuan up and fled with him.

After all, Pei Xuan had only been mentally controlled; he didn't actually intend to harm them.

They didn't kill him; they just knocked him unconscious.

Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai fought with all their might, dodging the falling gems and collapsing walls, and finally broke out of the space at the last moment.

Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze also breathed a sigh of relief, "We need to find a way out as soon as possible."

They searched everywhere for an exit and finally found a portal in a hidden place.

They passed through the portal and returned to the secret realm.

When they returned to the valley, the secret realm had completely collapsed and turned into ruins.

The mysterious gem, like the treasure the Dark Night Alliance was searching for, vanished into the depths of the secret realm as a streak of light.

Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze exchanged a smile. "We're back successfully!" she said excitedly.

Qi Guze was also filled with emotion and breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, we really succeeded."

"This secret realm is far too dangerous."

"Thankfully, it's all over now."

"I really don't know if what just happened was an illusion or reality."

Xu Yuehuai didn't want Qi Guze to know about the mysterious power of time travel, so she spoke to him about it.

"We've probably been slightly poisoned too, and this might all be an illusion."

"Um."

Qi Guze was skeptical, but did not investigate further.

He said with emotion, "Thanks to you this time."

Xu Yuehuai smiled. "We can only escape danger by helping each other." She said modestly, "The most important thing now is to get out of here as soon as possible."

The two composed themselves and quickly left the valley.

On the way out, Xu Yuehuai suddenly remembered something, "What about the gem we just retrieved?" she asked curiously.

Qi Guze took the gem out of his pocket. "It's still in my pocket."

Xu Yuehuai took the gemstone and examined it carefully. "This gemstone is a bit strange," she said, frowning. "It seems to be different from others."

Qi Guze also realized this. "Yes, I felt it too," he said. "Perhaps we can take it back and study it carefully."

After discussing it, the two decided to take the gemstone back and search for clues.

They quickly left the secret realm and returned to the capital.

On their way back, they learned that after interrogation and investigation of those people in the secret realm, the traitors had been brought to justice one by one.

Based on their reports, the imperial court also strengthened its vigilance against the covert forces.

In the capital, Xu Yuehuai once again became a heroic figure, receiving people's respect and praise.

Her story was widely circulated, and even the children in the city knew about it and composed a nursery rhyme to praise her.

After going through all of this, Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai have become even closer.

They took Pei Xuan back to the mansion and quickly summoned the Ghost Doctor to treat him.

"Luckily you fed him the healing elixir I made, otherwise he probably wouldn't have made it this far."

"Who exactly hurt him?"

Why is it so serious?

The Ghost Doctor looked at Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai, who exchanged glances, unsure whether to tell the Ghost Doctor and the others about this.
