Ling Xueyan stared intently at the exquisite wooden box, her gaze as if drawn by a magnet.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her face.

You must understand that the fragments of the Primordial Chaos Realm contained in that exquisite wooden box were absolutely indispensable to her.

Without this crucial fragment of the map, all previous plans to open the Primordial Chaos Realm would be in vain.

In this way, her meticulous plans in the temple will inevitably fall apart!

However, if she rashly takes away the fragment of the Primordial World map at this moment, the consequences would be equally unimaginable.

Because doing so would unleash a terrifying ancient demon that has been sealed away for a long time!

Although he could escape this place quickly with his own strength, what should Qin Feng do?

Given his current condition, escaping successfully is virtually an impossible task.

If he were to encounter that terrifying ancient demon head-on, he would likely face a fate where he is almost certainly killed.

Thinking of this, Ling Xueyan's expression became increasingly gloomy and uncertain.

A complex mix of emotions swirled within her, plunging her into a deep state of turmoil and struggle.

On one hand, there is the crucial fragment of the map that determines the success or failure of the entire plan; on the other hand, there is the life-or-death crisis that his companion Qin Feng may face.

After a fierce internal struggle, reason ultimately prevailed over impulse.

Despite her reluctance, she had no choice but to abandon the idea of ​​taking the fragment of the Primordial Origin Realm map now.

Just as Ling Xueyan turned around gracefully and was about to leave, suddenly, a sinister and terrifying black mist rushed in from outside the tightly closed door of the secret room like a bolt of lightning!

The speed of this black mist was beyond imagination, like a sudden storm, so fast that Ling Xueyan didn't even have time to react or sense it before it swept past her like lightning.

When Ling Xueyan finally came to her senses, she was astonished to find that the mysterious black mist had somehow enveloped the exquisite wooden box and was hurtling towards the outside of the secret chamber at an astonishing speed.

Its speed was so swift, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, that it vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed.

Almost simultaneously, a burst of wild laughter from a white-clad youth, filled with sarcasm and disdain, suddenly rang out: "Hahahaha... Two foolish brats who overestimate their abilities, with your meager skills, you dare to dream of fighting me? What a pipe dream!"

The sound echoed endlessly in the empty, sealed room, lingering for a long time.

Ling Xueyan's pretty face instantly darkened like frost, a flash of anger crossed her beautiful eyes, and she muttered under her breath, "Damn it!"

Before she finished speaking, her lithe body flashed, and she chased after him as swiftly as an arrow released from a bow.

In that instant, Qin Feng, who had been immersed in absorbing the energy of the Divine Source Stone, suddenly opened his eyes. His brows furrowed, and his sharp gaze swept over Su Liyue and the other three beside him. He said in a deep voice, "This place is dangerous. Leave immediately!"

The white-robed youth has taken away the fragment of the Primordial World map. The ancient demon is likely to break through the seal and appear soon because of the loss of the map. At that time, they will probably all be unable to escape.

Although Su Liyue knew nothing about the ancient demons, she was very intelligent and, seeing Qin Feng's solemn expression, she knew that the situation was critical.

Without the slightest hesitation, she decisively bent down, gently embraced Qin Feng, and then transformed into a streak of light, speeding away from the secret chamber.

Its speed was as fast as lightning.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xuan and the other two were slightly taken aback, clearly caught off guard by the sudden turn of events.

However, after only a moment, they came to their senses, exchanged glances, and then used their movement techniques to closely follow behind Su Liyue.

Not long after those people left the secret chamber, pure and incomparably demonic energy suddenly began to slowly emanate from the floor of the chamber.

These demonic energies seemed to possess a life of their own; they rose like wisps of black smoke and then quickly spread, shrouding the entire secret chamber in darkness.

At the same time, a faint, sinister laugh also rang out.

The eerie laughter had a strange tone, sometimes low like muffled thunder, sometimes sharp like the howl of a demon, sending chills down one's spine.

It seemed to come from all directions, or perhaps it was hidden deep within the dense demonic energy, instantly transforming this originally ordinary secret room into something as terrifying as the deepest hell.

Immediately afterwards, demonic energy surged and rapidly spread outwards from the secret chamber.

The demonic energy spread rapidly at an astonishing speed, like a black tide.

In just a few breaths, it arrived silently behind Su Liyue and the others like a ghost.

Su Liyue, being the most perceptive among them, was the first to notice something amiss.

A sudden surge of unease welled up within her, and almost instinctively she turned to look.

However, the moment she turned her head, the sight before her made her face turn deathly pale.

The surging demonic energy swept towards them like a flood bursting its banks.

"Oh no! Everyone, increase your speed!" Su Liyue shouted in terror.

Hearing her call, Lin Xuan, Zhao Fei, and Li Yao all turned around at the same time.

That single, fleeting glimpse made their hearts seem to stop beating, and a deathly pallor spread across their faces.

What truly terrified them was not the surging demonic energy itself, but the extremely evil and chillingly terrifying pressure emanating from the depths of that energy.

This oppressive aura was like the roar of a demon from the deepest hell, carrying endless killing intent and destructive energy, sending chills down one's spine.

Even just a slight sense of its power would make one feel as if their soul were being torn to pieces, causing unbearable pain.

Su Liyue gritted her teeth, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead as she pushed her speed to its limit.

However, the ever-present demonic energy seemed to possess inexhaustible power, and its speed was even faster than hers.

Just as the terrifying demonic energy was about to catch up with them, Qin Feng suddenly broke free from Su Liyue's embrace at the critical moment.

Qin Feng, with a solemn expression and resolute gaze, shouted, "I'll hold them off for a while, you all run!"

Before he finished speaking, he casually waved his arm, and in an instant, a dazzling golden light burst forth from his body, like a blazing sun, illuminating the dim space around him.

This golden light carried an incomparably powerful aura, forcefully blocking the surging demonic energy at a certain distance for the time being.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan anxiously shouted, "No, Qin Feng, your divine power hasn't recovered yet, let me do it!"

As he spoke, Lin Xuan was about to rush forward to take over from Qin Feng.
