The three stared in astonishment at this strange world. "Where is this?" Pei Xuan exclaimed.
Xu Yuehuai frowned. "I don't know either, but we must find a way out as soon as possible."
Qi Guze calmly said, "We need to figure out the rules and principles of this space first."
So the three of them began to explore this strange space.
They discovered that time seemed to be unlimited here, as if everything had stood still.
Xu Yuehuai felt as if it were all an illusion, as if she were dreaming.
She realized that they might be under the influence of hallucinogens, which was why they were behaving this way.
"This world is so amazing. Will we be trapped here forever?" Pei Xuan said, walking around and noticing a lot of gems nearby. He took some out and put them in his pocket.
"No, don't touch those things!"
Xu Yuehua shouted and pushed Pei Xuan away, preventing him from touching those things.
But Pei Xuan seemed to have suddenly become a different person, his eyes were bloodshot and his temper was volatile.
"What are you doing? Do you intend to keep all these treasures for yourself?"
"I don't have any, but these things are probably poisonous!"
Xu Yuehuai explained somewhat anxiously.
But Pei Xuan wouldn't listen to a single word Xu Yuehuai said, and pushed her to the ground. "Don't think I don't know, you want to take it all by yourself!"
Xu Yuehuai felt particularly helpless and didn't know how to explain, so she grabbed Pei Xuan's hand and said, "These things really can't be touched!"
"Let go of me!" Pei Xuan shook off Xu Yuehuai's hand, ran to a corner, squatted down, and picked up a gemstone.
"Hahaha, I finally got the treasure!" Pei Xuan suddenly burst into laughter.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze were both stunned by what they saw. "What's wrong with him?"
Qi Guze shook his head. "I don't know. It seems like something has affected his mind."
Xu Yuehuai also realized the seriousness of the problem, "Then we need to think of a solution quickly."
"Let's get the gems back first," Qi Guze said, rushing towards Pei Xuan.
But Pei Xuan vanished in an instant and reappeared behind them.
"Hahaha, do you think these things are so easy to take back?" Pei Xuan laughed maniacally.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze exchanged a glance, realizing the situation was dire. "Let's join forces and subdue him first," Xu Yuehuai suggested.
Qi Guze nodded in agreement, "Okay!" They cautiously approached Pei Xuan, preparing to strike at the opportune moment.
However, when they finally had the chance to subdue Pei Xuan, he suddenly let out a long roar and unleashed a powerful burst of internal energy.
This internal force sent them flying, rendering them unable to move for a moment.
"Hahaha, you greedy humans, if you want to take back these treasures, you'll have to get past me first!" Pei Xuan laughed loudly.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze struggled to their feet.
Xu Yuehuai heard Pei Xuan's voice and realized it sounded like a different person, indicating that something was wrong with him.
"Who exactly are you?" Xu Yuehuai asked loudly.
"I am the master of this secret realm, and these treasures are mine. You can't take them away!" Pei Xuan roared madly.
Xu Yuehuai's heart tightened. "Then how can we leave here?" she asked hurriedly.
Pei Xuan sneered, "Leave here? Do you think it's that simple?"
"Unless you can defeat me, don't even think about leaving!"
Qi Guze said coldly, "Then you'd better keep your word!"
They joined forces to attack Pei Xuan again, but his strength seemed exceptionally powerful, leaving them unable to defend themselves for a time.
Xu Yuehuai was extremely anxious. "This can't go on," she said to Qi Guze.
Qi Guze also realized that they seemed unable to defeat Pei Xuan in his berserk state. "We need to think of a way."
Suddenly, Xu Yuehuai had a flash of inspiration, "Maybe I can try to communicate with him."
Qi Guze was taken aback. "Are you really sure you can do it?" he asked with some concern.
Xu Yuehua nodded. "I'll give it a try."
She took a deep breath and walked towards Pei Xuan.
“We didn’t come here to steal your treasure,” Xu Yuehuai said. “We just stumbled into this secret realm by mistake and don’t know anything about it.”
Pei Xuan sneered, "Do you think I would believe your words?" he mocked.
Xu Yuehuai did not give up. "We are not here for the treasure. Our goal is to find a way out," she said firmly.
Pei Xuan seemed somewhat shaken, but still refused to believe them. "Why should I believe you greedy humans?"
Xu Yuehuai took a deep breath. "We are not here for the treasure. Our goal is to find a way out." She said firmly, "If you let us go, we will be extremely grateful for your kindness."
Pei Xuan paused for a moment, seemingly deep in thought. "Are you really not after the treasure?" he asked.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze exchanged a glance and nodded in unison, "We swear that we are absolutely not here for the treasure."
Pei Xuan sneered, "You're definitely lying to me. Don't think I'm that easy to fool."
As soon as he finished speaking, his aura surged, and he launched a frenzied attack on them.
"None of you will leave here alive today!"
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze exchanged a glance, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes. They decided to join forces and engage in a life-or-death struggle with Pei Xuan.
The three figures clashed, their attacks and defenses fraught with peril.
Qi Guze's sword energy was like a rainbow, clashing with Pei Xuan several times, sparking brilliant sparks.
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.
Pei Xuan, as expected of the master of the secret realm, possessed unfathomable strength. He blocked Qi Guze's fierce attack with one hand and swung his other hand at Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai swayed, narrowly avoiding Pei Xuan's attack, and at the same time struck out with a palm, colliding head-on with Pei Xuan.
The violent internal energy exploded between the three people, causing the entire space to tremble.
But Pei Xuan's power seemed inexhaustible, and every time at a crucial moment, he would unleash a powerful energy that forced Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai to retreat.
"This can't go on," Xu Yuehuai said to Qi Guze while fending off Pei Xuan's attacks.
"I know, but we can't think of a better solution right now," Qi Guze replied, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes.
They understood that if they couldn't find a breakthrough soon, they might be trapped in this secret realm by Pei Xuan forever.
Xu Yuehuai suddenly thought of a good idea. "Perhaps we can use a feint to the east while attacking the west," she said to Qi Guze.
Qi Guze's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. I'll help you."
They coordinated perfectly, launched a swift attack, and forced Pei Xuan to retreat.
