The next morning, as dawn broke and before anyone noticed, Lu Lishu, along with Long Peng and Long Yi, quietly left the Liuyue Sect.
Considering that there have been many more people watching them recently, the four of them not only changed their appearances but also used invisibility talismans before leaving the sect.
Only after they had passed through a group of spies hiding in the shadows and arrived in Liudan City did they find a safe corner, deactivate their invisibility, and swagger out of the city.
Even so, not long after they left the city, they discovered that they were being followed by quite a few people.
Without saying a word, they exchanged a glance and, in perfect unison, accelerated in the next moment, throwing a number of talismans behind them.
A quarter of an hour later, they successfully shook off the little tail behind them.
Then, the four of them didn't linger for long. They used several teleportation talismans to arrive at the Nexu Rift Valley, which is the location of the Qiyuan Secret Realm.
The Nexu Rift Valley is located between two continents in the southeast and is a famous dangerous place in the Daxu area. It is said that this rift valley existed when the Daxu area was formed.
The rift valley is flanked by towering, steep slopes, with a bottomless natural chasm in the middle.
Standing at the entrance of the rift and looking in, what comes into view is an endless abyss, like the gaping mouth of a giant beast, ready to devour everything around it at any moment, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.
Then came all sorts of strange sounds, like roars mixed with pity, weeping and wailing, which would probably scare the faint of heart.
The four exchanged glances and nodded. Then, Lu Li and Shushu took the lead, followed by Long Peng and Long Yi, forming two rows as they walked into the rift valley.
Perhaps because the news about the Qi Yuan Secret Realm has been so sensational lately, the Nexu Rift Valley, which was rarely visited in the past, has suddenly seen a surge in groups of three to five.
On the contrary, the stone beasts and miasma beasts that were once very active in the Nexu Rift Valley are now few and far between.
They walked for most of the day without encountering a single one, not knowing whether they were hiding or had been killed by people passing by.
However, the four of them didn't dwell on it too much. They just glanced at it briefly and then quickened their pace.
Soon, they distanced themselves from the people on both sides, and the surrounding groups, which had grown from small groups of three or five, eventually became so small that they might not see a single person even after walking for half an hour.
During this time, they also encountered several waves of attacks from stone beasts and miasma beasts.
However, the opponents were not very strong, and they didn't even need to work together; one of them could easily take them down.
They walked for another half a day, and as dusk fell, mist began to rise over the entire rift valley.
The four, who already knew the situation, immediately stopped, found a relatively flat place, and released the magical artifact house.
After setting up the formation around them, the four returned to the house, pairing up in twos: Shushu and Luli were responsible for guarding the first half of the night, while Longyi and Longpeng were responsible for guarding the second half.
The two dragons still had some trust in Shushu and Luli's abilities.
So, without any formalities or delays, Long Yi and Long Peng each chose a room, activated the isolation array, and went to meditate with their eyes closed.
In an instant, only the senior and junior disciples remained sitting in the courtyard.
By this time, it was completely dark outside, and the rift valley, which was clearly visible during the day, was now completely shrouded in fog.
These mists have the effect of isolating divine sense. It is said that in the innermost part of the rift valley, even the divine sense of a Mahayana stage expert can only detect a distance of less than three zhang around.
Of course, this refers to the inner perimeter. Although they had traveled all day, they were actually still on the outer perimeter.
Therefore, the two can still see the surrounding area within a radius of about thirty feet.
That is why the fellow disciples can see it clearly.
As night deepened, more and more figures appeared in the thick fog: stone beasts, miasma beasts, and all sorts of poisonous creatures.
Unlike their lively nature during the day, they now have blank stares, like marionettes, only knowing that they are gathering from all directions, more and more of them, and the procession is getting bigger and bigger.
They stopped when no more could squeeze in.
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing sound rang out abruptly.
The next moment, all the stone beasts, miasma beasts, and poisonous creatures seemed to have received some kind of command; their dazed eyes turned blood red, and their entire bodies exuded a violent aura.
Immediately afterwards, they disregarded everything and launched an attack on the area where Shushu and the others were.
In an instant, various colors of spiritual light burst forth, and colorful spells bloomed outside the formation, accompanied by a booming sound.
Fortunately, Shushu and his team's formation was powerful enough that it remained as solid as ever despite so many attacks, without a single crack.
Seeing this, Shushu breathed a sigh of relief, quietly lowered his raised hand, regained his composure, and began to look at the things outside with great interest.
At first, they just looked at it out of curiosity, but later, after discussing it with Lu Li, Shushu secretly dragged one back to study it.
Strangely enough, as soon as those dazed people were dragged in by the glutinous rice, their minds would quickly return to normal.
But once you throw them back, they will become numb again in no time and tireless.
After trying several times with the same result, Shushu changed direction and tried to capture some fog from outside to study.
Unfortunately, for some reason, she couldn't capture the mist no matter how hard she tried.
Even after Long Yi and Long Peng came out at the appointed time, she still hadn't found anything.
With no other option, Shushu had to give up for now and go back to meditate and rest.
In the days that followed, Shushu became completely obsessed with the fog, fighting and traveling during the day, and desperately trying to catch the fog at night.
Finally, just as they were about to reach their destination, Millet successfully used his Chaos Qi to capture the mist.
After many attempts, she made a very important discovery: the chaotic energy could actually suppress the mist.
By enveloping your body in chaotic energy, you can not only avoid the troubles of fog, but also make the dazed stone beasts, miasma beasts, and poisonous creatures ignore you.
In other words, having the Chaos Qi is equivalent to having an invisibility talisman in the Nexu Rift Valley, allowing her to move freely in the Nexu Rift Valley at night without worrying about being surrounded or attacked.
This was practically heaven itself feeding them; the millet was overjoyed and shared the news with the two dragons.
The two dragons were equally delighted. After discussing it amongst themselves, they changed their strategy, switching from traveling during the day to traveling both day and night.
Soon, they overtook the larger force that had preceded them and gradually approached the Qi Yuan Secret Realm.
That night, the four of them continued their journey in secrecy. Unexpectedly, they saw people from the Blue Pine Gate and the Four Directions Hall gathered together along the way.
