SuYisaid,"Now,itseemslikethereisnootherchoice,evenifwewantedtoleave,thereisnowayback."

ThroughouttheDivineSwordValley,notasinglebladeofgrassgrewonthemountains.Everywherewasanabsolutesilence.

SuYiandSituMuyangfledinhaste,witheerieskeletonschasingthemfrombehind.Fromadistance,thesightwasquiteunsettling.

Afteralongtime,theygraduallyapproachedthemassivemountainpeakahead.

However,inexplicably,theeerieandchillingatmospherethatfilledthespacegrewthickerandmoreterrifying.

"Boom!Boom!Boom!"

Suddenly,aloudcommotioneruptedahead,accompaniedbythemuffledsoundofenergysurges.SeveralfiguresappearedbeforeSuYiandSituMuyang.

"ItseemstobeYingQianqian,GongQi,andOuyangRan."

Fromadistance,SituMuyangrecognizedthethreeindividuals.ItwasindeedYingQianqian,GongQi,andOuyangRan.

SuYihadalsorecognizedthethreeindividuals.Heneverexpectedtoencounterthemhere,andtheytoowerebeingattackedbytheeerieskeletons.

Inthemidstofthebattleahead,thestrengthofthosethreepuppetsseemedincrediblyformidable.

"Run,quickly!"

SituMuyangexclaimedloudly,withoutanyhesitation.

"Go!"

SuYi’sgazegrewsolemn.Theseskeletonsweretoodifficulttodealwith.Now,therewasonlyoneoptionleft-togoupthemountain.

GongQi,YingQianqian,andOuyangRandidn’tdaretohesitateanymore.TheyimmediatelyfollowedcloselybehindSuYiwithalltheirmight.
