"Brother."
Zhan Yun’s spirit continuously explored outward. Among the group, although she was severely injured, she had comprehended a certain law that allowed her to quickly heal her wounds.
As she gradually recovered, her condition was actually the best.
She looked at Zhan Feng, her voice somewhat hoarse as she broke the heavy silence.
"The boundaries of this world are becoming increasingly blurred."
"I feel like we’re not inside a Secret Realm that has undergone a mutation, but rather trapped in the ever-expanding belly of a monster."
Hearing the worry in his sister’s voice, Zhan Feng also lifted his bloodshot eyes and looked toward the dark and oppressive sky outside the rock cavern.
His character was typically rugged yet attentive, not usually drawing attention.
But in such a critical situation, how could he not pay close attention to all the changes around him?
Under his gaze, the scene was anything but unchanging. Occasionally, shadows of massive unknown creatures’ bones drifted by like mountains amidst the twisting space turbulence.
"I’ve felt the same way."
Shaking his head, Zhan Feng spoke with a low voice, carrying an unusual sense of helplessness:
"It’s like... it’s like those damned things out there are getting smarter. Even the spatial fissures are moving, it’s too bizarre."
Both he and Zhan Yun had survival methods, no matter the crisis here; they could survive. But too many geniuses were connected with this journey into the ancient path.
If something major really happened, their positions within the War Alliance would also be affected.
After all, the War Alliance is not dominated solely by the Zhan Family.
It also contains various intertwined interests.
His thoughts grew increasingly complicated.
Just as he wanted to say something more, Yu Sha coughed weakly beside him, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s, yet that name instantly captured everyone’s attention.
"Jiang Shu, he..."
"Jiang Shu..."
The familiar figure suddenly emerged vividly.
Zhan Feng clenched his fist abruptly, his nails digging deep into his palm with a thread of crimson seeping out.
He recalled Jiang Shu’s resolute back as he held the line, the small figure resembling a moth flying into the flames under the colossal Ancient Demon Image, burning silver Dao Flame.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but what came out was hoarse.
"Jiang Shu... should be okay, right."
His tone carried no bravado, only heavy guilt and unspeakable fear.
The strength of the Ancient Demon Image penetrated his bones. Jiang Shu staying alone left little possibility of survival.
Zhan Feng couldn’t even imagine where Jiang Shu’s escape route might be.
Zhan Yun’s eyes shimmered with tears, biting her lip to hold back something.
Lan Xi buried her face deeper into her knees, her frail shoulders slightly trembling.
Silence enveloped once more.
Every minute and every second seemed extraordinarily prolonged.
Aside from the groans of the wounded, there was the faint twisting hum from outside the rock cavern caused by the unstable spatial structure, and the occasional muffled sound of unknown energy collisions erupting in the distance.
This unknown enemy, this worsening environment, and the enormous shadow of lost Jiang Shu, the strongest combat force, weighed like lead on everyone’s hearts, making even breathing difficult.
Suddenly, Zhan Yun jerked her head upward, her hawk-like sharp gaze piercing through the rock cavern entrance, fixed firmly on a distant point.
"Did you all feel that?"
Zhan Yun’s voice carried a hint of astonishment.
Almost simultaneously, Zhan Feng, Yu Sha, and others sensed it.
An extremely distant yet extremely clear energy storm!
It did not originate from the space turbulence surrounding them but from a deeper direction in space!
The fluctuation carried chaotic fury, filled with destructive energy collisions. But at the core of those fierce energy collisions, there was a faint familiar and incredibly resilient space shockwave!
"Is it... is it Jiang Shu?!"
A sudden abnormal flush surged on Yu Sha’s pale face, and she gasped unstable in surprise.
Zhan Feng stood up abruptly, the pain from his broken arm causing his body to shake, but he paid no heed, his eyes fiery red, staring toward that direction as if wanting to penetrate through layers of solidified and twisted space barriers.
"It’s him!"
"My perception isn’t wrong!"
Zhan Yun’s voice was decisive, a sharp glow bursting from her eyes, seemingly suppressing the previous fatigue momentarily.
"He’s still fighting!"
"After so long, how does he still have strength left? Is he being held by something, or is he fighting desperately?"
The words "fighting desperately" carried an indescribable weight and concern.
What kind of enemy could make those so far away from its end feel such terrifying fluctuations?
What condition is Jiang Shu in now?
The waves of hope and despair fiercely assaulted their minds.
Knowing Jiang Shu is still alive is immense hope.
But pondering the terrifying pressure he faces, the despair instead weighs heavier.
They’re trapped here, struggling even to ensure their own safety, utterly powerless to provide support!
"Should I go see..."
Zhan Feng roared into the endless darkness, his voice hoarse like a broken drum, taking a step forward, but his gaze remained fixed on Zhan Yun.
He wasn’t afraid, but anxious. If he went, the crisis encountered here would have to be shouldered alone by his sister.
At this moment, he felt immense regret for being somewhat complacent after venturing out this time, failing to practice diligently. Otherwise, even a small realm advancement would spare him from such wretchedness.
"Brother... if you go in this state... you might only burden Jiang Shu..."
