"Nien Qi did not last more than three moves against that person. At that time, I was truly scared out of my wits and the only thing left in my head was Nien Qi's voice telling me to run."
Little crane's eyes were filled with guilt and self-blame as she lowered her head. "I know that I'm a coward for not choosing to fight alongside Nien Qi. However, I didn't even have the courage to fight against those people."
"I fled with all my might with only a single thought in mind – to find you and tell you about this! However, I didn't manage to escape far before I fell into the hands of the Rainbow Wolf Spiders. "
Linghu consoled hurriedly, "It's not your fault. You can't beat them either. If it was me, I would have fled as well."
Su Zimo patted little crane on the back of her hand gently. "You did the right thing. If you were truly hot-headed and fought against those people, you would only have lost your life for nothing."
"Furthermore, it's fortunate that you managed to escape. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known about you guys,"
Little crane's expression softened slightly.
Pondering for a moment, Su Zimo asked, "Did those people harm Nien Qi?"
"No,"
Little crane shook her head. "The leader merely captured Nien Qi alive and said that he would seek punishment from the elders. I didn't catch the rest."
At that point, little crane sighed. "The reason why I was able to escape wasn't because they couldn't catch up to me. It was because they didn't take me seriously at all. I'll never forget the way they looked at me – it was as though they were looking at an ant. "
Who would care about an ant that escaped?
After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo suddenly asked, "What did they look like?"
Little crane replied, "The seven of them were dressed in extremely ancient attire. All of them had golden hair, green eyes and straight noses. They were extremely handsome and easy to recognize."
When he heard that, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
In that case, Nien Qi's appearance was rather similar to those people.
During the battle at Misty Peak, Nien Qi had once unleashed his potential and his strength had skyrocketed.
His originally withered and yellow hair had also become as straight as a waterfall. His golden hair danced in the wind, and his eyes were blue. His magnificence was unparalleled, and he was like an inviolable deity!
Nien Qi's background was definitely related to these people!
But where did these people come from? Su Zimo couldn't say.
However, he had a vague guess in his heart.
"Judging from those people's attitudes, Nien Qi shouldn't be in any danger for the time being."
Su Zimo looked at the worried little crane and said gently, "Don't worry, leave this to me."
"Yes."
Little crane nodded.
If there was anyone in the Primordial Battlefield who could save Nien Qi, it would probably be Su Zimo.
"Let's go. Let's leave this place first and find a place to rest,"
Monkey, the Linghu and the Golden Lion were injured. Although they consumed many elixirs, they had to rest for a couple of days before they could recover fully.
For the next couple of days, Su Zimo and the others were not in a hurry to travel. Instead, they stayed in a cave for a couple of days.
They had already stayed in the Primordial Battlefield for more than a month.
Coupled with the rich spirit qi and the previous battle, Su Zimo's Jin Dan realm loosened and he finally sensed an opportunity to break through!
Within his dantian, above the Saraca Flower, a dazzling golden core was circulating slowly.
The aura within the Jin Dan was extremely complex.
There was the aura of the immortal and fiend Dao.
Those two auras were initially opposing each other. However, there was an additional aura of the Buddhist monasteries within the Jin Dan, forming a buffer that fused the immortal and fiend Daos together perfectly.
Su Zimo assumed a lotus position with his eyes closed and his black hair swayed without any wind.
On his left, mist rose and the phantom of a Divine Turtle appeared.
On his right, flames burned and the phantom of a Soaring Serpent descended.
Gradually, as time passed by, the aura within Su Zimo's body turned increasingly terrifying.
It lasted until … water and fire fused and the turtle and serpent coiled!
The entire void trembled!
A shuddering aura burst forth from Su Zimo's body like a visible ripple that spread through the cave.
Monkey and the others were alarmed and hurriedly hid, watching from the entrance of the cave.
Wherever the ripple extended, countless gravel would be reduced to nothingness!
It was as though the entire cave was sliced apart by a sharp blade!
Rumble!
Boom! The entire mountain quaked.
The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked!
Boom!
A deafening sound seemed to have echoed from Su Zimo's body.
Two divine lights shone within the cave.
Opening his eyes, Su Zimo bolted upright and howled into the skies!
His howl was loud and pierced through metal and stone!
Right in front of monkey and the others, Su Zimo spat out a stream of air that pierced through the stone wall above his head like a flying sword!
His breath was like a sword!
This was the limit of Perfected Being Jin Dan!
Success!
At this point of his cultivation, Su Zimo was already at the perfected Jin Dan realm!
With another step, he would be at the Nascent Soul realm and cultivate the legendary Essence Spirit to control Dharmic powers.
That cultivation speed was not considered top-notch.
However, Su Zimo cultivated both immortality and demonic. It was already rather rare for him to be able to reach this stage despite that.
Su Zimo's Jin Dan gradually faded and his aura was retracted. Peace returned to the cave.
Over the past few days, monkey and the others had made breakthroughs in their cultivation realms as well and were almost at the perfected Inner Core realm.
They had been by Su Zimo's side and devoured the flesh and blood with the strongest life essence. Coupled with the elixirs, it was only logical that they would be able to cultivate to this point.
For the past few days, little crane was still in low spirits.
It was not only because she was worried about Nien Qi – the greater reason was because she heard about the death of her kin.
Su Zimo could empathize with that feeling.
Linghu accompanied little crane the entire day, racking his brains to please her but to no avail.
This day, as though he had thought of something, Linghu was extremely excited and shouted in front of everyone, "Hey, hey, hey! I've got a suggestion …"
Pausing for a moment, Linghu took a deep breath and said seriously, "Let's become sworn siblings!"
"Sworn siblings?"
Monkey's eyes lit up.
All of them had an extremely deep relationship with one another.
Although the Golden Lion and little fox joined later, they had already integrated into the group after spending the past few days together.
Furthermore, be it little fox or Golden Lion, both of them had already received everyone's acknowledgment after the battle in the ancient city.
Naturally, the Golden Lion was elated.
Little fox would not decline as well.
After becoming sworn siblings, it would be even more logical for her to follow Su Zimo.
Little crane was invigorated when she heard that suggestion. Looking at monkey, Linghu and the others, her eyes regained some luster.
Su Zimo nodded to himself.
Although Linghu seemed carefree, this suggestion was not bad.
The reason why little crane was sad was because she had lost her kin. However, after becoming sworn siblings, it would mean that she would have a few more kin!
Monkey pondered for a moment and looked at Su Zimo, saying hesitantly, "Don't join us. You're a human after all. If you become sworn siblings with us, you'll definitely face a lot of trouble in the future."
"Hahahaha!"
Su Zimo burst into laughter. "Monkey, am I, Su Zimo, someone who's afraid of everything? While it's true that I'm a human, I insist on becoming sworn siblings with you guys. I'll accept all the trouble that comes my way! "
"Alright, let's do it together then!"
Monkey was filled with pride as well.
"Alright!"
Linghu cheered.
At that moment, nobody realized that a seemingly simple oath in this corner of the ancient battlefield would, to a certain extent, determine the future of Tianhuang Mainland!
