For several traditional hours, Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo, who were sitting cross-legged in meditation, finally awoke...
Duanmu Lian took a deep breath and said, "My state of mind has eased a lot. The spiritual impact earlier almost cast a shadow over me!"
Zhou Qingruo nodded in agreement, "Yes! With this spiritual impact, we'll likely be immune to spiritual attacks in the future."
Her words were not an empty boast; if they could withstand such an extreme spiritual impact, other spiritual impacts would stand no chance!
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng knew they were out of danger and chuckled, "It's good that there are no lingering effects. This was a close call with no harm done!"
After hearing these words, both Zhou Qingruo stood up and turned their beautiful eyes towards the massive white hole that had opened up ahead...
Indeed, this was the exit of the Secret Realm, and upon touching it, they would be transported out of the Xuanming Domain!
Of course, the location was random!!
In Duanmu Lian's eyes, a sharp light appeared, and she asked with a puzzled smile, "Xu Sheng, how did you break the virtual realm earlier?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingruo's beautiful eyes also turned towards Xu Sheng, filled with curiosity...
Xu Sheng smiled slightly and told them without reservation how she found the flaw and dispelled the illusion...
Suddenly, both of their faces showed thoughtful expressions!
The explanation matched what they had guessed, which dispelled the doubts in their hearts...
Xu Sheng glanced at them with her dark eyes and asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, we should make a quick exit from here!"
Zhou Qingruo, without any objection, agreed, "Yes! Let's leave this place quickly. There's no predicting if the illusion will reappear, and we might not be so lucky next time."
Duanmu Lian also patted her dust-laden robe and laughed lightly, "Then let's go. Just thinking about withstanding dozens of spiritual attacks at once is making my scalp tingle!"
With that, the three of them turned their gazes towards the cave radiating white light...
They then stepped into it together...
As blinding light flashed, their figures vanished from the spot...
...
In a moment of disorientation, the blinding white light gradually faded away...
The moment Duanmu Lian, sensing that she had arrived in the outside world, sighed, "We have finally left that Secret Realm!"
Zhou Qingruo, with a cold warning in her voice, said, "We can't let our guard down. The dangers of the Xuanming Domain are no less than those of the Secret Realm we just left!"
Just as she was about to ask Xu Sheng what they should do next...
The latter spoke first, "Qingruo, Miss Lian, you don't need to venture further. It's best you leave the Xuanming Domain quickly."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingruo's brow furrowed tightly, her voice tinged with displeasure, "Xu Sheng, what about you? Isn't it more dangerous for you to be alone in the Xuanming Domain?"
Duanmu Lian's expression also darkened as she said, "Xu Sheng, we know you have very important matters to attend to in the Xuanming Domain. Although we are not as strong as you, being by your side would at least offer some mutual support!"
Xu Sheng's dark eyes flickered with a hint of relief but still, she shook her head in refusal, "Better not. After all, I also have no clear idea what lies ahead in the place I am about to venture into!"
Even her own Divine Power could only sense a rough idea, which indicated that the place must be far from simple!
If Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo were with her, they would likely become a burden to her...
Zhou Qingruo's expression grew serious, and she bit her thin lips, "Xu Sheng, even if you say so, we can't leave you to go alone!"
"Yes, Xu Sheng, just take us with you. Do you think we'll be a drag?"
After saying those words, Duanmu Lian looked at Xu Sheng with a pitiful expression...
Xu Sheng almost instantly responded, "Of course not. This matter is a bit complicated to explain, so please, just go back quickly!"
Her words were filled with an unquestionable tone…
Duanmu Lian pursed her thin lips, her voice somewhat downcast as she said, "Xu Sheng…"
But Zhou Qingruo, standing beside her, spoke out to stop her, "Since Xu Sheng has made up his mind, let's leave the Xuanming Domain!"
She could feel Xu Sheng's determination, he would not allow the two of them to accompany him on his journey!
Duanmu Lian looked at Xu Sheng with a worried gaze and hesitated, "But Qingruo, Xu Sheng, all by himself…"
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Zhou Qingruo's words…
Zhou Qingruo calmly opened her mouth and said, "Xu Sheng is much stronger than us, there won't be any trouble if he goes alone, right?"
In her heart, she always believed that Xu Sheng would return unscathed!
Xu Sheng looked deeply at Zhou Qingruo and smiled, "Hmm! Don't worry, I won't get into any trouble!"
Seeing this, Duanmu Lian first bowed her head in silence for several seconds, then sighed tactfully, "Since Qingruo has said so, there's nothing more for me to say!"
She naturally did not wish for Xu Sheng to go alone, but since Zhou Qingruo, Xu Sheng's companion, said so…
As an "outsider," she had no reason to say anything more!
Then, the two of them spoke to Xu Sheng, "We'll leave first then, Xu Sheng, please take care!"
"Xu Sheng, you must not let anything happen to you! You must come back."
The next moment, Zhou Qingruo and Duanmu Lian turned and stepped away from the place!
Once their Spirit Force Fluctuations and figures had completely disappeared, Xu Sheng spoke, "They've left? Then it's time for me to head to that place now!"
The place he mentioned was naturally the rift in the Xuanming Domain that approached the other planes!
Only there would there be a possibility for him to return to the Douluo plane!
With that thought, Xu Sheng's gaze turned towards a certain direction…
Immediately after, terrifying Spiritual Power erupted from his body as he began to dive at an extremely fast speed…
…
Elsewhere, Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo had already left the Xuanming Domain…
The former looked at Zhou Qingruo with a worried face and spoke, "Qingruo, is Xu Sheng really going to be alright on his own?"
Upon hearing this, the latter responded indifferently, "Don't worry, Xu Sheng won't have any problems. Besides, when did you start caring about him so much?"
Although that's what she said, her amber Beautiful Eyes were filled with deep concern…
Hearing these words, Duanmu Lian's face flushed slightly…
But realizing that Zhou Qingruo might have misunderstood something, she hurriedly explained, "Qingruo, don't get me wrong, I really don't have any other feelings for Xu Sheng!"
After hearing her explanation, Zhou Qingruo just looked deeply at her…
Without even saying a word, Duanmu Lian was already so flustered…
Whatever other meaning might be there, there was no need for her to ask to feel it…
