As Bai Li Hongzhuang's words fell, Emperor Beichen and White Lion finally understood, and it was indeed a pity that those three fellows died like that.
"The Red Flame Lion King might return at any moment, so let's leave quickly," Emperor Beichen said, surveying the surroundings. The Red Flame Lion King was highly sensitive, and there was a possibility it would return unexpectedly.
If they captured the three individuals but didn't find the Blood Essence Devil Fruit, it would be a big problem when they returned and encountered them.
Soon after, the two of them and the lion quickly left the mountain peak and returned to the inn.
Upon seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang return safely, Xiao Feilin and the others finally felt relieved. Bai Li Hongzhuang's inexplicable disappearance had worried everyone.
"Bai Li junior sister, where have you been these past few days? We were worried that something might have happened to you," Xiao Feiyu asked with concern. Among the group, there were only the two of them as female members, so naturally, their relationship had become closer.
"I encountered some matters, so I was delayed for a few days. I'm really sorry for making everyone worry," Bai Li Hongzhuang replied. Hearing this, everyone waved their hands, saying, "Bai Li junior sister, as long as you've returned safely, we can finally feel at ease."
The atmosphere within the group was harmonious and joyful.
In the following days, Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen did not continue their journey to the training ground. With their quick reaction abilities, they decided to stay at the inn in the Desert World to cultivate, aiming to save time.
Time in the Desert World passed much slower than in the outside world, and with an endless number of demonic beasts inside, it was no different from practicing outside.
Blackie and Whitey were delighted when they learned that Bai Li Hongzhuang would continue cultivating with them in the Desert World. They were accustomed to accompanying their master in cultivation every day, so continuing together was undoubtedly the best scenario for them.
With Bai Li Hongzhuang's practice in the Celestial Ladder, her cultivation speed increased once again, while Emperor Beichen could only absorb spiritual energy as usual.
Thus, Bai Li Hongzhuang took this opportunity to catch up to Emperor Beichen's cultivation.
Both Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen were naturally gifted individuals, and Bai Li Hongzhuang's cultivation speed was fast, just like Emperor Beichen's.
As a result, it was difficult to narrow the gap in strength between the two of them, but now was the perfect opportunity for Bai Li Hongzhuang to quickly catch up.
While Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen focused on their meditation, the disciples in the group immersed themselves in their training as well.
In their sects, they usually practiced individually and had little opportunity for sparring.
Now, in the Blood Abyss, not only were there countless demonic beasts, but also many cultivators who would engage in battles at the slightest provocation. This provided them with excellent opportunities to enhance their strength.
Although they often returned with injuries, their strength steadily improved through such experiences, making everyone extremely happy.
Two months passed quickly.
"Beichen, there's only half a month left until the Battle for Supremacy begins. I have to head to the Infinite Palace," Bai Li Hongzhuang calculated the time. They had been out for quite a while, and before the Battle for Supremacy started, she had to make a trip back to the Infinite Palace.
The Blood Abyss was even farther from the Infinite Palace than the Tian Gang Sect, so the journey would be quite long.
