Baili Hongzhuang trailed behind the three individuals, noticing that they were deviating further into secluded and hidden areas. They walked intermittently, occasionally studying the map in their hands.
Seeing this, Baili Hongzhuang understood that they intended to directly obtain the Blood Essence Fruit during the night.
The thought made her heart leap with excitement, but her concerns also deepened. The three individuals were formidable, with the strongest among them likely being at the eighth stage of the Spirit Realm. Even if she joined forces with White Lion, it would be extremely difficult to deal with them.
The only option was to launch a surprise attack when they were off guard. Only then would she have a chance to obtain the Blood Essence Fruit.
However, once she had the fruit, they would immediately notice it. Even with the Chaos Ring, she couldn't simply escape their sight.
Therefore, the situation remained challenging. A single mistake could result in severe injury or even death.
"Master, with our current strength, this task seems difficult," White Lion remarked.
Naturally, White Lion had also recognized the problem. Its cultivation level was currently at the fourth stage of the Spirit Realm, while Baili Hongzhuang was also at the same stage. The opponents, on the other hand, had a skilled cultivator at the eighth stage of the Spirit Realm.
Even if Baili Hongzhuang could fight beyond her level, the numerical advantage of the enemy was too significant. The power gap was simply too large.
Baili Hongzhuang's lips tightened, and her eyes revealed a deep and complex gaze. "We can only take it one step at a time for now. If there's an opportunity, we shouldn't hesitate."
From overhearing the conversations between the three individuals earlier, she already knew that they planned to leave the Blood Abyss through another route once they obtained the Blood Essence Fruit.
As a result, she had no way to contact Emperor Beichen to surround them.
Once they left, she would have no chance of obtaining the Blood Essence Fruit.
White Lion nodded. The Blood Essence Fruit was an absolute must-have, and they could only fight desperately later.
As the three individuals deviated into more secluded areas, Baili Hongzhuang reluctantly realized that the mountain peak was growing larger, leaving her with no hiding place. She had no choice but to increase the distance of her tracking.
However, the closer they got to the rear, the stronger the demonic beasts became. Unlike before, she couldn't deal with them with a single move. If she engaged in a fight, they would definitely discover her presence.
She had originally wanted White Lion to release its aura, preventing the demonic beasts from bothering them. However, with White Lion's growing strength, the power of its aura had also increased. If White Lion released its aura, the commotion caused would likely be even greater.
Not only Baili Hongzhuang, but the three individuals also faced the trouble of demonic beast attacks. Consequently, everyone's progress was slow.
Suddenly, a demonic beast appeared before Baili Hongzhuang and White Lion, unhesitatingly pouncing towards Baili Hongzhuang.
The demonic beast was enormous, reaching the Spirit Realm's stage. Baili Hongzhuang swiftly drew out her Azure Edge Sword and attacked the demonic beast.
The demonic beast in this area was particularly skilled in speed. Baili Hongzhuang's strike pierced through its body, causing the demonic beast to immediately realize that it wasn't Baili Hongzhuang's match. It swiftly turned and sprinted away!
Seeing the direction in which the demonic beast fled, Baili Hongzhuang inwardly felt that things were not looking good.
