On the way, Xiao Lingchen exerted the Taixu Escape Technique to its fullest, without a moment's delay.

Along the route, he indeed encountered numerous factions and rogue cultivators who had heard the news, traveling in groups of twos and threes, their expressions urgent as they continuously discussed the rumors of treasures hidden underground, their eyes gleaming with greed.

Xiao Lingchen understood clearly that these people were drawn by the commotion from the previous battle and the aura of the treasures hidden underground.

Not wanting to complicate matters, he once again brought Lu Yingwu and the others accompanying him into the Secret Realm within the Cauldron, leaving himself to travel alone.
