Wu Sui and Ying Ni boarded the flying boat. Ying Ni asked,

"Senior Brother Wu Sui, where are we headed now?"

"To Falling Hawk Gorge!" Wu Sui replied.

Falling Hawk Gorge was very far from here, about four to five thousand kilometers away. Even with a flying boat, it would take quite some time.

Soon, night fell, but Wu Sui had no intention of stopping. He continued to travel through the night.

At some point, Ying Ni had moved to sit on Wu Sui's lap, and Wu Sui's hands were inappropriately exploring her body, causing Ying Ni to blush and emit soft moans and gasps.

Ying Ni's already scantily clad outfit became even more disheveled, revealing more of her white skin.

Song Wen watched their intimate actions with frustration. At one moment, he felt an urge to kill both of them on the spot, but he noticed the black chains emerging from Wu Sui's sleeves like hidden venomous snakes, which made him abandon the idea of a surprise attack.

Wu Sui was indeed not as simple as he appeared; he was highly vigilant.

As dawn approached, the three finally arrived at Falling Hawk Gorge.

Falling Hawk Gorge was located between two large mountains, with a massive, bottomless rift spanning several dozen kilometers across the land.

"Caw!"

From a distance of several kilometers away from Falling Hawk Gorge, they heard a piercing eagle cry.

A giant eagle with a wingspan of over ten meters soared from the gorge. Its feathers had a faint metallic sheen, like sharp, heavy metal feathers.

The giant eagle ascended from the gorge with its feathers scattered and a deep wound, from which fresh red blood was continuously dripping.

It was clear that the giant eagle had just gone through a fierce battle and had suffered significant injury.

Instead of leaving, the giant eagle continued to circle high in the sky.

Its sharp gaze was fixed on the dark rift of Falling Hawk Gorge, as if something inside was irresistibly drawing it, even though it was injured.

"A peak Qi Refining Iron-Winged Eagle—who can hurt it?"

Ying Ni gazed at the giant eagle in shock and murmured.

"It's likely the zombies in Falling Hawk Gorge. Only they could pose a threat to the Iron-Winged Eagle," Wu Sui said with a serious expression, despite his usual arrogance.

It seemed that obtaining the Jade Essence Grass was not as easy as anticipated.

At that moment, another sound came from Falling Hawk Gorge.

A figure shrouded in dense dark energy surged out of the gorge.

This person moved extremely fast, almost surpassing the limits of Qi Refining cultivators, comparable to some Foundation Establishment cultivators who were not skilled in escaping.

The figure quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

"That's the Profound Yin Sect's 'Ghostly Escape,' this person is one of the Profound Yin Sect's Ghost Patrollers," Ying Ni said.

Ying Ni could determine the person's identity just from a single escape technique. It seemed that the 'Ghostly Escape' was either very difficult to practice or not easily taught, as ordinary Profound Yin Sect disciples would not have had the chance to learn it.

"Roar!"

Next, a hulking figure burst out of Falling Hawk Gorge. This figure was enveloped in an overwhelming corpse energy, with a gaunt, naked body that had a faint bronze hue.

"Second-Grade Bronze Corpse!"

Wu Sui's gaze was filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? How could something comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator be born in the Withered Blood Secret Realm?"

"No, wait!"

"It's not a true second-grade bronze corpse! Although it has the characteristics of a bronze corpse, the corpse energy it possesses is far from reaching the level of a second-grade bronze corpse."

This was a corpse that had advanced to the second grade in terms of physical form but seemed restricted by some rule, with its corpse energy forcibly limited to the first-grade zombie level.

This pseudo-second-grade bronze corpse was somewhat similar to Song Wen's situation, as both were semi-Foundation Establishment level beings.

However, this bronze corpse was physically on par with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and since zombies typically excel in physical strength, it was nearly invincible in the Withered Blood Secret Realm, where only Qi Refining cultivators could enter. It was almost impossible for anyone to break through its physical defenses.

The bronze corpse was not skilled in escape techniques; it relied on its powerful physique, crashing through everything in its path like a human bulldozer.

If the fleeing Ghost Patroller was like a swift wind, the pursuing bronze corpse was like a wolfish beast charging through.

The trees blocking its way were all smashed aside, creating a path of destruction.

As the bronze corpse moved further away, dozens of figures emerged from Falling Hawk Gorge. They were disciples from the three major sects, who had been hiding and observing from the shadows.

These individuals followed closely behind the bronze corpse, rushing after it.

Wu Sui, who was confused by the situation, maneuvered the flying boat closer to the foremost figure among these dozens.

This person was a burly and stout figure.

"Qiu Li, what's happening in Falling Hawk Gorge?" Wu Sui asked.

Qiu Li glanced up at Wu Sui without slowing her pace. Her entire body was surging with blood energy as she performed the Blood Escape Technique.

With her dense blood energy, using the Blood Escape Technique did not affect her too much.

Seeing that Qiu Li did not respond, Wu Sui continued,

"Do you really think that you alone can handle that pseudo-second-grade bronze corpse?"

Wu Sui pointed at Ying Ni and said, "If the three of us join forces, we can share the benefits."

As for Song Wen, Wu Sui completely ignored him, as Song Wen was not qualified to obtain the Jade Essence Grass.

Seemingly persuaded by Wu Sui, Qiu Li finally spoke,

"The Ghost Patroller used its extremely fast escape technique to steal all three Jade Essence Grass from Falling Hawk Gorge while the Iron-Winged Eagle and the bronze corpse were fighting."

"What! The Ghost Patroller has three Jade Essence Grass?" Wu Sui exclaimed in surprise.

"We must find a way to intercept him. If he escapes, with his escape technique, it will be difficult to track him down."

Wu Sui quickly cast several spells, and the flying boat accelerated dramatically, moving more than twice as fast as before, even surpassing Qiu Li, who was using the Blood Escape Technique.

Wu Sui controlled the flying boat, heading towards the direction where the trees had been knocked down by the bronze corpse.

Song Wen, standing at the back of the flying boat, was astonished by its speed.

Wu Sui's flying boat was significantly faster than his own.

With a Golden Core cultivator backing him, the boat's foundation was indeed deep.

At that moment, the Iron-Winged Eagle, which had been following from above, suddenly dived down. As the king of the skies, no one present could match its speed.

Neither the Ghost Patroller, the pseudo-second-grade bronze corpse, nor Wu Sui's flying boat could match the speed of the Iron-Winged Eagle.

The Iron-Winged Eagle, like a golden claw, seized the Ghost Patroller's head.

Facing this life-threatening situation, the Ghost Patroller had to slow down and use his skills to respond.

He tapped his waist, releasing a black-faced ghost at the Qi Refining ninth level from his ghost-rearing pouch.

The ghost, with swirling dark energy and clawing wildly, lunged at the Iron-Winged Eagle.

Taking advantage of this, the bronze corpse had caught up with him.
