"She wouldn't have come here for no reason. Something must have happened."
Chu Feng mused to himself.
At that moment, Wen Xue had gotten a clear look at Li Wu and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
"Oh my, such a beautiful girl, yet so ruthless in her methods."
"I'm getting the feeling she's some kind of heavenly treasure?"
"Tsk tsk, this martial cultivation world really is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
Wen Xue examined Li Wu, but a peculiar gleam flickered within those lovely eyes of hers.
However, just then, another barrier gate opened.
Several powerful figures burst forth, every single one of them at the Heavenly God realm.
The number of Heavenly God realm experts that had now appeared in the battle zone exceeded twenty.
There were even three cultivators at the Fourth Grade Heavenly God realm.
Although from their condition it was evident their original cultivation hadn't been at the Fourth Grade Heavenly God level — they had used some means to temporarily boost their strength.
But being able to raise one's cultivation within the Heavenly God realm was no ordinary feat, even for Heavenly Gods.
And these were only the ones who had already arrived.
Right now, both outside and inside, Prison Sect experts continued to pour in endlessly.
"Those who trespass against the Prison Sect — die!!!"
A furious roar erupted as a colossal phantom rose from the crowd.
It was an enormous infant-like figure, resembling a demon god, blanketing that stretch of starry sky and surveying the battlefield below.
That was a formation unique to the Prison Sect, one that could vastly enhance the combat power of its members.
"Li Wu is injured. She won't be able to hold on much longer at this rate," Dan Dan said.
She shared Chu Feng's sight and hearing.
And now that Chu Feng's cultivation had advanced to the Ninth Grade True Dragon Spirit World Master, his control over the Heavenly Eyes had grown even stronger.
With the Heavenly Eyes, even if his cultivation fell short of his opponents', he could still roughly discern the situation.
Just as Dan Dan had said, Li Wu was wounded, and she was already struggling to withstand the Prison Sect's coordinated assault.
As for Bai Yunqing's barrier techniques — while they had improved once more and carried the combat power of a barrier at the First Grade Heavenly God level, they were absolutely no match for a Fourth Grade Heavenly God.
When Chu Feng and the others drew closer, Li Wu's body bore several more grievous, horrifying wounds.
Seeing Li Wu injured, Bai Yunqing's eyes turned bloodshot and he began to fight with desperate frenzy.
But the gap in cultivation rendered him utterly powerless.
The two of them had been backed into a corner with no way out.
"Senior Sister, have Wuma Hanshuang order them to capture those two alive. They are not to be harmed," Chu Feng said to Wen Xue.
"Huh? Junior Brother, what are you doing — falling for a pretty face? Be careful or I'll tell Zi Ling," Wen Xue said, staring at Chu Feng in bewilderment.
"What do you mean falling for a pretty face? Those two are my friends," Chu Feng replied.
"What? Another friend of yours?"
"Just how many friends do you have?"
Wen Xue gaped in astonishment.
But she still took action.
Wuma Hanshuang stepped forward and called out in a loud voice: "That woman is a heavenly treasure of great use to our sect."
"Capture the two of them alive. Their lives must not be taken."
The moment Wuma Hanshuang spoke, the Prison Sect members immediately turned to look.
Once they confirmed Wuma Hanshuang's face, the three Fourth Grade Heavenly God experts — who had been brimming with killing intent — all shouted simultaneously: "Capture them alive."
The moment those words left their mouths, the Prison Sect's formation shifted, their killing intent diminishing sharply.
The execution of orders among the Prison Sect members was truly impressive.
But Li Wu and Bai Yunqing's resistance hadn't lessened one bit.
Capturing them wouldn't be easy.
"Brother, it's me. I can get you out of here."
"Have Li Wu pretend to be overwhelmed and let them capture you. Then I'll get you both away."
Once Chu Feng's secret transmission went out, sure enough, Li Wu and Bai Yunqing's combat strength quickly began to wane, and they were seized by the Prison Sect's experts.
