Chapter 1320 Peril on All Sides

The clone returned from the depths of the Beast Forest with an unusually serious expression, something he had never shown before, prompting Liu Zixuan to become serious as well.

Looking around, the clone whispered, "I just sensed several figures in the depths of the Beast Forest, and the aura they left behind is even stronger than that of Qiao Siyang before. If nothing goes wrong, they should be Unity Realm experts."

"What!"

Liu Zixuan's pupils suddenly contracted: "Did we just run into a nest of powerful entities?"

Previously, he had only seen Unity Realm experts in the tower, which posed no great threat to Liu Zixuan, since it was mainly a challenge rather than a life-and-death battle!

But now, just after arriving in the Southwest Region, hoping to take a rest, he unexpectedly encountered this situation!

Earlier, with a Half-Step Unity Realm Qiao Siyang, Liu Zixuan and the clone had to join forces to kill him, using both the Xuanyuan Sword and the Ancient Thirteen Spirit Needles.

And before that, a true Unity Realm came and was driven away by the combined efforts of the Sword Demon and Zhao Yi, even though the Unity Realm expert was seriously injured!

If a true Unity Realm expert came, they might barely gain some upper hand even if everyone joined forces.

But now, as luck would have it, several Unity Realm experts appeared in the depths of the Beast Forest!

Rubbing his forehead: "Can you detect how many there are?"

The clone scratched his head: "The number should be about five or six, with at least two reaching the Unity Realm."

Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes and murmured, "If nothing unexpected happens, those should be the experts who entered the ruins earliest. After all, none of the people who came in with us were Unity Realm. Of course, it doesn't rule out one exception, which is that someone deliberately hid their strength among those who came with us!"

"I remember you said before, in the World Martial Realm, there are fewer than five Unity Realm experts, right?" the clone asked.

"Yes, at least according to the information collected by the Alliance of the World."

Pausing here, Liu Zixuan continued: "Regardless of how true this information is, there certainly aren't many Unity Realm experts worldwide. Just think, Unity Realm is close to the peak Realm, and the presence of Unity Realm in this Ancient Ruins without the strongest Realm indicates Unity Realm is the hardest to surpass for Martial Artists!"

"Considering the quantity of Life and Death Realm in the Martial Realm, Unity Realm definitely won't exceed ten people, at most seven or eight! And this time on the ruins trip, at least four Unity Realm experts will converge here!"

The clone responded: "Maybe even more than four; the Ancient Ruins contain countless unknown opportunities. Those Unity Realm experts have reached a certain point, and they're more eager than others to find a breakthrough method to reach the strongest Realm!"

Liu Zixuan nodded: "You're right, let's assume all seven or eight Unity Realm experts came to the ruins, and currently there are at least three near us. Just think, every step ahead will be incredibly difficult!"

The clone grimaced: "I think we should just get through tonight first. It's such a dark night, we should take turns keeping watch tonight!"

Liu Zixuan pondered for a moment: "You say those Unity Realm experts are converging in the depths of the Beast Forest, does that mean there might be treasures there they're coveting?"

The clone immediately gave Liu Zixuan a look: "I seriously find you incredible; instead of thinking about survival, you're thinking about treasures. Facing one Unity Realm expert we'd have to take a detour, let alone there being at least two or three there. If encountered, whether there's treasure or not can't be ensured, we might just lose our lives!"

"I was just asking offhand!" Liu Zixuan waved his hand: "Do you want to come over and eat something?"

"No, I'm going back inside the Relic Mini World!" the clone said gloomily.

"No, you have to keep watch tonight!" Liu Zixuan said.

"What the heck, why me!" the clone responded immediately, displeased.

"Because we're all paired up, but you're a single dog, so if you don't keep watch, who will? Do you think we'll let you go rest in the Relic Mini World?" Liu Zixuan finished speaking and walked back to the fire, picked up a pig's trotter, and started eating it.

And to be honest, it tasted pretty good!

The clone first glared angrily at Liu Zixuan, seeing he wasn't joking, slowly walked over, and handed another pig's trotter to Liu Zixuan: "Here, have another one!"

"I see a hint of malice in your eyes." Liu Zixuan laughed meaningfully.

The clone scratched his head: "Alright, I'll keep watch; just find me a companion."

"Look, the Sword Demon with Zhao Yi, Xiao Hu with Tiger, me with Luo Xi, how do I find you a companion!" Liu Zixuan pointed beside him.

"Isn't there a little fox in the Relic Mini World..." The clone rubbed his hands together with a mischievous smile.

Several black lines appeared on Liu Zixuan's forehead, and he glanced around, taking out the Relic Pearl.

However, he didn't intend to release the little beauty from the Celestial Fox Race, but to let them all go inside.

Firstly, if releasing people outside, having too many people would inevitably attract too much attention.

Secondly, as the controller of the Relic Pearl, even if something happens to him, the Relic Pearl won't destroy instantly. With dangers all around in the long night, merely finding someone to keep watch might not be effective. It'd be better if only Liu Zixuan remained outside. This way, if any enemy attacks, he can easily escape unscathed with his various methods!

Then, he told everyone his idea.

The Sword Demon raised an eyebrow: "How about I wait outside with you?"

"No need, alone I have a smaller target." Liu Zixuan shook his head, smiling: "There are plenty of houses in the Relic Mini World, just consider it your home. Once it's daylight tomorrow, I'll notify you all to come out."

Looking at each other, they subsequently nodded.

Of course, Luo Xi was a bit worried about Liu Zixuan, but after Liu Zixuan's explanation, Luo Xi reluctantly agreed and joined them in entering the Relic Mini World.

Afterward, Liu Zixuan turned to the clone: "You should've seen the battle with the Half-Step Unity Realm Qiao Siyang earlier. Seize the chance to grasp the essence of the Unity Realm, strive to at least touch the threshold when we next battle the Unity Realm expert!"

"Relax, I'm more eager to break through than you are! Honestly, I've been wanting to surpass you someday and beat you up!" With that, the clone also leapt into the Relic Pearl.

Liu Zixuan glanced around, grinned, sat back down, had a big meal, then found a slightly concealed spot to start cultivating.
