Feeling the powerful aura howling from afar, everyone's faces involuntarily became solemn.

"It seems that the appearance of the light column has exposed our location. Although it is very likely that the other party does not know our identity, we have decided to strike first." Liang Yi casually guessed the truth almost exactly.

"They could have ambushed us from the shadows, but now they choose the most reckless and direct approach. Such an impatient offensive indicates that they have not achieved their goal during the three-month period and might have gained nothing at all, hence their immense frustration."

"And this impatience to directly eliminate us proves that our death or something on us can help them achieve their purpose. So, what appeared in this secret realm after we arrived here?"

Liang Yi's gaze was deep. Having once been a skilled player interacting with countless other players and even occasionally taking on guild tasks to lead battles, this simple psychological warfare was hardly a challenge.

Now, the White Tiger Envoy has only issued an order, but he has already deduced the reason behind it.

Hearing Liang Yi's analysis so coherently, Zhou Zuixi felt admiration for the first time, acknowledging that sometimes brains can be more useful than fists.

Su Youyi and Yue Bai were also looking at Liang Yi with glowing eyes and bright gazes.

Zhou Yuqing shook her head, it's no wonder that when some super forces go to war, the first to die are often the strategists from the opposing force. Possessing far superior wisdom, coupled with understanding human nature, in some ways, this control over the future could even be more accurate than divination techniques.

After pondering for a moment, Liang Yi suddenly produced a round disc in his hand—it was the Gumei Yuezhan Secret Realm Key.

"It seems what they want is this thing..."

"So, do we confront them head-on now, or avoid them first and slowly look for opportunities?" Liu Rouxin, rubbing her hands eagerly pulled out her Red Dragon Spear; given her nature, the firmer the fight, the better.

Knowing your enemies as well as yourself, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Now that Liang Yi and the others have clarified the opponent's motives, they are no longer clueless and can decide whether to fight or retreat.

"Look at their numbers. In truth, our power can already be considered very strong now." Liang Yi looked ahead, deciding to play it safe.

The weakest among those standing here were at the Sixth Realm, and each was of the level of a chief of a Super Force, crossing a realm was as simple as eating and drinking.

Even if there was a White Tiger Envoy from the Eighth Realm on the other side, they also had Zhou Yuqing with them.

"Blocking Bai Sheng for a while is no problem for me, but killing him is still impossible..." Zhou Yuqing understood Liang Yi's intention, assessed the gap between herself and Bai Sheng, and chose the most conservative statement.

"Is that White Tiger Envoy really that strong, meow?" Master Tangerine scratched his head. In his view, Zhou Yuqing, who has merged with the spirit of the Vermilion Bird, should be considered one of the strongest in the Eighth Realm. If everything goes well, ascending to the Ninth Realm should be no problem.

The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise coexist in the world, and he had not seen a significant difference in their strengths, just that each has its strengths. But from Zhou Yuqing's words, this White Tiger Envoy seemed to be much stronger than the other three, which puzzled Master Tangerine.

"It's not that the spirit of the White Tiger is very strong; it's just that Bai Sheng is quite special." Zhou Yuqing shook her head, recalling the youth with white hair and white eyebrows, even now, she held some shadows in her heart.

"Actually, I think that guy is more like a Blood Demon than the Blood Demon himself, born for slaughter."

"Having mastered the Soul Devouring ability, he can continuously grow stronger by devouring the Divine Souls of other cultivators, and the spirit of the White Tiger also grows stronger through slaughter. Combining both, they display unbelievable power."

Liang Yi and the others looked at each other. Hearing this, the abilities of the White Tiger Envoy indeed seemed incredibly strong.

"From the outside, that White Tiger Envoy looks like a youth, but if judged by the normal lifespan of Eighth Realm cultivators, as long as he's not forcibly destroyed by other cultivators to the extent of Divine Soul obliteration, he's almost as long-lived as heaven and earth, but the White Tiger Envoy is not."

Zhou Yuqing's tone was wistful, her eyes filled with complexity.

"His lifespan is less than a hundred years!"

"A hundred years!?" Yue Bai covered her mouth and whispered in shock.

A hundred years on Mystical Mechanism Continent was relatively short even for ordinary people because in a world filled with Spiritual Power, ordinary people living peacefully could live up to one hundred and forty or fifty years.

And now, a cultivator who could be a Supreme Elder in a Super Force having only a hundred years of life was truly surprising to Yue Bai.

Su Youyi and Liu Rouxin also showed looks of astonishment, a hundred years was indeed too short.

"But the immense power he gained in exchange for his lifespan, even now I can only try to hold him back," Zhou Yuqing said wistfully.

Honestly, although such power was incredibly strong, she did not envy it at all. Sometimes immortality could indeed be lonely, but at least it wasn't so when having companions.

"Then when the time comes, we'll rely on Sister Yuqing," Liang Yi nodded. At least the strongest opponent was contained. For the rest of the Devouring Spirit Sect members, even if there are one or two Seventh Realm cultivators, they are not afraid.

"The opponents don't yet know we have discovered them. In a while, we'll strike aggressively, aiming to inflict damage as quickly as possible. During the time Sister Yuqing holds back the White Tiger Envoy, we'll try to reduce their numbers as much as possible."

The advantage of being hidden against an exposed enemy was too great for them, and even if based on brute strength, they were not afraid of the opposition; the ambush was just to resolve the opposition more quickly and effectively.

"Alright!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Liu Rouxin was even holding her long spear tightly, the excitement in her eyes clear to anyone.

Initially, there was only one swaying tail behind Yue Bai, but it had now split into six fluffy and bushy ones.

Master Tangerine's body grew with the wind, and in one breath, he had turned into a giant orange cat, his previously cute little paws now flashing with a chilling gleam.

Zhou Zuixi shook his head without any grand gestures, just drinking more frequently.

While Liang Yi and Su Youyi seemed still, the Sword Intent within them was already ready to burst forth with a shocking strike.

Just as everyone was in preparation, a black tunneling light resembling a dark cloud sped towards them from the far distance, heading in the direction of the light column behind them.
