Fallen Phoenix Valley, a certain forest.

A python as thick as an arm slithered slowly, its grayish-brown scales almost blending into its surroundings.

As footsteps approached, a red figure drew ever closer.

The python turned around to gather its strength, opened its huge mouth and shot out like lightning. Its two venomous fangs dripped with saliva and gleamed deadly in the sunlight as it lunged straight at the person's neck.

Suddenly, a cold glint flashed.

The python, which had pounced into the air, instantly broke into several pieces and fell to the ground. Its open mouth was not yet closed, and a thick smell of blood spread out.

A cold glint flashed again, and the Earth Flame Wheel flew back, spinning around Gu Fan, its blades untouched by any blood.

Gu Fan ignored the python's corpse and began searching the surrounding area.

After a while.

"No? It seems there aren't that many dominoes." Gu Fan shook his head and muttered to himself, having found nothing.

Two hours had passed since he entered Luofeng Valley.

Luofeng Valley is called a valley, but after entering it, he realized that the valley was very vast.

The mountains on both sides were extremely steep, surrounding the entire valley. The valley was not only densely forested, but he also seemed to have seen a lake when he looked down from the air before entering the valley.

Gu Fan had already identified the formation that sealed off the valley; it was a second-tier high-grade formation called "Heavenly Net," whose characteristic was to seal off a space.

Although he couldn't fully comprehend the array formations with his current level of expertise, he had basically recorded the second-tier arrays of the Lingxiao Sect by relying on his Myriad Manifestations Dharma Eye.

As for the dominoes that were distributed, they contained three layers of restrictions, and in terms of quality, they could only be considered low-grade magical artifacts.

However, the runes that constitute the restriction are very complicated. After studying them, Gu Fan deduced that their function is to record a certain coordinate location. When combined with the Heavenly Net Array, the user can be teleported outside the array after inputting mana.

It's worth mentioning that, seemingly due to a restriction, the dominoes cannot be stored in the storage bag.

Fortunately, each domino had a hole in it, so Gu Fan simply strung the dominoes together with a rope and hung them around his waist.

At this moment, there are already four dominoes on the rope.

Besides his own, the other three dominoes were found in the monster's hiding place after he killed the monster.

Compared to the three mid-stage first-tier demonic beasts killed earlier, the python that was just killed was only early-stage first-tier. The reason it dared to attack Gu Fan was because he deliberately concealed his aura.

After concealing his aura using the "True Technique of Pulling the Mechanism," Gu Fan appeared as an ordinary person to the python, which then dared to hunt boldly.

Unable to find any dominoes, Gu Fan did not delay and continued to move quickly through the jungle.

Nearly a hundred disciples from the three sects entered the valley, but he has not yet encountered anyone else.

While forming groups is not forbidden in martial arts battles, it is safer to find fellow disciples in the same sect. Otherwise, if you encounter disciples from the other two sects, you risk being ganged up on.

......

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves, casting beams of light.

Just as Gu Fan was about to leave the jungle, he suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps. He immediately became alert and concealed himself in the jungle.

The footsteps grew closer, and Gu Fan finally saw the person clearly: a disciple of the Hundred Refinements Sect dressed in iron armor.

However, this person was clearly not in good condition. His armor was covered with scratches and was oozing blood. His face was also slightly pale, and he kept looking back.

Gu Fan quickly realized what he was observing.

Before the man could even disappear into the jungle, three disciples of the Hualing Sect caught up and surrounded the Bailian Sect disciple.

Seeing that escape was impossible, the disciples of the Hundred Refinements Sect shouted angrily, "You're cheating!"

"Cheating?" Gu Fan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

The leading disciple of the Spirit Transformation Sect was a graceful female cultivator dressed in a fox fur. Upon hearing this, she stepped forward with light steps and teased, "What are you saying, fellow Daoist? Martial arts combat does not prohibit multiple people against one."

The Hundred Refinements Sect disciple angrily retorted, "Everyone's teleportation location is supposed to be random, so why did your Spirit Transformation Sect gather so quickly? And you still say it's not cheating!"

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand." The female cultivator said with a serious expression, "We are able to gather together because of the protection of the True Spirit, not because we are cheating."

"Why are we wasting our breath talking to him!"

A burly, bear-like man grew impatient, pulled out a spiked club, pointed it at the Hundred Refinements Sect disciple, and threatened, "Get lost if you're not going to fight, or you'll suffer some physical pain."

The disciple of the Hundred Refinements Sect gritted his teeth and remained silent for a moment, a look of struggle flashing in his eyes. After observing the positions of the three people and confirming that there was no way to escape, he took out a domino from his bosom, infused it with magic power, and the domino emitted a jade-colored glow that enveloped him.

"Don't be too happy yet."

The disciple of the Hundred Refinements Sect revealed a mocking smile, and in the next instant, he suddenly disappeared from his spot, leaving only two dominoes on the ground.

The alluring female cultivator beckoned with her finger, and the dominoes on the ground flew into her hand.

The bear-like man laughed, "This fool from the Hundred Refinements Sect is quite sensible; it saved us some trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, another disciple of the Spirit Transformation Sect, a thin, ape-like blond youth, shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the eldest sister's idea of ​​using Soul-Chasing Incense to quickly gather us together, it wouldn't have been so easy to force him out of the game."

"Do I need to tell you how clever my older sister is?"

The bear-like man snorted disdainfully, then turned around and grinned obsequiously, leaning close to the alluring female cultivator: "Big sister, quickly look around and see if there are any fellow disciples nearby. As long as we gather together, hunting down the disciples of the two sects will be a piece of cake."

The female cultivator rolled her eyes at him and waved her hand, saying, "Don't rush, let me take a look."

After speaking, the female cultivator raised her sleeve, and a round, gray rat crawled out from it.

The gray mouse lay in the female cultivator's palm, wrinkled its nose and sniffed a few times, then suddenly squeaked in one direction.

"Found it!" The female cultivator was overjoyed.

Gu Fan squinted and saw that the direction the rat was pointing was to the west side of the forest, while he had entered the canyon from the south side of the forest.

The disciples of the Hualing Sect had clearly made preparations before the fight, using the so-called "Soul-Chasing Incense" to confirm each other's locations, thus quickly gathering together and relying on their superior numbers to deal with the disciples of the other two sects.

At this time, the disciples of the other two sects were still fighting on their own. If too many people were eliminated in the early stage, even if they gathered together later, the Hualing Sect could still win by virtue of its numerical advantage.

"We can't let them continue to gather." Gu Fan quickly weighed the options in his mind.

Based on his observations, he had roughly determined the cultivation levels of the three individuals.

Although all three were at the late stage of Qi Refining, the burly man and the skinny youth were both at the seventh level of Qi Refining, while the female cultivator's cultivation level was unreadable, clearly indicating that she was above Gu Fan.

"The enemy is in the open while we are in the dark, so it's not like we can't fight." Gu Fan took out a stack of talismans.

Gu Fan continued to lie in wait. When the three turned around and were about to head in the direction the rat had indicated, he suddenly raised his hand and released three spirit talismans. Then, he unleashed the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels, aiming directly at the bear and the skinny monkey.

A thunderous roar came from behind. The alluring female cultivator reacted swiftly, summoning a bone shield to protect herself before she could even turn around.

The moment the bone shield appeared, it collided with a lightning serpent, sparks flying everywhere, leaving a scorch mark on its surface.

Meanwhile, the bear and the skinny monkey were struck by the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.

Although the two summoned a phantom image each before the lightning snake struck, blocking most of its power, the radiating lightning still paralyzed them, rendering them unable to move.

What's even more deadly is that the Heavenly Thunder Talisman is followed closely by the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels.
