No matter the circumstances, he felt that escaping was the best option.

Without much hesitation, Xu Mu pushed back the transparent jellyfish with force, his figure quickly diminished, and the Wings of Flame and Thunder spread behind him, rapidly shooting into the air.

Among these three, aside from the female who was at the middle Golden Core Stage, the other two were at the late Golden Core Stage, with a group of helpers at the Foundation Establishment Stage and this giant jellyfish; if they were surrounded in the water, it would be the end.

Of course, the reason Xu Mu didn’t stay to figure a way out was also because he felt that escaping wouldn’t pose a problem.

The three of them may be stronger than him, but don’t forget, they were from the Sea Race. Once he got to the surface of the sea, even if he couldn’t win, he could still escape.

After weighing the pros and cons, naturally, escaping was safer.

The moment Xu Mu escaped to the surface and flew high in the blink of an eye, feeling completely at ease, three Sea Race members shot out from the sea, relentlessly chasing him without any pause as soon as they broke away from the sea more.

The three Sea Race members included one male and two females, the male sea race member had a wrinkled face and a body armored in a shell, half-man, half-turtle, at the late Golden Core Stage.

Among the two females, one was covered in green fish scales, without legs but a snake-like tail instead. The hair on her head was also very bizarre, like entwined little snakes, she resembled Medusa from past legends.

The other woman was even weirder; except for her face, her skin was pitch- black like iron, with darker lines portraying some sort of outline that appears like they were feathers glued onto her body or black tattoos. Aside from these, there was not much difference between her and ordinary humans.

“Hand over the treasure of the secret realm! Or, die!” The woman with black skin said coldly.

As Xu Mu had guessed, the pursuers had indeed discovered the secret realm and were convinced he was involved with it.

Anyone with a bit of intelligence would think in that direction.

After all, among the nearby waters, Iron Corpse Superior of the Human Clan was the most powerful, Xu Mu’s strength far surpassed that, with his recent appearance near the small secret realm and his sudden transformation, they were sure to attribute the situation to him.

Not interested in explaining, Xu Mu fled even farther.

As far as he knew, the small secret realm indeed held treasures, but they were all taken by Lu Jingkong, who then got trapped in one of the Formation along with her Nascent Soul.

However, why didn’t Lu Jingkong let these people help her?

Xu Mu was curious, but this clearly wasn’t the time to be. Getting rid of these three people was the priority.

The three, having left the sea, were in hot pursuit, which suggested that the treasure in the small secret realm was indeed extraordinary.

But, I didn’t take it!

Xu Mu was upset and felt helpless as he had no way to explain; even if he did, they wouldn’t believe him. If he were in their shoes, he wouldn’t believe it either.

In order to shake off the trio as soon as possible, Xu Mu pushed his speed to the limit, becoming a golden streak of light in an instant, covering the distance over hundreds of feet. The powerful storm cut the clouds in the sky into two halves, like a giant sword slashing through.

“Hm? They’re still behind?!”

Having flown for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xu Mu looked back only to find the black-skinned woman still closely tailing him.

Sea Race members were extremely fast in water, but when on land, they were caught between a rock and a hard place. Meanwhile, Xu Mu’s speed in the Golden Core Stage was not slow.

His Wings of Flame and Thunder were already elevated to Perfection. If it weren’t for his cultivation base limiting him, his speed could be a lot faster.

Moreover, in the domain of the Human clan, the pursuers wouldn’t dare to act recklessly, so logically, ditching the trio shouldn’t have been an issue.

But what he never expected was that the two of higher cultivation base at late Golden Core Stage fell behind, whereas the woman with a cultivation base of mid Golden Core Stage kept hounding him relentlessly and was even closing on him more and more.

“Damn it, did I run into another freak?”
