Encirclement

On the nameless mountain, within a cave, Five-Foot Zhan Ru stood at the entrance, transforming into a dwarf tree as if it naturally belonged there.

Inside the cave, Zhong Chi was cultivating the Blood Refining Canon within the Xumi Stone.

After three days of annihilating Lord Shaoyang, Zhong Chi and Five-Foot Zhan Ru had been hiding in this cave without venturing out.

In the Slanted Moon Valley, Zhong Chi had already attracted the attention of numerous ancient descendants and beast kings, making it impossible for him to proceed deeper.
