From this moment on, the middle-aged man in the Blood Robe knew that killing Zhou Chun would be much more difficult than he had previously imagined.

Indeed, after waiting for a while, he sensed that Zhou Chun had already appeared at another location tens of miles away.

No matter whether he surfaced first or traveled directly through the abyss, he faced the attacks of Sword Qi within the abyss.

"Hmph, even if you fly to the heavens or burrow into the earth, I will tear you into thousands of pieces!"

After hesitating for a moment, the man in the Blood Robe let out a cold snort and directly soared towards the sky above the abyss.

Compared to the dangerous and unknown depths of the abyss, although he still had to withstand the attacks of Sword Qi, these could not pose a threat to him.

Hence, for the sake of prudence, he naturally chose to go up first before going down!

For some time after that, Zhou Chun played a game of hide and seek with the man in the Blood Robe.

Each time the man in the Blood Robe descended into the abyss to capture him, he would have the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer, Stone, move him to a different location.

Such back-and-forth movement did not really deplete Zhou Chun, only Stone would consume more Mana.

But Stone's rate of Mana recovery was so swift, and moreover, Zhou Chun could transfer his own Mana to it through the "Power Grafting" secret technique.

As for the man in the Blood Robe, his Mana consumption was much greater than that of Stone.

It was only because he, as a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator, possessed incredibly profound Mana that he could continue the pursuit after such repeated exertions.

However, after pursuing Zhou Chun to different locations five times with no results, he could not help feeling impatient.

"Something's not right, how can that brat use Earth Escape without seemingly consuming any Mana, how can he run so well!"

After yet another failed attempt, the man in the Blood Robe faintly sensed that something was amiss and spotted the anomaly.

But even after realizing this, he was at a loss.

If it were outside, even if Zhou Chun escaped a thousand feet underground, he had ways to make Zhou Chun suffer.

However, in this abyss, the Golden Qi of the earth was so strong and the ground so tough, that even his attacks with Dharma Treasures could only destroy a small area, which was less than one percent as effective as on the surface.

Moreover, he dared not guarantee that such destruction wouldn't trigger any taboos and lead to even more severe consequences.

"I refuse to believe it! That this youngster, a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, could really compete with me in Mana depth when I'm a venerable Golden Core Mid-Stage Cultivator!"

The man in the Blood Robe gritted his teeth and took out a Spirit Crystal. While absorbing and refining the Spiritual Power within to restore his Mana, he resumed his pursuit of Zhou Chun.

It wasn't until he chased Zhou Chun another six times with no effect that he had to admit to himself the truth!

"There must be a big secret on this youngster!"

Above the abyss, the man in the Blood Robe, having decided to stop the pursuit, looked down at the bottom of the abyss with flickering eyes, feeling extremely uneasy.

Prior to this, he never would have imagined that he, a Golden Core Mid-Stage Cultivator, would be pressured into such a situation by a late-stage Purple Mansion junior!

Zhou Chun's antics had left him helpless at this point, knowing that by himself, it was likely impossible to do anything about Zhou Chun hiding below and not coming out.

Reflecting on the many Golden Core Stage Cultivators he knew, he soon thought of someone who could help him.

"Zheng Kun of the Beast Demon Palace has fused with the bloodline of the Golden Armor Earth-Evasion Beast, his Earth Escape Divine Skills have reached perfection, and his physical defense is comparable to that of a Fourth-Grade Low-Level Monster Beast, enduring most of the abyss's Sword Qi attacks without issues. It seems I must call in a favor and ask for his assistance!"

With this thought, the man in the Blood Robe immediately made up his mind.

He looked back at the abyss below, and soon turned into a beam of blood-light, leaving the area to call for reinforcements from Fengguo.

With his Golden Core Mid-Stage Cultivation Level, he could return to Fengguo in less than a day.

And the "Blood Soul Attraction" on Zhou Chun, unless helped by a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, could not be easily dispelled.

The man in the Blood Robe was not worried that Zhou Chun could escape from his clutches after his departure.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chun within the abyss, seeing that the man in the Blood Robe had not come down to search for him for a long time, also grew suspicious and had the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer, Stone, quietly go up to check the situation.

When he learned that the man in the Blood Robe was no longer above, Zhou Chun was slightly startled and his mind raced to figure out the other's possible whereabouts.

"Could it be a trick of pretending to retreat in order to lure me out?"

This was the first possibility that came to his mind, as it seemed the most plausible.

The man in the Blood Robe could locate him with the "Blood Soul Attraction", even if he was a thousand miles away, and could still monitor his movements.

But that was just the most likely scenario, not a certainty!

If it wasn't a feigned retreat, and the man in the Blood Robe had indeed temporarily left, it could be an opportunity for Zhou Chun to extricate himself from the predicament.

After all, even if he temporarily took refuge in this perilous abyss to evade the man in the Blood Robe, it was equivalent to trapping himself here.

If the man in the Blood Robe had gone to seek help at this moment, and he missed the chance to break free, he might not be able to outwit the man as easily as before!

"Should I take the risk?"

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered with hesitation, entangled in a great inner turmoil.
