The most crucial point was that, compared to a few days ago when he came to transfer the Tower of Myriad Realms' Competition, the number of Hidden Demons in the city had clearly increased, which also meant that the number emerging from that shadow realm was becoming increasingly frightening.
Thinking of this, Gu Ran felt somewhat anxious, silently saying to himself,
"I just hope that the shadow realm hasn't fully formed yet…"
After bypassing the eastern suburbs, with the help of Hunter's Breath and the shadowy Hider, Gu Ran kept advancing towards the south. However, as he moved further south, the Formless Clone's speed was noticeably slowing, sometimes even having to stop in place for several minutes, or spending ten-plus minutes to reroute and circumvent the area.
The reason for this situation was one, the number of Hidden Demons had become too many to travel in a straight line and he could only choose to take a detour.
