Seeing the last person beside him also die here, Wei Qing felt even more anxious.

He had just fought Ye Xingjun, expending considerable strength, and now less than half of his power remained.

The Flame Dragon and Ice Wind hadn't spent much energy earlier; their combined strength was even greater than Wei Qing's.

If the fight continued like this, Wei Qing truly wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

However, Wei Qing's situation was slightly better than Ye Xingjun's. After all, there weren't many people from the Land of Extreme Cold and the Land of Red Flame to completely guard the surroundings, providing Wei Qing a chance to break through.

After fighting for a while, Wei Qing seized a flaw in Flame Dragon's defense and suddenly launched a full-strength attack, with a stance suggesting he might try to slay Flame Dragon.

Flame Dragon was startled, fearing that Wei Qing was making a last-ditch counterattack, so he hurriedly turned around to dodge.

Wei Qing took this opportunity to swiftly break through the defenses of the crowd, heading straight towards the Tai Chi Diagram.

Flame Dragon then realized that Wei Qing was actually just trying to break out. His face turned extremely ugly as he roared, "Don't let him escape, chase!"

Ice Wind closely followed Flame Dragon, and the others quickly pursued as well. After all, they also needed to head that way; the Land of Extreme Cold and the Land of Red Flame had sent several people to retrieve the large bell, and they were eager to check the situation.

Having experienced coming here before, the crowd rushed back at full speed, quickly arriving at the place where the large bell was located.

Looking from a distance, the large bell was still above that small palace and hadn't been taken down.

Flame Dragon and Ice Wind frowned slightly; they originally thought their people had already taken down the bell, but unexpectedly, it remained in place, leaving them somewhat disappointed.

However, they soon saw six people standing outside the small palace—the ones they had sent to retrieve the bell earlier.

These people stood outside the palace, looking around in confusion as if searching for something.

Upon seeing these people, Flame Dragon and Ice Wind became furious. Since you've come out, didn't take the bell, and are standing here doing nothing? You should either go inside to figure out how to retrieve the bell or hurry to join the main team. Standing here—are you planning to slack off?

"Hey, stop Wei Qing!" Flame Dragon shouted, "Don't let him escape!"

Up ahead, Wei Qing saw these people, and his expression changed dramatically. He dared not approach the small palace but quickly detoured to avoid it.

However, much to Wei Qing's delight, these people showed no intention of blocking his way. They seemed not to hear Flame Dragon's words, standing there blankly as they watched Wei Qing run past.

Flame Dragon and Ice Wind were stunned by this. They hadn't expected such a thing to happen. Flame Dragon had given the order, yet these people stood there like wooden figures—what does this mean? Are they planning to defy orders?

Flame Dragon flared up in anger, quickly charging to the vicinity of the small palace, and roared, "What are you standing around for? Didn't you hear my words, you..."

Before Flame Dragon could finish speaking, someone suddenly lunged at him, launching an attack.

Flame Dragon hadn't anticipated this situation, and in his surprise, the person had already reached him. The person's strength seemed to have increased significantly, and with one strike, Flame Dragon stumbled backward in panic, barely dodging the attack.

Before Flame Dragon could steady himself, the person swiftly charged again, launching another killing blow.

"What are you doing?" Flame Dragon shouted angrily, "You mad? I'm Flame Dragon! What are you trying to do?"

This person didn't respond, only attacking Flame Dragon with full force. Their power seemed to have increased significantly, and although previously weaker than Flame Dragon, they now forced him to continually retreat.

At this moment, Ice Wind also arrived, but the people from the small palace charged over, attacking them too.

"What are you doing?" Ice Wind also roared in anger; these were their subordinates, now attacking them, naturally infuriating him.

No one answered; these people seemed to have lost their minds, recklessly attacking them.

At this point, Flame Dragon and Ice Wind sensed something was amiss.

"Their eyes are red!" Flame Dragon said solemnly.

Ice Wind took a closer look and indeed saw that these people's eyes were red. Moreover, their faces showed no expression, with only a bloodthirsty glow in their eyes, as if they had lost all reason and turned into beasts.

"They seem to have lost their minds, killing instinctively?" Ice Wind frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Their power has also increased so much?" Flame Dragon was astonished, "Could it be that someone has controlled their thoughts?"

Ice Wind's expression changed, "Is that possible?"

Flame Dragon remained silent, just glanced at the small palace nearby. At that moment, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation.

This small palace suppressed by the large bell must be extraordinary, with unknown entities inside.

This large bell possesses a defense greater than the Nine Realms' foremost East Emperor Bell. It's impossible for such a bell to suppress a palace unless there's an extremely formidable presence inside.

They sent people into this small palace; encountering something special isn't impossible.

Now they finally understood why their people attacked the Heavenly Realm and Feather Realm individuals.

It wasn't because their people benefited or the Heavenly Realm and Feather Realm people struck first. Clearly, their people lost their minds, acting solely on the desire to kill, hence the attacks.

"What's the situation inside that small palace?" Ice Wind couldn't help but ask, while they were being forced into retreat.

These six individuals seemed somehow agitated, their strength greatly increased. Even with Flame Dragon and Ice Wind's prowess, resisting proved difficult, let alone for the others.

Flame Dragon looked towards the small palace, sharing the same doubt in his heart. But obviously, no one could answer this question.

"We need a way to wake them up!" Flame Dragon said solemnly.

"What way could there be?" Ice Wind sighed. He absolutely wanted to wake these people—after all, they were his subordinates. The problem was they had no idea what had happened to these individuals, or how to awaken them.

Seeing the situation with these few people in front of him, Flame Dragon felt utterly helpless. Yes, how could they wake these people up? Given their current situation, it was difficult for them even to protect themselves, let alone awaken these people!
