Roar!
Below Liyue Mountain.
A stout big black bear stood up, roaring at Pei Jinye and the woman in the black dress not far away, but neither of them showed any concern.
The big black bear grew angry, slamd its paws into the ground, and pounced towards the two.
At over two ters in size, it burst forth with a powerful impact, swirling like a black tornado at the mont.
Just as the big black bear had charged to within three ters, Pei Jinye calmly took a step back,
and the woman in the black dress glanced at him with annoyance.
With a flick of her wrist, she slapped.
Sending the big black bear flying.
The bear let out a pitiful scream.
Its montum ca to an abrupt halt as its massive body heavily crashed backward.
Rather than feeling any fear, the burst of blood from its chest only spurred on its bestial nature, and with bloodshot eyes, it charged again.
“Really think having so strength allows you to do as you please? Foolish beyond asure!”
The woman in the black dress said, casting a aningful look at Pei Jinye.
Suddenly, Pei Jinye raised his hand towards the distant big black bear and bellowed, “Don’t you dare cry out at !”
Before the woman in the black dress could reflect on his words, a foul, bloody stench assaulted their nostrils.
She raised her hand in fury.
A dazzling red light surged in her palm.
Enveloping the big black bear.
“Bang bang bang!”
Several mists of blood erupted from the bear’s body.
It wailed miserably midair.
In that mont, its instinct for survival was unmistakably on display, but alas, the woman in the black dress’s killing intent had reached its boiling point.
A strand of crimson light shot unimpeded through the bear’s heart.
With a “thud.”
The body fell to the ground.
Blood flowed freely.
The woman in the black dress didn’t even look back before starting to walk away, but Pei Jinye asked her to wait, “To leave just like that, wouldn’t that be a waste of all these materials on its body?”
The woman in the black dress seed to believe his claim that he had no significant background.
Otherwise, why would she care for such petty materials?
Luckily, Pei Jinye was quick at harvesting, returning before the woman in the black dress’s patience ran out.
He gestured with the blood vessels in his hand and tossed them over.
The woman in the black dress hesitated.
She didn’t want to catch them, but when she heard Pei Jinye claim it could break formations, she decisively reached out to grab it.
“This thing can break formations?”
She was skeptical.
But having no understanding of formations herself, she had no choice but to trust Pei Jinye’s words.
“The Nine Ice Ascendant left behind a formation called the Blood Flying Formation, which requires the continual tossing of vitality to lure it. We wouldn’t actually use our own blood, would we?”
The woman in the black dress furrowed her brows slightly upon hearing this.
She didn’t even know about this.
Her gaze fell on Pei Jinye.
After hesitating for a mont, she finally asked, “This amount of blood… is it enough?”
If it wasn’t enough, she certainly wouldn’t bleed for it.
“It’s enough. Luckily, the big black bear’s blood was plentiful…” Pei Jinye looked over discreetly.
The True Ice Tower left by the Nine Ice Ascendant indeed set a limit on cultivation.
Only up to Cave Heaven Level.
But this frenzied woman insisted she could get in without any explanation, so Pei Jinye didn’t press the matter.
“There are people.”
Pei Jinye halted.
“I can hear them,” said the woman in the black dress with a cold scoff.
A group of people appeared ahead, gripping their weapons tightly, warily eyeing the two of them.
The two parties stood in a standoff.
A middle-aged man stepped forward, cupping his hands and said, “We an no harm. We’ve just lost our way in the forest. Do you two know how to proceed into the mountain?”
“What a coincidence, we are also lost,” Pei Jinye said, looking completely harmless at the mont.
The woman in the black dress glanced at him but remained silent.
The middle-aged man responded with a wry smile to the words, “Let’s look over there.”
After saying so, he led his people away.
Once Pei Jinye and the woman in the black dress were out of sight, his expression darkened.
A flathead youth leaned in and whispered, “Uncle, could they also be here for the heritage? I’ve heard that the people from Eternal Night are also searching for the legacy of the Nine Ice Ascendant. Could they be from Eternal Night?”
The middle-aged man shook his head decisively: “They’re not. I’ve dealt with the people from Eternal Night before, these two… That kid is slick with words. What I’m really worried about is that woman beside him; she gives a sense of familiarity.”
“That kid is indeed smooth-talking… Should we take them out beforehand?” The flathead youth suggested in a low voice, making a slashing gesture with his hand.
The middle-aged man pondered for a mont, then discarded the thought, “Eternal Night’s people will soon find this place. We don’t have ti to waste on these two.”
He was, however, a bit concerned about that woman.
“Find the entrance as soon as possible. Donglai, you need to put more effort.”
Hearing this, the flathead youth nodded earnestly, “Rest assured, Uncle. I’ve had enough rest just now. I will continue to stimulate the Treasure Hunting Plate, and we’ll find it soon.”
He then took out a compass from his hand.
Muttering under his breath.
Wei Qiangshan arranged for people to stand guard nearby, quietly awaiting his nephew Wei Donglai.
An indeterminable amount of ti passed, and just as Wei Qiangshan’s face began to show so anxiety, Wei Donglai suddenly opened his eyes.
“Found it.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Qiangshan and the others were overjoyed.
Wei Donglai extended both hands, quickly forming seals, a yellow light surged from his fingertips, as he pressed toward the ground.
A dragon-like stream of mud erged on the surface of the earth.
Wei Donglai urged, “Quick, follow it.”
He could only maintain this with the power of his God Soul for the duration of an incense stick burning.
Wei Qiangshan, without hesitation, led his people to follow the mud stream.
The group ran madly for several miles.
Finally, they saw the entrance.
However, before Wei Qiangshan could delight in the discovery, Wei Donglai cried out in alarm and anger, “Damn, soone has already gone in before us!”
Before the rest could rush in.
As if so restriction had been triggered, Wei Qiangshan’s complexion drastically changed.
“Retreat—”
“BOOOOM!!!”
The ground collapsed, a huge burst of fire instantly devoured the group.
…
The blood-red, decayed ground sported hundreds of murky puddles of various sizes, and strange-shaped trees could be seen everywhere.
Blue, unknown flowers blood on the branches.
A pungent sll pervaded the air, causing the woman in the black dress to frown slightly.
However, upon hearing the noise from afar, her gaze turned to Pei Jinye, “It seems they have found their way here.”
“I won’t be able to hold them off for long,” Pei Jinye replied without turning back, his hands continuously forming seals, tackling a new formation challenge before him.
“Can’t we just force this door open?” the woman in the black dress asked, appearing restless.
“Did you see the skeletons by the roadside? Those people were unbelievers, and they chose their own deaths. If you want to end up like them, I won’t stop you.”
Pei Jinye’s words silenced the woman in the black dress.
This kid!
Teaching again!
She glared at Pei Jinye’s back for a while and then snorted coldly before withdrawing her gaze.
On their journey here, although they had not encountered any deadly traps, the woman in the black dress was well aware that if it wasn’t for Jinye’s knowledge of formations, the killing intent that lurked all around would have caused her great suffering.
Moreover, this place had nurous corridors and was incredibly easy to get lost in.
“Click—”
“It’s open.”
Pei Jinye called out softly but didn’t enter.
As soon as the door opened, the woman in the black dress quickly stepped forward.
Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred…
