**“Don’t worry, I have a strong life force. I won’t die that easily!”**
Ye Wushuang grinned.
Then, Ye Wushuang turned to Xiao Guangling and said, **“I want you to protect them with all your might. Do you understand?”**
Xiao Guangling nodded earnestly.
Soon, the Lin family group departed.
Only the Holy Sky Sect’s team of less than a hundred people remained on the spot.
Cangyan Lingque (Azure Flame Spiritual Sparrow), Li Yingchuan, Zhao Wenshan, Jiang Yuju, Yu Yourong, Tian Linzi, and Su Yexuan.
Seven supreme experts, plus dozens of strong cultivators, moved cautiously forward.
In fact, it wasn’t just their group.
Other factions, such as the Spirit Sword Pavilion, the Qi family, and the Yu family, had also entered together through different entrances into the Burial Saint Cave.
But with too many dangers, they had no choice but to split up.
Even the Spirit Sword Pavilion, with over five hundred people on this trip, led by Xu Mingxiu and Xing Hanwen, had to divide into two groups and head into the Burial Saint Cave…
For many years, the vast Burial Saint Cave had occasionally seen bold adventurers risking their lives to explore it.
But never had it been so bustling as it was now.
Cultivators from major forces and wandering cultivators all rushed in, eager to find out what had caused the earth-shattering explosion and the towering beams of light that had pierced the sky earlier.
If it was an opportunity, everyone wanted a piece of it.
Throughout history, which supreme strong cultivator or great figure hadn’t grown through countless near-death experiences?
Three days later.
Inside the Burial Saint Cave.
Looking ahead, the forests had thinned out.
But in sight, the ground was crisscrossed with ravines and abysses.
It seemed as if this place had once been a vast river, and now that the river had receded, these extensive abysses were left behind, stretching for who knows how many miles.
With the reduction of the forested area ahead, when the breeze blew, it could form howling winds in the depths of the ravines, producing an unpleasant, ear-piercing sound that made one feel uneasy for no reason.
**“The Burial Saint Cave… the Burial Saint Cave… It is said that a sage perished here ten thousand years ago. I wonder if it’s true!”**
Su Yexuan sighed as he looked at the scene before him.
Ye Wushuang gazed ahead, silent.
He had been to the Burial Saint Cave before, but this place was extremely strange. Even back then, some areas were beyond his reach even at the Saint Heaven Realm.
Now, returning in a weaker state than before, he had to be even more cautious.
Tian Linzi spoke up at this moment: **“I’ve heard that this place was once a vast river. Judging by the geomantic energy here, it does seem somewhat plausible.”**
**“Alright, alright!”**
Li Yingchuan stepped forward and said: **“From here on, it will be more dangerous than the thousands of miles we’ve already traveled. Everyone, stay alert.”**
**“Zhao Wenshan, Jiang Yuju, you two will guard the rear.”**
**“Lingque, I’ll leave it to you to keep a close watch in the middle of the group.”**
The Azure Flame Spiritual Sparrow, perched on Ye Wushuang’s shoulder, looked at him with a hint of pride.
Ye Wushuang nodded.
Only then did the Azure Flame Spiritual Sparrow nod in return.
Li Yingchuan was momentarily speechless. This Azure Flame Spiritual Sparrow, once the mount of the Spiritual Sage Heaven, was now so closely connected with Ye Wushuang.
Li Yingchuan smiled and said: **“I’ll lead the way. Let’s get moving, everyone!”**
The group of dozens of people stepped into the ravines and abysses ahead, making their way deeper.
Li Yingchuan, a peak cultivator, led the way, with Su Yexuan and his wife, Ling Qingyan, following closely behind. The Azure Flame Spiritual Sparrow had transformed into a giant form, flying slowly above the group.
In the middle of the group, Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu walked side by side, flanked closely by Yu Yourong and Tian Linzi.
At the rear of the group, Zhao Wenshan and Jiang Yuju brought up the rear.
Inside the ravines and abysses, the ground, constantly battered by fierce winds, was left with only rugged, jagged rocks.
The howling winds continued to echo along their path.
Everyone was on high alert.
In the past three days, as the Holy Sky Sect’s group continued to venture deeper, even with great caution, five people had already perished.
And the deeper they went, the more dangerous it became. Everyone understood this, so they were even more careful.
The howling winds kept blowing.
Suddenly.
The group ahead stopped in their tracks.
Li Yingchuan’s eyebrows furrowed as he drew his sword and looked ahead.
Su Yexuan and his wife, Ling Qingyan, stepped forward, their eyes filled with a hint of shock.
They saw that the path ahead had forked.
To the left and right were two canyons leading in different directions.
And in the center, on the cliff face, a body was nailed to the stone wall.
The clothes on the body had rotted away, the bones looked as clear and smooth as jade, but the remaining flesh was minimal.
A few vultures stood on the skeleton, pecking at the last remnants of flesh.
Li Yingchuan approached cautiously, and the vultures, startled, quickly fled.
Li Yingchuan stood in front of the nailed skeleton and looked down to see a token on the ground.
He picked up the token and examined it carefully.
**“It’s him!”**
At this moment, Su Yexuan also stepped forward and saw the character “Ying” on the token.
**“Who?”**
**“A guest alchemist from the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, named Xu Ying. He was also an eighth-rank spiritual alchemist.”** Li Yingchuan continued, **“I heard that over two months ago, he entered the Burial Saint Cave, intending to find a heavenly poison herb, but he never returned and has been out of contact ever since…”**
An eighth-rank spiritual alchemist—on the Central Continent, such a person would command respect from even the peak experts.
Yet now, he lay dead here, silently.
Su Yexuan sighed, **“The Burial Saint Cave is a deadly place, but also a place of treasures. This journey… who knows how many more will die!”**
At that moment.
**“Ahh…”**
A scream of agony suddenly rang out from the rear of the group.
