By the Dragon-Transforming Pool, Mu Xu, Mu Qinghe, and the others were quietly cultivating.
Ye Wushuang and Tian Linzi made their way to the pit entrance, crouching down.
**”What’s the matter?”**
Tian Linzi slowly said, **”I’ve been keeping watch outside, and I’ve felt like someone’s been staring at us. So, I’ve checked the area within ten miles.”**
**”Five miles away from here, I found another underground pit. It’s really eerie…”** Tian Linzi shivered. **”Also, I’ve noticed that someone seems to be watching us. They’re well-hidden, but I’ve picked up on some clues.”**
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s eyes turned cold.
**”Let’s go check out the pit you mentioned first.”**
**”Okay.”**
The two of them walked openly through the night toward the nearby location.
On the way, Tian Linzi whispered, **”I initially thought I was just being paranoid, but after observing for a while, I’m certain someone’s watching us.”**
**”Oh?”**
**”Young master, look at those flickering ghostly flames around us!”** Tian Linzi smiled and said, **”These flames flicker in a very regular pattern, but I noticed that when they flicker to a certain spot, the flame disappears…”**
**”At first, I thought it was strange, so I went to check it out. But as soon as I moved in that direction, the flame flickered normally again!”**
**”Later, I casually checked around. Every time I moved closer to that spot, the flame flickered normally. But as soon as I moved away, it became abnormal again.”**
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s frown deepened.
Was it Qi Rongxuan and Qi Ronghe?
No!
It couldn’t be.
If those two old guys had come back, they would definitely bring stronger allies. They wouldn’t need to hide; they would just attack directly.
It must be someone else!
Tian Linzi continued, **”Young master, I think it’s probably another group. They might have arrived when we were fighting with the Qi and Yun families.”**
**”The reason they haven’t attacked yet is likely because they’re waiting for someone!”**
Waiting for someone!
Ye Wushuang said nothing more.
After walking for several miles, they arrived at a ruined area.
Tian Linzi pushed aside a fallen wooden door in the ruins, revealing a faint, eerie glow beneath it.
**”This is the place,”** Tian Linzi said, **”I checked inside. It’s not dangerous, but it looks really eerie.”**
Ye Wushuang was also puzzled. What could be so eerie that even Tian Linzi felt uneasy?
The two of them jumped into the pit.
At a depth of ten zhang, their feet touched the ground, and a gust of cold wind blew in.
The mournful wind, carrying a piercing chill, made Ye Wushuang shiver involuntarily.
Looking around, the pit was about dozens of zhang in diameter, with walls that were blood-red.
And…
On the blood-red walls, blood-red rays of light shone, making the place seem like a world drenched in blood.
Moreover, on all four walls, there were relief sculptures, uneven and protruding.
The blood-red reliefs depicted scenes that were extremely gruesome.
In the relief images,
Some people were chopped into pieces by swords, others minced by axes, and some pierced by a thousand arrows.
No matter how you looked at it, the people in each relief had died in extremely惨烈ways.
Combined with the blood-red light filling the pit, after looking at it for a while, Ye Wushuang felt his blood and energy churning.
**”Young master, are you okay?”**
**”These reliefs are strange,”** Ye Wushuang clutched his chest, panting, **”They can disturb one’s thoughts and influence one’s emotions.”**
Tian Linzi scratched his head and said, **”I don’t feel anything…”**
**”Because you’re not human.”**
**”…”**
Forcing himself to calm down, Ye Wushuang continued, **”These reliefs were probably carved by someone of great power. When they were carved, the carver’s resentment and anger were all infused into them.”**
Tian Linzi quickly said, **”Then let’s leave. I just feel uneasy here. It seems there’s nothing good here.”**
**”Not necessarily!”**
Ye Wushuang, however, smiled and said, **”Who would carve these for no reason? If it were just ordinary reliefs, it would be fine, but these reliefs are likely to have some secrets.”**
Hearing this, Tian Linzi was stunned for a moment, standing there in a daze.
It had to be said that Ye Wushuang’s knowledge was indeed beyond his reach.
**”I’ll take a look. Be careful.”**
**”Okay.”**
Ye Wushuang approached the reliefs, forcing himself to endure the negative emotions and examining every inch of the reliefs.
After about a quarter of an hour,
Ye Wushuang’s eyes turned bloodshot, his fists clenched tightly. Suddenly, he took out a dagger and slashed his palm, letting the blood flow out. Ye Wushuang panted heavily.
**”Young master, what are you doing?”**
**”The negative emotions are disrupting my thoughts. I need to calm myself down.”**
Ye Wushuang clenched his fists and smiled, **”I’ve figured out the secret of these reliefs.”**
Figured it out?
**”It’s a variation of a minor saintly array. The negative emotions embedded in the reliefs can infect anyone who looks at them, gradually stirring their thoughts and driving them mad!”**
**”If one can endure this kind of negative influence, they might be able to notice something subtle!”**
As he spoke, Ye Wushuang slowly opened his palm, which was now covered in blood.
He reached his palm toward the relief on the left.
The next moment,
Ye Wushuang disappeared into the surface of the relief, seemingly merging with it and vanishing completely from Tian Linzi’s sight.
Tian Linzi, who saw this, was completely stunned.
**”Young master?”**
Tian Linzi approached the relief, touched it with his palm, and found it cold and solid, with no apparent flaws.
**”He disappeared?”**
Tian Linzi stood there, dazed.
At the same time,
Ye Wushuang passed through the relief and arrived in a tranquil world.
Looking around, the fog was thick, and visibility was no more than ten zhang.
Ye Wushuang walked forward slowly, and as he moved, a wooden cabin appeared in his line of sight.
On the steps in front of the cabin, a young child was sitting.
**”Grandpa, grandpa, we have guests!”**
The child looked up and saw Ye Wushuang, then shouted.
**”Hehe…”**
A chuckling voice came from inside the cabin, saying, **”After so many years, finally someone has come. Hehe…”**
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang stood still, his nerves on edge for a moment.
