　　Within the blood-colored pupils, the figures of the Qi family, Yu family, and Zhao family members were displayed one by one.
　　The scene revealed within the pupils was inside a long-collapsed grand hall.
　　In the center of the grand hall, a deep pit appeared.
　　The pit was hundreds of zhang in diameter, with blood-red light swirling inside, accompanied by continuous low rumbling sounds.
　　Qi Zhenzhong appeared and demanded, “What happened？”
　　A Yu family martial artist hurriedly replied, “We were searching these ruins when we noticed something strange here. We must have triggered something, causing the ground to collapse suddenly, and then this pit appeared…”
　　Zhao Tianqing looked down, frowning deeply, and asked, “Is someone down there？”
　　”Yu Feiyan is down there,” a Qi family martial artist spoke up. “I saw him take people down there with my own eyes.”
　　At this, the martial artists of the Qi and Zhao families turned their gazes toward the Yu family group, their expressions shifting.
　　It　was　clear.
　　Yu Feiyan had discovered this anomaly here with his group but hadn’t informed the others, choosing to explore it on their own.
　　For some reason, a disturbance suddenly erupted below, drawing everyone’s attention.
　　Zhao Tianqing sneered coldly, “What a Yu Feiyan, trying to hog all the spoils! I bet Yu Feiyun, who hasn’t joined us, must have found some good spot up on the mountain peak and is also keeping it all to himself!”
　　Zhao Tianqing turned to Qi Zhenzhong and said, “Brother Zhenzhong, look at this. You kindly brought them here to hunt for treasures, yet they’re only thinking of themselves.”
　　A seventh-level Wanwo expert from the Yu family immediately retorted, “Zhao Tianqing, stop talking nonsense! Second Master had no such intentions. He just went down first to check the situation. If there was nothing, calling everyone over would’ve been a waste of time!”
　　Zhao Tianqing glared back and scoffed, “Yu Kuang, you know exactly what your true motives are.”
　　Just as Yu Kuang was about to argue, a voice suddenly rang out.
　　”Enough.”
　　Qi Zhenzhong waved his hand and said, “We’ve come this far with nothing to show for it. Yu Feiyun and Zhao Tianhe have gone missing one after another. Must we keep quarreling now？”
　　Yu Kuang and Zhao Tianqing both turned their heads away in silence.
　　”Since Yu Feiyan took his men down first, let’s just go and see for ourselves. Don’t forget, our three families are united. We came together, and any opportunities should be shared among us—no infighting.”
　　”Second Brother, Third Brother.”
　　Qi Zhenzhong waved his hand dismissively.
　　Qi Zhentian and Qi Zhenshan, the two brothers, led the Qi family members as they descended one by one into the pit.
　　Soon, the Yu family, Zhao family, and others also dropped into the pit…
　　In the distance, Ye Wushuang, who witnessed this scene, remained calm.
　　With the Qi family leading and the Zhao and Yu families following, it seems that although both the Zhao and Yu families are aligned with the Spirit Sword Pavilion, their relationship with each other is not harmonious.
　　After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Ye Wushuang finally arrived at the edge of the pit.
　　The pit had a diameter of a hundred zhang. Looking down, a crimson glow swirled, making it difficult to discern the exact situation below.
　　Ye Wushuang leaped down and landed inside…
　　The howling wind roared in his ears.
　　Soon, Ye Wushuang’s feet touched the ground.
　　The hard ground exuded a faint chill.
　　The stone walls on either side were even more enveloped in icy cold air.
　　Ye Wushuang’s gaze sharpened as he gripped the Taiyuan Spirit Sword, becoming cautious and alert.
　　Ahead lay a winding and twisting passage, its destination unknown.
　　Ye Wushuang concealed his aura and proceeded forward along the passage.
　　Thud…
　　Suddenly.
　　A low thud echoed from ahead.
　　Then, waves of spiritual energy erupted, surging toward him from the passage ahead.
　　Ye Wushuang did not stop, instead quickening his pace.
　　Finally, arriving at the end of the passage, he saw only a vast underground castle ahead.
　　At　a　glance.
　　Rows upon rows of houses and palaces, from top to bottom, numbered in the hundreds, and unlike those above ground, the structures here were perfectly preserved, without the slightest damage—even upon closer inspection, they looked as good as new.
　　And now.
　　Qi Zhenzhong, Qi Zhentian, Qi Zhenshan, as well as Zhao Tianqing and others, were all standing at the center of this underground castle, surveying their surroundings.
　　Yu Feiyan, the second-in-command of the Yu family, was also among them.
　　Only, Yu Feiyan’s expression at this moment seemed somewhat unnatural.
　　Initially, upon discovering this place, Yu Feiyan had been overjoyed and, harboring selfish motives, had not planned to inform the Qi and Zhao families to come together.
　　But who would have thought that breaking the seal at the end of the passage earlier would cause such a commotion, drawing the attention of both the Qi and Zhao families.
　　The place he had intended to monopolize was now packed with people.
　　Meanwhile, Qi Zhenzhong and Zhao Tianqing wore expressions of delight.
　　Qi Zhenzhong took a step forward and immediately ordered, ‘Search, leave no stone unturned.’
　　’Yes！’
　　One by one, warriors from the Qi, Zhao, and Yu families scattered in all directions.
　　The group had entered this ruined land for some time now, yet found nothing.
　　But now, this place seemed far from ordinary, and they were certain not to leave empty-handed.
　　Before long.
　　”Big brother！”
　　Qi Zhenshan emerged from a square stone hut, beaming with joy, and said, “Come take a look.”
　　Qi Zhenzhong flashed to Qi Zhenshan’s side and peered into the stone hut.
　　The entire stone hut measured three zhang in length and width, with both side walls lined with spiritual weapons one after another.
　　Qi Zhenshan exclaimed excitedly, “I did a quick check earlier—there are nine Emperor-grade spiritual artifacts and over a dozen Supreme-grade ones！”
　　”Moreover, perhaps because this place is well-preserved, these spiritual weapons haven’t lost their potency. They’re all in perfect condition.”
　　Nine Emperor-grade spiritual artifacts.
　　This alone was enough to drive Qi Zhenzhong and the others wild with excitement.
　　In the entire Tianyuan Continent, are there even a thousand Star-Plucking Realm martial artists combined？
　　And not every one of these Star-Plucking Realm martial artists possesses an Emperor-grade spiritual artifact.
　　The value of a single Emperor-grade spiritual artifact is immense.
　　”Gather them all, take everything！”
　　”Yes！”
　　Soon, members of the Zhao and Yu families also discovered various cultivation resources in the surrounding houses.
　　Pills, spiritual tools, spiritual techniques, and some well-preserved natural treasures and the like.
　　Moreover, most of them are suitable for warriors at the Delusional Realm and Star-Plucking Realm levels.
　　The spiritual treasures gathered from the three factions were all brought to the central martial field and piled up, forming a considerable fortune.
　　Watching from the tunnel entrance, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but feel a growing itch in his heart.
