Ye Wushuang calmly stated, “It seems they also don’t know much about this secret place. In that case, once everyone enters, we’ll all be fumbling in the dark, relying on our own exploration.”
”As long as they separate, it”ll give me an opportunity!”
”Even if they don”t split up, anything could happen inside the secret place. We just need to find the right moment to strike.”
Huang Yu looked at Ye Wushuang with an expression full of admiration.
Leaving aside Ye Wushuang’s talent and strength, his temperament alone was something worth learning from.
”Get ready. After waiting a bit longer, we”ll set off!”
”Mm.”
After waiting for about half an hour, the three of them saw no further movement at the cave entrance and prepared to move out.
But just then, a group of six people suddenly emerged from the dense forest, cautiously scanning their surroundings.
The leader was a young man, around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking very spirited.
”It”s him!”
Huang Yu quickly crouched down and whispered, “Pei Wenjie from the Pei family.”
The Pei family?
Huang Yu saw Ye Wushuang’s gaze turn towards him and continued: “After the old clan leader of the Pei family, Pei Yuanze, passed away back then, they’ve gone through three generations of clan leaders over these several thousand years. The current clan leader is named Pei Yongchang.”
”This Pei Wenjie is the son of Pei Minglang, who is Pei Yongchang’s son. He’s also one of the most renowned prodigies among the third-generation disciples of the Pei family, now at the mid-stage of the Stellar Transformation Realm.”
Huang Yu said with a look of surprise: “I never expected that even the Pei family would send someone to this Burial Saint Grotto.”
Ye Wushuang glanced over but didn’t say anything.
This time, it wasn’t just people from various major families of Tianhuang Continent—even the neighboring Tianxuan Continent to the east had sent people.
Perhaps none of the factions from Tianyuan Continent themselves anticipated that this trip to the Burial Saint Grotto would attract so much attention, with people from two neighboring continents braving the risks to come.
Only after Pei Wenjie and his five companions entered the passageway did Ye Wushuang and the other two stand up.
”The Pei family has always remained neutral, staying out of the conflicts between our imperial family and the three families of the Cao clan. Yet this time, Pei Wenjie actually came!”
Huang Yu found it utterly unbelievable.
Ye Wushuang, however, said: “What’s so strange about that?”
”The Shi family, the Cao family, and the Shu family—I see the current generation’s prodigies, the future pillars, have come here to improve themselves while incidentally helping the Spirit Sword Pavilion by eliminating some warriors from the native forces of Tianyuan Continent…”
”As for Pei Wenjie’s arrival, it’s likely also for self-improvement. Even if the Pei family remains neutral, they still need the strength to maintain that neutrality.”
Huang Yu nodded deeply in agreement.
”Let’s go!”
The three of them entered the passage together.
Not long after Ye Wushuang and the other two entered the passage, the rustling sounds in the dense forest resumed.
Another group of eight appeared at the cave entrance at this moment.
”Interesting, truly interesting.”
The leader was a fair-skinned young man with jade-like features and red lips, his aura restrained, exuding an air of mastery with every breath.
”Cao Anmin and Shi Simiao from Tianhuang Continent, Shi Yuzan, and even the imperial family’s Fifth Prince Huang Song…”
”Add to that Pei Wenjie from the Pei family and that Ye Wushuang from Tianyuan Continent, who actually teamed up with Huang Yu from Tianhuang Continent.”
The young man narrowed his eyes and said, “This Burial Saint Cave is truly alluring.”
”Young Master, shall we also go in and take a look?”
”Of course we should. Leaving aside any potential opportunities, just the chance to spar with the prodigies from these two continents is something to look forward to.”
Hearing this, one of the entourage immediately laughed and said, “Young Master Yutang is the most outstanding genius of our Xuan Family. These people are not even worthy of comparing with you…”
The young man promptly responded, “Although our Xuan Family has indeed surpassed the Bai, Mu, and Wu Families of the Tianxuan Continent, we are not the absolute authority on the Tianxuan Continent either.”
”Remember, there is always someone better beyond you, and skies beyond skies. The geniuses of the Tianyuan Continent and the Tianhuang Continent are no pushovers either…”
The group nodded in agreement, but deep down, they still believed their young master’s talent was unparalleled and unmatched.
Soon, the group of eight headed into the cave entrance.
Within this small, mysterious, and unknown cave, four teams had now gathered, each harboring their own thoughts…
Inside the passage.
Ye Wushuang, Huang Yu, and Zhou Yuan moved forward cautiously, staying vigilant.
Initially, the passage was only slightly taller than a person, so cramped that two people walking side by side would feel crowded.
As they continued deeper, the path gradually widened.
Moreover, after walking for about fifteen minutes, the passage ahead suddenly opened up, reaching a height of three zhang and a width of over one zhang at a glance.
On the walls flanking the passage, remnants of formation arrays could be seen, along with traces of blood soaking into the soil on the ground.
Huang Yu let out a breath and said, “It seems Cao Anmin, Shi Yutan, and the others didn’t have a smooth journey either.”
Ye Wushuang nodded slightly.
Continuing forward, they walked for about fifty li. It was clear this path no longer led into the mountain’s interior.
Suddenly, at one moment,
as Zhou Yuan took a step forward, his figure abruptly paused.
”What’s wrong?” Huang Yu immediately asked nervously.
The entire way, he had felt uneasy.
Logically speaking, as an early-stage Zhai Xing Hua Jing cultivator, Huang Yu was considered a powerhouse on the Tianhuang Continent.
But now, the people they encountered were all prodigies at the Zhai Xing Hua Jing level. One misstep, and his life could be forfeited.
Moreover, this was happening within the dangerous illusionary realm of the Burial Saint Grotto, crafted by a Saint.
”It’s different now.”
Zhou Yuan frowned and said, “We seem to have entered another space.”
”Another space?”
Huang Yu exclaimed in shock, “This illusionary realm was already created by a Saint. How can there be another space within it?”
Zhou Yuan glanced at Huang Yu and retorted, “What the hell do you know? This illusionary realm is crafted to be no less intricate than the real world.”
”The Saint who created this illusionary realm must have possessed extraordinary power. And the number of Saints who died after entering it—I estimate at least a dozen.”
At these words, Huang Yu’s face turned deathly pale.
To them, Sages were like deities, beings of divine stature.
At least ten Sages died within this Void Realm?
That’s downright terrifying!
”Be careful. We haven’t seen the bodies of Cao Anmin or Pei Wenjie’s teams yet, so they’re probably fine.”
After Ye Wushuang spoke, he continued forward.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, faint glimmers of light flickered at the end of the dim passage ahead, dazzling to the eyes…
