**Boom, boom, boom…**
The deep, rumbling sounds echoed through the air.
In the blink of an eye, the four guards at the First Level of the Yuanfu Realm, who had been stationed there, were now lifeless bodies sprawled on the ground.
“Let’s go inside and take a look,” Ye Wushuang said decisively.
Wang Kun let out a helpless smile. He had gradually grown accustomed to Ye Wushuang’s resolute nature. With the disciples participating in the assessment causing trouble in the underground palace and the elders of the Qingyun Academy intervening, chaos was inevitable. This was the perfect opportunity to strike.
As they entered the first level of the Tianzi Secret Palace, a vast expanse greeted them. Normally, dozens of guards would be stationed here, but now, the area was eerily empty.
Ascending to the second level, they immediately sensed that although the space was slightly smaller than the first, the concentration of spiritual energy was incredibly dense. Wang Kun carefully absorbed the pure spiritual energy around him and exclaimed, “It’s coming back to me!”
Ye Wushuang and the others turned their attention to him.
“I remember now. I once heard a hall master mention that the Tianzi Secret Palace has a total of five levels. The first level is where the hall masters reside to protect the safety of the palace. The second level, however, is something special. It’s a Third-Level Spirit-Gathering Array that Wang Jianmu specifically constructed to study the mysteries of bloodlines!”
A Third-Level Spirit-Gathering Array!
Qing Shihua and Qing Shiyu’s faces paled. They knew that the Qingyun Academy’s famous Shengyun Valley was actually centered around a Second-Level Spirit-Gathering Array, combined with the unique geographical features of the academy. A Third-Level array was incredibly rare and powerful.
“Why did Wang Jianmu build such an array? To help his followers cultivate?” Qing Shihua asked.
“No, it’s not for that!” Wang Kun quickly replied. “The hall master told me that among the Ye clan members captured in the past, some were too weak to be of any use for research. So, Wang Jianmu helped them cultivate and improve their realms. Then, he would draw their blood and even use special pills to refine their soul energies…”
“These monsters,” Qing Shiyu spat, her voice filled with hatred. “Treating people like livestock…”
It was clear that Wang Jianmu had been raising these people, fattening them up like animals, only to slaughter them later.
“Let’s go upstairs and see,” Ye Wushuang said, gripping the Tianya Sword tightly as he cautiously moved forward. This was the core of the entire underground palace, and even though the Tiāngāng and Yuanfu Realm cultivators had left, it didn’t mean it was safe.
When they reached the third level, there was no resistance. As they opened the door and stepped inside, a chilling, sinister aura washed over them.
“Ah…”
In the next moment, Qing Shiyu let out a scream and threw herself into Ye Wushuang’s arms. Qing Shihua’s face turned ashen, and she almost screamed as well. Even Wang Kun was rooted to the spot, stunned.
The third level, which was slightly smaller than the second, was a hundred paces in diameter. The floor and walls were covered with piles of eerie white bones. Some of the bones were almost decayed, while others were still fresh. Countless skulls were heaped together, creating a scene that sent shivers down one’s spine. Even the bones had green moss growing on them, which shimmered with a ghastly green glow in the breeze.
It was like a scene straight out of hell.
Ye Wushuang’s anger boiled over as he looked at the piles of bones. How many of these were members of the Ye clan?
When he had created the Ye clan with his ninth divine spirit, it wasn’t just the eighteen Tianwei warriors he cared about; these clan members were also his most cherished beings.
Ye Wushuang stepped forward, his footsteps crushing the bones beneath him with a series of crackling sounds. But suddenly, he froze, his entire body trembling violently…
