Qing Shiyu gazed at Ye Wushuang, whose expression was utterly composed, and blurted out, “Are you… are you terrified to death?”

Ye Wushuang looked back at Qing Shiyu with a sense of speechlessness and replied with a tinge of helplessness, “I think it’s you who’s terrified to death, isn’t it?”

“M-me? I’m not scared at all!” Qing Shiyu puffed out her rather impressive chest, raised her head, and huffed, “So what if it’s Chu Yunsheng and those few Qi-Condensation realm experts from the Wen family? I… I’m not afraid!”

Ye Wushuang shook his head and took a step forward.

“Um…” Qing Shiyu hurriedly caught up and said, “How about we wait a bit longer? If we run into them, we’re as good as dead…”

However, Ye Wushuang paid no attention to Qing Shiyu and continued into the depths of the valley.

As they ventured further into the valley, a towering cliff came into view. The cliff stood a hundred zhang tall and was several hundred zhang wide. Faint inscriptions seemed to be etched on its surface, but time had taken its toll, and the characters were too weathered to be deciphered.

In one corner of the cliff, an ancient stone door stood ajar, looking weather-beaten and on the verge of collapse.

“*That’s* the entrance,” Qing Shiyu said urgently. “We discovered it earlier.”

At that moment, Ye Wushuang approached the entrance.

To the left of the stone door, a long sword was carved into the stone. However, the passage of time had eroded its surface, making it impossible to discern the sword’s details.

Ye Wushuang stepped forward and gently caressed the engraved sword pattern. His eyes turned slightly red as he murmured, “It must be Xu Wenhuan, one of the Eighteen Heavenly Guards!”

“Xu Wenhuan?”

Qing Shiyu immediately responded, “I’ve heard that five hundred years ago, he was the most formidable swordsman by Ye Wentian’s side. He had grasped the Sword Intent and his Drifting Snow Sword Technique was unparalleled at his cultivation level.”

“Hmm? No, that’s not right.”

Qing Shiyu suddenly realized something and looked at Ye Wushuang in astonishment.

“How do you know it’s Xu Wenhuan?”

Ye Wushuang exhaled and said indifferently, “Whether it is or not, we’ll find out once we go inside.”

At that moment, inside the cave, Chu Yunsheng, Tan Yun’er, Li Xiangwen, and more than a dozen other disciples from Qingyun Academy, along with over twenty people from the Wen family, were cautiously exploring ahead.

Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu, on the other hand, followed carefully from a short distance behind…

After entering the cave, they found themselves in a long tunnel. Surprisingly, despite its age, the tunnel was not damp but rather dry.

Qing Shiyu, gripping her sword, whispered cautiously, “This part of the journey is safe. We traveled through this tunnel and reached a depth of three hundred zhang, where we encountered an underground chaos of boulders. There are spiritual beasts lurking within, and strange formations—it’s quite eerie…”

In this manner, both groups entered the relic site, proceeding with great caution.

As Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu entered and passed through the tunnel, they indeed saw a chaotic boulder forest. Without hesitation, Ye Wushuang stepped into it.

Less than a hundred meters in, they spotted two corpses by the path, their chests torn apart by spiritual beasts, in a gruesome state of death.

“*They’re* from the Wang family!”

Qing Shiyu spat out in anger, “These bastards are despicable, using other people’s lives to pave their way.”

Although they were underground, dim sunlight still filtered down from above, illuminating the surroundings in a unique way.

The two continued to venture deeper when they heard the sounds of combat ahead.

They hid behind a large boulder and peered forward.

In the chaos of the boulder forest, the Wen family members and the disciples of Qingyun Academy were now blocked by several spiritual beasts, each ten zhang tall.

“Second-stage spiritual beasts, Jade Thunder Tigers!”

These towering beasts had fur as green as jade, with faint flashes of lightning. Not only were they massive, but their attacks were incredibly powerful.

The few Qi-Condensation realm experts from the Wen family had already engaged in battle.

However, these Jade Thunder Tigers were only at the initial Qi-Condensation realm and were clearly no match for the group. They were swiftly defeated.

The crowd continued forward, stopping after another few hundred zhang.

Before them stood an imposing hall, its entire structure gleaming with a dark iron luster. At first glance, it inspired awe and a sense of reverence.
