Deep beneath the river that had turned red from the blood of the cultivators who had died, there was a hidden chamber that no one knew about.In the center of the chamber, a blackish-red energy sphere floated quietly.Hundreds of thick chains bound the energy sphere from all directions. Each chain was deeply embedded into the stone walls, while its surface was covered with ancient runes that continued to flicker.Layer upon layer of formations surrounded it.There was a Sealing Formation.There was a Purification Formation.There were also several ancient formations that were difficult to recognize.All of these formations had continued operating for countless years without ever stopping.As if they had only one purpose.To seal whatever was inside the energy sphere.However, the blood flowing through the river was slowly changing everything.At first, only a few drops of blood seeped through the cracks in the stone.Then more and more followed.The blood of the cultivators who had di

Zheng Niu immediately ran toward Shi Yan.His face was filled with concern. Although he knew that the figure before them was extremely dangerous, he could not possibly leave Shi Yan behind after seeing the young man take the attack head-on.However, before Zheng Niu could reach Shi Yan, the thin figure suddenly disappeared.Swoosh!In an instant, he was already standing in front of Zheng Niu. Zheng Niu did not even have time to raise his sword. A clenched fist shot forward.Boom!The fist struck Zheng Niu's head directly. Blood and fragments of bone scattered in all directions. Zheng Niu's body was sent flying backward before finally falling to the ground without a sound.Shi Yan froze. His eyes widened. He truly had not expected Zheng Niu to die so quickly."Senior Zheng..."Shi Yan's voice was faint. He stared at Zheng Niu's body lying on the ground. Just moments ago, they had still been walking together. They had talked. They had laughed. Zheng Niu had even treated him like a young

Shi Yan continued staring at the soul before him with deep suspicion. Although the figure kept begging and offering the Flame God Body Technique in exchange for his life, Shi Yan did not completely trust him. After all, this person had previously tried to take control of his body. If not for the mysterious existence sealed deep within his body, his consciousness might already have been taken over by this person.However, there was one thing that caught Shi Yan's interest.The Flame God Body Technique.For many years, Shi Yan had possessed extremely powerful fire energy within his body. He had also learned various techniques related to fire, but he had always felt that there was still something he could not control perfectly. If this technique could truly strengthen his body while also improving his control over fire energy, then it might be extremely useful to him.After thinking for a while, Shi Yan finally nodded."Fine. I can give you a chance. However, don't think that just becaus

The Elder of the Wei Clan finally stepped forward several paces. His sharp gaze was fixed on Shi Yan as he spoke in a deep voice, “It seems that what Zhong Kun said does have enough reason to be investigated. Inside that small world, the Wei Clan lost two of our family's geniuses, the First Young Master Wei Gang and the Second Young Master Wei Lang. Until now, we still do not clearly know how they died, who killed them, or what exactly happened inside the God Gate. You are one of the people who came out alive, so I want to verify the truth. If you are willing to allow us to perform a soul search technique and the examination proves that you were not involved in their deaths, I, Wei Dong, will guarantee your safety. No one from the Wei Clan will touch you, and I can even ensure that the Zhong Clan stops pursuing you. In my opinion, this is the simplest way to resolve this matter.”Shi Yan stared at Wei Dong with an indifferent expression. He then chuckled softly, as if he had just hear

The Wei Clan residence was located in the eastern part of the city, surrounded by high stone walls and a massive iron gate guarded by two soldiers wearing light armor. As Wang Lin and Shi Yan approached, the guards immediately became vigilant.“Stop right there! The Wei Clan residence is not a place just anyone can visit!” one of the guards shouted.“Didn't I already tell the people from the Wei Clan that I would come here to demand an explanation? Where is your master? Don't bark at me,” Wang Lin said, barely sparing the guard who had just shouted at him a glance.One of the guards was momentarily stunned before finally forcing a stiff smile. “Oh. Please come in. Master Wei has been waiting for you inside.”Wang Lin casually walked through the gate, while Shi Yan followed with light but alert steps. As they entered, the guards whispered among themselves. Some even shook their heads, as if pitying the two for voluntarily walking into the tiger's den alone.The Wei Clan residence looke
