"Send the Firefly Charm down to investigate."

"Yes—"

The team temporarily halted, and Liu Jinxian finally had time to spare. She said to Wang Yu, "Junior Brother Wang, what are your thoughts on the Mysterious Bone Mountain underground?"

"This one is untalented, hardly comparable to Senior Martial Sister Liu's talent, it's better if I don't speak."

"Heh, you do have some self-awareness, merely Qi Condensation Stage Fifth Layer…"

"Shut up!"

Liu Jinxian's eyebrows shot up, and she coldly glanced at this disciple. The other party immediately fell silent, not daring to speak again.

Wang Yu didn't care. The matter of him abandoning Gu Zhengshun and relying on Liu Jinxian had already spread during these five months of waiting for the flowers to bloom.

Without the truth being exposed, there were not a few Senior Brothers who were jealous of him obtaining the Second Level upper-grade Bone Wood Forest. A few verbal disputes were hard to pique his interest.

"They're back—"

Skipping the small interlude, as the Firefly Charm with a lit rear returned, the disciple spoke.

"Senior Martial Sister Liu, below is an underground passage similar to a mine tunnel, its specific destination is unknown, it seems to be heading north, deep into the Endless Ice Plain underground."

"Alright, go down."

The order was given, and everyone jumped into the bottomless dark Pit Cave one by one. Counting silently in their hearts, when they landed, Wang Yu immediately judged the height of this Pit Cave.

About thirteen hundred meters, if he were to use a Flying Magic Tool, it would only take five breaths to rush up. The underground temperature was low, and the cold wind was biting, but for him, it was like entering his home ground.

His dark green and black eyes shone with a faint light, resembling a wild beast, capable of directly seeing in the dark, which also caused the people observing him in secret to harbor some doubts.

"Ma, Xu, and Fang, the three of you stay here to ensure the rear route is clear.

"Su Qing Shan, Wang Qiu, Qiu Qing… you five will be the vanguard, unleash your Magic Artifacts, be careful and vigilant, don't be stingy with Spirit Power."

"Yes!"

Liu Jinxian quickly arranged things, appearing quite experienced. Currently, there were eighteen Late Qi Condensation Stage cultivators for her to command. Three were left to guard, and five were vanguards. These few vanguards were not Gu Poison Peak disciples.

Instead, they were elites selected from the scattered Profound Bone Token Holders before departing for Mysterious Bone Mountain. Favoritism and distance were clear at a glance.

Counting Wang Yu and Liu Jinxian, the middle team had a full twelve people.

After the last battle, although Liu Jinxian had not used all her methods, she had witnessed the power of the Second Rank Divine Power Corpse Arm. To some extent, she had reached a cooperation with him.

That is—dealing with Gu Zhengshun!

This countermeasure was not Wang Yu's original intention, but simply going with the flow. After all, he was outnumbered, and in that situation, he could only submit.

Calling him along was nothing more than cutting off his retreat.

After submitting a Pledge of Loyalty, he only had one path to follow her to the end. This woman's schemes are deep, and he needs to be more cautious.

"Let's go."

As the team proceeded along this tunnel, the Magic Artifacts unleashed by Su Qing Shan and others, mainly offensive Magic Artifacts like sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, emitted light under the augmentation of Spirit Power, dispelling the darkness.

The irregular stone walls on both sides had many traces of sharp claws scratching. In the air, besides the cold, there was also a faint musty odor. Wang Yu silently took a Top-Grade Barrier Removal Pill and honestly followed forward.

A little over an hour later.

Someone muttered, "The further we go, the colder it becomes. Are we heading towards the Endless Ice Plain? Is it going against Gu Zhengshun's secret?"

Someone echoed, "I think so too. Since the Bone Lion and Bee Swarm both emerged from underground, why haven't we encountered a single one for so long… Senior Martial Sister Liu."

At this moment, many people had a layer of frost hanging on their hair and eyebrows. Between conversations, dense white vapor was exhaled, showing how low the temperature was.

The emergence of questioning voices displeased Liu Jinxian. She preferred her own way of being arbitrary and 독단적인, but when out and about, the voices of the masses still had to be listened to.

"Wait a moment." After saying this, she pinched out a strange Charm Seal.

Dense, centipede-like multi-legged insects poured out from her sleeves, collar, seams of her dress… and even from her thick black hair, truly a human insect nest.

These Gu Insects were extremely fast, disappearing into the darkness in an instant.

Shortly.

Liu Jinxian suddenly opened her eyes, a look of joy on her face.

"Everyone, continue forward, we will reach the destination in about ten more li."

Since that was the case, everyone stopped their idle talk and quickened their pace.

They did not encounter any danger along the way and arrived at the place just mentioned.

The end of the tunnel was actually a huge Underground space, wide and flat, paved with old jade stones. The Spirit Gathering Runes on the jade bricks were blurred and unclear.

A group of Underground palaces suddenly came into view, with at least forty or fifty buildings. In the middle were ascending steps leading directly to the core palace.

Seeing this scene, someone blurted out.

"This is… Ancient Sect Ruins, this range is already under the Endless Ice Plain, right?!!"

"This—"

The danger of the Endless Ice Plain is known to all.

Even Nascent Soul Ancestors find it difficult to pass through, and the Great Lake Spirit Domain and Red Kite Demon Domain, which are blocked from heading north, are surrounded by sea on three sides, also known as the Chaotic Ancient Sea. Demon Beasts in the sea are ferocious, and Natural Barriers are everywhere, and there is no news from other regions either.

Building a Sect Gate's old site under the Endless Ice Plain was something these Inner Sect Disciples with considerable family backgrounds had never heard of. Suddenly seeing it, they were all shocked.

Wang Yu secretly observed Liu Jinxian and found that her Emotion in her eyes was initially surprise, then disappointment, and then turned into faint joy.

It could be seen that her Emotional changes were not as calm as they appeared on the surface.

"According to this scale, it is at most a Sect established by a Core Formation Cultivator in ancient times. Everyone, maintain vigilance and do not touch anything carelessly."

Thus, everyone continued forward.

Su Qing Shan and others were also shocked by these Underground Palace Ruins. In their excitement, they no longer placed too much Intentions on Wang Yu.

In any case, for them, Qi Condensation Cultivators, it was already a great Opportunity, not to be missed.

Comparing the two, Wang Yu was thoughtful.

Liu Jinxian might know the secret of Mysterious Bone Mountain, just like Gu Zhengshun, and even Situ Hong might know, but it was just not up to their expectations.

Before, after noticing the effect and yield of the Profound Essence Flower, Wang Yu was puzzled. This kind of treasure land is also surrounded by a High-Second Tier Spirit Vein, why is it that no Foundation Establishment Cultivator is permanently stationed here?

This is unreasonable for a Demonic Cultivator, for a Faction.

But if it is jointly concealed by multiple parties, provided for mid-to-upper-level disciples to train, and left as a reward, then it makes sense.

No matter how good the Profound Essence Flower is, it is only a Lower Level Resource. Making some exchange of benefits, with the family backgrounds of Liu Jinxian and others, they can control it.

As for the Underground Palace Ruins, Wang Yu leaned towards it being a recent discovery.

They might even be the first group of people to enter. This is possible. A detailed investigation later will clarify things. He is also very interested in this place, wondering if there is a Top Grade Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula.

Before the ascending steps, as everyone arrived, on the Summits of the Coiled Dragon Pillars standing tall on both sides, Octagonal Palace Lanterns were lighting up with faint blue flames.

Illuminating the entire Underground space somewhat.
