"Alright! Be careful!"
Shan Baiyi nodded and, with a word of caution, left the dungeon, heading towards the outside world.
The collaboration with the Shenxiao Dao Sect was beneficial for Shan Baiyi as well. The longevity-extending elixir was undoubtedly one of the most valuable elixirs in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
No one disliked such an expensive elixir!
Shan Baiyi was no exception.
Watching Shan Baiyi leave, Fu Chao asked, "Do we really trust him?"
"What else can we do if we donât? Youâve all witnessed Zhao Yibaiâs cultivation, and even if we risked our lives, we wouldnât know if we could defeat him!"
Li Yunjing sighed and continued, "Besides, our promise is to provide the longevity-extending elixir! You all know how expensive this elixir is! For someone with little lifespan left, this is the ultimate treasure!"
"Under normal circumstances, Shan Baiyi will follow the agreement."
"Thatâs right! Moreover, for Shan Baiyi, this matter is a trivial task, and he wonât have to pay much of a price."
Yu Yunyi chimed in.
"We canât put all our hope in him! We should continue exploring the depths of the dungeon for the rumored Netherworld Great Saintâs treasure!"
Lv Ruoxi added.
Li Yunjing and the others continued underground, walking seven or eight miles until they finally reached the end.
In front of them was a pitch-black cave.
A layer of glazed light surrounded the caveâs entrance.
Within this light shield, strands of primordial energy moved around the cave entrance.
These strands of primordial energy occasionally transformed into sharp little swords, almost brimming with powerful destructive force.
Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao looked solemnly at the sealing barrier before them.
This could be the seal left by the Immortal Swordsmen who slew the Netherworld Great Saint eight hundred years ago!
The Netherworld Great Saintâs cultivation was now uncertain; that era was too long ago. Some records indicated Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm, others Golden Core Realm Ninth Heaven, and still others suggested Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.
In any case, with the identities of Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao, it was impossible to ascertain the truth.
Of course, the key documents of the Shenxiao Dao Sect definitely had records of this period.
But Li Yunjing and the group did not have access to accurate information.
They were already pressed to the point of either trying to break the seal or retreating to fight to the death against Zhao Yibai.
There was no other path to choose.
"It seems that the Xu Family is also very afraid of this restriction. They want to use the cultivatorsâ flesh in a blood sacrifice to break this eight-hundred-year-old grand array."
Research on the array naturally fell to Li Yunjing. After observing repeatedly, he spoke.
"Old Li, is there any way to break it?"
Fu Chao was anxious; he didnât care what method the Xu Family used to break the array. His only thought was to quickly open the array and see what the Netherworld Great Saint had left behind.
"Donât rush!"
When breaking an array, the worst thing is to be rushed. Hearing Fu Chaoâs words, Li Yunjingâs brows almost twisted together.
If someone other than Fu Chao had rushed him, Li Yunjing would have lashed out.
Fu Chao realized his faux pas and smiled apologetically, showing a hint of regret.
Li Yunjing ignored him and continued, "If the seal were in its prime, we absolutely wouldnât have the ability to break it!"
"However, now, after eight hundred years, this grand array has neither an array hub, nor an array master, and lacks sufficient spirit stones. Itâs not difficult to break it for me."
"Thatâs great!"
Hearing Li Yunjingâs words, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao all smiled.
"Should we be wary of the demon artifacts inside?"
Yu Yunyi asked cautiously.
"No problem! Whatever big killer artifact the Netherworld Great Saint has, after such a long time, theyâve almost entirely lost their power."
Li Yunjing had evaluated this point, and it was no problem.
If the demon artifact still had its power, the Immortal Swordsmenâs seal wouldnât bind it, and the Xu Family wouldâve been wiped out long ago, rather than standing here for hundreds of years.
"Alright!"
After listening to Li Yunjingâs analysis, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao all nodded.
Now, instead of fearing the powerful relics from the Netherworld Great Saint, they worried about them being eroded by time and losing their effectiveness.
If they failed to deal with Zhao Yibai, theyâd be in trouble.
The few treasures they had might be exhausted, and still, they couldnât be sure they could defeat Zhao Yibai.
"Letâs attack together with our mana!"
Li Yunjing shouted, and Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao simultaneously wielded spiritual flying swords, bombarding the glazed light shield.
"Boom boom boom!"
Divine weapons sliced through the air, continuously striking the cave entrance, an invisible force tirelessly blocking Li Yunjing and the groupâs assault.
After half an hour, the glazed light shield dimmed slightly, and Li Yunjing called for a temporary rest.
"Everyone restore your mana and maintain peak condition!"
Seeing Fu Chaoâs puzzled look, Li Yunjing continued giving orders.
After hearing Li Yunjingâs words, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao finally understood and thought, "Embarrassing!"
Li Yunjingâs experience was rich, and even in this situation, he remained calm, ensuring everyone maintained their state. If they broke the restriction, Zhao Yibai might detect the situation and come to hunt them down.
