With a wave of his right hand, a blue Mana palm directly grabbed that eerie red thread.

"This is... 'Blood Soul Silk'?"

After Xu Ping observed and examined it closely, his face inadvertently flashed a hint of surprise.

But upon careful thought, Song Li, after all, is a direct descendant of the Song family, so having 'Blood Soul Silk' implanted by a Fake Pill cultivator isn't unusual.

This Secret Technique can only be performed by at least a Fake Pill wielder, leaving a thread of blood on a relative. If someone kills the relative, this Blood Soul Silk lodges on the murderer, constantly tracking their whereabouts, discovering and finding them even if they escape a thousand miles.

Once the red thread was caught by Xu Ping's Mana palm, it continued to struggle and twist, attempting to wrap around him.

"Burn!"

Xu Ping murmured, and a cluster of blue True Flame appeared out of thin air, incinerating it into nothingness.

"This place is exposed, I must leave!"

Xu Ping scavenged all useful items on Song Li's body, then used Foundation Establishment True Flame to burn his corpse to ashes, packed up the Array, and quietly departed the place.

...

...

The Song family estate.

At the core of the Third-rank Spirit Vein, a yellow-robed Daoist had his eyes closed, with countless Spiritual Qi pouring into his body with each breath.

Just when Xu Ping killed Song Li, the yellow-robed Daoist suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed through his gaze, and his face revealed a hint of anger: "Who dares to kill a descendant of my clan?"

He suddenly stood up and pointed his finger, causing a surge of Mana, revealing a blurry image.

In the next moment.

Buzz!

Mana scattered, and the blurry image instantly disappeared.

"Someone destroyed the 'Blood Soul Silk'!" The yellow-robed Daoist's face slightly changed.

Burning Blood Soul Silk isn't difficult, but detecting it is extremely hard, at least requiring a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a strong Divine Sense.

"Who could it be?" The yellow-robed Daoist frowned in thought.

In the Wanzhe Waters, there aren't many late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators with a powerful Divine Sense, but throughout Yue Country, there are many late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Now without any clues, it's undoubtedly like searching for a needle in a haystack.

As he pondered silently, he suddenly looked up towards the depths of Wanzhe Waters, showing a shocked expression: "What is this...?"

...

...

The depths of Wanzhe Waters.

An expansive desolated island abruptly began to shake violently.

In the next moment, the calm lake surface surged, countless fish and shrimp were thrown from the lake bottom to the surface, as if a minor earthquake occurred.

Rumbling!

A blue light pillar soared into the sky, visible clearly within hundreds of miles!

At this moment, Duan Shuang and Gong Yang hurriedly flew away from the desolated island, shocked by the changes in the ruins.

"This is going to be big!"

The two exchanged glances, such a significant disturbance couldn't help but be noticed throughout Wanzhe Waters.

They didn't want this, after all, who would've thought that merely breaking the outer Array would cause such a huge commotion?

"Fellow Daoist Duan?" Recovering their senses, Gong Yang turned his head towards Duan Shuang, with greed flashing in his eyes.

"Yes!" Duan Shuang firmly nodded.

Although the two didn't explicitly say it, they already understood each other's intentions.

The ruins caused such a commotion, it's certainly not ordinary Golden Core cultivator's remnants, possibly even Nascent Soul cultivator's relics.

If they can gain some opportunity or treasure from it, achieving Golden Core is no longer unreachable.

What they must do now is to explore the ruins as much as possible before others arrive.

Duan Shuang and Yang's eyes showed determination as they flew back to the desolated island.

However, in the next instant, they felt their bodies as heavy as thousands of pounds, forcing them to land on the lake surface: "Forbidden space Restriction? Breaking the outer Array somehow triggered the ruins' forbidden space Restriction?"

...

...

The outskirts of Wanzhe Waters.

Xu Ping was flying in the air, piloting Escape Light.

At this moment, he suddenly turned back, looking towards the depths of Wanzhe Waters, his eyebrows subtly raised.

Despite the distance, he could vaguely sense an unusual Spiritual Qi fluctuation emanating from the depths.

That fluctuation was like a storm, causing his heart to tremble: "What on earth is happening?"

Such a significant disturbance, a normal Golden Core cultivator or third-rank Array definitely cannot trigger.

"Could it be the work of a Late-stage Golden Core Great Cultivator, fourth-rank Array, or even a Nascent Soul ancestor?"

Xu Ping speculated, but couldn't find an answer, yet no matter the situation, he didn't want to get involved.

"Hopefully, it won't affect my Spirit Wood cultivation." He prayed silently, yet felt uneasy.

Thousand Leaves Mountain is right next to Wanzhe Waters, if something big indeed happens, how can he remain unaffected?

Just as Xu Ping was burdened with worries, preparing to continue his flight, he suddenly paused, thinking of this possibility:

"Wait, Duan Shuang and Gong Yang planned to explore the ruins supposedly in the depths of Wanzhe Waters!"

"Could it be the ruins causing this?"

Xu Ping pondered for a moment, turned his palm over, and a Super Long-distance Sound Transmission Talisman appeared in his hand.

Then he injected a trace of Mana into it.

This Super Long-distance Sound Transmission Talisman flashed briefly, but quickly dimmed, as if obstructed by an invisible force.

"Blocked!" Xu Ping's face slightly changed.

It's evidently Duan Shuang's Super Long-distance Sound Transmission Talisman being blocked by Array or Restriction.

"Is it really their exploration of that ruins causing the commotion?"

Xu Ping's expression was uncertain, eventually only able to silently sigh, "Hope they both return safely!"

Currently, the situation remains unclear, and he definitely doesn't want to risk diving into danger to find them.

...

...

Several days later, an explosive news spreads across Wanzhe Waters.
