Cave?

Swish!

At that moment, everyone's gaze turned.

They saw a hidden cave not far away. Before the cave lay piles of rubble and vines, extremely concealed. And that surge of massive demonic energy burst forth from this place.

Evidently, the source of the beast tide was right here.

However.

Everyone stood before the cave, not daring to step inside.

What kind of presence could cause such a colossal beast tide? If they rashly entered, they had no idea what kind of danger they might encounter.

At that moment, all eyes turned to Ye Qingchen.

Clearly, after witnessing his battle with Blood Rain Tower, they already regarded Ye Qingchen as their backbone.

Ye Qingchen stood at the mouth of the cave, furrowing his brows deeply.

He could sense that the aura within the cave was even stronger than that of Lei Ao, whom he had encountered earlier. Yet, this aura seemed somewhat ephemeral, on the verge of dissipating...

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go in first to explore!"

After pondering for a moment, Ye Qingchen decided to venture inside and take a look.

Since he was here, how could he stop halfway?

At that moment, he stepped into the cave alone.

As he delved deeper, the light inside the cave grew dimmer, and everything around seemed pitch black. But with Ye Qingchen's mastery of the Nine Revolutions Star Technique, the darkness around him appeared like daylight.

However.

The more he walked, the more shocked Ye Qingchen became.

"Is this actually leading to the underground?"

He discovered.

The cave did not extend inward but led directly underground.

As if it had no end, reaching deep into the earth's core.

Not long after, the faint sound of flowing water unexpectedly reached his ears.

Ye Qingchen's eyes lit up, and he quickly quickened his pace forward.

Soon, he found himself in a vast open space. Before him lay a massive area, resembling an underground valley that seemed boundless.

"Is there such a place beneath Two Realms Mountain?"

Ye Qingchen examined his surroundings with amazement.

In this cavernous space, some peculiar flowers and plants grew, emitting a faint glow, allowing Ye Qingchen to take in everything within the underground valley.

"What is that?"

Suddenly.

Ye Qingchen's expression turned horrified.

He saw, lying in the cavern, a seven or eight-meter-long silver giant wolf, its body exuding an astonishing evil aura. This aura stemmed from a soul-crushing pressure that induced shivers and rendered one immobile.

"What kind of beast is this?"

Ye Qingchen's right hand clenched, and the Silver Dragon Sword was already in his grip, his face full of vigilance, ready to fend off any sudden attack.

Yet, after a long standoff.

The giant wolf remained lying on the ground, motionless.

Ye Qingchen quietly observed for a moment, then a hint of astonishment surfaced in his eyes, prompting him to walk over quickly.

"Indeed!"

It was revealed.

This giant wolf was already dead, yet its body was so powerful, its demonic aura hadn't dissipated, emitting such heaven-shocking evil Qi.

Just as Ye Qingchen was examining this giant wolf.

A sudden commotion arose from behind him.

He turned around and saw Hong Man, Jiang Churan, Feng Wan, and others, had already entered.

"Ye Qingchen, are you alright!" Jiang Churan asked worriedly, suddenly catching sight of the demon wolf, she exclaimed in shock, "Ye Qingchen, watch out for that demon wolf..."

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Almost simultaneously.

Everyone drew their weapons, their faces solemn.

"No need to worry, this demon wolf has been dead for quite some time!" Ye Qingchen waved a hand, signaling everyone to relax. "When I came in, it startled me too!"

Upon hearing Ye Qingchen's words, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, yet still regarded the demon wolf with eyes filled with suspicion.

Even a dead demon wolf could possess such a presence, imagining its strength and ferocity when alive!

"If I'm not mistaken, the source of the beast tide is due to this demon wolf..." Ye Qingchen pondered for a moment but couldn't understand why this demon wolf died here.

Moreover, he had examined this demon wolf earlier.

There wasn't even a scratch on its body.

"Is it?"

Feng Wan glanced at the demon wolf and suddenly exclaimed, her face extremely shocked.

Ye Qingchen quickly asked, "What, you know this demon wolf?"

Feng Wan nodded, "Indeed! I've heard from my ancestors that within Two Realms Mountain resides a silver-white Wolf God, which reached the Profound Pill Realm as long as three hundred years ago. I wasn't sure until I noticed the scar on its face."

Everyone followed her gaze.

And saw a long knife mark on the right eye of the demon wolf, almost running from its forehead to its snout, appearing very sinister.

Upon hearing Feng Wan's words, everyone grew progressively astonished.

This demon wolf achieved the Profound Pill Realm three hundred years ago?

How old could it be?

Feng Wan continued, "Perhaps, now I understand the cause of the beast tide! It seems the Wolf God knew its lifespan was coming to an end, but it was unwilling, wishing to break through the Profound Pill, forcibly extending its destiny. Its aura erupted in Two Realms Mountain, causing the beasts within the mountain to fear, desiring to flee this place..."

"Yet the Wolf God failed at the last moment, unable to break through, and ultimately perished here."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, finding this speculation reasonable.

Ye Qingchen also agreed.

But.

The more he observed this demon wolf, the more he felt regretful.

As they say, the path of cultivation is inherently about defying the heavens. A journey marked by blood and guided by bones, even such an ancient demon wolf refused to give up at its death, let alone himself?

With these thoughts, Ye Qingchen secretly clenched his fist.

No one was more pleased than Zhao Jing, now with the beast tide's source uncovered, wouldn't Yun Gu City be free from its threat in the future?

At that moment.

Everyone carried the demon wolf's body out of the cave.

"Farewell, until we meet again!"

Ye Qingchen cupped his hands towards Feng Wan and the others, turning towards Yun Gu City to leave.

"Until we meet again!"

Feng Wan also cupped her hands, standing there silently watching Ye Qingchen's distant figure for a long time without speaking.

How could the disciples of Youquan Sect not understand Feng Wan's thoughts?

"It seems that Sister Feng Wan has taken an interest in Young Master Ye!"

"Indeed, Sister Feng Wan is the daughter of a sect elder, and no one has heard of her having an interest in anyone before. But this time, her admiration for Ye Qingchen is evident!"

"You're right, Ye Qingchen is modest, with such strength, his future is limitless! If I were Sister Feng Wan, I'd also be attracted to Ye Qingchen!"

Everyone started discussing.

The expedition to Two Realms Mountain brought them too much shock.

Especially Ye Qingchen!

"Until we meet again!"

Feng Wan stood there until Ye Qingchen's figure completely disappeared from view before silently turning and leaving.
