        "Second layer, opened?"

    Under a lake, a dragon danced, breaking through the lake water and landing on the shore, gazing at the golden light emanating from the sky. In his eyes, a touch of gravity appeared all of a sudden.

    Although she had just entered, her imperial sword had immediately sensed the existence of the Long family's bloodline. However, after a thorough investigation, she had yet to find anyone.

    Therefore, she can determine that the Long family's bloodline must be among the second and third.

    ChenMo had said that the second and third floors would be opened in three days, so she entered the lake early according to ChenMo's request, soaking in the heart-protecting liquid.

    The Imperial Sword trembled again, emitting a faint sword hum. Long Fei Wu looked up at the sky and saw countless figures swarm upwards like a bee swarm from the horizon.

    Long Fei Wu's eyes slightly narrowed, he raised his head to glance at the sky, and then didn't wait any longer. He stepped on the void, followed the crowd into the second layer.

    The world of the second layer, compared to the first layer, didn't have much change. However, it was less about lakes and such scenery.

    Long Fei Wu had no taste for appreciating other scenery. She distanced herself from the excited crowd and flew alone in the direction indicated by the Imperial Sword.

    However, as she went deeper, Long Fei Wu's face became increasingly grave.

    This direction, ChenMo had mentioned before, it seems to be the direction of... the immortal treasure.

    "Could it be that the King of Jin has come here to find the immortal treasure? If so, it will be troublesome. I heard from ChenMo that the immortal treasure is very strong... if he were to obtain it..."

    Long Fei Wu's expression turned serious, and her eyes held more solemnity.

    She had deliberately avoided many skilled individuals and acted alone on this trip. If the King of Jin or his descendants were on the side of the immortal treasure, her journey there would undoubtedly be more perilous.

    Long Fei Wu pondered for a moment, unsure whether to continue forward. Suddenly, her Imperial Sword trembled violently, and the sword hum was as loud as thunder, as if it had discovered a terrifying existence.

    “How could…”

    Long Fei Wu raised an eyebrow. She had only slightly moved before, why would she suddenly become so excited? Could it be...

    Before Long Fei Wu could even figure it out, a figure suddenly rushed towards her side, like an arrow released from a bow.

    Seeing this, Long Fei Wu hastily avoided the figure. The latter landed heavily on a hill in the distance, a disheveled figure lying in a pool of blood, with eyes filled with terror.

    Long Fei Wu's eyes widened as she looked at the figure's features, her expression freezing in shock, "Prince Ning?".

    "Pu"

    The Prince Ning who was heavily injured and fell on the ground coughed up a mouthful of blood mist, his eyes red and filled with terror.

    As Long Fei Wu's voice came, he could not help but be taken aback, and then a smile appeared on his face. "Long Feiwu, I didn't expect you to come too. Ah, it seems you've also sensed..."

    Long Fei Wu coldly looked at Prince Ning and said, "Ha, Prince Ning, you are quite cunning. Three hundred years ago, you failed to usurp the throne and instead pretended to be dead, secretly planning for three hundred years, just to deal with me."

    "If it weren't for me finding out that you wanted to use King Jin's hand to deal with me, I wouldn't have known about your means. However, seeing your current situation, it seems your plan didn't work"

    Long Fei Wu sneered and looked at the disheveled Prince Ning with a slight smile on her face.

    Long Fei Wu could sense that, although the Prince Ning still had the strength to speak with her, his vitality was growing weaker and weaker. If he didn't receive treatment promptly, his life might be in danger.

    "Pu"

    The Prince Ning's chest tightened, and he coughed up another mouthful of blood. "I admit that I made a mistake. I never thought that the damned King Jin would attack me."

    "Foolish."

    Long Fei Wu snorted in disdain, "King Jin would not have given up the throne to you if he had the strength to defeat me and overthrow my dynasty. Prince Ning, you are too naive and foolish."

    "You, Long Fei Wu, are the foolish one."

    In the face of Long Fei Wu's mockery, Prince Ning not only wasn't angry, but a smile appeared on his face. "King Jin's strength has already transcended ordinary beings. Do you think he will care about this small throne of the Dragon and Heaven Dynasty? Naive."

    "If he doesn't care about the throne, then why are you in such a pitiful state today?"

    Long Fei Wu asked counterclockwise.

    Prince Ning's smile increased instead of decreasing, "Because he hates me... more accurately, he hates people of our lineage. Long Fei Wu, not only me but you as well will suffer."

    "Haha, if you had ignored everything and stayed in the empire, I would have died, and you would have remained on your throne. But unfortunately, you are too suspicious. Today, both of us will die here."

    "Hahaha, Long Fei Wu, you killed my son. It's fortunate that I can drag you along with me today and not waste my life."

    Prince Ning laughed aloud.

    Suddenly, a burst of sword qi flew, piercing through Prince Ning's body instantly.

    In the next moment, a figure appeared like a ghostly phantom.

    He wore a black and gold python robe and held a three-foot-long sword with black and red stripes. His eyes glowed red, and his gaze was full of murderous intent.

    When he saw that Prince Ning had lost his breath, he raised his sword and chopped off his head. Then, as if sensing something, his gaze fell on the Imperial Sword in Long Fei Wu's hand.

    "You... you are..."

    The approaching man's pressure was overwhelming. In just a moment, Long Fei Wu could sense that she was no match for the man in front of her.

    However, what scared her most was not the man himself, but the sword in his hand.

    The sword with black and red stripes, faintly emitting a terrifying aura, just by looking at it was like staring into the abyss...

    The appearance of the second floor attracted everyone's attention, and everyone began to rush into the second floor from the first floor.

    ChenMo and his three companions also entered the second layer at this moment.

    The original four members were to be five, but because of the appearance of Shangguan Tianhong, Li Wu Xin was dispersed. However, it doesn't matter. Their goals are the same, as long as they can enter the second layer, they can search for the same immortal treasure and reunite.

    "Big brother, we are on this trip to seek the Fanyue Sword, but according to what you said, the Fanyue Sword doesn't seem to be anything good. If we get our hands on it, won't that be..."

    Xiao Dou Ding frowned slightly, her heart filled with some worry.

    ChenMo smiled and said, "Yes, the Fanyue Sword, as its name suggests, is a real demon sword. It can enchant people's hearts. If someone has an undetermined willpower, they will certainly be controlled and then become its servant."

    "Even for those with strong willpower, if they use it for a long time, they will be affected by it and risk becoming possessed..."

    "Then why do we still want to search for such an evil object?"

    Xiao Dou Ding was confused.

    ChenMo explained, "The Fanyue Sword is a demon sword, but precisely because of that, it has strong offensive power. As long as it is used properly and its original power is unleashed, even I can easily kill a first-rank cultivator."

    Seeing the expression on Xiao Dou Ding's face, ChenMo quickly added, "Don't worry, I will definitely have measures in place to prevent it from affecting me. Plus, I have prepared to obtain it long before we came here."

    "Brother, do you mean..."

    "Do you remember the elixir that Gu Shan prepared for us when we first arrived in Zhongzhou?"

    "Are you saying those two elixirs? I remember, one is the Break Misfortune Elixir, and the other one is..."

    On their way back from Miao State to Yin State, they had passed through Zhongzhou. ChenMo took two elixirs from Gu Shan on his way and handed them to Xiao Dou Ding. At that time, Xiao Dou Ding was curious about the second elixir other than the Break Misfortune Elixir.

    "It's the Seal Demon Elixir, which is an elixir that can seal the demon nature within me and prevent me from being possessed."

    The Seal Demon Elixir was originally for ChenMo to counter the backlash of his own sword technique, but it can also be used to counter the influence of the Seal Demon Sword.

    Xiao Dou Ding suddenly realized and exclaimed that ChenMo had foresight.

    ChenMo smiled as he was speaking when suddenly, Zhao Hu, who was walking behind, stopped and the ancient broadsword on his back was suddenly withdrawn.

    ChenMo and Xiao Dou Ding immediately became vigilant, their eyes narrowed as they stared intently at the front. Suddenly, a person in black clothes blocked their path.

    It was Zhou Zhou, the same person who had once blocked their path.
