Due to the knowledge of the potential existence of exceptionally powerful masters nearby.
When Chen Yun and Niu Dali set off again towards the deep and mysterious place, their actions were clearly much more cautious.
During their actions, Chen Yun was constantly pondering over who that expert might be.
This time, only ten immortals came to the Moon and Sun Spring Cavern, and one of them was killed by him in the process.
The remaining three people who might pose a threat to him are Yán Fēng, Jìng Chén Nun and Long Zhèn Tiān.
No, since he has cultivated the Essence Soul Image, Yan Feng can no longer pose a threat.
As for Jingchen Senior and Long Zhan Tian.
Chen Yun had not met them before.
The exact strength is unclear at the moment, and it's impossible to analyze whether there's any threat.
"As long as it's not Master Jingchen or Long Zhan Tian, I am confident of defeating any other immortal."
Chen Yun has a great deal of confidence in himself.
……
After a journey of one hour.
The two people are gradually getting closer to the deep and mysterious place.
Niu Dali's sprinting speed has slowed down significantly.
He lowered his voice and pointed towards the area where green light shone intermittently amidst the chaotic spiritual Qi, saying, "Master Chen, that's where the deep and mysterious place is ahead."
Chen Yun also slowed down his running speed and focused on looking towards the front.
It is an enormous "hole".
Because it is affected by the chaotic spiritual Qi currents.
Chen Yun cannot accurately determine the size of this "hole".
But from the estimation, it is at least thousands of square kilometers.
Within this enormous "hole," eerie green light constantly rises, as if indicating the presence of some treasure below.
Chen Yun can infer from the description of Leng Xia's Cold Murder Spirit.
These green lights are very likely the release of Leng Xia's Cold Murder Spirit.
That is to say, there indeed exists the Cold Murder Spirit in the deep and mysterious place.
As for whether there is Xuanming Immortal Sand, it is hard to tell from here.
Chen Yun hasn't seen any abnormal phenomena yet.
It's impossible to determine the outcome.
Chen Yun responds to Niu Dali, saying, "Let's wait for a while before we go in. I'll release my spiritual awareness to investigate first."
Niu Dali stopped moving, "Alright."
Chen Yun also stopped a mile away from the "hole."
Chen Yun tries his best to release his spiritual awareness and investigate the "hole."
Although the chaotic spiritual Qi is very powerful here, Chen Yun devotes his full effort and still manages to send a portion of his spiritual awareness into the "hole".
The next second, he observed the specific scenery of the deep and mysterious place.
This is a vertical shaft at least ten or so miles deep.
There are also some green liquids resembling blood on some stone walls.
It's estimated to be the spittle from a spirit beast that was killed by humans.
At the bottom of the cave, which can be observed, there are clusters of Cold Murder Spirits about the size of a group leader's head, emitting green light.
As for further away, Chen Yun's spiritual awareness is affected by the chaotic spiritual Qi and cannot be observed.
"It seems there are indeed Cold Murder Spirits!"
Chen Yun's heart was filled with secret joy.
Chen Yun thought to himself, "Judging from the condition of the deep and mysterious place, someone did indeed break in and kill the guardian spirit beasts along the way. However, this person did not take the Cold Murder Spirits that are scattered everywhere, which suggests they are not interested in it. So, if Niu Dali and I want to avoid trouble and unnecessary battles, we can simply take the Cold Murder Spirits and leave this place immediately."
He came to the Moon and Star Spring Cavern to search for various treasures, as well as the Heaven and Earth Essences, not to engage in battles with others. If possible, avoiding conflicts is certainly the best.
Chen Yun shared the information he had gathered with Niu Dali, as well as his own thoughts and ideas about the situation.
Upon hearing this, Niu Dali nodded and said, "The fact that the other party didn't take the Cold Murder Spirits suggests they may not be interested. After we collect the Cold Murder Spirits and leave immediately, we shouldn't attract any trouble... I'll go down to collect the Cold Murder Spirits, but you stay up here on guard. Be alert for anyone hiding in the shadows. Let's not get both of us into a situation where we're double-crossed."
Chen Yun thought it made sense and said, "Okay, be careful when you go down. If things go wrong, don't hesitate to escape immediately, regardless of whether it's the Cold Murder Spirits or not."
Niu Dali laughed and said, "Master Chen, rest assured. Old Niu won't act recklessly."
After the discussion was over, Chen Yun stayed above to keep watch.
Niu Dali, on the other hand, moved with great caution, making sure not to make a single sound as he leaped into the entrance of the deep and mysterious place.
To ensure their safety.
As Niu Dali descended, Chen Yun kept his spiritual awareness fully activated, observing the conditions inside the cave and around it.
Chen Yun saw Niu Dali move quickly, covering half the distance in just a few jumps.
Although there was no dangerous situation at the moment, Chen Yun still did not relax his alertness.
After a few more moments, Niu Dali finally reached the bottom of the cave, picked up three or four pieces of Cold Murder Spirit, and began his ascent back.
At this time, there was still no situation.
Chen Yun finally relaxed.
Not long after, Niu Dali jumped out of the cave.
He casually threw the three or four pieces of Cold Murder Spirit over his shoulder and said, "Is that enough? If not, I'll go get some more."
Chen Yun took them over and stored them in the space created by his Gu Tianzu technique, "That's enough. Let's leave this place."
"Enough is enough," Niu Dali smiled, "When I went down, I felt like someone was watching me in the shadows. I was a bit nervous at the time, but it turns out there was nothing after I got the things up here. It seems like I misinterpreted my senses."
Misinterpreting one's senses?
How could that be possible!
Niu Dali is an immortal fairy who has become an immortal.
His cultivation is still of the true Taoist methods of the Xuanmen.
His cultivation level is comparable to that of a mid-level Golden Pill True Immortal in the realm of people immortals.
How could he have misinterpreted his senses?
Chen Yun knew that he and Niu Dali had very likely been spotted by someone!
Niu Dali, who had a thick skin, hadn't thought much about it and walked up to say, "Master Chen, let's go somewhere else. Although this place might have Xuanming Immortal Sand, we are in the open while our enemies are in the shadows. To avoid conflicts, let's search elsewhere."
Chen Yun stood there motionless, his voice light, "It may be a bit late to think about leaving now."
Niu Dali's face changed, "What do you mean..."
Before Chen Yun could respond, a series of "Yi Ya Yi Ya" sounds, resembling a child's cry, began emanating from all around.
As soon as these eerie cries appeared, Niu Dali felt dizzy and it was as if his head was being pricked with needles.
"Yuanye Fu! It's Yuanye Fu!" Niu Dali, slightly frightened, turned his head and said, "Master Chen, be careful..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Chen Yun looking completely calm beside him, seemingly unaffected by the Yuanye Fu's haunting cries.
Chen Yun coldly snorted and released the power of his spiritual consciousness.
In the next moment, those "haunting cries" suddenly vanished.
This move seemed very ordinary, as if it was just a cold snort.
In reality, from Niu Dali's perspective, he saw a red glow spread out, as if it had shattered something all at once.
Without any doubt, it should have shattered the Yuanye Fu's haunting cries.
This made Niu Dali even more surprised, looking at the side with disbelief.
Although Yuanye Fu wasn't a particularly powerful spirit beast, they had the ability to attack people's spiritual bodies with their haunting cries, which most people at the level of mid-level Golden Pill True Immortals couldn't resist.
Only those who have cultivated their spiritual bodies into spiritual beings are able to ignore such attacks.
Now, with tens of thousands of Yuanye Fu releasing their haunting cries, they couldn't even shake Chen Yun, let alone be disrupted by his cold snort? Could it be that he broke through their magic cries with just a cold snort?
Could it be…
Niu Dali was greatly shaken in his heart.
"Master Chen, have you successfully reached the level of Earth Immortals?" Niu Dali asked with disbelief.
"No." Chen Yun's eyes looked towards the entrance of the deep and mysterious place and whispered, "Honorable guest, shooting from the shadows is not a man's style. If you're capable, come out and fight me face to face!"
Niu Dali knew that now was not the time for talking.
He quickly turned his gaze towards the entrance as well.
There was no response from the entrance.
It seemed as if there was no one inside at all.
Just as Niu Dali was about to say something else,
Just as Niu Dali was preparing to say something, suddenly, a swarm of countless black-winged bats the size of washbasins emerged from the cave mouth.
These bats rushed into the sky all at once, gathering together, covering all the light and making the surroundings pitch black and dense.
What made the situation even more eerie was that inside the massive "hole", something ominous seemed to be slowly rising.
Before the terrifying thing emerged, a huge shadow had already crawled out of the "hole", taking the shape of a phoenix shadow.
Niu Dali widened his eyes in disbelief and stammered, "How is it possible? How could a phoenix appear here?"
Unexpectedly, just as Niu Dali was about to speak, Chen Yun coldly snorted again and said, "Still pretending to be something? Come out!"
Suddenly, Niu Dali heard Chen Yun's stern voice in his ears.
Then, all he saw was a bright red light emanating from him, illuminating the entire world.
A boundless and immense idea began to spread.
In the next second, both the overwhelming swarm of bats and the massive shadow resembling a phoenix vanished.
The surroundings were still being swept by chaotic spiritual Qi, and the "hole" still seemed calm.
It was as if all that had just happened was an illusion.
If that were all, Niu Dali might have believed it was just a hallucination.
However, in the next moment, a sound of a woman's groan came from within the "hole".
Immediately afterward, a voice with a hoarse and sharp tone came from the "hole," "Little Taoist, you have some skill. You were able to break through my illusion, which means you must have cultivated your spiritual essence."
Upon hearing this voice, Niu Dali's face changed dramatically.
He had already somewhat figured out who was hiding there!
A very fearsome woman!
Fearsome enough that even Niu Dali's mid-level Golden Pill True Immortals was shaken in the heart!
As expected, the "hole" was illuminated by a series of radiant, colorful lights.
An woman with a human body and a snake tail, wearing colorful clothes, slowly rose!
Niu Dali was startled in color when he saw the woman's appearance and exclaimed, "It's you! Dragon Zhan Tian!"
That's right, the figure that emerged from the "hole" was none other than Long Zhan Tian, the person who might pose the greatest threat to Chen Yun within the Sun and Moon Lake Cave Realm!
As Chen Yun looked at Long Zhan Tian, the woman with a human body and a snake tail, in the colorful light, his face suddenly became heavy.
He had previously heard Yan Feng talk about this woman, knowing that she had the bloodline of Waohuang. Once awakened, she could unleash unimaginable power. The first time he encountered her, he didn't have the guarantee of victory.
