Lin Ranyue looked at Su Ji's eager expression, clearly ready to follow them, and for a moment, she did not know what to say.
She opened her mouth, but ultimately swallowed her words of dissuasion.
Forget it.
Good advice cannot persuade a ghost seeking death.
As for following him to watch the fun?
Did she think her life was too long?
She solemnly clasped her fist toward Su Ji.
"Sect Master Su, words cannot express my gratitude for your great favor."
"This is not a place to stay for long. I must also find the exit as soon as possible and return to the Holy Land."
"I, Lin Ranyue, will remember what happened today. If you ever need my assistance in the future, I will not refuse."
After she finished speaking, she hesitated no longer. She turned around and swept toward another passage, her figure quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Su Ji watched her retreating back and shrugged.
He concealed his entire aura, suppressing even the scorching dragon might emanating from his new spear, Fallen Dragon, making it as unremarkable as his Chanting Wind Sword.
Then, his figure flickered as he silently trailed behind the group from the Kuitian Holy Land.
...
On the other side.
Third Elder Tang and his group stopped after getting far away from the lake.
"Second Elder, are we really going to let that brat off just like that?"
Someone finally could not help but speak up, their face full of reluctance.
"Let him off?"
The charming look on the Second Elder's face had long vanished, replaced by a chilling grimness as she let out a cold sneer.
"Do you really think he can safely keep those things in his pockets?"
Third Elder Tang had also regained his calm. Cold light flickered in his gloomy eyes. "That is right. That brat is bizarre in every aspect. To be able to force back the Great Elder with only a Foundation Establishment cultivation base, he is definitely no ordinary person."
"He either relied on some special destiny that allows him to erupt with terrifying combat power for a short period, or he harbors a massive secret."
"Let us handle our main business first. Once we find that true dragon, we can come back and slowly deal with him."
"When the time comes, however much he ate, I will make him spit it out a hundred or a thousand times over!"
The Second Elder nodded. She closed her eyes and her hands quickly formed incantation seals, seemingly sensing something.
A moment later, she abruptly opened her eyes and pointed in a direction.
"Over there!"
The group did not hesitate anymore. They transformed into streaks of flowing light, speeding toward the direction the Second Elder pointed.
Su Ji trailed them from a distance. Seeing the group expertly navigate the complex underground passages, he became even more certain of his guess.
These guys indeed had ulterior motives.
They seemed to be searching for something, and with a clear target, unlike headless flies running around blindly.
Su Ji was in no rush, patiently following along.
About an hour passed.
The group from the Kuitian Holy Land stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary rock wall.
"I have calculated all the coordinates."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the entrance is right here."
The Second Elder's voice carried a hint of irrepressible excitement.
She took out a palm-sized, quaint array compass from her robes. After the needle on the compass spun wildly for a few circles, it finally pointed dead ahead at the rock wall.
"The space here is extremely unstable. That minor world is hidden behind this distorted spatial node."
As she spoke, she waved her hand. Dozens of array flags of various colors shot out, accurately planting themselves into the surrounding ground, faintly forming a profound and mysterious formation.
Immediately after, she took out pieces of top-grade spirit stones and embedded them into the various nodes of the formation as if they cost nothing.
Third Elder Tang and the others consciously spread out, protecting her in the center. With guarded expressions, they vigilantly scanned their surroundings.
The Second Elder took a deep breath. Her hands formed a complicated hand seal, and she muttered words, spitting out obscure and difficult-to-understand syllables.
As her chanting sounded, the dozens of array flags fluttered without wind, emitting a brilliant light.
The top-grade spirit stones on the ground visibly dimmed at a rapid pace as their majestic spiritual energy was entirely absorbed by the formation.
Buzz.
A soft sound echoed.
The rock wall ahead actually rippled like water.
Then, under everyone's tense gazes.
A pitch-black spatial rift, just wide enough for one person to pass through, appeared out of thin air.
A vast, ancient, yet extremely weak aura slowly seeped out from the rift.
Found it!
Uncontrollable ecstasy simultaneously surfaced on the faces of Third Elder Tang and the Second Elder.
This aura completely matched the aura of the heart as dead as ashes true dragon described in Third Elder Tang's divination!
They exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, dashed into the rift one after another.
The other disciples followed closely behind, afraid of falling a single step behind.
When the figure of the last disciple disappeared, the spatial rift began to flicker violently, looking as if it was going to slowly heal and close.
Right at the final split second before the rift completely shut.
Su Ji's figure, silent and traceless, plunged headfirst into it.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic.

Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
