The Yin Yang Qiankun Array has been broken, and Xu Nian’s crisis is temporarily resolved.

Xu Nian no longer stayed in place and continued to walk forward.

However, before long, Xu Nian saw a corpse. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

This made Xu Nian’s brows instantly knit together.

Because the owner of this corpse was none other than the guy who followed Mu Yuqing into this Asura Forest.

Xu Nian had previously investigated this guy’s cultivation, which was at the Nether Emperor Peak level.

At this moment, his soul body was gradually dissipating.

Clearly, he had just died not long ago.

Xu Nian checked the cause of death and found that the opposite party had been instantly annihilated, his entire soul origin wiped out, which was why there was such a peaceful expression on the deceased’s face without a trace of pain.

What kind of attack could instantly kill a Nether Emperor Peak level powerhouse?

Of course, the Nether Emperor Peak level powerhouse’s cultivation and soul power were sealed here, significantly reducing their strength.

After all, relying only on the power of law, they would at best have the strength of a Netherworld Venerate level.

"Hmm, they are there." Xu Nian was suddenly attracted by two figures ahead.

These two figures were from the Mo Yang Sword Academy.

Mu Yuqing looked stunning with her extraordinary elegance, her demeanor cold, her graceful figure impeccable, and her curves exaggerated.

Especially those long, straight legs, smooth and straight, like a poison of the mortal world.

Her phoenix eyes carried a high and cold demeanor, and because she had stepped into the divine-level, she exuded a lofty divine power that made one involuntarily want to submit.

No doubt, Mu Yuqing was truly an extraordinary beauty.

Beside her was a young man.

His face like jade, remarkably handsome.

This young man was at the Nether Emperor Perfection level, and his eyes filled with admiration when looking at Mu Yuqing.

Clearly, he was a seeker of Mu Yuqing.

No, to be precise, an admirer of Mu Yuqing.

At this moment, the two were standing before a massive stele.

There were two words engraved on this stele: Hell!

These words were vigorous and powerful, with a chilling sword aura. Just a glance made Xu Nian’s whole body shiver, feeling a creeping dread.

In that instant, Xu Nian felt as if facing endless mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, filling him with despair and fear.

"What terrifying words," Xu Nian muttered to himself.

He had a feeling that the person who engraved these words must be immensely powerful.

"Since you’re here, why not come out?"

However, just as Xu Nian was shaken by the Hell Stele, Mu Yuqing suddenly looked in Xu Nian’s direction and spoke.

Xu Nian froze.

Discovered?

Such strong perception.

He had clearly deliberately concealed his aura, without causing any space fluctuations or sound of the wind. How was he discovered?

But since he had been discovered, Xu Nian no longer needed to hide.

"Whoosh!"

Xu Nian directly revealed himself and walked out.

"It’s you!" Mu Yuqing exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Xu Nian appear.

Evidently, she had already recognized him as the young man she had glimpsed at the Asura Forest entrance.

The reason she had noticed this young man was that Mu Yuqing sensed a familiar aura on him.

This aura was faint, making her initially think it was an illusion.

But the moment Xu Nian stepped out, that peculiar feeling reappeared.

This left Mu Yuqing quite puzzled.

As for the young man following Mu Yuqing, he looked on with an unfriendly gaze.

"Who are you and why are you following us?" the young man immediately shouted, his tone carrying an air of superiority.

"I’m not following you. I’m just coincidentally entering this Asura Forest too," Xu Nian replied calmly.

"Nonsense, you’re clearly stalking us, or how else would you be here when we entered the Asura Forest?" The young man immediately retorted.

Xu Nian was momentarily speechless.

Does he need timing to enter the Asura Forest?

They suddenly appeared, and now they blame him for following them.

What reason does he have to follow them?

He looked at Mu Yuqing, finding that she was expressionlessly watching him, seemingly uninterested in the impropriety of her companion’s words.

This left Xu Nian a bit helpless.

"I’m not following you, if you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do," Xu Nian said calmly.

He was lazy to offer any explanations.

He had already realized that this young man suspected him of having designs on Mu Yuqing, hence the hostility.

Laughable, would he truly enter such a perilous place for a woman?

"Hmph, you’re just refusing to face facts, so you claim not to be following Junior Sister Yuqing," the young man scoffed.

His eyes were filled with disdain.

Xu Nian was utterly speechless.

Does this young man’s mind only contain thoughts of women?

Mu Yuqing was indeed beautiful, but not to the extent of mesmerizing him.

Xu Nian ignored the young man and walked towards the Hell Stele.

The closer he got to the stele, the more he felt the terrifying aura contained in the two characters on the stele.

This aura shot straight to his skull, sending a chill down his spine.

"These two characters were personally engraved by the Netherworld Lord, and this stele is called the Hell Boundary Stele!"

At this moment, Mu Yuqing’s cold yet pleasant voice sounded.

Xu Nian couldn’t help but glance at Mu Yuqing with surprise.

She looked at him calmly, but her eyes seemed to hold a hint of curiosity.

Xu Nian was somewhat surprised by Mu Yuqing’s words.

A stele personally engraved by the Netherworld Lord?

Could this place be related to the Netherworld Lord?

If that’s true, then he’s come to the right place.

"What is your name?" Mu Yuqing asked again.

Xu Nian was taken aback.

Evidently not expecting Mu Yuqing to ask such a question.

As Mu Yuqing asked, the young man beside her also showed an expression of extreme shock.

Mu Yuqing actually asked this young man for his name?

It’s known that in the Mo Yang Sword Academy, Mu Yuqing is a lofty, cold-as-ice goddess.

Countless geniuses pursued her, only to be ruthlessly rejected.

She had scarcely glanced at any man.

Yet, she’s now asking Xu Nian for his name?

It couldn’t help but surprise him.

For a moment, his look at Xu Nian was filled with endless jealousy.

"My name is Xu Fenn!" Xu Nian responded.

"Xu Fenn? A calm breeze arrives, a good name!" Mu Yuqing complimented.

The young man was even more astonished.

Mu Yuqing actually complimented a man?

If the talents from Mo Yang Sword Academy or Qing State knew, they would probably go crazy!

Xu Nian was also a bit taken aback. He didn’t expect Mu Yuqing to be so friendly towards him?
