Chapter 546: Chapter 545: Hidden Sanctuary, the Copper Bell Strikes Again

This is Ji Haoyuan’s innermost thoughts.

Within this Celestial Tomb, even someone like him could face danger at any moment.

Self-preservation is already difficult to guarantee, and if he were to also bring along Long Wu and the others, things would become extremely tricky should any unforeseen changes occur.

At this moment, Long Wu fully understood the intention behind Ji Haoyuan’s words.

Therefore, she no longer insisted.

After reminding Ji Haoyuan to be careful, she and the night moon spirit, Ye Anna, temporarily parted from him.

Some time later.

Ji Haoyuan first found a relatively secluded place to examine all of the storage magical treasures belonging to the few golden-winged youths.

It must be said, these fellows indeed have quite a few valuable items on them.

They are in no way inferior to the group that included Senior Brother Gu before.

The only difference was that he did not find the so-called Immortal’s hand bone among the storage magical treasures of the golden-winged youth.

But he did find a jade talisman engraved with numerous complex divine scripts from the opponent’s storage magical treasure.

With Ji Haoyuan’s discerning eye, he almost immediately recognized.

This jade talisman was used to break certain specific restrictions.

Moreover, its grade definitely exceeded the eighth tier.

It turned out to be an item at the Immortal level again.

This made him reflect.

Was what the opponent had been searching for in the secret place related to the jade talisman he possessed?

Thinking to this point, Ji Haoyuan no longer hesitated and immediately headed towards the secret place mentioned by Long Wu and the others.

Days later.

Ji Haoyuan appeared in a place resembling a canyon.

In this place, pale mist surged through the air.

The Divine Thought could not penetrate it at all.

Most importantly, as he approached this place, the jade talisman obtained from the golden-winged youth began emitting a faint heat.

It seemed to resonate dynamically with something in this place.

This instantly raised a hint of vigilance in his heart.

And also a bit of curiosity.

Behind that pale mist, what exactly exists there?

Should he take out the jade talisman and see if anything would change before him?

Despite these thoughts in his mind, after careful consideration, he decided not to take the risk.

Should he provoke something formidable that even he couldn’t handle, it would be courting disaster.

Just as he planned to temporarily leave, a voice suddenly came from behind the pale mist.

"Why have you come back?

Could it be that you’ve found what I want so quickly?"

The sudden words instantly startled Ji Haoyuan.

He never anticipated someone existing behind the pale mist.

What is the person’s identity, their origin?

From the tone, it seems they are acquainted with the group of golden-winged youth.

And perhaps they have even reached some form of cooperation.

Most crucially, what exactly is the thing that person mentioned? What is its use?

Ji Haoyuan’s thoughts raced in his mind.

After a brief moment.

He couldn’t help but tentatively speak.

"To be honest with you, Senior, I fortunately obtained the item ahead of time.

However, once I hand the item to you, Senior, will you honestly fulfill the agreement we made before?"

"What do you mean by that?

You don’t trust me?"

The voice from behind the pale mist clearly carried a hint of displeasure.

"In the past, I collaborated with your Divine Ruins many times, when have I ever breached an agreement?

The prerequisite being, your Divine Ruins must provide me with sufficient... Wait!

You’re not the person from before!

Dare to deceive me, who exactly are you?"

Boom!

At this moment, the previously calm pale mist suddenly began to violently churn.

A terrifying aura, not belonging to humans, nor to normal living creatures, erupted from behind the pale mist.

"Young one, how dare you deceive me, you have quite the courage!"

Ji Haoyuan was completely uncertain about where he had exposed himself.

At this point, worrying about that was evidently meaningless.

Because at this time, he clearly sensed an aura surpassing Mahayana level directly pouring towards him through the pale mist.

This made his heart sink instantaneously.

This was undeniably another entity surpassing Mahayana level.

Indeed, how many such beings has that Divine Ruins formed an alliance with.

Or how deep is their background in this regard?

With no time to ponder further, Ji Haoyuan rapidly retreated.

Simultaneously, an exceptionally radiant golden glow erupted around him.

Unbeknownst to him, a broken bronze bell had already appeared in his grasp.

Dong!

As the melodious sound of the bell reverberated.

An invisible sound wave suddenly spread.

The terrifying aura reaching close to him emitted a horrific scream in an instant.

Then, the aura shattered completely.

A shocked voice suddenly came from behind the pale mist.

"Young one, what exactly is that thing in your hand? To be able to shatter a strand of my aura?"

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan had no intention of answering his question.

He swiftly retreated to a safe distance, squinting as he scrutinized the place again intently.

In a flash, his pupils contracted.

Because he suddenly discovered that in this brief moment, numerous bug-like critters appeared above the pale mist.

They were clearly restrained by some rule of that place, unable to truly escape the range of the pale mist.

But they slowly formed a grotesque human face on the pale mist.

The face opened its mouth and let out an angry roar.

"Young one, you’re despicable!

When I escape, I will completely annihilate your clan!"

Buzz!

As the roar continued, the bug-like creatures emitted layers of soundwave-like ripples.

Layer upon layer, they surged toward Ji Haoyuan.

Ji Haoyuan’s expression turned grim.

The opponent was so savage; it’s evident they’re no benevolent being.

Especially with the previous threat of annihilating his entire clan, it ignited a wave of anger within his chest.

Did you think just having some ability would let you do whatever you wanted?

At this moment, he decided to hold nothing back.

The Pure Sun Golden Body Art was channeled to its limit by him.

In an instant, the bronze bell in his hand burst forth with dazzling flames.

Dong!

The bronze bell was flung out directly.

A terrifying spectacle unfolded.

Throughout the space, numerous rules shattered and twisted.

The void was collapsing rapidly, like a fragile mirror cracking.

Eventually.

It smashed through all the ripples surging towards Ji Haoyuan.

A puff echoed.

Along with all the critters on the pale mist, it instantly shattered into the tiniest particles of dust.
