It was a dark passageway, seemingly leading to a natural dungeon at its deep end.

Sass sat weakly on the ground, his eyes vacant as he stared at the depths of the cave, repeatedly muttering:

"It's here, it's here, it's here..."

Indeed, although there was no trace of the Dusk Race here, there were evident signs of their activities.

For example, beneath the stone wall, there were some crooked inscriptions!

Although deliberately erased by some force, fragments remained.

Clearly, Sass recognized them at a glance.

Undoubtedly, the tribe members of the Dusk Race had been secretly transferred once again.

The perplexing thing for Yang Yan was that so many people left right in front of him, yet he didn't notice a thing.

How did Manhattan do it?

While he was pondering this deeply, Fu Changjian suddenly walked over and took him to a rather special place.

This was a Teleportation Array located above the Underground Palace, beneath the iceberg.

Sass followed last and instantly recognized the origins of this thing.

"A broken Teleportation Array left by the Demon Lord from Ancient Times! There's actually one here, and it's been repaired by Manhattan!"

Yang Yan suddenly found Sass's old face somewhat endearing and asked in a deep voice:

"So, is there another identical, intact Teleportation Array somewhere else?"

Sass listened and nodded firmly:

"Yes! My tribe members of the Dusk Race must have been teleported to another place by this Teleportation Array!"

Yang Yan looked at the nine slots surrounding the Teleportation Array and fell into deep thought.

Then he pointed at the nine slots and asked Sass:

"Do you know what these are for? I think this Teleportation Array also needs energy to activate, right?"

Sass gazed at the slots, his face full of recollection:

"These slots, in Ancient Times, required Blood Crystals to activate. Now... those Blood Pills will do!"

"Blood Pills?"

Yang Yan was startled upon hearing this and took out a Blood Pill he had just seized from Manhattan, asking suspiciously:

"Is it this thing?"

"Yes! That's it."

Sass nodded again.

"I only have two and a half, and Ao Tian has one, that's three and a half, which is still not enough..."

Yang Yan thought very simply.

You want to teleport, right?

This Teleportation Array is not broken either, so why don't I just use it to teleport over and find the people?

Just afraid that Manhattan would be too cautious and directly destroy the Teleportation Array over there.

After listening, Sass carefully touched some slots and then signaled Yang Yan to hand him the Blood Pill.

Yang Yan did not mind and directly threw the Blood Pill over.

Sass caught it and placed the Blood Pill on the slot.

Buzz...

Accompanied by a slight tremor, the slot emitted a dazzling red light.

The touch of eerie red glow appeared exceptionally enchanting in the surrounding darkness.

"Give me that half."

Sass clearly remembered that Yang Yan had seized the half Blood Pill that Nine Netherworld Demon Monarch had not yet absorbed.

Yang Yan did not hesitate, retrieved it, and accurately threw it on the slot.

Surprisingly, that slot also emitted a crimson red glow.

Just slightly dimmer.

"It works!"

Sass excitedly nodded again and raised five fingers.

"Only need five... No! Four and a half is enough! I need four and a half Blood Pills!"

At this point, Sass eagerly looked at Yang Yan.

If anyone could provide them, it would be Yang Yan.

Yang Yan smiled helplessly:

"I only have two and a half, Ao Tian has one, still missing one."

Sass's face instantly showed full disappointment.

Seeing him like this, Yang Yan suddenly burst into laughter:

"But I know there are many sacrificial sites and bases of Manhattan here, I don't believe we can't find one out."

Sass raised his head suddenly, full of anticipation, and said:

"Really? That would be great!"

His voice trembled noticeably, his hands subconsciously gripping Yang Yan's arm.

"Stop, stop, stop! We still have to meet up with Ao Tian first, let's not rush."

Yang Yan saw Sass already about to offer himself, quickly pushed him away.

While speaking, Yang Yan began trying to communicate with Ao Tian.

Prior to this, the two had left soul marks on each other to facilitate communication.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, he found nothing.

He felt an invisible barrier blocking between him and Ao Tian, completely unable to contact each other.

"What on earth is going on? Wasn't the barrier here already broken? Why can't we still communicate..."

Yang Yan muttered to himself.

However, after trying several times, it seemed not to be the case.

Yang Yan couldn't help but frown.

"King, what's wrong?"

Fu Changjian guessed that something must have happened from Yang Yan's expression.

"I don't know, can't reach him."

Yang Yan shook his head and said.

"Nothing happened to the Ice Emperor, right?"

Gongsun Ruyan said with some concern.

"Impossible!"

Yang Yan immediately shook his head:

"Even if something happens, with Ao Tian's strength, it's impossible to not have time to send me a message. Unless..."

Yang Yan glanced at the few people in front of him, cautiously saying:

"Unless Ao Tian mistakenly entered somewhere, causing him to be trapped."

"There must be something that isolates Divine Sense there, so Ao Tian can't send a message out, and I can't contact him through the soul mark." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"This..."

Gongsun Ruyan lightly shook her head, remained silent.

"Can we first find those bases of Manhattan? First collect enough Blood Pills and save our Clan Leader and elders from the Dusk Race!"

Sass looked at Yang Yan eagerly and said.

"What do you think?"

Yang Yan put his hands in his pockets, said with a smile:

"The Dusk Race has been a great help to me, but frankly, the entire Dusk Race doesn't weigh as much in my heart as the Ice Emperor Ao Tian does."

"Moonlight, you..."

Sass was quite dissatisfied, but finally compromised and said:

"Isn't he very strong? Surely nothing will happen."

"I promise you, as long as you can rescue the Clan Leader, I will definitely persuade him to lead the Dusk Race to join you!"

Already taking the Dusk Race as something in his pocket, Yang Yan shrugged:

"No matter what, I have to find Ao Tian first."

"Moreover, he has a Blood Pill too, same objective as us finding a base. Isn't that right?"

Sass was momentarily speechless.

Of course, Blood Pills must be collected!

Therefore, Ao Tian must be found.

To prevent the great array from being destroyed by Manhattan when he returns, Yang Yan specifically set up a protective measure outside the array.

Moreover, if Manhattan triggers it, he can be informed immediately.

In his view, this Teleportation Array certainly would transport over a long distance.

Manhattan was taken away by Sand King, not teleported.

As long as Yang Yan was fast enough, after finding Ao Tian and gathering the Blood Pills.

Regardless of whether Manhattan intends to destroy the other Teleportation Array, Yang Yan can arrive there first, and rescue the Dusk Race.
