"Let's go!"

After arranging everything, Yang Yan immediately led everyone to the place where they had previously parted ways with Ao Tian.

They followed in the direction Ao Tian had set off to search.

In Yang Yan's view, Ao Tian wouldn't have deviated from the direction for no reason.

If that were the case, looking for Ao Tian in the vast Arctic would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

The group of five, including the cumbersome Elder Sass, headed directly in the direction of Ao Tian's exploration.

Sass's stamina and speed were the worst among them, so ultimately, Yang Yan carried him while flying.

Along the way, everyone searched continuously, stopping only briefly for rest, and hardly paused at all.

Under their frenetic search, about three hours later, they finally found a particular location on their path forward.

In the ice-covered Arctic, Yang Yan discovered a stone mountain with no snow or ice!

The stone mountain was made up of various giant rocks.

Not only the stone mountain, but even the area around it was devoid of any ice or snow.

It seemed as if this place was in isolation and completely different from the surroundings!

"My King, this place is very unusual,"

Gongsun Ruyan pointed at the barren stone mountain and said.

This stone mountain wouldn't draw any attention in any city outside.

Yet here, with its peculiar appearance, it was hard not to notice.

"Can you sense anything?"

Yang Yan suddenly asked Sass.

"Me? I didn't sense the Clan Leader and them."

Sass shook his head in confusion.

"Who told you to sense the Clan Leader! I was asking if you sensed anything else?"

Yang Yan said exasperatedly.

The reason he asked was because, during the search, he discovered Sass could actually perceive the presence of certain special energies.

For instance, Demonic Qi.

And this mountain was indeed very strange.

Yang Yan's Divine Sense was unable to probe into the specific circumstances.

His Divine Sense could only cover the surface and couldn't penetrate even a millimeter.

Sass concentrated for a while, then shook his head helplessly and said:

"I can't sense anything. But I know there's something terrifying inside."

"You can't sense anything yet you know it's terrifying inside?"

Yang Yan almost turned around to give Sass a thump on the head.

Sass awkwardly said:

"I don't know! It's just... just a sense of foreboding."

He subconsciously glanced at Yang Yan.

This person in front of him, with their talent, could rival the Ancient Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors; if even he couldn't do anything, it was likely hopeless.

"Got it."

Yang Yan sighed helplessly, it was a wasted question.

"Ruyan, you're up."

Yang Yan turned his head and instructed Gongsun Ruyan.

"Yes!"

Receiving the order, Gongsun Ruyan suddenly had a silver longsword in her hand.

The next moment, she shot toward the stone mountain like a cannonball.

The imagined earth-shaking Celestial Thunder didn't occur.

The reality was...

Gongsun Ruyan vanished!

She transformed into a streak of silver and rushed into the stone mountain.

Yes!

Rushed straight in!

Then disappeared without a trace; her aura and power fluctuations were all cut off.

"Damn! How dare you touch my woman!"

Seeing the stone mountain swallow up Gongsun Ruyan, Yang Yan couldn't sit still.

His eyes flashed fiercely as Star Night appeared, gleaming in his hand.

Zhuge Wushuang blushed upon hearing Yang Yan's words.

Fu Changjian, on the other hand, gave a knowing smile.

If Gongsun Ruyan was Yang Yan's woman, then wouldn't Zhuge Wushuang and the absent Mu Qingcheng be as well?

Prior to this, Yang Yan had always avoided discussing their relationships.

Whenever the three women tried to get to the bottom, he would either sidestep the topic or slip away quickly.

Though her heart seemed filled with honey, Zhuge Wushuang quickly recovered from her surprise and immediately stopped Yang Yan.

"My King, we don't know what danger lies inside, let me try first!"

Yang Yan glanced back at her, shook his head, and said:

"Wushuang, and Longsword, listen carefully! I now command you as Four Emperors Moonlight."

"If I go in, no matter what happens, you must not follow. Stay here and protect Sass, understood?"

Fu Changjian and Zhuge Wushuang exchanged glances, then nodded and replied in unison:

"Understood, my King!"

"Good!"

Yang Yan nodded in satisfaction, his leadership over his women...

Bah!

His ability to guide his subordinates was quite effective!

"Moonlight, wait a moment."

At this point, Sass suddenly stood out and called out.

"What is it? You don't intend to come with me, do you?"

Yang Yan frowned slightly.

However, what Sass said nearly made him cough up blood.

"Moonlight, what if you get trapped inside and can't come out? Do we just wait here for you?"

The most critical part was that Sass's expression was quite serious, as if it were a matter of course.

Yang Yan rolled his eyes and already charged towards the stone mountain.

"Wait for ten days; if I don't return, you all should leave!"

Pop!

After wielding Star Night and charging forward, just like with Gongsun Ruyan, his body rushed straight into the stone mountain.

Once inside, the scene before Yang Yan immediately changed.

He had no time to admire it and hurriedly looked around, but he couldn't find Gongsun Ruyan's figure.

Only then did he start observing the surroundings.

Above were numerous massive stone chambers; beneath his feet was a solid stone platform.

The surroundings were pitch-black as ink, with no light at all.

Even with his strength, he could only barely see ten meters around him by focusing his eyes.

"Why is there such dense Demonic Qi here? And that old guy said he couldn't sense it?"

Yang Yan suddenly realized that what obstructed his vision was indeed the overwhelming and terrifying Demonic Qi!

Could Ao Tian have accidentally stumbled into this Demon Cave?

For a moment, Yang Yan was both shocked and delighted.

Yang Yan's guess was not wrong at all.

The three of them hadn't just reached the Demon Cave; they reached the most elite kind.

"Was it random entry?"

Yang Yan murmured to himself softly.

Then he composed himself, scanned the surroundings once more, and still didn't see Gongsun Ruyan.

Here, the potent role of his Divine Sense had disappeared, only slightly better than sight.

Even with all his might, he could only probe around thirty meters away with Divine Sense.

Beyond that, everything was blocked by thick Demonic Qi that he couldn't penetrate further.

This damned place was full of strangeness!

Might as well use force to break it, smashing it away!

As soon as the thought occurred, Yang Yan hesitated no more and prepared to act.
