But it had just lain down for a moment when it suddenly shouted loudly, "Xiao... Yang Yan, come and have a look, quickly come and take a look."

As it shouted, the Void-Devouring Tiger leaped up as if fully revived, pointing its front paw toward the altar above.

Responding to the call, Yang Yan hurried over and looked in the direction the Void-Devouring Tiger was pointing, immediately overjoyed.

It wasn’t anything else but the Teleportation Array in the Yin Yang Five Elements Array Map!

Fortunately, having followed Elder Gudu for so many years, I’ve come across several Array Maps, or else I wouldn’t stand a chance of understanding even if I saw it.

However, the complexity of the current Array Map is beyond what I’ve ever seen; the person behind this must be extraordinary, making it even harder to decipher.

After quickly jotting down the Array Map, Yang Yan mustered all his spiritual power to activate the Teleportation Array.

Yet after trying for half a day, he found with some helplessness that he couldn’t activate the Teleportation Array no matter what.

Yang Yan couldn’t help but secretly sigh.

It seems that although the pills helped, the injuries within his body were severe, and his spiritual power had only recovered six to seven tenths, necessitating the help of the Void-Devouring Tiger!

So at Yang Yan’s request, the human and the tiger worked together tirelessly, and the formation finally showed a hint of loosening.

After several attempts, it was finally successful.

With a combined effort, they barely managed to activate the Teleportation Array, and Yang Yan was already drenched in sweat, while the Void-Devouring Tiger’s spirit body became somewhat unstable due to the extensive consumption of spiritual power.

However, getting out now was crucial; no matter what the cost, it was worth it.

At the moment the formation was activated, Yang Yan was the first to step into the array.

Boom!

Yang Yan felt a sudden blur in front of his eyes, and what entered his vision was a chaotic forest.

Obviously, after he and the Void-Devouring Tiger escaped from the Cold Flood Dragon, it hadn’t ceased its commotion!

After a moment, Yang Yan seemed to remember something and rode on Star Night, rushing towards the direction where Guo Guoguo and Lin Zimu were.

Upon seeing that there was no unusual situation in the direction of the cave, his tense heart slightly calmed down.

Guo Guoguo, who noticed Yang Yan’s return, quickly came to greet him, tears welling in her eyes, with a hint of worry in her gaze.

"Wang, you’re finally back. A flood dragon went crazy these past days, creating a mess in the entire Celestial Beast Forest. We thought something happened to you," Xiaocao came up one step ahead of Guo Guoguo, looking at Yang Yan with a worried expression and said.

Subsequently, Lin Zimu, Ye Changqing, and others who arrived were finally relieved upon seeing Yang Yan.

After understanding the general situation, everyone was taken aback.

However, Yang Yan didn’t mention the key he obtained.

He always felt that the key was unusual, the fewer people who knew, the better.

After so much trouble, it’s finally time for gains.

The previously collected loot had not yet been divided!

The purpose of this journey was treasure hunting, and there were indeed many good items this time.

From Ouyang Jinjie and Yu Ling’s Space Rings alone, two Human Tier superior-grade spiritual treasures, several Human Tier intermediate-grade spiritual treasures, and countless pills and artifacts were found.

Looking at the pile of treasures in front of them, everyone secretly clicked their tongues.

With Ouyang Jinjie and Yu Ling being the chief disciples of Yizheng Sect and Lingying Sect, such a background was naturally expected.

However, when truly piled together, the visual impact was so direct.

Having mid-tier superior-grade Star Night, Illusory Night, and Asura, Yang Yan wasn’t very interested in these items.

Moreover, his three treasures had great potential for enhancement.

If given the chance, it wouldn’t be impossible for them to finally evolve into Sacred Artifacts.

Aside from taking some raw stones, rare herbs, and essential pills, Yang Yan left the rest for the few remaining individuals.

Of course, the Dragon Lotus obtained in the Cold Pool was certainly not to be shared with others.

He was counting on using this opportunity to enhance his soul power, hoping to take his strength to the next level!

Having spent several days in the Demon Cave, he wasn’t sure how the other sects were doing, but he assumed they had gained substantially.

Yang Yan had thought about intercepting others midway, but it was only an idea.

He couldn’t afford to make more enemies for the sect.

Now that Yizheng Sect and Lingying Sect were thoroughly offended, but the situation was not yet unmanageable, everything could still be reconciled.

Although the Ancient Abyss Sect was now like the sun in mid-sky, hinting at becoming the leader of the ten sects, being too conspicuous might invite trouble, and it’s hard to tell how many sects were stirring behind the scenes.

If too many enemies are made, ultimately a pair of fists is no match for four hands, and perhaps the glory of the Ancient Abyss Sect would end.

The group, led by the Void-Devouring Tiger, proceeded with pauses, searching through many palaces.

But most had already been visited, and the gains were not significant.

With the Void-Devouring Tiger acting as a living map, exiting the Demon Cave became much easier, and soon they smoothly made their way out and reunited with Lin An and others.

It was only at this moment that Yang Yan realized, apart from those like Ouyang Jinjie and Yu Ling who turned to ashes, they were the last group to come out.

Upon learning that Lin Zimu and others were besieged by a joint force of Yizheng Sect and Lingying Sect, with the exception of those present, all other disciples were sacrificed, Lin An’s body overflowed with murderous intent.

He slowly looked toward Yizheng Sect and Lingying Sect, eyes full of killing intent.

This enmity was thus established.

He had secretly made up his mind that once things were settled here, he would resolve matters with the two sects.

After everyone slightly adjusted their emotions, they, along with the Pill Sect, prepared to leave.

At this moment, Sect Leader Wang Bingye of Yizheng Sect stepped forward and greeted, "Sect Leader Lin, Sect Leader of the Pill Sect, why is it that of so many of your disciples that entered the Demon Cave, only these few have returned? Have you seen Yizheng Sect and Lingying Sect’s disciples?"

Upon hearing this, the people of the Ancient Abyss Sect and the Pill Sect were filled with indignation.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Lin An responded with a smile on his face, "They have always been lazy, lacking strength, and met with misfortune in the Demon Cave. As for the whereabouts of your sect’s disciples, I’d have to ask my disciples."

The killing intent in Lin An’s eyes flashed briefly before he looked at Lin Zimu.

"As for Brother Ouyang, I did see him when we first entered the Demon Cave, but later we each pursued our opportunities and didn’t meet," Lin Zimu calmly narrated, secretly thinking that perhaps you’d never see them again in your life!

"We are truly pained by the incident your sect went through, and we hope Sect Leader Lin and Sect Leader of the Pill Sect can mourn and take care of yourselves. I shall not disturb you further, farewell."

Receiving this news, Wang Bingye couldn’t have been more delighted; seeing the flourishing Ancient Abyss Sect suffer such a loss was exactly what they wanted.

However, he was unaware that Ouyang Jinjie and others from Yizheng Sect who entered the Demon Cave had been completely annihilated.

After bidding farewell to Yizheng Sect, the Ancient Abyss Sect and the Pill Sect sought a place to settle their camp, made slight adjustments after leaving the Demon Cave, and waited for the arrival of other sects before setting off together.

At night, Yang Yan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time, recalling the thrilling experiences of these days!

However, the Demon Cave was a place he would return to sooner or later.

This place was far more than it appeared to be.

Nascent Void had not explicitly told Yang Yan everything inside, but through its words, one could infer a thing or two.
