The previous guidance was simply pushing him into the tiger’s mouth!
When did he ever offend a Female Cultivator...
Could it be that the one on the other side of the Jade Pendant is a Demon Cultivator from the Emotion Crossing Sect?
"Continue, head towards the deepest point of the Demonic Qi."
The voice paused over there, carrying a hint of mockery,
"However, you should think it over carefully, whether the next step is another trap..."
With that, the connection with Chen Ye was unilaterally cut off.
"Damn it!"
Chen Ye gritted his teeth, this person... really took himself as a cat and him as a mouse, didn’t they?
He took a deep breath, suppressing his internal injuries.
In fact, the physical injuries alone were still bearable.
The key was that Ji Yueze had used the Heart Evil Technique; though his Divine Sense was powerful, the Demon Curse was insidious and continued to affect his mind.
Causing his seven emotions and six desires to be uncontrollably provoked.
...
Chen Ye followed the direction of the Demonic Qi flow, delving deeper once again.
This time, the scene ahead made even a cultivator like him, who had lived through two lifetimes, feel his scalp tingling.
It was a more expansive underground space, less like a cave and more like a gigantic graveyard!
Countless Resentful Spirits, denser and more solid than before, roamed and howled aimlessly here like a sea of gray.
Their forms varied, human and beast alike, all emitting immense resentment and deep hatred toward the living!
"Jie——!"
As Chen Ye stepped in, all the Resentful Spirits found a vent, collectively changing direction with shrill screams, rushing towards him madly!
"Qingzhi!"
Chen Ye shouted angrily, and the towering Puppet instantly stood before him.
In the face of such an overwhelming wave of Resentful Spirits, any Magic seemed feeble; only Qingzhi’s tireless steel body was the most effective barrier!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Every swing of Qingzhi’s iron fist shattered several Resentful Spirits into pieces, yet these spirits were endless, fearlessly crashing against the defense line.
Chen Ye stood behind Qingzhi, calmly observing it all.
"These Resentful Spirits... could they be formed from the beings who died fleeing the Cold Calamity?"
Recently, after the Cold Calamity, several waves of Beast Tides arose again.
Among these, countless beings died fleeing, perhaps... someone secretly set up a Grand Array, collecting the resentment of the dead, forging the array to nourish the Purifying Heart Lotus?
"I see, no wonder the Demon Cultivator planted the Purifying Heart Lotus in the East Valley of the Three Thousand Great Mountains. It seems the Emotion Crossing Sect knew early on that someone in the Refining God Sect would face the Nascent Soul Tribulation in the Three Thousand Great Mountains and prepared here in advance."
When Qingzhi tore open a breach in the Resentful Spirit tide, Chen Ye pursued closely, rushing through the Resentful Spirit tide with Qingzhi.
"Strange... why did Qing Jun and I fall simultaneously, yet he vanished instantly..."
Chen Ye clenched his palm, puzzled beyond understanding.
He kept praying, clutching his palm tightly, until he reached the deepest part of the cave, where a gentle, nearly sacred silver moonlight entered his eyes.
Chen Ye’s footsteps involuntarily came to a halt.
He saw a lake.
A vast underground Demon Lake formed from liquefied Demonic Qi, the black pool atop the altar was extracted from this Demon Lake.
The lake surface was as black as the night, reflecting the crystal stones emitting a faint glow above, like an inverted star river.
And above the star river was that holy silver moonlight in Chen Ye’s pupils.
She appeared very young, dressed in a gorgeous palace gown, her long silver hair cascading down like flowing moonlight.
Her features were exquisite beyond compare, like the most perfect creation of heaven, yet also carried a kind of aloofness that kept others at a thousand miles away.
Her slightly elongated eyes were closed, her expression indifferent, as if she was integrated with heaven and earth, yet seemed to stand apart from the three realms and six paths.
Even though Chen Ye had seen the heroic spirit of Li Qiuyun and the delicacy of Bai Susu.
At this moment, he had to admit that the beauty of the girl before him surpassed his understanding in both his lifetimes.
It was a non-human, almost Dao-like beauty.
"You are here."
The girl’s long eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.
Those were eyes that made one’s heart tremble.
The pupils were not ordinary black but as transparent as the finest rubies, burning with flames that seemed to be able to engulf all, covered by a layer of extreme indifference, like scorching magma sealed beneath ancient ice.
Two extremes of contradiction intertwined in her eyes, breathtakingly beautiful.
Chen Ye’s heart was in his throat at this moment.
He had never seen someone with such an aura!
Could it be a Nascent Soul True Monarch?
He instinctively wanted to speak, but the remnants of the "Heart Evil Technique" suddenly flared up at this moment!
An uncontrollable possessiveness erupted from the bottom of his heart, without warning, causing him to look at this somewhat familiar face and blurt out:
"So cute..."
As soon as the words fell, Chen Ye wished he could slap himself.
Logically, he should have said she was beautiful, but calling her cute—what did he mean by that...
Ahem, of course, that wasn’t the point.
The point was, he actually spoke such presumptuous words to a seemingly powerful girl?
As expected, after hearing his words, murderous intent almost tangible swept through the girl’s crimson eyes instantly.
"Lout!"
She stared at Chen Ye with disgust, squinting as she scrutinized him, her lips curling into a mocking smile, as if she had already seen through the man before her.
But then, a bizarre scene unfolded.
While Chen Ye was still anxious, a suspicious blush quietly crept onto her snow-white ear and quickly spread across her entire small face.
