”This place should be safe!”

Wang Chong walked forward and lightly sniffed. There was a strange scent in the air, like something was being burned.

This should be the smell of this green smoke! Wang Chong noted to himself.

Based on the feedback from his Psychic Energy, there was no one else here, but for some reason, Wang Chong felt uneasy.

”There's a stone bridge up ahead!” The Lone Silence Ancestor's voice rang out in everyone's ears, and the man himself immediately rushed forward, going past the third-generation successor.

”Careful!”

Wang Chong reached out with his right hand to call back the Lone Silence Ancestor, but the man moved too quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had run out of the corridor and reached the cliff.

Swooshswooshswoosh!

Several sounds came from up ahead, and the group soon spotted a familiar figure in front of them. It was the Lone Silence Ancestor, and in front of him, two lanterns had lit up, one on each side.

At the bottom of the lanterns, a dark blue light flashed by, seeming to extend forward with a life of its own, lighting up the second row, third row… A line of lanterns was soon lit, stretching into the haze.

These points of cold light finally lit up this lightless world, and in the haze, an ancient stone bridge emerged.

The stone bridge was only about two feet wide, and it followed the course of the lanterns as it extended into the abyss, a passage to a mysterious world.

”Look; there are words here!” The Lone Silence Ancestor's gleeful voice came from up ahead, and one could hear the excitement in it.

”It's a stone stele! The Immortal-Crossing Bridge!”

As the group turned to look, they really did see a stele next to the bridge, around three feet tall.

Wang Chong immediately stepped forward, but after taking two steps, he glanced at the lanterns burning on the bridge and suddenly had an ill foreboding.

”Wait! Someone's been here!” Wang Chong suddenly called out. ”Master, watch out!”

This warning came so abruptly that the Demonic Emperor Old Man, the Lone Silence Ancestor, and the Wushang Village Chief all turned to Wang Chong in shock.

Just when they were wondering in confusion why Wang Chong had done this, they heard a cold sneer.

”Haha, truly the Great Tang's King of Foreign Lands. Even this was enough for you to notice something fishy! I underestimated you!” An icy voice suddenly emerged from the dark world and echoed throughout the space.

A sinister and dark energy erupted out of nowhere, sweeping toward the group like a storm.

And most frightening of all was that this terrifying energy had appeared on the rock wall of the passage, only a few feet from the group.

”Not good!”

Everyone paled in shock. No one had expected someone to be hiding so close, and most shocking of all was that despite their close proximity, Wang Chong's Psychic Energy had never even sensed him.

And the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief, despite being so nearby, also had not sensed anything.

Like a ghost, this person had perfectly avoided everyone's senses.

Bang!

The world swayed and shook as an explosive energy hurtled toward the group.

So great was the destructive power in this pitch-black energy that the entire world seemed to tremble in fear.

”Careful!”

The Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief grimaced as they attacked in unison. Wang Chong also gathered up all his Stellar Energy and sent it hurtling forward, and even the third-generation successor that was twenty meters ahead turned around to face this new foe.

Though the attack had come abruptly, the group had managed to react quickly.

Yet they still ended up underestimating the strength and shrewdness of this man. He had been hiding in the rock wall for some time, waiting until the group was separated, the Lone Silence Ancestor at the bridge and the third-generation successor leading the group, to launch his explosive assault.

Boomboomboom!

The moment the four streams of Stellar Energy clashed in the air, that man's aura suddenly disappeared. Despite being outnumbered, he was not at all outmatched.

The Demonic Emperor Old Man seemed to sense something and called out in panic, ”Not good! Chong-er, watch out!”
