"This..."
Jing Yulan hesitated, her face full of worry.
Ye Zhan helped her to a chair and smiled, "Yulan, just rest at home and take care of the baby. I promise I'll return unharmed, alright?"
"But..."
Jing Yulan wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Ye Zhan's kiss.
"Yulan, I know what you're worried about. Don't you worry, I've already broken through to the God King realm. Even if I encounter a peak God King realm expert, I can still escape unharmed. So, put your mind at ease. I'll be back as soon as possible, no more than ten days!"
Jing Yulan knew that if she pestered him further, Ye Zhan would be displeased.
Therefore, she nodded and said gently, "Alright then, I'll wait for you at home. You must come back safely, understand?"
"Okay!"
Ye Zhan smiled dotingly, raised his right hand, and swore, "I swear I will return safely!"
Only then did the worry on Jing Yulan's face subside and disappear.
The next morning, Ye Zhan, accompanied by a few people, left the Ye family and set off for the Chaos Domain.
Soon, Ye Zhan arrived at the Jing family.
He instructed his subordinates to search the Jing family meticulously, but they found nothing of value.
"How could this be? Did I guess wrong?"
Ye Zhan stood in the courtyard of the Jing family, his brow furrowed.
His subordinates knew he was deep in thought and did not disturb him.
As night fell, the Jing family mansion became extremely eerie, causing Ye Zhan to shiver and snap out of his reverie.
Suddenly, a dark figure flashed by not far from him. Ye Zhan quickly gave chase.
He was sure it was a person, and one with considerable cultivation.
Ye Zhan pursued while carefully concealing his tracks.
The figure did not notice Ye Zhan following behind and sped towards the depths of the Jing family.
Ye Zhan remained calm, keeping a distance behind the figure.
He wanted to see what the person was doing appearing at the Jing family mansion at night.
The two, one after the other, soon arrived in the Jing family garden.
The figure furtively surveyed the surroundings before diving into a rockery.
Ye Zhan did not rush. After the figure disappeared, he emerged from his hiding spot and followed into the rockery.
However, the figure was nowhere to be found inside.
Ye Zhan pondered for a moment and began to search within the rockery.
Yet, he searched almost every part of the rockery but found no mechanism.
"Strange! If there's no mechanism, how could that person disappear here?"
"No! There must be a mechanism here! But where is it?"
Ye Zhan, unwilling to give up, searched the rockery again, but still found no clue.
"Crack!"
In frustration, he struck the rockery with his palm.
Suddenly, Ye Zhan noticed something amiss.
Under his palm, there was a rustling sensation.
"What is it?"
Ye Zhan looked closely and discovered a small grass beneath his palm.
Grass?!
"This is inside the rockery, and sunlight can hardly penetrate. How can there be grass?"
With doubt, Ye Zhan reached out and gently lifted the small grass.
"Rustle!"
A sound of water arose.
"How can there be water here?"
Ye Zhan released his divine sense and began to search again.
Soon, in an inconspicuous spot, he discovered a deep well.
A well?!
Ye Zhan frowned, leaped down, and landed directly in the water.
So cold!
The well water was bone-chilling. The sudden cold made Ye Zhan, who was not yet accustomed to it, shiver involuntarily.
Then, he enveloped his entire body with the power of laws, and the chill was finally blocked out.
Ye Zhan continued to dive!
One breath!
Two breaths!
Three breaths!
...
It took a full ten breaths before Ye Zhan finally felt himself passing through a barrier, and his feet finally touched solid ground.
At the same time, Ye Zhan discovered that at the bottom of the well was an unusual space devoid of water.
And it was a barrier that kept the water out of the space.
"What is this place?"
Ye Zhan was very confused.
This place was so hidden that even though he had lived in the Jing family for nearly two years, he had never discovered it.
Just then, spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly came from not far away.
Ye Zhan stopped thinking and hurried towards the source of the spiritual energy fluctuations.
Soon, he was stunned.
Before Ye Zhan's eyes was a teleportation array with faint spatial fluctuations.
It was clear that the person just now had already left through this teleportation array.
Where did this teleportation array lead?
Ye Zhan, in confusion, stepped onto the teleportation array and placed a few spirit stones into the array's groove.
The space began to fluctuate, but Ye Zhan was not flustered. He knew this was a sign that the teleportation array was activating.
The spirit stones shattered, and Ye Zhan disappeared from his original spot.
After a bout of dizziness, Ye Zhan appeared on the teleportation array on the other side.
This teleportation array was deep inside a cave and was not guarded. It seemed the other party was very confident in the array's secrecy.
Ye Zhan jumped off the teleportation array and stealthily moved towards the outside of the cave.
Soon, he heard voices speaking not far away.
Ye Zhan knew that the cave entrance was not far ahead.
He concealed his presence and listened carefully to the sounds at the cave entrance.
"Thirteen, you're back!" said a man.
"Nine, it's your turn to be on duty today!" said another man. Sudannovel.com
"That's right! His Majesty the Ghost Emperor has been increasingly irritable lately. And this teleportation array is extremely important, so we, the Ten Great Ghost Messengers, have to guard it ourselves!"
Ye Zhan was shocked internally. "His Majesty the Ghost Emperor? The Ten Great Ghost Messengers? Could this be... the Ghost Realm of the Ghost Clan? Good heavens! This teleportation array actually connects to the Ghost Realm. Could the Jing family be spies planted by the Ghost Realm in the Chaos Domain?"
"No! If the Jing family were truly spies for the Ghost Realm, why would they have been wiped out by the Ghost Realm? But if the Jing family were not spies for the Ghost Realm, how can this teleportation array be explained?"
As Ye Zhan was wildly guessing, the voices from outside came in again.
"Isn't that right? I've already been punished thirteen times. If I don't catch that Extreme Yin Extreme Yang Body again, I'll probably be crippled!"
"Extreme Yin Extreme Yang Body?"
Ye Zhan was even more shocked.
The Extreme Yin Extreme Yang Body was a rare constitution. This constitution only appeared in women.
The so-called Extreme Yin meant a woman, and the Extreme Yang Body meant a woman whose birth chart was all Yang. Such a constitution was rare, appearing only once in ten thousand years.
"Alas, everyone has it hard! By the way, how's your side?"
"Alas, don't mention it! Ever since that Extreme Yin Extreme Yang Body was rescued by that kid from the Ye family, she's been staying at the Ye family and hasn't come out. We can't find any opportunity to act."
