So many of our people have died… and yet you haven’t even thought of going there yourself.” “Are you that afraid of death?” A cold, calm voice suddenly echoed in Huangfu Tingfeng’s mind, making him freeze on the spot. We won’t even need to finis...

“I understand.”
Ru Yancheng raised a hand and lightly pressed his temple before asking in a calm tone.
“Has Nangong Yuchin returned yet?”
“I just checked. She still hasn’t returned,” Li Miaoxin replied honestly. “The disciples from the Divine Spirit Sect are also getting extremely anxious.”
Ru Yancheng frowned, a trace of displeasure flashing across his face.
“She’s been gone for 12 days and still hasn’t come back. How irritating.”
…
Time passed as day and night cycled. Another 3 days went by, and the morning sun slowly rose from the east.
A spirit vessel gradually descended into the valley. Nangong Yuchin stepped down and walked straight toward her cave dwelling.
During this period, she had lived quietly beside a waterfall, as if she had gained some new understanding of herself. Her once cold, expressionless face now carried a hint of freshness and clarity. The gloom had faded, replaced by a more pure and gentle aura.
“Holy Maiden, you’ve finally returned! We were extremely worried!” Zhao Shiguang, Liu Tanwen, Gao Xiang, and Jiang Rou hurried forward in relief.
Nangong Yuchin smiled faintly.
“No need to worry. I’ve returned safely. I just spent a few days resting by the waterfall to clear my mind. Look at you all—you were overly anxious.”
When they saw her smile, all four of them froze for a moment. In their memories, this was the first time in many years they had seen her smile.
But seeing her in such a good mood, they hesitated and did not dare immediately tell her the bad news from the trial, afraid it would affect her state of mind.
Nangong Yuchin noticed their expressions and raised a brow slightly.
“If there’s something, just say it.”
“Holy Maiden… there is bad news,” Jiang Rou said softly.
“Come inside and speak,” Nangong Yuchin said as she walked into the cave.
After the four followed her in, Jiang Rou said with tears welling up.
“Reporting to the Holy Maiden, over the past half month while you were away, we discovered that many life tokens have shattered, and a total of 89 disciples have died…”
“What?!” Nangong Yuchin’s expression changed instantly, her gaze turning sharp and icy. “Say everything clearly. What exactly happened?”
Jiang Rou then reported everything truthfully.
“12 days ago, Yuan Shilang, Jie Kuang, and more than 423 disciples who were stationed near the entrance of the Burial God Abyss, along with over 400 disciples from the Immortal Saint Sect guarding the valley… almost all of them died around the same time. The cause of death is still unknown.”
“After that, another 467 people died one after another.”
“And 12 days ago, Young Master Ru Yancheng came to see you and asked that you meet him immediately upon your return.”
After hearing everything, anger surged in Nangong Yuchin’s heart. She had not expected that during this trial alone, so many people would die in just 3 months.
She took a deep breath and said coldly,
“I understand.”
She turned to Gao Xiang, her eyes sharp as blades.
“Go summon Ru Yancheng to see me.”
“Yes, Holy Maiden.” Gao Xiang bowed and quickly left. Soon after, he returned with Ru Yancheng.
“Holy Maiden, I have been deeply concerned for your safety. Now that I see you returned safely, I am relieved,” Ru Yancheng said, still maintaining his polite demeanor.
“Thank you for your concern, Young Master Ru Yancheng,” Nangong Yuchin replied, frowning slightly. “Speak. So many of our people have died—what is your view on this matter?”
Ru Yancheng answered in a deep voice,
“12 days ago, over 800 people died in a single day. I suspect… they were attacked by a powerful demonic beast while ambushing disciples of the Huafu Sacred Sect.”
“From this incident, it is clear that the Burial God Abyss trial is filled with unpredictable dangers.”
“Therefore, I have already sent Tuoba Jingge to investigate. He should reach the Burial God Abyss by tomorrow. We should wait for his report first, then make a more careful plan.”
After hearing this, Nangong Yuchin let out a cold laugh.
“Wait for further discussion?”
She stared at Ru Yancheng, her eyes icy.
“We are only 150,000 li away from the Burial God Abyss. It takes less than 1 day to reach it. So many of our people have died… and yet you haven’t even thought of going there yourself.”
“Are you that afraid of death?”
A cold, calm voice suddenly echoed in Huangfu Tingfeng’s mind, making him freeze on the spot.
“Brother Huangfu… it’s me, Tang Yun. Now find a way to lure them down from their spirit vessel. Then we will kill them all… not a single one left alive.”
Huangfu Tingfeng’s eyes widened sharply, his gaze trembling violently for a split second. He quickly forced his expression back under control.
Behind them, about 30 li away in the sea of clouds, Cui Fan stood on his spirit vessel with a vicious grin on his face, leading over 400 disciples from the Immortal Saint Sect in close pursuit.
Mocking shouts echoed endlessly through the sky.
“Trash from Huafu Sacred Sect, where do you think you’re running?!”
“Even if you escape into the Burial God Abyss, you’re still going to die. We won’t even need to finish you ourselves!”
“In ancient times, for over 10,000 years, no sect has ever dared to go deeper than 1,000,000 li into the Burial God Abyss!”
“At your speed, you’ll all be dead within 2–3 days anyway!”
“Surrender now! At least you’ll get whole corpses!”
Huangfu Tingfeng ignored the ridicule completely. He clenched his teeth and continued controlling the spirit vessel, charging straight toward the entrance of the Burial God Abyss with unwavering determination.
And then—just as the vessel was about to enter the abyss…
A familiar voice rang directly inside his mind.
“Brother Huangfu… it’s me, Tang Yun.”
“Now find a way to lure them off their spirit vessel. After that… we will kill them all. Not a single one will remain.”
The moment those words landed, Huangfu Tingfeng’s pupils contracted sharply. His heart pounded heavily in his chest.
Without a single moment of hesitation, he immediately responded through spiritual transmission, his tone firm and decisive:
“Understood!”
