(Extra chapter dedicated to Lingwu Qingyao, the Alliance Leader)

...

"Ding ding~ ding~" Suddenly, a bell rang out from afar above, drawing closer.

Lin Shiwei was about to step forward to the right when she heard the sound, freezing in place!

The Bell Bracelet on the Red Mist Woman's wrist had already become a nightmare for both of them.

Du Yu quickly grabbed Lin Shiwei's shoulder and pulled her back, pressing his forehead against Little You Ying: "Shh."

Little You Ying transformed into a swirling Wind Demon Breath, merging into Du Yu's Forehead Acupoint.

The two retreated quietly, and the sound of the Bell Bracelet grew louder!

With Little You Ying's light gone, the surroundings plunged into darkness, and the sound of Red-robed People falling to the ground continuously came from afar.

Du Yu and Lin Shiwei concentrated and held their breath, retreating further and further.

"Ding ding~ ding~"

Accompanied by chaotic footsteps, the bell sound gradually faded away.

Du Yu pressed Lin Shiwei's shoulder slightly forward.

The two cautiously stepped forward, following the faint bell sound, walking for a full eight minutes.

The entrance to the Bottomless Pit was vast, and the underground area was equally sizable. Especially in the pitch-black environment, Du Yu and Lin Shiwei didn't know where they were.

The only thing Du Yu was certain of was that their direction was correct.

Because the further they went, the more concentrated the Spiritual Qi became!

The Spiritual Qi flowing into the Bottomless Pit from the Divine Tree seemed to be converging here!

"Light." Lin Shiwei leaned slightly backward, whispering.

In the deepest part of this dark underground, any hint of light would inevitably attract attention.

But the problem is... this place should be shrouded in Cold Qi, with nothing visible beyond five meters, so how could distant light be seen?

"Step lightly." Du Yu kept his hand on Lin Shiwei's head, ensuring she didn't turn around, while a layer of pale red covered his eyes.

Seeing this, Du Yu was completely dumbfounded.

At some point, the surrounding swirling gray mist had disappeared.

Because the Cold Qi was simulated by the Shadow Gu Tower, and not genuine, the two moving in the dark hadn't noticed the Cold Qi dissipating around them.

And in the extreme distance, Du Yu saw a bizarre scene!

More than a dozen Black-robed People were seated on the ground, gathered in a circle.

At the central area surrounded by the Black-robed People, dazzling light was shining!

Rich Spiritual Qi, like streams of water, continuously converged here, forming a massive circular "carpet" tightly pressed against the ground.

Such a "Spiritual Energy Carpet," as if blocking some gap?

At the same time, more than a dozen Red-robed People were marching with captive Black-robed People toward the Spiritual Energy Carpet.

"Woo~!" The Red Mist Woman let out a bizarre cry, suddenly raising her right hand, and a Hollow Fire Cannon was immediately thrown out.

Battle began instantly!

The captive Black-robed People finally completed their guiding mission, one by one having their throats squeezed and hearts ripped apart by the Red-robed People, dying miserably on site...

The twelve Black-robed People sitting around the "Spiritual Energy Carpet" stood up swiftly, engaging the Red-robed People in close combat!

It was clear that the combat power of these Black-robed People was immensely strong, unlike the captives from the village.

As Du Yu and Lin Shiwei approached, Lin Shiwei finally saw the full battlefield.

The Spiritual Energy Carpet was enormous, its brilliance dazzling; under the absence of any Cold Qi around, the battlefield was bright as day!

"Ding ding~ ding~" The Red Mist Woman suddenly raised her hand, freezing a Black-robed Man who charged into the enemy line mid-air.

The opposing Red-robed People were relentless, tearing apart the Black-robed Man's throat with their claws.

With the sound of the Demon Breath Battle Robe tearing, the Black-robed Man flew backward, desperately clutching his throat but unable to stop the flow of black mist blood.

"Ding ding~ ding~"

The backward-flying Black-robed Man's figure froze again, quickly flying towards the Red Mist Woman, who grabbed him by the neck.

In her other hand, the Little Shadow Gu Tower also extracted the Black-robed Man's soul.

"Ahhhh!" The Black-robed Man's soul let out a scream, the scene becoming hauntingly eerie and immensely cruel.

"Hehe~" The Red Mist Woman chuckled lightly, tossing the corpse aside. Her palm revealed another Hollow Fire Cannon, throwing it at the Spiritual Energy Carpet.

Upon seeing this, a Black-robed Man disregarded the enemy before him, enduring the opponent's attacks to rush toward the Spiritual Energy Carpet.

To be precise, the Black-robed Man was using his body to block the Hollow Fire Cannon.

So, these Black-robed People sitting underground were guarding this Spiritual Energy Carpet?

"Boom!"

The Black-robed Man singlehandedly blocking the cannon was blasted away by the Hollow Fire Cannon, spurting black mist blood and scattering it all around.

"Hehe~ Hahaha!" The Red Mist Woman laughed recklessly, throwing another Hollow Fire Cannon toward the Spiritual Energy Carpet.

This time, a Black-robed Person attempted to stop it but was ultimately a step too late.

"Crack!" A crisp sound!

The moment the Hollow Fire Cannon exploded, a few fragments appeared on the Spiritual Energy Carpet!

Traces of Cold Qi seeped out through the gaps, continuously invading the Bottomless Pit.

But the trace amounts of Cold Qi were too scarce; upon entering the region filled with Spiritual Qi, they hurriedly dispersed, unable to form a climate yet.

"Shiwei, until now, we haven't encountered any Demon Beasts from the Celestial Treasure Race." Du Yu murmured softly.

Lin Shiwei: "Mm..."

Du Yu: "Everyone knows that the Celestial Treasure Race comes from the Bottomless, so this Spiritual Energy Carpet may very well be blocking the exit of the Celestial Treasure Race's lair!"
