Seeing the footage of one spectacular and majestic golden palace after another on TV, Yun Zhongtian excitedly leaped from his chair and, while patting the table, exclaimed in excitement, "Mine! All mine! The entire ancient underground city belongs to me, Yun Zhongtian!"

Two years ago, Tai Shan found him and told him that beneath the northern district of City H lay a complete ancient city, which was at least half the size of the northern district of City H and possessed tens of thousands of years of history, boasting significant archaeological research and tourism value. Beyond that, in the heart of this ancient city, there were several golden palaces, specifically located under a residential community south of the North District Civic Park.

After hearing what Tai Shan had said, and thinking of the immeasurable value of this underground ancient city, Yun Zhongtian agreed to partner with Tai Shan. Over the past two years, his actions – such as acquiring a large amount of land in the northern district of City H, buying the local Tely Pharmaceutical Group, and establishing biological research centers around the world – were all in anticipation of this moment today.

Just as Yun Zhongtian was feeling unspeakably thrilled, his cell phone suddenly rang.

After answering the call, a deep and icy voice came through: "I've found out who Campus Hero is, and I've also learned that he has a girlfriend, who he is currently on the way to visit."

"Really?" Yun Zhongtian said, surprised and delighted.

"What do you plan to do next?"

"First, get his girlfriend to my office!" Yun Zhongtian sneered.

"Alright!"

After hanging up, Yun Zhongtian said with unrestrained excitement, "What a double stroke of luck!"

However, at this moment, in the northern district.

Inside the Lake of Wolf Blood.

Seeing the golden palace appear beneath the barrier, the dragon, already half-corroded by the wolf blood, let out an angry roar and then used the last of its strength to charge at the barrier sealing the ancient underground city.

Once again, the lake's surface surged wildly, and the ground within the northern district shook violently.

After the dragon broke the barrier, its massive body, bare like a black snake, crashed onto the roof of one of the golden palaces below the barrier. And with the barrier's disappearance, the wolf blood thunderously plummeted down, filling the entire underground city. In an instant, the surface of the Lake of Wolf Blood formed an even bigger vortex, and the water level of the lake suddenly fell by hundreds of meters.

"Boom, boom, boom," without the support of the barrier, and given that the original barrier extended over half of the northern district, a vast majority of the land above it began to collapse, crashing down towards the ancient underground city.

"Not good!" Hua Shan exclaimed suddenly. At this moment, the barrier they were on floated above the pale green Lake of Wolf Blood like an isolated island, "The barrier is gone, half of the northern district might collapse! We better get out of here fast, otherwise we're going to fall into the vortex!"

"I see Tai Shan!" Chen Hao abruptly said, noticing Tai Shan had already reached the corpse of the dragon. Around him was a barrier, keeping the wolf blood, stones, and crumbling earth that were constantly smashing down at him at bay.

As for the dragon, now only a pile of bones remained. After a few seconds, under Tai Shan's silent gaze, its bones were also slowly corroded by the wolf blood. It had successfully fulfilled its task; only a dragon could break the barrier set by the ancestors of the City of Yin and Time.

Once the dragon completely turned to dust, Tai Shan swiftly departed. In a blink, he arrived inside a palace whose ceiling had already been eroded by the wolf blood.

Suddenly, Chen Hao noticed a sword point embedded in the palace's ground. Although it was just a sword point, it was several times larger than an ordinary sword. The surrounding golden floor was already corroded by the wolf blood, yet this sword point remained completely undamaged.

"Could it be that everything Tai Shan has done was for this sword point?" Chen Hao thought to himself. At the same time, he also wondered, "What kind of sword is this, and what about the strange patterns on the blade?"

At this moment, Chen Hao saw Tai Shan creating a Barrier inside the palace, engulfing both him and the tip of the sword. Then he dissolved the original barrier and approached the massive broken sword tip.

Stunned for a moment, Tai Shan pulled a small bottle from his bosom with his left hand, uncapped it, and poured a pool of fresh red blood into the palm of his right hand from the mouth of the bottle.

After his right hand was covered with blood, Tai Shan threw the bottle onto the ground. Hesitating for a few seconds, Tai Shan took a deep breath and slowly extended his right hand towards the giant broken sword's tip.

As he was about to touch the sword tip, both Tai Shan's right hand and his entire body began to tremble violently.

Finally, Tai Shan's right hand touched the tip of the sword. After remaining still for two seconds, he released a long sigh of relief.

Having witnessed the entire process through Nether Vision, Chen Hao thought to himself that this broken sword's tip must not be something ordinary people could touch, just like the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade and the Blood Moon Evil Subduing Sword; moreover, the blood that Tai Shan poured onto his right palm must be the key to touching the sword tip.

But whose blood was it? Chen Hao couldn't guess that.

After pulling out the sword tip, Tai Shan immediately left with the broken sword.

"Tai Shan has left," Chen Hao exclaimed, "It seems that he really only came for this sword tip!"

"Ah! I must go too, my fellow Campus Heroes and heroines!" Hua Shan said, his tone filled with disappointment and helplessness.

No sooner had he spoken than Hua Shan vanished.

Ye Yuqiao snorted angrily, then sent a secret message to Chen Hao, "Boyfriend, if I still had Nether King's Power inside me, I definitely wouldn't have let him go. I've got so many questions for him about Tai Shan and the City of Yin and Time!"

"That's why we must practice diligently in the future!"

"Naughty, you're still thinking of mischief at a time like this!"

"Bastard, Yuqiao, Ye Fei is awake!" Just then, Ye Fei, who was caring for Tang Jing, shouted to Chen Hao from the side.

Chen Hao, leading Ye Yuqiao by the hand, came to Tang Jing's side and asked Ye Fei, "Ye Fei, are you alright?"

Ye Fei shook his head, silent, his face filled with sorrow. He could see that all the surrounding buildings, trees, and everything else were collapsing into Lake of Wolf Blood, then being drawn into the vortex at the center of the lake.

"Dammit," Xie Xiaofeng suddenly exclaimed in urgency, "Our Barrier is about to fall into the vortex!"

"Don't worry, I have a way to escape!" said Chen Hao. As soon as he finished speaking, he summoned a purple Nether Acupoint above the heads of Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Ye Fei, and immediately drew the three into it. Then, holding Ye Yuqiao's hand, he jumped into the Nether Acupoint himself.

Two seconds later, a black-purple crack appeared in the sky, and Chen Hao and the other four emerged from it. Among them, Chen Hao was holding Ye Yuqiao, while Ye Fei carried Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing on either side. The Barrier where they had just been was now sucked into the terrifying vortex at the heart of Lake of Wolf Blood.

"Half of the northern district is gone just like that!" lamented Ye Fei.

"Roar!" At that moment, a howl from Qin Shang resonated from afar...
