Young Friend, Kill Me...

Not only Qin Nanyue, but Lu Yang also didn't quite understand why this spatial rift hadn't disappeared after existing for so long.

They stared at the spatial rift for half an hour, but it remained there as if it had always existed in the air.

This left Lu Yang and Qin Nanyue exchanging bewildered glances.

Lu Yang thought for a moment and then said, "Let's go in and take a look. Stay close to me; there might be other spatial rifts inside, so be careful not to bump into them."

Although spatial rifts are not blades, their destructive power is far greater than that of blades if touched. Qin Nanyue is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Although she has strengthened her physique through several random missions, her physique is still not strong enough to withstand the tearing caused by spatial rifts.

Let alone Qin Nanyue, even Lu Yang wouldn't dare to experience the destructive power of the spatial rift with his physical body unless he used the Power of Money.

However, Lu Yang's Divine Sense is extremely strong, and he can detect spatial rifts in the air, so there is no need to worry about encountering them inexplicably.

Qin Nanyue nodded and leaned against Lu Yang.

The two continued exploring.

After traveling about a kilometer, Lu Yang indeed detected the spatial rift.

This time, within Lu Yang's Divine Sense range, there were four areas containing spatial rifts.

However, these spatial rifts were not in their path, but in the nearby area.

This made Lu Yang raise an eyebrow slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

There really is more than one spatial rift.

What's going on here?

It wasn't that he hadn't been to smaller planes before; when he entered the smaller plane of that Void Evil Entity, there were no spatial rifts like this inside.

Or is it that this secret realm is about to collapse and be torn apart?

But that doesn't make sense either.

These spatial rifts appear stable, unlike the kind of planes that are about to be torn apart.

In a plane that is about to be torn apart, once a spatial rift appears, it should expand rapidly within a short period of time.

Lu Yang was a little confused, but he didn't think too much about it. He figured he'd deal with whatever came his way.

With his current amount of Spirit Stones, as long as he uses the [Power of Money], even if this secret realm collapses, it won't pose much danger to him, and he can easily protect Qin Nanyue.

However, after thinking for a moment, Metal Dao Principle Runes in Lu Yang's eyes, and golden mist swirled around him, spreading outwards from Lu Yang and Qin Nanyue for hundreds of meters.

Seeing this, Qin Nanyue looked at Lu Yang with some confusion. "What's wrong?"

Lu Yang smiled slightly and explained, "There are more and more spatial rifts here. I'm afraid that even my Divine Sense won't be able to detect them. Using the Metal Dao Principle to explore will be more effective than using my Divine Sense."

After all, the Principle themselves belong to heaven and earth, and with Lu Yang's level of comprehension of the Metal Dao Principle, he can completely detect all anomalies in heaven and earth within the scope of the Principle.

Although this range is not as wide as Divine Sense detection, it is safer.

If an accident happens because of your own carelessness, then you'll truly regret it.

Qin Nanyue nodded slightly after hearing Lu Yang's explanation, but didn't say anything more.

The two continued exploring.

They hadn't gone far when powerful fluctuations of energy emanated from afar.

The next moment, Lu Yang saw black mist approaching at an extremely fast speed in the distance.

The black mist moved extremely fast, and in no time it reached above them, revealing its inner form.

They were two emaciated women in long dresses; their flesh and blood seemed to have vanished, leaving only wrinkled skin clinging to their bones.

The long dresses worn by the two women looked very similar in style, with Daoist Runes that manifested both Water Dao and Sword Dao Runes, and appeared to be the robes of a sect.

Unlike those Sha Demons whose eyes burned with soul fire, these two skeletal women had normal eyes.

However, both of their eyes were extremely cloudy, with no distinction between the whites and pupils; instead, they appeared entirely grayish-black.

The two women possessed very strong auras, even reaching the level of the Golden Core Perfection stage, similar to the rotting man from before.

The two women hovered in mid-air, their dark gray eyes fixed on Lu Yang and Qin Nanyue. One of them spoke in a hoarse, hollow voice. "The territory of the Mystic Dark Sword Sect is off-limits. Those who come... halt."

Upon hearing the woman's voice, both Lu Yang and Qin Nanyue were taken aback.

This was the first time they had ever encountered talking demons and monsters.

Lu Yang smiled slightly at the two women, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said gently, "Seniors, we two did not intentionally trespass on your sect's territory. We hope you will forgive us."

Whether it was Lu Yang's charm or not, both women fell silent for a few moments.

A moment later, the woman who had spoken earlier said in a hollow voice again, "Stop. Leave this place."

Lu Yang didn't rush to leave. Instead, he smiled and asked, "We two juniors come from afar. May we ask what kind of sect this Mystic Dark Sword Sect is? May we enter and have a look?"

The woman spoke again, "The Mystic Dark Sword Sect is a sacred ground for both the Water and Sword paths in the Heavenly Azure Realm. The Mystic Dark Sword Sect suppresses the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost here; entry is forbidden..."

At this point, the woman's voice suddenly stopped, and a certain ripple seemed to appear in her gray-black eyes.

Lu Yang and Qin Nanyue exchanged a glance.

Heavenly Azure Realm?

Isn't this the Ancient Yue Secret Realm?

What is the Heavenly Azure Realm?

Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost?

Upon hearing the name, the two immediately thought of the Yin Sha Qi and the rotting man.

This Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost bears a resemblance to that rotting man?

Then Lu Yang suddenly remembered the formation that sealed the rotting man, which seemed to be based on the Water and Sword paths. Moreover, the spiritual Spirit Treasure that had lost its spirituality also seemed to be Spirit Treasure the Water and Sword paths.

So, it seems that the Sword Dao Ruins originally belonged to the Mystic Dark Sword Sect?

Not only Lu Yang thought of this, but Qin Nanyue did as well.

She transmitted her Sound Dao, "Lu Yang, this Mystic Dark Sword Sect seems to be related to that Ruins. Could this Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost be the same as that rotting man from earlier?"

Lu Yang replied telepathically, "Not sure, let me ask."

Just as Lu Yang was about to ask, black mist suddenly emanated from the two women, and a powerful Yin Sha Qi surged forth. Their gray-black eyes gradually turned deep black, exuding a dense aura of Sha Qi.

Black lines, resembling spider webs, appeared on the skin of both women.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yang's expression immediately hardened. His Law Treasure appeared, and the talisman also appeared in Lu Yang hand. At the same time, wisps of golden mist surged and gradually flowed into Lu Yang's body.

Just then, the two women let out a painful growl. One of them was bent over with her fists clenched, as if she was enduring something, while the other grabbed her head with both hands, her expression extremely ferocious.

Lu Yang frowned. He had initially thought the two women would launch a sudden attack, but their reaction was completely unexpected.

Just as Lu Yang was filled with doubt, the woman's voice, which had been hoarse, now held a hint of unease. "Having guarded the Sha Ghost for many years... I ultimately could not escape the corruption of the Yin energy... Young friend, kill me..."
