As they ventured deeper into the valley, the fog grew thicker.
"So cold? Was this fog formed from frigid energy?"
The dense fog carried a bone-chilling cold. Even with Meng Hao's current cultivation and physique, he felt freezing cold to the marrow.
"It is indeed due to the power of yin coldness."
Li Yu nodded, sighing inwardly again. This was not merely cold energy, but... resentment!
A discarded "woman"—how could she not be filled with towering resentment?
They continued onward, and the cold grew ever fiercer!
Braving the frigid air, the two pressed forward. Before long, they arrived at the bottom of the valley.
There was no grass or vegetation here, no trace of life—only endless ice-cold chill and lifeless desolation.
Looking around, their eyes fell upon the only area at the valley floor untouched by fog.
There... was a cave three zhang wide!
The cave was bottomless, revealing only boundless darkness!
Waves of cold air poured from the cave entrance, turning into the icy fog that blanketed the entire valley.
"So the cold and fog both came from here!"
Meng Hao nodded, then turned toward the edge of the cave entrance and frowned deeply once more.
At the bottom of the entrance lay a dark red cord. Its dark crimson hue seemed to have been soaked in countless amounts of blood, radiating a demonic and terrifying aura.
"Buzz..."
The Seal Demon Ancient Jade in Meng Hao's hand began to hum and tremble. Its light grew brighter and brighter, and it became increasingly hot.
Vaguely, Meng Hao sensed an intense summons arising from within the cave.
"Let's go in!"
Li Yu stepped beside Meng Hao, nodded, and waved his hand. A ray of light flew into the cave, illuminating its entirety.
It was a cave about a thousand zhang deep.
