The three of them entered the hall hand in hand, and the feeling became even more ethereal.

It was clearly just a Stone Hall, yet it felt like being in the air, with a vast sky and sea, and stars and clouds all around. There were no walls, no ceiling, only the endless darkness.

Dark clouds and sand were faintly visible, swirling gently around them.

"The Yin Illusion Sand is the very essence of this palace. It's an excellent material for forging and construction, especially useful for refining illusionary and Law Treasure," Liusu said. "This is something naturally formed in the Netherworld Space, and it has existed here for tens of thousands of years, so there's nothing wrong with it itself. However, there are some ancient formations remaining around it, as well as some newly added witchcraft spells. Taking the sand will most likely cause trouble."

This thing rarely gives such long-winded explanations anymore. Even when breaking the various secret realm restrictions below the rift, it hardly spoke. This time, it took on the role of the interpreter, which shows how determined it is to obtain the Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow that may exist here.

Qin Yi glanced around and felt a headache coming on. If he didn't move the sand, the space here was so chaotic that he couldn't even see where the exit was, but if he did move the sand, he might fall into a trap.

He pondered for a moment, then took out a Wooden Figure.

The Wooden Figure swelled in the wind, growing to True Person- size, and then ran up to grab sand.

Cheng Cheng couldn't help but chuckle, and Li Qingjun laughed too.

If someone were secretly spying on us here, they'd be furious.

Even in the puppetry techniques of the Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect, the puppet and its master are connected by mind; if the puppet encounters any Illusions, the master will also be affected. But this Wooden Figure has no mental connection with Qin Yi at all; it is a pre-programmed "program," and illusion arrays or life-and-blood magic have no effect on this kind of wood.

If there are people lying in ambush here, it's time to take action.

Sure enough, on the black ground, equally black sand slowly spread out, almost indistinguishable under the completely uniform color.

But the family, who had been keeping a close eye on things, discovered it one after another.

Li Qingjun brandished her silver spear, ready to thrust it downwards. Qin Yi pulled her hand away and struck first with his staff.

Qin Yi was genuinely worried that these lucky E-rank spearmen would run into trouble, so he figured he might as well do it himself.

Sure enough, when the staff struck the black sand, his soul trembled, his entire vision changed, and he fell into another dream.

Cheng Cheng immediately realized that he was affected by the soul, and waved her hand to cast a Spirit Return Technique on him. A faint sound of air being cut was heard as it approached the side of her neck.

The enemy launched a sneak attack!

Li Qingjun swept her silver spear horizontally, striking the object that was cutting through the air, which turned out to be nothing more than a tiny needle. The needle, thinner than a hair, actually caused her spear to sway slightly. An extremely strong force surged into the spear, Li Qingjun used the Secret Method of the Sword Pavilion, her Gang Qi surging several times, before she could barely deflect it.

At the same time, Cheng Cheng's golden ring flew out, heading straight for the source of the needle. "Get out here!"

The sound of someone fleeing through the air could be heard.

Cheng Cheng, who was supposed to be tracking, withdrew the golden ring and stood calmly in place.

Li Qingjun also stood guard beside Qin Yi with her spear, remaining motionless.

The person in the shadows was truly furious this time. It was one thing for Qin Yi to be so calm, but why were these women so calm too? Shouldn't it have been an instinctive reaction for one of them to come and check on them? Why didn't they even flinch?

To put it bluntly, their main objective at this moment was still to separate them. If they moved away from Qin Yi even a little bit, the surrounding fine sand could potentially separate them, allowing each to see different spaces. But they remained stuck together, back to back, refusing to budge an inch, which was troublesome.

Unless they reveal themselves and attack, it's possible to draw them away by creating a fierce battle. But once they reveal themselves, there's danger. They might get killed here and won't be able to escape.

The reason for separating them is precisely because their combined strength is troublesome, and they lack confidence in their victory...

Other sect combinations were easily separated, but these three, despite coming from different sects, were impossible to separate.

They weren't entirely clear about the backgrounds of these two women... one a demon king, the other a regent, both commanders of troops; it would be a miracle if they fell for a trap so easily. They knew perfectly well that chasing after people was pointless, even the curiosity to see what was going on was meaningless; ensuring the collective fighting strength of the three of them was the top priority. This wasn't a matter of mere intelligence, but rather a matter of military savvy.

Perhaps Qin Yi is even more likely to fall for their trap than the two of them...

"We must act." Someone Divine Sense thoughts. "Taking advantage of Qin Yi's current mental struggle is the best opportunity. If we delay, once Qin Yi regains consciousness, we can forget about it."

"You've come too?" one of the men said happily. "Great! With the two of us here, our chances of winning are much higher. Let's attack together."

"Good."

Two beams of light from the Law Treasure flashed out from the shadows at the same time, both targeting Qin Yi.

Clearly, attacking Qin Yi would throw the two women into disarray, and would be more effective than attacking them themselves.

With their left and right gun rings striking out simultaneously, they tacitly intercepted the two Law Treasure attacks. Both of them then staggered, clearly having suffered a hidden loss.

The origins of both Law Treasure were unknown, and the light emanating from their attacks was that of the peak of the Cloud Ascension Realm and the mid-stage of the Cloud Ascension Realm, respectively.

Li Qingjun was at the third level of Bone Forging, while Cheng Cheng's physical body was only at the second level of Cloud Ascension. If their cultivation methods hadn't been exceptionally unique, they could have been seriously injured by this attack alone.

But in the end, it was blocked.

Following the light of the Law Treasure, two figures rushed forward simultaneously.

"It really is you, the Scheming Sect!" Both of them recognized Zheng Yunyi at a glance.

The other person was also one of the three contestants from the Scheming Sect. Only then did they realize that this person was actually at the peak of the Cloud Ascension Realm!

"This is not a bone age below 200 at all. You used deception to cover it up before. No wonder he never made a move. He was afraid of being exposed."

"There are more than three of you from the Scheming Sect who have entered; there are probably others of similar level who are currently dealing with someone else?"

The man cackled, "You know far too much!"

The Spike Cone in his hand gleamed once more.

Cheng Cheng placed one hand on Li Qingjun's shoulder, Li Qingjun's spear shot out like a dragon, carrying a rapidly spinning spear light, piercing straight through the side of the Spike Cone.

"Choke!"

Instead, the man was forced to take two steps back, which greatly surprised him.

Why has Li Qingjun's spear technique suddenly become stronger?

His gaze fell on Chengcheng's hand Cheng Cheng on Li Qingjun's shoulder, and he seemed to understand something. This is... a dedicated support role?

The Giant Strength Art? Even those who specialize in support rarely practice this type of support Technique Method. Could she be a dedicated support Martial Cultivation?

That's right, Cheng Cheng body is specifically trained for support roles. As for her physical body alone, her attacks rely entirely on Law Treasure.

With a "whoosh!" the golden ring flew out and entangled Zheng Yunyi's fan. The fan was about to open and release something, but it was tightly held by the golden ring and could not be used at all.

"A formidable woman." The woman wielding the Spike Cone chuckled, and a Serpent Staff suddenly appeared in her hand.

This is a Witcher.

Li Qingjun thrust her spear forward.

The best strategy for Martial Cultivation practitioners to fight against magic practitioners is to prevent them from having the opportunity to use their Law Treasure, just like the fighting style that made countless opponents feel extremely frustrated during Qin Yi's previous competition.

The Serpent Staff, originally carved with a serpent's head, suddenly opened wide and bit down hard on Li Qingjun's spear tip, while poisonous mist overflowed from its mouth. Li Qingjun had suffered from the aftereffects of this kind of move since her debut, and almost subconsciously activated the Startling Dragon Jade Pendant.

The Startling Dragon Jade Pendant shone brightly, and all the poison was reversed.

At the same time, the snake-like eyes on the Serpent Staff looked at Cheng Cheng.

Witchcraft: Turn Frog.

Cheng Cheng did not react.

The Witcher was taken aback. "What's going on?"

Cheng Cheng was speechless. Although it had a human form, its essence was still that of the Chenghuang. Heaven knows what you were thinking, trying to turn a Chenghuang into a frog...

In that instant, Li Qingjun's spear had already torn the snake's head to shreds, and then the spear's light surged, heading straight for the Witcher's face.

Two terrifying women... The Witcher was having a real headache. One was violent and fierce, the other was strange and eccentric. His various spells, which had always worked on others, seemed to have no effect at all.

If these opponents can cooperate seamlessly, then even a cultivator at the peak of the Cloud Realm cannot be guaranteed victory in a short time. That's why it's necessary to separate them.

But why isn't Zheng Yunyi cooperating? He's bound by a mere golden ring? What a waste!

The Witcher swiftly dodged the spear's edge, frowning inwardly. He knew that once Qin Yi woke up, if the three of them cooperated, they'd be lucky to escape, let alone win. Fortunately, Qin Yi still had at least half an incense stick's time...

Just then, a Wolf Tooth Club came crashing down in the direction he was dodging the spear's edge.

The Witcher looked on in astonishment. Qin Yi's eyes were still glazed over, clearly not awake, but he was shouting, "You're not Cheng Cheng at all! You're trying to fool me! Die!"

The Witcher nearly coughed up blood. What the hell did you just see?!
