The next day, at dusk.
The Ice Cave was brightly lit. Several ape-like monsters, three to four meters tall and covered in white fur, leaped one after another into the Bottomless Pool.
Chen Mu stood nearby, carefully sensing the essence stored within.
"Still, there hasn't been enough time." He shook his head with a sigh.
The number of Yin Soul Monsters capable of controlling Yellow Springs Crossing had only just exceeded three thousand.
Of the six Vermilion Feather Swords, he had only calculated half the positions that could serve as Ghost Gate Pass landing points.
"If I had another half month, I could leave this Cave Heaven calmly. What a pity..." Chen Mu shot Lian Xi an unfriendly glance.
Lian Xi's heart clenched.
He isn't thinking of killing me to vent his anger, is he?
He hurriedly bowed and cupped his fists in apology. "It was my greed for the Dragon Pearl Spiritual Mechanism that brought such trouble upon you, sir. I beg your forgiveness."
"If you know you're guilty, then find a way to buy me a few more days!" Chen Mu could not help glaring at him.
That was what he said, but Chen Mu knew in his heart that treasures stirred people's desires. Even without Lian Xi's attack, there might have been some Zhang Xi or Li Xi instead.
After only a brief inquiry yesterday, he had essentially confirmed it. The two silver-white currents that had entered Yin Fault Yang Deviation were the so-called Dragon Pearl Spiritual Mechanism. Qiu Jinwu had sold the entire Goose Sheep Dao for this very thing.
If not for the Breath-Sealing Stone concealing its aura, and if not for the Dragon Pearl Spiritual Mechanism's own wonders, perhaps Qiu Jinwu himself would have come this time instead of Lian Xi.
