The two old men felt a jumble of emotions toward the young cultivator before them.
They had only just entered Black Mist Island when one of their companions was captured and killed by the other party. Although his Nascent Soul was still intact, its complete destruction was only a matter of time.
And both of them had each handed over a wisp of their souls, placing themselves under the other's control.
The two old men were both renowned figures in the Miasma Sea. Hundreds of years ago, when Black Mist Island opened, the old man surnamed Wei had accidentally entered this cave with two fellow Daoists and discovered the restriction that Qin Fengming had broken earlier.
The moment those two companions stepped into the cave entrance, they suddenly vanished without a trace. The cautious old man surnamed Wei immediately halted and did not dare take another step forward.
Yet no matter how he attacked, he could not break through that restriction, which gave off almost no energy fluctuations.
Nor could the two people who had entered send out the slightest sound.
He had no idea what terrifying existence lay inside. The two fellow Daoists who had entered had also fallen utterly silent, naturally making the old man wary.
The two cultivators who had entered still had not emerged by the time Black Mist Island closed, leaving the old man even more terrified.
This time, he had returned for the sake of combining the strength of three people to break the restriction and see what mysterious existence lay inside.
Now, seeing the two skeletons whose robes remained as bright as ever, the old man surnamed Wei naturally knew they were the corpses of the two cultivators who had accompanied him last time. Recalling it now still left him shaken with fear.
