From Xu Bai's perspective, the entrance opposite was pitch black, with no light in sight.

Following the half-map, we hurried along, and at the last intersection, we found ourselves in a cave in a desolate mountain.

It was pitch black inside, and due to its depth, a chilling wind blew out from within, the faint sound of which made one's hair stand on end.

Upon hearing Xu Bai speak, Chu Yu reached into her robes and pulled out two peanut-sized beads, handing one of them to Xu Bai.

"The beads in my uncle's treasure trove can emit a bright light if infused with any of the five elements of essence, Essence, Qi, and Spirit, or spirit."

Xu Bai received the bead, felt its warmth, nodded, and looked at the dark entrance. Time was of the essence, and there was no time to think further. He took the lead and stepped inside.

"Stay behind me and be careful."

As soon as he stepped inside, he immediately felt a chill emanating from his surroundings, and the temperature dropped considerably.

The surrounding darkness was like ink, so thick it sent chills down his spine. Fortunately, once he entered the cave, the peanut-sized bead in his hand emitted bursts of light, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

The chilling feeling quickly disappeared as the light emanated. Looking at the bead in his hand, Xu Bai thought to himself that it was a treasure, because when the light shone, he felt a peaceful and serene aura emanating from the bead.

Anything that can be collected into the Imperial Treasury must be extraordinary. This bead calms the mind and has an unimaginable effect on stabilizing one's state of mind.

"Young Master, I feel a chill down my spine about what's in here, and the aura of disgust is getting stronger and stronger." Chu Yu walked in from outside, watching the darkness around him being dispelled by the light, but his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The feeling was extremely similar, just like the same feeling she had when she was in that lake before.

"If you have this feeling, then we've come to the right place. In any case, we should still be careful." Xu Bai said as he walked forward.

The last time Chu Yu experienced this situation was due to the corpses of the Great Feng Kingdom in the cave, and now the same situation has occurred again, which clearly indicates that something is unusual here.

This unusual situation is precisely what indicates that they have come to the right place; this should be their destination.

Xu Bai took out a map and walked quickly according to the instructions on it.

After Xu Bai spoke, Chu Yu understood what he meant, but said nothing and simply followed behind him with her head down.

Although both were traveling at a rapid pace, they were both wary of their surroundings to avoid any danger.

The cave path extended downwards, and as the two continued to walk deeper, they became further and further away from the ground.

The passageway is gradually narrowing until it can only allow one person to pass at a time.

Apart from the light emanating from the beads, everything was quiet and there was no danger.

"We've entered the tunnel."

The narrowness of the passage, similar to the previous lakebed, proves that they are already inside a tunnel.

"We encountered a lot of forks in the road just now. Luckily we had this map, otherwise we would have wasted a lot of time." Xu Bai turned to Chu Yu and said, "Is your feeling of disgust getting deeper and deeper?"

Chu Yu nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, it's getting deeper and deeper, which proves we haven't gone the wrong way."

Chu Yu was stunned as soon as she finished speaking.

Before her, Xu Bai's figure was fading, as if it had suddenly lost its color, disappearing at an extremely fast speed.

Chu Yu reacted quickly. She swiftly reached out and grabbed at Xu Bai's back, but her hand grasped nothing.

Not only that, the surrounding scenery was also fading, from darkness to transparency, then to blurriness, and finally back to clarity.

Once everything became clear, Chu Yu turned her head to look at the surrounding scenery and found herself outside the cave again.

"What's going on? Where's the young master? Why am I suddenly here again?" Chu Yu was full of questions and very anxious, completely confused about the current situation.

Looking at the dark cave entrance ahead, she became anxious and stepped inside.

Because it was her first time going through this route, she moved much faster this time.

But right at the very beginning, not far from where they had just entered the tunnel, the scene repeated itself, and they reappeared outside the cave.

"How could this happen?" Chu Yu was stunned.

But the current situation was too bizarre, and she couldn't help but think of the lesson Xu Bai had given her before, in which one sentence was of paramount importance.

The more dangerous the situation, the more important it is to think calmly. Panic is the prerequisite for falling into a desperate situation, while calmness is the key to breaking the deadlock.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu forced herself to calm down. Her mind raced, and everything she had learned in the Imperial Palace flashed through her mind like a movie. In the midst of this rapid process, she suddenly realized the reason.

"It's feng shui, a feng shui formation. Within feng shui, there are soldiers everywhere." Chu Yu's eyes widened slightly, and her heart trembled.

Now that the feng shui formation is complete, it signifies one thing—the person behind it all is here.

Once the feng shui arrangement is formed, everything within that arrangement becomes a weapon to attack people, and the fact that she was exposed must have been the work of someone behind the scenes.

"But why did he only send me out and not do anything else? Could there be some other unexpected event?" Chu Yu's mind raced, her heart filled with anxiety.

She has just been teleported out, and there is only Xu Bai inside. She is worried that Xu Bai will not be able to handle it.

But after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it and repeated her previous actions, going through it all again.

Halfway there, the scenery around them returned to the same state as before. This time, Chu Yu did not hesitate and maneuvered her flying sword to shoot out in all directions.

As the flying sword shot out, the surrounding scenery swayed for a moment, but quickly returned to calm.

"It can be hit, but my current strength is insufficient to completely break through it," Chu Yu thought to himself.

As the scenery gradually came into view, she reappeared outside the cave.

"No, my cousin and the others must have gone to a fake place. They'll be here soon. I need to keep trying to break the feng shui pattern. Once they arrive, we'll combine all our resources to break this feng shui arrangement." Chu Yu gritted her teeth, didn't stop, and continued with her previous actions.

"Young master, you must hold on. We'll be in to help you soon."

On one side, Chu Yu was already caught in a cycle, while on the other side, Xu Bai witnessed Chu Yu disappear.

The moment Chu Yu disappeared, before Xu Bai could even react, a voice rang out from the surroundings.

"Xu Bai".

The sound came from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint its direction or source.

Upon hearing the voice, Xu Bai drew his Ghost-Head Saber from his waist, and the dark light of his Vajra Heart Demon Body surged from his body. "So you've finally decided to come out and meet me?"

A gigantic vortex appeared in the darkness ahead, and from within it emerged a semi-transparent figure.

The man's face was covered in knife wounds, making him look extremely terrifying, and at this moment, he exuded a strange aura.

Although he was standing there, it didn't feel like he was standing there.

Between reality and illusion, it's impossible to tell whether what's standing in front of you is a person or something else.

"Don't worry, I just don't want that guy with the blood of the Great Chu Kingdom to interfere with my feng shui arrangement. After all, I don't have much energy to spare right now to deal with another expert like you."

His voice carried a sense of exhilaration at the prospect of avenging his great grudge, as if the person standing before him was not Xu Bai, but rather a dish to be devoured at his mercy.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is You Mu, a traitorous official of the Great Feng Kingdom." You Mu had a smile on his face, which made the surrounding scars look ferocious and terrifying.

"I have no interest whatsoever in someone who doesn't even dare to stand in front of me, and you have no right to even mention my name," Xu Bai said calmly.

Upon hearing this, You Mu showed no anger. Instead, he smiled and said, "I am indeed standing in front of you, but I am now one with the feng shui of the entire burial ground. I am the feng shui. All of this is thanks to you. If my jade hadn't been stolen, I wouldn't have paid such a price."

"Then you should thank me. Just say it, whether you want to do black or white stuff, just be direct." Xu Bai beckoned with his finger and said with a disdainful look.

"Fine, then I'll be blunt. I want your destiny. If you obediently agree, I'll reduce your suffering. That's better for both of us." You Mu said confidently, "You'll reduce your suffering, and I'll save time. After all, you can't defeat the entire feng shui arrangement."

"I don't understand. Why do you want my destiny?" Xu Bai suddenly changed his tone and asked, "I'm good at everything, but I'm very curious. Since you're already so confident, why don't you tell me how?"

You Mu narrowed his eyes. "What harm is there in telling you? If there is a lack of jade, I will sacrifice myself. But I overestimated the consumption here. And that woman with the blood of the Great Chu Kingdom is incompatible with the feng shui of the Great Feng Kingdom. She is not suitable at all. I don't need to spend a lot of money to deal with the two of you. Only you are the most suitable."

Xu Bai couldn't understand feng shui. After all, the feng shui of this world had no connection with his previous life. It was impossible to apply the feng shui of his previous life to the feng shui of this world, and he didn't understand the feng shui of his previous life either.

However, he still understood one of the underlying meanings.

This guy is clearly trying to kill him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai looked at the ugly person in front of him with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot and said, "Idiot."

The meaning is already quite clear from these two simple words.

You Mu was slightly taken aback, then shook his head, adopting an extremely arrogant demeanor. "Fine, since you don't want to die obediently, I'll beat you half to death and then steal your destiny."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind passed through his chest, but it did not cause him any harm.

Xu Bai sheathed his sword, his brows furrowing.

"I've already said that I've integrated with the authentic feng shui layout. Unless you find my true form, how can you possibly break the power of feng shui? You don't have that ability."

You Mu's figure gradually faded and soon disappeared.

After You Mu disappeared, everything around him began to change.

The narrow passage was widening to both sides, making it look much more spacious, but the crisis was not diminished in the slightest.

The surrounding walls, the ground, and even the boundless darkness seemed to come alive.

They possessed sentience, but this sentience represented endless killing intent.

All these deadly intentions were directed at Xu Bai. Under the feng shui arrangement, Xu Bai was caught in the middle and was targeted by the entire feng shui system.

"This feeling is pretty good, it's like being at odds with the world," Xu Bai said, gazing into the darkness ahead.

The moment he finished speaking, a spike suddenly appeared on the ground behind him, heading straight for his lower back.

"They lack martial ethics."

Why hit the waist of all places?

"Boom!"

Cracks appeared in the dark light of the Vajra Heart Demon Body, and a tremendous force pierced through, causing him to stagger.

Before he could react, he noticed that the surrounding walls were gradually closing in.

The darkness, mixed with the air, struck his chest like an invisible giant sword.

The dark light shook violently again, and more and more cracks appeared. Fortunately, Xu Bai used the Cosmic Shift in time to redirect the attack to another location.

Being situated within this feng shui configuration, Xu Bai is now being targeted by this world.

This feeling is very strange, like fighting against the heavens and earth, full of endless joy, but also bringing endless troubles.

Xu Bai held the Ghost-Head Saber in his hand and Severing Break Three Styles Breaking Techniques, blasting the gradually closing wall into countless fragments.

With his other hand, he slapped his waist, and countless copper coins swirled around him as he unleashed the Returning Wind Flowing Snow.

The darkness that attacked was disrupted by the copper coins and gradually disappeared without a trace.

"That was great!" Xu Bai's face lit up with excitement.

The opponent is very strong, especially since they have integrated themselves into the feng shui without regard for the cost, making them incredibly powerful.

At least for now, Xu Bai's inability to find the other party's true form is a huge problem, but the reason he feels happy is that he can use all his skills, and that feeling of exhilaration arises spontaneously.

Xu Bai had always thought that the loneliness of masters described in those novels was pure nonsense.

But as he gained more and more abilities, he rose from the ninth rank to the fifth rank, and none of his enemies could survive the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Now there is someone who can make him feel good, and that is indeed very good.

In the darkness, You Mu, hiding in the shadows, was filled with astonishment.

"This man is outrageously strong!"

As Feng Shui Master, he was well aware of the function of this feng shui formation.

Among the five ranks, almost no one could rival him, since no one could possibly contend with the heavens and earth within the feng shui formation.

But the man in front of me did it.

Not only did they achieve it, but they even firmly held the upper hand.

What does it mean to be in a dominant position? It means that among people of the same level, very few can rival this man.

"What a pity. If this person had appeared in the Great Feng Kingdom back then, he would probably be famous all over the world by now," You Mu thought to himself.

Although shocked, You Mu remained completely calm.

Judging from the current situation, Xu Bai does have a clear advantage, but that's only the current situation.

You Mu's decision to choose this place as the site of the final battle was not without reason, as it contained a large number of corpses of the Great Feng Kingdom.

These corpses were his constant supply.

He has a continuous supply, while the other side does not, which is enough to slowly wear down the other side until they are exhausted, and then he can go up and reap the benefits.

"Hurry up!" You Mu activated the power of Feng Shui, continuously extracting power from the hundreds of corpses.

He quickened his pace because he knew that Xu Bai wasn't the only one here; several other people hadn't arrived yet. If they did, and managed to break through the illusion he had created to get here, he would probably be completely finished.

He didn't choose to deal with Chu Yu before, firstly because Chu Yu's destiny was that of the royal family of the Great Chu Kingdom, which was incompatible with his own.

He didn't kill Chu Yu directly because Chu Yu was also a master, and that would have taken a toll on him.

What he wants to do now is to eliminate Xu Bai with all his might.

Xu Bai, who was launching a vigorous and unrestrained attack, suddenly frowned. He felt the pressure of the surrounding world suddenly increase, and the frequency of the attacks coming at him increased.

"You can't wait? Fine, I can't wait either." Xu Bai thought to himself, his eyes narrowing slightly.

We've had our fill of fun. Now, the next step is to find that guy and kill him completely.

As for how to find it, Xu Bai had his own methods.

When I first started chatting with this guy, he said he would beat him half to death before he came out.

Since that's the case, then so be it. I'll be beaten half to death, and this guy will finally come out, right?

With that in mind, Xu Bai continued his attack at the same pace he had started, but this pace was mixed with a touch of performance.

The performance was seamless; his rhythm was slowing down, as if he were gradually struggling.

After a while, the dark light on his body suddenly shattered.

Spikes appeared on the wall and pierced through Xu Bai's chest.

"Damn, that really hurts!"

Xu Bai rolled his eyes, feeling that after acting in so many scenes, the price he paid for this performance was quite high.

Before he could think any further, many spikes appeared around him, piercing his limbs from different angles.

Xu Bai raised an eyebrow. The pain was so intense that it made him numb. Even the Golden Silk Armor he had obtained for the first time at the Fierce Tiger Stronghold had turned into countless fragments. However, he did not scream. Instead, he looked into the darkness not far away.

You Mu emerged from the darkness, a smile plastered on his terrifying face, "Too bad, I'm the winner."

Looking at the various wounds on Xu Bai's body, he already had a plan in mind.

These were all serious injuries, and as someone part of this feng shui layout, he could certainly sense it.

Having suffered such severe injuries, Xu Bai was unable to move at all, so how could he possibly resist? Therefore, he walked out confidently.

"Don't blame me, you are a worthy opponent, but I need to steal your destiny, so I must keep you alive." You Mu came to Xu Bai and shook his head. "But don't worry, I will accompany you on the road to the underworld."

Xu Bai glared at You Mu, wanting to speak but unable to, instead coughing up a mouthful of blood.

This is definitely not an act; it's a genuine experience.

That fucking hurts!

I knew I shouldn't have gone to such lengths.

But now that this guy has appeared, let's wait and see.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai's anger deepened.

"Sigh, we're both going to die anyway, why hold onto such resentment?" You Mu sighed, raised his right hand, and, imbued with the power of feng shui, pressed it onto Xu Bai's head.

Xu Bai felt the touch on his head, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, You Mu noticed Xu Bai's expression and felt a sense of foreboding.

No, he has already suffered irreparable serious injuries, how could he possibly still have the strength to resist?

If they were outside, he might be able to tell that Xu Bai was lying and acting, but now that he was in his feng shui, he could sense that Xu Bai had no chance of faking it; this was indeed a serious injury that he could not resist.

However, sometimes things tend to go in the opposite direction.

Xu Bai's lips curled up as his True Yuan Power was rapidly depleted, at a rate as fast as drinking water. In the blink of an eye, his True Yuan Power was completely gone.

As all his True Yuan Power was depleted, his injuries began to heal at a visible rate.

It was incredibly fast.

Undying Body.

As long as the True Yuan Power remains, the physical body will not perish.

The more severe the injury, the more True Yuan Power is consumed. This has nothing to do with the speed of repair. If he consumes all his True Yuan Power at once, his wounds will heal at the fastest speed.

It's alright if your internal True Yuan Power is depleted.

—A Strengthening Kidney Method!

The next moment, a warm current flowed through his kidneys, and then his true energy was rapidly replenished.

Copper coins flashed past the money pouch at his waist, piercing through You Mu's entire body in a dense array.

"Ah—" You Mu trembled all over and let out a scream.

He was originally semi-transparent, and after being attacked, his transparency gradually increased, indicating that he had suffered great damage.

Without wasting words, Xu Bai manipulated the copper coin to return rapidly, piercing You Mu's entire body once again. At the same time, he drew his Ghost-Head Saber, the blade's light turning into afterimages, densely enveloping You Mu from top to bottom.

"Impossible! How could you possibly resist?"

Amidst the screams, there were also voices of surprise and uncertainty, clearly indicating that this scene had exceeded You Mu's common sense.

What kind of person is this?! Is such an outrageous ability to recover even possible for a human?

He felt that he was not fighting against a person, but against an incomparably powerful monster, a monster that made him tremble all over.

But no one answered his mutterings. At this moment, Xu Bai's face was full of murderous intent, which made people's scalps tingle.

Each cut was faster than the last, the copper coins flying like shooting stars.

You Mu could feel that he was about to die. He was already destined to die, and now he had suffered such a heavy blow. He didn't have much time left.

"Since I can't steal all of your destiny, I can steal as much as I can. I can't change the feng shui of this half of Yunlai Prefecture, but I can make all the tunnels collapse."

You Mu knew very well that he was doomed, but he couldn't let the other party have an easy time before he died.

He originally intended to destroy half of the feng shui, turning this place into a dead end, but now he has no choice but to settle for second best.

After all, he couldn't steal all of Xu Bai's destiny; he could only steal a little, and then cause half of the tunnel to collapse.

Half of Yunlai Prefecture was built on the tunnel. If this half of the tunnel were to collapse, this half of Yunlai Prefecture would instantly turn into ruins.

However, compared to directly changing the feng shui, letting it collapse, although turning it into ruins, allows it to be rebuilt.

You Mu no longer cared; a dying person always goes crazy, and he will bring whatever price he can.

Thinking of this, he frantically activated the Feng Shui power within his body, and then, ignoring the pain in his body, began to steal Xu Bai's destiny.

Originally, Xu Bai would have been able to steal everything if he had no power to resist, but now he can only get a tiny bit at most.

Before You Mu's eyes, a trace of Xu Bai's destiny was drawn out and surged into him.

The next moment, You Mu was stunned.

What did I see?

Feng Shui Master can steal someone's destiny and see something related to that person. At this moment, You Mu stared blankly at the scene before him.

A series of sounds, like the voices of gods and demons, surged around Xu Bai. Behind Xu Bai, darkness and light suddenly appeared, intertwining and engulfing each other, their entanglement carrying a sense of harmony.

Above the darkness and light was a face whose features were indistinct.

Half of this face radiated a holy light, while the other half was withered bones.

The intertwining of holiness and evil, yet their ability to blend together so seamlessly, creates a jarring and unsettling effect.

You Mu was lost, completely lost within it.

He seemed to see a person sitting on a cloud, ethereal and otherworldly.

But beneath these clouds lay a mountain of corpses, exuding an eerie aura.

You Mu was deeply shaken. He was speechless, but his heart was screaming.

"A position too high to be looked at, an abyss too deep to fathom, the number one destiny in the world, a destiny that only appears in legends, the Fate Without Fate, how could it possibly appear on him!"

You Mu screamed inwardly, but his chance was gone.

Xu Bai raised his hand and brought down his knife, severing You Mu's life completely with the final blow.

The surrounding scenery disappeared, and he returned to the narrow passage.

"Phew..." Xu Bai let out a long breath and wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"Today was really great."

It was really exciting. This You Mu was very strong, but there was one thing he didn't understand: why did You Mu show such a shocked expression before he died, as if he had seen a ghost?

He couldn't stop to ask questions during the life-or-death battle, and now that the other party is dead, there's nothing left to ask.

It doesn't matter, I'm dead anyway.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai sheathed the Ghost-Head Saber saber, looked at the darkness ahead, and pondered for a moment.

He was wondering whether he should go and take a look, but unexpectedly, he heard footsteps behind him.

Xu Bai turned around and saw a figure rushing towards him and falling into his arms.

"Waaah, young master, I thought you were dead." Without saying a word, Chu Yu grabbed his sleeve and wiped the tears from her face.

Behind Chu Yu, Yun Zihai, Qin Feng, and the Black Robed Man breathed a sigh of relief.

They sensed something was wrong and realized they had gone to the wrong place. They rushed over and saw Chu Yu trying things out repeatedly.

Chu Yu was in a state of extreme panic at that time, and no matter how calm she tried, she couldn't calm down.

During this time, Xu Bai's teachings had already been etched in her mind. Unable to break through his defenses, Chu Yu became increasingly anxious, almost to the point of tears, and now she did indeed cry.

"Brother Xu, it's good that you're alright. Let's hurry and find the person behind this and take care of him." Yun Zihai also breathed a sigh of relief.

In his mind, Xu Bai was like a confidant, and the two got along particularly well, so he naturally couldn't bear to see this scene.

Xu Bai pushed Chu Yu away and said with disgust, "You can wipe your tears, but don't stick your snot on me."

So what if she's beautiful? Her snot is still dirty, okay?

Xu Bai holds this view.

I used to see girls posting workout photos on their phones when I was watching videos, especially when they were facing away from the mirror and sticking their backs out so high that it looked like their pelvis was tilted forward.

The key point is that there are also a lot of people commenting that it looks good.

Xu Bai was puzzled at the time and left a comment, but he was blocked by the other party immediately.

The comments were simple. "With such a beautiful butt, doesn't it poop?"

He felt he was just telling the truth, but he never expected it would break the other person's defenses so quickly.

Alas, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

When Xu Bai said that, Chu Yu quickly shrank back, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, wiped her face, and didn't dare to look up, feeling a little embarrassed.

"There's no need to look for anyone behind this; they're already dead," Xu Bai said calmly.

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent. Even Chu Yu stopped wiping her face and stared at Xu Bai in disbelief.

Xu Bai recounted the general events, and the surroundings became even quieter.

"Brother Xu, are you really not one of those old monsters reincarnated?" Yun Zihai had asked this question for what felt like the umpteenth time.

"Well, I lost to you, it's not a loss." Qin Feng proudly raised his head, his words clearly indicating that he had admitted defeat.

Chu Yu remained silent, thinking to herself, "Should I fight for my uncle or my father?"

The Black Robed Man was the most pathetic. Although he didn't say anything, his expression betrayed him; his mouth was practically agape.

Xu Bai waved his hand and said, "Standard procedure."

Everyone's lips twitched, realizing that their hasty rush to the scene had been a mistake.

"Shall we go back now?" Yun Zihai asked.

Now that we've resolved this situation, it's time to head back.

Xu Bai thought for a moment and was about to speak when Chu Yu spoke first.

"Young Master, I can still feel that aversion." Chu Yu raised her head, tilting her snow-white neck back, and said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai frowned and turned to look at Yun Zihai.

The same fierce aura that Yun Zihai had encountered at the bottom of the lake reappeared.

"Could it be related to the corpses from the Great Feng Kingdom?" Xu Bai asked.

The Black Robed Man shook his head. "I've been by his side for a long time and I understand some things. This Feng Shui Master is dead, and the feng shui formation has been broken. We shouldn't have any further impact on them."

"Then what is the reason?" Xu Bai frowned even more deeply.

Chu Yu shook her head, her face full of confusion.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

"Thump... thump... thump..."

Footsteps echoed through the dark passage ahead.
