A diamond-shaped jade pendant suddenly appeared in Gou Jun's hand, emitting a faint white glow.

The white light condensed into a curtain of radiance, blocking the ghost mist outside.

Seeing that the ghost mist could no longer threaten him, a cold smile unconsciously crept onto Gou Jun's lips.

"Yang Yu has no means of resisting the ghost mist. I wonder what his reaction will be when he discovers it inside the cave?"

"Oh, and Lan Chen and the others."

"After struggling so hard to climb the stone steps, only to find they cannot enter the cave, what splendid expressions will they wear?"

"Besides, Yang Yu and I threw iron balls at the stone steps just now. They should have seen that already, shouldn't they?"

"I wonder whether they and Yang Yu will fight until one side dies?"

"Perhaps? Before they reach the summit, Yang Yu will have slaughtered them all?"

Malicious thoughts arose in Gou Jun's heart one after another.

He turned and began searching for Song Wen's whereabouts.

The ghost mist within Origin Cave was too dense—so dense that even Gou Jun, at the Nascent Soul peak, could only extend his spiritual sense ten zhang around himself.

Gou Jun found no trace of Song Wen and could not determine for the moment whether Song Wen had ventured deeper into the cave or was hiding in some nearby corner.

But he was certain that Yinshuo, a mere newly advanced Nascent Soul Cultivator, could not possibly possess a way to resist the ghost mist.

Thus, Gou Jun decided to remain at the cave entrance and wait by the tree stump for a rabbit.

He would wait for Yinshuo to walk straight into his net.

Yang Yu watched as Song Wen and Gou Jun entered Origin Cave one after the other.
