"Crash..."
Almost at the very instant the blood runes on the stone wall shattered.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss...!"
"Ah...!"
Piercing wails echoed through the Primordial Battlefield as countless vengeful souls seemed to lose the power sustaining them, dissolving into wisps of smoke.
Although gray mist still shrouded this space.
The Yin Baleful Qi within it began to weaken rapidly.
The crisis was completely over.
At that moment, Yuan Liekong held a pagoda wreathed in hazy yellow light in his palm. Sensing the astonishing energy it contained, he laughed heartily.
"Hahaha... I've finally recovered our tribe's Sacred Relic. This trip was well worth it."
The two mighty experts from the Mountain-Moving Demon Ape Tribe beside him also looked delighted.
Just then, Bai Miaoyin beckoned with her delicate hand, recalling a Jade Ruyi shimmering with rosy light into her grasp.
Sensing the treasure's wondrous properties, she toyed with it, unable to put it down.
"We finally retrieved it without any real danger."
"Clan Leader Bai, now that you have it, could you get down...?"
Gu Chenfeng's voice rose from below.
Only then did Bai Miaoyin, delighted at obtaining the treasure, realize that she was still wrapped around Gu Chenfeng.
She hurriedly uncoiled her long legs and drifted away from his body.
Her lovely face flushed faintly as she looked at Gu Chenfeng with bashful allure.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, I owe my smooth recovery of this Sacred Relic to you stepping forward.
I took advantage of you on this venture. Once we leave this place, I'll find a way to let you take advantage of me in return."
Gu Chenfeng offered no response to her slightly teasing words.
Instead, his brows suddenly furrowed.
"Hmm...?"
The next moment, Bai Miaoyin and Yuan Liekong also turned around simultaneously, seemingly sensing something amiss.
A moment later.
"Hehehe..."
