A Token of Trust, a Long and Arduous Road Ahead

Han Xiangzi was taken aback.

"That's right, it's a token."

The old man nodded, then slightly flipped his palm, revealing a jet-black jade tablet. The tablet looked ordinary, without anything special about it, but in Han Xiangzi's opinion, what the old man had given him was definitely not an ordinary jade tablet.

Sure enough, the old man continued, "Alliance Leader Ye, this is a token of our Divine Artifact Pavilion, a jade pendant. This jade pendant can protect your safety. If you encounter danger, this jade pendant will sound an alarm, and I will be able to sense your location and immediately appear by your side to rescue you."

The old man looked at Han Xiangzi and slowly explained.

"This jade pendant is truly a fine piece."

Han Xiangzi's eyes lit up when he saw the jade pendant in the old man's hand.

"Yes, this jade pendant is a top-grade Divine Artifact called 'Heavenly Meteorite.' It can emit sound, protect its host, and defend against Divine Sense attacks from those at the Divine Venerable Realm. If the host's Divine Sense is not strong enough, they will not be able to detect this Heavenly Meteorite."

As the old man spoke, he took out a round bead.

The bead looked very ancient, but as soon as it was taken out, it immediately emitted a rich aura. This aura was very ancient and weathered, giving people a very comfortable feeling, as if a great mountain was pressing down on their hearts.

Looking at the bead, Han Xiangzi was deeply moved.

"Senior, I'll accept this jade pendant. However, I still don't know what your token is, or how I can find it."

Han Xiangzi asked.

"It's very simple. Just infuse your breath into this bracelet on your wrist, and I will know your location."

The old man said, "As long as you infuse your aura into the bracelet, my Divine Sense will know your location, and you will be able to find me."

"I see!"

Han Xiangzi nodded, and then channeled his Divine Sense into the round jade pendant.

Instantly, the jade pendant emitted a dazzling purple light, which spread throughout the entire cave abode.

"Huh!"

The old man's face showed surprise when he saw this.

He never expected that Han Xiangzi's Divine Sense power was so terrifying that it could directly force his Divine Sense out of his body.

His Divine Sense was that of a master at the Divine Venerable Realm, and moreover, at the peak of the Divine Venerable Realm.

However, his Divine Sense strength was simply no match for Han Xiangzi's Divine Sense.

If Han Xiangzi knew that this old man had been so easily intimidated, he would be incredibly surprised.

"Alright, that's my way of dropping you off."

As the old man spoke, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Han Xiangzi, and then his figure disappeared into the cave abode.

"Alright, you can go in now."

After the old man left, Han Xiangzi immediately spoke.

"Um."

Han Xiangzi nodded and went into the cave abode.

Han Xiangzi followed the man in black into the cave abode.

As soon as Han Xiangzi entered the cave abode, he saw a huge passage leading out. Around the passage were rows of lantern-like orbs of light, each carved with strange runes, clearly some mysterious and powerful restrictions.

But ahead in the passage was complete darkness.

Han Xiangzi did not hesitate and immediately flew out, arriving at the front of the dark passage. He stopped and then used his Divine Sense to explore the passage ahead.

Han Xiangzi's Divine Sense quickly scanned ahead, and soon he clearly saw the situation ahead: an endless black space with no end in sight.

However, Han Xiangzi's Divine Sense did not detect any signs of life.

In other words, there is no sign of life in this underground area.

"Where exactly is this place?"

Han Xiangzi was slightly startled.

"Could this be the 'Yin Spirit Ghost Valley' that those people were talking about?"

Han Xiangzi thought to himself, "This seems to be the entrance to a 'Yin Spirit Ghost Valley,' but I can't be sure if this is indeed the 'Yin Spirit Ghost Valley.' I wonder if this 'Yin Spirit Ghost Valley' is related to the legendary Yin Spirit Ghost Domain."

However, Han Xiangzi quickly dismissed the thought in his mind, because he simply couldn't determine whether this was the 'Yin Spirit Ghost Domain' or not. After all, he had never heard of the 'Yin Spirit Ghost Valley' before, let alone seen it, nor had he ever heard of it, not even in the Immortal Devil Continent.

Thinking of this, Han Xiangzi didn't hesitate and immediately sped forward, wanting to see how long the passage was and where its end was.

"Whoosh!"

Han Xiangzi flashed away and immediately flew out.

"Boom!"

Just as Han Xiangzi rushed out, a deafening roar resounded. Han Xiangzi immediately turned around and saw dozens of enormous monsters chasing after him madly.

These monsters were enormous, with eight wings, each covered in sharp barbs. Their eyes were blood-red, and saliva dripped from their mouths, making them look extremely ferocious. In particular, their sharp fangs exuded a chilling aura.

Each of these enormous monsters possessed strength comparable to a super-powerful being at the Immortal Emperor Realm.

"So many Immortal Emperor Realm demonic Demon Beast!"

Upon seeing these giant Demon Beast, Han Xiangzi's expression changed.

He hadn't expected to encounter so many powerful monsters along the way, but in the end, he easily killed them all without breaking a sweat.

But now, facing the siege of dozens of super monsters at the Immortal Emperor Realm, he was immediately plunged into a bitter battle.

"These Demon Beast look incredibly powerful. As expected of Demon Race at the Divine Venerable Realm, they would be considered top-tier experts even on the Divine Martial Continent. If I'm not mistaken, these guys should be the legendary 'Yin Spirit Ghost Beast'!"

Han Xiangzi thought to himself, "Judging from the appearance of these Yin Spirit Ghost Beasts, they are clearly just like the Yin Spirit Ghost Beast in the legends."

However, it seems somewhat different from the Yin Spirit Ghost Beast of legend.

"Because in my memory, all the legendary Yin Spirit Ghost Beast were ugly, but these Yin Spirit Ghost Beast now are perfectly combined into a new type of Demon Race, and their strength has reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, completely different from the legendary Yin Spirit Ghost Beast."
