However, each time a mer...In the team of five, Qin, the leader, looked around and said, “I remember there used to be an abandoned mine shaft near here. It's strange, I can't find it anywhere.”

"Sister Hu, are you sure you remember correctly"

"No, Brother Qin said, "Back when Brother Xie was still at the Yunhe battlefield, he brought me here once. I remember it very clearly, it's right around here."

>

"Qin Shixiong, while speaking, led several people down, looking around in confusion. Finally, he fixed his gaze on a certain spot."

He stepped forward, pushing aside the waist-high grass, then gently raised his hand and pressed it against the stone wall ahead...

A strange scene unfolded. His hand, as he reached out, was pressed against the stone wall, but it felt like he was pressing against empty air. When ripples spread across the stone wall, they swallowed half of his palm.

"As I expected, this is the place!"

"Could this be... a concealing formation" Senior Sister Hu also seemed to have noticed something.

Such a place, deliberately arranged with concealing formations, undoubtedly pointed to some issues. Moreover, it was still within the range where Lu Yiye last appeared. A thought that couldn't be suppressed suddenly popped into both of their minds at the same time.

Their eyes met, and both of them were startled.

Lu Yiye is inside!

The concealing formation at the mouth of the cave was set up by Lu Yiye!

My heart pounded with excitement. Hu Jie lowered her voice and said, "Brother Qin, what should we do"

Although they had been searching for Lu Ye's whereabouts before, the number of cultivators looking for him now was so great that they didn't feel like they could get there any faster than anyone else.

As for luck, it's really hard to say. They just happened to be the first ones to make the discovery.

Although Lu Ye was not present, a concealing formation had been added to the entrance of the mine shaft in this location. Anyone could see the signs.

Now, Lu Yiye was badly injured and desperately needed a hidden and safe place to recover. Somehow, he found this place and hid inside, setting up an array to conceal the mine shaft entrance.

If Brother Qin hadn't been here before, and had no recollection of this mine shaft's location, it would have been impossible to find.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Qin Shixiong calmed himself and with a gesture said, “Let’s go!”

Then, Hu Shijie followed closely behind. The remaining three people also entered one after another.

As they entered the mine shaft, the light dimmed significantly. A few people, led by Qin Shixiong, cautiously made their way forward.

The ghost shadow at the rear of the team suddenly felt a warning in his heart. His heart began to beat wildly, as if there was a great danger ahead.

He hurriedly cried out, “Senior Brother Qin!”

The voice was not loud, but in this silent environment, it was incredibly jarring. A few people were already being careful, not even daring to breathe, and now they were all startled by the ghostly figure's exclamation.

Just as Senior Brother Qin was about to turn around, a sudden burst of firelight appeared in his field of vision. Immediately following it, a powerful surge of spiritual energy swept towards him from the front.

"Retreat!" he roared, and as he spoke, his entire body surged backward. But even so, the shockwave that crashed against him sent him tumbling through the air. The group behind him was tossed together in a chaotic heap.

"Cough cough cough..."

Amidst the dust and chaos, several figures struggled to their feet, each feeling stars dancing before their eyes and a ringing in their ears.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After a moment of stunned silence, everyone gradually came to their senses.

"Qin shishxiong, are you alright" Hu Shishu asked nervously.

It was precisely because of the ghostly apparition's shout that he instinctively stopped in his tracks, narrowly avoiding disaster. Although he sustained injuries, they weren't serious.

"It's a blast formation!" Qin Shidi immediately judged, "Get out quickly!"

This Blast Formation thing, if there's one, there's bound to be a second… Now that he's suffered a loss, Senior Brother Qin dares not act recklessly anymore.

Several figures landed in front of them as soon as they retreated from the mine. Many more streaks of light were rushing towards them from all directions.

When the explosion of the array just now went off, it caused quite a stir, attracting a large number of Demon Valley cultivators who were searching in the vicinity.

In a short while, over twenty people gathered here…

At the beginning, the cultivators who came were not very powerful, all below the sixth level.

But as time passed, gradually there were seven-layered and eight-layered realms appearing. By midday, the first nine-layered realm expert appeared before the mine entrance.

Song Zhui and his party arrived not too late. Upon receiving the news, they immediately rushed this way, flying without regard for their own spiritual energy consumption.

Upon arriving, he saw that the mountains and plains were filled with cultivators. There were at least eight hundred cultivators gathered here, and their numbers were still increasing.

What puzzled him was that although there were many cultivators gathered here, they seemed to be doing nothing, just waiting.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, as if someone had been injured.

Song Zhu saw several familiar faces and flew straight towards one of them, landing in front of the person and bowing. "Brother Zizai," he said.

This person was none other than Ning Zi, whom Song Zhuo had met face to face in the depths of Taimang Mountain before.

"Song brother has come as well." Ning Zi was polite in his response.

"What's the situation now" Song Zhu asked.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ning Zizai said: "It can be basically confirmed that Lu Yiye is hiding inside, but we can't force our way in."

"Why" Song Zhuo was puzzled. Since they had confirmed Lu Yiye was hiding there, with so many Wan Mo Ling cultivators, even if they charged in directly, Lu Yiye would undoubtedly be killed.

"There was a winding mine shaft within, leading to an excavated cavern. Lu Yiye had set up numerous explosive formations within that shaft. Some had already tried to charge in, but either died or were seriously injured. Even that person over there...didn't succeed." Ning Zizai said this, gesturing in a direction.

Song chased after the sound and turned his head. He saw a man sitting cross-legged on the ground over there. This man was extremely muscular, even sitting cross-legged on the ground, he was only one head shorter than the nearby cultivators. One could imagine how tall he would be if he stood up.

With such a physique and build, he is undoubtedly a body cultivator, and an extremely powerful one at that. However, this body cultivator is covered in bloodstains right now, his face slightly pale. He appears to be quite seriously injured.ll present; there wouldn't be any woman outside who would like you."Lu Ye's face was speechless.Yu Qing pursed her lips and smiled playfully: "Alright, I'm done teasing you.
