The man did not deceive Ye Feng, and soon he followed the man's method to open the mechanism. As the mechanism was activated, a creaking sound came from nearby, revealing a pitch-black passage that seemed bottomless!
Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and slowly walked downwards!
Just as he entered the tunnel, a chilling aura immediately enveloped him! Ye Feng couldn't help but shiver and said, "It's so cold in here!"
Xuan Lao immediately responded, "Just as I suspected! Kid, if what I think it is really exists, it could be a great opportunity for you!"
Ye Feng was puzzled, and Old Xuan was unwilling to elaborate further. He shrugged off the thought and continued forward!
The further he walked, the brighter it became. Deep within the passage, gems resembling those found in the deep sea began to appear more frequently. Out of curiosity, Ye Feng casually pried one off the wall and examined it closely. He discovered that there was an unknown substance inside the gem that caused it to emit a glow similar to that of white Tian Yi at night!
After thinking for a moment, he decided to hide the gem in his pocket; it might come in handy later.
Ye Feng continued deeper into the tunnel and soon faced a choice: in front of him was a fork in the path, with bright light on the left and darkness on the right!
"Xuan Lao, can you sense which path we should take?" Ye Feng whispered.
Unfortunately, Xuan Lao remained silent as if he were asleep.
"This old guy never reacts at crucial moments. Forget it; I'll rely on myself," Ye Feng muttered quietly.
Soon, his True Essence began to flow out continuously. He first directed his True Essence towards the brightly lit path. As he released his True Essence, a powerful pressure emanated from within the passage. Ye Feng noticed that the stronger his release of True Essence was, the more intense the pressure returned.
Could it be that there is a beast imprisoned within this passage?
After standing still for a while, he ultimately decided to venture forward and investigate!
The passage was as bright as day, and Ye Feng didn't have to worry about visibility. However, the deeper he walked, the more uneasy he felt. His mood grew increasingly restless.
After about half an hour, he finally reached the end. Unfortunately, there was nothing there except for a stone table and four stone chairs. The table was completely empty.
Ye Feng frowned; it seemed this place was just a simple secret chamber and not a prison for beasts.
Thinking this, he didn't linger and turned to leave.
However, just as he turned around, he suddenly sensed a faint aura coming from deep within the stone chamber!
Yet when he looked around, there was nothing in sight. How could there be such a weak aura?
Could there be another hidden chamber?
Ye Feng immediately pressed against the wall and carefully knocked on it. After some exploration, he indeed found that one of the walls in the southwest direction was hollow.
In fact, Ye Feng was quite fortunate. Earlier, the man from the Evil Sect had tried every means to stop him from descending. It wasn't mere threats or exaggerations; there were indeed numerous dangers beneath the altar. Not to mention the unseen beasts, even just choosing this path posed many risks.
First, there were two forks in the road. If an ordinary person like Ye Feng had chosen this path, they would have encountered the stone chamber and naturally turned back to choose the other path. However, once one entered that other path, it would be a point of no return.
Ye Feng himself didn't know that this faint aura was something most people wouldn't notice. Because he had cultivated the Innate Spirit Sense, his spiritual awareness was naturally much stronger!
Thus, everything seemed to be guided by fate. If he hadn't cultivated the Innate Spirit Sense and lacked such strong spiritual awareness, Ye Feng might have found himself in a dilemma.
Of course, Ye Feng would never know any of this!
Finding the hollow section, Ye Feng took out his Azure Dragon Sword and executed the Tide Sound Sword Technique. Dozens of sword lights instantly shattered the wall before him, followed by a massive surge of Vital Energy bursting forth from the other side of the wall.
Suddenly, propelled by a surge of Vital Energy, Ye Feng's body crashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Brushing off the dirt from his clothes, he muttered, "What bad luck!"
However, when he focused his gaze ahead, he was immediately stunned.
Before him stood a massive, blood-red, bizarre beast, its eyes wide open and fixated on him. Those eyes glowed with a flickering emerald light!
At the same time, far above on the ground, Jiang Shiji suddenly opened his eyes and stared intently in the direction of the altar, roaring, "Damn it! Who dares to intrude in there!"
Without another word, he dashed straight toward Ye Feng!
"You little brat, you really have some guts to come here. Don't you fear for your life?"
"You can talk!" Ye Feng exclaimed in shock, quickly retreating and positioning the Azure Dragon Sword defensively across his chest.
"Don't worry. I am already trapped and won't harm you. I see no threat coming from you."
Hearing this, Ye Feng noticed that the strange beast was indeed bound by enormous iron chains, barely able to move at all!
The beast's voice was feminine, making its gender clear without any doubt.
At that moment, Ye Feng took a closer look at the creature. It resembled neither a dragon nor a snake but had an odd appearance. However, two large golden horns atop its head contrasted sharply with its red body.
"Why are you here?" Ye Feng asked boldly.
The beast sighed and replied helplessly, "My strength is lacking. What can I do? This world is ruled by the strong. I was captured because I couldn't defeat them; what's so surprising about that?"
"But I can sense an extremely powerful force within you. In such a small place, who could possibly have the ability to subdue you? As far as I know, beasts that can speak are far more powerful than the cultivators in the Gangwu Realm."
The beast shifted its massive body and said, "You're not wrong. I didn't expect someone with mediocre strength to have such insight. I was captured when I was at my weakest; I had just fought to a standstill with my nemesis. That guy suddenly appeared, and we had no choice. In the end, my nemesis escaped while I was captured. It's mainly because they were interested in me, not in my nemesis."
Ye Feng nodded, feeling relieved. Indeed, if it weren't for this reason, he didn't believe anyone in White Tiger Hall could subdue it.
"Little one, you've caused such destruction here; they’ve likely noticed. You should hurry and escape while you can, or your life will be forfeit."
Ye Feng looked it up and down and sneered, "Such good intentions? Aren't you thinking of escaping yourself? Or do you have some ulterior motive?"
The beast cooled slightly and laughed heartily, saying, "What motive could I have? I'm just showing concern. If we're talking about motives, would you help me with something?"
Ye Feng hesitated and replied, "That depends on what exactly you want me to do."
"Don't worry; it's quite simple and won't bring you any harm." After saying this, the beast suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a flash of fiery red light passed by. Soon after, a blood-red egg appeared before Ye Feng.
"What is this?" Ye Feng stared curiously at the egg on the ground.
"This is what they want to obtain; it's an egg of our Flame Dragon Beast. If you have the chance to nurture it, it will definitely be of great help to you. Those who captured me have tried every means to get this thing from me, but I've never submitted. Now that I've met a decent young man like you, it's fulfilling a wish of mine. Take good care of it; don't let my lineage end here!"
Ye Feng picked up the dragon egg from the ground; it still retained a considerable warmth. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Are you really giving this to me?"
The Flame Dragon Beast nodded and continued, "Hurry and leave. Soon I will create a disturbance for you. Remember, don't let them discover you; otherwise, even if I die, I won't spare you!"
After saying this, before Ye Feng could respond, the massive head shook violently, and then a burst of flames shot out from its mouth.
With a loud bang, a large hole appeared in the wall above Ye Feng's head. Looking up, he saw the bright moon still hanging in the sky.
"Run!" Xuan Lao's voice suddenly echoed in Ye Feng's mind.
Without hesitation, Ye Feng pushed off the ground and rushed out through the opening.
At the same time, Jiang Shiji, who was hurrying over, suddenly saw a flash of purple light emerge from the ground. A figure flickered and vanished. Instinctively, he wanted to chase after it to see who had the audacity to invade the altar!
However, in the next moment, the ground began to tremble, and the Flame Dragon Beast below started to go wild. It felt like an earthquake, causing Jiang Shiji to lose his balance immediately.
Realizing something was wrong, he quickly dashed downward.
"You reckless fool, are you really trying to self-destruct your True Essence? You've been imprisoned for so long that your strength has diminished significantly. Even if you self-destruct your True Essence, can you kill us?" Jiang Shiji shouted angrily upon seeing the Flame Dragon Beast.
"Hmph, you dare to speak so arrogantly!" the Flame Dragon Beast roared as its body began to swell violently.
In just a few breaths, the ground erupted like a landslide, with thunderous sounds echoing continuously!
That night, the entire Dragon Tiger Sect was awakened. Not only the disciples of White Tiger Hall but even Bai Chengfeng and others were shocked. Soon after, all the elders within the sect, including some powerful Inner Sect Disciples, rushed toward White Tiger Hall!
