"Can anyone tell me what is going on here?" Ye Feng's expression was cold, his eyes radiating an icy aura. However, his true feelings were far from this. After exiting the Mural World, although he did not understand the situation of Zong Nan and the others, he could not fathom how things had escalated to this point. Whether it was Huang Yao or Cheng Ze, the Martial Techniques they unleashed were clearly lethal!
In comparison to Ye Feng, Zong Nan and the others were even more astonished. Feeling the cold and ruthless aura emanating from Ye Feng, they could not discern his current realm, leaving them feeling as if they were in sub-zero temperatures.
In this bizarre atmosphere, all previous anger seemed to melt away like ice. Huang Yao, being the most experienced among them, was the first to calm down. He let out a cold snort; this attitude could be seen as letting Cheng Ze off the hook, but his wariness towards Ye Feng was still quite evident.
Cheng Ze, overly excited and unable to think about Ye Feng's changes, exclaimed, "Are you alright?" His concern was palpable in his tone!
Zong Nan also stepped forward, looking around in amazement. "Wow! What happened? Did you eat some divine elixir? How did you make such incredible progress in such a short time?"
Faced with the warm inquiries from his two friends, Ye Feng slightly diminished the powerful aura he was releasing and helplessly replied, "Let's not talk about me for now. What about you guys? What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Zong Nan and Cheng Ze showed signs of embarrassment. However, they still felt some resentment. Under Huang Yao's meaningful gaze, they chose to set aside their grudges. After all, in an unknown territory, completely falling apart would not be a good thing. Even with Ye Feng's strong return, they still needed to unite!
This unity could be temporary but was nonetheless essential.
"Let's not dwell on that. It's good to see Brother Ye back safely; we are all relieved," Huang Yao broke the silence and said with a smile. His unpredictable nature even made his brother Huang Ge show disdain.
Ye Feng then shifted his gaze to these two. Although he did not fully understand the situation, he could roughly guess where the problem lay and couldn't help but chuckle as he replied, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Huang. I was momentarily out of my body and missed a critical moment; that was my fault. However, what you did earlier..."
"Wasn't it a bit too ruthless?" The subtle sarcasm made Huang Yao's expression slightly awkward, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "It's hard to explain everything in just a few words. More importantly, Brother Ye should think about how to lead us out of here!"
Ye Feng had previously been the leader of this group. Now that he had returned safely, Huang Yao wanted to shift all responsibility onto him. Though Ye Feng felt resentful inside, he still calmly accepted it and said, "I observed this black hole before coming here; it's actually a hidden good spot!"
"You must have encountered some danger that forced you to hide here?"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone realized the key point of the matter and couldn't help but show a hint of shame. Cheng Ze and the others briefly explained the situation to Ye Feng, who suddenly understood. Huang Yao also hesitantly said, "Brother Ye, since your soul has returned to your body, could you tell us what kind of extraordinary event you encountered?"
In his view, being drawn into that strange mural and not only surviving but also returning with an increased realm was nothing short of miraculous! This question lingered in everyone's minds.
However, there was another hidden issue that Ye Feng couldn't conveniently disclose. He could only brush it off and borrowed Huang Yao's earlier words, saying, "This matter cannot be explained in just a few words. Right now, I need to think about how to get out of here; after all, I can't stay hidden in this cursed place forever!"
Upon hearing this, Zong Nan and the others immediately agreed. Rather than discussing unimportant matters, they should focus on how Ye Feng's strong return could lead them out of this dangerous place. Huang Yao knew he had lost his cohesion and could only concur.
Thus, Ye Feng used his powerful Divine Soul to carefully investigate the black hole while simultaneously hearing Cheng Ze and the others' reminders: "We just checked every corner with torches and found nothing unusual; it seems like a closed environment!"
Listening while searching, Ye Feng indeed found this to be true. He couldn't help but wonder aloud, "Such a place existing in a heavily trapped Underground Palace seems too comfortable. Could it really be as you guessed, a refuge carved out by predecessors?"
Cheng Ze and the others couldn't come up with a better explanation either. However, Ye Feng unexpectedly discovered something different through his Soul Thought. In one corner of the black hole, it appeared incredibly smooth on the surface without any abnormalities. If this black hole were naturally formed, it certainly wouldn't be so even.
Ye Feng stepped forward for a closer inspection and frowned, saying, "There might be some passageway here. Have you tried knocking around to find any hidden compartments?"
Unexpectedly, Cheng Ze and the others had already attempted this and nearly caused a collapse of the black hole. They couldn't help but smile wryly: "Let's not do that again; we almost ended up harming ourselves!"
Without time to inquire further about the reasons behind it, Ye Feng's eyes lit up as he released an extremely special cold aura. This cold aura was transformed from the Ice Spirit Soul bestowed upon him by Haotian Shura True Monarch, possessing greater penetrating power than ordinary ice.
The cold air penetrated through the smooth stone and surprisingly detected a hollow space! Ye Feng immediately said, "No need to think anymore; it's right here. Strike this spot with all your might, and we will surely discover a passage!"
No one questioned his words; however, Cheng Ze and the others still expressed some concern: "What if another earthquake-like sound occurs?"
Ye Feng shook his head and replied, "Brute force might not work, but we can use our wits. Step aside; let me give it a try!"
Everyone was unaware of what tricks he was about to play, so they could only let him perform. Ye Feng focused intently, his gaze fixed on the stone wall, and then the expression in his eyes turned cold and merciless again. The temperature of the black hole suddenly dropped, as if it had transformed into a frigid landscape!
If they did not use True Energy to keep warm, Zong Nan and the others would have felt a shiver run through them. To their astonishment, ice spikes actually began to seep out from within the black hole! This was the result of Ye Feng's Ice Spirit Aura being released, and the edges of the stone wall were visibly freezing rapidly!
Before long, amidst the shock and silence of the crowd, that seemingly artificially carved smooth stone wall turned into an incredibly smooth block of ice! Ye Feng was also drenched in cold sweat; it was his first time using such extraordinary abilities. Even with the support of Divine Soul, he felt somewhat overwhelmed!
After all, this release was far from as simple as just freezing the surface! Ye Feng took a deep breath and then shouted loudly, delivering a powerful punch! He struck fiercely at the ice block! Ultimately, it shattered with a crashing sound! The stone wall was hit hard and turned to powder, simultaneously revealing a circular underground passage!
The ability to concentrate force at one point without affecting the entire black hole was not something easily achieved; at least no one present could do it. With jealousy and apprehension, everyone looked at Ye Feng as if he were a monster, each harboring their own thoughts!
“Wow, did this guy eat some kind of strength-enhancing pill outside? So fierce!”
“Heavens, Brother Ye is making rapid progress in his cultivation path; it seems I can only look up to him now!”
“Damn it, what has this guy been through? Having his Soul Thought absorbed and still alive—how is that possible?!”
“Hmph, Wang brother, you should have dealt with these people from the start instead of pretending to be a gentleman. Now look where you are!”
Although these whispered thoughts could not reach Ye Feng's ears, the atmosphere within this team had already undergone a qualitative change. By opening this hidden passageway, what everyone did not know was that Ye Feng had long known about this location through the map in his mind!
The reason for creating such a ruse was that he did not want everyone to know about his miraculous experiences in the Mural World!
“Alright! Now you just need to follow me! This passage exists but is filled with unknowns; we must proceed with caution!” Ye Feng said firmly!
Everyone nodded and followed closely behind. Cheng Ze once again brandished his Crimson Flame Twin Blades as makeshift torches and handed them to Ye Feng. This passageway was actually quite narrow and could only accommodate one person at a time. Ye Feng led the way, illuminating the surroundings and discovering the uniqueness of this passage!
The walls were rugged and uneven, as if hastily constructed. The staircase was not very long, barely a few dozen meters, and then they entered another secret chamber!
"Is this... a maze?" Cheng Ze exclaimed, his eyes wide with confusion at what he saw before him.
Zong Nan also looked puzzled and said, "This chamber is much larger than the previous black hole. Could it be that the black hole was just a distraction, and the true resting place of the predecessors who built this place is here?"
This speculation was quickly confirmed. Huang Yao and the others carefully observed the chamber and found that the signs of human excavation were even more pronounced. For instance, there were stone beds and small holes chiseled into the walls for placing items, along with several small openings in the ceiling that seemed to be for ventilation.
Ye Feng had already come to a conclusion in his mind. He had intentionally brought them to this place. This chamber appeared small on his map, but he paid special attention to it. A location like this surely had its significance, and he soon discovered some items!
"Come look at this; perhaps our initial guess was correct. You are not mistaken; it could be that a predecessor was trapped by an external Demon and, out of desperation, used a Powerful Being to carve out this temporary hiding place. Judging from the entrance of the black hole we visited earlier, it seems no one has discovered it yet!"
Ye Feng pointed to a few books placed inside a hollow space. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be several sets of Supreme Techniques! This immediately captured everyone's attention. Cheng Ze and the others stepped forward to take a look; they noticed that the books were not heavily damaged, just aged enough that some words were still faintly visible.
"Gathering Spirit Spell? Unnamed Slash? Reverse Water Slash? What are these Supreme Techniques? I've never heard of them before," Zong Nan muttered to himself. Although his expression showed some confusion, it was clear he was excited. After all, any techniques discovered in such a place would surely be valuable!
Huang Yao and the others behind him also revealed greedy looks. However, since Ye Feng had discovered these items first, they could not snatch them away. Moreover, given Ye Feng's level of power, no one dared disrupt the order of their group under uncertain circumstances.
Ye Feng sighed inwardly but did not name anyone specifically. He took out the Gathering Spirit Spell first and began to examine it. After just a few glances, his expression changed dramatically! But he quickly regained his composure and concealed his true emotions because the effectiveness of this technique was beyond even his expectations!
