"This is the Bloodsucker Mosquito. How is this possible? This type of beast should have been extinct long ago," Huang Yao exclaimed.
Since it had long been extinct, Huang Yao was unaware of the Bloodsucker Mosquito's strength. Faced with the unknown, he couldn't help but feel immense fear, and for a moment, he found himself unable to muster the will to resist.
As the Crown Prince of Qin, Huang Yao had read numerous historical texts and was familiar with some ancient beasts that had already become extinct.
The greatest shock to him was this bloodsucking creature resembling a mosquito. It was precisely because this Ancient Beast posed such a significant threat that humans had banded together long ago to eradicate it.
He knew very well that in the Divine Martial Continent, the Bloodsucker Mosquito had not appeared for nearly a thousand years. Even in remote and desolate areas, the Bloodsucker Mosquito had been completely exterminated.
The fear that arose from deep within caused Huang Yao to forget about resisting. Ye Feng, however, was different; although he had limited experience, his mindset was exceptionally high and he would not be easily swayed by external factors.
Huang Ge did not care whether the beast before them originated from Ancient Times; he promptly drew his Azure Wind Dagger and unleashed several wind blades.
Cheng Ze and Zong Nan were also somewhat frightened but did not lose their will to fight. The sudden appearance of an Ancient Beast thought to be extinct merely left them shocked.
The wind blades flashed past, but the Bloodsucker Mosquito reacted quickly and easily dodged them. Huang Ge's expression froze slightly; he had been quite confident in his wind blade technique but did not expect to face repeated setbacks. Not only could he not cleave through the Giant Door of the hall, but he also couldn't even kill a small mosquito.
However, in order to evade Huang Ge's wind blades, the Bloodsucker Mosquito's speed slowed down significantly.
Zzzz!
The Crimson Flame Blade, burning with fierce flames, swept through and instantly severed a cluster of transparent wings from the Bloodsucker Mosquito.
With its wings lost, the Bloodsucker Mosquito crashed to the ground. Zong Nan quickly followed up and pierced its head with a sword.
"Be careful, Bloodsucker Mosquitoes rarely attack alone. We need to leave quickly," Huang Yao warned as he realized the situation.
Buzzing!
Sure enough, dozens of Bloodsucker Mosquitoes flew out from the bushes, their Fierce Countenance evident, moving at incredible speed.
"I'll hold them off; you all run!" Ye Feng said confidently about his agility. Even if he was a step behind, he believed he could catch up quickly.
He noticed that although these Bloodsucker Mosquitoes were fast, they would still be unable to evade his Light Splitting Sword Technique.
The Lingfeng Sword emerged, and with three consecutive slashes, a torrent of sword light surged forth.
"Three Lives, Tidal Waves, countless waves surging!"
The fierce sword light swept across the entire forest. The dozens of Bloodsucker Mosquitoes that had flown out immediately halted their pursuit, dodging amidst the sea of sword light. However, despite their incredible speed, the space for evasion was compressed to the extreme against the densely woven sword net. One by one, they fell under Ye Feng's blade.
More and more Bloodsucker Mosquitoes were stirred up, flying in from deep within the forest like a dark cloud. It seemed there was a special connection among them; when one Bloodsucker Mosquito died, more would come seeking revenge.
Yet by the time the swarm arrived, all that remained were numerous corpses of Bloodsucker Mosquitoes—Ye Feng's figure had long vanished.
In fact, as soon as Ye Feng unleashed the sword light, he had simultaneously activated the Wind Control Technique and Wind Treading Step, escaping without a trace.
Entering the mysterious space were Blue Stream Villa, Master of the Flowing Cloud Villa, and a group of disciples.
Upon entering the Underground Palace, Blue Stream Villa immediately rushed to various main halls. With their immense strength, they faced no obstacles from the Mutated Beasts that emerged along the way.
However, they encountered the same dilemma as Ye Feng and others. Even the Martial Saint from the Xuanwu Realm, Azure Cloud Wind, found no way to deal with the rebound Restriction on the Giant Door of the main hall.
With no other choice, they searched for new clues and entered the space where Ye Feng was located through a similar spatial passage.
"Strange, have we left the Underground Palace?" Wang Qun's expression was somewhat grim. It was his idea to enter that stone door, which was ultimately adopted by Master of the Flowing Cloud Villa and Azure Cloud Wind. If that stone door was an exit from the Underground Palace leading to some unknown realm outside, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
"Don't worry, we haven't left the Underground Palace. This should be an independent space created by the master of the Underground Palace," Azure Cloud Wind explained. As a Martial Saint, he was extremely sensitive to his surroundings since entering the realm of intent and quickly noticed the anomalies in this space.
Seeing Wang Qun looking at him with uncertainty, Azure Cloud Wind continued, "In the forest ahead, there are several Ancient Beasts that should have long been extinct. This place is likely a breeding ground for demonic beasts created by the master of the Underground Palace. Moreover, this space is unstable and could collapse at any moment; we must leave as soon as possible."
Azure Cloud Wind suddenly extended an arm and pointed to a direction in the sky.
Wang Qun and others quickly looked up, and sure enough, in the blue sky, faint cracks were visible.
"If the space collapses, everything within it will also perish. If we cannot leave in time, we will be buried here!" Even a Martial Saint-level expert could not survive in a collapsing space because spatial power transcends mere realms and belongs to the great rules that can only be mastered in the Divine Martial Realm.
Because of this, Azure Cloud Wind, who had maintained a calm demeanor until now, became unusually serious.
However, even without mastering the rules of spatial pathways, Azure Cloud Wind, as a Martial Saint, could still keenly sense some abnormalities within the space.
His gaze pierced through the lush trees like a sharp arrow, looking deep into the jungle.
"There are spatial fluctuations ahead; it might be an exit. Let's go take a look!" Led by Azure Cloud Wind, hundreds of disciples from Blue Stream Villa marched boldly into the depths of the dense forest.
Their movements quickly startled many Ancient Beasts hiding in the woods. However, despite their ferocity, these beasts were aware of their own limitations. Azure Cloud Wind deliberately exuded the powerful aura of a Xuanwu Realm Martial Saint, enough to intimidate them into immobility.
Deep within the jungle lay a vast lake, its surface as smooth as a mirror. Occasionally, birds would swoop down over the water, playing and frolicking, creating a scene of tranquility.
This was Azure Cloud Wind's destination.
Spatial rules belong to the laws of the Great Dao, which can only be mastered by a Divine Martial Realm Martial God. A Xuanwu Realm Martial Saint can only grasp the initial aspects of the seven realms but already possesses the ability to perceive the essence of power and sense abnormalities in spatial rules.
In his view, this lake was where the anomaly lay.
The lake seemed endless, its surface devoid of any ripples. When Azure Cloud Wind and his companions arrived, all sorts of strange birds that had been frolicking nearby vanished without a trace.
Azure Cloud Wind stared intently at the lake's surface, lost in thought.
"Master of the Flowing Cloud Villa, is this the breakthrough point?" Wang Qun asked anxiously. He had a premonition that other forces had already infiltrated the Underground Palace.
Whether it was Rogue Bandits or various Sect Disciples they had recruited for missions, Wang Qun could not know for sure. After all, several underground passages had appeared on Yue Ma Plain; anyone who successfully navigated these Underground Passages could enter the Underground Palace.
"Conceal your Vital Energy and do not resist my domain. I will take you all directly across this lake!" Azure Cloud Wind snapped back to reality and turned to address his disciples behind him.
“Master of the Flowing Cloud Villa, are you thinking of...?” Wang Qun asked, somewhat excitedly.
“That's right, I need to expand my domain.”
Gangwu Realm warriors can utilize True Essence to fly in the air, while Xuanwu Realm warriors with the Wind Element domain can use their domain's power to lift a large number of warriors together into flight.
Without any action from Azure Cloud Wind, the calm lake began to ripple. A gentle breeze blew, and over a hundred disciples from Blue Stream Villa were gently lifted by a soft force, slowly ascending into the sky.
Lan Yuanfeng, who was only at the initial stage of Xuanwu Realm, effortlessly lifted over a hundred people into the air. With his garments fluttering and his hair dancing wildly, he appeared as if he had descended from the heavens, stepping onto the void step by step.
“Wind Domain, rise!” With a light shout, a series of azure lights flickered within a radius of several dozen feet around Azure Cloud Wind, like threads drifting beneath each disciple's feet from Blue Stream Villa.
As the azure light flashed, Azure Cloud Wind led everyone directly across the lake, disappearing in an instant.
The lake returned to its calm state, and various birds hidden in the nearby forest once again swooped out, occasionally skimming across the surface of the lake to peck up one or two plump Azure Clouds and swallow them whole.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The red sun still hung high in the sky, showing no signs of setting, as if it would never fall.
In the blue sky, cracks began to widen gradually; thin black fissures spread across every corner of the sky like spider silk.
At this moment, a series of rustling sounds came again from the dense forest by the lake, followed by five figures soaring out and landing by the lakeside.
"Something is strange about the Wind Elemental Force here; it seems to have been guided by someone," Ye Feng, who had just appeared by the lake, felt a hint of abnormality and was slightly surprised.
Could it be that someone arrived here before them? Ye Feng recalled Blue Stream Villa. The only one capable of guiding the Wind Elemental Force in such a large area, aside from a Martial Saint who mastered the Wind Element domain, would be no one else.
"It must be Azure Cloud Wind. I've heard he is a Martial Saint who has mastered the Wind Element domain. I didn't expect we would encounter him here," Huang Yao exclaimed.
Huang Ge, who specialized in the Wind Element Supreme Technique, quickly noticed the anomaly in this area as well. He couldn't help but glance at Ye Feng a few more times. Wasn't this person practicing an Earth-type Supreme Technique? Why was he so sensitive to the changes in the Wind Elemental Force?
As Ye Feng had mentioned, the residual Wind Elemental Force in this small area by the lake seemed to have been meticulously organized, orderly and structured. There was no other possibility than domain guidance.
Thinking about the enemy they were about to face being a Martial Saint-level expert, Huang Yao and the others immediately became tense.
"Blue Stream Villa wants to keep this secret; they clearly intend to claim this place for themselves and will not allow anyone else to seize it. If we run into them, we might be directly silenced!" Huang Yao said with a bitter smile.
Ye Feng also felt helpless. Although the five of them were outstanding among the younger generation, they had no ability to resist against experts from Human-Level Sects. Even those Gangwu Realm elders within their Sect were not something they could handle, let alone a Xuanwu Realm Martial Saint with domain power.
Among everyone present, except for Ye Feng, most had witnessed the formidable strength of a Xuanwu Realm Martial Saint. To deal with them, a Martial Saint-level expert wouldn't even need to lift a finger; merely releasing their domain could turn them to ashes.
