The round sun slowly rose from the horizon, suspended high in the sky.

The temperature between heaven and earth began to rise continuously.

On the island's highest mountain peak.

Four figures appeared, three men and one woman.

"Second Senior Brother, it's down there!" Junior Sister Ge looked at the rolling smoke ahead with a slightly apprehensive expression.

Although she couldn't see the scene beneath the thick smoke, she could feel the scorching heat ahead and hear the commotion below.

The sound of explosions echoed like thunder.

"They are forging bones!" Wang Yuan spoke.

The Second Senior Brother next to him nodded.

"If there is treasure, it must be below!"

"Second Senior Brother, should I go down to check it out first?" Wang Yuan asked.

"No need!" The Second Senior Brother of the Qingyang Sect shook his head. "The temperature ahead is extremely high, and the temperature below will be even higher! The situation below is also unclear, and it's too risky for you to act alone. If what you say is true, the person is forging Divine Bones, a step that you have not been able to achieve; their strength must be extraordinary!"

"Second Senior Brother makes a good point! Senior Brother Wang Yuan, better follow Second Senior Brother's arrangement!" Junior Sister Ge suggested.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuan looked at the man beside him. "What is Second Senior Brother planning to do?"

"Junior Sister Ge, I need your help!" Second Senior Brother said to Junior Sister Ge beside him.

"Please tell me, Senior Brother!" Junior Sister Ge replied.

"I heard that your headpiece is a magical treasure, the Divine Fan. I need Junior Sister Ge to activate the Divine Fan to blow away the smoke below," Second Senior Brother explained.

"Second Senior Brother sure is well-informed!" Junior Sister Ge said with a smile and reached behind her to retrieve the small fan ornament tucked in her hair.

In the next moment.

She placed the fan used as an ornament in her palm.

She blew gently into her palm.

Instantly.

The small fan in her palm expanded with the wind, transforming into a normal size.

Holding the fan handle, Junior Sister Ge said, "Second Senior Brother, I'm ready to take action then!"

"Thank you, Junior Sister Ge!" Second Senior Brother said with a bow.

...

Meanwhile.

Jiang Ning heard the movements and conversation above, alert in his mind.

Magical Treasure... Second Senior Brother...

Is it them?

He instantly recalled a scene he had seen before.

Thunder and fire intertwined, transforming into a dragon-shaped strike towards Jin Chan.

Jin Chan's response at the time was also surprising to him.

Buddha's teachings flew, transforming into a golden dragon and striking back.

No one knew the result, but Jin Chan chose to retreat.

"It should be those people from Qingyang Cave Heaven that have come!" He thought to himself.

He quickened the action of forging bones within his body.

The one hundred and eight Heaven and Earth Evil Bone Forging Skill, only by completing a full round of hammering can one stop.

Otherwise, the surging Qi-Blood, with nowhere to release, would rush throughout the body, making internal injuries more likely.

Just at that moment.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, the wind roared above, and he immediately sensed a powerful wind pressure coming down from above.

"It's started!" He thought quickly.

The internal actions remained undisturbed.

Qi-Blood surged within, transforming into a giant hammer and striking the glass-like bones like a wild storm.

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

Each explosion sounded louder than the last.

...

Above.

With a swing from Junior Sister Ge's fan, light blue astral wind, as substantial as reality, pressed down.

The rolling smoke was instantly blown onto the cliffs surrounding them, with half rising up the cliff, half descending.

Whoosh—

Seeing this, Junior Sister Ge swung the fan again.

The astral wind moved like a dragon, instantly clearing dozens of meters below, dispersing countless smoke.

Whoosh—

Her face slightly flushed, she swung the fan a third time.

The smoke below was completely blown away, compressed by the astral wind, shrinking against the surrounding cliffs, then spreading along the rock crevices and cliffs.

With the smoke gone, the four of them instantly saw the golden magma churning a hundred meters below, saw the stone floating on the magma, and saw Jiang Ning sitting cross-legged on the stone with his eyes closed.

"It's him!!" Wang Yuan's eyes immediately condensed.

"Junior Brother Wang Yuan, do you know him?" asked the Second Senior Brother beside him.

"I don't know him, but I've heard of him! I had noticed him before outside!" Wang Yuan replied.

"Who is he?" Second Senior Brother beside him inquired.

"He is the Inspector of Great Xia Dongling County, named Jiang Ning," Wang Yuan responded.

"It's him?" Second Senior Brother's expression was surprised, then said, "I have heard of him as well."

Just then.

"Second Senior Brother, is that Senior Sister Wang Xuan's sword?" Junior Sister Ge hesitantly spoke, seemingly unsure of her judgment.

Upon hearing, the other three's gazes instantly fell on the sword on Jiang Ning's back, the sword with only the handle exposed.

Seeing the shape of the sword handle, Wang Yuan's expression instantly tensed.

"It's my cousin's sword!!"

Recognizing the handle's shape, he immediately identified this sword as Wang Xuan's flying sword, forged with heart-blood, fused with Heart Spirit.

"The flying sword of Junior Sister Wang Xuan is on him, could it be Junior Sister Wang Xuan met trouble?" Second Senior Brother slowly opened.

"My cousin isn't that easily troubled! At the most, she was defeated by him and left!" Wang Yuan replied.

Then continued, "But regardless, I must retrieve my cousin's sword. If the sword is lost, my cousin will suffer harm to her Heart Spirit, and may even damage her Divine Soul!"

With those words, he leaped down toward the area below.

"Second Senior Brother!" An unassuming junior brother beside him spoke.

"Let Wang Yuan go!" Qingyang Sect's Second Senior Brother said, "The sword of Junior Sister Wang Xuan cannot be lost; with Wang Yuan taking action, there should be no big issue!"

Upon hearing this, that junior brother said nothing more.

...

Below.

Bang!

Bang!!

As the last two hammer strikes fell, Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, calming the surging Qi-Blood within.

At that moment, the two pieces of rock dispersing Heavenly Gang Yang and Earthly Fiend Yin in front of him had become silent, their surfaces dim, clearly almost exhausted by him.
