"It's nothing."

Chu Ming responded indifferently, without pursuing the group from Dark Night Mansion. Instead, he cast his gaze on the entrance of the stone cave. These entrances, interconnected, had a faint light shining through.

"Let's go in."

Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan walked side by side, and with a light leap, they entered the tunnel in the stone cave. The winding paths on the stone walls stretched out, and Feng Yuyan's face showed a trace of amazement. The density of spiritual power inside the stone cave was even stronger than outside by several degrees.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Within the tunnel of the stone cave, it wasn't just Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan; there were numerous martial artists dressed in various attires traversing through it. A familiar figure came into Chu Ming's sight, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

A hundred meters ahead of them, a beautiful woman in palace attire was speeding away. She wore red clothes, and every frown and smile exuded allure, but at this moment, her face was panic-stricken, fleeing desperately in the tunnel, drawing curses from surrounding martial artists.

Chu Ming naturally wasn't unfamiliar with this palace-attired woman. She was the red-clothed beauty who had chased him in the Green Blood Secret Realm. Another person, the Yin Wind Saber Elder, was estimated by Chu Ming to have perished.

"Damn, how could he have become so strong!!"

Her face contorted, the palace-attired woman couldn't care about anything else. Spiritual power erupted from her body, transforming into a stream of light rushing deeper into the tunnel, raising dust all around and causing much displeasure among the people.

In truth, she recognized Chu Ming's identity outside the stone cave. But with the formidable presence of Dark Night Mansion's experts, she thought Chu Ming wouldn't make much impact. Yet the strength Chu Ming displayed made her tremble.

Now, fearing Chu Ming's post-autumn reckoning, she increased her speed to the maximum in the tunnel, hoping to flee immediately.

"What's wrong?"

Feng Yuyan frowned; she keenly sensed that the fleeing martial artist ahead was somewhat afraid of Chu Ming.

"It's nothing, just some old grudges."

Chu Ming shook his head. He had no intention of attacking the palace-attired woman. Although her strength was considerable, compared to him now, it was undoubtedly inferior by far.

Swish!

Their speed reached its peak, and upon entering a fork, the palace-attired woman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chu Ming not pursuing.

The tunnels beside Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan blurred and became distant.

Boom!

Bang, bang, bang...

After flying a distance of a kilometer, intense rumbling noises sounded in their ears. Ahead, the spiritual power in the air suddenly erupted, sharp gales spreading in all directions.

Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan exchanged glances and then flew towards the center of the battle. In the Ancient Battlefield, a battle means treasure appearing.

"This is..."

Seeing the chaotic fight ahead, Chu Ming was momentarily stunned. Not far from the fighting, three green crystal lights floated in the sky, dazzling, beneath which lay a shattered skeleton, faintly golden, with weak spiritual power fluctuations.

"Energy Crystal Stones?!"

Staring at the three green crystal lights in the sky, Feng Yuyan's eyes shone with fervor.

"These are Energy Crystal Stones?"

Chu Ming's expression changed. He once read about Energy Crystal Stones in ancient books; they are the crystallization of a powerful martial artist's lifetime spiritual power. Martial artists capable of nurturing Energy Crystal Stones must have at least reached half-step Life and Death Realm King.

The crystallized spiritual power of a half-step Life and Death Realm King, despite most of it dissipating over time, remains a great tonic for Guiyuan Realm experts. With enough Energy Crystal Stones, a martial artist aiming to break through their current realm wouldn't find it difficult.

"Indeed."

Feng Yuyan nodded slightly, stepping into the air. Her body turned into a red light, grabbing at the three Energy Crystal Stones, sharp spiritual power erupting, transforming into a Profound Ice Jade Hand, roaring down.

"Get out of here!"

Boom!

A terrifying saber light bloomed in the sky, instantly shattering Feng Yuyan's Profound Ice Jade Hand. A gray-clothed martial artist sprung from the chaotic fight, looking at Feng Yuyan with a sullen face.

Swish!

Feng Yuyan's body lightly swayed, her expression unchanged. At this moment, the other fighters also reacted, halting their techniques, exchanging wary glances.

Swish!

"How dare you!!"

At that moment, a sword light swept across the sky, with a figure darting through it. The gray-clothed martial artist's face turned icy, his black hair flying, both hands holding a long saber which fell violently, darkening the sky.

Splat!

Chu Ming emerged from the sword light, his left hand gently extended. With just a slight touch, condensed spiritual power erupted explosively, sharp sword light darted out, piercing directly through the saber light.

Splat!

"Ah..."

The gray-clothed blade master was horrified, as if seeing a ghost, spitting out blood. A finger-sized blood hole appeared on his chest, from which blood trickled; the sword light not only pierced the saber light but also his defensive armor.

Swish!

While everyone was still dumbfounded, Chu Ming had already reached the vicinity of the three Energy Crystal Stones, his left hand lightly snapping, and the three Energy Crystal Stones drifted towards him.

"Drop them!"

A clear voice rang out, followed by a yellow blurry figure charging at Chu Ming. Facing this, Chu Ming felt horrifying gales, cutting his face painfully.

Chu Ming's expression changed slightly, and his right hand with the Star Trace Sword reversed sharply, stabbing out at an intricate angle, the moves unfathomable, gray air currents surged rapidly in the sky.

Clang!

A metallic clang sounded, a huge force surged through Chu Ming's arm, causing his figure to sway lightly. But in this critical moment, Chu Ming had already placed the three Energy Crystal Stones into his Storage Ring.

Swish!

Chu Ming swiftly retreated, the surrounding wind waves gradually calming. The yellow blurry figure revealed its true form—a young man in a yellow robe, his handsome face coldly indifferent, but upon seeing Chu Ming unscathed under his punch, his eyes showed apparent surprise.

"It's Zhang Xingyun, one of the Six Titans!!"

Seeing the face of the yellow-robed youth, a martial artist exclaimed.

Whether in any place, the Six Titans were always the center of attention.

"Energy Crystal Stones targeted by Zhang Xingyun naturally belong to him. That white-robed youth is truly courting death, daring to snatch Zhang Xingyun's possessions."

The gray-clothed blade master, injured by Chu Ming, harbored resentment but had no strength to retaliate. Seeing Chu Ming facing Zhang Xingyun, he felt relieved in his heart.
