"Thank you, Miss Li." Ye Shikai did not refuse, but neither did he take it. Who doesn't have Dan medicine?

"Kai, are you okay?" Chen Yuxin quickly came forward. Although he had the Inner Strength, the damage had directly attached to his body just now. At this moment, a pill was less useful than a bottle of Red Flower Oil.

"I'm fine, I just need some rest." Ye Shikai said to Chen Yuxin, "You all go ahead, I'll follow behind."

"In that case, let's go. Mr. Ye is indeed a prominent young talent of Yanjing, able to take on responsibilities at critical moments." Ji Tao bowed and said, after all, Ye Shikai had helped everyone, not to mention, he was now the son-in-law of the Chen family and had a special relationship with Chen Yuxin.

"You're too kind, let's keep moving." Ye Shikai said indifferently. In reality, this was about who had more power; Ye Shikai had trained endurance in the army, which is why he could pull the iron ring chain and maintain it for so long.

Ye Shikai led the Netherworld Palace members at the back, closely following the Chen family. Chen Yuxin was constantly taking care along the way. Originally, Ji Qian wanted to look after him too, but with Chen Yuxin present, she wasn't at liberty to come forward too much, or she might cause trouble.

"Kai, why did you stand out just now? People here won't be grateful for that. If they see a treasure, they'll still fight for it till they're bruised." Chen Yuxin said to him.

"I understand this reason well, but... we also have to move forward. In that case, I must exert effort. The others, just consider it as a favor." Ye Shikai smiled bitterly. They're now all in the same boat, just hoping the Li Mansion would have some conscience.

"I think only Li Yueying will appreciate your help." Chen Yuxin said with a slightly resentful tone. It appeared that Li Yueying's actions just now were seen by Chen Yuxin as jealousy.

"Are you jealous?" Ye Shikai tapped Chen Yuxin's small delicate nose. This was an action he used to do frequently with Su Qingyu. Recalling those moments, his heart inexplicably ached.

"Kai, Bai Qi's ruins are very complex, there are certainly hidden dangers. Let me stay by your side." Chen Yuxin said.

"I'm fine, and there are so many Hidden Guards here, are you worried about my safety?" Ye Shikai shook his head, "You brought so many people from the Chen family, they need a commander."

"Alright." Chen Yuxin signaled Jeddon to take care of Ye Shikai and returned to the Chen family's team.

"Such an intense kill aura." At this moment, Ye Shikai's mind was suddenly filled with the voice of the Sword soul. After spending so much time together, Ye Shikai had learned one truth: the Sword soul either doesn't speak, but once it does, it's definitely a bad omen.

"What... do you mean?" Ye Shikai quickly asked.

"Can't you smell it? In the ruin of Bai Qi, there's a strong kill aura and a death aura."

"I didn't feel anything." Ye Shikai retorted. No one's been here for so long, there's only a musty smell.

"I feel the kill aura is getting stronger, it's approaching us."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop being a bad omen." Ye Shikai quickly said, "What's going on, tell me quickly."

"I'm not sure either, just feel a powerful kill aura is approaching, along with a death aura."

"Death aura." Ye Shikai murmured. So, what's approaching them... isn't human.

"Why have they stopped ahead?" Ye Shikai suddenly halted, and those ahead all froze. Walking forward to see, they found they had stopped to look at the "structure" ahead.

This was a large gate, about five or six meters tall. Looking to the side, with the intricate paths now turning into more than a dozen, it's much broader here.

"What is this place?" Ye Shikai asked curiously. Although the gate was full of "historical knife marks," the exquisite carvings were still intact. It seemed quite important.

"The kill aura here is dense." Sword soul continued, Ye Shikai glanced around, everyone seemed to be fixated on this gate, no one sensed the kill aura mentioned by the Sword soul, otherwise, they wouldn't be so calm and composed.

"Are you sure? But I see no one reacting." Ye Shikai couldn't help but feel skeptical.

"What nonsense, you mortals have only lived a few decades in this world, I've survived for thousands of years, how could you compare to me." Sword soul's tone was a bit irritated. Ye Shikai dared not be careless. Sword soul was right, even elders in their seventies or eighties were like children in front of Sword soul. If the kill aura here had anomalies, those people might really not sense it.

"Alright, then what is this place?" Ye Shikai asked.

"There seems to be writing above, go have a look." Ye Shikai looked up, indeed, there was a plaque above the gate, with two words on it.

Ye Shikai carefully looked, it should be ancient text. He didn't understand it well, so he called Ji Qian over.

"Qian, what are the two words above?" Ye Shikai asked. Ji Qian knew a lot about history and was proficient in ancient scripts. Asking her would be no problem.

"The two words should be... Yuan Gate." Ji Qian nodded, "It should be correct, I've seen this word in ancient books."

"Yuan Gate, isn't that the ancient military camp gate?" Ye Shikai muttered, how could it be here? Suddenly, a foreboding premonition flashed in his mind.

"Not good, Qian'er, Xin, quickly lead everyone to retreat." Ye Shikai suddenly shouted loudly, everyone seemed confused, wondering if the person was mad, making such a fuss, Ghost understood quickly, instantly stepping back several paces, Chen Yuxin also trusted Ye Shikai's judgment, waving her hand to signal Chen family guards to retreat twenty meters. What Ye Shikai didn't expect was, upon hearing this, Li Yueying also didn't hesitate and retreated with her men, only the Ji family members, who only listened to Ji Tao. This family head seemed used to staying calm, thinking Ye Shikai was exaggerating. Even when Ji Qian spoke up, they didn't retreat. Without an order from the family head, they didn't have the courage.

"Kai, what's happening?" Chen Yuxin asked curiously.

"Shh, listen." Ye Shikai signaled everyone to be quiet.

Thump, thump, thump.

Unified footsteps, so familiar, like a well-trained army, getting closer step by step.

"Someone is coming." Ye Shikai took out a metal sword from the Storage Ring, the Netherworld Palace members had followed him for a long time. Generally, when he drew his sword, it meant a big fight was coming.

From the depths of Yuan Gate, a group of figures slowly appeared, iron armor, helmets, battle robes, bronze spears, bows and arrows, this was clearly an army.
