Mu Jinyu noticed that in the human-shaped pit he had smashed open, there was a thin, grayish-white mesh that resembled a spider web.

And beneath this mesh lay layers of fragmented white bones...

Mu Jinyu turned to Yin Li and asked, "Didn't you say you found nothing?"

Yin Li slightly frowned and mumbled, "Yes, when I released my Divine Sense to probe earlier, I indeed found nothing. Even now, although we can see these broken webs and bones with our eyes, there's still nothing under my Divine Sense scan!"

"It seems there are some problems here indeed..." Mu Jinyu's eyes glinted with curiosity.

Just then, Lin Yun said, "Benefactor, it was over there where I discovered that Dragon Ball..."

As he spoke, Lin Yun pointed his hand towards a nearby pit.

There, too, were scattered white bones.

However, there was no grayish-white mesh.

Previously, when Mu Jinyu and Yin Li came down to investigate, they overlooked it for this reason.

"Huh, the mesh is disappearing..."

Just as Mu Jinyu was about to check out the pit Lin Yun pointed to, he heard Yin Li exclaim in surprise.

He turned back to see that in the pit he had just smashed out, the gray mesh covering the broken bones was gradually dissolving.

It seemed as though it couldn't come into contact with air, otherwise, it would immediately disperse.

"It's really peculiar!"

Mu Jinyu felt increasingly convinced that some secret was hidden here.

Then, he instructed Lin Yun to use his techniques to bombard the area and see what would appear after the underground mesh and bones were blown apart.

"Okay!"

Lin Yun naturally did not refuse Mu Jinyu's request.

Mu Jinyu had helped him so much, now it was his turn to help Mu Jinyu.

So, he asked Mu Jinyu and Yin Li to stand aside, and then he floated into the air, waving his hand to gather a massive amount of Elemental Qi around him.

"Buzzing!!"

Heaven and Earth Vital Energy continuously gathered in Lin Yun's hands, transforming into white bubbles, which then formed a massive energy light ball in his hand!

"Go!!"

Once the energy light ball reached Lin Yun's limit, he felt it hurt all over his body; he swung with great force, throwing the energy light ball to the ground!

"Bang!!"

In an instant, dazzling light illuminated the entire cliff bottom, the world was left only in white, with no other colors visible.

Then, a terrifying gust of wind surged in all directions.

Once calm returned, Mu Jinyu fixed his gaze.

He saw that the ground impacted by Lin Yun's energy light ball had crumbled, revealing a huge tunnel underneath.

This place still holds more wonders!

An underground tunnel lies hidden!

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu's eyes lit up, and he then called upon Yin Li to use her Divine Sense to investigate.

Yin Li muttered unwillingly but still obediently released her Divine Sense to probe for Mu Jinyu. She finally shook her head and said, "No, whether it's some kind of restriction or something else, I still can't detect anything down there!"

"If that's the case, let's go down and take a look!"

After some hesitation, Mu Jinyu quickly made up his mind!

Go down and take a look.

Although his Cultivation had been damaged, lowering his powers by nearly two-thirds, he did not think there would be any danger below.

Even if there were, with Yin Li's strength combined with his, they should be able to handle it.

"Benefactor, are you going down?" Lin Yun asked worriedly upon seeing this, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll accompany you..."

Mu Jinyu glanced at him and shook his head, "No need, you haven't fully recovered from your injuries. Stay up here and wait for us, or you can go back. After all, I am here to help you get revenge, which was the reason you led me here. Your job is done!"

"But..." Lin Yun looked conflicted.

Mu Jinyu said, "Don't worry, we'll be fine. The reason I want you to go back is that the area below might be quite large, with other exits. There's a good chance we won't come back out this way. It's inconvenient for you to wait here for us and then for us to have to notify you. Just go back..."

With Mu Jinyu's explanation, Lin Yun no longer insisted and nodded, "Alright, I understand, Benefactor..."

With that, he prepared to head back up.

Mu Jinyu glanced at him and added, "Oh, if you want to join the Heavenly Sword Faction, you can mention my name and take this."

As he spoke, Mu Jinyu tossed an object to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun caught it; it was an Identity Plaque.

It was precisely the Identity Plaque Mu Jinyu had when he was an Inner Sect Disciple in the Heavenly Sword Faction.

If Lin Yun wanted to join the Heavenly Sword Faction in the future, mentioning his name and presenting this plaque would let the Sect Leader know it was indeed Mu Jinyu's will, and they would allow Lin Yun to join.

"Thank you, Benefactor!"

Lin Yun stored the plaque and gratefully thanked Mu Jinyu.

"A win-win, that's all. Alright, I'm going down, see you if our paths cross again!"

Mu Jinyu waved his hand to Lin Yun, then jumped into the dark tunnel below.

"Gurgle..."

Yin Li called out, flicked her little tail, and followed Mu Jinyu into the tunnel below.

Lin Yun watched, casting a deep glance at the pitch-black tunnel entrance that seemed to swallow people whole, silently praying for them before heading back up the cliff.

...

After experiencing a wave of disorienting weightlessness, it felt like passing through layers of transport light screens.

"Thud!"

Mu Jinyu finally felt himself land heavily on the ground!

"Damn, I feel like I've become blind here. I can't see or sense anything!"

After rising to his feet, Mu Jinyu couldn't help but speak in a tone of panic.

Then, he loudly called out, "Yin Li! Yin Li, are you there?"

No response!

This made Mu Jinyu even more anxious.

"What the heck? Could we have gotten separated while falling?"

Mu Jinyu muttered to himself in uncertainty.

He had a bit of regret, thinking he should have held onto Yin Li on their way down.

"Yin Li!"

"Yin Li?!"

"Yin Li, are you there? Say something?"

Mu Jinyu kept calling out, but heard no response.

He stayed in place, hoping that Yin Li would find him or hear his calls.

After waiting for what felt like half an hour, there was still no movement.

Mu Jinyu realized he might have really lost Yin Li.

"Sigh..."

Mu Jinyu sighed softly, feeling distressed. It was his first time experiencing this sensation of having his senses sealed, akin to being blind.

Then, Mu Jinyu decided not to wait for Yin Li anymore. They had probably parted ways, and he hoped to find her by moving forward.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Mu Jinyu chose a direction and began walking, a sense of solitude and despair clouding over him, making him uncertain of his purpose.

"Tap!"

A heavy feeling enveloped Mu Jinyu's heart, as he felt he had stepped on something!

Something rather hard!

"Hmm?!"

Mu Jinyu squinted his eyes slightly and then knelt down to feel around underfoot.

"Hmm?! It seems to be... a Dragon Qi Crystal?"

Although engulfed in darkness and unable to see what he held, Mu Jinyu had a strong feeling that it resembled the Dragon Qi Crystal he previously acquired from Lin Yun!
