My beloved disciple Yun Yun was forced to marry? I am the Return of the Killing God!

Gu Yuan exhaled a long breath, the eagerness and greed in his eyes receding like the tide, leaving only deep weariness and a bitter self-mockery.

"This senior... is truly awe-inspiring."

Gu Yuan's voice was slightly hoarse as he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Zhu Kun, his tone complex.

"Young friend Yunyi...you are a promising young man."

His gaze swept over the clouds, then lingered again on the stone gate, filled with endless resentment and regret, which ultimately turned into an inaudible sigh.

"This is the will of Heaven... not my destiny."

Gu Yuan said no more, and didn't even glance at Yun Yi and Zhu Kun again.

Because he knew that watching any longer would only make him more resentful!

He turned around abruptly, flicked his sleeve, and the ancient emperor mirror in front of him shimmered with light, instantly tearing through space to form a stable passage.

"This young man... has already shown his potential; there are no more obstacles on the road to becoming emperor."

The last thought that flashed through Gu Yuan's mind was filled with endless disappointment. He stepped into the spatial passage, and his figure disappeared instantly.

There was no resentment, no harsh words, only the desolation of a fallen hero and the helplessness of recognizing reality.

He originally planned to come and see, even if he couldn't beat Yunyi, at least Yunyi couldn't do anything to him for the time being.

Yunyi probably wouldn't want to get entangled with him any longer, causing unnecessary complications.

In this way, he might be able to explore the ancient emperor's cave with Yunyi.

However, the sudden appearance of a peak nine-star Dou Sheng expert was something he had never expected.

It seems that the gate to this ancient emperor's cave has been completely closed to Gu Yuan.

Zhu Kun looked at the spatial fluctuations where Gu Yuan had disappeared, a hint of understanding and a subtle appreciation flashing in his golden eyes.

"He's a sensible person, knowing how to make choices. This young man, Gu Yuan, does have some magnanimity."

He then turned to Yunyi, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

"Kid, well done! That finger strike was perfectly timed, forcing him to retreat!"

"I consider this favor repaid!"

Yunyi's terrifying aura gradually subsided, his God of Slaughter transformation was dispelled, and his face was slightly pale, but his eyes remained sharp and steady.

He cupped his hands in greeting to Zhu Kun: "Senior, you flatter me. If it weren't for your direct attack, which restrained his mind and the Ancient Emperor Mirror, I would not have been able to find such a good opportunity."

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan... is ultimately a shrewd and ambitious figure who knows how to assess the situation."

"Hmph, who cares about a villain or a coward? Anyone who gets in my way is no good!"

Zhu Kun waved his hand, exuding heroic spirit, and stopped paying attention to the departing Gu Yuan.

He stared intently at the gap that had been opened enough for several people to pass through, and Zhu Kun was also somewhat lost in thought as he watched this scene.

He was trapped in that space and tried countless ways to open the cave, but in the end, he found nothing.

"Boom boom boom!"

Ancient energy fluctuations grew increasingly intense as the stone gate opened.

"I am also very interested in the Emperor-grade embryonic pill that you mentioned earlier, and I'm afraid I won't give it up easily..."

Yunyi glanced at the stone gate, suddenly interrupting Zhukun's thoughts.

"Hahaha... You've got guts, kid, but whether you get it or not depends entirely on fate. We'll find out once we investigate!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

As Zhu Kun and Yun Yi spoke, the fluctuations emanating from the massive ancient stone gate grew increasingly fierce.

As the fluctuations were transmitted, the gaps in the giant gate widened, until finally, with a loud bang, it stabilized completely.

"Oh!"

A surge of energy, seemingly originating from the primordial chaos, suddenly erupted. The entire magma sea exploded with terrifying waves, the earth trembled, and countless abysses, each thousands of feet deep, split open.

"Buzz!"

Strange ripples suddenly appeared on the ancient stone gate, and then space distorted, forming a seemingly transparent passage within the giant gate.

"Let's go in and see what treasures are hidden in this place that has imprisoned me for ten thousand years!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Kun transformed into a streak of purple-gold light and shot towards the crack in the stone door without hesitation.

Yunyi and Feng Qingwan exchanged a glance, then followed closely behind, rushing into the passage.

.........

A light mist enveloped this strange space, making the entire area hazy and misty.

In this boundless and boundless space, there is a piece of land floating. The land is suspended in the space without any support, like a castle in the air.

"laugh!"

The solitude that had permeated for millennia was suddenly shattered today.

In the hazy space, space suddenly distorted, and then a huge spatial passage appeared.

Immediately afterwards, three figures suddenly burst out from among them, and finally landed on that piece of land.

"This is the ancient emperor's cave?"

As soon as Yunyi landed on the ground, his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.

However, during the probe, he was shocked to discover that even with the strength of his Emperor-level soul, he was unable to detect anything within a thousand feet.

Clearly, there seems to be a significant suppression of soul power here.

Yunyi glanced at Zhukun, then turned his gaze to this space, a strange fluctuation in his eyes.

This peculiar fluctuation was a fragment of memory left behind by the Void Devouring Flame after he refined it…

He glanced at Feng Qingwan beside him, grabbed her, and sped off into the distance.

"Void Devouring Flame, huh? This kid's got good luck..."

Zhu Kun suddenly remembered the black flame in Yun Yi's finger strike earlier, and after a moment of thought, he quickly gave chase.

The three raced each other across the vast, seemingly endless land...

This speeding continued for nearly ten minutes before Yunyi and his companion at the front gradually slowed down.

An ancient stone temple came into view on the vast plain.

An ancient aura emanated from the stone hall, spreading and echoing between heaven and earth.

In front of the stone hall, there was a huge plaza, with massive pillars thousands of feet tall standing on both sides, exuding a majestic and imposing aura.

"laugh!"

As Yunyi walked quickly, flames suddenly gathered on his shoulder, and then the Devouring Netherflame ignited.

Yunyi smiled faintly, and with a thought, absorbed it into his body and continued forward.

As they went deeper, flames of various colors rose from the pillars. Unable to pay attention, Yunyi pulled Feng Qingwan to the end of the square.

As Feng Qingwan walked along, she was also attracted by the strange flames rising from the pillars. She was curious as to why all the strange flames in the world were collected here!

When the last two towering stone pillars came into view, Yunyi and Feng Qingwan stopped in their tracks.

Looking at the two particularly enormous stone pillars, all three of them turned their gaze to the top of the pillars.

However, this time, no strange fire was seen rising again.
