My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

Meng Chuan walked out of the cave and came to the jade tablet in front of the Reward Hall once again.

Nine names remain on the jade tablet.

Behind every name lies a hefty reward.

Meng Chuan's gaze swept over the names one by one, finally settling on one name—

Lady White Bone.

Reward: Five drops of Myriad Laws Soul-Melting Liquid and two portions of Six Harmonies Condensing Dao Powder.

Lady White Bone is one of the top five mid-level saints in the Underworld Sect. It is said that she cultivates an extremely strange White Bone Law, which allows her to control thousands of white bone puppets, making her extremely difficult to deal with.

More importantly, according to the information from the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws, she recently appeared near "Ghost Island".

Ghost Island, located at the southwestern end of the coastal area, is an island shrouded in mist all year round. On the island is a medium-sized stronghold of the Underworld Sect, where one high-level saint and four mid-level saints are stationed.

Meng Chuan stood in front of the jade tablet for a moment, then turned and left.

Instead of going directly to Ghost Island, he first went to the Intelligence Hall of the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws to retrieve detailed information about Ghost Island and Lady White Bone.

When the elder of the Intelligence Hall saw Meng Chuan, a complex look flashed in his eyes—admiration, curiosity, and a hint of barely perceptible worry.

"Elder Meng, here to inquire about intelligence again?"

"Um."

Meng Chuan nodded. "Ghost Island, Lady White Bone."

The intelligence elder hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Elder Meng, if I may be so bold as to say something—you've been making too much noise lately. It's impossible that the Underworld Sect hasn't reacted."

"I know."

Meng Chuan remained calm. "That's why I need more detailed information."

The intelligence elder sighed, stopped trying to persuade him, turned around, took a jade slip from the shelf, and handed it to Meng Chuan.

"The topographical map, defensive layout, and personnel rotation patterns of Ghost Island are all included. Lady White Bone's attack records and combat style are also briefly recorded."

Thank you.

Meng Chuan took the jade slip and turned to leave.

The intelligence elder watched his retreating figure, shook his head, and muttered to himself, "I hope you come back alive..."

……

Meng Chuan did not set off immediately.

He spent three days in the cave, carefully studying all the information about Ghost Island.

Ghost Island is indeed heavily fortified.

There is a high-ranking saint on the island, named "Ancestor of the Underworld Mountain". He is a veteran high-ranking saint of the Underworld King Sect and is skilled in soul attacks and illusions, making him extremely troublesome.

Besides the Ancestor of the Underworld Mountain, there are four other mid-level Saints on the island. Lady White Bone is one of them, and the other three are also experts among the mid-level Saints of the Underworld King Sect.

Under normal circumstances, given Meng Chuan's current strength, it would be almost impossible for him to kill Lady White Bone under the nose of a high-level saint.

However, intelligence indicates that the Old Ancestor of the Underworld Mountain leaves Ghost Island once every three months to attend a high-level meeting at the headquarters of the Underworld King Sect.

Each departure lasts approximately three days.

Based on the timeline, the next time the Netherworld Ancestor will leave Ghost Island is—

Just seven days later!

"Three days...that's enough."

Meng Chuan put away the jade slip, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

……

Seven days later.

The outer perimeter of Ghost Island is shrouded in a thick fog.

Meng Chuan lay hidden deep in the sea, concealing his aura and leaving only a wisp of divine sense probing the surface to monitor the direction of Ghost Island.

He is waiting.

After the Old Ancestor of Mingshan left.

On the first day, everything on Ghost Island was as usual.

The next day, Ghost Island remained completely silent.

On the evening of the third day, a black light shot into the sky above Ghost Island and sped away into the distance!

That aura was none other than that of the "Ancestor of the Underworld Mountain"!

Meng Chuan's heart raced slightly, but he did not act immediately.

He continued to lie in wait for another two hours, confirming that the Ancestor of the Underworld Mountain had indeed gone far away, before slowly rising from the seabed.

As night falls, the lights on Ghost Island twinkle like stars.

Instead of infiltrating from the front, Meng Chuan circled around to the back of the island and chose a cliff as his entry point.

The defenses here are relatively weak, with only a few disciples at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level patrolling.

Meng Chuan silently dealt with the patrolling disciples, then stored their corpses in his inner world without leaving any trace.

He climbed up the cliff, like a ghost, disappearing into the night.

He knew the layout of the buildings on Ghost Island by heart.

Lady White Bone's residence is located in a separate courtyard on the west side of the island, surrounded by several layers of security barriers.

Meng Chuan did not rush to approach, but stopped behind a large tree a hundred feet away from the courtyard and observed carefully for a moment.

The courtyard has three layers of security barriers: the outer layer is a perception barrier, the middle layer is a defense barrier, and the inner layer is an attack barrier.

The three restrictions are interconnected. Once one is triggered, the other two will respond immediately, and an alarm will be triggered throughout the entire Ghost Island.

"The arrangements were quite thorough..."

Meng Chuan thought to himself.

But he was prepared.

He took out a black bead about the size of a thumb from his pocket—a trophy he obtained from the storage ring of the "Ghost-Faced Asura" after hunting him down. It was called the "Breaking Barrier Bead" and could create an area where restrictions were nullified in a short time.

Although it could only last for a dozen or so breaths, it was enough for Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan infused the power of the laws into the Breaking Restriction Bead, and a layer of dark light shone on the surface of the bead.

With a gentle flick, the barrier-breaking bead silently flew into the courtyard and landed in the center.

The next moment, an invisible ripple spread out from the barrier bead, enveloping the entire courtyard.

The three warning barriers failed simultaneously at the same moment!

Meng Chuan made a move!

His figure moved like lightning, instantly passing through the courtyard wall and appearing in the center of the courtyard!

Just then, the door to the main house in the courtyard suddenly opened!

A white figure walked out of the room and came face to face with Meng Chuan!

She was a beautiful woman with a slender figure, wearing a white dress, with skin as white as snow, and looked to be no more than thirty years old.

But her eyes held a sense of vicissitude and coldness that seemed incongruous with her appearance.

It is indeed "Lady White Bone"!

The moment she saw Meng Chuan, she was stunned for a moment, then a strange smile appeared on her lips.

"Meng Chuan...you've finally arrived."

A strong sense of alarm suddenly rose in Meng Chuan's heart!

Something is wrong!

Lady White Bone's reaction was too calm!

It was as if she had expected him to come!

Without hesitation, Meng Chuan suddenly retreated backward!

However, in the instant he retreated—

The ground around the courtyard suddenly exploded!

A terrifying aura surged into the sky from the ground!

This figure exuded a terrifying, suffocating aura—

That was the oppressive aura of a high-ranking saint!

A supreme sage!

Meng Chuan's pupils suddenly contracted!

At the same time, Meng Chuan recognized the other party as none other than the "Ancestor of the Underworld Mountain" whom he had witnessed leaving earlier!
