Just as the two were at their wits' end, Su He suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation.

He stopped, closed his eyes, and focused intently, carefully sensing the source of the fluctuation.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, his gaze sharp.

"Found it!"

Suhe strode off in one direction, and Qingxin quickly followed.

The two passed through thick fog and arrived at an open space.

In the center of the open space, an ancient stone gate stood prominently.

The stone gate was covered with strange patterns and emitted a faint blue light.

"This is the entrance to the secret realm?" Qingxin exclaimed in surprise.

Su He nodded and took out the Tai Xuan Token from his pocket.

He aimed the Tai Xuan Token at the stone gate.

A golden light suddenly shone from the Tai Xuan Token and shot straight toward the stone gate.

The stone door opened with a sound, revealing a pitch-black opening.

There was a powerful suction force inside the cave, as if trying to pull people in.

Upon seeing this scene, Qingxin couldn't help but gasp.

"Senior, this place looks really scary..."

Su He glanced at her and said indifferently, "If you're scared, then don't go in. I don't want to bring a burden with me."

Upon hearing this, Qingxin immediately shook her head.

"I'm not afraid at all! I'm determined to go in and save my father!"

Seeing her like this, Su He said no more.

He put away the Tai Xuan Token and said to Qingxin, "Hold on tight to me, don't get sucked in."

Qingxin quickly grabbed Suhe's arm and followed closely behind him.

The two stepped into the cave entrance together and were instantly swept in by a powerful force.

After a dizzying spin, Su He and Qing Xin found themselves in an unfamiliar space.

This appears to be a long tunnel, with eerie lights flickering on the walls on both sides.

At the end of the tunnel, there is a bright exit.

"Let's go quickly, don't stay here any longer."

As Su He spoke, he pulled Qingxin forward quickly.

The two walked quickly through the tunnel, the surrounding scenery rushing past them.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at the exit.

Beyond the exit lies a vast expanse of space.

The sky was overcast and covered with dark clouds, as if a downpour could break out at any moment.

The ground was covered with barren sand and gravel, and there was not a trace of green in sight.

In this desolate land, there is a huge lake.

The lake water was as black as ink, with no ripples on its surface, like a stagnant pool.

Around the lake stand several strangely shaped stone pillars, carved with bizarre totems.

The entire environment exuded a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

"Is this the secret realm? How terrifying..."

Qingxin couldn't help but shiver.

Su He looked around, his brows furrowed.

He could sense that this space contained powerful energy fluctuations.

However, countless dangers also lurk within.

"Don't let your guard down, stay close to me."

Qingxin nodded repeatedly, afraid of leaving Suhe even for a moment.

The two walked around the stone pillar and arrived at the lake.

The dark lake water was close at hand, emanating a chill.

Facing the eerie ghost lake before them.

He took out the Tai Xuan Token from his bosom and held it in his palm.

Su He closed his eyes slightly, and as his hands moved swiftly, a wisp of spiritual energy surged into the Tai Xuan Token.

The Tai Xuan Token shone brightly, hovering and spinning in Su He's hand, emitting a dazzling golden light.

Golden light enveloped the Tai Xuan Token, forming a sphere of light that slowly rose into the air.

The ball of light hovered in mid-air for a moment, then suddenly swooped down and disappeared into the Ghost Lake.

Ripples spread across the lake's surface, and a powerful energy wave rippled outwards.

Su He stared intently at the lake, his expression focused.

A moment later, the ball of light resurfaced and flew back into Su He's hand.

The light of the Tai Xuan Order gradually dimmed, and Su He held it, lost in thought.

"How's it going, senior? Have you found anything?"

Su He nodded and slowly said, "This place is called Ghost Lake, and there is a huge underwater palace deep in the lake."

One of the magical treasures we're looking for, the Water God Pearl, is inside the palace.

Qingxin was delighted to hear this.

"Great! Let's go in and look for it!"

Su He glanced at her and said calmly, "Don't underestimate this Ghost Lake; it's extremely dangerous. Are you really coming along?"

Qingxin nodded without hesitation.

"I am at least a Martial King, so I don't even care about a mere lake!"

Besides, with you here, senior, what do I have to be afraid of?

Seeing her resolute attitude, Su He said no more.

"Okay, let's go in together then."

However, you must follow my instructions and not act on your own.

Qingxin nodded repeatedly, her face serious.

Su He put the Tai Xuan Token away again and led the way to the lakeside.

Qingxin followed closely behind, and the two of them entered the Ghost Lake one after the other.

As soon as Su He stepped into the lake, he felt an eerie aura enveloping him.

A chill suddenly ran through his body, which was like that of an emperor.

"Oh no, something's strange about this lake!"

Su He thought to himself, and continued walking without stopping.

Although Qingxin's cultivation level was not as high as Suhe's, she could still sense that sinister aura.

She instinctively moved closer to Su He, feeling a little uneasy.

The two walked deeper and deeper into the lake, where the water was already waist-deep.

All around was deathly silent, with only the sound of flowing water echoing in my ears.

Suddenly, Su He stopped and stared intently ahead.

Qingxin followed his gaze and saw countless ethereal figures floating on the lake.

Those figures were translucent, with ferocious faces, and exuded a chilling aura.

"What...what is that?"

Qingxin's voice trembled as she pointed at the figures and asked.

"A wronged soul."

Su He said in a deep voice, "It seems that this Ghost Lake lives up to its name."

He raised his hand and waved it, a golden light flashed, and all the wronged souls around him were driven away.

But before Su He could even catch his breath, more wronged souls emerged from the bottom of the lake and surrounded them.

"Why are there so many wronged souls?"

Su He frowned.

He channeled his spiritual energy, preparing to strike again.

But at that moment, a blinding light shot out from the bottom of the lake and soared into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Ghost Lake began to churn violently.

The lake water roared and surged as if boiling, threatening to engulf everything.

Countless wronged souls writhed in the lake, emitting mournful screams.

"Oh no, something's about to come out!"

Su He pulled Qingxin close and shielded her behind him.

Just then, the lake surface suddenly exploded, and several huge spirit snakes leaped out of the water.

They are entirely emerald green, their scales shimmering with an eerie light, and they flick blood-red tongues from their mouths.

The serpent swam on the water's surface and suddenly lunged towards the Suhe River.

Su He frowned, waved his hand, and the Tai Xuan Sword appeared in response, hovering in front of him.

"Qingxin, step back!"

Su He shouted, gripped the Tai Xuan Sword, and faced the spirit snake.

A serpent pounced first, opening its blood-red maw to reveal its sharp teeth.

Su He flipped his wrist, and the Tai Xuan Sword transformed into a streak of silver light, slashing towards the spirit snake.

With a clang, the spirit snake was cleaved in two, turning into two wisps of green smoke and dissipating.
