One more catty, one more attribute point

"Who exactly did this!" the Sky Wolf Great Lord roared lowly, angry and ferocious, "Showing disrespect to the Great Lord, defying the heavenly order, I will tear him to pieces alive."

"It seems there are other insects hidden within this secret store," the Demon Country's Ruler retracted his gaze, speaking calmly.

Although Qin Shunying's strength was not weak, the probability of winning a two-against-one battle was not great. Moreover, since Baihe and Zi Xiao were both demon birds of the Peng type with extremely fast speeds, after a defeat, even escaping would not be possible; it could only be said that the opponent's strength overwhelmingly suppressed the two.

"My Lord..." The Sky Wolf Great Lord shook his head, his anger gradually calming down.

"If this person's strength, coupled with the information Qin Shunying might have. Their collaboration could be detrimental to your plans," the Sky Wolf Great Lord bowed his head, his face filled with worry.

"Is that so?" the Demon Country's Ruler's expression remained unchanged, still showing a calm and indifferent demeanor.

"Ants cooperating with ants are merely slightly troublesome ants at best, unable to pose any threat to me," the Demon Country's Ruler looked toward the distant gloomy sky and spoke calmly, "Since I chose to emerge prematurely, then I have already prepared to suppress everything."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"The Fiery Sun Sect's senior sister and this person... heh,"

the Demon Country's Ruler let out a cold laugh and said, "The two of them aren't even obstacles in my eyes. If they dare to oppose me, then they're simply to be crushed immediately, nothing to be concerned about."

"Let's move on," the Demon Country's Ruler gestured with his hand, and all the gravel fell and vanished from sight.

He stepped forward, his body transforming into a black light that entered the palace.

The beasts hidden inside roared, but as the aura flashed, they quickly became completely silent.

"This is the presence that suits the ruler of the Demon Country!" Behind him, the Sky Wolf Great Lord, watching the vanishing figure, couldn't help but clench his fists, his face revealing an excited and longing expression.

"I am eager to see who dares to oppose the Ruler!" With that thought, the Sky Wolf Great Lord couldn't help but feel a surge of brutality in his heart.

He promptly pointed his toe downward heavily and quickly followed along.

...

...

...

On the other side.

Su Heng and Qin Shunying returned to the crystal palace.

They stopped in front of a wall within the pitch-black cave, where Qin Shunying extended her senses, judging seriously, and quickly found the correct passage leading to the depths of the mausoleum among dozens of caves through some traces left behind.

"The structure of the Golden Crow Mausoleum is actually not much different from the royal tombs, only much larger in area,"

Qin Shunying led the way while Su Heng followed behind the senior sister of the Fiery Sun Sect.

As she walked, she explained in a clear voice, "To reach the main tomb chamber, there are actually only two paths. One of them is this narrow path designed initially for contingencies; it's the path we are taking now."

"The other one is the Divine Path."

"I have just checked the Divine Path; it is completely destroyed. Inside, it is full of energy turbulence, connecting to the outside world. Any carelessness can sweep you away, possibly leading you to get lost deep within the Eternal Heaven. Even if you manage to survive, coming back would be perilous and far from easy."

"Furthermore, the Eternal Heaven is fraught with dangers, especially the deeper areas..."

Turning a corner.

The last trace of light completely vanished.

Qin Shunying "snapped" her fingers, and a light sprang forth from her fingers as white as scallions. The light was not large but exceptionally bright, illuminating a radius of several tens of meters as if it were daylight. The surroundings gradually became much more spacious, and Su Heng, who had been bowing his head, could gradually raise it.

The long and deep cave stretched endlessly, many stalactites hanging from the ceiling above, and a thick layer of dust beneath their feet.

"Strange," Su Heng spoke with some surprise, "since the Divine Path is already destroyed."

"And since only you know the specific location of this small path, why risk coming here yourself? If you found a way to destroy this small path too, wouldn't the Ruler of the Demon Country be forever unable to obtain the Golden Crow Secret Store?"

"The destruction of the Divine Path doesn't mean it's impassable, just that it poses dangers," Qin Shunying explained seriously, "The Ruler of the Demon Country, with his extensive Divine Skills, was capable of annihilating a nation thousands of years ago. Now, having transformed through the cultivation of the Demon God Residue, his strength is immeasurable.

The chaotic void streams are extremely dangerous for ordinary people, deadly upon contact, but for the Ruler of the Demon Country, they might just be a slight inconvenience."

"I see, we indeed need to be cautious," Su Heng nodded.

The two of them were both powerful.

In the midst of their conversation, they had already walked a great distance.

Suddenly, a bright light rose in the darkness, and Qin Shunying extinguished the light at her fingertip, "We've arrived."

The white light became more intense.

Qin Shunying leaped forward, and Su Heng followed closely behind.

Bang!

The two of them jumped down from the rock wall one after the other.

They found themselves in another corridor of the palace.

The ceiling above was hung with many hexagonal crystals, emitting bright light. The sealed corridor was illuminated as if it were broad daylight. On the rocky side behind Su Heng was a rough rock wall, while in front was a complete and vast mural.

This mural, painted with unknown pigments,

had not faded despite the thousands of years.

The colors were distinct, each detail on it vividly alive. At a glance, it felt as if one was looking at some rare fundamental martial diagrams, spontaneously bringing many insights to the heart. Su Heng merely glanced over it lightly, but his attention was drawn, briefly lingering on the mural.
