"Master!" Gently stroking the object in her hand, Xiang Wan's eyes began to well up with tears. "You're not dead, are you? I will find you! I will definitely find you!"

With the headband wrapped around her wrist, Xiang Wan began searching around.

In the black water, countless chains drifted with the current, occasionally making a slight clanging sound, while some moved slowly upwards along the fleshy walls, gradually connecting with the mountain of corpses beneath their feet.

As things quieted down, a faint breeze brushed past my ears. Besides the stench, there seemed to be a faint, pleasant fragrance mixed in with the fishy smell.

As evening approached, I held my breath and focused my attention on my ears.

thump!

A faint, distant heartbeat came from all directions.

I tried my best to keep my heartbeat as low as possible and listened intently.

thump!

Another sound!

Thump, thump!

Xiang Wan suddenly opened her eyes and looked down at her feet. The sound was coming from below!

Having determined the direction, Xiang Wan held the icicles in both hands and thrust them downwards with a sudden force.

As they ventured a foot deeper, a purple light suddenly flashed across the entire space.

His hands kept stabbing downwards, and suddenly everything around him fell silent. The entire space was filled with a purple light that grew stronger and stronger, even spreading along the iron chains toward the mountain of corpses.

Thump, thump, thump!

The pulsating sound grew faster and faster, and the entire space was illuminated by purple light, as if it were daytime.

These purple lights flowed along specific patterns, as if they had come alive, suddenly gaining life, their brightness changing with the sound of a heartbeat.

Beneath their feet, Xiang Wan had dug a large pit, and the surrounding corpses were slowly dissolving, turning into streaks of white liquid as the purple light flowed, flowing along the chains into the surrounding flesh wall.

The temperature in the space was slowly rising, and the black water gradually rose into mist, contracting and rising upwards, as if something was breathing.

Beneath her feet, the mountain of corpses had almost completely dissolved. As Xiang Wan slowly descended, she landed on a stone platform that resembled jade but was not.

This stone platform is circular, about ten meters in diameter, and emits a faint red light. Beneath the semi-transparent platform lies a male corpse with his eyes closed.

His face was rosy, and his expression was serene, as if he were asleep. There was a faint pattern on his forehead, appearing and disappearing, and it looked somewhat familiar. Beneath his red robe, countless iron chains extended from the stone platform, connecting to the surrounding fleshy walls.

Strands of purple light traveled along the chains and entered the male corpse; the sound of a heartbeat emanated from his chest.

As she carefully examined his face, the more she looked, the stronger the sense of familiarity in Xiang Wan's heart became.

"Who is he? Why does he seem familiar?"

Looking down from the stone platform, Xiang Wan's nose was less than a millimeter away. She reached out to support herself on the platform, and her eyes caught sight of the hairband on her wrist, instantly snapping her back to reality.

Looking down again, the male corpse was pale, completely unlike what had appeared before. The purple light around them was still there, but what flowed into the corpse was no longer purple light, but black and evil energy.

Above them, the sounds of fighting were deafening, and even Xiang Wan, inside the giant beast's belly, could feel them.

"Has Sui Xushan been defeated?" Xiang Wan stared blankly upwards, her hands clenched tightly. "Master, do you know that even sacrificing you wouldn't bring peace to this world? Why didn't you wait for me?"

What is the purpose of all this?

Xiang Wan couldn't find the answer, but she would never give up.

Turning her gaze away, Xiang Wan raised her hand to look at the hairband in her hand. An idea flashed through her mind and grew stronger and stronger.

"Xiaomeng, are you alright?"

The little cloud dream beast was released, and it had recovered considerably.

"Master, what do you need me to do?"

It seemed to sense Xiang Wan's inner conviction, and without asking any questions, it simply waited for Xiang Wan to give the order.

"I don't want to kill anyone. If anyone tries to interfere, please hold them back."

"Okay, leave it to me."

The little cloud beast stood guard nearby, ready for battle.

Xiang Wan took the waist pendant in her hand, rubbed it for a while, and then tied it around her wrist. Afterward, she fully activated the Frost Technique, wrapping the entire stone platform layer by layer with her feet as the center, and then releasing cold air into it.

The chains around her trembled and began to shake violently. Black mist swirled around her, forming a hurricane that pounded against her again and again, determined to drag her off the stone platform.

The purple patterns on the flesh wall contracted violently, and the increasingly strong stench of blood seeped through the flesh wall, while the black water beneath their feet gradually began to spread upwards.

hold head high--!

The giant beast roared, its head raised, and evil energy and black mist shot straight into the sky from its massive mouth.

Inside her belly, the sound waves spread everywhere, and she was the first to be hit. However, before being attacked, she had already wrapped her entire body in ice, along with the little cloud dream beast.

Tongtian Peak.

Bai Xuan and his men fought and retreated, until the number of people remaining was less than one-tenth of the original number.

The protective array of the mountain has been breached, and countless monsters have swarmed in. Some of these monsters have legs thicker than ten people could encircle. Even immortals would be unable to kill these monsters without replenishing their immortal power. Moreover, there are only Bai Xuan and Yue Hua among the immortals, while the monsters are endless.

So many cultivators have been sacrificed, and even immortals feel a deep sense of powerlessness and frustration, and are increasingly losing confidence in the future.

Yuehua, with her reckless fighting style, chose to self-destruct after losing an arm.

The loss of another immortal was a huge blow to the morale of the team.

Those who retreated to Tongtian Peak all looked dejected and their eyes were filled with defeat. They had lost all hope of victory.
