Wu Ji looked at the fallen men in the formation, a cold smile on his face, but he did not let his guard down.

He changed his hand gestures repeatedly, and the Yin and Yang energies manifested again, surrounding everyone. If they made the slightest move, he would kill them without hesitation.

"Jiang Mu, Ya Du, do you have anything else to say?"

Jiang Mu collapsed to the ground, spitting blood, his eyes filled with despair. He stared at Wu Ji with extreme resentment, seemingly unwilling to say anything more to him.

"Since you have nothing to say, don't blame me."

Wu Ji didn't intend to say anything more, as delay might cause complications. He quickly walked up to Jiang Mu and slapped Jiang Mu's head with one hand.

In the blink of an eye, a cold smile appeared on Jiang Mu's face, which had been filled with despair.

"Immobilization spell activated, Bronze Ox Ancestor appears, Metal, Wood, Water, Wood, Earth, Iron Ox Ancestor emerges, Immobilization spell, go!"

Wu Ji felt his hair stand on end, a sense of crisis instantly overwhelming him. Without hesitation, he immediately manipulated the Yin and Yang energies to kill the group.

After Jiang Mu finished casting the immobilization talisman, he immediately took out a protective talisman and silently chanted, "Heavenly Net Umbrella, protect me completely, pure light shines, keep me safe, Heavenly Net Umbrella Incantation, so be it! Done!"

A semi-circular protective shield instantly formed around them, completely blocking out the yin and yang energies.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Wu Ji reacted quickly and was more prepared, but he was still outmaneuvered by Jiang Mu.

Wu Ji was completely unable to move, and was extremely terrified.

"What kind of sorcery is this?"

Jiang Mu forced himself to stand up, walked in front of Wu Ji, and sneered, "This is not sorcery, this is a legitimate immortal technique. Even if you had advanced to the Shattered Realm, you still wouldn't be able to withstand it."

"Impossible! How could there be such terrifying magic in this world? I don't believe it."

"The facts are right in front of you. You can't help it if you don't believe it. You think you're the mastermind behind everything, but little do you know that in other people's eyes you're just a pathetic, laughable wretch!"

While they were talking, Wu Ji had already tried no less than twenty methods to break the restriction, but none of them worked.

Looking into the formation, he was astonished to find that the originally fierce Yin and Yang energies remained completely undisturbed by the circular energy shield.

Moreover, without his activation, the power of the formation would plummet, and it would only be a matter of time before the formation collapsed. It could be said that he was now like a lamb to the slaughter.

Upon realizing this, Wu Ji understood his current predicament and couldn't help but sigh.

"Junior Brother Jiang, I never expected to end up like this. You are still a cut above the rest."

Pfft!

Jiang Mu plunged the Ziwei Sword into Wu Ji's dantian, and Wu Ji's face immediately turned ashen.

"Brother Wu, please don't blame me. You are too strong, and we are all seriously injured. I have to be careful!"

"Now we're asking you questions. If you answer honestly, we'll give you a quick death. You're probably familiar with Yadu's methods."

The collapse of the martial arts dantian, although such an injury will not completely destroy their cultivation, will prevent them from engaging in martial arts for more than ten years!

"I won't say anything. Kill me if you want, why bother saying anything more?"

Jiang Mu guessed that Wu Ji was also a formidable figure who wouldn't compromise, so he said, "In that case, let me ask the other person inside you!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Ji visibly panicked and hurriedly said, "What did you say? How could you possibly know that I have another soul inside me!"

"My ability to observe qi has greatly improved recently. Although I've only just begun, it's much more amazing than before. I could see through your secrets as soon as I arrived here, but I didn't expose you!"

Wu Ji smiled wryly and said, "I see. It seems you've grown a lot, Junior Brother Jiang!"

"Brother Wu, do you want me to lure out that soul, or do you want to cooperate with our questioning?"

Although Wu Ji successfully possessed Yang Xiu's body, Yang Xiu's Yin-Yang Laws were originally quite strong, and he had a deep understanding of the soul. Therefore, Wu Ji was unable to completely destroy Yang Xiu's true spirit and could only suppress his soul in a corner.

This forced Wu Ji to constantly distract himself from suppressing Yang Xiu. Although Wu Ji regained control of his body, Yang Xiu was aware of everything about him. He could only protect himself and had no power to resist.

Now that Jiang Mu wants to help Yang Xiu regain his life, everything he has done has become a wedding dress for someone else, which he simply cannot accept.

"Do I have a choice? The winner takes all and the loser is condemned. I, Wuji, can afford to lose."

Seeing that Wu Ji had given in, Jiang Mu asked, "What is your purpose in building the teleportation channel?"

Jiang Mu asked this crucial question right away. The construction of that passage was truly difficult. Jiang Mu simply did not believe that it was only for stealing the Ten-Thousand-Year True Ice. There must be a hidden reason.

"That passage originally led underground, but I discovered it by accident. Later, in order to obtain the eternal ice, it was extended to the far north."

Everyone looked on with curiosity.

What's underground?

Wu Ji's face showed a look of confusion as he said, "There is only one cave underground, where geothermal energy gathers and condenses into a pearl at the earth's core. With this, I was able to quickly refine the ten-thousand-year-old true ice, and the Yin-Yang Law was able to make great progress!"

Seeing Wu Ji's expression, Jiang Mu immediately understood that something was amiss and pressed for an answer: "What else is underground?"

Wu Ji's confusion deepened, and he said, "It's gone, but it's obvious that the Earth Core Pearl is sealed there, and I can't bring it out."

"A seal? A man-made seal?"

"Yes, the sealing power is incredibly strong, and even after countless years, it is still beyond my ability to shake."

Ya Du became even more curious and asked, "Was this done by a powerful being from the ancient times?"

But Wu Ji shook his head and denied it, saying, "You haven't seen that sealing power. It was definitely not the work of a Broken Realm expert, but rather an Immortal Realm expert!"

"What! A powerful immortal cultivator? How can you be so sure?"

Jiang Mu and the others exchanged glances, feeling somewhat uneasy, knowing that they might have touched upon some secrets of the Qingxuan Continent.

"Because the energy flowing in that sealing power is very similar to the energy in the elixir you ate; both are the legendary immortal spiritual energy!"

Jiang Mu turned to Chu Di and asked, "Young friend Chu, was the seal underground placed by your sect?"

Knowing that everyone was suspicious, Chu Di said, "Since my Gold and Silver Sect sent me to investigate, it certainly wasn't done by my Gold and Silver Sect."

Jiang Mu nodded, quite agreeing with Chu Di's words. After all, Meng Fan wouldn't be so idle as to dig his own grave.

He immediately asked Wu Ji, "Take us there."

They wanted to see for themselves what was inside the cave so they could gather ideas from all sides.

Chu Di spoke first, saying, "Why don't we invite Elder Hu Li from our sect? With him here, we'll be safe. According to Wu Ji, the seal does have some immortal energy, so we should be careful."

Jiang Mu and the others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. They had long wanted to witness the splendor of immortals. Meng Fan was an exception; they estimated that even immortals were not as monstrous as Meng Fan and were beyond their reach!
