Chapter 619: The Cage of Bones
Li Yuan raised his eyes, staring expressionlessly at the sky above the Qiong Ri Secret Realm.
The fact that his connection to the Burning Heaven Fire Ring could be severed so easily could only be due to the intervention of a powerful figure of comparable strength; otherwise, it could only be some kind of special independent space or domain.
Judging from the situation, the second possibility seems more likely.
Li Yuan glanced at the teleportation array that appeared not far away, held the crystal token in his hand, and without any hesitation, strode towards the teleportation array.

The Dark Realm, the Deep Sea.
Ye Fei took out two water-repelling pills and gave one to Huang Rongyu and Mu Jingshen, and took one herself. Then she headed towards the deepest part of the sea.
As Ye Fei swam along, she noticed that the number of sea creatures around her was gradually decreasing, and the closer she got, the more she could feel the invisible pressure permeating the seawater.
The three of them recognized each other tacitly and guessed that the oppressive aura in the water must be emanating from the Netherworld Ghost.
Their pace and movements began to slow down, and they became increasingly cautious with each step forward.
A quarter of an hour later, a huge cage appeared before the three of them—upon closer inspection, it was actually a cage formed from the skeleton of a giant fish creature.
The three of them swam in front of the cage of bones, which was so large that it made them appear extremely small.
"I can sense that the Netherworld Ghost is not far ahead." Wuyin's reminder came again in my ear: "However, its aura is relatively calm, and it doesn't seem to be in battle. Be careful, and don't disturb it before you have fully investigated it."
Ye Fei nodded and slowly walked into the skeleton cage behind her, close to the walls.
The three of them were shocked by what they saw when they reached the center of the skeleton cage.
Hundreds of skeletons were covered with corpses, some still intact, others already decaying. Judging from their clothes, they were all cultivators who had unfortunately perished here!
This was the first time Huang Rongyu and Mu Jingshen had faced such a horrifying scene. Their faces turned pale instantly, and they both turned away, unable to bear looking any longer.
Ye Fei, having been reborn before, had seen many such corpses strewn across the land, so her mental fortitude was better than that of the two teenagers. She simply looked around silently, hoping to find survivors among the bones.
After searching for a while, Ye Fei finally found the living person—
"Wenren Qi?!"
Ye Fei looked in surprise at the black-clad boy hanging on the skeleton. His eyes were closed, his hands were tied behind his back, and there was a clear bloody mark on his left shoulder, indicating that he had been injured.
"How could he be here?" Huang Rongyu was also shocked. "He's not a water-type spirit master, so how could he have been captured by the Netherworld Ghost?"
Wuyin slowly explained, "When it can't find a water-type spiritual master to absorb spiritual energy, it will also absorb spiritual masters other than those with water spiritual roots. However, for it, water-type spiritual masters are the most delicious food, while other spiritual masters are the kind that are 'tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away'."
Mu Jingshen wanted to draw his sword to save Wenren Qi, but Ye Fei stopped him: "When you use your swordsmanship, it will cause waves in the sea, which will easily startle the ghost of the underworld. Let me do it."
"Xiao Fei, how do you plan to rescue Wenren Qi?" Huang Rongyu looked up at the skeleton hanging with Wenren Qi, her brows furrowing slightly. "This skeleton is very tall, and we can't use spiritual energy or swordsmanship..."
Ye Fei patted Huang Rongyu on the shoulder: "I have a way."
