More cultivators arrive for the Rashamon Sea expedition, including Nascent Soul experts from various righteous sects and demonic factions. Ji Yuan notes the arrival of Master Qingcheng and Eagle Changkong. The major sects like Heavenly Craft Valley, Xuanqing Sect, and Tingtiao Pavilion also send representatives. Surprises arise with the arrival of Lady of Joy and Devourer of Souls from Cloud Cliff Pavilion. As the cultivators gather, two powerful figures, one in black and one in white, appear, exerting immense pressure on all but the Nascent Soul cultivators.

...Damn it, they even discovered this?!

Ji Yuan reacted almost immediately, it must be one of those Black and White Dual Fiends who realized he had slipped away from their resistance!

But he dared not speak, nor even raise his head.

His heart was filled with shock, shock at the methods and power of this late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Alright, it seems that all who are meant to come have arrived."

Elder Hei spoke casually with his hands behind his back.

And as soon as he spoke, the heavy pressure in the place was lifted slightly.

Even those Core Formation cultivators like Ma Gui could now raise their heads.

Ji Yuan then dared to raise his head, but only dared to look up at the two figures floating above him.

...It wasn’t this voice that spoke earlier.

So the one who discovered my Divine Soul abnormality was Elder Bai?

Ji Yuan glanced at the figure turned away from him and instinctively lowered his head slightly.

Even his body subconsciously shrank back a little.

"Rashamon Sea is about to open. If you don’t want to go, there’s still time to leave... But if you try to flee once the Secret Realm opens, it’ll be too late then!"

Elder Hei spoke in a deep voice, seeing no one dared to speak.

He then suddenly reached out his hand to slap down.

"Boom—"

A loud explosion erupted, following which golden rings spread from him as the center.

Ji Yuan looked up, finding these rings seemed to be some Secret Technique, yet resembling Tier Four Array Patterns.

And once the Array Pattern was activated, Elder Hei didn’t need to manage it, as it could naturally extend in all directions.

Until it covered the entire deep pit and encompassed the eight high platforms within.

Just when the Array Pattern enveloped the platforms, eight golden True Dragons appeared simultaneously on the pillar tops of these platforms.

Golden chains emerged on the bodies of these dragons, linking to the Array Pattern above.

The chains continued to spread, threading through the golden pattern like needle and thread towards the front.

In just a brief moment, these golden chains converged in the center of the Array Pattern, right under the feet of the Black and White Dual Fiends.

After which, the two of them simultaneously raised their right hands and fiercely slapped the Array Pattern.

"Bang—"

After the loud sound, the chains fell straight down like clouds, sinking into the deep pit of the ground, disappearing from sight.

A few breaths passed, and the golden chains were tensed.

The eight golden dragons began to swim away in their respective directions.

True Dragons dragged, chains moved bit by bit, while from underground came a series of "ka-ka" clacking sounds.

Ji Yuan was completely captivated by this phenomenon, it was the first time he had witnessed a late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator in action.

The spectacle, the scene!

But he quickly snapped out of it, silently glancing around at the other nearby platforms.

He noticed each Nascent Soul cultivator had a serious expression, some even furrowing their brows.

All displayed a stance as if facing a formidable enemy.

’Seems like this move from the Black and White Dual Fiends put considerable pressure on them.’

Ji Yuan thought secretly.

At this moment, even without looking, he could imagine the expression on Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s face.

’But looking at these circumstances, the Black and White Dual Fiends seem capable of opening the Rashamon Sea’s gate?’

’Late-stage Nascent Soul is strong, but not capable of such feats, right?’

Ji Yuan was a bit doubtful, thinking if the Black and White Dual Fiends were truly that powerful, they should have broken into Rashamon Sea a long time ago, not waited until now.

’If I can think of that, they must be able to too, that’s likely why they’re suspicious now.’

Just as Ji Yuan was pondering, Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s voice sounded above his Divine Sense Sea.

"Seems there’s a trap, whatever happens later, do not act rashly, just stay beside me."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan was the first to react, instinctively moving closer to Bone Nightmare Old Demon.

Hmm... Sect Leader is reliable, especially now.

"Ka-ka" sounds continued.

As if echoing in everyone’s mind, while the heavy pressure from the beginning wasn’t present on these high platforms anymore, the atmosphere remained heavy, even more so.

Around half an incense stick’s time passed.

The eight golden dragons swimming outward suddenly stopped.

All chains were instantly tense.

Ji Yuan instinctively looked down at the pit, but just as he leaned over... a powerful and immensely rich Yin Energy abruptly surged from the bottom of the pit!

This Yin Energy transformed into a thick gray beam, dispersing the Array above almost instantly.

Even with the combined suppression of the Black and White Dual Fiends, they could only barely scatter this Yin Energy beam.

When it exploded, the dense Yin Energy spread, covering the eight high platforms almost instantly, even continuously extending outward.

Ji Yuan found himself losing all senses in an instant, sight, hearing, all vanished.

Only his Nascent Soul’s Divine Sense remained functional, but could only barely cover the surrounding three high platforms.

"There’s a trap, come closer... Damn those two old bastards!"

Ji Yuan heard Bone Nightmare Old Demon cursing for the first time, and immediately moved swiftly to stand between Bone Nightmare Old Demon and Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, without a word.

His speed even outpaced Ma Gui by a bit.

So when Ma Gui followed the direction to approach, finding Ji Yuan standing in front of him, he couldn’t help but ask: "Junior Brother Hu, weren’t you behind me?"

Ji Yuan: "Listen to the Sect Leader, don’t talk."

Ma Gui had no choice but to shut up.

Within the Yin Energy ahead, there seemed to be vibrations from various energies, Ji Yuan didn’t dare release his Divine Sense too overtly to investigate, only surmised based on these disturbances... Someone was trying to escape.
