Chapter 206: The Tide of Frenzied Beasts
At the end of the cave lay a square stone chamber, spacious enough to accommodate thirty to forty people. The chamber was reinforced with layer upon layer of barriers, indicating this refuge had existed for a long time.
Given the underground location, its dry and clean condition was impressive, thanks to the protective barriers. With a brief moment of relief, the group settled around the chamber, each finding a spot to sit and repair the surrounding barriers as they waited for the celestial phenomena to subside.
Qin Sang, possessing limited expertise in arrays and barriers, had mostly learned from Senior Sister Qingting's insights on formations. Yet, his skills were slightly better than others', and after busying himself for a while, he took a seat in a corner. His gaze briefly rested on Yin Xingge before discreetly shifting away, recalling the private message Mu Yifeng had shared with him earlier.
Mu Yifeng, though rugged in appearance, was remarkably observant.
Before they set off, Yin Xingge had suddenly inserted himself into the group, seizing command without giving them a moment to react.
Mu Yifeng suspected Yin Xingge's intentions were not as simple as they seemed. Pretending to be displeased, he managed to deceive everyone, leaving a message with a friend at Xuanlu Stronghold to investigate the matter—a move Qin Sang hadn't even noticed.
Mu Yifeng had lingered in Gubei Town for quite some time, awaiting news.
Unexpectedly, he discovered some clues: Yin Xingge's sect, the Medicine King Sect, had a Core Formation Realm cultivator who was currently seeking to refine an astra and was in urgent need of extreme yang spiritual items.
This Core Formation cultivator had recently gathered some helpers to explore a hidden ancient immortal abode in the core of the Ancient Immortal Battlefield, known as the Emperor Flame Hidden Realm.
