Chapter 704: Amidst the Chaos
The cave was eerily silent.
In such an environment, everyone instinctively felt a bit tense.
Qin Sang kept pondering the reason behind the unusual reaction of the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells. Is it because a powerful spiritual flame is hidden somewhere within the cave, or is it merely being agitated by this strange cold mist?
The cave wasn’t as deep as expected. As Qin Sang contemplated, he noticed that Daoist Fan at the front had suddenly stopped and whispered, "Up ahead is the entrance to the cave dwelling."
Only then did Qin Sang notice that the stone steps beneath their feet had come to an end, opening up into a flat stone platform.
The space here seemed quite vast, but the cold mist was so dense that visibility was severely limited. Nothing could be seen, not even with spiritual consciousness.
After hastening forward a few steps, Qin Sang and the others finally saw the faint outline of a black stone wall. Embedded in it was a perfectly round entrance to the cave, sealed by a thin black light barrier.
The light barrier was faintly translucent, and they could vaguely see the interior. It was a small, sparse stone chamber. A shelf carved into the nearest wall was already empty, clearly stripped of any treasures, likely by Daoist Fan.
Everyone stepped forward to examine the barrier. They quickly realized that it contained an intricate formation. Its power must have once been formidable, or else it would never have withstood the cold mist for so long.
"Breaking this barrier isn’t difficult. I’ve already entered before. It’s just that doing it alone took too much effort. If the seven of us work together, it’ll be much easier. But be careful. We must not destroy the barrier. These barriers are connected to the ones that seal the cold mist. There are hordes of demonic beasts nearby. If we allow the cold mist to pour out of the cave, the phenomenon will definitely attract great demons..." said Daoist Fan.
Everyone listened closely as Daoist Fan explained how to break the barrier.
At that moment, a female cultivator turned to look behind and asked, "Daoist Fan, where exactly is the cold mist coming from? What lies beyond this space? Are there other cave dwellings? Did you explore the rest?"
