“Let’s go, take me to Moonlit Lake!” Zhang Yun made the decision immediately without the slightest hesitation.
In his eyes, nothing was more important than Ye Qianzhi's life safety!
"Huh? Brother Zhang, are you serious?"
Hua Mubai was taken aback by Zhang Yun's decision.
How can there really be so many people in this world who are not afraid of death?
"If you're afraid, just take me to the entrance of Nongyue Lake."
Worried that Hua Mubai might not agree, Zhang Yun added, "Don't worry, you'll get your share of the benefits."
"Brother Zhang, you are joking. How could I, the dignified Third Young Master of the Hua family, be afraid of death?"
Hua Mubai immediately denied it: "Besides, do I look like the kind of person who is greedy for profit? I've said it before, my biggest flaw is that I'm not loyal..."
Before he could finish speaking, he felt his feet leave the ground...
"Brother Zhang, if you're going, there's no need to be in such a hurry, is there?"
Hua Mubai was somewhat surprised that Zhang Yun was so impatient. However, this also confirmed his earlier statement.
Ye Qianzhi was indeed very important to Zhang Yun.
"Holy crap, bro, this is..."
Zhang Yun's speed had already surprised Hua Mubai.
When he saw a pair of enormous, pale black flame wings suddenly emerge from behind Zhang Yun, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Not only did Zhang Yun's flight speed increase exponentially after he gained a pair of pale black flame wings, but he was also awestruck by the eeriness and power of those pale black flames.
Even though Zhang Yun's light black color wasn't specifically targeting him, he was already sweating profusely from the heat.
Even more strangely, he vaguely felt that the flow of his spiritual power within his body seemed to have slowed down, and that his spiritual power was showing signs of evaporating!
At this moment, he realized why Zhang Yun was so powerful.
The terrifying flames emanating from his body alone are something that no cultivator of the same realm can withstand!
As Hua Mubai had expected, Zhang Yun led him to the outer edge of the Star Origin Forest in just half a day.
At first glance, the Star Origin Forest looks like a sleeping giant dragon, stretching and winding across the land.
Zhang Yun and Hua Mubai flew through the misty Xingyuan Forest, heading towards Nongyue Lake in the center of the forest.
Soon, Zhang Yun and his companion had ventured deep into the Xingyuan Forest.
The area is lush with vegetation, and towering ancient trees are everywhere.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
This is the result of years of frenzied killing by humans and monsters.
After passing through a lush forest, the view suddenly opened up.
Ahead lay a picturesque valley, with a lake in sight, from which wisps of steam rose like mist.
The place was shrouded in mist, dreamlike and ethereal, like a fairyland on earth.
Nongyue Lake is actually a natural hot spring.
"The entrance to the ancient tomb only opens after nightfall and when the moon rises," Hua Mubai said, gazing at the misty Nongyue Lake ahead.
"Hmm." Zhang Yun nodded slightly. Since that was the case, no matter how anxious he was, he had to wait until evening.
At this moment, a series of beast roars came from behind, causing Hua Mubai to instinctively hide behind Zhang Yun. Then, suddenly remembering something, he coughed awkwardly, put his hands behind his back, and pretended that nothing had happened.
"Are you sure the entrance to the ancient tomb is nearby?"
After carefully surveying the surrounding terrain, Zhang Yun frowned slightly, looked at the lake surface shimmering in the sunlight, and spoke.
Hua Mubai pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, I've only heard about it and haven't heard of it before. I'm not entirely sure about the location of the ancient tomb either."
"You'd better not lie to me," Zhang Yun said coldly, his face expressionless.
“Brother Zhang, I, Hua Mubai, would never joke about something like this with you.”
Hua Mubai said with a hint of anger, but Zhang Yun ignored him and found an open space to sit cross-legged, as if he were meditating, which made two black lines appear on Hua Mubai's forehead.
Could this cloud be any more aloof?
As the night deepened and the full moon hung high in the sky, Zhang Yun, the villain who had been harboring doubts, finally learned the answer.
A clear sound of flowing water broke the silence of the night.
Zhang Yun's gaze turned toward the center of Nongyue Lake, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Whether due to natural causes or some special mysterious force, the water in the center of Nongyue Lake began to separate into layers, soon revealing the lakebed. The earth trembled at this moment.
It turns out that the entrance to the mysterious ancient tomb is hidden underground in the center of Nongyue Lake.
This is because a bottomless abyss appeared in the center of Nongyue Lake.
"hiss……"
Looking at the bottomless abyss, Hua Mubai couldn't help but gasp.
