"Who is that vague black shadow?"

"Was the Curse World Master taken away by him?"

"Is he the ancestor of the Fallen Splendor?"

Mu Jinyu stopped the Soul Search on Yu Shenfeng, causing no harm to his Soul, then showed a contemplative expression, pondering the identity of that vague black shadow.

He speculated it might be the old vampire from the Fallen Splendor, but then felt that was unlikely. If it were indeed an old vampire, they wouldn't need to be so secretive, hiding their presence from others.

Unable to figure it out, Mu Jinyu shook his head slightly, dismissing various thoughts but committed that vague black shadow to memory. If given a chance, he would certainly take action against it!

After all, being able to attack Yu Shenfeng and knock him unconscious in a second suggested the opponent's strength was likely in the Late Stage of the Fanxu Realm!

That was worth being cautious about.

"Chirp, chirp..."

At that moment, Mu Jinyu heard a strange sound coming from the depths of the cave.

"Hmm?!"

Mu Jinyu squinted his eyes and then turned to look into the deep darkness at the cave's depths.

Just now, he sensed a strange disturbance emanating from the depths of the cave and guessed that the tormentor of Yu Shenfeng might be hidden inside.

Out of concern for Yu Shenfeng's safety, Mu Jinyu had not immediately investigated what was in the cave depths, focusing instead on healing Yu Shenfeng.

After completing the Soul Search on Yu Shenfeng and knowing the real culprit, he didn't think the person would still be here and somewhat ignored the strange disturbance from the cave's depths.

Unexpectedly, it now autonomously emitted strange sounds, catching his attention again.

"Don't come over..."

At that moment, Yu Shenfeng, beside Mu Jinyu, showed a suddenly changed expression of terror upon hearing the odd sound and involuntarily let out a low growl.

"Hmm?!"

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu turned his head to look at Yu Shenfeng, his gaze flickering with speculation.

Could it be that the one tormenting Yu Shenfeng all this time wasn't actually that vague black shadow?

That vague figure attacked Yu Shenfeng and left him in this potentially dangerous place, taking the Curse World Master away.

Subsequently, the unconscious Yu Shenfeng was found by the mysterious creature here and tormented by it...

Thus, even though he had performed a Soul Search on Yu Shenfeng, he couldn't find out who later cruelly tortured him. Yet, upon hearing this sound, Yu Shenfeng instinctively responded with terror?

Because the torment over this period had already burrowed deep into Yu Shenfeng's psyche, even unknowingly in a coma, he remembered this sound?

Mu Jinyu felt his guess was close to the truth, right?

Then, Mu Jinyu said to Yu Shenfeng, "Senior Yu, rest assured, you are no longer bound, unable to move, and there's no need to fear whatever's inside, not with me here."

Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, the previously terrified expression of Yu Shenfeng began to calm down as if assured of safety.

"Dragon Master, I..."

Yu Shenfeng then showed a look of shame, feeling that his earlier display had been quite disgraceful.

Mu Jinyu smiled slightly without saying much and said, "Let's go, let's take a look."

The best way to conquer fear is to face it.

Yu Shenfeng had been tormented here for various reasons, leaving psychological scars. If not helped to remove them, they would remain in Yu Shenfeng's heart, becoming a weakness, which is not a good thing.

"Okay." Yu Shenfeng understood Mu Jinyu's intentions, gratefully glanced at him, and then nodded.

Mu Jinyu nodded back to him and then stepped towards the dark depths of the cave.

He didn't directly control the Heaven and Earth Laws to shift with Yu Shenfeng to the cave's depths.

After all, he hadn't figured out what creatures were inside, whether there was any danger, plus Yu Shenfeng was beside him. He didn't want to directly send him back into fear after he had just relaxed his tense mind.

The two walked in one after the other, and as they went deeper, Mu Jinyu realized that his senses were correct.

There was indeed a very strange Qi fluctuation here, which he couldn't immediately discern.

As though shrouded in a mist, obscuring the true appearance from view, even the Divine Sense couldn't perceive it due to an ancient and mysterious Formation set up in the cave.

With Mu Jinyu's Formation knowledge, breaking it was challenging because it was too special, more unique than the Forbidden formations on Mount Tai.

"It seems to resemble a Formation set up by a demon beast? Is that why it's so special?"

Mu Jinyu pondered silently to himself.

At this moment, in the dim passage, although his vision was limited, Mu Jinyu sensed danger.

"Swoosh!"

Mu Jinyu flipped his hand, and the Dragon Spear was in his grip, stabbing straight ahead!

A sound of piercing flesh rang out, followed by a wailing cry.

Mu Jinyu focused his eyes to see the spear edge impaling a very unusual-looking fish?

"This is..."

Mu Jinyu took a few glances at the fish and then recognized its kind...

Rugens!

This is a marine herbivorous mammal, often mistaken by fishermen for mermaids due to its appearance and need to periodically surface to breathe.

So, that strange cry just now was made by it?

"Hmm?"

At this point, Mu Jinyu noticed that the Rugen's lower half was still a fish tail, yet its upper half had grown arms resembling human hands, really approaching the image of a mermaid.

Except for the head.

Still a fish head.

And its upper half skin was still black-gray fish skin, not the fair skin, appearing far from the beautiful mermaids imagined by humans.

But what surprised Mu Jinyu wasn't that the Rugen grew hands, but rather that it held a sharp knife in its palm.

"Is this the culprit who stabbed Senior Yu in the heart?"

Mu Jinyu looked at Yu Shenfeng with a peculiar expression and asked softly.

Yu Shenfeng also saw the Rugen clearly, noticed its palm holding a sharp knife, and upon careful consideration, realized that the Qi emanating from this Rugen indeed seemed like the one who tormented and stabbed his heart during this period?

Yu Shenfeng became slightly dumbfounded, not expecting that the thing causing him so much pain was this creature?

He felt embarrassed, having shown terror when hearing the sound from outside the cave, wasn't this laughable?

However, something was a bit off...

This Rugen was very weak, from the Qi emanating, it was only a small Ferocious Beast around the First Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, not something that could continuously torment him mercilessly, preventing escape?

"Swoosh!"

Mu Jinyu flicked his wrist, splitting the Rugen skewered on the spear edge, then said to Yu Shenfeng, "Let's go, it's almost to the exit, let's go see."

"Hmm." Yu Shenfeng responded, and followed Mu Jinyu as they strode towards the cave's depths.

A minute later, a glimmer of light appeared ahead, nearing the exit.

Mu Jinyu waved his hand, teleporting them to the exit's position.

The scenery suddenly opened up before them.

A green lake about the size of two football fields appeared!

At the same time, Mu Jinyu and Yu Shenfeng were somewhat stunned.

They saw that in the lake at the cave's depths, where Rugens believed to be endangered were frolicking in the thousands...

As Mu Jinyu and Yu Shenfeng reached the exit, all the Rugens simultaneously turned their heads, cold eyes staring at them!
