Ji Xue's body sprang up, and she was about to rush into the ancient temple. Yu Wei grabbed her arm and shouted: "Don't act rashly!" Ji Xue turned back angrily and said: "That's my big brother!"

  She raised her hand, and the short sword inlaid with countless pearls and jade, which was extremely gorgeous, suddenly flew out of its scabbard. The blade shone like autumn water, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to have been slashed open, as if the clouds above her head were about to be cut apart.

  Mo Zi Chen involuntarily took two steps back, and as soon as Ji Xue drew her sword, she had already sensed a massive killing intent pressing in on her. What an incredibly fierce sword aura!

  According to Yu Jianzhong, in the mortal world, there is a sword cultivation lineage that focuses on cultivating only one sword. They rarely cultivate other methods or external skills. Throughout their lives, they only cultivate this one sword. Once they reach an advanced level, they can merge with the sword and wield it as they move. Some have even reached the point where they can sense the presence of others from a thousand miles away and behead them with a mere thought. It is truly a case of "killing someone within ten steps" and "leaving no trace after a thousand miles". However, she did not expect that both Ji siblings were actually practitioners of this lineage.

  Yu Wei was also forced to retreat several steps by the powerful killing intent, while Ji Xue stood still in her original position. Her treasured sword had already flown out of its scabbard and shot towards the dark and ominous ancient temple like a swimming dragon.

  "Ji brother, are you there?"

  In the ancient temple, there was no echo. After that one angry shout, Ji Youfei seemed to have vanished into thin air. Yu Wai clapped his palm and swept away the flying ash transformed from the white talisman, saying: "My Tongxin Talisman can communicate with each other within a hundred miles, and there will be a response between them. Now that the white talisman has been destroyed, Brother Ji's white talisman in his hand will also be destroyed. Could it be that he encountered the Unripe Fire Essence?"

  Mo Zi Chen said: "Isn't this what we came here for?"

  "We didn't know what kind of demon it was, and we thought that based on the realm it showed us, the three of us would be enough to deal with it... now it seems our estimate was wrong..."

  Yu Wei said casually, apparently not putting Mo Zi Chen in his eyes, and looked down on her. He muttered to himself: "Originally thought it was just a thousand-year-old demon, at most only passed the Tribulation of Refining the Body, and had not yet transformed into a human form. Now it seems that being able to silently suppress Brother Ji without making a sound, perhaps has three thousand years of cultivation..."

  Ji Xue said, "Whatever the monster is, I'll use fire to control it!" She shouted loudly and the sword light flying in the sky suddenly seemed to find its target. Like a flash of lightning, it shot into the back hall of the ancient temple.

  This ancient temple, it is unknown when it was built, has long been in a state of disrepair, with the front gate having fallen off halfway, but the main hall in the center, along with the back hall and several side rooms, are still relatively well-preserved. However, under the cover of dark clouds, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen within five feet. But as Ji Xue's sword light flashed in, the surrounding black cloud instantly dispersed, and the two people outside clearly saw the scene inside the back hall.

  The gate of the back hall was still intact, with a side door on the right, covered in dust, as if no one had opened it for a long time. On the door, there were strange patterns drawn with crimson paint, like ghostly symbols. Originally, under the cover of dark clouds, the surroundings were eerie and shadowy, but when Ji Xue's sword light arrived, the sky suddenly cleared, and Ji Xue shouted: "Break!"

  The sword light shot straight up to the door frame, and when it was still three feet away from the gate, the cold light that had condensed in front of the sword tip suddenly burst open, instantly blasting the large door into pieces.

  Splinters of wood shot out in all directions, some even flying dozens of feet away, landing right in front of Mo Zi Chen. Mo Zi Chen stretched out a hand and caught one of the splinters that flew before him, feeling its surprising weight. Yu Wei also saw it, "This is purple sandalwood!"

  This place is called Tan State, where various types of sandalwood are abundant. However, what Wei said was different from the ordinary purple sandalwood. What he said was a special term in the Xianxia world, also known as agarwood, with a faint fragrance, which is used by cultivators to calm their minds during cultivation. The builder of this ancient temple had a big handwriting, actually using purple sandalwood for the door frame, which is probably not a common practice among ordinary Xian schools. But since the ancient temple has been standing here for so long, couldn't any of the disciples of the Jingtan Sect have discovered it?

  Mo Zi Chen suddenly said at this time: "This place seems to have an array!"

  Yu Wei's face changed, he turned his head and took a look at Mo Zi Chen, saying: "Mo Daoist friend has extraordinary eyesight, indeed worthy of being from the Taihua lineage."

  Mo Zi Chen, however, felt the jade pendant on her chest emitting an aura that was different from usual. This feeling was exactly the same as when she saw that mysterious and wonderful treasure realm at the bottom of the nameless valley in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

  Could it be that this ancient temple is also a legacy from ancient times?

  Although the unknown man did not tell her the details at that time, Mo Zi Chen had already guessed that it was probably a cave left by an ancient cultivator, and his own jade pendant seemed to have absorbed some spiritual energy from the ancient cultivator's cave, which caused such a strange change. At the same time, the jade pendant was extremely sensitive to the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy. So she blurted out unintentionally.

  Yu Wei looked at Mo Zi Chen with a hint of gratitude and called out: "Ji Xue, come back quickly!"

  At the same time, his body shot up like lightning, incredibly fast, and arrived at the top of Ji Xue's head before anyone could react. With a wave of his left hand, his large sleeve fluttered open, and Mo Zi Chen saw that on his sleeve were actually more than a dozen talismans, spinning around and emitting golden light in all directions.

  "The sound of 'peng peng' echoed, and at this time, it came from all directions without interruption. The more than ten large pillars that supported the main hall seemed to have been subjected to an invisible attack, and they actually fell towards all directions with a loud crash. The top of the main hall suddenly collapsed on one side. Yu Wei coldly smiled and said: 'These tricks to deceive people's eyes almost deceived even me.'"

  The great hall collapsed, and endless smoke and dust flew up all around, but under Yu Wei's suppression, the smoke and dust instantly turned into a green mist that dispersed in all directions.

  Mo Zi Chen couldn't help but open her mouth wide in shock. Only then did she realize that the grand hall was actually an illusion created by magic!

  Ji Xue's treasured sword was unsheathed, and with it came an unstoppable momentum that blasted the large doors of the rear hall to pieces. Without any signs of slowing down, the sword's edge shot in like a snowy arrow.

  After the back door was blown open, it was still pitch black inside. Ji Xue shouted: "Big brother, where are you?"

  Her words had just fallen, and in the back hall, a loud shout suddenly rang out again. This time everyone heard it clearly, and it was indeed Ji Youfei's voice. Along with this angry shout came the sound of something hard shattering.

  Yu Wei's expression changed instantly upon hearing this, "That is the Golden Vajra Seal!"

  Before Ji Youfei entered the ancient temple, Yu Wei gave him two Vajra talismans for protection, but judging from the sound, it seemed that both Vajra talismans were destroyed.
