The three of them chased until they reached this place, panting heavily. Two of them immediately sat down to rest, while the Head of the Ouyang Family looked around the small dwelling. Suddenly, he stepped on a trapdoor and fell directly to the bottom of the small dwelling, landing among a massive tree root that surprisingly housed another dwelling. Not far from the entrance sat an old man, whose hair was completely white but whose face appeared youthful.
The Head of the Ouyang Family was horrified and immediately summoned all his strength to activate his strongest Origin Energy for protection. However, he did not dare to attack; this old man clearly was not an ordinary person and possessed extraordinary talents.
The Head of the Ouyang Family assumed a defensive posture, but the old man remained unresponsive and did not speak. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the old man had already passed away. Yet, his appearance and demeanor had not changed.
The Head of the Ouyang Family began to search around. The massive tree was already enormous, and its base was interconnected with many paths. Behind where the old man sat, he discovered a large stone tablet with a prominent inscription: "Putiann Renwang's Place of Passing."
Putiann Renwang?
The Head of the Ouyang Family had never heard of this name and had no recollection of it. However, the person who wrote this epitaph left him astounded: it was none other than the legendary Supreme Killing King from the Dragon Python Celestial Domain.
The Head of the Ouyang Family was extremely shocked, his legs trembling. Panic filled his heart. To think that beneath this tree he had discovered traces of two kings!
The Supreme Killing King was an immortal legend in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain. In his prime, he dominated all directions, slaying numerous Holy Sons and Holy Maidens, even taking down elders from major families and the Six Great Halls one by one.
In the end, the Eight Great Families and Six Great Halls cornered him in an ancient tomb for a joint assault, but he single-handedly killed thirty Great Powers, twelve Holy Sons, three clan leaders, and three Lords.
After this battle, he gained fame and established his fearsome reputation as the Supreme Killing King! From then on, no one dared to provoke him. However, shortly after that, he vanished without a trace. It was unimaginable that such a renowned figure who had killed countless people would end up beneath this tree, erecting a monument for Putiann Renwang.
At that moment, the other two family heads stumbled down as well. When they discovered Putiann Renwang's remains, they were equally terrified and at a loss for words.
However, they quickly began a frantic search; such a place of passing must hold great treasures. Seeing this, the Head of the Ouyang Family also began a thorough search beneath the giant tree.
After a wild adventure among the three, they indeed found some treasure, the most valuable of which was a book. This book contained countless secrets of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain.
On the back cover of the book, someone had handwritten a message: "In the Axe Mountain Empire's Mixed Residential Area, there is a Dragon Cave that leads directly into the Dragon Abyss Nine Hells. One can seek out rare treasures based on their luck. However, it is fraught with danger; nine out of ten who enter come out injured, so caution is essential. To enter, three Golden Birds are required as guides; this matter is left for those destined to find it."
The three heads of families were skeptical but each held onto a golden Bird. Strangely enough, when they went to the treetop nest to catch the Birds, they did not fly away.
The three heads of families kept this information tightly sealed and returned home, where they made a pact: to send people to the Axe Mountain Empire to search for the Dragon Cave in the Mixed Residential Area.
After ten years, they finally found this Dragon Cave in Holl City’s Mixed Residential Area within the Axe Mountain Empire. They also brought back reports of the strange occurrences surrounding the Dragon Cave.
After discussions, the three heads of families decided to move together to Holl City’s Mixed Residential Area in the Axe Mountain Empire to seek opportunities. Once settled, they agreed that the Three Families would support each other and develop together so that they could quickly become prominent in the area and create conditions for exploring the Dragon Cave.
Due to its peculiar nature, the Dragon Cave had attracted attention from various forces. Although they did not realize how significant this cave was, its potential kept them watching closely. Thus, before the Three Families grew strong enough, they dared not recklessly open the Dragon Cave.
Though a thousand years ago, the three heads had sworn loyalty and mutual support, by today, over a millennium later, suspicion and intrigue had taken root among the Three Families. They had even fought against each other and caused mutual harm.
Historically, there had been multiple instances where two families would unite against one when its power clearly surpassed that of the others to maintain balance among them.
However, this time, with the Ouyang Family's sudden rise without any warning, Zhong Kai and Situ Lei Ting were greatly surprised. They attempted a surprise attack during a celebration banquet of the Ouyang Family but did not achieve full success. This time at the Tournament, they planned to fully counteract the Ouyang Family, which naturally fell within Ouyang Changhai's expectations.
What puzzled all Three Families was that each family had one Golden Bird that had survived for over a thousand years without falling or flying away. This gave them great confidence and hope.
Since the last family banquet, Ouyang Shaohua had begun taking Spirit Void Liquid made from Five-Flavor True Water given by Guan Yue. The effects were very noticeable. However, due to its vast range of influence, despite Ouyang Shaohua's efforts to conceal it, it still sparked envy among others. Not only did members within the Ouyang Family harbor thoughts of theft, but some outsiders also developed greedy desires.
Among them was Sito Leidong, who wished to indulge in both wealth and lust.
As the Tournament in the Mixed Residential Area was in full swing, Sito Leidong took action against Ouyang Shaohua, unexpectedly stealing the Spirit Void Liquid Jade Bottle.
Ouyang Shaohua suddenly realized something was wrong and waved her hand to strike at Sito Leidong. Sito Leidong calmly said to Ouyang Shaohua, "If you want to get your things back, just follow me." With that, he swiftly dashed toward the edge of the arena.
Seeing that her opponent was a Disciple of the Breaking Heaven Realm, Ouyang Shaohua felt undaunted and told Ouyang Feixue, "Tell the Clan Leader that I'm going to retrieve our lost item." After saying this, she chased after Sito Leidong's figure.
Ouyang Feixue noticed the competition was intense and decided not to inform the Clan Leader, instead following closely behind. The three figures quickly left the competition venue and flew southward. Ouyang Feixue, being a Great Dao Realm Cultivator, was unable to fly without the Treasure given to her by Ouyang Changhai, which allowed her to barely manage flight. Therefore, her speed was not fast, and she lagged behind the other two.
Sito Leidong had already planned his route and was racing directly toward Flying Dragon Cave.
As the First Lady of Guan Yue, Ouyang Shaohua naturally received the most attention from him. Except for the Magic Supreme Technique, all of Guan Yue's skills were available for her to choose from, and he taught them with great dedication. Moreover, Ouyang Shaohua was born with intelligence and an extraordinary physique; she grasped every skill quickly. With Tai Shi Xiao Xiao's heartfelt education and her family's deep-rooted teachings, she was one of Guan Yue's most trusted wives.
Ouyang Shaohua's speed surpassed that of Sito Leidong, gradually closing the distance between them.
Sito Leidong felt a sense of unease; this girl was surprisingly formidable. He wondered if his unique techniques could defeat her. Nevertheless, he remained confident because he had always relied on his special skills and had never been defeated. He believed there should be no problem dealing with a woman at the initial stage of Breaking Heaven Realm.
Sito Leidong was the first to enter Flying Dragon Cave. At the entrance, he called out to Ouyang Shaohua, "Beautiful lady, if you're too scared to follow me in, you can go back. Once I finish your divine liquid, I will definitely return your jade bottle. Hehe." With that, he dashed into the cave.
Ouyang Shaohua saw him enter a very eerie cave and hesitated for a moment. Just then, Ouyang Feixue ran over and curiously asked, "Where did he go? Did he run into this cave?"
Ouyang Shaohua nodded and replied to Ouyang Feixue, "That thief has already escaped inside. This cave is dark and terrifying; I fear there may be something amiss within."
Ouyang Feixue said curiously, "Our Clan Leader has warned us not to venture too deep; everyone in our Mixed Residential Area knows that going deeper is almost certain death. But let's take a look inside; if there's any danger, we will return immediately. Since that thief dared to go in there, are we supposed to be afraid?"
Ouyang Feixue had always been fearless and curious by nature.
The arrival of Ouyang Feixue indeed gave Ouyang Shaohua courage. Moreover, the Spirit Void Liquid was extremely important to Ouyang Shaohua; it was not only very useful for her cultivation but also one of the few items left to her by her husband, and she could not afford to lose it.
So the two girls discussed and cautiously stepped into the cave.
Inside the Flying Dragon Cave, it was pitch black, and they could not see their hands in front of them. Occasionally, they heard the sound of dripping water. Ouyang Shaohua held Ouyang Feixue's small hand, and they supported each other as they moved forward.
The path in the cave was very narrow and uneven, winding and rugged. The two beauties from the Ouyang Family could only feel their way forward while also being on guard against a sudden attack from Sito Leidong.
Both of them listened intently for any subtle sounds, trying to locate Sito Leidong's hiding place with their ears.
After walking just a few steps, they heard a sound like waves crashing against the shore coming from deeper within the cave. Ouyang Feixue exclaimed excitedly, "Ah, there's water inside! Let's hurry and take a look; that guy might have already run far away."
Ouyang Shaohua knew that with the sound of water, they had to be even more cautious about a sudden attack from their opponent because the sound of water could mask his movements. So Ouyang Shaohua tightly held onto Ouyang Feixue, preventing her from running off, while still feeling her way forward and trying to keep her footsteps silent to avoid revealing their position. However, Ouyang Feixue kept struggling to break free and run ahead to take a look, creating a lot of noise.
In a moment of distraction, Ouyang Feixue managed to slip out of Ouyang Shaohua's grasp and ran ahead confidently, calling back to Ouyang Shaohua, "Auntie, I'll go ahead first and catch that guy!"
Then, Ouyang Feixue dashed forward with loud thuds.
Ouyang Shaohua had no choice but to follow closely behind. However, she remained very alert, matching her footsteps to Ouyang Feixue's rhythm while also listening for any other noises.
But after they had run about five hundred meters into the red area, they suddenly heard "puff puff" sounds followed by a startled scream from Ouyang Feixue.
