Although he experienced a night of magical adventures, Ye Tian did not feel the slightest bit tired, as he had been deeply contemplating Cloudscar's words on his way back.
Through analysis, he could roughly deduce that among all the Young Disciples in the Cloud Sea Sect, it seemed that only he had seen the true face of the Sect Master.
While this had no practical significance, Ye Tian was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy and still had some vanity. This made him quite excited; not everyone could earn the Sect Master's favor, not even established elites like Li Xun and Thunderstorm.
Moreover, Cloudscar also mentioned the relativity of character and strength, which indirectly indicated that both Ye Tian's strength and character were satisfactory to Cloudscar.
Early in the morning, Ye Tian planned to rest well and gather his energy to thoroughly contemplate Cloudscar's personal guidance.
However, the good times did not last long. He felt that he had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by a knocking sound at the door.
Outside came Duan Liu's rough and bold voice, "Ye Tian, Ye Tian, hurry up and get up! Something happened!"
"Something happened?" Ye Tian was startled and immediately thought that someone might have been plotted against by Qiu Ziming.
"Right now!" He hurriedly put on his clothes and got out of bed to open the door.
Duan Liu was standing at the door, nervously rubbing his hands together, with a very grim expression on his face.
"What happened?" Ye Tian calmed himself down; one must remain composed in order to devise a reasonable response to emergencies.
"Wine Kid is in trouble." Upon seeing Ye Tian, Duan Liu felt much more settled and spoke up.
"Wine Kid? That despicable person Qiu Ziming actually targeted Wine Kid!" Ye Tian was furious. Although Wine Kid had a close relationship with him and others, it seemed he had never participated in any conflicts with Qiu Ziming. For Qiu Ziming to strike at Wine Kid was truly unethical.
However, speaking of which, how could one expect someone like Qiu Ziming to adhere to any ethics?
"Not at all; it has nothing to do with Qiu Ziming." Duan Liu interrupted Ye Tian's thoughts.
"Oh? What happened?" Hearing that it wasn't Qiu Ziming's doing, Ye Tianxin felt much more at ease. Although Wine Kid often caused trouble, he shouldn't be able to stir up too much chaos.
"This guy has gone mad!" Duan Liu said as he pulled Ye Tian along. "Let's not talk about it, we need to go check it out quickly."
Before long, the two arrived in front of the thatched cottage. From a distance, they could hear a series of screams from inside that sounded like ghostly wails.
Ye Tianxin's heart sank; such sounds were hardly human. It reminded him of the scene when he fought against the Qin Family at Luoma Market.
At that time, Wine Kid seemed somewhat uncontrollable, filled with murderous intent, as if he craved blood and slaughter out of jealousy.
"Could it be that Wine Kid has a secret?" Ye Tian suddenly thought of himself. In the eyes of others, wasn't he also just a "normal person"? Compared to him, Wine Kid, who always seemed quite normal, might also be hiding an astonishing secret within.
Becoming a direct disciple at the age of twelve or thirteen, and not particularly outstanding in talent, yet being playful and lazy in his studies—someone like this entering Cloud Sea Sect was already quite unreasonable. Moreover, he had even become a direct disciple of a Master of the Pavilion.
In the past, Ye Tian hadn't thought much about these things. Now that everything connected together, it indeed felt like something was about to emerge.
At this moment, they had reached the door of the thatched cottage. Duan Liu stepped forward and gently knocked on the door, asking, "Wine Kid, Ye Tian is here. Can we come in?"
Inside, Wine Kid did not give any normal response; the terrifying screams continued unabated.
Ye Tian frowned and pushed open the door to enter.
"Wine Kid?" Ye Tian scanned around; the room was empty and he did not see Wine Kid's figure.
"Hey? Where is he?" Duan Liu was also quite surprised. The voice clearly came from inside the house; how could he suddenly be missing?
At this moment, Ye Tian recalled a secret passage that Wine Kid had shown him when he first arrived.
It was in a hidden spot at the corner on the east side of the house. He remembered Wine Kid saying that it was where he practiced his skills and wanted to show Ye Tian around. However, it was left unfinished because Xuanyuan Changfeng had returned unexpectedly.
Ye Tian quickly walked to that place and, upon careful observation, noticed that the ground looked slightly different. He then activated his Martial Origin Power and pressed down, hearing two muffled thuds before a dark passage appeared before him.
Duan Liu was startled, not expecting that there would be such a secret passage inside the thatched cottage. He exchanged glances with Ye Tian, and then they both jumped into the passage.
The passage was dimly lit. Duan Liu took out a fire stick and lit it, the yellowish glow illuminating a small area in front of them.
Ye Tian looked up and saw that the walls on both sides were smooth stone, without any marks from tools, suggesting they were naturally formed.
"Why does this place feel so eerie?" Duan Liu whispered.
Ye Tian did not respond; he sensed a strange aura moving rapidly ahead of them.
"Be careful," Ye Tian advised, taking the fire stick from Duan Liu and leading the way.
The passage was long and the ground felt very smooth, almost damp. After walking for about half an hour, they still had not seen any light or the Wine Kid.
However, Ye Tian's expression grew more serious because the previous aura had stopped, seemingly waiting for them.
"Five miles ahead, there's an inexplicable aura that's quite mysterious. I wonder if it's the Wine Kid," Ye Tian said as he walked, needing to prepare Duan Liu psychologically since something strange might have happened to the Wine Kid.
"What do you mean?" Duan Liu exclaimed, immediately recalling how the Wine Kid had gone mad before.
"Nothing much. By the way, where's our master?" Ye Tian couldn't explain clearly either; after all, he couldn't jump to conclusions without knowing the truth.
"Our master has been wandering outside for over a month. He left right after we returned last time," Duan Liu replied.
Ye Tian nodded. Xuanyuan Changfeng often traveled outside, which wasn't surprising. After all, Cloudscroll Pavilion had Li Xun and Ye Tian; although Li Xun could be somewhat impulsive and utilitarian, his capability in handling matters was undeniable.
After walking for a while longer, they began to hear rumbling sounds ahead. The noise wasn't loud but carried a sense of overwhelming power.
"Is there some gigantic creature ahead?" Duan Liu asked, somewhat frightened. Although he was not afraid of bloodshed, he had an innate fear of mysterious entities.
Ye Tian immediately thought of the giant Toad he had seen last night. The Cloud Sea Sect, shrouded in mist, seemed like a celestial paradise, but in reality, many unknown secrets lay hidden behind its ethereal beauty.
"Be quiet." Since Ye Tian could not discern where the rumbling sound was coming from, he could only strive to be cautious. After last night's events, he had gained a new understanding of his own strength. Perception? In front of those overwhelmingly powerful beings, he felt even less than an ant.
Even the ants, which were food for the Guardian Beast of the Sect, could chase after him for dozens of miles; how much more so for those inexplicable mysterious creatures?
Thus, the two proceeded carefully, neither speaking a word. The silence in the dark passage was unnerving; they could even hear each other's breathing.
Booming...
It seemed that the enormous entity was getting closer, as the rumbling sound became increasingly clear and even somewhat deafening at this point.
At the same time, Ye Tian sensed that strange aura was not far away.
At this distance, Duan Liu could already feel something. His palms began to feel cold, and a strong sense of agitation started to emanate from him involuntarily.
Ye Tian glanced at him with a worried expression. At this moment, Duan Liu still could not fully control the power of the Crimson Flame Ape. When it came to critical moments, his true nature would always be suppressed by the Crimson Flame Mad Ape's True Form.
Moreover, Ye Tian knew very well that the peculiar aura definitely came from Wine Kid. If Duan Liu lost control and went into a frenzy, it was highly likely that they would end up fighting each other.
Ye Tian was confident he could restrain Duan Liu's strength, but right now, it was mainly about Wine Kid. No one knew what had happened to him. Furthermore, with that deafening rumble, if it truly resembled a Guardian Beast of the Sect, then the situation would likely be beyond Ye Tian's control.
As they drew nearer, Duan Liu's body even began to emit an ethereal glow. It seemed as though the power of the Crimson Flame Ape within him had encountered some nemesis and automatically activated its true form.
Ye Tian's heart raced; he absolutely could not let Duan Liu lose control in this dark passage. The Crimson Flame Ape was extremely volatile and might provoke some unexpected trouble.
"Duan Liu?" Ye Tian called out lightly.
At this moment, Duan Liu had not completely lost consciousness and turned to look at Ye Tian upon hearing his voice.
Bang!
Ye Tian suddenly struck, delivering a chop to the back of Duan Liu's head. Caught off guard, Duan Liu never expected Ye Tian to attack him and fell unconscious immediately.
"..." Ye Tian grinned. He had used considerable force because he was worried that the Crimson Flame Mad Ape's True Form might exceed his expectations, so he had to take the risk of delivering a heavy blow. Fortunately, it seemed that Duan Liu did not suffer any unexpected consequences.
With Duan Liu knocked out, Ye Tian felt slightly more at ease but also began to wonder.
The Crimson Flame Ape was already a sixth-grade Earth-level beast. Although its strength was not particularly strong, it was certainly not weak either. He did not expect that the Mysterious Aura emitted by the Wine Kid could force it into an uncontrollable state, revealing its true form. There must be some secrets behind this.
"Why did my Crimson Dragon Golden Blood show no signs at all?" Ye Tian muttered softly but quickly understood.
Although he did not know the grade of the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood, based on its displayed power and what Xuanyuan Changfeng and Cloudscar had said, it was undoubtedly an incredibly extraordinary existence. Therefore, it was normal that it was not affected at this moment.
Rumbling!
As Ye Tian walked and thought, he realized that the sound of rumbling had reached a dizzying level.
Suddenly, a figure seemed to appear in the dimness ahead. In the shadows, its eyes glowed with a blood-red light...
