Ye Tian Yun ran straight towards the mountain, and upon reaching a considerable distance from the group, he immediately jumped in the air and began to fly around.

Spreading around his spirit sense, he searched for Gao Xuan.

‘What is he here for?’ 

Ye Tian Yun couldn’t help but think about it.

As far as he knew, there was only one precious thing in this place, and that was the High-tier Spirit Vien.

At first, Ye Tian Yun had thought Gao Xuan was heading there for the vein, but when he saw that the latter was going in the opposite direction, he didn’t bother much.

‘Is there something even more important…’

Considering the fact that Gao Xuan could have visited this place before Wang Yao got his hands on it, there was a chance there might be something even more important than the Spirit Vien.

‘Or he didn’t even know about the Spirit Vien…’

There were many possibilities, and only Gao Xuan knew the truth.

-BOOM!

Another explosion shook the group. Ye Tian Yun turned his head and glanced towards the bonfire.

To his surprise, his friends were still waiting for him.

‘Are they idiots?’

Ye Tian Yun didn’t feel any warmth; instead, he was quite annoyed by this.

They were risking their lives by staying there.

Ye Tian Yun glanced back and forth between the ground and them, and finally, shaking his head, he flew towards his friends.

But he didn’t appear in front of them. Rather, he just sent a spirit message to Jun Xie, who was staring towards the mountain with a worried expression.

<<Run from this place, you dumbass. What are you worried about?!>>

Jun Xie immediately came out of his stupor and looked around in surprise; however, he failed to locate Ye Tian Yun.

“What happened?” Zheng Xiang, who was standing a few steps behind him, noticed his strange action and couldn’t help but ask.

“Let’s go.” Jun Xie said, “Fang Chen will take care of himself.”

“What?” Zheng Xiang frowned, “But-“

“No.” Jun Xie turned around and jumped on a rock, “If we stay back, we will only be a burden on him. Let’s go.”

“Uh.. alright.” Zheng Xiang agreed and followed.

Wu Qingwu and Bai Qing’er also jumped on the rock, and then, taking the Golden Ferghana horses, they ran in the opposite direction of the Gao Village’s mountain.

Behind them, Ye Tian Yun had long left the scene.

After sending a spirit message to Jun Xie, he didn’t waste any more time.

Within a few seconds, he reached the mountain and stared at the cracks formed on the ground.

Just then –

“You need to find an entrance.”

A voice echoed in Ye Tian Yun’s mind. It was WangYao.

“An entrance?” Ye Tian Yun frowned, “Like a cave entrance?”

“Yeah,” Wang Yao nodded, “I remember the time when Wang Yao visited this place. I don’t remember the exact details because that whole path was destroyed because of such cracks.”

“Hm,” Ye Tian Yun frowned and began to circle the mountain while looking for any kind of entrance.

“Just look for two long trees coming out of a mountain rock.” Wang Yao said, “I am pretty sure that’s the place.”

Ye Tian Yun nodded and began to look for the trees with the fitting description.

About a minute later, he finally saw two trees coming out of a rock. They were near the edge of the mountain, and if not for Wang Yao telling him what to look for, he definitely wouldn’t have paid any attention to them. The trees didn’t stand out much from the forest and felt quite ordinary.

“The rock is still intact.” Wang Yao scratched his chin, “That’s good. The path is not yet destroyed. Go there, and you will find a cave.”

Ye Tian Yun nodded and flew towards the trees.

Upon stepping in front of the rock, the first thing he noticed was a two feet black hole on the ground near the rock.

“This…”

Ye Tian Yun frowned and stepped closer to it.

“There are steps inside it!” Wang Yao pointed at the black hole and added, “This entrance is below the rock. I think after a few explosions, the rack will crack, and its one-half will fall on this cave mouth.” 

Ye Tian Yun frowned, “Should I go in or not?”

“Of course you should! Is he not your friend?” Wang Yao shrugged.

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, “That’s not the matter. He came out of this place alive in the main timeline. So he can come out alive now too.”

Wang Yao frowned, “No, don’t compare both timelines. You have the power to save him right now; you should do it. Who is this friend of yours, by the way?”

Ye Tian Yun replied, “Gao Xuan.”

“Oh.. wait, what!?” Wang Yao was surprised, “Gao Xuan? From the Gao Clan? Why did you bring him here?!”

Ye Tian Yun frowned, “Is something wrong with that?”

Wang Yao shook, “Not really, it’s just I am surprised that you two are friends.”

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, “His information network is quite powerful. So he still has some uses for me.”

Wang Yao shrugged, “Then it’s the best opportunity for you. You can make him owe you a lot by saving him from this situation.”

Ye Tian Yun sighed and looked around.

“The entrance was below this rock; that’s why no one has ever found it,” he said. “Look at the ground. It’s clear the rock has moved places. Wang Yao, let’s hope saving Gao Xuan is worthwhile.”

Ye Tian Yun took a light breath and entered the pitch-black cave.

-BOOM!

Another explosion shook the mountain, and a sudden waft of dust passed by Ye Tian Yun.

‘Whatever the cause of these explosions is, it’s inside.’

Forgetting his initial hesitation, Ye Tian Yun flew through the cave and headed deeper.

Earlier, he was hesitating because there was a chance that this encounter might be a facetious encounter for Gao Xuan, and surviving this situation might have a good effect on his future.

‘Well fuck it, I will just get him out and leave this place.’
