Just as he was about to cast the spell, the spiritual aura fluctuations around him intensified, as if the surrounding spiritual aura had turned into boiling water, boiling and rolling.

"What's going on?!"

Li Jinzhi put away the spell and looked around vigilantly. The only thing he could see were the earth walls and more earth walls.

Ye Cheng shook his head and wrapped his tail tightly around Li Jinzhi's arm. After releasing his spiritual aura, he surrounded the two of them in a protective manner.

Since the boiling spiritual aura could affect them in the void, there was a chance of danger.

The most important thing for a cultivator to walk in the Cultivation World was to be vigilant. When they met Moksha earlier, he underestimated them because they hid their cultivation. He let down his guard and lost his life.

With such a big movement, the man outside naturally noticed that the boiling spiritual aura was unusually violent. As soon as his Divine Sense touched the spiritual aura, it was swallowed up.

The man's face was filled with shock, as if he had thought of something extremely terrifying. His face was deathly pale, and almost without thinking, he turned around and rushed back the way he had come. In the blink of an eye, he had approached the corner and was about to disappear at the end.

At this moment!

A large cluster of blue flames flashed out of the earth wall. In the blink of an eye, it was behind the man, and in another flash, it wrapped around the man. The blue flames flashed and disappeared, along with the man at the end of the passage.

All of this happened almost in the blink of an eye. Li Jinzhi and Ye Cheng, who were hidden in the void, were stunned on the spot. They had never seen such a crushing kill.

From the beginning to the end, it really only took a blink of an eye. His eyelids closed and opened, and the man was dead?

He didn't even reveal a trace of Yuanying.

What exactly was that ball of blue flame?

The frightened expression on the man's face just now showed that the other party clearly knew the reason for the boiling spiritual aura.

Li Jinzhi suppressed his breath to the lowest level and looked around vigilantly in the void, because he found that the surrounding spiritual aura was still boiling crazily, and it didn't diminish because of the man's death.

His nerves were stretched to the limit, but his thoughts were running wildly. What did this mean?

This meant that the attacker's target was not the man.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

A fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his body. If that was really the case, when did that thing hide and play the role of the oriole?

Was it when they were fighting, or earlier, when they tore open the void here?

But no matter what, their existence was exposed.

This underground world didn't seem to be as easy as the two of them had imagined. The two of them had never come into contact with those unknown and strange forces.

After all, the insectoids could also morph. Insectoids with sentience had never shown themselves above the fourth floor. The two of them had walked for so long, but they did not see a single insectoid queen. Even the insectoid hives they came across were empty.

What did this mean?

This meant that Zerg had hidden the core of his forces. Those above Level 4 were probably just abandoned pawns and insignificant larvae.

If the tens of thousands of insects on Level 4 were just abandoned pawns and larvae, then what about the core of Zerg hidden on Level 5?

Li Jinzhi's eyes darkened. He lowered his head to look at Ye Cheng, but saw that the other party's eyes were even more serious. He pursed his lips as if he was thinking about something.

Just at this moment, at the spot where the man had been swallowed, the blue flame flickered once again. It was like a ball of will-o '-the-wisp suddenly sprang up. No one was controlling it, and it floated towards Li Jinzhi and Ye Yu's direction.

Li Jinzhi swallowed his saliva, and his face darkened slightly. He subconsciously took a step back, and the white void around him trembled slightly, as if it was extremely unstable.

Ye Cheng pinched his hand on the other party's sleeve and said telepathically, "Don't panic, the person controlling it can't discover our existence. Have you forgotten?

This is your void, and you are the master here! "

Li Jinzhi heard this and nodded. His face was still pale, but the shaking void stabilized. "I'm scared." The ball of will-o '-the-wisp flickered and moved closer to Li Jinzhi. Coupled with the dark passage, it gave Li Jinzhi a headache. He didn't even dare to watch horror movies in the past.

Before he could react, the dragon that was tightly wrapped around his hand suddenly loosened its tail. As soon as its weight disappeared, he felt like he had lost something to rely on. The fear in his heart grew stronger.

Before he could turn his head to look for the person, his eyes were covered by a pair of warm and soft hands. Ye Cheng whispered in his ear with a low and hoarse voice, "If you're scared, don't look. Leave it to me."

Li Jinzhi's ears twitched from the hot air. He felt the hot body pressed against his back. The other party's hands reached behind his back and covered his eyes, giving him the illusion that he was being hugged.

Li Jinzhi's hands clenched under his sleeves. When he thought of the will-o '-the-wisp outside, he resisted the urge to slap the other party's hands away. He said in a muffled voice, "Okay."

When a person was faced with something terrifying, their thinking would be affected. It was better not to look, not to listen, and not to smell.

Ye Cheng was right. This void was his world. If the people outside could find them, they wouldn't have waited until now.

At least they were still safe for now.

This was his world. As long as he steadied his mind and wasn't affected by other things, and stabilized this place, there wouldn't be any major problems.

Yes, stabilized.

He slowly released his divine perception and calmed the spiritual energy in the void. He slowly integrated his mind into the world membrane and sensed the surrounding environment.

That layer of impetuosity and fear seemed to have been thrown to the back of his mind. The aura around him also became more and more relaxed.

Ye Cheng's palm was tickled twice by Li Jinzhi's long eyelashes. His heart itched. After he felt the other party close his eyes, he clearly sensed that the spiritual energy around him was becoming more and more stable. Even the air slowly carried a soothing aura.

He felt that the other party's tense body was slowly relaxing until the other party's entire weight was on him. A certain someone's arms became tighter and tighter, as if he was pulling the other party into his arms.

The blue flames in the outside world suddenly stopped and floated around them. They looked leisurely and aimless, as if they were just going in circles.

Ye Cheng took a step back with Li Jinzhi, making way for the flames to move. Then, Ye Cheng floated to their feet.

He can see?

Ye Cheng was alarmed, but there was no change in his expression. This time, he didn't move. Instead, he quietly released a ball of black flames. As soon as the flame came out, he threw it to the end of the passage.

At this moment, the originally motionless blue flame was like a dog that saw a bun. It suddenly pounced forward and spun towards the black flame in the void.

However, it would definitely not be able to catch that ball of fire. After rolling a few times at the end, Ye Yu snapped his fingers twice. After the pitch-black ball of fire dissipated, the faint blue ball of fire wobbled back.

Ye Cheng saw this and felt relieved.

Sure enough, the flame didn't know that they were in the void. At most, like the man, it knew that there were people here. The reason why it stayed here was because of the spiritual energy fluctuations.

It could cause such intense spiritual energy fluctuations, so it should be extremely sensitive to spiritual energy fluctuations. Even the slightest spiritual energy fluctuation would probably attract its attention.

The spiritual energy fluctuations contained in the black ball of light were even more intense, so it chased after them.

That was why the man became the target of the flame when he was flying at top speed. It had to be known that spiritual energy was emitted in a geyser, so there was no need to mention the intensity of the spiritual energy fluctuations.

With a guess in mind, Ye Cheng thought of a way to deal with it. Since the blue ball of light was most likely caused by spiritual energy fluctuations, he had to isolate the two of them from the outside world.

He absorbed all the spiritual energy in his body into his dantian, as if he were a mortal without any spiritual energy. Then, he took out two pitch-black cloaks from his storage bag. They were the ones that the two of them had worn in the Northern Chill Realm. However, the two of them weren't very tall now, so the cloak was just enough to cover them.

The cloak had no other use except to isolate spiritual energy from leaking out.

Because it was used to hide one's cultivation and isolate one's Divine Sense, no matter how turbulent the spiritual energy inside the cloak was, it couldn't be detected from the outside.

Sure enough, as soon as the cloak was put on, the blue flame outside paused for a moment. It circled around and then slowly stagnated, as if it was trying to identify something.

However, it obviously didn't find anything. After circling around again, it slowly stagnated and stopped moving.

Ye Cheng opened his eyes just as he was covered, but what he saw was pitch black. "What's wrong?"

Ye Cheng calmly tightened his arms and calmly transmitted his voice back. "I suspect that this blue flame senses its surroundings through spiritual energy fluctuations."

Li Jinzhi was slightly stunned when he heard this. After being reminded, he naturally thought of the various phenomena that had just happened. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ye Cheng's words made sense. He released his Divine Sense to check outside and found that the blue flame was indeed stagnant and still. He immediately felt relieved.

"As expected."

Ye Cheng was about to say something, but the other party's claw touched the bulge on his chest.

Li Jinzhi only felt that the other party was holding him too tightly and wanted to push him away. However, when he reached out to push him away, he felt a small soft thing. Then, that thing slowly hardened.

Li Jinzhi pulled his hand back with a dark expression. "Why aren't you wearing clothes?!"

"I just turned into a human and didn't have time to put on clothes." Ye Cheng's ears were slightly red. He rubbed his chin on the other party's shoulder, his face full of dependence.

Li Jinzhi was silent for a while, then only asked, "Why did you take off your clothes so quickly when you turned into a dragon?

In the blink of an eye, those clothes were put into the storage ring. "

Ye Cheng whispered, "That's different."

Li Jinzhi paused when he heard this. On second thought, it seemed to be much slower to put on clothes than to take off clothes …

Just as the blue flame in the outside world flickered slightly and froze in place, far away from the fourth floor of the Netherworld Palace on the fifth floor of the Netherworld Realm, a tall man with long hair that touched the ground and strange silver patterns on his face was looking at the large ball of blue flame in mid-air. The image displayed in the middle of the blue flame was the passage where Li Jinzhi and Ye Cheng were.
