However, when Tang Ao walked into the Wintry Spring, he discovered that the water in the Wintry Spring was actually scalding hot. Now that there was such a strange phenomenon, Tang Ao was even more certain that there was a Yan Jin Jing Jing at the bottom of the valley. Spirit force surged out from Tang Ao's body, forming a ball shaped barrier. Under the protection of the spirit energy protection, Tang Ao jumped into the boiling water.
As Tang Ao continued to dive deeper, the boiling water turned out to be magma. The frightening high temperature caused Tang Ao's spirit energy barrier to sizzle strangely, but Tang Ao was already a Third level of the Spirit Sea Realm cultivator, so dealing with such a situation would naturally not be a problem.
After diving for a while longer, Tang Ao saw a palm-sized, entirely golden stone not too far away. Seeing this piece of stone, Tang Ao was overjoyed, because this piece of stone was the legendary Yan Jin Jing Jing. Although Tang Ao had not obtained a Yan Jin Jing Jing in his previous life, he had seen it at an auction.
Therefore, Tang Ao directed his spirit energy towards the Yan Jin Jing Jing, slowly isolating it from the surroundings. The surrounding temperature was extremely terrifying, but the Yan Jin Jing Jing did not have that much of a temperature. After Tang Ao's spirit energy completely enveloped the Yan Jin Jing Jing, it became as warm as a normal rock.
After obtaining the Yan Jin Jing Jing, Tang Ao quickly left the valley, and then flew towards the valley where Liu Hanxiu and Xiao Kong were. But halfway through, Tang Ao realized that there was something strange not far away, as if there were thousands of people chasing after them.
Curious, Tang Ao flew over. Upon closer inspection, Tang Ao was shocked. Just as he had thought, there were indeed thousands of warriors chasing after one person. And this person who was being chased was none other than the eldest senior brother of the Seven Killing Sect, Dong Xuanye. Dong Xuanye fought as he escaped, but the people behind him had no intentions of giving up.
Tang Ao didn't understand how Dong Xuanye was being chased by so many people. According to Dong Xuanye's low profile and cautious personality, it shouldn't be easy to make enemies with him.
However, what Tang Ao did not know was that Dong Xuanye's luck this time in the Emperor of the Underworld's secret realm was extremely good. Last time, he found a pill room and obtained a lot of pills. This time, Dong Xuanye found another pill room, and just like last time, after Dong Xuanye broke the restriction, the medicinal fragrance of the medicinal pills in the pill room instantly spread outwards.
When the surrounding people discovered the medicinal fragrance of the pill, they immediately stood up and looked at Dong Xuanye. Dong Xuanye had not recovered from his injuries last time, so naturally, he was not willing to fight with these people head on. Furthermore, after obtaining the treasures twice in a row, the Emperor of the Underworld gave Dong Xuanye an illusion. It seemed that there were countless treasures in the Emperor of the Underworld, and in just a few days, he had obtained such a huge harvest.
Seeing that Dong Xuanye was being chased by a large group of people, Tang Ao naturally could not sit still and do nothing. Amongst the people who were chasing after Dong Xuanye, there were some warriors in the first and second levels of The Origin Martial realm, and some in the eighth and ninth level of The Origin Martial realm. Even wanting to stop the fleeing Dong Xuanye, Tang Ao did not think that these people could pose a threat to Dong Xuanye.
What Tang Ao cared about were the three fellows at the back of the crowd. After observing for a while, Tang Ao realised that Dong Xuanye had already broken through the Second level of the Spirit Sea Realm. Amongst the people chasing after Dong Xuanye, the last three of them were also at Second level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
It was just that the distance between them was too far, and the three of them had hidden themselves very well, so Tang Ao was unable to recognise the three of them for the moment.
