at this time.

the other side.

The four of them rushed towards the Demon Abyss. During the flight, Luo Yang always kept a distance of half a meter from Ye Chuhan, staring at him closely, as if he was on guard against something.

Ye Chuhan felt helpless being stared at and couldn't help but joke: "Brother Luo, your eyes are almost seeing through me. I won't eat Cang Ziang, why are you so nervous?"

Luo Yang kept a cold face and didn't respond. He just quickened his pace to catch up with Mingchuan and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Ziang, when we get to the Demon Abyss later, you must stay close to me and Elder Jin. Ye Chuhan's mind is unpredictable, don't let him scheme against you."

Mingchuan suppressed his laughter and nodded: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

Jin Man glanced at Ye Chuhan, shook her head helplessly, and ignored him.

Seeing that Luo Yang was still staring at him, Ye Chuhan shrugged and put away his joking expression.

"Don't worry, I'm really just here to look for clues, not to cause trouble. Jian Wu is related to the Dark Shadow of the Demonic Abyss. This matter involves the safety of the Spirit Realm. I want to find out more than you do."

Luo Yang snorted coldly and didn't respond.

The four of them soon arrived at the edge of the Demon Abyss.

Unlike before, the Demon Abyss is now shrouded in two layers of seals.

The outer layer is the remaining soul-locking formation of Qingfeng Yumen. The residual light is weak but still running.

The inner layer is the demon-suppressing barrier set up by Longyin Temple. It is glowing with thick golden light, and the phantom of a giant dragon hovering above the barrier is emitting a dragon's might that can shock the demonic energy.

There was no grass growing on the ground, and the demonic energy in the air, although sealed and suppressed, still carried a biting chill.

As soon as Mingchuan landed, the suction force in his body suddenly increased, as if an invisible hand was desperately pulling him into the abyss.

His expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the Liuyun soft sword.

"What's wrong with you?" Jin Man noticed his abnormality at the first moment and asked hurriedly.

"The suction got stronger." Mingchuan lowered his voice. "The moment I approached the seal, it felt like... something inside the seal was calling me."

He spoke very quietly so that only Jinman could hear him.

The other two were already observing at this moment.

Jin Man patted Mingchuan's shoulder gently and responded in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will help you check it clearly this time to avoid any accidents in the future."

Mingchuan nodded.

Ye Chuhan walked to the Soul Locking Formation, brushed his fingertips across the formation pattern, and frowned. "The Soul Locking Formation's spiritual power is almost exhausted. It relies entirely on the cultivators' essence and blood to support it. Although the Dragon Yin Temple's demon-suppressing barrier is strong, it seems to be slowly being eroded by some force."

"Look at the edge of the barrier. There are tiny black cracks."

When everyone got closer to take a look, they saw that the golden light of the demon-suppressing barrier was indeed covered with black lines that were difficult to see with the naked eye, as if demonic energy was slowly infiltrating.

Luo Yang's face was solemn. "Jian Wu's jade slip said that the black shadow pushed the Demon Lord to break the seal. Could it be that the black shadow is still trying to break the seal?"

Jin Man took out a purple jade talisman, injected spiritual power into it, and stuck it on the barrier.

The jade talisman glowed faintly, and after a moment, she retracted the talisman with a serious expression.

"The demonic energy within the barrier is very chaotic, and... I sensed two different forces... One is the Demon Lord's aura, and the other is even more eerie, cold, overbearing, and even more dangerous than the Demon Lord's aura. It must be the black shadow that Jian Wu mentioned."

Mingchuan's heart sank suddenly, and the suction in his body seemed to become stronger as if confirmed by Jinman's words.

He could vaguely feel that the cold power was passing through the seal and secretly resonating with the dragon energy in his body.

But Luo Yang was right next to him, so he couldn't reveal his dragon energy, let alone use his spiritual power to detect it openly.

He could only suppress the surging blood and energy, calmly clenched the Liuyun soft sword, and gave Jin Man a hidden look.

Jin Man immediately understood and stepped forward, standing between Mingchuan and Luo Yang. She said to Ye Chuhan, "Ye Chuhan, you are familiar with the Soul Locking Formation. Why don't you take a closer look at this demonic energy corroding the barrier? Are there any special patterns?"

"Perhaps we can follow the lines and find the weak point of the shadow."

Ye Chuhan understood that Jin Man was covering for Mingchuan, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll check it out. Brother Luo Yang, keep an eye on the barrier for me. If any demonic energy leaks out, alert me immediately."

When Luo Yang heard this, his attention was indeed drawn to it. He stared at the edge of the barrier and no longer paid attention to Mingchuan.

Jin Man took the opportunity to get close to Mingchuan and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Don't act rashly. Let me test it. Feel the source of the suction carefully. Tell me immediately if you find anything unusual."

Mingchuan nodded, and quietly gathered a faint trace of ordinary spiritual power without dragon energy at his fingertips, and placed it on his wrist.

He wanted to use this spiritual power to indirectly sense the connection between the suction and the seal without being noticed by Luo Yang.

On the other side, Jin Man took out the purple jade talisman and injected spiritual power into it again, sticking it to the barrier.

The jade talisman flickered faintly, and she deliberately frowned, as if trying to distinguish it carefully.

"This demonic energy is mixed with a hint of wood energy, very similar to Jian Wu's magic vine formation... Could it be that the black shadow is related to the wood spiritual power of Jinling Pavilion?"

These words not only conveyed information to Mingchuan, but also diverted Luo Yang's attention.

Luo Yang really came over: "Wood aura? Jian Wu is dead, could there be other Jinling Pavilion disciples colluding with the black shadow?"

"But now the remaining disciples of Jinling Pavilion are no longer a threat. The only ones I'm worried about are their elders..."

"But those elders should be watched by our clan leaders now, right?"

While Luo Yang was distracted, Mingchuan quietly sent the weak spiritual power in his wrist along the ground towards the barrier.

But just as the spiritual power approached the seal, a cold thought suddenly came from the abyss.

It was like countless ice needles brushed past his sea of ​​consciousness. Although they didn't directly impact him, the suction force in his body suddenly became violent!

It was as if an invisible hand was grabbing his heart, trying to drag him into the abyss!

Mingchuan's face turned pale and he staggered half a step subconsciously. Fortunately, he grabbed the rock beside him in time to stabilize his body.

Luo Yang noticed something was wrong and turned to look at him: "Junior Brother Ziang, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"

"It's okay," Mingchuan suppressed the dull pain in his chest and forced a pale smile. "Maybe I was hit by Jian Wu before, and now the coldness of the Demon Abyss is too strong. I can't bear it."

Jin Man hurried forward and gently placed her hand on Mingchuan's shoulder.

It seemed like he was helping him block the cold, but in fact he was injecting a gentle fire spiritual power into his body, quietly suppressing the violent suction force, while speaking to Luo Yang.

"The Demonic Abyss has a strong yin energy. Junior Brother Ziang consumed some spiritual energy in his previous fight with Jian Wu, so it's inevitable that he will be affected."

"Brother Luo, please help Ye Chuhan watch over the Soul Locking Formation first. I'll take Ziang to the side to recuperate for a while and will be back soon."

Although Luo Yang was a little confused, he saw that Mingchuan did look unhappy and that Jin Man was with him, so he did not ask any more questions. "Okay, go and come back quickly. Someone needs to keep an eye on this place."

Jin Man helped Mingchuan walk to a rock not far away, away from Luo Yang's sight, and then asked in a low voice.

"How was it? Was there any movement just now?"
