After passing through the last checkpoint, the secret chamber deep inside the hall finally came into view.

In the center of the secret chamber, a figure was chained to the stone wall, his breath faint. It was Su Muyan, whom they had been searching for.

Lu Jinghong's pupils shrank sharply, and almost instantly he drew his sword and rushed over, his fingertips swirling with spiritual energy, trying to shatter the black iron chains binding Su Muyan.

"Don't touch it!" Li Guang's voice followed closely behind, tinged with urgency.

Lu Jinghong's fingertips stopped just three inches away from the chain, and a layer of dark purple light appeared on the black chain, with a faint surge of poisonous evil energy.

He felt a chill run down his spine, withdrew his spiritual power, and bent down to check Su Muyan's breath. His hand touched a cold object, but fortunately, there was still a trace of life remaining.

"It is a Soul-Locking Chain, forged with Netherworld Iron, which not only locks the body but also the soul."

Li Guang slowly approached, her gaze falling on the seven black bone nails embedded at the end of the chain. "The bone nails have pinned down his seven souls. If the chain is forcibly broken, his soul will dissipate on the spot."

Li Guang watched in amazement and asked, "What exactly is Su Muyan's identity? Is he worthy of such special treatment? Or is there something special about his physique that makes these old monsters go to such lengths for him?"

Lu Jinghong did not hide anything from his lover: "I was born with a sword-like spirit and a pure yang body."

Li Guang was particularly surprised. Isn't this the standard for male protagonists?

But the male protagonist of this world is actually her ex-husband who cultivated the ruthless path. Baili Chengzhou was taken in as a disciple by Lan Yuan because he possessed sword bones.

As for Baili Chengzhou, he is not of pure Yang constitution, a fact that Li Guang is well aware of, after all, they were once a real couple.

Su Muyan is only somewhat famous in Lizhou. In other states, he is probably not considered outstanding. No one outside the state has ever heard that he was born with a sword bone, let alone a pure yang body.

Could it be that the Qingxuan Sect was trying to protect him?

In the original storyline, Baili Chengzhou's fame spread throughout the continent, while Su Muyan remained unknown. Could it be that he perished along the way?

Only in this way can we explain why someone with such a configuration is not as famous as Baili Chengzhou.

In fact, Lu Jinghong was not among the prominent figures who later stirred up the mainland.

Could it be that these two unfortunate brothers both perished in the Golden Feather Secret Realm?

Thinking back to Su Muyan, whom I met with the demonic cultivator last time, he wasn't particularly strong, but it's possible that he was injured before, which affected his performance.

Li Guang suppressed her doubts and pressed on, "Really? Is the talent of having innate sword bones something like cabbage, something you can find everywhere?"

While observing the surroundings of the secret chamber, Lu Jinghong asked his lover, "Hey, have you ever seen anyone else who is born with sword bones? There's no one on this continent who openly declares that they are born with sword bones."

Su Muyan is only at the Qi Refining stage now, so he would never reveal himself. He was sent to the Qingxuan Sect by his family as soon as he was born. If my mother hadn't been at the Qingxuan Sect back then, she wouldn't have known about this.

Even the Heavenly Sword Sect has never heard of anyone with sword bones. Hmm, it seems there's a rumor circulating in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion that Lan Yuan's newly accepted disciple possesses extraordinary talent and is suspected to have innate sword bones.

Li Guang wanted to find out about Lan Yuan and the others, but felt it wasn't the right time. She decided to rescue Su Muyan first and then ask Lu Jinghong after they got out.

It was even colder and more gloomy here than outside. The stone walls were covered with twisted runes, and several broken jade slips were scattered on the ground, along with the remains of more than a dozen cultivators who had long since turned into skeletons. Judging from their clothing, they should have been cultivators who entered the Golden Feather Secret Realm in previous years.

While searching for clues on the skeleton, Li Guang actually found a jade slip.

Her fingertips brushed against the jade slip with spiritual energy, and the remaining characters emerged, a fragmented record—"The Hall of Inheritance was formed from the ashes of an ancient battlefield. Within the hall are imprisoned remnants of souls that have existed for millennia, and the Spirit-Eating Clan dwells within... They use the bodies of living people as their nests, possessing and surviving..."

Her brows furrowed deeper as she handed the jade slip to Lu Jinghong: "This Inheritance Hall isn't a place of opportunity at all, but rather a hunting ground for ancient remnant souls and the Spirit Devouring Clan. Over the years, countless cultivators who have entered and exited the Golden Feather Secret Realm have been possessed by ancient remnant souls, and countless members of the Spirit Devouring Clan have left the realm. And Su Muyan is now…"

Lu Jinghong understood her meaning: Su Muyan was imprisoned so that they could take advantage of her when she was at her weakest.

Is Su Muyan still the same person he was before?
