The moment Xue Rong brought back the news, their hearts felt as if they were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, almost suffocating them. Fear, worry, helplessness, and other emotions surged like a tide, nearly overwhelming them. If Xue Rong hadn't strongly urged them to stop, they would have already rushed out to find their mother without hesitation.

"Miss, young lady," Bai Ruoan's gentle voice broke the morning's tranquility and interrupted the warm embrace between Shen Yunxi and Shen Ruoning: "Breakfast is ready. You can go and have some first. I'll go wake the young master up."

"Let's go have breakfast," Shen Yunxi said softly.

That day, Shen Yunxi and the others stayed at the inn to rest, and the two little ones were very well-behaved and did not disturb Shen Yunxi.

However, Di Xuanshang, who had disappeared for a day, returned in the evening.

"You didn't leave?" Shen Yunxi asked in surprise.

"no!"

After giving a simple two-word answer, he opened his hand, revealing a jet-black jade pendant. The pendant emitted a faint demonic aura, the very source of the power that had previously ravaged his body.

“This is…” Shen Yunxi looked at him in confusion.

Di Xuanshang handed her the jade pendant: "This jade pendant seems to be related to the demonic energy in my body. Perhaps it can help me find a way to suppress the demonic energy."

His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a hint of barely perceptible fatigue.

Shen Yunxi took the jade pendant, which was icy cold to the touch. A chilling demonic aura instantly wrapped around her fingertips, making her shiver.

The front of the jade pendant was engraved with a strange rune that she had never seen before, yet she felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

She examined the jade pendant over and over, trying to find some clues.

Suddenly, she noticed that there seemed to be something engraved on the back of the jade pendant, but it was covered by a layer of black stains and could not be seen clearly. She tried to remove the stains with her spiritual power, but found that the stains were extremely stubborn and could not be removed at all.

"What the hell is this?" Shen Yunxi frowned.

She tried various methods to remove the stains, but all ended in failure.

Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly remembered an ancient secret technique—using blood as a catalyst to break certain special seals.

Thinking of this, she bit her fingertip without hesitation and dripped her blood onto the jade pendant.

The moment the blood touched the jade pendant, a powerful suction force came, and the jade pendant greedily absorbed her blood, like a thirsty baby finally receiving the nourishment of mother's milk.

As blood was injected, the black stains on the jade pendant gradually disappeared, revealing the words hidden beneath: "Netherworld Ghost Realm, Blood Sacrifice Begins."

Upon seeing those words, Shen Yunxi's face instantly turned deathly pale, a chill running from her feet to the top of her head. She abruptly looked up at Di Xuanshang, her eyes filled with shock: "The Netherworld Ghost Realm... what kind of place is that?"

Di Xuanshang's expression also became solemn, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and a trace of worry flashed in his deep eyes. He had tried the same method on this jade pendant, but there was no reaction. So this jade pendant is related to Shen Yunxi, or rather, the Netherworld Ghost Realm can only be opened with Shen Yunxi's blood!

He paused for a moment and said, "Legend has it that the Netherworld is the birthplace of the demon race and one of the most dangerous places in the world. It is full of dangers and unknowns, and even demons with high cultivation do not dare to set foot there easily."
