Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

"Hey, look at me!"

Youming (Xiao Hei) silently approached the outermost energy barrier of the Soul-Severing Abyss. He formed hand seals, and ghostly blue flames danced and condensed in his palms, mixed with a trace of dark element and illusionary fluctuations.

"Boom!" A ball of ghostly fire the size of a basketball was slammed into the light barrier. Although it did not cause any substantial damage to the barrier, the violent energy fluctuations, the blinding blue light that burst forth instantly, and the simulated spiritual energy shockwave that seemed to be someone forcibly breaking the formation immediately attracted the attention of the nearby patrol team.

"Who goes there?" Several air patrolmen riding bone vultures immediately swooped down and shouted.

Youming had already transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into the mist of the swamp, leaving only a few wisps of aura mixed with the scent of the nearby swamp crocodiles, making it difficult for the patrolling soldiers to distinguish the real from the fake.

Immediately afterwards, at another weak point in the barrier, he used illusion magic to create several blurry figures that stealthily attempted to cross the light barrier, accompanied by several small "explosions" and illusions of energy dissipation.

"Enemy attack! Someone has broken through the lines!"

"Quickly, increase vigilance! Suspicious energy fluctuations detected in the southeast!"

The guards outside the Soul Abyss were thrown into chaos, with alarms sounding one after another.

Just as the guards' attention was drawn to the Netherworld, the White Tiger (Bear Big) deliberately exposed himself and swaggered in front of a patrolling Wolf Fang Guard squad.

"Halt! Who goes there?" the Wolf Fang Guard squad leader shouted sternly.

"Roar!" White Tiger (Big Bear) roared, and without saying a word, he swung his arm, which was thicker than a normal man's thigh, and charged forward like a bull.

His attacks were wide and powerful, sending several Wolf Fang Guards staggering backward. However, he deliberately controlled his strength and did not kill them, only leaving them in a sorry state.

"This stupid bear has incredible brute strength!" The Wolf Fang Guard squad leader was secretly shocked, but with their superior numbers and excellent teamwork, they quickly regained their footing and began to besiege the White Tiger.

After a fierce resistance, Baihu, seeing that he was outnumbered, let out another angry roar, smashed two soldiers aside, and then turned and fled in a sorry state towards the direction where Fengxiao (Old Feng) was waiting.

"Useless! You can't even stop a bear demon! Chase after them!" the Wolf Fang Guard squad leader ordered in a fit of rage.

Feng Xiao (Old Feng) had already met Bai Hu and You Ming at the designated location. He led the two through the dense forest and left misleading footprints and scent traces along the retreat route, making the Wolf Fang Guards completely fooled.

Deep within the Soul Abyss Fortress, the Ghost-Faced Owl King, responsible for guarding the area, received several reports about "unidentified powerful individuals forcibly breaking through the restrictions" and "bear-clan savage demons provoking the patrol team."

This cunning and suspicious demon king initially suspected it was a ploy to lure the enemy away from the mountain, but as more and more reports came in, and even several small teams had engaged in battle with the "enemy," bringing back information about the "enemy's" presence and traces of combat, he had no choice but to start taking it seriously.

"Hmph, a bunch of cowardly rats hiding their heads and tails, do they really think this Soul Abyss is a place I can come and go as I please?" Ghost-Faced Owl King let out a chilling laugh. "Send down the order to increase the density of patrols around the perimeter, and all squads to be on high alert. Also, send out the 'Ghost Shadow' squad. I want to see which blind fool dares to run wild on my territory!"

The Ghost-Faced Owl King's attention and a portion of his elite forces were firmly drawn to the "lively" scene created by Youming, Baihu, and Fengxiao at the Soul-Severing Abyss. His feint attack had already succeeded halfway.

Meanwhile, the rescue team led by Nalan Rongzhi (Nalagu), including Dilin (Atu), Anye (Xiaohui), Panshilie, and five elite warriors of the Panshi tribe, has quietly arrived at their destination—Blackstone Mine.

Under the cover of darkness and the terrain, Pan Shi Lie and his chosen tribesmen played a crucial role. With their familiarity with the mountains, they led the team to precisely avoid all known sentries, hidden checkpoints, and traps.

Finally, we arrived at the foot of a cliff, where a wide waterfall cascaded down from the top of the cliff, making a deafening roar.

“The entrance is right behind the waterfall!” Pan Shi Lie pointed to the waterfall and said in a low voice, “This old mine tunnel has been abandoned for many years, and the entrance is hidden by the waterfall, so very few people know about it.”

Nalan Rongzhi nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to An Ye (Xiao Hui). An Ye (Xiao Hui)'s figure, like a ghost, instantly pierced through the water curtain and disappeared behind the waterfall.

A moment later, his voice rang in everyone's minds, "Safe. There are no guards in the mine for the time being, but... there are traps."

The group immediately followed, passing through the icy curtain of water. Sure enough, behind the waterfall, there was a dark cave entrance. The entrance was not large, only wide enough for two people to pass side by side. Inside, there was a damp, cold smell with a strong mineral odor.

Dark Night (Little Grey) floated at the very front of the group like a ghost, his superhuman soul perception fully activated, like radar, scanning everything in the mine ahead.

"Ten feet ahead, on the left stone wall, there are trigger-activated soul blast runes, which will activate upon contact."

"Thirty feet ahead, three feet below the ground, there is a bewitching incense array; those who inhale it will fall into hallucinations."

"At the corner ahead, there are two prison guards, their breathing weak, as if they are dozing off."

An Ye continuously and accurately transmitted the information he had gathered to Nalan Rongzhi and Pan Shilie. Under his guidance, the team cautiously advanced, successfully avoiding one trap and restriction after another.

When faced with a crucial guard point that could not be bypassed, Nalan Rongzhi (Nalagu) flashed, flicking two thin strands of dark element from his fingertips, instantly piercing the foreheads of the two prison guards. The two guards fell to the ground without even uttering a sound, losing their life force.

Nalan Rongzhi's movements were extremely fast and ruthless, yet perfectly controlled, without causing any unnecessary energy fluctuations.

Pan Shi Lie and several warriors from the Pan Shi tribe were secretly alarmed. This "Naragu" was far more powerful than they had sensed in the council hall!

Despite some close calls, the rescue team successfully penetrated deep into the abandoned mine tunnels thanks to precise reconnaissance in the dark and Nalan Rongzhi's swift and decisive actions. According to the map, they were not far from the core prison area where the old ministers were being held.

“It’s just ahead.” Pan Shi Lie pointed to a fork in the road blocked by a heavy stone door. “The map shows that passing through this stone door leads to the core prison area of ​​Blackrock Mine.”

The stone door was made of hard obsidian and was covered with defensive runes, so it was obviously not easy to open.

“A-Tu.” Nalan Rongzhi looked at Di Lin.

Di Lin (A Tu) nodded. He walked to the stone gate, closed his eyes, concentrated all his energy, and slowly activated the power of his bloodline.

An invisible yet noble and powerful wave of demonic energy spread out from him, penetrating the heavy stone doors and restrictions, and probing into the interior of the prison area.
