Possessed by my father, I was reborn and became the supreme ruler.

Everyone crowded around, asking Ye Yunjian about his condition with concern, but his gaze remained fixed firmly on the distance, as if an even greater enemy awaited him. Ye Yunjian struggled to keep his swaying body afloat, a wave of exhaustion washing over him.

He felt sore all over, his spiritual energy was almost depleted, and his vision blurred intermittently.

Lin Yao quickly caught him, and Fairy Qingyu also rushed forward, asking with concern, "Young Master Ye, are you alright?"

Ye Yunjian forced a smile and shook his head: "I'm fine, just a little exhausted."

Lin Yao's eyes were slightly red. She gently held Ye Yunjian's hand and said softly, "You did a great job. We are all proud of you."

Fairy Qingyu's eyes were also filled with relief and joy. She said softly, "Young Master Ye, you are truly an extraordinary person."

Nie Hanshan and the others also gathered around, asking Ye Yunjian about his condition with concern.

Everyone supported each other, and a strong atmosphere of friendship and unity spread.

"Cough cough..." The mysterious man lying on the ground suddenly coughed violently, blood gushing from his mouth and staining the ground red.

He struggled to get up, but collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Ye Yunjian slowly walked up to the mysterious man, looking down at him without a trace of pity in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, and a dazzling light condensed in his hand, which he then thrust towards the mysterious man's heart.

"Ah!" The mysterious man let out a scream, his body convulsed violently, and finally lay motionless on the ground, completely lifeless.

The crowd cheered as they saw the mastermind of the conspiracy defeated.

The joy of victory overshadowed the previous fear and tension, and smiles radiated from everyone's faces.

After a brief celebration, everyone began to tally up what they had learned from the event.

The magical treasures, elixirs, and various rare materials scattered on the ground were all collected one by one.

Looking at the spoils in his hands, Nie Hanshan said excitedly, "This haul is really impressive!"

Suddenly, a strange noise came from deep within the cave.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a mysterious portal slowly appear before them.

The portal exuded a powerful aura that inspired awe and unease.

"What is this?" Gu Ling's voice trembled slightly.

Ye Yunjian frowned, a strange premonition rising in his heart.

He slowly walked towards the door, reached out his hand, and wanted to touch it...

"No!" Lin Yao exclaimed.

However, it was too late.

Ye Yunjian's hand had already touched the portal when a powerful force instantly pulled him inside...

The gate stood silently, like an ancient behemoth, exhaling a chilling aura.

The runes on it flowed and shimmered with a cold, eerie light, as if they contained endless secrets.

The surrounding air seemed to have solidified, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

A powerful force emanated from the portal, causing the space to distort slightly, and the pebbles on the ground to tremble gently, emitting a soft "rustling" sound.

Ye Yunjian slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared intently at the door.

An inexplicable attraction drew him irresistibly closer to it, to uncover the truth behind it.

He took a deep breath, circulated his spiritual power to protect himself, and walked towards the portal again.

"Yunjian, be careful!" Lin Yao shouted worriedly, her voice trembling slightly.

Ye Yunjian did not turn around, but simply nodded slightly, his steps becoming even more firm.

With each step he took, he felt the pressure increase, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

But he didn't stop, his eyes shining with determination.

As they drew closer to the portal, the powerful force became increasingly clear.

Ye Yunjian could even feel a slight stinging sensation on his skin, as if he were being pricked by countless tiny needles.

He gritted his teeth, endured the discomfort, and continued forward.

Suddenly, an invisible force yanked him away!

Ye Yunjian crashed to the ground like a kite with a broken string, raising a cloud of dust.

He groaned, feeling his internal organs tremble violently, and a metallic taste rising in his throat.

"Yun Jian!" Lin Yao exclaimed, rushing to Ye Yun Jian's side and helping him up. "Are you alright?"

Ye Yunjian shook his head, struggled to stand up, his gaze still fixed on the door.

He reached up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes showing no fear, but rather burning with even stronger fighting spirit.

“This portal… seems to be rejecting us.” Mo Chen said in a deep voice, his brows furrowed and his eyes flashing with a thoughtful light.

Ye Yunjian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I'll give it a try." He circulated his spiritual energy again, this time concentrating it at his fingertips and cautiously probing towards the portal...

The moment the spiritual energy at his fingertips touched the portal, a strong recoil force came from it, and Ye Yunjian groaned and staggered back a few steps.

The runes on the portal shone brightly, like dazzling stars, radiating a suffocating pressure.

"I'll give it a try!" Nie Hanshan shouted, and in a flash, he rushed to the door.

He thrust out both palms simultaneously, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy rushed toward the portal like a tidal wave.

However, the power of the portal far exceeded his imagination.

Nie Hanshan felt an overwhelming force come towards him, violently shaking him away.

"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood gushed out, and Nie Hanshan fell heavily to the ground, his face as pale as paper.

"Brother Nie!" Lin Yao exclaimed, rushing to Nie Hanshan's side with worry in her eyes.

Gu Ling was also terrified, her face turning pale, and she stammered, "This...this portal's power is too terrifying..."

Seeing Nie Hanshan injured cast a shadow over everyone's hearts, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive.

“Let me do it.” Ling Xuzi stepped forward, his hair and beard bristling, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, slowly casting an ancient and mysterious spell.

As Ling Xuzi chanted his incantation, the light from the runes on the portal gradually dimmed, and the suffocating pressure seemed to dissipate somewhat.

"It's working!" Ye Yunjian

However, this hope did not last long.

Just moments later, the runes on the portal shone brightly once more, and that powerful force returned, even stronger than before.

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats again, and the tension rose sharply.

Ling Xuzi's face was solemn, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He gritted his teeth and continued to cast spells, attempting to suppress the power of the portal.

Just then, a faint voice came from deep within the portal, like a call from ancient times, carrying a hint of eeriness and mystery...

"Come in……"

Lin Yao and Fairy Qingyu quickly helped the swaying Nie Hanshan up and gently laid him down on the ground.

Lin Yao gently waved her hand, and a soft green spiritual energy flowed into Nie Hanshan's body, nourishing his damaged meridians.
