Ye Dingzhi deliberately created an opening to lure the enemy into attacking. The enemy fell for it, rushing towards Ye Dingzhi. Ye Dingzhi dodged the attack with a swift movement, simultaneously wielding his demonic sword and unleashing a powerful sword aura towards the enemy.
·· ···Requesting flowers· ········
The enemies had no time to dodge and were struck by the sword energy, falling to the ground one after another. The leader's face darkened further upon seeing this.
"I didn't expect you to have some skills," the man said.
Ye Dingzhi looked at the man and asked, "Who exactly are you? Why are you stopping us?"
The man was silent for a moment, then said, "This crystal ball is a treasure we are guarding; we cannot let anyone take it away."
Ye Dingzhi's heart stirred: "What's so special about this crystal ball?"
The man said coldly, "This is none of your business. If you know what's good for you, leave now, or you'll all die."
........ ......... 0
Ye Dingzhi laughed: "This emperor wants to see just how capable you are." He raised the demonic sword again and charged towards the man.
The man, not to be outdone, drew a longsword and engaged Ye Dingzhi in fierce combat. Both were extremely powerful, and the battle was incredibly intense.
"Your swordsmanship is not bad, but you are still no match for me," Ye Dingzhi mocked.
The man glared angrily: "Don't be so arrogant!" His swordsmanship changed, becoming even more ferocious.
Ye Dingzhi remained calm and composed, engaging the man in a defensive maneuver. He noticed that the man's stance became somewhat unsteady during his attacks. He decided to seize this opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
Ye Dingzhi deliberately created an opening to lure the man into attacking. The man fell for it, thrusting his sword at Ye Dingzhi. Ye Dingzhi dodged the attack, simultaneously slashing his demonic sword towards the man's leg.
The man staggered as his leg was slashed. Ye Dingzhi seized the opportunity to close in, pressing his demonic sword against the man's throat.
"Tell me, what secret does this crystal ball hold?" Ye Dingzhi asked.
The man gritted his teeth: "I'm not telling you."

Ye Dingzhi's eyes turned cold: "Since that's the case, then you can die." Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly heard a voice.
"Wait!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man emerge from the depths of the cave. The old man had white hair, deep eyes, and exuded a powerful aura.
"Senior, who are you?" Ye Dingzhi asked.
The old man looked at Ye Dingzhi and said, "Young man, you are quite capable. But this crystal ball is not something you can get your hands on."
Ye Dingzhi frowned: "Why? What's so special about this crystal ball?"
The old man sighed, "This crystal ball is an ancient artifact, containing immense power. But it's also extremely dangerous; if it falls into the wrong hands, it will bring about a great disaster."
Ye Dingzhi was silent for a moment, then said, "Senior, I am not a bad person. I just want to explore this world and find ways to improve my strength."
The old man looked at Ye Dingzhi, seemingly deep in thought. After a while, he said, "Alright, I can tell you something about the crystal ball. But you must promise me that you won't let it fall into the wrong hands."
Ye Dingzhi nodded: "Don't worry, senior, I will definitely not let it fall into the hands of bad people."
The old man slowly said, "This crystal ball contains mysterious power that can greatly enhance a person's strength. However, it will also test a person's will. If one's will is not firm, one will be controlled by the power of the crystal ball and become a monster who only knows how to kill."
Ye Dingzhi's heart skipped a beat: "I see. Then, senior, is there any way to control the power of the crystal ball?"
The old man shook his head: "There is currently no way to completely control the power of the crystal ball. But if you have a strong will and a pure heart, perhaps you can give it a try."
Ye Dingzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you for informing me, senior. I will consider it carefully."
The old man looked at Ye Dingzhi and said, "Young man, you have a long road ahead of you. I hope you can make the right choice." After saying that, the old man turned and left the cave.
Ye Dingzhi watched the old man's departing figure, lost in thought. He wondered if he should risk trying to control the crystal ball's power.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" a master asked.
Ye Dingzhi was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's leave here first, and we'll talk about this later."
The group left the cave and continued their exploration of the island. They encountered several more dangers, but they overcame them all.
Deep within the island, they discovered an ancient palace. The palace gates were tightly shut, and the gates were covered with mysterious runes.
“This palace doesn’t look simple; it might hold some secrets,” Ye Dingzhi said.
They tried to push open the palace gates, but the gates wouldn't budge. Ye Dingzhi frowned, circulated his inner energy, and with a sudden push, the gates slowly opened, releasing an ancient aura.
A thin layer of mist permeated the palace, obscuring the view inside. Ye Dingzhi and the others cautiously entered the palace, where they saw a colossal statue in the main hall. The statue was incredibly lifelike, resembling a peerless powerhouse.
Just then, the statue suddenly opened its eyes, and a powerful aura emanated from its body.
"Who has disturbed my slumber?" the statue asked in a majestic voice.
Ye Dingzhi frowned: "We entered this place unintentionally. Please forgive us if we have offended you."
The statue chuckled: "Since you're here, play along with me..."
With that, the statue suddenly waved its hand, unleashing a powerful energy wave towards Ye Dingzhi and the others. Ye Dingzhi dodged the energy wave with a swift movement, and at the same time, he swung his demonic sword, sending a sword aura slashing towards the statue.
The statue showed no fear, using its body to block the sword energy. Then, the statue stomped its foot, causing the entire palace to tremble.
Ye Dingzhi and the others were shaken and staggered. Ye Dingzhi steadied himself and shouted to the crowd, "Everyone be careful, this statue is incredibly powerful."
The statue launched another attack, its fists carrying immense power as it repeatedly slammed towards Ye Dingzhi and the others.
Ye Dingzhi engaged in a fierce battle with the statue. He discovered that although the statue was powerful, it moved slowly.
He deliberately created an opening to lure the statue into attacking. The statue fell for it, and it suddenly slammed down with a punch. Ye Dingzhi dodged the punch with a quick movement, and at the same time, he slashed at the statue's leg with his demonic sword.
The statue's legs were slashed, and it let out a painful roar. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Dingzhi lunged forward, and his demonic sword plunged into the statue's chest.
The statue struggled a few times before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.
Ye Dingzhi sheathed his demonic sword and looked at the palace before him, his heart filled with curiosity. They continued to explore the palace and discovered some precious cultivation resources and secret manuals.
Deep within the palace, they encountered a mysterious room. The door to the room was covered with intricate runes, exuding an air of mystery.
“This room looks very unusual; there might be something important inside,” Ye Dingzhi said.
They tried to open the door, but it was sealed by a powerful force. Ye Dingzhi frowned, circulating his inner energy in an attempt to break the seal. However, the seal was extremely strong, and his attacks had little effect.

Just then, a deep roar suddenly came from inside the room. With the roar, a huge monster rushed out of the room.
The monster was enormous, radiating a powerful aura. Upon seeing Ye Dingzhi and the others, it immediately launched an attack.
Ye Dingzhi dodged the monster's attack with a swift movement, and at the same time, he swung his demonic sword, unleashing a sword aura towards the monster. The monster blocked the sword aura with its claws and let out a furious roar.
"This monster is not easy to deal with, everyone be careful!" Ye Dingzhi loudly reminded the experts around him.
Seeing that its attack had missed, the monster opened its blood-red maw again and lunged at Ye Dingzhi, spewing out a cloud of black smoke that seemed to contain a corrosive power. Ye Dingzhi shifted his feet, sliding several feet backward, while simultaneously wielding his demonic sword rapidly in front of him, forming a sword curtain that completely blocked the black smoke.
"Your Majesty, this monster's attacks possess a strange power; we cannot take them head-on," said a master, 23 holding a long spear and staring intently at the monster.
Ye Dingzhi nodded slightly: "I have already noticed it. We need to find a way to discover its weaknesses."
The monster wouldn't give them much time to think. Its enormous claw swung down again, creating a whistling sound. Ye Dingzhi's figure flashed, disappearing from his spot like a ghost, and reappearing beside the monster. He thrust his demonic sword forcefully towards the monster's side, but with a clang, the sword struck the monster's scales, only producing a string of sparks before failing to penetrate.
"These scales are so hard!" Ye Dingzhi frowned.
After being attacked, the monster turned around angrily, its long tail sweeping across. Seeing this, Ye Dingzhi pushed off the ground with both feet, leaping high into the air, flipping in mid-air, and landing steadily in the distance.
At that moment, a master of concealed weapons seized the opportunity, launching several hidden darts from his hand. The darts whistled through the air as they shot towards the monster's eyes. The monster seemed to sense this, tilting its head slightly, and the darts grazed its cheek.
"Everyone attack its eyes together, that might be its weak point!" Ye Dingzhi shouted.
Upon hearing the command, everyone launched an attack on the monster's eyes. In an instant, sword energy, hidden weapons, and magical light converged on the monster's eyes. The monster roared, its massive claws lashing out, deflecting most of the attacks, but a few hidden weapons still grazed its eyes, causing it excruciating pain.
The monster was utterly enraged. Its muscles tensed, and its scales seemed to stand on end. It stomped its foot, causing the entire palace to shake, and then charged towards the group, much faster than before.
Ye Dingzhi's eyes sharpened. He gripped the demonic sword with both hands and poured his true energy into it continuously. The demonic sword emitted a dazzling light, and he shouted, "Demon-Slaying Sword Style!" before charging towards the monster.
The demonic sword collided with the monster's claws, producing a deafening roar. Ye Dingzhi felt a tremendous force coming from the sword; his arm went slightly numb, but he gritted his teeth, forcibly steadied himself, and continued to push the demonic sword with all his might.
The monster was not to be outdone, and it reached for Ye Dingzhi's waist with its other claw. Seeing this, a master behind Ye Dingzhi hurriedly swung his long sword and blocked the attack.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to help you!" the expert shouted, and then together with Ye Dingzhi, they exerted their strength in an attempt to suppress the monster.
Other experts also surrounded the monster, attacking it from all directions in an attempt to distract it.
Ye Dingzhi seized the opportunity. While the monster was distracted by the attacks of others, he suddenly withdrew his sword, turned around, and circled behind the monster, thrusting the demonic sword toward the monster's eyes.
The monster sensed the danger behind it and tried to turn around, but the attacks from the surrounding crowd prevented it from reacting in time. Ye Dingzhi's demonic sword successfully pierced the monster's eye, and the monster let out a shrill scream.
Ye Dingzhi stirred it forcefully, completely destroying the monster's eyes. It struggled wildly, its massive body thrashing about, and everyone scattered to avoid it.
"Let's attack it together while it's injured!" Ye Dingzhi shouted.
The group swarmed around again, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the same spot on the monster's body. The monster's body gradually gave way, and it finally collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Ye Dingzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Is everyone alright?"
"Your Majesty, we are all well," the people replied.
Ye Dingzhi looked at the room guarded by the monster and said, "Let's continue exploring this room."
They reached the doorway, and Ye Dingzhi attempted to break the seal once more. This time, he channeled all his inner energy to its limit, placed his hands on the door, and chanted an ancient incantation. As he chanted, the light emanating from his hands grew stronger, and the sealing runes on the door began to flicker.
"Everyone, channel your inner energy into the door and give me a helping hand!" Ye Dingzhi shouted.
Everyone channeled their inner energy into the door. With their combined efforts, the seal finally began to loosen, and with a final "boom," it shattered, and the door slowly opened.

A mysterious fragrance filled the room, and in the center of the room sat an exquisite jade box. Ye Dingzhi stepped forward, gently picked up the jade box, opened it, and found a bead inside that emitted a soft glow.
“This bead doesn’t look simple,” Ye Dingzhi said.
"Your Majesty, could this be some kind of powerful magic weapon?" a master asked.
"Perhaps, let's put it away for now." Ye Dingzhi put the bead into his pocket.
They continued searching the room and discovered some precious elixirs and an ancient cultivation manual.
"Your Majesty, these elixirs and secret manuals are treasures to us!" an expert said excitedly.
Ye Dingzhi smiled and said, "Indeed, we have made quite a bit of progress this time."
The group left the room with the treasure and continued their exploration of the palace. They discovered more traps and mechanisms elsewhere in the palace, but thanks to their experience and skill, they successfully avoided or overcame them.
In a corner of the palace, they discovered a hidden passage. A chill permeated the passage.
"We don't know where this passage leads, so everyone be careful," Ye Dingzhi said.
They cautiously entered the passage, which was dimly lit, relying solely on the faint light emitted by their own internal energy.
After walking for a while, they heard the sound of flowing water ahead. Continuing on, they discovered an underground cave with an underground river inside, its water shimmering with an eerie light.
Just then, a group of fish-men-like creatures suddenly leaped out of the river. These fish-men wielded tridents, and their scales gleamed coldly in the dim light.
"Who are you? Why have you trespassed into our territory?" a merman leader asked in a sharp voice.
Ye Dingzhi said, "We did not enter this place by accident; we were just exploring this palace."
The merman leader sneered, "Whether you did it unintentionally or not, once you enter here, don't even think about leaving alive!"
After saying that, the fishman leader waved his trident, and the fishmen rushed towards Ye Dingzhi and the others.
Ye Dingzhi drew his demonic sword and said, "Looks like we're going to have to fight again."
The merfolk attacked with incredible speed, swimming nimbly through the water before suddenly leaping out to strike. Ye Dingzhi was the first to meet them, his demonic sword clashing with the merfolk leader's trident.
The merman chieftain tried to deflect Ye Dingzhi's demonic sword with a forceful flick, but Ye Dingzhi's arm remained as steady as a rock. He smoothly rotated his wrist, and the demonic sword slashed towards the merman chieftain's arm. The merman chieftain hurriedly retreated, his trident flashing in front of him to block the demonic sword's attack.
The other merfolk also clashed with Ye Dingzhi's men. While a skilled fighter was battling a merfolk, the merfolk suddenly spewed out a jet of water. The skilled fighter quickly dodged, then slashed at the merfolk with his longsword. The merfolk twisted its body, submerged into the water, and then attacked the skilled fighter from behind again. The skilled fighter was prepared; he performed a backflip, turned in mid-air, and thrust his longsword at the merfolk. The merfolk, unable to dodge in time, was pierced in the abdomen and fell into the water.
The battle between Ye Dingzhi and the merman leader intensified. The merman leader constantly changed the angle of his attacks, each swing of his trident accompanied by a sharp whistling sound. Ye Dingzhi, on the other hand, relied on his agile movements and powerful swordsmanship to contend with him.
"Your strength is nothing special, yet you dare to oppose His Majesty?" Ye Dingzhi mocked.
The merman leader roared angrily, "Human, you are too arrogant!" He increased the speed of his attack, and the trident's attacks rained down on Ye Dingzhi like raindrops.
Ye Dingzhi's eyes narrowed, and he began to take the merman leader's attacks seriously. He noticed that when the merman leader attacked rapidly, his lower body would reveal a slight opening.
He deliberately feigned an opening, his footing faltering slightly. The merman chieftain, seeing an opportunity, thrust his trident towards Ye Dingzhi's leg. Ye Dingzhi's lips curled into a slight smile. He dodged the trident attack with a swift movement, simultaneously sweeping his demonic sword towards the merman chieftain's lower body.
The merman chieftain tried to dodge but it was too late. His legs were struck by the demonic sword, causing him to lose his balance and stumble forward. Ye Dingzhi seized the opportunity to close in, pressing the demonic sword against the merman chieftain's throat.
“Tell your men to stop attacking, or you’re dead,” Ye Dingzhi said coldly.
The merman leader gritted his teeth and shouted at the other mermen (of Qiannuo's) "Stop!"
Upon hearing the order, the fishmen immediately ceased their attack on Xian.
