Chapter 631: The Yin Demonic Venerable 48

"I slept well. So, did you discover anything?" Tang Wan asked.

Bai Tong nodded.

Then, with a somewhat serious expression, he said, "I did. This crack in the ground... seems to have been forcibly shaken open by some kind of power beneath the earth. It should have happened sometime after we left Spirit Mountain. I still need to go deeper to investigate the details."

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately said, "I'll go with you."

Meanwhile, she asked Little Cutie inwardly, "Little Cutie, is this the breach where the Heavenly Demon Evil Clan invades?"

In the original plot, the extraterrestrial evil clans found a point of entry by locating a weak point in the space of the Qianye Continent. But the plot only said that this incident was related to Bai Tong; it never explained where the initial breach was.

Now that she thought about it, there was a good chance that it was this very crack Tongtong had discovered.

……

Hearing Tang Wan's question, Little Cutie quickly replied, "Yes, Host, this is the place. Bai Tong will communicate with the evil clans from outside here. In order to destroy the Qianye Continent, he chooses to help them break open this breach."

With that, it hurriedly added, "Host, this time you absolutely have to stop the villain from contacting the evil clans! Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to complete your additional mission!"

Tang Wan rolled her eyes at it. "Do you really need to tell me that?"

Of course she knew what choice she had to make now!

At this moment, Bai Tong hesitated for a moment. "I'd better go down alone. What if there's some unknown danger down there..."

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately smiled. "If there really is some danger, and something happens to you, then I won't be safe up here either, will I? Since that's the case, I'd rather stay by your side. That way, you'll know what's happening to me at all times, and you'll feel more at ease."

Bai Tong was immediately persuaded.

"All right. Then we'll go together," Bai Tong said.

Tang Wan felt relieved inwardly.

She wasn't afraid of something happening to Bai Tong. What she was afraid of was that he wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of the evil clans when the time came and would ultimately choose to cooperate with them after all.

But with her by his side, she could stop him the moment she sensed anything unusual.

……

Next, Bai Tong used an earth-escape technique, taking Tang Wan with him as they jumped into the crack and continuously descended deeper.

This was the first time Tang Wan had ever traveled through the pitch-black depths of the earth like a mouse, and she found the experience rather novel.

However, because she had already learned how to release her spiritual sense, she didn't feel completely blind as they made their way down.

It was just that the deeper they went, the smaller the range her spiritual sense could detect became.

For a moment, Tang Wan couldn't help feeling her heart rise into her throat.

And after an unknown amount of time, a series of deep, heavy breaths suddenly sounded beside Tang Wan's ears.

The breathing seemed to be right next to them. It made her scalp tingle, and goosebumps instantly covered her body. "Tongtong!" Tang Wan couldn't help tightening her grip on Bai Tong's hand.

Bai Tong immediately drew her into his arms and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid. There's something nearby."

"Mm. Have you figured out where it is?" Tang Wan asked.

"It's in the space directly opposite us. If I'm sensing it correctly, we should... already be near the spatial barrier of the Qianye Continent." Bai Tong narrowed his eyes.

After breaking through to the Spirit Emperor realm, logically speaking, he should have been able to shatter the void and leave the Qianye Continent.

However, the several spatial nodes capable of allowing him to shatter the void had all become extremely chaotic because of the incomplete laws of the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, he still hadn't let go of his hatred toward the people from the four great sects and didn't want to leave, so he had never tried to depart through those spatial nodes and head toward a higher-level plane.
