Upon hearing Wu Xian's words, Wang Ying and the others grew even more tense.
Their minds were filled with the venomous gazes of Wang Jie and the other two.
If they were to leave, they would likely face a massacre from Wang Jie and his trio.
"Are you scared? Hahaha..."
Seeing the pale faces of Wang Ying and the others, Wu Xian and his companions laughed even more heartily.
With a snap, Yang Tian drew out the Holy Sword, brimming with murderous intent, and coldly walked toward Wu Xian and his companions.
"What are you going to do?"
Startled by Yang Tian's expression, Wu Xian involuntarily stepped back but then recalled that it was the Abyss in the Dark Land. The continent guardians had said that killing was forbidden here, so Wu Xian shouted at Yang Tian, "Yang Tian, do you intend to kill us? But let me tell you, if you do that, you'll break the rules of this continent, and the continent guardians certainly won't let you go!"
"Continent guardians?"
A hint of icy laughter flickered in Yang Tian's eyes.
"Are you not afraid of the continent guardians?" Wu Xian saw no fear in Yang Tian's face and insisted, "If you dare kill us, our elders will surely tear you limb from limb!"
At the mention of elders, Yang Tian's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Swoosh!
With a whoosh, Yang Tian dashed forward, swinging the Holy Sword fiercely.
A shower of blood splattered out.
The Holy Sword swung down, directly severing the heads of Wu Xian and his two companions, dropping them to the ground.
"I and Wang Jie's trio share only hatred. Even if they don't come for me, I'll go after them!"
Yang Tian sheathed the Holy Sword, waving his hand and casting a Corpse Transformation Talisman that turned Wang Jie's trio's bodies into a puddle of blood, scattered in the wind.
"Brother, we need to leave here, or the continent guardians will come questioning."
Wang Yue urged quickly.
"Hmm."
Yang Tian stowed away the three Magical Treasures found by Wu Xian's trio and led the group into the forest.
Along the way, everyone wore a very grave expression.
Just thinking about the venomous gazes of Wang Jie's trio sent involuntary shivers down their spines.
Upon leaving, they would certainly face attacks from Wang Jie's trio.
Now, the most important thing was to find Immortal Level Magical Treasures; only then could they defend themselves.
"Brother Yang, destroying one of Wang Jie's trio's souls this time, they'll definitely seek vengeance. We must quickly find Immortal Level Magical Treasures!"
Young Lady Yaoyao said to Yang Tian.
"Hmm."
Yang Tian tightly clenched his fist.
To kill Wang Jie's trio, only finding Immortal Level Magical Treasures would suffice.
"Yet, in the 2nd Layer Continent, there should be no Immortal Level Magical Treasures. I'm considering whether I can use the coffin's woman to directly enter the highest continent to seek above Immortal Level Magical Treasures!"
Young Lady Yaoyao added.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yue's eyes lit up, and the little fellow was no longer afraid. She said to Young Lady Yaoyao, "Sister, you must find a way. If we can enter the highest continent, we will definitely find Immortal Level Magical Treasures!"
"Yes, only in the highest continent would there be the highest-grade treasures!"
Yang Tian nodded in agreement.
"Let's do that—find a place and bring out the coffin. I'll see if there's a way to enter the highest continent!"
Young Lady Yaoyao said.
Yang Tian used Divine Sense to probe the surroundings.
Soon, he discovered a safe cave: "Follow me."
He led the group into this secure cave, opened the Weed Ring, and brought out the ice crystal coffin.
This ice crystal coffin allowed everyone to move from the first layer continent to the 2nd Layer Continent; naturally, it should also enable them to traverse to a higher-level continent to find more superior treasures.
Inside the ice crystal coffin lay the woman, still calm and serene, though for some reason, gazing at this unparalleled beauty lying within, everyone felt an indescribable emotion.
Young Lady Yaoyao, upon seeing the woman inside the ice crystal coffin, had her gaze turn sorrowful again.
She leaned beside the coffin, reached out to touch the coffin lid, and gazed quietly without speaking.
"Let's go out to search for treasures. In the 2nd Layer Continent, there's Human Dao treasures, finding one can arm us!"
Yang Tian led the others out to hunt for treasures, not disturbing Young Lady Yaoyao.
As Yang Tian just reached the cave entrance, he suddenly heard crying emanating from inside the cave.
The crying sound was made by Young Lady Yaoyao.
"Yaoyao!"
Yang Tian swiftly returned to see Young Lady Yaoyao leaning next to the ice crystal coffin, tears streaming down her face.
"Brother Yang, I feel her sorrow..."
Young Lady Yaoyao cried.
"Sorrow?"
A hint of doubt flickered in Yang Tian's eyes.
"Yes." Young Lady Yaoyao nodded, saying, "I feel that when she died, she was filled with resentment. She must have been murdered..."
"She's dead?"
Yang Tian was startled.
He couldn't but look into the ice crystal coffin.
He saw the unparalleled beauty lying peacefully inside; though without any signs of life, her jet-black hair, rosy skin, slender legs, all told him this beauty was merely sleeping, not dead.
But hearing Young Lady Yaoyao say the unparalleled beauty was dead, Yang Tian was somewhat shocked.
Not only him, Wang Ying and others who returned from behind were also amazed when they heard Young Lady Yaoyao's words: "This unparalleled beauty is already dead?"
"Yes, she's dead..."
Young Lady Yaoyao's face looked very pale and sorrowful.
"Sister, did you remember something?"
Wang Yue quickly asked.
"Just now, in my mind, her death scene suddenly appeared, filled with resentment, she was murdered..."
Young Lady Yaoyao said, then leaned on Yang Tian's chest and cried out.
At this moment, she felt very helpless.
Though she didn't know the connection between this woman inside the coffin and herself, from the first moment she saw the woman within the ice crystal coffin, she felt a sense of closeness, knowing the resentment before the woman's death, Young Lady Yaoyao shared her feelings.
"Yaoyao, it's okay..."
Yang Tian kept comforting Young Lady Yaoyao.
"If she was murdered, she probably died with unfulfilled wishes!"
Wang Ying commented.
Yang Tian glanced at the woman inside the ice crystal coffin; he just couldn't connect her serene appearance with Young Lady Yaoyao's words—a calm and exceptionally beautiful woman—could she truly be deceased? And filled with resentment before her death?
"This sister is rather pitiful..."
At this moment, Wang Yue leaned on the coffin lid, staring with her big black eyes at the woman inside.
But suddenly her expression changed drastically; she screamed desperately, "Brother..."
"What's wrong?"
Yang Tian was startled by Wang Yue's shriek; he had never heard the little one scream so desperately. Turning to look, upon seeing the situation inside the coffin, he was severely shocked, all of him went rigid, and he gasped in shock.
"Xiaoyueyue, what are you yelling at!"
Wang Ying scolded and turned to look inside the coffin, only to instantly let out her own surprised shout.
Not just her; even Ling Ying, a seasoned killer, had her expression change upon seeing the situation inside the coffin: "This..."
