Yang Che donned a gray long robe, revealing only his eyes, while maintaining the Zero Illusion Art.

Looking around, Yang Che knew that by crossing the distant undulating, majestic mountains, he would be able to enter Dark Abyss City.

Only by entering Dark Abyss City could he more quickly inquire about the Grandmaster Talisman Maker.

Thinking of this, Yang Che pondered for a moment and decided to fly over on his Dunjxing Shuo.

More than two hours later, Yang Che had already flown above the mountains.

Upon reaching the skies above the mountain range, he was startled, as the area covered by the mountain range was simply too vast.

This was definitely the most expansive and enormous mountain range he had ever seen.

Although it was dim and gloomy everywhere, Yang Che felt incredibly comfortable, as if everything around him became clearer and clearer in his eyes.

Due to the vast coverage of the mountain range, even flying on the Dunjxing Shuo, after another hour, Yang Che still could not see the other end of the mountain range.

He had already estimated that this mountain range was unusually large, but now he realized that its vastness far exceeded his imagination.

He flew for another half an hour.

At this moment, Yang Che suddenly sensed that the Nine Heart Thunder Flame, which had been refining Flying Stealth in his Dantian, suddenly became extremely excited.

Yang Che's heart stirred, and he immediately asked, "Lei Yan, have you discovered something?"

The Nine Heart Thunder Flame surged out from Yang Che's body, all its flames excitedly surging.

And this level of excitement from the Nine Heart Thunder Flame was something Yang Che had never witnessed before.

After a brief thought, Yang Che immediately said in a deep voice, "Good, Lei Yan, you lead the way."

The Nine Heart Thunder Flame immediately dragged Yang Che's body, made a turn above the mountain range, flew for another half an hour, and then plummeted towards the bottom of the mountain range.

Ancient trees soared into the sky in the mountains, and it seemed no living beings had set foot there for a long time. The thick decaying mud on the ground, combined with various unknown poisonous substances in the forest, mixed together to form a miasma.

Yang Che only took a small breath and immediately felt a little dizzy.

So he quickly took out a Qingxin Pill and swallowed it, only then did his senses become clear again.

After winding through the mountain forest and continuing to trek for a long distance, Yang Che was led by the Nine Heart Thunder Flame to a massive, incredibly eerie Stone Cave.

The entrance to the Stone Cave was about dozens of feet high, and the mottled, weathered stone patterns on it indicated that it had existed for an extremely long time.

"Lei Yan, are you sure that thing you sensed is inside?"

Yang Che asked with extreme caution.

The Nine Heart Thunder Flame immediately surged its flames excitedly and transformed into the shape of an arm, pointing inside the Stone Cave.

Yang Che thought for a moment, took out dozens of full pattern star stones as the foundation, and set up a concealed 'Reversed Four Symbols Formation' at the entrance of this Stone Cave.

Only then did he step into the Stone Cave.

The solid stone ground beneath his feet seemed to be sloping downwards. After walking for a while, Yang Che suddenly felt all the hairs on his body stand on end.

A sudden, extremely dangerous feeling instantly surged into his heart.

Yang Che did not dare to be careless. He confirmed that the Stealth Technique was continuously applied to him, then he prepared Flying Stealth and Sword Four, ready to strike at the fastest possible time.

Next, he directly took out the green gourd containing the Sky Thunder Pearl and hung it at his waist.

Finally, he took out two Talismans and held them tightly in his left and right palms respectively.

He concentrated his Qi, and carefully moved deeper into the Stone Cave.

Hundreds of feet later, a faint light suddenly appeared ahead.

Upon walking closer, it suddenly opened up, and an incredibly large circular stone hall appeared before his eyes.

There were many pillars around the stone hall, and at the top of every other pillar, there was a 'Moon Stone' emitting a brilliant white light, illuminating the stone hall quite brightly.

Further inside the stone hall, there was a single gateway.

An intensely scorching aura faintly emanated from within.

Yang Che's mind stirred, and the Nine Heart Thunder Flame immediately transformed into a Flame Giant, appearing in the stone hall.

Its face was full of excitement and eagerness, and it directly walked towards the 'gateway'.

However, Yang Che never forgot the extremely dangerous feeling that had previously surged into his heart.

So he immediately followed closely behind Lei Yan, walked to the 'gateway', and did not enter rashly. Instead, he followed the same method, taking out dozens of full pattern star stones as the Formation base, and set up a 'Seven Luminaries Seven Kill Formation' in front of this gateway.

After that, he walked through this 'gateway'.

A scorching aura with a sense of familiarity immediately assailed him.

Yang Che immediately recalled the intense heat from when Wu Qingxuan captured the Nine Heart Thunder Flame at the bottom of the Taiyan Pagoda in Taiyan Temple.

"Could it be…"

A flash of light instantly crossed Yang Che's mind, as if he had thought of something, and then he showed surprise and disbelief.

Indeed, a scorching Fire Pool appeared before his eyes.

Within it, there was actually a cluster of dark green flames, which immediately became jubilant upon seeing the Nine Heart Thunder Flame.

These dark green flames were noticeably smaller than the Nine Heart Thunder Flame was when it was in the Taiyan Pagoda.

Yang Che also understood in an instant that this was one of the Nine Heart Thunder Flame's 'hearts'!

At this moment, the Nine Heart Thunder Flame was even more excited, and the Flame Giant it had transformed into was about to step forward to absorb these dark green flames into its body.

However, at this very moment, an unexpected change occurred.

A gust of 'demonic wind' suddenly blew into the Fire Pool from an unknown place, and it directly 'abducted' the dark green flames.

At the same time, a burst of wild laughter resounded unbridled:

"Hahahahaha, I never thought, I never thought that after waiting so many years, this Young Lord would finally encounter the 'Main Heart' of the Nine Heart Thunder Flame. This is truly wonderful. It seems this Young Lord is indeed a favored child of the heavens."

Accompanying this unrestrained and arrogant laughter, a flash of light flickered by the Fire Pool, and then the figure of a handsome youth appeared.

This youth wore a large crimson robe, with distinct facial features, and was exceptionally handsome. Even Yang Che couldn't help but feel a strange sense of envy upon seeing him.

However, Yang Che quickly shifted his gaze from the youth's face and noticed the youth's aura.

He was surprisingly at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage!

No sooner said than done, after the handsome Crimson Robed Youth finished laughing, his figure flickered, and he instantly teleported next to the Nine Heart Thunder Flame, grabbing towards Lei Yan.

Fortunately, Yang Che was already on guard. The moment the Nascent Soul youth's figure flickered, he had forcibly retrieved the Nine Heart Thunder Flame into his body, narrowly dodging the youth's 'grab'.

Seeing that the Nine Heart Thunder Flame had been retrieved by Yang Che, the handsome Crimson Robed Youth's expression changed several times between gloomy and bright, then he smiled and said:

"Junior, obediently hand over the Nine Heart Thunder Flame, and this Young Lord may consider taking you as a disciple, allowing you to Wind Summon Rain Call in Dark Abyss."

Yang Che's expression was incredibly solemn, and he was already retreating frantically, trying to escape through the gateway.

"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you. You want to escape from this Young Lord's hands? You're probably thinking too much."

As the Crimson Robed Youth let out a cold snort, a green banner appeared in his hand.

The youth waved the banner, and a gust of strong wind immediately roared out, directly transforming into a 'tornado' that attacked Yang Che.

Yang Che was startled, knowing he couldn't confront it directly, and immediately activated the Flash Cloud Boots' teleportation, directly arriving in the spacious stone hall.

"Oh? He has a teleportation Magic Treasure?"

The youth exclaimed in surprise, then immediately wanted to pursue, but suddenly saw seven white lights, like flowing water, light up at the 'gateway', instantly forming a killing Formation that sealed the gateway.

"Interesting."

The Crimson Robed Youth seemed to not care about this Formation at all. After a cold smile, he took out an 'Array Talisman'.
