Chapter 505: Chapter 505: Entering the Forbidden Area_1

Dugu Qianye looked at the note and pondered for a while, saying, "Little Linzi said that when Sha Hongfei left the Patrol Team, he told him to patrol faithfully and not to be curious about anything, and to leave this place if he had the chance. It seems he must have entered the forbidden area and discovered something, which forced him to leave."

"Is the Gold Spiritual Bead in the Refiners Sect?" Yan Yi asked.

Dugu Qianye thought for a moment and said, "I’ve searched the entire Sect in the past few months. The Fire Spirit Pearl did not sense the presence of the Gold Spiritual Bead. If the Gold Spiritual Bead were here in the Sect, they would not be unaware of it. Perhaps the Sect lost the Gold Spiritual Bead long ago, and Sha Hongfei’s departure just provided a convenient excuse."

"So we’re back to having no leads?"

Dugu Qianye also felt somewhat disheartened. If they really had lost the Gold Spiritual Bead a long time ago, they would have no clues to follow in their search for it now.

Just then, the normally tranquil Spiritual Pearls suddenly became restless. Dugu Qianye took out the Fire Spirit Pearl and asked, "What’s wrong?"

The Fire Spirit Pearl took on a human form and said, "I can feel Little Gold’s presence!"

Dugu Qianye, excitedly asked, "Really?"

The Fire Spirit Pearl nodded and said, "It’s inside the forbidden area. There was a barrier previously enclosing it, which is why we couldn’t sense its presence. Now that the barrier has dissipated, its presence is emanating. However, I feel its presence weakening; it must be in danger right now."

A barrier had always separated the inside of the forbidden area from the outside, preventing the Gold Spiritual Bead’s aura from escaping. Yong Xing had entered the forbidden area to break the barrier, which was why the Fire Spirit Pearl was able to locate it now. Dugu Qianye had been so close to the Gold Spiritual Bead over these past months!

Using Dudu to survey the surroundings, Dugu Qianye saw the tall enclosing wall and suddenly declared, "I am going to enter the forbidden area!"

"Mistress must not! Yong Xing is currently inside, and if he discovers you, the consequences would be unimaginable. If we are to go, let me go instead," was Yan Yi’s immediate reaction as he tried to dissuade her. Now that they genuinely recognized her as their mistress, her safety was their concern. He could not just watch Dugu Qianye walk into such a perilous situation.

Dugu Qianye shook her head and said, "It would be equally dangerous for you to go. Yong Xing is presently confronting Xiao, and he will not hold back if he has the chance to eliminate Xiao’s forces. Moreover, I have the Fire Spirit Pearl; with it, I can go straight to find the Bead in such a large forbidden area. Yong Xing wouldn’t have come alone; his army might very well be outside, so you shouldn’t return to the Patrol Team right now either. Now that the Gold Spiritual Bead has been located, signal the others to head back to Xiao and wait for orders. I won’t need them here. Stay here for a while, and once I’m out, you can go back."

Yan Yi, recognizing the sense in Dugu Qianye’s words, reluctantly nodded his agreement in the end.

Dugu Qianye looked at the wall outside and felt some tension in her heart. She wondered if this time, she and Yong Xing would come face to face...

Having made her decision, Dugu Qianye began to take action. She called upon Jiang Yu and, seeing the calamitous beauty with silver hair and red attire, she could not help but be momentarily distracted.

Dugu Qianye felt that she had interacted with him too little and remembered how he once mentioned that he had spent half of his life asleep. He was now sleeping quietly every day inside his Skeleton Earring, almost imperceptible in his presence.

"Did you need something?" Jiang Yu asked, looking at Dugu Qianye.

"Just like in the Phantom Sea Domain, create another one of me," said Dugu Qianye.

Jiang Yu didn’t ask why and directly set to work, quickly creating an identical Dugu Qianye before their eyes.

Dugu Qianye, looking at the even more lifelike duplicate than last time, expressed her gratitude to Jiang Yu, "Thank you, Jiang Yu."

Jiang Yu nodded, accepting her thanks.

Yan Yi looked at the two identical Dugu Qianyes and couldn’t help but sigh at the uncanny resemblance, even their auras were the same. However, he didn’t know what Dugu Qianye needed this duplicate for.

Seeing Yan Yi’s puzzled look, Dugu Qianye explained, "If I enter the forbidden area, I must have someone to take my place. Otherwise, Jian Fengxing and the others will quickly realize that I’m gone. Plus, I have to inform Jian Yuezhi about this, and have her take over my duties."

Yan Yi nodded in understanding, realizing that such considerations were indeed more thorough. If Dugu Qianye were to simply disappear like that, Jian Fengxing and his people would quickly notice something amiss, which could only bring more trouble to Dugu Qianye’s plans.

Dugu Qianye, together with her substitute, Yan Yi, and Jiang Yu, left the Refining Demon Pot. After Yan Yi made contact with the others, he too was taken back inside. Then she turned to Jiang Yu and said, "This time I might run into Yong Xing directly, so try your best to help me conceal my tracks."

"All right," Jiang Yu replied.

Dugu Qianye instructed her doppelgänger on what needed to be done, then stored Jiang Yu inside the Skeleton Earring. Once she had made herself invisible, she took a deep breath, looking at the high walls, and leapt over them. A second after she flew in, the barrier reappeared.

"Crack." Dugu Qianye landed on a dried twig by accident, the noise startling her. Fortunately, there was no one around; otherwise, she would have been discovered as soon as she entered, which would have been a huge problem.

Once she steadied herself, she looked around and saw nothing but forests, an ideal place to hide. She had planned to hide in the trees for a while and wait for Yong Xing to leave before coming out. However, the Fire Spirit Pearl suddenly told her that the aura of the Gold Spiritual Bead was weakening rapidly; any later and there might be a problem.

Dugu Qianye looked helplessly at the sky, gritted her teeth, and said, "Well then, I’ll have to risk it!" After speaking, she tore the hem of her skirt and tied up the sleeves. Once she was sure she wouldn’t be encumbered, she walked towards the mountain front.

Meanwhile, directly ahead, Jian Fengxing, Yong Xing, and Gong Shi entered the doors of the forbidden area. The spiritual power on the door dissipated, and the doors slowly closed, the outer barrier slowly forming again.

"Heavenly Venerable, please," Jian Fengxing said, bowing respectfully to Yong Xing.

Yong Xing looked at the steamy cave entrance ahead and strode forward, with Gong Shi and Jian Fengxing following behind. When they reached the entrance, they simultaneously summoned their Spiritual Power to envelop themselves, and then they entered the cave. As they did so, ripples flared at the mouth of the cave.

After entering the cave, they walked straight forward for dozens of meters until they reached a deep, bottomless staircase. They slowly descended the staircase. The deeper they went, the hotter it became, and looking down, they could see a fiery red expanse.

After an unknowable depth, the staircase ended, and the road ahead became flat. Red light emanated from the cave entrance ahead, along with scorching heat.

As soon as they reached this area, they found guards stationed around, red walls on all sides and black-clad guards spaced ten steps apart. Continuing on, they could hear "hei yo hei yo" chants accompanied by the "clang clang clang" of hammering and smashing sounds.
