583: Only female cultivators are allowed to enter!

Outside Ghost Cry Cliff.

After the initial shock, someone in the watching crowd finally could not hold back and began to cautiously try to approach the cliff entrance, which was surging with black mist.

"Strange... Why can I not get close?"

"That gale... is so powerful! My protective spiritual light was instantly shredded!"

"Eh? Junior Sister Zhang? You... how can you go in?"

"Ah! It is true! Only female Cultivators can enter!"

"This... this Restriction of Ghost Cry Cliff is actually targeted at male Cultivators?!"

Soon, everyone discovered this bizarre phenomenon.

Regardless of their cultivation level, all male Cultivators would immediately be attacked crazily by an invisible gale the moment they approached within ten zhang of the cliff entrance!

This gale contained a bizarre power that could tear apart Divine Soul, and if Divine Thought probed inside, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, instantly being stirred into pieces!

Even when Yao Delong tried to force his way in using Divine Thought containing the power of the Great Sun Sacred Body, he only managed to penetrate less than a hundred zhang before being completely obliterated by that ubiquitous, seemingly endless gale!

"It is indeed the same as the news I heard in Jinling City..." Yao Delong stood a hundred zhang outside the cliff entrance, his brows locked tightly.

Was the Opportunity in the depths of Myriad Flower Spring Outing Valley actually prepared specifically for female Cultivators?

This Ghost Cry Cliff was a gateway of selection!

Qiong Shuang and Luo Yan being forced into this place—was it a blessing or a curse?

Since he could not force his way in, Yao Delong simply retracted the aura around his body.

He waved his sleeve robe and sat down cross-legged in the air on a protruding giant rock not far from the cliff entrance.

The Yin and Yang Dao patterns on his profound star manifestation dao robe flowed slowly, as if merging with the rock beneath him and the surrounding space.

He seemed to have transformed into a silent boundary marker, his gaze cast calmly toward the abyss of churning black mist, as if he could penetrate the endless gale and see the situation at the bottom of the cliff.

He would wait here! Wait for Qiong Shuang and Luo Yan to come out! Or... wait for something to happen inside!

Seeing that this fiend god was no longer acting and was just sitting quietly on guard, those male Cultivators who originally wanted to watch the fun or try their luck completely lost interest.

Even Yao Delong could not enter, so they had even less of a chance.

The crowd began to disperse in twos and threes, carrying the shocking news they had witnessed today, and quickly disappeared into the depths of Myriad Flower Spring Outing Valley.

However, the news that Yao Delong had thunderously slaughtered over a dozen Disciples of the Nine Nether Sect in front of Ghost Cry Cliff, sealed the cultivation of Elder Bai Chi, and forced him to kneel in humiliation before the cliff, spread like a winged plague. At an astonishing speed, via countless communication jade talismans and Flying Sword transmissions, it spread frantically throughout the entire Myriad Flower Spring Outing Valley region and rapidly extended toward the vast Eastern Region!

"Big event! The Nine Nether Sect kicked an iron plate at Ghost Cry Cliff!"

"Holy crap! It is that fiend god of the Yin Yang Sect, Yao Delong! He has returned! And he is even stronger!"

"I heard he instantly killed over a dozen Nine Nether Sect elites, and even a Nascent Soul Elder did not last a single palm strike!"

"Elder Bai Chi? His cultivation was crippled, and he is kneeling in front of Ghost Cry Cliff as a living sacrifice! It is so miserable!"

"Yao Delong... was standing up for his ninth-rank Yao Beast partner and a Golden Core female companion!"

"Hiss... so fierce! So satisfying! The Nine Nether Sect has lost all face this time!"

"Just wait, the Nine Nether Sect will never let this go! There must be some old monster at the Void Refining Stage coming out!"

"The gods are fighting! Hurry and get far away!"

fiend god Yao Delong!

This name, accompanied by the bloody battle record at Ghost Cry Cliff, was like a giant boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up monstrous waves in the Eastern Region cultivation world once again!

Countless Cultivators were shocked, discussing, fearful, or excited by it!

The intelligence agencies of all major Sects were running frantically, all casting their gazes toward Myriad Flower Spring Outing Valley!

Meanwhile, at the bottom of Ghost Cry Cliff, in the depths where black mist permeated.

Inside a relatively dry hollow, Luo Yan, wearing a water-blue dao robe with a gentle temperament like water, was currently lying unconscious in front of a huge stone tablet covered in ancient moss. Her eyes were closed, her face was as pale as paper, and her breath was weak.

Between her brows, an extremely tiny, faintly glowing rune mark flickered in and out of existence.

Qiong Shuang, dressed in white and coldly stunning, was currently guarding her side anxiously.

She tried various methods to input pure Demonic Power, and even cut her wrist to drip blood of the Dragon, which contained vitality, but she could not wake Luo Yan.

Qiong Shuang's eyes were filled with worry and self-blame.

After they entered the bottom of the cliff, although they avoided the pursuit of the Nine Nether Sect, they discovered that this place beneath Ghost Cry Cliff was not a dead end, but rather like a forgotten ancient ruin.

During their exploration, they inadvertently discovered this stone tablet that was several zhang high and exuded an ancient, desolate aura.

Luo Yan just curiously touched the surface of the tablet with her hand, and the stone tablet suddenly erupted with intense ghostly light, and then Luo Yan collapsed softly and had been unconscious ever since.

Qiong Shuang had tried to carefully examine the stone tablet, but it was engraved with strange patterns and symbols she could not understand at all, exuding an ancient and profound pressure that seemed to originate from the depths of her Bloodline.

She stared at it for a long time, and apart from feeling some palpitations in her mind, she had no other discomfort, let alone falling unconscious.

"This... this seems to be some kind of Legacy trial? Only Sister Yan can trigger it?"

Qiong Shuang looked at the unconscious Luo Yan, then looked at the bizarre stone tablet, her heart filled with unease.

"Outside... I wonder how it is outside? Big Brother Delong... he will definitely come! I must guard this place!"

Qiong Shuang gritted her silver teeth, her Demonic Power slowly circulating, and wisps of Qiong Shuang aura permeated, setting up layers of ice crystal defenses around Luo Yan.

She guarded the side vigilantly, like the most loyal guard.

To save strength, her figure gradually blurred, and finally transformed into a petite White Flood Dragon, snow-white all over, with scales like jade, emitting a faint cold aura. She coiled around the huge stone tablet, her Dragon head raised high, her cold vertical pupils vigilantly scanning the churning black mist around her.

Meanwhile, outside Ghost Cry Cliff, Yao Delong, who was sitting cross-legged on the giant rock, felt something in his heart. His gaze seemed to penetrate layers of black mist and gale, landing in the direction of that stone tablet.

He could sense Qiong Shuang's aura, which was weak but stable, but he could not capture Luo Yan's aura at all, as if it were blocked by something.

Time flowed slowly in silence and waiting. An invisible storm was already gathering in the sky of the Eastern Region.

The Nine Nether Sect Void Refining powerhouse Old Black Mu was approaching rapidly, bringing with him monstrous Evil Qi!

In front of Ghost Cry Cliff, the dead silence remained. Only the barely audible painful wheezing of Bai Chi and the whimpering wind from the bottom of the cliff were intertwined.

Yao Delong sat cross-legged on the giant rock like a statue that had existed since ancient times; the Yin and Yang Dao patterns on his profound star manifestation dao robe flowed slowly, faintly resonating with the surrounding space.

A day's time passed quietly in his calm guardianship.

Myriad Flower Spring Outing Valley, outer entrance.

Several streaks of black light that tore through the air fell like meteors, slamming fiercely onto the open ground outside the valley entrance!

Violent Evil Qi swept out like a tangible hurricane, instantly shredding the gorgeous flowers and plants around into powder, and the ground cracked and sank!

The black light receded, revealing over a dozen figures.

The leader was a zhang tall, his skin dark as if cast from refined iron, his muscles knotted and bulging, stretching his ferocious black armor until it seemed about to burst!

His crimson eyes were like burning lava, his mouth wide with fangs, and his nostrils were exhaling scorching white Qi; he was none other than the fierce general of the Nine Nether Sect's Law Enforcement Hall—the Void Refining Early Stage powerhouse, Old Black Mu!
