I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

Zou Mubai's fingers lightly placed on the seemingly ordinary wooden door. In an instant, an invisible and powerful resistance surged like a tide, as if there was another world hidden behind the door, stubbornly resisting the intrusion from the outside world.

His brows furrowed involuntarily, and a trace of solemnity and doubt flashed in his deep eyes.

Fei Xiuwen, who was standing nearby, keenly caught the subtle changes in Brother Zou's expression, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He quickly turned his gaze to the unusually heavy wooden door, his eyes revealing a bit of determination and curiosity.

He slowly raised his right hand, palm slightly open, ready to use his own strength to test the secret of the door.

The first time he tried, he just used his physical strength to push the door gently, but the door did not move at all, as if it had merged into the surrounding space.

Unwilling to give up, Fei Xiuwen took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body surged and gathered at his fingertips, and he pushed hard towards the door again.

However, this time, the contact made him feel an unprecedented pain, as if millions of fine needles pierced his fingertips at the same time. Blood gushed out instantly, forming a drop of bright red blood, which was particularly eye-catching on the shabby door panel.

Fei Xiuwen quickly withdrew his hand and lowered his head to check his injuries.

There was only a tiny but deep wound on the fingertip, and blood was slowly oozing out.

He looked up at the door and was surprised to find that the blood dripping from his fingertips was quickly absorbed without leaving a trace the moment it touched the door, as if the door had the power to devour everything.

"This... this is a forbidden technique!" Fei Xiuwen's voice trembled slightly with shock.

He looked around, trying to find more clues from the environment. "Someone has used a powerful forbidden technique to completely seal this place! We must be careful, there may be great danger hidden behind this."

Upon hearing this, Zou Mubai put away his previous frivolity and looked more serious.

The two men's eyes met, and without further words, there was a tacit understanding and determination flashing in each other's eyes.

As this tacit understanding surged, they acted almost at the same moment, gathering all the strength in their bodies in their palms and blasting towards the ancient and mysterious wooden door like two lightning bolts.

The intricate sealing runes on the wooden door trembled violently under the powerful impact, and finally shattered with a loud bang, dust rose up, and the sealing power dissipated into nothingness.

At the moment the seal was broken, a deafening sound of metal clashing suddenly erupted from deep in the yard.

The sound was sharp and piercing, like thousands of sharp blades colliding with each other in the air. It instantly penetrated the quiet air and echoed in the sky above the Wanjing Sect, startling countless flying birds and attracting the attention of the sect's disciples.

This sudden noise even alarmed the head sect leader Ying Guangyuan who was sitting quietly in the cafeteria.

He was originally paying close attention to He Ronger who was temporarily placed here, his brows furrowed and his heart full of worry.

However, the sudden loud noise made his face change suddenly, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Without any hesitation, he stood up suddenly and temporarily entrusted He Ronger's safety to the cook Lao Li beside him. Then he flashed out of the dining hall like a ghost, and in a few jumps he was rushing towards the side courtyard where the sound came from.

Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen had just stood firm, and before they had time to take a closer look at the scene in the courtyard, they felt a powerful aura coming from behind.

Then, a white figure passed by them like a flash of wind and stood in front of the two men. The man was wearing a white robe with fluttering sleeves and a stern face. He was the head of the Wanjing Sect, Ying Guangyuan.

"Stop! Who are you two? How dare you trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the Wanjing Sect?"

Ying Guangyuan's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to contain a thousand pounds of force. He looked directly at Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen, with both vigilance and confusion in his eyes.

He knew very well that the person who could break the seal and cause such a big commotion was definitely not an ordinary person.

Facing Ying Guangyuan's questioning, Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen looked at each other. In each other's eyes, there was both helplessness about the sudden situation and preparation for the conflict that might occur next.

They knew that it was not easy to explain clearly, but in order to protect the secrets and justice behind them, they could only respond with wit.

Fei Xiuwen smiled gently, took a few steps forward steadily, his face filled with a gentle but unignorable firmness.

"Master Ying, please allow us to explain. We had to disturb you because we found clues that there was someone very important to us hiding here. We have no ill intentions, we just hope to find the truth. We hope you can understand and allow us to continue our investigation."

Ying Guangyuan frowned, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination: "This is the forbidden area of ​​our Wanjing Sect, the rules are strict, and outsiders are not allowed to trample on it at will. I don't care what your reasons are, but if you force your way in today, you will be an enemy of our Wanjing Sect!"

There was unquestionable authority in his words, and his hands were slightly open, as if he was ready to display his sect's unique skills at any time.

Zou Mubai's expression became increasingly stern, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

He looked directly at Ying Guangyuan, his voice low and powerful, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Master Ying, today, we must meet that person. No matter who it is, it can't stop our determination. Please get out of the way, otherwise..."

As the words fell, a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy began to spread around Zou Mubai, which was a sign that the spiritual energy in his body was rapidly gathering.

A soft but dazzling light gradually lit up in his palm, which was a sign that he was about to release a powerful force. The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and a tense atmosphere filled the entire courtyard.

When Ying Guangyuan saw this, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

These two young talents made him feel unprecedented pressure.

He knew very well that if a fight really came to pass, even though he was the sect leader, he might not be able to win easily.

What's more, once he takes action, it will inevitably cause an uproar inside and outside the sect, which is something he, as the sect leader, does not want to see.

But when he thought of the monster in the yard, he felt embarrassed again.

After pondering for a long time, he finally said, "It's not that I don't want you to go in. The monsters in here are too powerful. I'm afraid they will bring disaster to the sect. That's why decades ago, we joined forces with the great elders in the sect and used the forbidden technique of the spirit world to seal it here."

"Monster?" Zou Mubai frowned.

"Yes, it was a mad four-legged demon beast. For some reason, it had been hiding in our Wanjing Sect for thirty years, and it had injured many of our disciples. In order to prevent it from causing harm to all living beings, we..."

Ying Guangyuan sighed, with a hint of helplessness and fear in his tone.
