The swamp in front of them was called the Mysterious Underworld Swamp. It was the ancestral land of the Mysterious Underworld Race, and they had lived here for generations.
From the outside, the lake was completely pitch-black. There were no ripples, and the vast lake seemed to have solidified as if it was a solid object.
Upon closer inspection, one could even see wisps of cold air rising from the surface of the lake. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the air was scorching hot far away from the swamp. However, one could only feel an intense chill near the swamp.
Based on its color alone, it was somewhat similar to the Yin Yang Ocean at the foot of Jade Capital Mountain. However, it was different from the Yin Yang Ocean, which was extremely cold and dark. This swamp did not have the power of darkness or pure Yin. It was purely cold, extremely cold.
A gust of wind blew past, and the surface of the water was calm. The entire lake was like a huge black ice crystal.
There was an ancient aura emanating from it, as if it was the ice age when everything in the world had been frozen, or when all things had walked towards cold extinction.
This appearance was somewhat similar to the Divine Land of the Yu Clan that had been flattened by Xuanmen Tianzong. However, the power within it was even more profound and powerful.
Compared to the Yu Clan, the Mysterious Underworld Beasts had been able to control the Mysterious Underworld True Water for a longer period of time. They were also more adept at it. This was the innate ability of their race.
In addition to being able to control the Mysterious Underworld True Water, the Mysterious Underworld Beasts also possessed the bloodline of the Black Tortoise Race. Although the bloodline connection wasn't strong and their appearances were very different, the physical strength and defensive capabilities of the Mysterious Underworld Race were still rather impressive.
As far as Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, and the others knew, the current leader of the Mysterious Underworld Race, the Mysterious Underworld Great Sage, was a great demon at the Primordial True Spirit Realm. He had once been one of the 10 Saints of the Demon Race and was an influential figure in Tianhuang Mainland.
However, as the situation had changed in recent years, many reclusive great demons had begun to move about frequently, and the Mysterious Underworld Great Sage had started to keep a low profile.
This wise move allowed the Mysterious Underworld Swamp to maintain its peace.
Shi Tianhao looked at the Mysterious Underworld Swamp in front of him and pursed his lips. "Barge in directly? We don't have much time. We still have to find the opportunity that Master mentioned. "
Li Yuanfang frowned slightly. "Just get someone to send a message and ask them to come out and explain things clearly. We don't have any enmity with the Mysterious Underworld Race, and this race rarely enters the Divine Land."
"Even Tuntun himself only has a private matter with the Profound Nether Beast."
Shi Tianhao stared at the Xuanming Swamp and said, "Sixth Senior Brother, you haven't been to Infinite Mainland many times, so you don't know that the outcome is the same whether we pay a visit openly or charge in openly or sneak in secretly."
"For the Demon Race, the fact that we humans have arrived at their doorstep means that a war is inevitable. If you have anything to say, wait until after the battle. Whoever has the bigger fist will have the louder voice in the following conversation."
Li Yuanfang thought of the battle between Lin Feng and Great Sage Zhu Yan when he first arrived at Xiaoqi Mountain and the fierce battle after they arrived at Nine Nether Peak. Monkey had come to ask for people, and they would talk after a fight. He immediately nodded in understanding. Although he did not agree with the Demon Race's style, he did not say anything else.
If he had not witnessed the earth-shattering battle between Lin Feng and monkey, the first thing the Great Sage would have done after returning was to size up Lin Feng's strength and methods before deciding on his subsequent attitude.
It was actually not a big deal if a fight really broke out. Although the Mysterious Underworld Great Sage had his own ancestral land, he was not the Great Sage, and the Xuanming Swamp was not the Deep Spirit Mountain. Any one of Wang Lin or Shi Tianhao was confident enough to fight them one-on-one. If the two of them joined forces, the Xuanming Swamp would definitely be destroyed.
However, Tuntun had never avoided the entanglement with the Black Water Mysterious Underworld Being. Hence, Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, and the others knew about it. They also knew that Tuntun's great ambition in life was to overthrow a promising young man of the Mysterious Underworld Race.
It was really a pain in the ass to make such a big fuss over such a matter. Even the lawless Shi Tianhao, who did not mind stirring up trouble or watching others stir up trouble, was somewhat uninterested.
No one knew who was in the wrong in the matter between Tuntun and the Black Water Mysterious Underworld Being back then.
"I won't inform or attack." Tuntun's immature face had a rare look of seriousness.
Shi Tianhao glanced at her in surprise. "Oh, it's rare for you to be so well-behaved this time."
Tuntun rolled its eyes at him. "That's because you don't know. The Black Water Mysterious Underworld Being likes to run around. He often doesn't stay in the Xuanming Swamp's ancestral land. Instead, he likes to open up cave abodes and live alone."
She had come to the Infinite Wasteland Vast Land with Shi Tianhao before and had already heard some news. The Black Water Mysterious Underworld Being had been seriously injured in a great battle with her. Over the past few years, his physical body had been reconstructed and he had gradually recovered.
"If he isn't in the ancestral land now, it will be difficult to find him if we cause a ruckus here and he gets wind of it."
Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, and the others were speechless when they heard this. They had thought that Tuntun had finally grown up. Who would have thought that she was still so unreliable?
Tuntun's eyes lit up. "Guard the entrance for a while and intercept a Mysterious Underworld Beast that comes out or goes in. Then, we'll ask them for the exact whereabouts of the Black Water Mysterious Underworld Being before deciding what to do next."
The corners of Shi Tianhao's mouth twitched as he pursed his lips. "Why aren't you usually so shrewd? You only care about this and eating."
The avatars that Lin Feng had entrusted to Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu shared their consciousness with Lin Feng and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Although he had let Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, and the others go on their own, how could he not make any preparations and let his disciples roam the dangerous depths of the Infinite Wasteland Vast Land?
Lin Feng was not worried about Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao, but he still had to take care of the others. However, this was limited to protecting their lives. Even if Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu, and the others were in a perilous situation, Lin Feng would not care.
It is only in that kind of hopeless situation where there is no chance of survival that Lin Feng will make a move to save them. But he will only change the situation from one where there is no chance of survival to one where there is no chance of survival. The real chance of survival still depends on them to struggle and grasp it themselves.
Letting his disciples gain experience did not mean that he was sending them to their deaths, but they had to look like they were training. A fledgling that was always under the protection of its elders would never be able to spread its wings and soar.
Tuntun's large eyes lit up as it stared at the Great Mysterious Underworld Swamp. Yang Qing Silently said, "It will be too much of a waste of time if we keep waiting here. No one knows when Mysterious Underworld Beasts will come and go."
Tuntun turned its head and glanced at Yang Qing. Its throat rolled for a moment, but it did not say anything. It had a feeling that Yang Qing was very different from before after returning from the mountain.
Shi Tianhao smiled and said, "Since you're going to scratch your tongue, you can just wait here. You definitely won't be stupid enough to capture those Mysterious Underworld Beasts that are clearly stronger than you, nor will you provoke the Great Mysterious Underworld Saint.
"Since you've found out the whereabouts of the Black Water Mysterious Underworld Saint, your current strength should not be inferior to his. You can settle your personal grudge between the two of you."
Tuntun was about to say something when its expression suddenly changed. It turned its head to look into the distance and saw a ball of light flying towards the Great Mysterious Underworld Swamp.
Upon closer inspection, it was a humanoid figure with a bird's body. An azure snake hung from each of its ears, and it stood on two strange beasts that looked like azure snakes. It was a pure-blooded Mysterious Underworld Beast.
Based on its demonic power undulations, it was a Mysterious Underworld Demon Commander that had formed a Demonic Core.
Tuntun's face immediately bloomed with joy. "Haha, I really get what I want!"
It immediately moved forward to capture the Mysterious Underworld Beast before it could approach the Great Mysterious Underworld Swamp.
This place was very close to the Great Mysterious Underworld Swamp after all, and the Mysterious Underworld Ancestral Land immediately sensed something.
Wang Lin was not interested in interfering in such matters, while Shi Tianhao waved his hand in boredom and helped Tuntun isolate the Mysterious Underworld Race's ancestral land from the pure-blooded Mysterious Underworld Beast's senses. Through concealment, the Great Mysterious Underworld Swamp would not be able to detect any activity in this area for the time being.
Tuntun's interrogation was very effective. "That's why I knew that Black Water was probably not in the ancestral land. Sure enough, we almost came empty-handed."
She smiled proudly and said, "Our luck is too good. That guy even knows Black Water's exact whereabouts. It's a good omen to open today."
At the sight of Tuntun's appearance, everyone from Lin Feng to Han Yang, Goldie and the rest could not help but think in their hearts, "Isn't someone's luck a little too terrible."
The residence that Black Water had built was actually not too far from the Great Mysterious Underworld Swamp. Strictly speaking, it was still within the Mysterious Underworld Race's sphere of influence.
This residence was called the Cold Wind Mountain, and it was located in the Jade Pool Mountain Range to the east of the Great Mysterious Underworld Swamp. There was also a large lake there, and the mountains and rivers around the lake were connected. It was the habitat of the Tibetan Turtle Race.
The Tibetan Turtle also had the bloodline of the Black Tortoise, but it was also a branch of the mixed-blood Black Tortoise that depended on the Mysterious Underworld Race.
Black Water Mysterious Underworld was the son of the current Mysterious Underworld Great Sage, and he had outstanding potential and strength. He was worthy of the title of Young Clan Master, so it was naturally very easy for him to establish a residence on the outskirts of the Tibetan Turtle Race's territory.
Tuntun did not know if it did not like to eat or if it thought too highly of itself that it would become someone's mistress in the future. In any case, Tuntun did not make things difficult for the unlucky Mysterious Underworld creature. After receiving the news, it immediately headed to the Cold Wind Mountain in high spirits. Who knew that it would run into a wall there?
A mysterious array formation had been set up on the Cold Wind Mountain, preventing Tuntun from entering. This made the little taotie stomp her feet in anger.
"This must be an array formation set up by the Tibetan Turtle Race to curry favor with their master. Why would the Mysterious Underworld Race play such tricks?"
The demons of Vast Tianhuang Mainland all had different talents. In fact, there were also demons that were adept at setting up arrays. There were also a few powerful array masters in the Demon Realm. For example, the Nine Glory Sky Shattering Array was one of them.
The Tibetan Turtle Race was very proficient in array formations.
Tuntun anxiously looked at Li Yuanfang. Li Yuanfang frowned slightly. Although he was very interested in breaking the various array formations, he did not really want to care about Tuntun.
Unexpectedly, the eyes of the similarly indifferent Wang Lin suddenly flashed as he said, "Sixth junior brother, do you still remember what master told us before we left?"
Li Yuanfang's expression turned solemn as Lin Feng's words surfaced in his mind. "The key to this trip is magnetic …"
The array protecting the Cold Wind Mountain used magnetic force as its foundation. According to Li Yuanfang's knowledge, the Tibetan Turtle Race's array formation had always relied on earth and water, but he had never heard that magnetic force was involved.
