Chapter 165

After defeating the Guardian, the group continued searching for a way out in this mystical realm. They entered a long corridor, the walls on both sides embedded with glowing gemstones. Blue, green, purple, and red, the gems flickered like twinkling stars in the night sky, casting a hazy, dim illumination over the slightly gloomy passage. The floor was paved with smooth flagstones, and every step produced a faint echo, as if they were engaging in a secret dialogue with this ancient place. Zhang Yue still walked at the front of the formation. His posture was upright, resembling a proud, solitary pine. With sword-like brows, starry eyes, and a deep, resolute gaze, his black robe fluttered in the wind, making him look dashing and unconstrained. "Everyone be careful, who knows what might be ahead." His voice was deep and powerful, like a struck ancient bell, lingering leisurely through the corridor and instantly calming the slightly restless hearts of the group.
