When he entered the underground world, he could no longer see any traces of the green-robed yin-yang Elder.

He could only rely on the compass to confirm that the three disciples who were carrying out the mission were already quite far away, and their lives were not in danger yet.

He carefully observed the dark underground world. The Yin energy here was extremely heavy, and it was precisely the environment that the nine yin grass preferred. The probability of the nine yin grass appearing was indeed not low.

Su Yu used his clairvoyance to scan the surroundings and clearly discovered many strange-looking ancient beasts hiding in the darkness to hunt their prey.

“It is indeed a rather complete ancient landscape. There is a very complete ecological chain preserved,”Su Yu thought to himself.

Although their cultivation was rather weak, there should be a few dangerous beasts that stood at the top of the food chain.

He was cautious as he slowly moved forward to investigate.

A few days later, he had already reached the deepest part of the underground world.

There were still ancient beasts that were at the Overlord level here, and occasionally, there would be emperors of Heaven and earth that would reveal their auras.

Su Yu personally witnessed a bat at the initial stage of the Overlord level suddenly appear and capture a peak overlord level moth.

What was even more terrifying was that he noticed that there was not only one bat, but a whole group of bats hidden in the darkness, ready to attack their target at any time.

That number, roughly counted, was no less than ten thousand!

Su Yu could not help but feel his scalp go slightly numb. He restrained his aura to avoid being discovered.

“Eh? They have already stopped there for two days. Could it be that they have encountered difficulties?”Su Yu stared at the compass, his eyes seemingly thinking.

The one he was most afraid of was the green-robed elder. He had planned to wait and snatch one from them, but this person’s appearance forced Su Yu to come down personally to investigate.

Not long after, Su Yu caught up to them.

The three of them were holding their breaths and concentrating. They were hiding in a thirty-foot-deep swamp, hiding all their auras.

Su Yu looked around and revealed a trace of joy.

In the middle of the soft swamp, three long, dark red grasses that were three feet long were growing.

They were emitting a cold aura, attracting the attention of the beasts in the underground world.

“Mature nine Yin Grass!”Su Yu revealed a look of joy.

There was indeed one!

However, why were the three disciples hiding? Could it be that they had discovered an unknown danger?

Screech —

Right at this moment, a sharp screech pierced through the darkness.

An incomparably huge bat flew past and snatched away a moth that was flying towards the nine yin grass.

It was a local ancient bat!

No, it was not just one bat, but a whole group of bats!

They hovered above the Quagmire and flew in a criss-cross manner. Any beast that approached the nine yin grass would be hunted down.

“Using the nine yin grass to hunt?”Su Yu finally understood why the three disciples didn’t make any movements.

They didn’t even barge into the hunting area of the single crowned Emperor Bats.

If they showed up rashly, they would immediately be besieged by tens of thousands of bats.

With their strength, they wouldn’t be able to resist at all and would be besieged until they died.

At this moment, they moved. It seemed that they had figured out a way.

However, the three of them, who were covered in mud, each held a rune in their hands and emitted a weak masculine energy.

Those bats immediately became restless. However, as they were naturally yin-loving, they detested the masculine energy emitted from their bodies and didn’t attack because of this.

Su Yu’s eyes flashed and he folded them into dust before landing on one of them.

The other party didn’t notice at all and transmitted his voice in a low voice, “It seems like the method we tried this time isn’t bad.”

In fact, they had tried several times, but the result was that they were surrounded by bats.

In the end, they spent two days refining some yang-type talismans unique to the Taiji sect, and it worked as expected.

Without the bat’s attack, the three of them walked to the nine yin grass as if they were walking on flat ground.

“Haha, Yinyu, Qin Huai, it seems that our luck is not bad. The nine yin grass that elder Li Feng failed to find several times, we successfully found it!”The speaker was none other than Yang Hua!

Of the other two, the only woman was fairy yinyu.

Su Yu was secretly surprised that it was them.

If that was the case, then snatching Yang Hua’s nine yin grass would be even less stressful.

Qin Huai nodded. “Pick it immediately, one for each person.”

His eyes shone with a blazing light. With the value of the nine yin grass, not only would the sect receive a nine yin pill fragment as a reward, but the reward for this mission was 30,000 merit points.

If each person received 10,000 merit points, he would be able to exchange for another nine yin pill fragment.

In just one year, he would be able to get two.

His collection speed was shocking.

“Let me do it.”Yang Hua volunteered and used a special jade shovel to carefully shovel at the roots of the nine yin grass.

The nine yin grass was quite precious. Once it left the soil, it would not live for more than three days.

Therefore, it had to be shoveled together with the soil and the roots.

Ding Dong —

However, who would have thought that the jade shovel would hit the hard object under the quagmire.

Yang Hua tried again, but still failed to dig up the nine yin grass.

“Is there a stone under the nine Yin Grass?”Yang Hua muttered to himself. His soul swept under the nine yin grass, but there was nothing special.

He squatted down and placed his hands on the Quagmire, releasing his primal energy.

With the nine yin grass at the center, a ten-foot-wide crack appeared in the quagmire.

Only then did the situation below the nine yin grass appear.

The scene before their eyes made their hearts skip a beat at the same time.

Under the Quagmire stood an ancient human that was three feet tall!

His body was tall, and his entire body was exuding a savage aura. Two sharp fangs protruded from the sides of his lips, and his entire body was covered in three inch long bristles.

At this moment, his left hand was raised high, and he was holding three stalks of nine yin grass.

Seeing this scene, the three of them had an ominous feeling.

It was only because this ancient human was already dead and there was no aura on his body that they managed to barely calm their minds.

“Take it off and leave immediately,”Qin Huai said calmly. He had never heard his master say that there was an ancient human here.

Yang Hua nodded and did not hold back anymore. He slashed his sword at the ancient human’s arm, intending to take away the nine yin grass along with his arm.

Clang —

However, when this sword slashed down, what made the hearts of the three miss a beat was that the ancient human, who clearly had no aura, suddenly opened a pair of blood-red eyes.

The blood-red eyes revealed a human-like mockery and cruelty.

He who clearly didn’t have any aura suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura that was at the peak of the Three Crowns.

“Not good! He’s Alive! This… This is a trap set by the ancient people!”Fairy yinyu instantly understood. Her face was deathly pale as she hurriedly retreated.

Qin Huai’s reaction was also extremely fast as he quickly fled.

Only Yang Hua was too close. If he retreated, he would leave his back to the ancient people. He could only grit his teeth, and instead of retreating, he advanced with all his strength.

However, the ancient people’s empty right hand pulled out a stone rod from his waist, and he suddenly counterattacked.

Not only did Yang Hua’s sword not slash down, but it was instead struck back by the stone rod. Yang Hua himself suffered an endless amount of strength, and his throat was filled with a fishy sweetness.

He was extremely shocked. The other party had completely relied on his physique to block his full strength attack!

The stone rod’s momentum did not decrease, and it brazenly smashed towards Yang Hua’s head.

Yang Hua’s heart violently contracted, and with a grab of his palm, a law chain appeared, rushing out at the critical moment.

Ding —

However, the strength of that stone rod was still beyond imagination, and it was actually able to contend against the laws between reality and illusion.

The chain of laws was rebounded, and the momentum of the stone rod weakened.

Without waiting for Yang Hua to have a chance to escape, the ancient man suddenly opened his mouth and roared.

The voice contained an extremely powerful soul attack, causing Yang Hua’s entire body to stiffen. He stood rooted to the ground, unable to move.

Following that, an incomparably huge fist smashed down.

Yang Hua let out a miserable cry. He was smashed into the ground by the other party’s fist. His entire body was chapped, and it was a sign that he was about to collapse.

Coupled with the damage to his soul, Yang Hua rolled his eyes and fell into a coma.

The ancient man picked him up with a large hand and tied him to his belt as if he was treating him as prey.

Then, he grinned as he looked at Qin Huai and fairy yinyu who were fleeing.

Dong Dong Dong —

He took large strides as he fled. The ancient man who only had a physical body was extremely fast as he ran, causing the space around him to tremble slightly.

Fairy Yinyu was the first to be caught. With a swing of her staff, she was unable to resist at all and was directly knocked unconscious. She was also tied to the ancient man’s belt.

Qin Huai’s soul was on the verge of bursting out. He used every means at his disposal to escape, and even used the sect’s instantaneous movement talisman.

However, he was still no match for the ancient man. After fleeing for a few hours, all the talismans were used up, and the ancient man caught up to him. With a furious roar, his soul received a strong impact, and he could not move at all, allowing the ancient man to knock him unconscious, he hung him upside down on his belt.

Only then did the ancient people happily carry the stone rod and head deeper into the underground world.

As for the three nine yin grass in the mud, he did not even look at them.

The ancient people came to a cliff. There were many huge skeletons of bats piled up there, just like a mountain.

However, this place was already a dead end, and it was also the end of the underground world. There was no way out.

The ancient man held a stone stick and smashed it toward a certain part of the cliff. A strange scene appeared.

An ancient array fluctuation appeared on the cliff, and a crack that a person could pass through appeared.

The ancient man drilled into it with ease.

It turned out that there was another world inside the cliff.

What entered his sight was an ancient forest with dense yin qi that made people suffocate!

The ancient forest was pitch-black, and one could not see the end of it. It gave off a deep sense of oppression.

And at the edge of the forest, there were more than 10,000 ancient people active! !

They had built houses there and kept many beasts as livestock.

It was clearly a tribe!

The dust that Su Yu had transformed into stared at this scene in shock.

This should be the hidden world in the underground world, right?

The ancient tribe with tens of thousands of people before his eyes made Su Yu’s scalp go numb.

The cultivation of the ancient people who had yet to reach adulthood had two crowns, while the ancient people who had reached adulthood had three crowns.

If so many ancient people rushed out of the underground world… Su Yu simply did not dare to imagine that scene. Perhaps the entire five-star civilization would become their hunting ground.

What made Su Yu even more surprised was that a pitch-black long river flowed at the edge of the forest.

The river was covered in patches of dark red water grass. It was impossible to count the number of patches.

And those were not other things. They were the nine yin grass that was hard to find in the outside world!

In this place, the nine yin grass was just an ordinary water grass!
