Gu Qingqing and the others found the entrance to the underground lair beneath an old, dilapidated pavilion. Even though there was camouflage, the tiles there were different, not to mention the residual Demonic Qi left by the Demon Cultivator who had just entered helped them locate it.
After entering the passage, the smell of blood in the air intensified significantly, making one nauseous. Gu Qingqing turned pale after being overwhelmed by the stench. Noticing her pallor, Rong Ye thought for a moment, took out a talisman, lightly tapped his fingertips, and the talisman disappeared into the air, isolating the bloody smell. Gu Qingqing felt a lot better immediately.
As they were about to reach the entrance to the underground lair, Rong Ye and Si Lin both stopped.
"Let me handle this." Si Lin glanced at Gu Qingqing, who was being held by Rong Ye, and spoke softly, stepping forward to shield the two behind him.
