she quietly lowered her head and crouched down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An crouched down as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before them, at the gate of the hall, lay a corpse, only half-buried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, to say it was half-buried might be inappropriate, because it seemed that the gales of time had swept away the yellow dust and sand, exposing half of the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Baili An’s surprise, the skeleton was not that of a Demon; its form was that of a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a place, within the pitch-black ancient city of Chaotic Netherworld Valley, lay buried a human skeleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just abrupt but also utterly baffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flesh of the skeleton had decayed, but beneath the skeletal skull lay a dried heart, pierced by a blade, obviously a fatal wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made Baili An even more curious was the cultivation node at the center of the heart, which showed signs of having been ignited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the remains of a human Cultivator,” Wen Hanwei said without opening her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingertip lightly touched the chest of the skeleton and she came to a precise conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An asked, “How could the remains of a human Cultivator appear here?” In the Chaotic Netherworld Valley, where killing was the norm, burying bodies seemed superfluous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know, and it’s not our concern,” Wen Hanwei said coldly, standing up and fearlessly proceeding forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a change in expression, Baili An shifted his gaze from the skeletal fingertips, where a snake-shaped silver ring was fitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he had seen nothing, he silently noted the appearance of that ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Baili An was very interested in the identity of this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the hall, the yellowed stone walls were painted with ancient oil paintings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The style was old, and most of the stone-carved oil portraits were blurred, nearly indiscernible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the dome, embedded black crystals were deeper than the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An didn’t look further; his gaze remained unfocused as he followed Wen Hanwei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, his heart felt as though it was tightly grasped by a hand; the recently cleared cultivation node started to heat up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because at this moment, he saw the man sitting on the throne deep within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s stature was not imposing, even somewhat pale and slender, dressed in an ancient gold-black robe, ornate and cold in style, mysterious and noble, reminiscent of the dark night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man propped his chin, seated on the throne, appearing to be sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was extremely elegant and beautiful, his lips blood-red and predatory, his facial features more delicate than a woman’s, his nose high and somewhat foreign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man had platinum blond slightly curly long hair which faintly emitted a subtle hue, seductively mysterious in this dark space, yet without loss of majesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hanwei also sensed this strong aura emanating from the end of the hall, spanning across the dark ages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly opened her eyes, the crystal amber pupils reflecting boundless darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was slow and calm, “Is that the Lord of Chaotic Netherworld Valley?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s pupils clearly reflected the man on the throne slowly opening his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips curled up slightly with a smile that hinted at toying with his prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a finger, resting it against his crimson lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke, his voice deep and magnetically masculine, “This way is impassable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hanwei drew the Yuxiao Sword in response, stating coldly, “It seems, defeating you will allow us to leave this place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man on the throne elegantly crossed a leg, his gaze exceptionally cold and deadly, “A mere Immortal of the Tribulation Realm dares to speak so boldly before me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final words “speak so boldly” bore an infinite authority, like an ancient Great Wall collapsing, unstoppable, the heavy Astral Wind eroding the stone-carved depictions even deeper!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hard ground appeared as though clawed by a savage beast, leaving numerous deep marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hanwei stepped forward, her body slender yet exceptionally resilient beneath her white robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a clear cry, her sword whistling through the air in the darkness, slashing it open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness was cut apart, countless black fragments scattered like torn paper, then fluttering down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment she entered the dark ancient city, Wen Hanwei’s amber eyes in the long dark night welcomed countless specks of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the light and shadow, high above on the throne, was the outline of that man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The essence of darkness was instantaneously crushed, with Wen Hanwei at the center, beneath her feet Sword Qi formed a potent misty Sword Array, roiling and surging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the interplay of light and shadow, the white Sword Qi mist darkened, its floating trajectory solidifying into stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere rapidly changing, the Dark Domain instantaneously swallowed up, a fiery golden sun ablaze, casting layers of mountains undulating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transforming the essence of Mount Heng, and equating to the moral fiber of all beings; like a balance, capable of becoming heaven and earth, known as Mount Heng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the Five Immortal Mountains, summoned by her sword, turned from illusion to reality, sketching out a majestic and pressing Sword Array domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient and mysterious black hall had completely vanished; amid the brilliant golden light, the woman in white stood alone, her garment traced by ethereal white mist, with the golden sun rising from the east.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sunlight shined obliquely, her amber eyes deeply contained countless ancient sword arrays, sketching one magnificent stroke after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gold sword movement drove away the darkness, with bell sounds heard from afar, resonating with the chants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before her were thriving flowers by the roadside, forests and springs splashing, morning dew flowing, and gentle spring breeze brushing the willow fluff on both riverbanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was her domain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hanwei declared, “My limit is not merely ten meters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Baili An’s eyes, the view filled with white clouds flowing like water, high mountains and rivers; all were unparalleled Sword Intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the materialized Mount Heng, remnants of mottled black shadows lingered, light as black snow fluttering, that was the domain of that man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An was profoundly moved by this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time he had felt the sunshine since his long slumber from ancient times, it wasn’t burning; it was a distant and familiar warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man on the throne narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly feeling this light was too gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gentle, yet somewhat sharply blinding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without standing up, he revealed a casually cold smile, “Oh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You actually use the sword to borrow the momentum of Mount Heng of the Five Mountains to contend against my Dark Domain, you do have some ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man, seemingly a person bored for years, gradually entertained, with hair-colored eyebrows slightly raised, “Come, tell me your name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There aren’t many who can be killed by me and have their names remembered, so feel honored.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shouldn’t you state your own name first as the most basic battle etiquette?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hanwei snorted coldly, waving the Yuxiao in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clear sky and Mount Heng instantly shrouded in a layer of sand and hurricane.\u003C\u002Fp>",1217,"2026-06-06T15:16:24.479Z",1,"novelbin.me","623d5a47b289b75de826acd6fc9a5af880992d2b91f4c845038f812dbaad4000","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-87","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-146",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
