Ye Liuyun asked Liang Xue, "Xue'er, do you have a map of this place?"

"Yes, I'll send it to you." Liang Xue immediately transmitted all the maps of here to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun examined the map in the Sea of Consciousness, then led the group westward. There were many mountain ranges blocking sight, making it a good place for them to evade pursuit.

"What kind of place is Yanluo Gorge? Is there anything special about it?" Ye Liuyun asked Liang Xue. He saw a red dot marked there on the map, but no textual description.

"I've been there once. It's a very special canyon, with a void‑restriction, and the peaks on both sides are extremely high. Even the wild geese can't fly through; they end up falling, which is why it's named that way," Liang Xue explained.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then had an idea. "Alright, we'll hide there!"

"Huh?" Liang Xue thought she had misheard.

"It's too dangerous! If we're surrounded there, it'll be hard to break out," Liang Xue continued.

"Just trust me; following me is the right choice. Let's scout the path first." Saying so, Ye Liuyun grabbed Liang Xue's hand and rushed toward Yanluo Gorge.

When the scene of Yanluo Gorge unfolded before Ye Liuyun and the others, they were all taken aback.

The canyon's sides were towering cliffs, with a valley in the middle cut like an axe. Approaching it, the group felt that the canyon indeed possessed a void‑restriction; ordinary people couldn't fly over it and could only rely on the rope bridge to cross.

Moreover, the rope bridge had no planks, only chains. If a chain were cut, crossing would be virtually impossible.

Ye Liuyun first tried to vanish into the void, discovered he could shuttle through it, and then felt confident.

"Let's go, we'll cross the bridge to evade tracking."

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense now detected a team of Martial Cultivators tracking from afar, searching toward them.

Hearing this, the group felt helpless. This area only had this mountain range; if they didn't hide inside, they'd eventually be found by the pursuers.

So the group ascended the chains one by one. Fortunately, both sides had handrails, making the crossing not too strenuous.

After Ye Liuyun and everyone were on the bridge, he quietly placed Magic Vine seeds at the cliff edge. The tiny black seeds instantly burrowed into the soil and lay dormant, unnoticed.

Once everyone safely crossed, Ye Liuyun and the others guarded the bridge, waiting to strike when anyone was halfway across.

At this distance, they didn't even need to hide; even a Yuan Dan Realm master could have his Divine Sense probe the far side of the bridge.

Soon, a search party from the He family arrived. An elder of the He family, leading over thirty disciples of varying realms, also brought two tracking mastiffs.

The reason they could keep up with Ye Liuyun was because of those two mastiffs.

After pursuing, they didn't hesitate; the elder immediately ordered his disciples to cross the bridge and capture Ye Liuyun and the others. Thus his team, under his lead, crossed together.

Ye Liuyun, leading the group, watched coldly, and when they reached the midway point, he signaled everyone to strike. His Mourning Bell, Lei Ming's Nine Dragons Mountain‑flipping Seal, Bai Hu's bone spear—these are Divine Rank or Honored Rank treasures; the others, at best Spirit Grade treasures, all hurled them forward in a rush.

The elder also produced a Honored Rank treasure to block. Ye Liuyun directly wielded the Mourning Bell to charge forward.

With a "Dong" boom, the Mourning Bell's echo resonated louder in the valley.

This clash not only shattered the elder's Honored Rank artifact into pieces, but also rang the Mourning Bell, instantly shaking the low‑level disciples' souls, causing them to fall.

The elder was also knocked down by the incoming Mourning Bell.

After one round of treasures hurled, only a dozen people remained on the bridge.

The group again wielded their treasures, continuing the bombardment. After two rounds, the bridge was completely cleared, not a single person left.

"Ha ha! This move is great; let's just hold here, we can kill however many come," Lei Ming shouted joyfully, finding it fun.

Everyone saw with their own eyes that when the people on the bridge reached the halfway point, they were attacked; they could neither push forward nor retreat, and could only be smashed down.

Even if someone used a treasure to resist, they would ultimately be knocked down by Ye Liuyun's Mourning Bell.

Ye Liuyun carefully warned everyone: "That's because the elder lacked powerful treasures; otherwise we wouldn't have had such ease. Later, not everyone may be without treasures."

The two mastiffs on the opposite side couldn't cross the bridge. Seeing the others perish, they tried to turn and run back. Ye Liuyun used his Golden Pupil to unleash Golden Crow Holy Fire, turning the two dogs into ash.

"Stay here, and when they have stronger treasures, we'll retreat."

Ye Liuyun had everyone rest on the spot, while his Golden Pupil and Divine Sense spread into the mountains, searching for a suitable hideout.

"There are still many ferocious beasts in these mountains, many of them at the fourth or fifth tier of the Celestial Gang! There should be some treasures; otherwise, why expend so much effort to build a bridge here? If there's nothing, who would come inside?"

Ye Liuyun, suspecting, carefully searched for places where treasures might appear. Soon, he discovered a suspicious burial area within the mountains. If there were treasures, they'd most likely be there.

He immediately released the Corpse‑Eating Worms, letting the Worm King lead the army of worms to scout inside. These worms are useless for other tasks, but excel at burrowing and locating treasures.

The Worm King let out a "Squeak" and led a swarm of worms underground toward the burial ground. Though his combat power is weak, he is at the first tier of the Celestial Gang, so he runs quite fast.

Ye Liuyun, with the group at one end of the bridge, openly roasted meat. He wasn't afraid of being discovered; their presence here would eventually be known, so they ate openly.

The others, while he roasted meat, prepared the next round of treasures to hurl.

"Don't throw away the weapons you usually use next time. If you encounter stronger treasures, you might be left without any weapons," Ye Liuyun reminded them.

So someone began swapping their treasures.

In Wu Qingcheng's hands, although there were no more Honored Rank treasures, there were plenty of Spirit Grade ones, enough that everyone could equip at least two.
