Drilling into the ground, Yan Lan was extra careful every time he went down.

It took Yan Lan half an hour to walk across the vast distance.

Along the way, Yan Lan discovered that the density of the soul-locking aura was beyond imagination and was far from comparable to the Huanggui Slope area.

Although Yan Lan was not harmed by the soul-locking energy, the range of soul power detection was greatly suppressed.

In the Huanggui Slope, Yan Lan's soul power could still reach ten thousand feet. But here, he could barely scan a ten-foot range.

"It is indeed a soul-locking energy. Even my domineering and powerful thunder soul power can be easily suppressed. I wonder what the source of this soul-locking energy is?"

Yan Lan murmured to herself and thought in her heart: "Could it be that this soul-locking energy source was left behind by the person with great magical power who suppressed the Thunder Punishment Sword?"

"If it is left by the person with great supernatural powers, with my ability, even if I want to take it, I can't do anything."

After thinking for a moment, Yan Lan concentrated his attention. Where he was at this time, the soul-locking aura had reached an incomparable level, and his soul power could only barely reach three feet.

Yan Lan dived down more than a thousand feet, and suddenly, he felt strange fluctuations coming from under his feet.

"Although the soul power cannot be detected, but calculating the distance, we should be about to reach the source of soul-locking energy. Along the way, everything is extremely calm, which makes it seem a bit strange."

Yan Lan pondered for a while, then his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately dived down.

"It should be right here!"

Yan Lan suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and he actually penetrated the mud and stone and came into a space.

"Senior Lei Punishment is right. The source of soul-locking energy is located under ten thousand feet. However, the soul-locking energy here is simply... too terrifying!"

At this moment, Yan Lan's soul power can only detect a range of one foot.

And eyesight is almost useless.

Even if Yan Lan puts her palm on the tip of her nose, she can't see her fingers clearly.

"The soul power has been suppressed too much, so I can only rely on my feelings and slowly explore the direction where the gray energy is densest."

At this time, Yan Lan was like an amblyopic mortal who could only see a radius of one foot, with almost all six senses blocked.

Yan Lan walked a thousand feet towards the direction of the dense gray air, when suddenly, his soul trembled.

Half a foot in front of him, there was a ball suspended in mid-air.

At this time, the range of Yan Lan's soul power was only half a foot away.

"How...how could this happen? This..."

A strong look of disbelief appeared on Yan Lan's face.

At this time, if the soul-locking energy is removed, Yan Lan will find that he is standing on a hanging rock with a radius of nine feet.

The hanging stone is suspended in the center of this thousand-foot cave, three feet above the hanging stone. A gray ball is continuously exuding soul-locking energy.

None of this was enough to shock Yan Lan.

What shocked Yan Lan the most was that the gray ball, no matter its size or the patterns on it, was exactly the same as the two balls, one black and one white, in his mustard bracelet.

The black ball is obtained from Tianlu, and the white ball is obtained from Gangtianmen Treasure Pavilion.

"What is going on? Is it a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement?"

Yan Lan landed on the hanging stone and looked at the gray ball half a foot in front of her, her body trembling slightly.

If everything were connected, Yan Lan couldn't help but feel horrified.

He felt as if he was trapped in a huge whirlpool. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape from the whirlpool.

Whether he found the ancient jade, the ancient bracelet, or the three strange balls, although he encountered them on his own initiative, there seemed to be an invisible hand controlling his destiny.

Yan Lan's thoughts were slightly confused.

He felt like a puppet, a thoughtful puppet. Although he thought he was smart and free, no matter which direction he went, the road he took seemed to be paved in advance.

"No, this must be a coincidence. Perhaps, these things have a natural bond that human monks cannot perceive. It is a unique bond between them that urges them to come together."

"This connection is like the connection between the Thunder Punishment Sword and the Thunder Sword. I can't detect it at all. Only they can sense each other."

"If there is someone who can twist my destiny without me noticing it at all. Even the Thunder Punishment Sword has to succumb to him. Then his magical power must be so great that it reaches the sky."

"What reason does a person with such incredible powers have to control me, an ant cultivator?"

Yan Lan tried his best to calm down and leaned forward slightly. He wanted to see if there was the scabbard mentioned by the Lei Punishing woman under the gray ball.

"There really is a scabbard, Senior Lei Pun, you didn't lie to me."

"With my ability, I can see that there are no restrictions on this scabbard. But, will it really be easy to retrieve the scabbard?"

Yan Lan frowned, then squatted down and looked at the scabbard closely.

The scabbard is purple-green in color and is nearly half a foot long. If it were erected, it would be high enough to reach above Yan Lan's waist.

The widest part of the scabbard is nearly as thick as Yan Lan's waist, and it is covered with thunder marks.

A series of thunder marks are deeply engraved on the scabbard, from top to bottom, ferocious and ancient, as if they have been devastated by nine days of thunder and endured the forging of heaven and earth as a furnace.

"This scabbard is indeed something extraordinary."

Yan Lan gritted her teeth, then cautiously stretched out her hand to grab the scabbard.

"Huh? The scabbard is so heavy. If I don't use my spiritual power and use my body to pick it up, it won't move at all."

Yan Lan was secretly startled, and immediately activated her spiritual power, and then slowly moved the scabbard away.

Every inch I moved was done with great care.

On the hanging stone, there was a slight sound of gold and iron rubbing against each other.

This sound was heavy and long-lasting, as if it came from ancient times. Collision and friction with other objects would not produce this ancient sound anyway.

Yan Lan slowly backed away until he completely pulled out the scabbard. In an instant, his mind moved, he held the scabbard and rushed upwards.

He needs to leave this place quickly, the sooner the better.

As for the source of soul-locking energy, Yan Lan had a vague feeling that he could not touch it. After all, that thing was used to lock the Thunder Punishment woman, how could it be taken away easily.

"Bang..."

Yan Lan flew up nine feet, but hit a transparent barrier and was bounced back.

"Could it be that there are restrictions around this hanging rock?"

Yan Lan turned around and suddenly discovered that the entire hanging stone was shrouded in a restriction and could not get out.

"I asked, how can it be so easy to take out the scabbard? It turns out that this hanging stone has an imperceptible restriction, which means there is no way in or out."

Yan Lan took a breath and immediately took out the Yin Yang flag.

The Yin Yang Flag is said to be able to ignore all restrictions in the world.

Yan Lan did not use it in the Soul Locking Forbidden Formation because he was not in a hurry to get out. His purpose of staying in the formation was to kill Xuan Ye.

Since the Yin-Yang Flag was obtained by Yan Lan, it has broken out of the formation and has never failed.

"I hope the Yin-Yang Flag can show its magical power again."

Yan Lan's mind moved and she raised the yin and yang flag.

"boom……"

Yan Lan was blocked by the barrier again and bounced back.

"The Yin-Yang Flag actually failed. This is the first time that the Yin-Yang Flag failed. This forbidden formation is really powerful."

Yan Lan opened her eyes wide and landed next to the source of soul-locking energy, hoping to find some mystery from here.

Suddenly, Yan Lan frowned and suddenly discovered that there were two round pits under the gray ball where the scabbard was originally covered.
