My beautiful CEO wife

"A skull insignia, that’s the mark of the Undying Clan!"

"It seems the barrier is just behind this ice wall, there’s no doubt!"

Xiao Zheng used Gang Qi to transmit his voice and said to Hades.

Then he directly punched under the water, landing a heavy blow on the ice wall!

Boom!

The enormous force instantly turned the cold pool into a fountain!

Inside the cold pool, dark tides surged, causing countless whirlpools to appear!

When the turbulent pool water gradually calmed down, the third barrier was finally exposed to the sight of the two!

"Now my plan can finally be implemented."

Xiao Zheng sighed in relief internally and spoke aloud.

Hades had already moved next to the barrier by this time. As she reached out to touch the barrier, she was blocked by an invisible force: "I can’t get through, just like the other two barriers."

"That’s because you didn’t use the right method, let me do it." Xiao Zheng said.

Hades then stepped aside, giving Xiao Zheng space to work.

Xiao Zheng approached the barrier and, following the records in Satan’s diary, began to prepare for releasing the power of the barrier. Once the power of the barrier weakened, he could cross through it.

In fact, the method to release the barrier’s power is very simple: use blood.

This third barrier is very repulsive to blood, once blood splashes onto the barrier, its power will be weakened.

Xiao Zheng used telekinesis to cut his finger, allowing a few drops of pale golden blood to fall on the barrier. As soon as his blood touched the barrier, the shield in front of it shattered instantly.

"Is it really that simple?" Hades asked, somewhat surprised.

Xiao Zheng nodded and said: "Although Satan’s diary doesn’t explain why, the way to open the barrier is indeed that simple. I’m going in now, I’ll leave this here in your care."

"I will." Hades nodded slowly, and after a pause, she spoke again, "Be careful."

Such caring words were rarely heard from her mouth.

Xiao Zheng felt a warmth in his heart, nodded, and then leapt into the barrier. With a flash of light, his figure instantly disappeared from Hades’ sight.

Seeing this scene, Hades suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart.

She stood quietly by the barrier, and only after it hid again did she return the way she came...

Meanwhile.

After a brief moment of darkness, Xiao Zheng finally arrived at the Ancient World.

Much to his dismay, the other side of the barrier was also hidden underwater. However, compared to the cold pool, the water temperature here was undoubtedly comfortable, like taking a hot bath.

Xiao Zheng glanced around, memorizing the location of the barrier, and then quickly began to ascend.

Upon reaching the surface, the scene before him deeply stunned him.

The pool of water where Xiao Zheng was located was actually on top of a mountain. Not far from the pool was a cliff. Judging by the height of the opposite peak, falling from the cliff would certainly leave no bones intact, and it must be at least a thousand meters high!

Looking into the distance, he could see towering peaks like Divine Swords piercing the clouds, completely presenting a wild and rugged landscape!

"To think the Ancient World looks like this."

"It’s a bit different from what I imagined, it’s too wild here!"

What Xiao Zheng meant by ’wild’ was not barren.

With the surrounding clear waters and green mountains, it was definitely incredibly beautiful scenery.

By ’wild,’ he meant that there wasn’t a single person in sight, or even human architecture. Instead, he saw many beasts, with a massive serpent at least fifteen meters long coiled up not far from the pool.

The serpent was flicking its tongue, its head facing in Xiao Zheng’s direction.

After just one glance at the serpent, Xiao Zheng’s gaze alone frightened it into fleeing towards the nearby dense forest: "It really escaped just like that... Indeed, creatures of the Ancient World, even a giant serpent has more intelligence than those outside."

"Moreover, its size is much larger than those outside, evidently thanks to the dense vitality here."

By this time, Xiao Zheng was already on the shore, the dense earthly energy in the air made him feel a certain comfort.

No wonder people of the Ancient Clan take pride in residing in the Ancient World, compared to Earth, it’s indeed the most suitable place for cultivators to live. Cultivating here for one day is equivalent to seven days outside, and that’s not just talk.

Circulating the elemental energy through his body, the moisture on Xiao Zheng evaporated instantly.

"Next, it’s time to find the Ancient Clan people."

"I wonder where exactly the Ancient Clan resides."

Gazing at the rolling mountains in the distance, Xiao Zheng suddenly felt a bit excited.

For this trip to the Ancient World, he had set two missions for himself.

The first was to gather intelligence on the Ancient Clan, and the second was to act as circumstances allowed, to weaken the power of the Ancient Clan as much as possible. He would leave the Ancient World only after completing at least one of these tasks.

As he was new and unfamiliar with the place, Xiao Zheng randomly picked a direction and flew into the clouds.

He flew quickly, with the scenery below swiftly passing by.

However, after flying a distance of several hundred miles, Xiao Zheng still did not see any signs of human activity. He couldn’t help but feel confused, wondering if he had truly entered the Ancient World.

Suddenly, as he was feeling restless, he suddenly discovered two figures in a dense forest below!

They were sitting cross-legged under a large tree, barbequing!

"Finally found Ancient Clan people!"

"Eastern faces, they must be either from the Witch Clan or the Human Clan!"

Suspended in the air, Xiao Zheng gazed carefully at the two men, making a slight judgment in his mind. Without any hesitation, he chose to land directly in front of them.

Startled by someone descending from the sky, the two barbequers immediately jumped in shock.

"Who are you!"

After regaining their composure, the two quickly became cautious.

Xiao Zheng showed no trace of flaw, saying: "I am an ascetic, accidentally arrived in this unfamiliar place and got a little lost. Could you tell me what place this is?"

"An ascetic? Lost?" The two exchanged glances and found the claim somewhat absurd.

Then one of them spoke up: "First, tell us who you are. Which clan do you come from?"

"I come from the Witch Clan, my name is Li Bing." Xiao Zheng replied without a hint of hesitation.

Upon hearing his words, the two’s expressions immediately turned uneasy.

"You’re lying, we both come from the Witch Clan!"

"And this is our Witch Clan’s territory, how could you be from the Witch Clan and not know where this is?"

"Quickly, tell us who you really are?"

As soon as they finished speaking, a murderous aura erupted from them!
