"So, this must be the reason she stayed at the Feather Transformation Sect."
"I just don't know what exactly she's trying to get right now." Suddenly, Chu Feng's gaze shifted slightly as he finally understood.
It turned out the map Bai Suyan had asked him to decipher wasn't located elsewhere, but deep beneath the Feather Transformation Sect.
Previously, Chu Feng had always felt that Bai Suyan had a purpose for staying at the sect, and now he finally knew what that was.
It was clearly the item recorded on that map.
Furthermore, Chu Feng realized that no matter what was hidden deep underground, it wouldn't be easy for Bai Suyan to obtain.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be causing such a massive commotion right now. Obviously, something was guarding the depths below. Bai Suyan was most likely fighting it.
"What else could it be? Probably a treasure. But even your Heavenly Eye didn't notice anything wrong. This treasure is really well-hidden."
"Bai Suyan must have had some intelligence, or she couldn't have found this treasure," Egg analyzed.
"Mm." Chu Feng also agreed with Egg's assessment. His Heavenly Eye had been growing stronger, but ever since arriving at the Feather Transformation Sect, he hadn't detected any anomalies in the landscape formations here. It didn't seem like a place where a treasure would be hidden.
The reason he hadn't found it could only be twofold: either the treasure was hidden too deep, or the person who hid it was too powerful, concealing it perfectly without leaving a single trace.
"Boom!"
However, at that very moment, another enormous fluctuation erupted from deep underground. This time, it wasn't an energy ripple, but a powerful aura—a terrifying aura.
That aura was now surging upward from the depths with astonishing speed, an unstoppable force.
"No good! Hurry, get out of here!" Chu Feng shouted urgently.
He couldn't be sure whether the approaching presence was Bai Suyan or something else. If it was her, that would be one thing, but if it was something else, they were likely in serious trouble.
"Let's go." Seeing the panic on Chu Feng's face, the two elders, who had come prepared, didn't hesitate. They grabbed Chu Feng and the others and swiftly moved toward the surface.
"Boom~~~~~"
However, just as Chu Feng and the others escaped the depths and returned to the surface, before they could get far from the central area, a deafening explosion boomed from underground. At the same time, the entire Feather Transformation Sect began to tremble violently once more.
This change brought both shock and fear, for when that thunderous sound rang out, not only did countless deep cracks appear across the sect's surface, but the sect's protective barrier also dimmed—it had been breached.
"Boom!"
But just then, from a section of ground at the center of the Feather Transformation Sect, a muffled sound echoed. Black soil flew into the air as a streak of light shot out from deep underground, hovering in mid-air.
"That is... Mother!!!"
Looking closely, aside from Chu Feng, many others present were shocked. For at this moment, a figure stood in the sky—it was Bai Suyan.
However, Bai Suyan's face was deathly pale. Blood stained both her lips and body, and her left arm bore horrifying injuries. She had been burned, her entire left arm a mangled mess of flesh and blood, still emitting heat.
"Mother!" Seeing her mother injured, Bai Ruochen panicked and immediately flew over.
"Sect Master's Wife!" At the same time, the elders of the Feather Transformation Sect also wore expressions of worry as they surrounded Bai Suyan.
