However, the Ye family members didn't dare to openly express their insults and curses, as Ye Xiao was still the eldest young master, the eldest son of the Ye family head.
Only Ye Fan dared to do so openly, but now, Ye Fan was gone.
Inside the cave, Ye Xiao continued to cautiously explore the cave entrance, constantly releasing his soul perception to investigate. He didn't know what was inside, but he had a bad feeling and felt that this cave was definitely not simple.
He especially thought that this forest and cave were near his village, but he had never heard of a cave like this near his village.
Despite his doubts and fears, Ye Xiao felt as if he was being led deeper into the cave.
He didn't know what was causing this feeling, but he couldn't pinpoint the reason. Essentially, his gut feeling told him he had to keep going until he found something that would calm him down.
"What exactly is inside this cave?" Ye Xiao muttered, confused by his own feelings. This cave seemed to be calling to him, but he didn't know what he was feeling right now.
Two possibilities crossed Ye Xiao's mind about this place. If it didn't hold any treasure, it most likely posed a danger, such as a powerful expert hiding there or a wild beast making it its home.
But why did this place seem untouched? Could it be that no one had ever been here all this time and discovered this narrow cave beneath the large tree? No, that definitely wasn't the case.
Various possibilities crossed Ye Xiao's mind, but he felt as if he was constantly being pulled deeper.
With mixed feelings, Ye Xiao continued to delve deeper into the cave.
And after a while, something strange happened. Ye Xiao suddenly felt his blood being drawn even more.
"Ehhhh... what is this...?" Ye Xiao was shocked. He wanted to turn around, but he couldn't. The blood in his body felt like it was being pulled by some force, and his body seemed to be out of control.
"How is this...?" Ye Xiao's mind was filled with fear. He tried to control his body and turn around as hard as he could, but there was nothing he could do; his body seemed to be disobeying his commands.
And after a few moments...
"Child, there's no need to be afraid."
Suddenly, a voice rang in Ye Xiao's ear, but the suddenness of the voice made Ye Xiao even more terrified.
"Who... who... let me go?" Ye Xiao pleaded, still struggling to control his body.
"There's no need to be afraid, I have no ill intentions towards you."
The voice rang in Ye Xiao's ear again.
Hmmm...
Hearing that, Ye Xiao remained uneasy. Although he didn't sense any malice from the voice, in a situation like this, who wouldn't be afraid and panic?
In the dark and mysterious cave passage, a voice came from nowhere, and his body suddenly lost control. Who do you think wouldn't be afraid in a situation like this?
If any of the readers are not afraid, then you have an abnormality... Hehehe...
At this moment, with his heart pounding, Ye Xiao felt a sense of despair. He tried his best, but his body still couldn't control itself, continuing to walk into the dark passage.
It started out slow, then gradually accelerated, and then accelerated until Ye Xiao's body was flying as if being pulled by a powerful force.
And after a while...
Ahead, Ye Xiao could see a point of light, and the closer he got, the larger the point of light grew.
And after a while, Ye Xiao's body, pulled, arrived in an empty room with only a large rock in front of him.
This room had burning torches in every corner, making the cave passage appear as a point of light in the darkness from afar.
This...
Upon arrival, Ye Xiao felt the blood flowing through his body no longer out of control. Furthermore, there was a room at the end of the cave passage. But who had built this place? Furthermore, where did the strange force that had pulled him come from? And one more thing, where did the voice he had heard earlier come from?
Ye Xiao looked confused. He looked around. The room wasn't very large. Besides the torches burning in every corner of the cave, only a human-sized stone remained.
Just as Ye Xiao was lost in thought, the human-sized stone suddenly emitted light.
Ehhh...
Ye Xiao recoiled in shock. He hadn't expected such an ordinary-looking stone to suddenly emit light. Furthermore, since he was now a cultivator, he could clearly sense auras, and the aura of the stone that suddenly emitted light was also emitting a very powerful and terrifying aura.
"Calm down, kid, you don't need to be so scared."
At this moment, a strange sound reached Ye Xiao's ears again, and he could clearly hear that the light-emitting stone in front of him was the one emitting the sound.
But, instead of calming down, Ye Xiao was even more shocked.
This stone...
This stone not only glows...
But it can also speak???
Ye Xiao's mind was now filled with deep fear and shock.
He was only eighteen years old and had just awakened his golden core. Therefore, he was completely unfamiliar with the world. No, he hadn't even begun to understand the real world.
Although Ye Xiao had previously read a lot of martial arts and various other information, what did that mean? With him unable to awaken his golden core, everything he read and learned was meaningless. Furthermore, he had never read about stones that could glow and speak.
