Just upon entering the cavern, it appeared so murderous, even Ye Fan was on guard, because no cultivator's presence could be sensed ahead.
No one emerged from within; that scream might have just been the result of the sudden influx of people, causing a shift in airflow, resulting in the sound of friction against the stone cracks and walls.
"What's there to be so alarmed about? You're cultivators, yet you're afraid of a little sound?" A sect master from a small sect, thinking that having reached the early stage of Deity Transformation granted him authority, took a few steps forward, but before reaching the place where the scream came from, his body suddenly halted, then seemed petrified, completely motionless, and finally, with a gust of demonic wind, disintegrated into dust and scattered.
"Ah?" The over two hundred cultivators present were stunned by the scene before them.
Hua Wu looked at Ye Fan and said, "Young Hero Ye, can you explain this?"
