Chapter 288: 288
The Ghost Rider Sect!
Ye Chen learned from Su Tao’s memory that the sect had been passed down since ancient times . It was founded very long ago . They suspected that it was founded during the Shang dynasty .
This sect was good in the Ghostrider Method, so they had conquered the continent back then .
However, nobody knew how it vanished suddenly until Bai Zhanyuan found it .
There was a formation at the Ghost Rider Sect mountain gate, thus it was difficult for regular people to get in . Since Bai Zhanyuan found out that Su Yuhan had a pure yin body, he was eager to use her to perform a blood sacrifice to break the formation .
However, to Ye Chen, it was easy for a powerhouse on the peak stage to break it .
Moreover, so many years had passed, so the power of the formation was almost gone .
“The Liu Ding Liu Jia Formation, huh?” Ye Chen chuckled softly while he lifted his hands to perform a hand seal to break the formation .
However, Su Yuhan suddenly walked to the core of the formation .
Just when he was about to try to stop her, he realized that the formation did not work on her .
“What?” Ye Chen jolted a little and followed her immediately because he was worried that something might happen to her . Meanwhile, Ye Wushuang followed closely behind them while carrying Mengmeng .
Now, Ye Chen clearly saw that with each step Su Yuhan took, the formation would weaken more and more .
“How is that possible?!” He could not help but feel rather shocked .
One must know that the formation at the Ghost Rider Sect mountain gate had been activated . It was impossible for one not to be attacked by the formation unless the person was a Formation Master or someone who refined formations .
Ten minutes later, Su Yuhan walked into the formation . They soon entered a long tunnel .
Whoosh!
The candles all over the walls lit up suddenly all the way to the end of the tunnel . Meanwhile, there were scary ghost faces carved all over the walls in the tunnel .
Su Yuhan suddenly stopped walking, appearing rather puzzled . “Ye Chen, I find this place rather familiar . ”
“Have you been here?” Ye Chen asked .
“No!” Su Yuhan shook her head lightly and said in a blur, “It’s my first time here, but I don’t know why I find this place familiar as if I’ve been here before . ”
She paused as she spoke to this point . “Also, I’ve got the feeling that something is calling out to me in here . ”
Ye Chen’s expression changed slightly upon hearing that . He could not help but turn his head to look at Ye Wushuang behind him . They saw the seriousness in each other’s eyes .
At that moment, Su Yuhan walked in further, walking even faster .
“Slow down, Yuhan!” Ye Chen reminded and walked faster to catch up with her .
Over ten minutes later, they arrived at the end of the tunnel . There was a heavy stone door before them . It was carved with all sorts of patterns . It was an inferno .
There was a faint few words on the stone door . It was written ‘anyone who comes in will die!’ .
The words were faintly glowing in a green light as the candles around shone on it . It gave out an indescribable eerie feeling .
Mengmeng ran into Ye Chen’s embrace, feeling rather scared . “Daddy!”
“Wushuang, open the door!” Ye Chen said .
Ye Wushuang took two steps ahead . Subsequently, he pressed his hand to the stone door . However, he could not open it no matter how hard he pushed it .
“Let me do it!” Su Yuhan suddenly said . She walked directly to a row of candles . She stretched her arm out and turned the bottom of the first candle, then the bottom of the sixth candle .
Bang!
As a loud thud came, the extremely heavy stone door opened automatically .
A low, suppressed aura came from the gap .
Su Yuhan was about to go in, but Ye Chen held onto her and said with his deep voice, “How did you know about the switches on the stone door?”
“I-I don’t know!” Su Yuhan looked at a blur and shook her head . She said after shaking her head, “A gleam seemed to flash through my head and I figured it out . ”
Ye Chen’s expression turned grim . “Yuhan, let’s go back . We’re not going in!”
His instinct told him that something was wrong . Su Yuhan had never been here before, and she was a mortal .
However, the formation at the Ghost Rider Sect mountain gate which was troubling to Bai Zhanyuan did nothing to her . She was familiar with the place and even knew about the switches of the stone door .
For safety reasons, he decided not to go in . He would come back himself if he insisted on going in!
“No!” Su Yuhan, who had always been obedient, shook her head at the moment . She looked at him in a begging manner . “Ye Chen, d-don’t go just yet . The feeling is growing, and I must go in . Don’t worry . I’ll be fine . ”
“We can go in, but I must lead the way!” Ye Chen nodded and took the lead to step into the gap of the stone door . At the same time, he held onto Su Yuhan’s hand tightly .
A cold wind blew .
A dim stone room appeared in their field of vision . It was like a living room that was over 300 meters wide . There were hundreds of luminous pearls mounted on the walls around them .
However, everyone had their eyes on the stone platform in the middle of the stone room .
The stone platform was merely three meters high . It was completely red as if it was soaked in fresh blood . Meanwhile, there were some huge bronze cauldrons all over .
The bronze cauldrons were of various shapes, and there were birds, beasts, insects, and fishes carved on them .
At that moment, green flames were burning in the cauldrons, exuding an extra eerieness in the stone room . There were countless bones scattered beneath the cauldrons . They belonged to humans and beasts, but most of them were rotten .
It was an altar!
Ye Chen’s pupils shrunk slightly .
An altar was a tool used for sacrificial ceremonies .
Sacrificial ceremonies existed since the very beginning of time . It was a ritual for humans to show their appreciation to God, especially during the feudal society period . Sacrificial items would be used during the ceremony . It could be food, animals, or even humans .
The most classic would be the period during the ruling of King Zhou of Shang whereby he would sacrifice living humans .
Even in the cultivation world, such sacrificial ceremonies existed . However, most of them were a cult technique . The object of sacrifice was mostly demons .
Ye Chen had witnessed with his own eyes how a cult almighty destroyed a stellar territory and used tens of billions of population as the sacrifice to summon a demon that was from beyond their territory .
Su Yuhan wanted to walk to the altar by instinct, but Ye Chen gripped onto her tightly until his left foot stepped onto a switch
Crack!
The ground shook, and the entire stone room began shaking .
In the next second, black energy came out of the altar not far away . The black energy turned into shadows as they ascended .
There were elusive faces in the shadows that released all sorts of eerie shrieks .
At that moment, the entire stone room looked like it had turned into a ghost land . A hundred ghosts lingered around while wailing .
Ye Chen protected Su Yuhan behind him by instinct .
Whoosh!
While terrifying spirits flew all over the stone room, gusts of cold wind blew at Ye Chen suddenly .
