God Of Slaughter - Chapter 567

Chapter 567

There was a desolated plain in the North of Spirit Treasure Sect . This was a cold, dry area, without a single blade of grass . The ground there had many open cracks .

This plain had countless burrows, like stars in the sky, which tunneled to the deep place underground .

Gloomy, cold wind blew vaguely, chilling the bones . It could even intrude warriors’ Sea of Consciousness, which could make people felt its eccentric features from deep inside the soul .

Burrows with different sizes looked like quiet but open mouths of demonic beasts . They were pitch-black, and one couldn't see the mysteries inside . They looked quite dangerous .

No one knows how those burrows were formed . They’d existed since this plain was discovered more than ten thousand years ago .

This place was quite strange . There was no rain; even if one stayed there for dozens of year, he would never see a drop of rain .

According to rumors, this land was the tomb where the corpses of experts were buried in the Antiquity Time . Those mysterious and dangerous borrows drilled into that deep place underground, leading directly to the Shady Firmament Old Mound .

…

After midnight…

Stars scattered in the sky, twinkling like fireflies . The wind howled over the gloomy, isolated plain, chilling to the bones .

A streak of shining light zoomed over, suspending above the plain .

Silhouettes landed one by one from the flying carriage at a giant burrow .

"All the caves in this area dug deep into the underground . Some are very menacing . One wrong step can bury you in this place forever… never to be rescued," Ye Xiong took a deep breath, explaining with a serious countenance . "If you can’t identify the direction and go there rashly, you may encounter some ancient barriers which will destroy both your body and soul . "

"Be careful! It’s unknown for how long the Shady Firmament Old Mound has existed . In the legends, this place has stood here since the Antiquity Time . " Zhu Yi was serious, giving advice to Lin Zhi, Luo Xiao, and Luo Meng . "Later on, you can’t act carelessly . Stay close to us . Once you’re lost, don’t move . Use the Sound Stone to call me . "

Lin Zhi, Luo Xiao, and Luo Meng nodded slightly, seeming to be scared .

Each warrior in the Divine Great Land had heard about the eccentric, evil features of the Shady Firmament Old Mound . This plain had buried many experts . With one wrong step, the barriers would besiege them . Not many were lucky enough to escape .

Yue Ying and Yun Xin were giving advice to Li Mu Yu and Bai Hui Quan, asking them to be more alert .

Shi Yan frowned as he felt the thick, cold wind pour into his body . His heart shivered .

A cold wind was howling everywhere . No one knew how it was formed . However, this kind of wind had a strong penetration ability, as it could even blow to people’s bones, which made the Essence Qi stagnant .

Shi Yan quietly urged his energy, using a bit of the heat from the Earth Flame . A warm current flowed through his entire body . He was moved, as the cold, gloomy feeling was reduced by a great deal .

"Is it the entrance?" Yue Ying’s almond eyes lit up a little bit as she was looking at the big cave near her feet and asking with a soft voice .

A cold gust blew through that cave entrance . It was completely dark . The wind was blowing here and there just like some ghosts crying, which could scare people a lot .

 "Yes, it is . " While Ye Xiong was talking, he took out an indigo elliptic light ball and shot it out .

The light ball fell slowly, its color changing constantly . The deeper the light ball got into the cave, the darker the light was . Later on, the indigo light ball became glistening purple .

"The cold wind’s too strong . Wait for a few minutes, we’ll get in there . " Ye Xiong was familiar with the situation here . He retrieved the light ball and then explained, "Cold wind will activate the barriers inside . As soon as the cold aura in there dilutes, the ancient barriers won’t be activated . We should wait . "

In this delegation, Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu seemed to have some understanding of the status of this Shady Firmament Old Mound . They nodded to agree with Ye Xiong’s plan .

This was the first time Shi Yan and the juniors came to the Shady Firmament Old Mound . They knew nothing about the anomalies here . Thus, they didn't have the right to give their opinions . They had to act as they were told .

"No need to be tense now," Zhu Yi smiled and said with a warm voice since he saw the atmosphere was heavy . "If we don’t get into the cave, there’s nothing dangerous . Even if the cold gust out there is getting sharper, there’s no barrier or fatal danger . Ye-ge has visited here once . He’s explored the area . We just need to escort him there . Before we meet that beast, there should be in no danger . "

When people heard him saying so, they relaxed their tense nerves a bit .

Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!

The sound of bodies tearing through space came from a place far away, coming here with the cold wind .

A surprised light flashed in Ye Xiong’s eyes . He shouted, "Someone’s coming!"

Shi Yan immediately put up guard .

Zhu Yi exposed the hands he had kept hiding in the sleeves, which wore a lot of gem rings . Each ring was sparkling with amazing light in the dark . They were, of course, his secret treasures .  

‘Filthy rich, indeed!’ Shi Yan acclaimed in his heart .

Each elder of the Spirit Treasure Sect was wealthy . They had collected a lot of secret treasures from managing trading in their cities . Experts of the Spirit Treasure Sect could rely just on the treasures to smash their opponents . And when the others lost, they wouldn’t have even seen the full abilities of those Elders .

Their various treasures were clearly effective in increasing their competence . When they had more weapons or tools, they could have more backups during the fight .

Sometimes, a battle could turn into a competition of burning money to see who had more treasures and medicines .

People from the Spirit Treasure Sect were famous for this aspect . They were good at this type of fighting .

The howling wind ceased slowly .

Zhu Yi closed his eyes, as a fluctuating flow of his Soul Consciousness expanded from him, discreetly moving to the direction of the howling wind .

Shi Yan knew he was sensing, so he just waited in silence .

Indeed, five seconds later, Zhu Yi opened his eyes, his face amazed . "Why have they come here…?"

"Who?" Yue Ying inquired immediately .

"Lei Mo of Thunder Emperor City and Ai Po of White Emperor City," frowned Zhu Yi .

Shi Yan arched his brows . His face slightly changed as his mind flickered .

Lei Mo was the City Master of the Thunder Emperor City of Fighting Union . Ai Po was Ai Ya’s father, the Master of the White Emperor City . Both of them had the Third Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base . They all liked fighting, which made them tough to deal with .

It wasn’t strange that the City Masters of Thunder Emperor City and White Emperor City appeared at Shady Firmament Old Mound . What was strange was, why did they come at this moment?

He couldn’t help but look at Ye Xiong .

It was obvious that Ye Xiong had hidden something from them . If not, not many experts would gather at the Shady Firmament Old Mound for only one Heaven Thunder Beast .

According to Ye Xiong, hotshots from the Martial Spirit Palace and the Heaven Temple would come for this Heaven Thunder Beast, and that they were likely to meet them .

But at this moment, people from Martial Spirit Palace and Heaven Temple hadn’t come . Yet, the City Masters of Fighting Union had appeared one step ahead . It should be something concealed .

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu knitted their brows . They didn't look pleased when they looked at Ye Xiong, waiting for his explanation .

"I’m inviting you here to deal with the Heaven Thunder Beast . You don’t need to get involved in the other stuff . " Ye Xiong relaxed his eyebrows, answering them neither slowly nor fast . Apparently, he didn’t want to make things clear .

He stated his opinions already, and the others couldn’t do anything now . As they had come here, they could only be persistent, walking on the same path as his .

Shi Yan suddenly recalled Ai Ya . He wondered if this woman would come here too . When they were in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, this woman had trapped him once . If he weren't smart enough, he would have been killed .

In the first exotic land, Ai Ya took the lead and stormed to the intertwining galaxies in the sky . He didn't know what had happened there . When he got up there, she had disappeared .

He had the feeling that Ai Ya had collected something there . After he arrived the Divine Great Land, he had met up with Cai Yi . She told him that Ai Ya had come back to the White Emperor City, and not long after that, she had a breakthrough and started to grow rapidly .

Ai Ya was the precious pearl in Ai Po’s hand . He really loved his daughter . If Ai Po came to the Shady Firmament Old Mound this time, he would probably bring her with him .

Upon his thought, Shi Yan wanted to release the Soul Consciousness to sense .

However, right when was about to take action, he felt a sense of soul fluctuation discreetly move above their head .

When his Soul Consciousness was released, he shivered under that soul fluctuation . When he recovered and wanted to pursue it, it had already disappeared into thin air . The place where the howling wind came didn’t have any trace of soul fluctuations .

It seemed the other had used some means to conceal their aura and soul fluctuations to prevent their sneaking .

"They detected us," Zhu Yi squinted his eyes and snorted, "Stealthy . They hid their aura . Harrumph! Do they think that I can’t do the same?"

Then, an emerald ring on his finger sparkled .

Green waves covered everybody instantly like an upside down bowl .

This is a treasure in soul concealing category .

Waves of this green light prevented Soul Consciousness from piercing through . It covered their vitality fluctuations and aura, exposing nothing that could help identify their whereabouts .

Ye Xiong started to sense the change of the cave again . The light ball floated up and down for a while, but the purple halo didn’t have any big change .

Ye Xiong’s eyes brightened up . He laughed quietly . "Alright, we can jump down . "

Then, Ye Xiong was the first person flying towards that cave . While he was slowly descending, he reminded the others . "Everybody should slow down . Don’t rush . Stay close to each other . " 

"Let’s go," Zhu Yi nodded . He swung his hand, as a tender energy covered Luo Xiao, Luo Meng, and Lin Zhi entirely . They slowly sunk down .  

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu followed them . Shi Yan was the last one leaving; he was very cautious .

…

Thousands of li away, a group of six, including Lei Mo and Ai Po, was seen standing in front of a cave, frowning .  

Ai Ya, the one Shi Yan had just recalled, was here . A young man with a tough and stocky build stood next to her . This man had a pure smile, and he seemed to have a close relationship with Ai Ya .

Ai Ya beamed a weak smile from the corner of her mouth while talking cheerfully with that young man . Perhaps she had forgotten Shi Yan, whom she had met in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist . Also, she had never thought that she would meet an old friend, who was a thousand miles away from her, in this ancient burial mound .

"Not much different," Lei Mo laughed, looking at the cave . "We shall go . Ye Xiong and the others seem to have the same purpose as us . We shouldn’t let them arrive earlier than us . "

Ai Po was really handsome . He nodded, "Yeah, we should hurry up . "

This group then slowly jumped into the cave .
