YM778.TV Chapter 164 - Eating Their Own Words
Shen Changling couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. “Elder Ye, is it really okay for us to go in like this?”
“Don’t worry, we won’t be exposed.”
Ye Xuan’s calm voice was like a tranquilizer, inexplicably giving people a sense of security. He had almost become the backbone of everyone. After all, he was the one who gathered everyone and thought of such a method.
Now that things had come to this, it was impossible to turn back.
Ye Xuan took the lead and strode in. The others looked at his back, gritted their teeth, and stepped into the pit.
The world spun, and when everyone opened their eyes, they had already reached the bottom. a faint spiritual light emerged from Ye Xuan’s fingertips, illuminating the dark surroundings.
Surprisingly, compared to the almost solid black fog outside, there was much less inside.
That made everyone feel a little more at ease. They said in disbelief, “We actually succeeded!”
Ye Xuan had already learned the location of the array from the Penglai Immortal Beasts.”Let’s not waste any time. Let’s hurry and find it. Although we’re disguised, we still have to be careful here.”
After all, they were in the black fog’s lair, so Ye Xuan didn’t dare to take it lightly. If the mastermind behind the scenes knew that he had delivered himself to the door, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, the mastermind probably didn’t expect that Ye Xuan would do such an illogical thing.
A large part of the original underground palace had been destroyed by the power of the black fog. Ye Xuan couldn’t remember it very clearly, so he could only search based on his feelings. It was like a maze, and the surrounding scenery didn’t change.
Everyone almost thought that they had lost their way.
Just as they were carefully moving forward, they discovered a person standing not far ahead.
How could anyone exist in such a place? Unless…
It was too late for Ye Xuan to change direction, and everyone instantly became extremely nervous.
The “person” seemed to have noticed their existence as well and slowly floated over. When it got close, the group realized that it was not a person, but a cloud of black fog.
Different from what they had seen before, this black fog actually had an outline. From a distance, it looked like a person standing there, which was what had caused the scene they had seen earlier.
“This black fog is a little strange. Could it have found us out?”
The entrance was narrow, and the fog was blocking the way. They couldn’t go out unless they went through the black fog.
However, there was no guarantee that there would be no danger. They could only stop and silently assume that the black fog had not discovered anything unusual. Then, they quickly began to leave.
The black fog first circled around the group, leaving a cold wind wherever it passed, then stopped beside Ye Xuan, not moving at all.
The fog didn’t have any facial features, but it felt like a pair of sinister eyes were watching them in the dark, maliciously observing their every move.
Everyone’s palms were sweating. Only Ye Xuan was unmoving like a mountain.
Seeing that Ye Xuan didn’t seem to have any reaction, the black fog immediately stuck to him.
Even the people outside the secret realm couldn’t help but gasp. Such a scene was really creepy.
However, Ye Xuan’s expression didn’t change.
“Although this person’s cultivation base is poor, his heart is very tough. Whether it’s calling for everyone to find a way out or being fearless in the face of danger, there are few like him in the entire cultivation world.”
Many people looked at Ye Xuan with admiration. No one had expected that he could really lead the others into the depths of the underground palace without being discovered.
It was beyond everyone’s expectations to come so far.
“If they can escape this time, I really want to take them as my disciples.”
The one who said that was Elder Li of the Infinity Sect.
Besides him, many people from other sects also showed admiration for Ye Xuan. His performance in the secret realm was too outstanding.
Inside the secret realm, everyone was so shocked by the sudden development that they held their breaths. Some people almost lost their composure and cried out because of the scene in front of them. Fortunately, they were stopped by their companions.
Ye Xuan and the black fog were almost face to face, which was extremely strange. At that moment, the air was silent.
Ye Xuan, on the other hand, was relatively calm.
The black fog stuck to them for a while and then slowly moved away, as if it didn’t notice anything unusual. The path ahead also opened up.
Seeing it move away, the others broke out in cold sweat. “Let’s leave quickly. The black fog is too strange. It’ll be terrible if it comes back.”
But Ye Xuan felt that there was something strange about the black fog. He shook his head and said, “Let’s follow it and take a look. Maybe we’ll find something,”
What did it mean to jump into a pit of fire? Ye Xuan was the perfect example.
However, on second thought, they were already deep in the enemy’s base camp. What else couldn’t they do?
Everyone followed the human-shaped black fog carefully. Soon, the scenery around them changed, as if they had gone deeper into the underground palace.
However, the scene that appeared in front of them shocked everyone.
“This place is…”
Even Ye Xuan was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Disciples wearing the uniforms of different sects stood inside. Their faces were pale and their eyes were closed. Black figures floated around them, lying on their bodies and absorbing their life force.
Shen Changling’s voice was trembling. “Are these people still alive?”
Upon a closer look, their chests were still rising and falling slightly. Those people must be the disciples who had gone missing in the secret realm earlier.
The others’ gazes became excited, because their senior brothers and sisters were among them.
Ye Xuan looked around and didn’t find anything unusual or dangerous. Then, he walked out, and the others followed him.
“Even if they’re alive, I’m afraid they’re on their last breath.”
