Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1462: Chapter 854: Spirit Coffin Earth Burial

If they were here, no matter how powerful these tree roots were, they wouldn’t withstand the might of Yi Dao and the others. Coupled with Ye Zui’s strong auxiliary abilities, they could quickly stabilize the situation. So, the person behind the scenes used the Dragon King to divert Yi Dao and the others... If Ye Zui hadn’t stayed put here, I’m afraid those over there might already be mostly dead now.

Sui Yi furrowed her brows at this moment: "Spirit Coffin Burial Technique"

She only knew that the spirit coffin was unusual before, so she deliberately held back her hand, just to have the ability to resist when the other side made a move, but she didn’t expect the other side to possess such a means.

"What is Spirit Coffin Burial Technique?"

"Beneath the earth, the strongest vitality comes from the lineage of tree roots. The so-called burial technique is to nurture the body in the spirit coffin into tree roots in the form of a heart of the tree, rooting into the ground, plundering the flesh and blood of all living bodies to infuse itself, regaining vitality... Because it is based on the earth, it is called a burial technique!"

"Witchcraft?"

The Flower Demon was not implying that the person behind the scenes was a witch, but rather subconsciously felt that only witchcraft could be so powerful.

"No... it’s human technique."

"Really? Human technique can be so terrifying?"

It’s not that Gong Jiu and the others were belittling themselves, but since ancient times, whether in myths or legends, humans were a weak group.

"Humans are the most moldable life forms.... As the years pass, other races enter a period of decline, but the Human Race grows more and more prosperous..."

Sui Yi patted Gong Jiu’s shoulder, placing a peach blossom in his backpack.

"Moreover, the origin of humans is also..."

It seemed she thought of something, her eyes growing heavier, and she suddenly cut off her words. Gong Jiu and the others sensed something amiss but didn’t think too much of it because just then the one-sided crisis near the spirit coffins was suddenly intercepted.

The Vice Sect Leader, who had been coldly observing from the peach blossom branches, finally moved!

When her left hand reached out, a flower-like spiral vortex opened in her palm, with several mist-like gases swiftly swirling out...

Hiss! Hiss! These rampant and murderous tree roots suddenly weakened, as if they were drunk, their actions significantly slowed. Such high efficiency drew attention and alarm.

Yi Chilian and the others struggling to fend off seized the opportunity to cut off many tree roots, escaping over a hundred meters away, avoiding deadly danger.

While transmitting information to headquarters and submitting the current intelligence, Yi Chilian was secretly amazed.

"How formidable, is this the power of the Vice Sect Leader of The Gate?" Both the Imperial Guards and martial arts masters were quite wary of Ye Zui’s abilities.

This wide-ranging auxiliary ability is very rare and frightening—if it’s effective.

In group battles, it’s akin to a cheat-like super skill.

Cao Ling and the other masters outside the tree root cluster seemed to have anticipated that their Vice Sect Leader could balance this situation, so they didn’t flee but instead prepared....

"Lord Ye, can we go in..."

They wanted to go in to retrieve the entangled spirit coffins, knowing that if they delayed, other hidden forces might get to them first.

The tree roots continuously weakened and struggled, seemingly wanting to resist the intoxication, but Ye Zui stood on the branches, releasing intoxicating mist, which was a continuous numbing. Simply put, this was a good opportunity!

Ye Zui glanced at Cao Ling, "Go in if you want to die."

Cao Ling froze, was it that dangerous inside?

Yet he saw Ye Zui’s right thumb turn the ring on his ring finger, and the ring spiraled to glow, activating the mobile connection capability...

"The target has acted; it’s the Spirit Coffin Burial Technique. I can still intoxicate it for three minutes. If you can’t handle that Dragon-man, come back immediately... Choose one between the spirit coffin or the Dragon-man!"

The tone was quite forcefully cold.

The response from Yi Dao on the other side was very simple.

"One minute!"

There came the accompanying roar of the Dragon King...

The fight was quite fierce.

In the Peach Blossom Forest, amidst the scattered martial artists, there were some who were rather peculiar, like two individuals... Not only did they not run but instead grinned at the source of the chaos.

"Oh~~ What a great surprise this magical land is.. isn’t it our time to act?"

"Be careful, the woman from The Gate is still there, and her intoxicating mist is quite troublesome.."

"No need to worry, if the two of us act together, she won’t survive for sure... Go!"

Whoosh!

The two figures shot out over a hundred meters in an instant... leaving two human skins on the ground.

On the other side, Sui Yi had already caught the conversation between Ye Zui and Yi Dao and heard the roar coming from inside the residency...

Magnetic Sensation followed the sound, and soon saw Yi Dao and his team fighting with the Dragon King, but due to the changes in the Peach Blossom Barrier, both Yi Dao and Marquis Gu Wen were distracted.

This Dragon King was too formidable; capturing it was too difficult, while there were perils aplenty at the Peach Blossom Barrier, and their own sect members were still inside. Furthermore, spirit coffins were, after all, easier to obtain than the Dragon King...

Making a decision was an easy task.

Moreover...

Boom!

The Dragon King suddenly broke open their somewhat slack defense line and jumped straight into the pond in that nearby courtyard.

Once in the water, it became even harder to catch.

They had fallen into a trap!

Retreat!

Yi Dao turned back, transforming into a stream of light, dashing out....

In one minute, he could rush back....

However.. it seemed a bit too late.

When he reached the outside of the Peach Blossom Barrier, raising his head, he could see the towering... gigantic... beehive?

Numerous tree roots rose from the ground, weaving and entangling in the sky to form an elliptical giant beehive over twenty meters in diameter.

In the entanglement, he could almost not see the spirit coffins tightly enveloped within.

The beehive was formed...

Murderous intent has been exposed!

Yi Dao furrowed his brows, the man already shot in...

After a while.

Splash.

It turned!

The entire Peach Blossom Barrier is turning.

The formation has started again!

Yi Dao’s face is heavy, turning to look at Mo Du and others who have also come in, clearly, their expressions are equally grim.

First lure away, then lead in, and then activate the Peach Blossom Barrier...

Such a clever scheme!

Yi Dao’s gaze is deep: "Gentlemen, I wonder if this is a trap set by the country’s noble clans against The Gate, or if you’ve also been betrayed by your collaborators?"

Mo Du and the others also saw the activated Peach Blossom Barrier, once it starts, the entire Peach Blossom Forest becomes like a maze, completely indistinct, and you can’t find the way you originally came in, even if you can see the beehive, entering will lead you to get lost.

This is the terror of the Peach Blossom Barrier.

And clearly, those who can control the Peach Blossom Barrier... are only their partners — Peach Blossom Villa!

"Damn it! Used! Who gave him such guts!"

Whether it’s Yi Dao, or Marquis Gu Wen, or the heads of the three great noble clans at this moment, all feel like they’ve been harassed like dogs.

Mr. Tao...

Instigator!?

————————

Inside the Peach Blossom Forest.

The newly rotated peach blossom trees became a maze that left Gong Jiu and others dumbfounded.

Damn it, how do we get out now!

All three look at Sui Yi.

Sui Yi pursed her lips, saying: "Don’t look at me, I didn’t expect the other side still had this trick up their sleeve."

Although suspicious of Mr. Tao, because this Peach Blossom Barrier had been exposed before, according to people’s habitual thinking errors, it subconsciously causes them to forget the means already revealed.

Obviously, even the High Priest forgot this.

So...

"Yi Dao and those people are also trapped, unable to find the beehive location in a short time, so the people over there will be slaughtered completely, becoming nutrients for the Spirit Coffin, once the coffin can be opened, it might hunt Yi Dao and those who escaped, including us little fish that got away."

Sui Yi’s words made Su Zimu smile bitterly: "A very seamless timeline, perhaps once we are also killed, the plan within the Peach Blossom Barrier is complete, the conspirators from the villa can monopolize the treasure they want..."

"Not necessarily, Mo Hu from the Mo Family and top masters from the Jiang Family are not inside the Peach Blossom Barrier... so, there’s also a war on the villa side... Dual-line operation, only when both lines are successful, is it truly a successful plan."

Gong Jiu seemed puzzled, "I don’t quite understand, Ye Zui and Yue Beiqing stayed behind, clearly because each party still has a desire to fight over the Spirit Coffin, why not seize it right from the start? Why wait for the other side’s conspiracy to trigger... isn’t this making oneself more passive?"

Sui Yi looked towards the beehive direction, her gaze piercing: "Maybe it’s because they want to get the truly living Spirit Coffin..."

This soft-spoken remark made all three present feel a chill sweep through them.

It has to be said, Sui Yi’s words pointed out the cold ruthlessness that any great power possesses.

To achieve victory, countless bones must be left in its wake.

And clearly... Sui Yi, who has exchanged for a Witch Body, also possesses such a mentality.

For the sake of a grand scheme, the sacrifices right in front are inevitable.

Especially since these people are driven by their own greed and desire...

—— Previously when she was chatting with Gong Jiu and others, there was no soundproofing.

Such obvious hints being ignored, how can you change their fate?

It is destiny, created by their own actions.

"So, is Sect Master still going to continue Flower Picking?"

As Gong Jiu and the other three smiled at Sui Yi.

Sui Yi returned the smile.

"No, I’ve already determined that the thing they want... also happens to be useful to me, so it’s necessary to fight for it..."

Having said that, she turned her head, her pupils deep and bright, she saw the Magnetic Sensation streamlines she left along the way still hanging in the air, she could see a faint golden stream running through the forest, connecting to the beehive end.

But Gong Jiu and the others couldn’t see it.

No matter.

Sui Yi’s finger traced a circle in the air, then, the magnetic flow carried a certain suction, causing the peach blossom petals to dance and attach, forcibly forming a simple suspended peach blossom airflow, leading out a path.

A very clear and beautiful guiding path.

Sui Yi: ".Today... you may witness many, many unusual things..."

She tapped her foot, swiftly dashed up, turned around, facing Gong Jiu and others below, her black hair fluttering, robes rustling.

"When the time comes... don’t be afraid"

"If there’s danger, just call me"

Such a person, stunningly beautiful, ethereal as if celestial.

Such a smile, pure and good, calming.

How can we feel fear?

Gong Jiu and the three: O(∩_∩)O, following the omnipotent Sect Master is the only way to survive~~~
