Chapter 2185: Chapter 2185: Such a Strange Door!
"No way!" Ye Haochuan said firmly, "Liu Xianglan’s life or death is uncertain, how can I leave her alone?"
After speaking, he looked at the sleeping Ye Yishu again, with a hint of tenderness and hesitation in his eyes.
After a moment, he spoke again, "You take Yishu and leave first, I can’t take you on an adventure. If anything happens to me, help me raise the child!"
"No way, we leave together!" Xu Linglan rejected decisively.
"You don’t even know Liu Xianglan, why risk for her? Besides, I can’t let my son accompany me to death!" Ye Haochuan said sincerely.
"Since you know it’s risky, why are you so stubborn?" Xu Linglan questioned.
"She may not be my woman, but she called me husband so many times. Now her life or death is uncertain, how can I leave with peace?"
Ye Haochuan sighed softly and said gently, "I beg you, don’t let my son take risks, let him live well, okay?"
"I..." Xu Linglan only felt tears in her eyes, and after a long time, she choked up, "I’ll wait for you outside the second gate. If you don’t come out in ten days, I’ll leave with him."
"Alright!" Ye Haochuan agreed with joy.
Pan Muxiang retreated, the soul beast wanted to follow.
But at this moment, Ye Haochuan’s Taichi Spirit Realm suddenly activated, trapping the demon beast inside, preventing it from moving.
"Mr. Ye, what are you doing..." The soul beast’s face changed urgently, quickly asking.
Ye Haochuan was also puzzled, shaking his head, "I don’t know, the Taichi Spirit Realm activated on its own."
As he spoke, the Taichi Spirit Realm shrank again, taking the soul beast back.
Ye Haochuan only felt the Tai Chi Diagram in his Sea of Consciousness tremble suddenly, then return to calm.
Ye Haochuan wanted to explore further, but no matter how he tried to communicate with the Tai Chi Diagram, it was indifferent.
"Forget it, I’ll find out what’s going on later when I have a chance!" Ye Haochuan didn’t want to waste time here, watching Xu Linglan leave before going through the gap in the gate.
Upon entering the third gate, the temperature suddenly dropped, even the breath seemed to turn into frost.
The Purple Lotus Spirit Flame around Ye Haochuan didn’t dissipate but changed from blocking the flames to warming Ye Haochuan.
Ye Haochuan frowned slightly, pondering while moving swiftly.
Along the way, the ice made the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame barely sustain, almost extinguished several times. He finally reached the fourth gate, finding it still had a corner cut by a sword.
"As expected!" Ye Haochuan murmured.
From the intensity of the ice, he already guessed the formation must be damaged, otherwise, it couldn’t be so weak.
After sensing the power of the one breaking the gate again, Ye Haochuan continued.
The fourth challenge was a swamp that suppressed spiritual energy, the fifth was a powerful illusion array, and the sixth had poisonous vines with spiritual sense, deadly upon contact...
However, none of these formations remained intact; all were broken by a sword, making Ye Haochuan’s obstacles surprisingly few.
Passing through the sixth gate, Ye Haochuan was incredibly shocked by the strength of that expert. Among the people he knew, only Liu Bai, Shentu Fu, and Tian Dang could match this expert.
But what kind of Magical Treasure attracted such an expert to this Underground Palace?
"Didn’t the soul beast say there’s only a coffin inside? Why is it so enticing?" Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but doubt.
Moreover, with that expert’s strength, he should have passed all obstacles, just like the soul beast said. But why didn’t he leave?
Unfortunately, the soul beast was absorbed by the Tai Chi Diagram and couldn’t answer.
Carrying this doubt, Ye Haochuan continued on.
The seventh challenge had no obstacles unexpectedly.
"The formation has lost all its power, it must be completely broken by now?"
Ye Haochuan walked, musing.
When he approached the gate, he found a dried corpse leaning against it, appearing long dead.
Yet, Ye Haochuan could feel a chilling aura from the corpse, making him wary.
Next to the corpse was a seven-foot-long green jade sword. By its material, it seemed made of jadeite, with countless patterns faintly visible, indicating its extraordinariness.
Jadeite is fragile, making a sword from it amazed Ye Haochuan.
All evidence indicated this corpse belonged to the one who broke the four gate challenges.
Ye Haochuan clearly hadn’t expected such a powerful figure to fall at this final challenge.
"What’s the test in this final hurdle that even made him perish?" Ye Haochuan was deeply shocked and curiously examined the last gate.
This gate was entirely black, looking like an abyss, seemingly able to swallow human souls, mysterious and terrifying, igniting endless fear in the heart.
Ye Haochuan’s heart raced as he quickly looked away, panting heavily, realizing his forehead was drenched in cold sweat.
"What a strange gate!" Ye Haochuan exclaimed, no longer daring to look at it.
But at this moment, the corpse beneath the gate suddenly raised its head, staring at Ye Haochuan with hollow eyes.
"Oh my, is it resurrected?" freeweɓnovel.cøm
Ye Haochuan felt his scalp tingle, instinctively stepping back two steps, becoming vigilant.
Crack~
The corpse suddenly grabbed the jade sword, standing up with effort, slowly moving towards Ye Haochuan.
The jade sword’s tip slid on the ground without making a sound, but upon closer inspection, it had severed the stone slabs completely.
Ye Haochuan didn’t know how much combat strength the corpse retained after dying, cautiously activating the Taichi Spirit Realm silently.
At the instant the Taichi Spirit Realm activated, the corpse seemed stimulated, its previously slow steps turning into a swift pace.
"So fast!"
Ye Haochuan’s vision blurred, the corpse’s position flashed before reaching Ye Haochuan. Without the Taichi Spirit Realm’s timely feedback, Ye Haochuan might not have reacted.
Alarmed, Ye Haochuan quickly blocked with the Halberd of Heaven and Earth while opening the Heavenly Eye to see everything clearly.
With the Heavenly Eye opened, Ye Haochuan finally caught the corpse’s silhouette.
Ye Haochuan saw the corpse halt its mighty sword chop upon encountering his halberd, wondering, then felt a sudden kick in the abdomen, his body like a meteor crashing into the stone wall.
Ye Haochuan felt a splitting pain in his waist, his legs numb.
