Chapter 257: Chapter 257 The Hell Yaksha
Ye Liuyun carefully observed the situation in the hall.
After they entered the hall, the lid of the coffin automatically opened with a bang, falling to the side. All of a sudden, a ghost came out from inside the coffin before gradually condensing itself into the form of a Hell Yaksha. It was 50 feet tall with a green-coloured face and long fangs, holding a soul-reaper rope in its hand.
The Saints immediately launched their Divine Soul attacks toward the Yaksha.
Getting attacked, the Yaksha roared, "How dare you attack a Infernal Realm Guard, strangers!"
However, his injuries weren’t that serious. He then shook the Soul-reaper RopeSoul-reaper Rope in his hand, carefully wrapping it around an elder’s Divine Soul. With a pull of its hand, he dragged out the Elder’s Divine Soul.
When the others saw this, they immediately ran into the depths of the underground palace without any hesitations.
Only now did Ye Liuyun notice that the passage in front of them was sealed. It was only when the Yaksha trapped a person’s Divine Soul that the passage opens.
Several Saints disappeared in an instant. Ye Liuyun looked at the Yaksha once more and it had devoured that Elder’s Divine Soul. After that, the Yaksha proceeded to chase those people.
When the Yaksha exited the hall, it immediately let out a painful roar. With his Golden Phantom Eyes, Ye Liuyun noticed that the walls on both sides were quickly devouring it, and soon swallowed it up.
The speed at which it devoured was much faster than when Ye Liuyun’s speed at devouring Divine Souls. After that, everything returned to normal.
The Saints in the front also stopped. One of the Elders of the Sun Academy roared angrily, "What the h*ll is this place? We can’t retreat or fight back! Are we destined to die here?"
"Let’s go! After going through four more halls, we’ll know the answer. There’s no point in complaining here!" Mr. Jin’s subordinate consoled him.
"Hmph! It doesn’t hurt to stand and talk. Every time that Yaksha catches someone, it would be someone with the weakest Divine Soul. So, I’m guessing that its next target will be me! There’s no way I’m going to send myself to my death. I would rather sit here and die!" The elder who spoke just sat down, as if he was going to make a scene.
"You said that after going through this 4 more times, we’ll arrive at the underground palace’s treasury, right?" The Water Moon Sect’s elder asked Mr. Jin’s subordinate.
"That’s absolutely right! It’s in the records of the Jin Family’s ancestors, so there shouldn’t be any mistakes." That elder replied with certainty.
"Who knows? You might be lying!" The elder shouted.
"But other than continuing this journey, we have no other choice, right?" Mr. Jin’s subordinate said.
Through the Golden Phantom Eyes, Ye Liuyun found that person to be fearless. He probably knew something and made preparations in advance.
While they were arguing, the two elders from the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly launched an attack, striking another elder from the Sun Academy beside them. Mr. Jin’s subordinate also attacked the elder from the Sun Academy who was sitting down, severely injuring the two of them in an instant.
Then, they launched a Divine Soul attack to severely damage their Divine Souls before stopping.
The two elders from the Sun Academy had expressions filled with grief and indignation, but there was nothing they could do.
The elder of the Water Moon Sect also looked at this situation in shock, not knowing what to say. What she was worried about now was herself.
Their Interspatial rings were also taken away. Then, they were picked up as they walked to the next hall.
The three of them could tell that the Elder from the Water Moon Sect was worried. Mr. Jin’s subordinate said to her, "With the two of them injured, there’s no need for the four of us to make a move anymore. We’ll just need to see who’s the unlucky one!"
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun quickly followed their steps and relayed all the information he had seen to Lei Ming.
"The Hell Yaksha?" Hearing this, Lei Ming adjusted her neck in discomfort. Clearly, she was extremely afraid of that sort of thing.
"With them leading the way, we have nothing to be afraid of!" Ye Liuyun stroked Lei Ming’s head and comforted her.
But in his heart, he vaguely felt that the end of the underground palace was probably not that easy. There might be some monsters waiting for them there!
Therefore, he kept a close distance from the people in front of him, so that he would not to be discovered by them but not too far away, so that he could keep an eye on them at any time.
The saints in front of him passed through the next two halls very smoothly. The two injured Saints’ Divine Souls were immediately ensnared by the Yaksha’s Soul-reaper RopeSoul-reaper Rope.
Then, like the last time, the Yaksha was absorbed by the wall, and those people continued to go deeper.
Ye Liuyun took the time to look at the wall, but he didn’t find anything. He couldn’t figure out how the wall sucked the Yaksha away and where it went!
He tried to attack the wall, but there was no effect. Even with the Demon Slayer blade, he couldn’t cut down the wall. The wall was protected by a formation, and its power was particularly strong.
Ye Liuyun initially wanted to use the Skeleton Golem to break the wall, but in the end, he held himself back.
"We’ll be in trouble if we trigger any more dangerous formations, so I’d better follow them for now!"
When the people in front passed by the next hall, they sacrifice a saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Before entering the final hall, the elder from the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly attacked the female elder from the Water Moon Sect. Unexpectedly, the female elder attacked him at the same time.
Mr. Jin’s subordinate was not idle either, helping the elder from the Water Moon Sect damage the Divine Soul of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Elder.
The elder from the Great Zhou Dynasty lamented: "Sigh, it seems that my bid is still too low."
Mr. Jin’s subordinate laughed, "Haha! What value does an old geezer like you have?" As he spoke, his hands reached into the Water Moon Sect’s elder’s clothes, feeling around .
Fortunately, the two of them were not in the mood to be intimate. In a short while, they carried the injured elder and passed through the last hall.
Ye Liuyun followed behind, watching the scene unfold. He couldn’t help but sigh.
"Tsk tsk! These people shouldn’t be allowed to cultivate. All of them have lost their humanities!"
However, he still quickened his pace and followed them.
According to what they said, they should arrive at the very depths of the underground palace soon. He didn’t want to be left too far behind, so he wouldn’t lose track of them. That subordinate of Mr. Jin seemed to know something!
Sure enough, the passage in front had reached its end, revealing a palace-like building.
There were five huge rooms in the palace, all of which were closed.
The elder of the Water Moon Palace asked, "Is this the treasure you mentioned?"
"Haha! Of course! There are different treasures behind each door. We’re gonna be rich!" That elder excitedly pulled her as they walked quickly to those rooms.
Ye Liuyun carefully observed the situation, noticing that the elder’s mouth had a hint of an imperceptible smirk.
"I’d better not get too excited. I’ll wait a little longer!" Ye Liuyun thought cautiously.
Therefore, he did not walk out of the passage at all. Instead, he stood at the end of the passage as he observed them with Golden Phantom Eyes. There were very few obstacles here. Although the underground palace was dark, it did not hinder the Golden Phantom Eyes’ vision.
"There are five doors here, each containing five different kinds of treasures. There are medical pills, weapons, artifacts, and all kinds of treasures that can improve one’s strength. The one in the innermost room contains the most valuable treasures in the entire Mysterious Secret Realm." The elder introduced to the female Water Moon Sect Elder excitedly as he walked. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"What’s the most valuable treasure?" The female elder asked hurriedly.
"I don’t know that yet. No one has opened that door before. But we can open that door now!"
The elder said with a hint of excitement.
