Chapter 150: The Appearance of the Mastermind

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Boundless black fog surged out of the underground palace, carrying a wave of indescribable anger, destroying the surrounding scenery.

No matter who it was, if they found out that their thousand-year-old plan had been destroyed, they would not be able to calm down.

The evil power quickly corroded every corner. When the rock wall touched the black Qi, it instantly turned into dust. All the surrounding scenery seemed to be swallowed by some unknown power and disappeared into the void.

The black fog was venting his anger.

Soon, the underground palace completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared in this world. Only a large mass of black fog remained, and it was still expanding, full of ominous vibes.

“I will definitely find you and make you pay a painful price!”

The disappearance of the underground palace had caused the ground to collapse, and a deep pit had appeared. The Green Peak Sect, which was not far away, was attracted by the commotion.

“There seems to be something strange there. Let’s go and take a look.”

When they saw the scene clearly, they could feel the huge energy coming from the ground. They were extremely excited. Someone commented, “It seems like there’s something down there.”

“Don’t tell me some rare treasures are appearing…?”

Everyone looked at the deep pit. They couldn’t see the bottom at all. It seemed to be connected to the nine circles of hell. The cold wind whistled up, sending a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

It was pitch black inside the cave, and they couldn’t see clearly at all. The boundless darkness spread wantonly, and in a daze, there was a huge creature lurking in the dark, watching their every move.

Speckles of golden light fell out, exuding a powerful aura. They were like dusty pearls, but at this moment, they were extremely conspicuous in the darkness.

Everyone’s eyes suddenly lit up, and their voices were so excited that their tones changed.

“That’s the light of a treasure! It seems that the heavens are still on our Green Peak Sect’s side.”

A disciple felt that something was not right and could not help but say, “Senior Brother, why do I feel that this wind is a little strange? Why don’t we investigate it again? If we are too rash…”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted impatiently by another disciple.

“Why are you as timid as a mouse? If we dawdle any longer and this gets discovered by others, we won’t be able to get anything.”

The treasure’s light appearance was too strange as if it was deliberately luring something.

Previously, the Green Peak Sect had been robbed by Ye Xuan’s disguised identity and handed over all their magic weapons and treasures. At this moment, they were in a hurry to make up for their losses, so they had overlooked those strange things.

“But, I keep feeling that something’s not right…”

“You’re so naggy. If you’re so timid, you can stay up here and keep a lookout. If someone comes, quickly inform us.”

Without waiting for the disciple to dissuade them, everyone entered the deep pit. Their figures were quickly swallowed by the darkness. The huge beast opened its bloody mouth, waiting for them to jump in.

The deep pit was quiet, and there was no movement.

“Senior Brothers, have you guys arrived at the bottom yet?”

The disciple who stayed behind shouted at the people below, but he only heard his own voice echoing back.

There was a dead silence in the air, which made people feel inexplicably flustered. A gust of wind blew from somewhere, carrying a fishy smell. The disciple’s face turned pale and shouted a few more words.

But every time, there was only his own echo. In the end, even the echo of his voice became distorted. It didn’t sound like his own voice at all. It sounded like countless ghosts howling.

He finally noticed that something was wrong and wanted to leave, but a black Qi suddenly emerged from the bottom of the pit and wrapped him up.

“Ah!”

Only a shrill cry echoed in the surroundings, startling the birds in the trees and causing them to circle in the sky.

Soon, the area around the deep pit returned to its calm appearance.

Other than the messy footprints around, there were no other traces that indicated someone had been there before.

At the bottom of the pit, it was so dark that one could not even see their own fingers. A large cloud of black fog surrounded the silhouettes of people, who were the Green Peak Sect’s disciples who had come down earlier.

However, at this moment, their eyes were closed and their faces were pale. If not for the weak breathing in their chests, they would have looked no different from dead people.

Their bodies seemed to be breeding something, but it was unknown if it would still be them when it hatched.

The black fog burst into a peal of strange laughter.

“Since my army of undying demon beasts has disappeared, I’ll just use you guys to make up for the numbers. What a pity, the bodies of the Penglai Immortal Beasts were almost completely transformed by me…”

Golden light once again emerged from the deep pit, as if a rare treasure had been born, luring everyone to come and explore.

Outside the secret realm, the grand elders who were sitting cross-legged seemed to have sensed something and opened their eyes at the same time.

The cold feeling was like a maggot in their bones, but it was fleeting, making them feel a faint sense of unease.

“Did something happen in the secret realm?”

Because this secret realm was special and could block all magic weapons and spells, they didn’t know what was going on inside.

However, from the looks of the life plaques of the disciples, they were all fine and had not encountered any danger.

“It seems like we were overly worried.”

“Looking at the situation in the secret realm, the secret realm should be able to last for another ten days to half a month. We are not in a hurry to summon them back. This trip to the secret realm is also a form of training for them.”

These people still didn’t know about the great changes in the secret realm and thought that their disciples were safe and sound. At the same time, Ye Xuan had no idea what had happened behind him.

Ye Xuan and the people of the Tai Qing Sect left the range of the underground palace as fast as they could. The previous scenery was left behind by them until it completely turned into a small black dot and disappeared from their field of vision.

“We’ve walked so far, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

After experiencing so much, everyone was a little tired and decided to rest here for the time being. Someone asked, “Elder Ye, what should we do next?”
