CHAPTER 954: CHAPTER 948: NIGHT PATROL GHOST KING

The two of them crossed the dark forest and arrived at a strange region after two days. This place was filled with jagged strange rocks, and from the crevices of those rocks, ghostly energy like black smoke was emanating, resembling wolf smoke.

The eerie and sinister energy that filled the space was becoming more and more intense.

"The yin energy here is at least five times thicker than the previous place. I’m afraid we’ve reached the Second Heaven of the Netherworld Ghost Cave."

Ye Xuan extended his palm, and those yin energies immediately gathered, as if they hadn’t felt the presence of life for a long time, making cheering noises as they surged towards Ye Xuan’s palm, emitting a "chi-chi" sound, trying to devour Ye Xuan’s flesh.

However, in just an instant, a layer of faint golden light surged from Ye Xuan’s palm, completely erasing those yin energies.

"The Netherworld Energy here is almost sentient."

Ling Qianxue observed this scene, and couldn’t help but express her surprise.

"If the Second Heaven is already like this, I wonder what the Third Heaven will be like." Ye Xuan’s expression was also solemn. The next moment, his face suddenly changed, "Something’s there." Saying that, he swiftly leaped into a rocky area below, hiding away.

Without needing Ye Xuan to say more, Ling Qianxue also cooperatively moved her figure, landing down as well.

The two cautiously concealed themselves, while Ye Xuan’s gaze had already landed on a huge cave not far away, as time went by, the ground seemed to have a slight tremor.

At the cave entrance below, two giant eerie lights were approaching. Wherever the light shone, the yin energies dispersed rapidly, the size was approximately several zhang. Upon closer inspection with soul power, a jolt went through their hearts, these were not lights at all, but a pair of eyes. The most bizarre thing was that only the eyes could be seen, while the owner of these eyes remained invisible, shrouded in a shadow, seemingly naturally protected by the surrounding Netherworld Energy.

"It’s a ghost creature." Ling Qianxue opened her cherry-like mouth wide.

"And not just any ghost creature, it’s the Night Patrol Ghost King."

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes.

"What is the Night Patrol Ghost King?"

Ling Qianxue was a bit stunned.

"It’s one among the many Netherworld ghost creatures, the Night Patrol Ghost King is a fierce ghost entity formed by countless ghost souls, even the weakest Night Patrol Ghost King is not inferior to a human Extreme Martial Saint, not something easily dealt with." Ye Xuan explained.

The underworld is filled with ghost creatures, such as Yellow Spring Ghosts, Yama Ghosts, Wuchang Ghosts, and so on. Of course, these are just ghost creatures, there are also Netherworld Race members in the underworld, which you might find in this Netherworld Ghost Cave too, nothing surprising.

"That powerful?"

Ling Qianxue became cautious, the weakest Night Patrol Ghost King was equivalent to an Extreme Martial Saint, and the one before them might not be the weakest, it might even match a Sealing Emperor Strong Person, so it’s best not to disturb it rashly.

However, as Ye Xuan and Ling Qianxue carefully hid themselves, the Night Patrol Ghost King seemed not to notice them, and its lantern-like eyes continued scanning forward.

"Wherever the Night Patrol Ghost King is, there must be treasures nearby."

Watching the Night Patrol Ghost King’s gradually receding figure, Ye Xuan’s gaze returned to the cave, his eyes gradually showing a gleam.

"What are we waiting for then?"

Ling Qianxue rubbed her fists eagerly, looking a bit like Ye Xuan after spending so much time with him, seemingly with no immunity against treasures.

The two of them avoided the Night Patrol Ghost King and entered the cave.

The cave was extremely dark, one couldn’t see their own hands, and the Netherworld Energy here was as substantial as reality, entwining around Ye Xuan and Ling Qianxue, emitting a "chi-chi" sound.

After traveling through such a sinister environment for about an hour, they finally saw light appearing ahead, and in front, it turned out to be a wide space, with clusters of green flames burning on the walls on both sides, emitting eerie light.

Upon moving closer, what lay ahead was clearly visible, there was a black ancient palace door, and above that door, three words were engraved: "Netherworld Hall."

"Netherworld Hall? No wonder the Night Patrol Ghost King was around." Ye Xuan, upon seeing the three words above, was visibly delighted.

"What’s the Netherworld Hall?"

Ling Qianxue asked.

"Netherworld Hall is the holy ground of the Netherworld Clan’s faith; wherever there’s a gathering place for the Netherworld Clan, there exists a Netherworld Hall. There must be treasures in this Netherworld Hall." Ye Xuan said with fiery eyes.

"Then we’re quite lucky." Ling Qianxue’s beautiful eyes lit up.

Ye Xuan nodded noncommittally, then activated the Heavenly Eye at his brow, scanning before the gate of the Netherworld Hall.

This gate seemed quiet, but Ye Xuan’s meticulous observation quickly uncovered a prohibition, and his gaze also fell on the two monster statues outside the gate, the power of the prohibition was released by these two monster statues.

"There’s indeed a prohibition."

Ye Xuan’s eyes squinted again, then he took Ling Qianxue’s delicate hand and cautiously moved forward.

Although the prohibition was tricky, as long as they avoided its primary area of effect, with Ye Xuan’s ability, they could easily bypass it.

At this time, on the other side of the cave.

"This is actually the Netherworld Hall, we’re in luck."

A silver-haired man showed an expression of surprise, extremely excited.

"It’s fortunate the Ghost Emperor’s searching Secret Technique found it, otherwise we might have never found this place." The silver-haired man, none other than Emperor Bao Yuan from the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace outside, glanced somewhat fawningly at the black-robed man beside him, who appeared as a Sealing Emperor Strong Person too.

The black-robed man’s eyes were sunken, his face pale, resembling a ghost frighteningly.

"Stop talking nonsense, there are many Netherworld ghost creatures here, if I found this place, others might too. Quickly find the treasure." The black-robed man said coldly without changing his expression.

"The Ghost Emperor is right, let’s go." Emperor Bao Yuan put away his smile, then waved to the strong people of the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace, preparing to enter the Netherworld Hall.

But as soon as they stepped into the gate area, they triggered the prohibition, a dark cloud-like ghost suddenly appeared above, as if there were countless evil spirits gnawing at everyone’s soul.

Ah!

Miserable screams echoed as the strong people of the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace fell prey, having their souls forcibly pulled out by the evil ghost shadow and then devoured by the numerous evil ghost shadows present.

"It’s an Evil Spirit Array, damn it!"

The Ghost Emperor’s face sank as well. He clearly hadn’t expected an Evil Spirit Array prohibition to exist here, undoubtably a very troublesome matter.
