Chapter 155: The Great Change In the Secret Realm, the Arrival of the Crisis
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The originally clear sky was suddenly filled with dark winds and roars. Boundless darkness surged as if a giant beast had devoured all the light. It was like a scene of doomsday and natural disaster, making people feel inexplicably uneasy.
The other sects in the secret realm also noticed the change in the weather.
“What’s going on? I’ve been in the secret realm for so long, but I’ve never seen such weather. It looks a little ominous as if something bad is about to happen.”
“I don’t know if you guys noticed, but it feels like there have been a lot fewer people around recently. A few days ago, when I met the group from the Sunset Sect, they said that almost half of their disciples were missing. They were nowhere to be found, they weren’t even sure if they were alive or dead.”
“I wonder how the other sects are doing.”
Because the sects participating in the competition were all competitors, they didn’t exchange much information with each other. If they had a good relationship, they would occasionally keep in touch.
Most of them didn’t know what had happened in the secret realm. Even if some of the disciples sent out by the team went missing, they thought that they had been killed and were in danger, so they didn’t feel anything unusual.
Most of the people were still searching for treasures in the secret realm, but they did not know that a huge danger was quietly approaching.
…
Everyone was shocked to see Bai Haoyu resurrect. What had he gone through in such a short time? Why did he become like those monsters from before?
Only then did Ye Xuan realize that he thought about this too simply.
The mastermind behind the scenes actually had such an amazing ability to transform people into undying monsters!
Very quickly, the black fog in the sky was also very close. Countless black fog descended and transformed into human figures. They were actually the other people from the Misty Illusory Manor. Other than them, there were also many unfamiliar faces.
The black Qi had also entered their bodies and eroded their minds. Not only did their cultivation improve, but they were also like the monsters from before, undying and indestructible. They were in a state where they could not be killed.
“These should be some of the people who went missing in the secret realm. It seems that they all ran to the pit.”
There were so many of them that it was even longer than the number of monsters from before. Not to mention that their combat strength was so high, and they could not be killed. If they continued to deal with these monsters, they would not gain any advantage at all.
Ye Xuan and Shen Changling looked at each other.
The huge sword in the air contained a huge amount of spiritual power. It suddenly hacked to the side and opened up a path.
“Let’s go!”
Ye Xuan and the others from the Sword Sect were running for their lives, but Bai Haoyu would not let them go. In a flash, he caught up with them.
“You won’t be able to escape!”
Bai Haoyu’s sinister voice resounded in the air, casting a shadow over everyone’s hearts.
The black fog in the underground palace was still releasing black Qi. He ordered, “Go and bring that man back!”
Ye Xuan had never thought that the black fog could read people’s memories. When the people from the Misty Illusory Manor landed in the underground palace, that man quickly saw the scene in Bai Haoyu’s memories of Ye Xuan passing the stone to Bai Haoyu to avoid the corroded Penglai Immortal Beasts’ attacks.
That man could tell at first glance that the stone they were talking about was the Penglai Immortal Stone.
Only the Penglai Immortal Stone could make the Penglai Immortal Beasts, who were being offered as sacrifices, go on a rampage. It was a pity that his meticulous plan for thousands of years had all gone down the drain because of such a small accident!
Although he didn’t know if Ye Xuan was the one who destroyed his thousand-year plan, Ye Xuan was definitely related to this matter!
Ye Xuan and the people from the Tai Qing Sect were exhausted. They finally found an array in the secret realm and hid inside, barely avoiding Bai Haoyu and the others who were searching for them.
“Misfortunes truly never come alone. I didn’t expect them to turn into those monsters. I’m afraid there are quite a few of them. What should we do now?”
Shen Changling took out the jade sword plaque again. He said, “I’ll contact my master now and tell him about our situation.”
However, no matter how hard he tried, there was no reaction from the jade sword plaque. The cracks on it were getting bigger and bigger.
Ye Xuan said, “Forget it, don’t waste your energy. We can’t contact the outside world now.”
If he didn’t guess wrong, it should be the doing of that black fog.
Ye Xuan had ruined that man’s big plan, so how could he let Ye Xuan go so easily? Since he had set up this plan a thousand years ago, even the Penglai Immortal Beasts had been used without knowing about his intentions.
The fact that he was still alive showed just how powerful he was. That was evident from the way Bai Haoyu and the others had been reduced to monstrous forms.
Shen Changling was dumbfounded. He muttered, “How could this be?”
Ye Xuan looked at the sky above him, which looked like the end of the world, and his expression was a little solemn.
“Now, we can only hope that the people outside will notice that something is wrong in here as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
He thought of the people who had besieged them just now. To be more precise, they were ‘monsters’. These people’s minds had been eroded by the black Qi and turned into puppets.
“To think that there really are undying monsters in this world. What’s the origin of that black Qi? It can actually transform people after entering their bodies.”
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Shen Changling wouldn’t have believed that such a heaven-defying thing could happen.
No matter how hard the people of the Sword Sect racked their brains, they could not figure out that this ball of black Qi had come from a thousand years ago.
Shen Changling looked at Ye Xuan and saw that he was deep in thought. Coupled with what had happened earlier and Bai Haoyu’s plan, he felt that this matter had something to do with the Tai Qing Sect.
“You seem to have already dealt with that ball of black Qi,” he probed.
At this point, Ye Xuan couldn’t hide it anymore, so he replied, “That mass of black Qi is very likely to be a thousand-year-old creature…”
His words were ambiguous. He omitted the Penglai Immortal Beasts and things related to Penglai Immortal Island. He only said that they accidentally entered the underground palace and discovered the existence and origin of this black Qi.
The people of the Sword Sect could not help but gasp when they heard this. They said in unison, “A thousand years old!”
No wonder it had such a strange and powerful force. It seemed to make sense that it was so old.
