Chapter 389: Immortal Emperor Realm Expert

Outside of the golden hall, Dongfang Shang and the rest looked at Ye Xiao with doubt: "What happened to Ye Xiao?"

"I don't know, but I have a bad premonition. Everyone, hurry up and leave this place." Ye Xiao said with a frown and a very urgent tone. Dongfang Shang nodded, then called over the City Lord's Mansion's Guards and rushed towards the passage.

A young man from the Feng Family at the side wanted to speak, but at this moment, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly exploded out from the hall.

"This is... the aura of a Martial Emperor Realm expert?"

The young man's face turned pale and his legs went soft. He almost collapsed to the ground.

"Quick, flee."

Ye Xiao's expression changed drastically and he shouted loudly. He was also not confident that he could put up a fight against an expert at the Immortal Emperor Realm.

This time, he didn't need to shout. Everyone used all their strength to run.

"Roar!"

The roar of the day came from the main hall and all the spirit energy in the entire plaza formed into a whirlwind, converging towards the golden hall.

In front of them, the dried bones were covered in blood. A scarlet light flashed through the empty pupils of the skeleton and a tyrannical aura emitted from its body. The skeleton slowly raised its arm and space trembled as strands of the spirit energy separated from the space merged into its body. In an instant, a terrifying pressure filled the entire hall.

"Ah!

As the bloody glow appeared, the skeleton slowly raised its head and a heaven-shaking roar thundered out from its mouth!

The terrifying roar turned into a substance-like sound wave in an instant. It was like a storm as it swept over the entire large hall.

"Bang!"

The dozens of martial artists that were closest to the skeleton had no way to resist against this terrifying force. With a 'peng' sound, they exploded, turning into a mist of blood that spread outwards.

"Flee."

Everyone's faces turned pale as they ran for their lives towards the golden hall's gate. Now they really regretted it a little. They should have left before.

"What is going on? Is that skeleton still alive?" In the passageway, the group of people madly fleeing had incomparably pale faces. One of them asked with fear written all over his face.

"It's not that he didn't die, but that he came back to life." Ye Xiao took a deep breath and said.

"Come back to life?" Everyone's faces were ugly to behold. This was not good news for them.

"What?"

Everyone was shocked. That Immortal Emperor Realm martial artist had clearly already fallen over a thousand years ago. How could he still be revived? However, Ye Xiao had entered the golden hall first, so he might have discovered something.

"Boom!"

Just as everyone was talking, an even more terrifying power burst out from behind them. Soon after, everyone saw a gigantic palm descend from the skies, enveloping all of the golden hall within. Following that, the gigantic palm descended from the sky, smashing down heavily towards the golden hall.

"Boom!"

In the midst of everyone's shocked gaze, that enormous palm descended and the golden hall instantly collapsed as well.

"Fortunately, we came out quickly."

The group of people said with lingering fear. If it was not for Ye Xiao's reminder, they probably would have already been killed by that gigantic palm.

As for the people inside the golden hall, they did not have the time to care about those people anymore.

"Swish!"

Just as they were about to increase their speed, a dozen or so piercing sounds came from the air. These people were the Four Great Families' Mo Yu, Long Zhan, Tang Qianer, and Qin Wu, and Yi Xian. Behind them were a few other martial artists.

However, they appeared to be in a much more miserable state. Their bodies were covered in heavy wounds and their faces were pale. There was even some blood at the corner of their mouths. They had clearly been swept away by the aftermath of the attack earlier.

They rushed over quickly and did not have the time to greet Ye Xiao and the others. They used all their strength to rush into the tunnel.

"We will also increase our speed as well." Seeing these people rushing over, Feng Shang said.

"Swish! Swish!"

Everyone turned into streaks of light as they flew away.

"Roar!"

Behind them, the blood-red skeleton leapt out from the ruins and roared towards the sky. Its cold and indifferent eyes scanned the surroundings and a frightening amount of Spirit Energy gathered in its palm as it descended down towards the plaza.

BOOM!

The ground shattered under the attacks of the dried-up bones. The plaza instantly shattered. an Immortal Emperor Realm martial artist's attack had truly changed the colour of the world.

"Intruder, die!"

The blood-coloured skeleton paused on the shattered open ground. It slowly raised its head and a bloody glow flashed within its empty eyes. An ancient and hoarse indifferent voice softly sounded on the open ground.

That voice seemed to carry a magical power as it instantly spread throughout the entire relic. No matter who it was, they could feel a strong killing intent. The thick killing intent caused them to feel as if they had fallen into an icehouse, and their entire bodies turned cold.

As the skeleton's ice-cold figure descended, the skeleton slightly flicked its finger. A beam of light containing violent Spirit Energy shot out from its finger and charged into a passageway.

"Boom!"

Terrifying Spiritual Energy erupted out and instantly turned the passageway into ruins. As for the people within, they were all turned into ashes under the terrifying attack of the skeleton.

"Mr. Dongfang, do you know what is going on? Why did this skeleton suddenly recover?" Feng Shang asked Dongfang Shang. He knew that Dongfang Shang was a very knowledgeable person and knew many things that other people don't know.

This matter was too shocking. An expert who was dead for who knows how many thousands of years actually revived? How was this even possible?

"Ye Xiao, did you encounter something in the hall earlier?" Dongfang Shang didn't reply to Feng Shang. Instead, he looked at Ye Xiao with a serious expression and asked.

Ye Xiao took a deep breath and then told Dongfang Shang everything that happened when he entered the golden hall. However, he placed the blame for killing the demon on Miss Yi.

"Phew…"

Dongfang Shang let out a long sigh and said, "If I am not wrong, the one who revived was not the expert at who was at the Immortal Emperor Realm. It must be his will that was left behind by him. Something must have acted like a trigger that revived his will and caused the skeleton to temporarily come back to life"

"Will?"

"Right, it is the will. However, that will was not there to protect the remains. It must be there to seal that demon. However, after thousands of years, that will was also affected by the Demonic Qi on the Demon's body, causing it to become cruel and tyrannical, resulted in it to attack and take lives of men the moment it took action."

"After the Demon was separated from the skeleton, there was nothing left for the Will of the ruin's owner to seal. After that, something must have acted as the trigger to cause the demonic nature in the Will that was affected by the Demon to stir up." Dongfang Shang said with a serious expression.

"Hiss…" The crowd drew in a breath of cold air. Although it was just a theory, they could still sense the terror that awakened in their heart.

Ye Xiao that the blood that touched the skeleton must be the one that acted as the trigger to cause the Will of the Immortal Emperor Realm expert to awaken.

A series of rumbling sounds could be heard from within the tunnel. Along with the rumbling sounds, the entire tunnel began to shake violently. Every time there was a loud rumble, their hearts would tremble. They naturally knew that this was the skeleton cleaning up the ruins, cleaning up everyone that entered. They were really afraid that they would be the next to be cleared out.

After rushing with all his strength for an hour, a bright light finally appeared in front of him. That was the exit of the ruin and everyone's faces revealed the joy of surviving a disaster.

BOOM!

However, right at this moment, a terrifying energy suddenly exploded in the passageway. Wherever this energy passed, everything turned into nothingness. Panic was written all over their faces as they desperately rushed towards the exit.

"Boom!"

The beam of light that shot into the sky erupted with a terrifying might. Even the clouds in the sky seemed to have scattered.

The dozen or so Immortal King Realm experts guarding the outside could not help but have their expressions change when they felt that terrifying might: "Expert at the immortal Emperor Realm."

They felt that their souls were trembling. This was the aura of an expert at the Immortal Emperor Realm. They nervously looked towards the entrance of the ruins, where smoke and dust permeated the air, and could not see what was going on inside.
