Chapter 167 - It's You Again

Chapter 167: It’s You Again

Ye Xuan and the others were still walking through the underground palace. As the surrounding temperature dropped, the bad feeling in Ye Xuan’s heart grew heavier. However, they were traveling as a big group. It was impossible to speed up with so many people around.

Boom, boom, boom.

As the ground trembled, countless rocks fell. Everyone had to be careful and avoid getting hit by stray falling rocks. “What’s happening? Is the underground palace going to collapse?”

Ye Xuan said in a foreboding tone, “I’m afraid we’ve been discovered.”

Just then, as if having sensed something, Ye Xuan exclaimed with urgency, “Be careful, everyone!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xuan retreated with great force. A ray of black light shone from the sky, and the ground instantaneously split open, revealing a deep ravine. It was like an impassable natural moat that separated everyone.

Ye Xuan stood alone on the side, in sharp contrast to the others. He was obviously the target.

In an instant, a cold wind blew, and the sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling sounded. It was as if tens of millions of malicious ghosts were lingering there, causing everyone to shiver.

An unprecedented amount of black Qi swirled over, and even the ground was covered with a layer of faint black crystals. It was extremely ominous. Then, a deep voice came from inside.

“I was wondering who would have such courage. So, it’s you again.”

Almost everyone was enveloped by a powerful dark aura. Their knees went soft and they subconsciously wanted to kneel on the ground. The fear that appeared in the depths of their souls made them reveal an extremely terrified expression.

The only one who was still calm was probably Ye Xuan.

The people from the Sword Sect were even more nervous. Shen Changling’s forehead was covered in sweat, and he looked at Ye Xuan with worry.

The black mist believed that no one in the secret realm could deal with his powers, so he released his origin without worry. Who would have thought that he would fail time and again because of the same person?

First, it was the Penglai Immortal Beasts, and now it was a group of people.

He had carefully set up the underground palace, pretending that there was a secret treasure there. Countless people had fallen into the trap and become the black mist’s hosts and nutrients.

But now, all of them had awakened, and the black mist around them had completely dissipated. He was confident in his own strength. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that such a thing could happen in this world.

He also didn’t believe that a mere human rank cultivator could break his trap.

The black mist’s voice carried a hint of surprise. “How did you do it?”

Not only was the black mist surprised, but even Ye Xuan was also surprised.

The Penglai Immortal Beasts had once said that a thousand years ago, it was a man who had appeared in front of them. Now, what was in front of them was just a cloud of mist, without even a form.

Ye Xuan sent a secret voice message to Shen Changling. “You guys leave first. Its target is me.”

Shen Changling knew that it was useless even if so many people stayed. Not to mention, many of them had just gotten rid of the black Qi and did not have much combat power at all. Even if they stayed, they would only be a burden.

Shen Changling wanted to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, he nodded at Ye Xuan. “Be careful.”

Shen Changling led the rest of the people to retreat. As expected, the black mist didn’t even spare him a glance. Clearly, all its attention was on Ye Xuan.

After all, it was useless even if the black mist caught them all. It was better to get rid of Ye Xuan and deal with those people later.
