Chapter 32: Secret Underground Cave

Of the three ways of breaking the restriction, Qi Bei didnt even need to think about it, the third way was definitely the best.

But what could he use to devour the entire Dark Soul Restriction?

However, he quickly realized something!

The answer was this mysterious black long sword. The emotions that were transmitted into his mind through the sword were filled with desire, excitement, and pleading. It was hard to imagine that a sword could have emotions similar to humans.

The black long sword slid out of his sleeve, almost dragging Qi Bei toward the invisible Dark Soul Restriction.

The moment the tip of the sword touched the Dark Soul Restriction, Qi Beis body trembled, and the invisible restriction instantly became tangible in his eyes.

The complex magic lines, the mysterious magic runes, and the thirty twisted soul faces were all vividly visible.

Suddenly, everything began to shrink infinitely, and the entire array was sucked into the black long sword. The courtyard that was revealed beyond was empty, as silent as a dead place.

Qi Bei arrived at the door of the Marquiss bedroom, still not sensing any movement. He gently pushed the door and it opened.

Only a pink magic lamp was left in the bedroom, and the Marquis was not inside.

Tsk tsk, so powerful and charming! Truly remarkable preferences, Qi Bei muttered to himself as he looked at the headgear, whip, and chains hanging on the pink bed frame.

Although the Marquis was not here, there definitely must be some secrets in this room. Otherwise, he would not have set up the Dark Soul Restriction to protect it.

Qi Bei began to carefully search for clues in the room. At this moment, his gaze fell on the bookshelf at the far end.

There was a piece of decorative jade embedded on the bookshelf, and its surface was smooth as if it had been touched frequently.

Qi Bei stepped forward and pressed his hand on the piece of jade, pushing it hard.

The huge bookshelf suddenly slid open, and Qi Beis eyes lit up, but then he became bewildered.

Inside the long dark cabinet embedded in the bookshelf, more than ten muscular men were lined up like puppets.

The black long sword in Qi Beis hand responded once again and a piece of information appeared in his mind.

Puppets made by refining the soul after extraction using puppet techniques. They are controlled by the refiner, turned into walking corpses, there is no way to kill them except for complete destruction.

Qi Bei stood in front of the white flame door and thought for a while, then decided to enter. Since he had come this far, there was no point in retreating. Besides, he had already forced his way in here, which was like stirring up the hornets nest.

Qi Beis internal energy surged, and he rushed in like lightning, holding his black long sword, ready to launch attacks.

As soon as he rushed in, Qi Bei was stunned. This was an underground secret room built with black crystal. On the innermost wall of the secret room, a skinny old man with a dirty face and white hair was locked up with a cold iron chain that pierced through his shoulder blades and wrists and ankles.

Who are you? Did that beast Kasef send you here? The old mans weak gaze swept over Qi Bei before he closed his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice.

Kasef? It seems to be the name of the Marquis of Lanling.

Qi Bei didnt answer the old mans question, but instead asked, And who are you? Why were you imprisoned by the Marquis of Lanling?

Tell that despicable beast who betrayed his teacher and ancestors that the thing he seeks has already been destroyed. Let him not waste his effort, the old man closed his eyes and didnt look at Qi Bei again.

From this sentence, Qi Bei deduced two meanings. This old man might be the master of the Marquis of Lanling, and the Marquis wanted something from him.

Im not one of the Marquis men, but his enemy. I just happened to stumble upon this place Qi Bei said.

The old man remained silent, only a sneer hanging on his lips. Obviously, he didnt believe Qi Bei at all.

Qi Bei was silent for a moment and then spoke again, Im from the Nord family.

Upon hearing this, the old man opened his eyes and looked at Qi Beis left hand. On the middle finger, he saw the family ring unique to the Nord familys direct descendants.

When you came in, were there strings of skull heads hanging outside? The eye sockets of those skulls emit a green light, the old man asked.

Right, Qi Bei nodded.

You should leave quickly. That evil guy is still healing, which is why you were able to come in so easily. But once he wakes up, youll be dead for sure, the old man urged.

Someone else is guarding this place? Qi Bei was taken aback.

Kekeke since youre here, can you leave? This one just happens to lack soul and blood essence. At this moment, black smoke rose from the entrance to the secret room, and a thin, corpse-like old man appeared.

This old man had dark green pupils and held a black scepter with a small skull embedded on its top. He exuded a cold, deathly aura.

Qi Beis heart skipped a beat, and the hair on his body stood on end. Even breathing felt difficult as if he was an ant facing an elephant. If the other party wished, they could crush him in a matter of minutes.
