Chapter 301 The Burial Pit Secret Realm Takes the First Step
Zhuo Wenshi ignored all of that and extended a slender finger, saying, "I'll give you one more incense stick's time... no, half an incense stick's time. If you can't open it, you can leave."
gurgle—
The middle-aged-looking array master swallowed hard; under the pressure of life and death, his efficiency soared.
It only takes less than a third of the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
On one side of the valley in front of everyone, the air rippled, creating a geometric structure like a distorted mirror, with a water-like passage in the middle.
"It's open!"
"This guy seems to have been slacking off the whole time. Is he doing it on purpose?"
The array master's eyes darted around, and he quickly explained.
"That's utter slander! I said it would be very fast, you just didn't believe me."
Zhuo Wenshi raised her hand, stared at the man suspiciously for a few moments, and then spoke.
"Let's go in first. That good-for-nothing might send someone to compete with us for it. Be careful."
"Sister Shi, why are you worried about that good-for-nothing? Even Young Master Yun hasn't laid a hand on him, so why would he dare to make a move on his own?"
A member of the Zhuo family who knew the inside story spoke with an indifferent expression, and the others nodded in agreement.
"Brother Cang is right. If a fight really breaks out, it's that good-for-nothing who will suffer."
"Enough!"
Zhuo Wenshi didn't want to hear any more of the arguing. She stared intently at the array master, then kicked him inside.
The crowd filed in, and the entrance to the secret realm of the ancient burial pit closed.
Not long after.
Wang Yu revealed himself.
When he arrived, the group had not yet gone inside, but he did not take immediate action.
Firstly, since this is the outside world, he can't kill everyone at once, as that would expose him. It's better to let them in while he sets up a trap at the exit.
Re-enter the secret realm to slaughter.
Secondly, although the female cultivator Zhuo Wenshi seemed wary, she didn't actually have much of a sense of apprehension towards Zhuo Shouqing; it was just a matter of habit.
One can know the whole leopard from a single spot.
If all of Zhuo Shouyun's elite troops are like this, then it can only be said that Zhuo Shouqing's concealment tactics were very successful, at least in deceiving some people.
"Thirteen people, plus one array master."
The leader is in the late stage of Core Formation, three are in the middle stage of Core Formation, and the remaining nine are at the seventh to ninth level of Foundation Establishment. They must have come to seek an opportunity to form Core Formation.
According to information about the ancient burial pits, this place is a burial complex, which means they may have split up and gone to explore different tombs.
This made his movements easier.
After all, if everyone stayed together, he might not be able to defeat them. He regarded the Core Formation cultivators from the Zhuo family as opponents of equal strength.
Not to mention that Zhuo Wenshi is in the late stage of Core Formation.
After taking out the "key" and activating it with magic, he inserted it into the air, and the portal he had just seen opened again. Wang Yu then put on the Earth Demon Mask.
The magic power gathered on the Ghostly Cry Flute, and the Perfected Heart-Slaying Blade of Lamentation was ready to be unleashed.
"Buzz—"
It felt like walking inside a washing machine; a strong sense of dizziness overwhelmed Wang Yu, greatly blurring his sense of direction—another spatial technique.
This secret passage is far inferior to the tactile experience of using the Escape Talisman. If a Qi Refining cultivator were to step into it, they would probably vomit on the spot.
Once the spatial fluctuations subsided and his vision returned to normal from the constant spinning, Wang Yu immediately activated the Aurora Escape Technique to leave the spot.
"Someone's coming!"
At the entrance.
It was a flat expanse of black soil, with a thin gray mist of Yin Corpse Qi floating around it. The temperature was low, making it a suitable stage for Wang Yu to perform well.
The spot where he landed was surrounded by multiple small-scale confinement formations, and six cultivators remained to guard the area—five late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and one mid-stage Core Formation cultivator!
It seems his vigilance was justified.
Zhuo Wenshi deliberately didn't deploy any people outside, choosing instead to ambush them inside. If someone came, it would be a sign of foresight; if no one came, it wouldn't be a waste of effort, at least ensuring a safe escape route.
Damn it!
"How did you manage to keep watch over them? They managed to escape."
He started swearing.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators exchanged bewildered glances. How could they have imagined that someone would arrive so quickly? Could it really be Zhuo Shouqing's men? Had they gone mad?!
Besides, that speed vanished in a flash. Even you, a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, couldn't react in time, how could they possibly react?!
Only when being scorned.
They all lowered their heads, not daring to utter a word in response.
"You guys go in that direction to chase after them, I'll go and inform Sister Shi."
As he spoke, the mid-stage Core Formation cultivator was about to flee.
But some people sensed something was wrong and tentatively asked.
"Lord Zhuocang, you can just use the communication jade talisman to notify him. Why do you have to go in person?"
As Zhuo Cang turned around, anger rose in his heart.
"Fool, the fog here can block the effect of the sound transmission jade talisman."
"That's not what I meant, Lord Zhuocang. How could I trouble you with such a errand? I'm happy to do it for you."
After the conversation had gone this far, the group realized something was amiss.
Why does it feel like Zhuocang is trying to run away?
at this time.
Zhuo Cang was extremely anxious. Just that speed of escape was at least at the peak of the Core Formation stage. He would be crazy to risk his life against the other party.
Unfortunately... they wasted too much time.
Wang Yu's intense spatial dizziness had subsided, and his attention naturally turned to these people.
A malevolent curse cast by a corpse!
The Taiyin Fiend Corpse had already reached the threshold for advancement, but had been suppressed by Wang Yu. The two corpses joining forces in this burial pit secret realm was a perfect combination of timing and location.
This sudden counterattack caught them completely off guard.
Caught in the clutches of the Moon Goddess, Zhuo Cang's strength plummeted at an alarming rate. In his panic, he didn't even think about sending a message, but instead fled for his life.
He actually activated a third-tier escape talisman directly, a decisive move that greatly surprised Wang Yu.
Even with money, they're still afraid of dying!
Boom—
The third-tier Thunder Corpse descended, and with the release of its Thunder and Lightning Summoning Divine Power, the five late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were sent flying backward like kites with broken strings.
It was charred into a crisp by the violent lightning.
Amidst the scorching aroma, the cracks in those bodies still bore traces of lightning, instantly obliterated by this spreading lightning divine power.
That's incredible!
At the same time, the aurora borealis streaked across the low sky.
Wang Yu used the Ghost Cry Flute as a projectile, throwing it out with fierce divine power. It shot away like an arrow, transforming into a peculiar image of a dark crow carrying a sharp blade in mid-air.
"Pfft~"
A large hole appeared in Zhuo Cang's chest. Wang Yu had just grasped the golden elixir with his elixir-picking technique when Zhuo Cang disappeared in a spatial fluctuation.
"Phantom Moon!"
At this moment, apart from unleashing a powerful pupil technique, Wang Yu was powerless to do anything. He had suffered such severe injuries, and with his golden core stolen, he was trapped in an illusion.
The probability of the other party dying was as high as 90%, but Wang Yu still felt deeply annoyed. He hadn't managed to get the storage ring, which was a huge loss!
Moreover, as long as he didn't die on the spot, it meant there was still a chance of something changing, and he hated variables.
The battle ended in the blink of an eye.
Because the other party didn't fight back at all, and was only focused on escaping, which was in stark contrast to his initial boastful remarks at the entrance to the secret realm.
He could only hope that the other party wouldn't teleport him out of the secret realm.
Otherwise, it would take a lot of time to find the body later.
If we're still in the secret realm...
Wang Yu placed the blood-stained golden pill in his palm and unleashed the Divine Sense Secret Technique: Ten Thousand Miles of Tracking. This was not merely a secret technique for searching a wide area.
It can also be extended to achieve targeted tracking effects.
Finding the original body through a golden core, a strongly connected entity of the same origin, is incredibly easy.
Soon after, a smile appeared on Wang Yu's lips.
"It's good that you didn't go out."
He casually tossed the corpses and the array flags placed at the entrance of the secret realm into his Cold Blood Ring, intending to clean them up later when he had time.
Having dealt with all that, they then fled in the direction the secret technique was tracking.
…………
…………
The depression in the middle of several hills.
In front of a dark gray hall that was sealed off on all four sides, two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators and the remaining four late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were preparing to enter and explore.
They didn't know much about the ancient burial pit, but they roughly knew it was a secret realm of the burial complex type. Such places often present both opportunities and dangers.
"The Yin and Corpse Qi is very strong here, and there should be quite a few Yin ghosts and zombies. Once we go in, remember not to touch anything without our permission."
"clear!"
If, out of greed, one accidentally triggers a restriction or mechanism.
Once the crisis is over, his teammates won't let him have a good ending, unless he's the one who led the charge...
After entering, they split into three teams.
The few people who had angered Zhuo Wenshi at the entrance were to stay behind and guard the entrance. They formed one team, while Zhuo Wenshi and the array masters formed another team.
Due to the powerful obstruction effect of the dark fog, they didn't notice the changes at the entrance to the secret realm at all; their attention was focused on the sealed hall.
As they ascended the steps, on the dusty, yellowish jade railings, one could vaguely discern a plant pattern with long stems and petals resembling closed chrysanthemum petals.
"Brother Jie, doesn't this pattern look familiar?"
"I have some knowledge of ancient history," Zhuo Jie said.
"It does look familiar. It should be a product of the late ancient times, when the five major sects of the demonic path had just been established and had not yet reached their peak."
"I should have seen it in some ancient books of the sect."
"However, don't worry, as long as it's not a sealed place of [Demon], it's impossible for a fourth-tier ferocious beast to exist in this secret realm space."
His judgment was based on the fact that there were no fourth-order spiritual veins in this place, and even the mutated yin veins were only third-order, which could not provide a natural environment for the long-term existence of fourth-order spiritual veins.
The upper limit of danger can then be estimated to some extent.
"Walk."
At the main entrance of the dark gray hall, two Core Formation cultivators used their respective methods and the experience and techniques passed down from their family elders to quickly make a discovery.
"This place is sealed off. It seems we can only try to break it by brute force. This restriction is relatively weak. We'll use the penetration seal."
"good."
The so-called permeation of the Dharma seal is silent and imperceptible.
Without triggering the restrictions on a large scale or making any sound, the huge rock that had sealed the palace gate automatically melted, creating a portal large enough for one person to pass through.
This shows that they have a wide range of methods.
The six people entered shortly afterward.
A ripple came from the space, and a "corpse" with a bloody hole the size of a football fell to the ground, motionless. If it weren't for the pulse still beating, it would be no different from a corpse.
It was Zhuo Cang who used the teleportation talisman to leave.
He had set the coordinates near his companions beforehand, but unfortunately they entered the palace, which must have been equipped with a system to prevent teleportation.
