Chapter 627
byIn the endless darkness, Yang Kai mourned woke up.
The scene he had just experienced quickly recalled in his mind. Yang Kai’s expression changed, and he quickly quietly released his spiritual sense to investigate the surroundings, wanting to figure out the environment he was in now.
However, as soon as his spiritual sense extended more than ten zhang away, it was blocked by an invisible force.
The place where he was currently located seemed to have a restriction barrier that imprisoned him.
Helplessly retracting his spiritual sense, he slowly opened his eyes. The orange-yellow light entered his field of vision. He found that he seemed to be imprisoned in a stone chamber. All around were cold stone walls. On the top, there was a goose-egg-sized stone that emitted a soft light for illumination, so that the field of vision was not restricted.
Sitting cross-legged and circulating his cultivation to adjust his breath for a while, Yang Kai was shocked to find that he was unharmed. Not only was there no injury, but there was also no sign that his true yuan was imprisoned. Immediately, his heart relaxed.
He clearly knew that he had been captured by the Coffin Carrier, but that legendary Saint-level master who seemed stupid and crazy did not do him any harm, which made Yang Kai somewhat confused about the situation.
There were so many people. Why did the Coffin Carrier only target and capture him? And from beginning to end, Yang Kai had only carefully used the power of his spiritual sense once under the eyes of everyone.
Frowning and thinking for a while, Yang Kai had some guesses in his heart. However, he didn’t know if this guess was correct.
Sitting upright on the ground, adjusting his breath while quietly waiting.
He knew that since the Coffin Carrier hadn’t imprisoned him or caused him any trouble, but just captured him and brought him here, there must be some ulterior motive. Moreover, he was certain that the Coffin Carrier would reappear. Before he understood what the situation was here, Yang Kai didn’t act rashly but chose to wait.
Time passed slowly. After a long time, a rustling sound finally came from afar and drew closer.
Yang Kai suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes shone with a brilliant light.
“It seems that Senior Coffin Slave has sent another person in. It is said that that guy is very young. I don’t know if he has any ability.”
“Who cares? Anyway, I don’t have any expectations. If he has no ability, when the ten-year deadline arrives, he will die here. It has nothing to do with us.”
“Well, but it seems that Lady Li really wants to fulfill the long-cherished wish of her ancestors. In comparison, Lord Chu is more open-minded. In fact, staying here isn’t so bad either.”
“Shh. Don’t talk too much. Walls have ears. If someone hears you, you’ll be in trouble.”
The voices of the two men clearly entered Yang Kai’s ears, making his expression a little strange.
He had thought that the person coming must be the Coffin Carrier, but now it seemed that it wasn’t what he had thought.
Soon, a soft creaking sound suddenly came from the closed stone chamber. A stone door on the side was opened, and two men, one tall and one short, stood at the door, looking at Yang Kai with gloomy and cold expressions.
Sensing their auras, Yang Kai raised his eyebrows.
He discovered that the auras on these two people were very different from those he had encountered before, having a bit of a cold, ice-cold, evil, and violent feeling.
Specifically speaking, it was somewhat like the aura on the Earth Demons, and also of the same origin as the aura on himself after going demonic. However, their auras, whether compared to the Earth Demons or to himself, were very thin.
Demonic Qi？ Yang Kai was astonished.
Looking at their appearances again, they also seemed a bit different from ordinary people. Hooked noses, narrow and long eyes, and on their faces. There were also a few colorful patterns.
Seeing these patterns, Yang Kai’s expression became even more strange.
Because if he were to be possessed, all over his body, except for his face would also be covered by such patterns. Yang Kai clearly knew that these patterns contained enormous energy.
His heart was thinking, but his face remained expressionless. Yang Kai just quietly looked at the two people.
“Awake?” The taller man chuckled. “Stand up if you’re awake and come with us. The taller man wants to see you!”
Yang Kai frowned and didn’t say much.
These two men, one tall and one short, had cultivation bases probably only around the fourth or fifth level of the Divine Movement Realm. In Yang Kai’s current state, if he wanted to kill them, it wouldn’t take much effort. He could easily take their lives with a flick of his hand. But before figure out the current situation, Yang Kai didn’t plan to take action.
The division of labor between these two people was also very clear. One in front and one behind, they sandwiched Yang Kai in the middle, looking at him from time to time with a vigilant look.
As they walked outwards, Yang Kai secretly observed the surroundings.
After leaving the stone chamber, they entered a long corridor, going all the way up with many steps. It seemed that he had been imprisoned underground before.
It took a long time to finish those steps and set foot on the solid ground.
The light came, and Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and looked up. His expression couldn’t help but be stunned because he found that the scene in front of him had a somewhat familiar feeling.
There was no distinction between day and night, no light from the sun and the moon, and the heaven and earth were chaotic…
Yang Kai couldn’t help but stop.
In his life, he had been to such a place twice before.
Once was in the inheritance cave near Lingxiao Pavilion, and the second time was when he followed Ling Taixu into the strange land in Youming Mountain for training.
No matter which time it was, the space he entered was very similar to the one in front of him.
As a result, at that moment, Yang Kai thought he had returned to the inheritance cave or the strange land in Youming Mountain, and was slightly abated.
“Why did you stop？ Hurry up！” The man behind him shouted angrily, a little impatient.
Yang Kai frowned and came back to his senses. He turned his head to look around and suddenly found that there were many men and women on the ground nearby, curiously looking at him, pointing at him and whispering.
On the exposed skin of these men and women, regardless of who they were, there were more or less some patterns of different colors covering it.
Who on earth are these people？ Yang Kai was puzzled in his heart.
Not getting angry either, following the shout of that man, Yang Kai took steps again, but looked at the crowd around him even more curiously.
Soon, following the two men, one tall and one short, into a spacious great hall. Outside the great hall, Yang Kai keenly noticed that the architectural style here was somewhat different from what he had seen before, seemingly more unrestrained than what he had seen before.
And inside the great hall, there were also huge pillars standing one by one, and many ferocious patterns were carved on the pillars.
In the very center and in the first place, there was a beautiful woman in palace attire sitting there, with outstanding charm and dignified manner. Her breath was long, and a force that made Yang Kai’s heart palpitate and feel uneasy was contained within her delicate body Below her there were more people standing in two columns, waiting quietly for something.
When seeing Yang Kai walk in, everyone couldn’t help but have their eyes light up, and the beautiful woman’s beautiful eyes even flashes with anticipation.
Yang Kai secretly shook his head and didn’t understand. He didn’t find the coffin carrier here, which was very different from his expectation.
He originally thought that the adults mentioned by the two people who escorted him here were the coffin carriers, but he didn’t expect it to be such a mature and dignified beautiful woman.
Moreover, Yang Kai didn’t detect any trace of patterns on the people in these great halls.
Beside the beautiful woman, there stood a delicate and pretty girl. The girl wore a long goose-yellow dress and looked fresh and charming. After seeing Yang Kai’s arrival, her beautiful eyes as deep as sapphires stared at him, and she said to the beautiful woman beside her, “My lord, this is the person that Senior Coffin Slave brought in this time.”
The beautiful woman nodded slightly and gently opened her vermilion lips： “He has troubled himself again. Did Senior Coffin Slave get injured this time？”
Her voice was extremely gentle and indescribably pleasant. Just like her dignified attire, she seemed to have a quiet personality.
The girl shook her head： “Just some minor injuries. Those humans are really hateful. Since Senior Coffin Slave wasn’t convenient to take action, they kept attacking. If not for that, with the strength of those people, Senior Coffin Slave could have easily wiped them all out！”
“Alas, it’s us who have dragged down Senior Coffin Slave.” The beautiful woman sighed softly.
The people below her also kept shaking their heads, with pained expressions on their faces.
The beautiful woman composed herself, stared at Yang Kai, and asked, “Human, what’s your name？”
Yang Kai furrowed his brows. Although he didn’t quite understand what exactly had happened to him, through the observations along the way and the few words of conversation just now, Yang Kai quickly realized what kind of people these were in front of him. Squinting, he asked hesitantly, “Demon Race?”
Only demons andDemon Racepeople would address others as ‘human’. Moreover, within the bodies of these individuals, there is demonic energy, which is an energy different from true essence.
A hint of surprise flashed across the beautiful woman’s pretty face. She seemingly didn’t expect that the person delivered this time would see through their identities at a glance and not show the slightest bit of panic.
In the past, Senior Coffin Slave also brought some people over. However, most of them knelt down and begged for mercy, crying non-stop. There were also those who rose up in rebellion. Never before had there been anyone as calm as the youth in front of them.
“So you are indeed demons！” Yang Kai observed their expressions and became even more certain of his guess. “Is this place the Demon Frontier? Why did you capture me and bring me here? What are your intentions?”
“Youdaoplaceholder0!” The delicate and pretty girl couldn’t help but let out. She glared at Yang Kai and said, “Answer my mistress’s questions properly. There’s no need to ask pointless questions. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’m pulling out your tongue!
Yang Kai chuckled.
“What are you laughing at!” The girl became even more angry. She gritted her teeth at Yang Kai and said, “Do you think I’m scaring you?”
“Hmm.” Yang Kai nodded slightly.
“You…”
“That’s enough.” The beautiful woman stopped the girl’s nonsense. She looked at Yang Kai with a smiling and said with interest, “Aren’t you afraid at all?”
Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders.
“Why do you think Wan’er is scaring you？”
“Obviously.” Yang Kai pouted. “Because when you caught me here, not only did you not harm me, nor did you restrict my True Yuan and Spiritual Consciousness. And when I arrived here, many of you showed expressions of anticipation. I don’t know what you are looking forward to, but you must have something to ask of me. Since you have something to ask of me, you won’t harm me.”
In the great hall, quite a few people couldn’t help but chuckle.
The delicate and pretty girl Guan’er also couldn’t help but open her small mouth wide and look at Yang Kai stupidly.
The beautiful woman gracefully stood up and revealed a smile. “It is said that humans are shrewd and crafty, and it really lives up to its reputation.”
It was not known whether these words were teasing or sarcastic, and Yang Kai felt very uncomfortable hearing them.
