Chapter 1277

Speaking of which, Yang Kai really dealt with such things before. Many years ago, when he was training in the fierce and evil cave in the Cangyun Evil Land, those evil spirits he encountered were existences similar to ghosts. At that time, he could collect a lot of the origin of evil spirits. Unfortunately, there is no such thing after the ghosts here dissipate.

After entering this valley, Yang Kai somewhat suspected whether there would be ghosts in this place. But along the way, he didn’t find any, so he didn’t pay attention. Unexpectedly, he didn’t encounter them until now.

And what made Yang Kai’s complexion even uglier was that since there was one Yin Soul here, it meant there would be a second, a third, or even more.

Judging from Yang Yan’s complexion, she clearly thought of this too, and her expression was uncertain.

As if to verify the two people’s guess, when that Yin Soul was wiped out, from all directions underground, wisps of visible Yin-cold Qi suddenly emerged, as if they had been awakened by the shrill scream of that Yin Soul.

These Yin-cold Qis were all more or less thick. The thin ones were almost imperceptible, while the thick ones were like light smoke. No matter what form they were in, they only distorted for a while and then revealed the figures of Yin Souls. Without exception, none of them had clear facial features, and some didn’t even have complete limbs. They looked extremely strange.

Seeing this, Yang Yan immediately activated one of her treasure armors. In an instant, a ball of fiery red flowing light wrapped her entire body, while Yang Kai remained silent and directly flicked his ten fingers. Streams of pitch-black Demon Flames shot out and precisely pierced through the bodies of those Yin Souls.

Although the number of these Yin Souls was not small and they looked they were really vulnerable. After one round of attack, not a single one could resist. They were all wrapped by the Demon Flames, turned into ashes, and dissipated between heaven and earth.

And seeing this, Yang Yan seemed to feel a lot more at ease. Her eyes rolled around, and she actually took out a disk-shaped secret treasure. Then, she poured Saint Yuan into it and activated the power of the secret treasure.

The next moment, a circle of scorching red fire centered on that disk secret treasure suddenly spread out in all directions. As the firelight passed along the way, it actually dispelled all the yin coldness between heaven and earth, and those condensed Yin Souls simply couldn’t withstand the power of the firelight. With shrill screams, their bodies shattered.

The scorching red circle spread out a hundred zhang away before gradually losing its power and disappearing. Looking around, the originally dense Yin Souls that existed were now completely gone, all wiped out in that fire circle.

Yang Kai was stunned for a moment！ He looked at Yang Yan in surprise.

“Hehe, the secret treasure I newly refined, isn’t it good? Yang Yan seemed a little smug and smiled at Yang Kai.

“Well, it’s suitable for this situation at present, but if it’s used to deal with a single person, it’s a bit insufficient.” Yang Kai also had good eyesight and immediately saw the shortcoming of this secret treasure.

Hearing Yang Kai say this, Yang Yan pouted and said, “I have other secret treasures that can be used to deal with a single person, but I just don’t bother to fight with others, hum！”

It seemed that because Yang Kai told the truth, it made her very unhappy.

Yang Kai touched his nose and said faintly, “Let’s go. Although these ghosts are vulnerable, there might still be some fierce and malicious spirits inside. We can’t be careless.”

The two immediately continued on their way.

This area of the sect ruins was indeed extremely strange. There were not only many remaining restrictions, but also so many ghosts had been born. On the following road, the two encountered the attacks of ghosts and the blockades of restrictions several times. However, these only made Yang Kai and Yang Yan spend a little more effort to easily solve, and nothing too dangerous happened.

They continuously explored in this valley for several days. As time passed, the time Yang Yan spent on examining that incomplete map each time was also getting longer and longer. It seemed that as they got closer to the target location, it was very difficult for her to determine the correct position.

One day, when Yang Yan was examining the direction indicated by the incomplete map, Yang Kai’s expression suddenly changed. He released his spiritual sense and spread it outwards. After a moment, his expression became strange and he furrowed his brows and said, “There are actually still people here.”

“Who are they？” Yang Yan was shocked and asked.

“I don’t know, but there are only four people, two at the Third-Order Saint King Realm and two at the Second-Order Saint King Realm. It seems they are trapped in some kind of restriction.”

“Should we go and take a look? Just in time to ask what exactly this place is.” Yang Yan suggested.

According to Yang Kai’s original idea, since the two of them came here to search for treasures this time, of course they didn’t want to cause extra complications. No matter who the people over there were or what kind of danger they encountered, he was too lazy to meddle in other people’s business. But under the induction of his spiritual thoughts, the auras of two of them made him feel a little familiar, as if he had met them somewhere before.

This made him extremely curious. Hearing what Yang Yan said, after pondering for a while, he nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go over and take a look quietly, but don’t expose our tracks.”

“En.” Yang Yan naturally had no objections.

The two of them immediately quietly rushed over there. Yang Kai’s spiritual thoughts were powerful. As long as he restrained his own aura and wrapped his spiritual thoughts around himself, he naturally didn’t have to worry about being discovered by warriors of the same level.

And Yang Yan activated the power of a necklace secret treasure she was wearing. Soon, a film-like energy cover her. The film seemed to have liquid flowing on it. Just in the blink of an eye she seemed to disappear from Yang Kai’s field of vision, leaving only a faint figure. Even when Yang Kai used his spiritual thoughts to detect, he couldn’t detect any of her aura. Unless someone stood in front of her at a close distance and looked at her with the naked eye, otherwise, she wouldn’t be exposed.

Seeing this, Yang Kai nodded slightly.

The four people were not close to the position where the two of them were. They were as far as thirty miles away. Only Yang Kai dared to release his spiritual thoughts unscrupulously to detect in this kind of place.

After a stick of incense, Yang Kai and Yang Yan arrived below a small earthen mound and looked over there furtively.

I saw that on an open space not far away, there was an energy light screen covering an area of thirty zhang in diameter, in a semicircular shape, like a large bowl inverted on the ground. And inside this energy light screen, there were four martial artists forming a triangle, looking around solemnly and vigilantly. The four of them had brilliant lights flowing on their bodies and surging Saint Yuan. They each held secret treasures of different shapes, and two of them continuously activated the power of the secret treasures and bombarded the semicircular light screen.

Every time they bombarded, although they could make the light screen shake, this light screen didn’t know what kind of mystery it had. Not only did it trap the four people inside, but it could also rebound their attacks back.

And the remaining two people, after their companions’ attacks, must use their defensive secret treasures to receive the rebounded energy, so as not to hurt their companions.

The cooperation of the four people was extremely skillful. At a glance, they were familiar with each other. But no matter how hard they tried, it seemed that they couldn’t break the semicircular energy light screen in a short time. And I don’t know how long they had been trapped here. The Saint Yuan fluctuations in each person’s body were fluctuating, and they looked very exhausted.

“Oh, it’s actually a restriction with a rebound property. This is a bit interesting.” Yang Yan’s eyes lit up, and she seemed to be very interested in the semicircular restriction.

Yang Kai frowned, looking at a woman among the four who was dressed as a young married woman and had a pair of peach-blossom eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and said with a strange expression, “It’s her！”

He had previously sensed that the auras of two people here were somewhat familiar, so he came to take a look, but he really didn’t expect it to be this woman.

That young married woman was actually Shen Shitao of the Qian Tian Sect. Speaking of which, he didn’t have much acquaintance with this woman. He had only met her a few times in the Flowing Flame Sand Field. However, this woman seemed to have determined that he was a person of great fortune. At that time, she had the intention to draw him into joining her in the action. But before Yang Kai could refuse, they encountered Chang Qi who was chasing the Dragon Soul. As a result, her luck was really good. She followed Yang Kai into an underground Saint Crystal vein.

Later, Yang Kai left the underground Saint Crystal vein in advance, leaving only several people from the Qian Tian Sect and Chang Qi there to mine Saint Crystals. He didn’t know how much they had gained in the end.

However, looking at Chang Qi’s gain, one could tell that they must have also gained a lot. The several of them together, there were at least hundreds of millions of Saint Crystals, and they didn’t take on any risks either.

Moreover, since Yang Kai was able to obtain the Dragon Bone, Dragon Pearl, and Nine-Twist Crystal Jade Tree from that underground Saint Crystal vein, Shen Shitao and the others might also have other opportunities and obtain other precious things.

From a certain perspective, she did indeed benefit from Yang Kai’s luck at that time and had such a great gain.

Yang Kai just didn’t expect that he would run into Shen Shitao in such a place. One of the familiar auras he had sensed earlier belonged to her, and the other belonged to another delicate and pretty woman he had also met before. She was at the 2nd-Order Saint King Realm, and at this moment, she was one of those responsible for taking action to defend.

“Do you know them？” Yang Yan tilted her head and asked softly.

“Sort of.” Yang Kai nodded.

“Then should we give them a hand？”

“No need.” Yang Kai shook his head resolutely. “This woman is a bit of a hassle. It’s better not to let them discover us. Looking at this restriction, there doesn’t seem to be much danger. It can only trap them for a day or two at most. By then they will naturally come out.”

“But I want to go and study it…” Before Yang Yan could finish her words, her beautiful eyes suddenly froze, and she looked towards not far from Yang Kai’s side.

Yang Kai also happened to sense something at this moment and turned his head around. His expression immediately turned ugly.

Because not far away, several Yin Souls were floating towards this side, seemingly attracted by the movement over there. Moreover, looking at their flight paths, they would actually pass by the small hill where he and Yang Yan were hiding.

Yang Kai was greatly annoyed. He quietly made a gesture to Yang Yan and was about to retreat.

Who would have known that just as they moved a little here, those few Yin Souls seemed to sense something and looked over here one after another. Then, each of them let out a shrill howl and pounced over menacingly.

Although Yang Kai and Yang Yan were hidden extremely perfectly and would not be discovered by Martial Artists of Saint King Realm, for these Yin Souls, as long as it was a living being, they could sense it through some leaked vitality.

Seeing this, a wisp of cold killing intent flashed in Yang Kai’s eyes. He spread his hand and pinched towards the nearest Yin Soul. At the same time, several Demon Flames shot out from his other hand and scattered in all directions.
