Chapter 1276

Above a huge valley covering an area of dozens of thousands of miles, Yang Kai and Yang Yan were suspended in the air. Looking at the constantly churning and extremely thick Yin Qi below, they couldn’t help but frown.

Even without going deep into it, Yang Kai could tell that these Yin-cold Qi were not easy to resist. Moreover, from time to time, one could faintly hear a whistling wind similar to the howling of ghosts and wolves, which made people shudder with fear.

“Are you sure this is the place？” Yang Kai observed for a while and then turned his head to look at Yang Yan.

“That’s right. Although I don’t know the specific location, if these two incomplete maps are put together, the path they point to is exactly here.” Yang Yan looked at the two incomplete maps in her hand, looked left and right, and said firmly.

“This is a bit troublesome.” Yang Kai frowned.

The reason why he brought Yang Yan out on this trip was precisely because of these two incomplete maps. One of them was originally owned by Yang Yan. Yang Kai had never asked her where she got it from, and the other one was the one that once appeared in the Tianyun City auction. Yang Kai obtained it by killing a Que He Sect disciple named Meng Hongliang in the Flowing Flame Sand Field.

When the two incomplete maps are put together, although one still cannot obtain too accurate clues, one can still see something.

This kind of incomplete map that looks very old should hide some secrets. Once the place pointed to by the incomplete map is found, perhaps one can obtain extremely great benefits. Currently, the capital turnover on the side of Dragon Cave Mountain is not smooth, and Yang Kai doesn’t allow Yang Yan to continue auctioning off secret treasures. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity to go to the Glazed Sect, Yang Yan came out with Yang Kai and also came to look for the position pointed to on the incomplete map by the way, to see if she could be extremely lucky and solve the current awkward situation.

After checking the number of Myriad Phantom Glazes devoured by the Stone Puppet, the two of them rushed towards this place non-stop. It took a full ten days to finally arrive above such a huge valley. It is called a valley because at the edge of this place, there are indeed some mountain ranges connected, surrounding this place in a ring. But such a huge valley with such a vast area, Yang Kai has seen it for the first time.

At first glance, it seems as if this place was forcefully sunken by some powerful expert, and the cold and gloomy qi emitted from it is also very uncomfortable. Just the periphery is like this, one can imagine what kind of danger is hidden inside.

“Do you know what place this is？” Yang Kai asked another question. If it were just him alone, he wouldn’t be afraid of anything at all. But now that Yang Yan is also by his side, although her self-protection ability is outstanding, if she really encounters any great danger and Yang Kai has no time to spare to make a move to save her, it is still somewhat worrying.

“Don’t know. The Dark Star is too big. How could I know every place? But looking at the fact that there is no one within a radius of millions of miles, it doesn’t seem to be a good place.” Yang Yan shook her head.

Yang Kai felt extremely helpless. Whether this place was good or not could be seen at a glance. There was no need for Yang Yan to say it.

Now it was no longer possible to find someone to ask about the situation. The two of them hadn’t seen anyone since passing through a small city five or six days ago.

“Anyway, we’ve already come. Let’s just go in and take a look. We’re not sure if we can find the final position indicated by the incomplete maps. I just don’t want to waste the two incomplete maps in hand.” Seeing Yang Kai’s hesitant appearance, Yang Yan couldn’t help but urge.

Yang Kai looked at her and then pondered for a moment and said, “Fine！ But you have to follow me closely and don’t leave more than three zhang away from me.”

“Got it！” Yang Yan stuck out her fragrant tongue and wrapped her black robe tighter.

The two of them immediately didn’t hesitate any longer and advanced in the direction of the valley.

As soon as they entered the valley, the thick cold Yin Qi attacked from all directions, making Yang Yan shiver involuntarily. But the next moment, the scorching fire-attribute Saint Yuan bursts out from her body, dispelling the cold Yin Qi and restoring her to normal.

Yang Kai naturally didn’t care about this cold Yin Qi. His physical body was strong enough to resist this kind of attack.

Looking around, this place is in a state of decay and seems very desolate. It is difficult to see many trees in sight. Occasionally, there are some grass growing here, and all of them exude a cold and gloomy atmosphere, looking dark and ugly. The shrill wind whistling like ghosts crying and wolves howling in the ears is getting louder and louder. The strong wind blows from a distance and sweeps across the bodies of the two people, strangely bringing a bit of coldness. This kind of coldness seems to directly act on the soul, making people defenseless.

“Let’s go!” Yang Kai greeted and led Yang Yan to move forward deeply. Along the way, except for the extremely uncomfortable environment here, there are only the waves of shrill winds that blow from time to time. Youdaoplaceholder0, there is no danger encountered which makes Yang Kai feel very surprised, but he is also happy about it.

One day later, the two people have penetrated within three thousand miles and are now standing in front of a collapsed ruin, a little was lost in thought.

There should have been a building here originally, but it collapsed at an unknown time. With the passage of ruthless years only some ruins are left in the original place, and the broken walls have also been smoothed by the shrill wind, and each piece of rubble has become as smooth as a mirror.

“Oh！” Yang Yan suddenly seemed to have discovered something, rushed a few steps, ran to the broken wall, and started to circle around a place.

Yang Kai didn’t stop her either. Under the detection of his Spiritual Mind, there were no dangerous traces around.

After a while, Yang Yan walked back with a thoughtful expression.

“What did you find？”

“Restrictions,” Yang Yan said in a deep voice. “It seems that this place was once the site of some sect. There are actually traces of restrictions here, but they have long been destroyed. It seems that we need to be more careful on the next road. Generally, the restrictions of a sect gradually strengthen from the outside to the inside. We didn’t encounter any before, probably because we haven’t entered the scope of this sect yet.”

Hearing what she said, Yang Kai immediately nodded and asked, “Which way should we go now？”

Yang Yan took out the two incomplete maps again and looked at them carefully before pointing to a position： “This way！”

Yang Kai immediately continued to lead the way in front. On the following road, the two of them really encountered some remaining restrictions and formations. However, in Yang Yan’s eyes, these restrictions and formations were simply not worth mentioning. With her reminder, Yang Kai avoided all those that could be avoided. If he really couldn’t avoid them, then Yang Yan would take action to break them.

None of these restrictions and formations could last for thirty breaths in Yang Yan’s hands.

But Yang Kai didn’t show any joy. Instead, his expression became much graver. Since this was the ruins of a sect and judging from its condition, it seemed to have been many years ago. After such a long time, the restrictions and formations were still functioning. One could imagine how powerful this sect must have been originally. And for such a sect, the restrictions and formations arrange inside should also be extraordinary.

Whenever Yang Yan breaks those restrictions and formations, Yang Kai would guard beside her. After she breaks them, he would then take the lead to open the way. The two of them divided the work and cooperated seamlessly.

At this moment, Yang Yan breaks a small illusion restriction and happily clapped her hands. Just as she was about to say something to Yang Kai, Yang Kai’s face suddenly turned cold. With a shaking of his figure, he rushed in front of Yang Yan grabbed her shoulder with one hand, and dragged her behind him. At the same time, his other hand pushed forward lightly.

A ball of scorching black flame burned on the palm.

The palm hit the void, but strangely, a shrill scream suddenly came out. That scream contained some kind of divine power and launched an attack similar to a soul skill, rushing into the sea of consciousness of Yang Kai and Yang Yan. But this kind of attack wasn’t very strong and couldn’t tear apart the sea of consciousness defense of the two at all, so it was blocked outside.

Even so, Yang Yan’s face also turned pale. She didn’t notice any danger at all and was suddenly attacked like this so she was naturally extremely frightened.

When she concentrated and looked towards Yang Kai’s side, she was shocked to find a hazy, almost invisible figure being firmly held in Yang Kai’s hand. Amidst the churning demonic flames, the blurred features of that figure revealed an extremely painful expression, and then it was quickly incinerated by the demonic flames.

“Soul！” Yang Kai and Yang Yan almost blurted out simultaneously, and then they looked at each other, feeling a bit chilly in their spines.

Soul is a very special existence. It is another kind of existence similar to a living being that is condensed after the death of a living being and its soul does not dissipate.

Generally speaking, after the physical body of any living being dies, the soul will not exist for too long. Without the physical body as a carrier, the soul will soon dissipate between heaven and earth and become a part of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. However, if it is preserved with a suitable secret treasure or finds a suitable physical body to seize within a short time, the soul can remain.

But how easy is it to refine a secret treasure that can store the soul？ Seizing a body is even more extremely dangerous. If one is not careful, one may be devoured by the soul of the owner of the physical body. Just like the Earth Demon wanted to seize Yang Kai’s body back then, but in the end, it was instead controlled by him and had to obey Yang Kai’s orders. It was really a case of losing one’s wife and soldiers.

However, there is another situation that can keep the soul from dissipating, and that is to have a very suitable environment.

Like this valley, it is such a very suitable place. The yin and cold qi is extremely rich. If the divine soul is in this place, the dissipation speed will be greatly slowed down. If the opportunity comes, it will not dissipate all year round and instead turn into an existence like a ghost.

Of course, after turning into a ghost, this strand of divine soul will also lose its intelligence and become a fierce and evil spirit that only acts according to instinct.

The ghosts formed in this situation are very aggressive. Any living thing or creature with a body is an enemy in front of them. They are between the real and the virtual. If there are no suitable secret techniques and secret treasures, it is very difficult to truly eliminate them.

After Yang Kai’s demonic flame turned into a hot attribute, it was originally extremely masculine and yang, and it was precisely the nemesis of these ghosts. So with just a grab, he could kill it. If it were other martial artists, it would not be so easy.
