Chapter 828 Suppressing the Holy Maiden! The Dead Man's Pit in the Land of Dragon's Fall!
Chapter 828 Suppressing the Holy Maiden! The Dead Man's Pit in the Land of Dragon's Fall!
Li Heishui had witnessed the power of this fire poker at the Burial Ground of Immortals; it was a weapon truly woven with Dao and reason.
He never expected that Chu Yang would casually give him such a treasure.
For a moment, Li Heishui was at a loss for words. Then he saw that the two men and the dog had already entangled Yao Xi. Without saying another word, he rushed out.
Yao Xi was on the verge of a mental breakdown. She had been living in constant fear and anxiety, encountering far too many strange things.
If it weren't for the fortuitous encounters I had when I first entered the Primordial Ancient Mine, coupled with the Moon Palace in my sea of consciousness and my own extraordinary abilities, I probably would have died somewhere long ago.
She naturally recognized Chu Yang and the others. Apart from Liu Kou and the big black dog, she had seen the rest of them in the Southern Region.
But this is the Primordial Ancient Mine!
Who would deliberately venture into a no-man's-land?
Therefore, Yao Xi subconsciously believed that what she saw was just an illusion, and that once she got closer, she would be met with great terror.
However, to her utter surprise, these guys actually caught up with her!
Most importantly, these people don't seem to be weird at all!
There's no need to elaborate on the Golden-Winged Roc King; the Great Wilderness Halberd is highly iconic, and the Great Wilderness Power on it doesn't seem fake.
The other two were even more frightening: one had a replica of a desolate tower on its head, and the other was surrounded by surging lightning.
Could the strange creatures within this forbidden zone even know how to replicate imperial weapons?
Moreover, heavenly thunder is extremely yang and strong; what strange thing could trigger heavenly thunder?
So, in a flash, Yao Xi realized she had misunderstood, and immediately said, "This is a misunderstanding!"
"Everyone, I am Yao Xi, the Holy Maiden of the Yao Guang Holy Land, and I have met Emperor Chu twice!"
However, the big black dog didn't care about any of that.
What, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang?
Even if it were the Holy Lord of Yao Guang in front of it, it would still dare to take a bite.
Liu Kou was burning with anger; he had been terrified by Yao Xi earlier and was unwilling to stop.
Yao Xi has been having a terrible time lately, her condition is extremely poor, and her divine power is insufficient. How could she possibly be a match for two people and a dog?
Seeing Li Heishui charging towards them carrying a frightening weapon, Yao Xi's expression changed slightly. She quickly looked at the Golden-Winged Roc King and said, "Roc King, we've met outside the Fire Domain!"
"Don't you remember?"
The Golden-Winged Little Demon King remained silent, though he was attacking Yao Xi, his peripheral vision was always fixed on the Black Emperor.
He was indeed arrogant, but he wasn't completely clueless. He had been plotting against Black Emperor for a long time, and now he wanted to find an opportunity to get back at him.
Yao Xi was completely speechless. These guys weren't listening to anything she was saying; they just kept their heads down and started hitting.
I haven't offended them, have I?
Back in the Zixia Mountains, she was quite polite to Chu Yang. Why did she attack him the moment they met?
With a sudden thought, Yao Xi smiled sweetly at Chu Yang, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Young Emperor Chu, we're old acquaintances, how can you bear to watch me be bullied like this?"
As soon as she said that, Qin Yao's gaze towards Chu Yang suddenly changed.
It wasn't that he was jealous or anything, it was just that his expression was strange, as if he was saying...
"I never would have guessed! You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually have a mountain of romantic entanglements!"
Especially when she thought about how Chu Yang was forcing the Yao Guang Holy Land into seclusion while simultaneously flirting with the Holy Maiden, Qin Yao's gaze became increasingly strange.
Chu Yang shook his head and chuckled. Looking at Yao Xi, who was clearly exuding a holy aura but whose behavior was like that of a demoness, he suddenly raised his hand and handed over a small black cauldron.
A series of dragon roars resounded, and a suppressed, terrifying aura permeated the air.
Yao Xi was dumbfounded. As the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, how could she not recognize the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron?
And she was certain that this was definitely not a counterfeit!
So here's the question...
Why did the Emperor Weapon, the most treasured weapon of the Yao Guang Holy Land, end up in Chu Yang's hands?
Before she could figure it out, the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron arrived in an instant and forcibly took her inside.
Chu Yang withdrew his imperial weapon, and suddenly a cold wind howled around him, with black whirlwinds sweeping in, and red shadows could be faintly seen within them.
Mobilizing an imperial weapon in a forbidden zone is an absolutely earth-shattering event. If the Emperor's might of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron had not been suppressed by the God-Slaying Sword, even the supreme beings of the forbidden zone would probably have been alarmed by now.
The next moment, he suddenly brought out the master of the Ice Palace, and an extremely cold aura spread out, causing the black and red whirlwinds to quickly retreat.
"It works quite well..." Chu Yang said with a smile, putting the corpse away again.
Although this corpse has completely withered away, it was once a terrifying existence, so even in death, its might remains.
After all that effort, only to have his person suppressed into the Emperor Weapon by Chu Yang, the Black Emperor was somewhat annoyed. He stared wide-eyed and said, "Chu Yang! This is really unfair!"
"We agreed to all get rich together, but you hogged it all by yourself!"
Chu Yang glanced at him sideways, "Do you think I don't know your own worth?"
"He's someone who could be considered an ancestor, how dare he compete with some juniors for things?"
Black Emperor was so angry he jumped up and down. What the hell was this about taking things from a junior?
Can seniority be determined in this way?
You, a mighty emperor, aren't you just playing around in this mortal world?
Looking at the other three, who all had gloating expressions, Black Emperor finally understood that these guys hadn't come to rob the Holy Maiden at all, but had deliberately set a trap for him!
"Let's go! If this trip goes smoothly, I can give you a fortunate opportunity!"
Chu Yang casually drew a pie in the sky, as a way of offering Black Emperor some consolation.
Black King didn't believe a word of it, but since Chu Yang had said so, it could only follow with its tail drooping.
As he walked, Chu Yang diverted a wisp of his mind to enter the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron.
The inner wall of the cauldron was engraved with various Dao patterns, exuding Daoist charm, but it was too terrifying and full of killing intent.
Yao Xi was sitting cross-legged, observing the Dao patterns. She had clearly seen earlier that the black dragons in the cauldron were transformed from these Dao patterns.
Chu Yang's divine sense materialized and suddenly appeared inside the cauldron.
Yao Xi showed no surprise or tension, her posture extremely relaxed, exuding a languid air, but a hint of seriousness in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.
Yao Xi feigned composure and smiled charmingly, saying, "Young Emperor Chu, could it be that you went to the Yao Guang Holy Land to propose marriage, and the Holy Lord gave this imperial weapon as part of your dowry?"
Chu Yang glanced at her and said calmly, "There's no need to test me. You'll find out the truth once you get out of here."
"First, tell me... why you're in the Primordial Ancient Mine!"
Yao Xi's eyes flashed, but she still maintained her smiling expression, pouting as she said, "Young Emperor Chu is truly heartless. We're old friends!"
"You must have sensed a terrifying aura a while ago, right?" Chu Yang suddenly changed the subject. "If you don't tell me, I'll throw you in front of the owner of that aura!"
Yao Xi's expression finally changed. She had certainly sensed that aura, and when that aura emerged, all the strange beings in the Primordial Ancient Mine seemed to riot.
If she hadn't risked her life by plunging into a perilous place, stumbling upon some opportunities, and escaping, she would probably be dead by now.
Judging from Chu Yang's words, the appearance of that terrifying aura seemed to be related to him.
In fact, Yao Xi was not completely unaware. How could she not have noticed the extreme divine power of the two imperial weapons that had revived outside the Primordial Ancient Mine, which seemed poised to tear the sky apart?
A terrifying presence within the forbidden zone... the clash of two supreme imperial weapons... the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron falling into Chu Yang's hands...
There is clearly some connection between them!
Yao Xi pursed her luscious red lips and said softly, "I came to the Northern Region with the Holy Lord, but we were ambushed by the Peacock King and two great bandits. The Holy Lord fled for thousands of miles, while I concealed my whereabouts."
"Later, I met Hua Yunfei, as well as several disciples from the sacred lands of the Southern Region families."
"Hua Yunfei has a fragment of a map that is related to the Ruthless Great Emperor. The fragment points to the Primordial Ancient Mine."
"To investigate further, we found an elderly man in Yuancheng who was familiar with the Primordial Ancient Mine to guide us..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang frowned slightly.
Yao Xi didn't come alone; Hua Yunfei appeared to be behind her.
Chu Yang's gaze turned somewhat strange as he scrutinized the woman before him, who sometimes appeared like an ethereal being and at other times possessed an irresistible allure.
If that's the case...
It's truly a miracle that she survived!
Sensing the change in Chu Yang's gaze, Yao Xi's face showed a look of astonishment. "You...you know that Hua Yunfei has a problem?"
Chu Yang lowered his eyelids slightly. "His shadow was behind the events in the Fire Domain back then."
"I just didn't want to argue with him back then. Is he still in this restricted area?"
At that time, Chu Yang did not want to break ties with the Ruthless Clan, but now the matter of the Yao Guang Holy Land has already caused everyone to break ties.
Since the Holy Son of Yaoguang has gone into hiding, why not deal with Hua Yunfei, who is in the public eye, first and make the Ruthless Clan feel the pinch?
Yao Xi shook her head with a somewhat grim expression and said, "He has already left. The Ruthless Man Map is a scam. He brought us into the Primordial Ancient Mine to make it easier to take action."
"Everyone else except me died at his hands. If I hadn't been aware of the dangers of the forbidden zone and hadn't been careful early on, I probably would have fallen for his tricks too..."
Chu Yang looked at her leisurely, "Even if you got rid of Hua Yunfei, how did you manage to survive here for so long?"
"Then why not leave?"
Yao Xi remained silent, choosing not to answer this time, clearly because it involved some secrets.
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes, and a small God-Slaying Sword suddenly appeared in the cauldron, followed by an unparalleled surge of soul will.
The Dao patterns on the cauldron seemed to come alive, transforming into small black dragons that swam within the cauldron.
Yao Xi's mind went blank for a moment, and her eyes were empty.
With a mere flick of the God-Slaying Sword, the Moon Palace that sheltered her sea of consciousness was cleaved in two, and its unparalleled soul and will surged forth.
A blue light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes, and a small blue hand emerged from between his eyebrows and pressed against Yao Xi's head.
After a while, the true spirit's will faded, the God-Slaying Sword returned to its original state, and the black dragon transformed back into Dao patterns, as if nothing had happened.
The blue light in Chu Yang's eyes faded, and he looked at Yao Xi cautiously and calmly.
Yao Xi stared at him intently, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown, her eyes flashing with struggle.
Chu Yang was slightly surprised. Yao Xi had not yet broken through the Dragon Transformation Realm, but the difficulty of distorting her cognition was far greater than when he attacked the Golden-Winged Roc King.
And now that she has succeeded, this woman's will is still struggling against the "instinct" that arises from her distorted perception.
It seems that the Golden-Winged Roc King is an exception. His personality is too irritable and easily angered, making him prone to revealing his weaknesses and being influenced by the little blue hand.
In that case, if we want to target a prodigy in the future, it's best to do so before they grow stronger.
A moment later, the struggle in Yao Xi's eyes faded, her gaze cleared, and she gracefully bowed, saying, "Yao Xi greets her master!"
Chu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, then chuckled and said, "Take off your clothes!"
Yao Xi's expression remained unchanged, and her movements were unwavering as she began to undress.
Just as the first layer of clothing was about to be removed, Yao Xi suddenly made a hand seal.
However, the next moment, her expression froze.
Even with the ancient scriptures and methods of the Yao Guang Holy Land, she couldn't elicit the slightest reaction from the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron!
Chu Yang had long known that the woman was faking it. Taking advantage of the moment when she lost her composure, he released his true spiritual will once again, and his small blue hand reached out.
Outside, Chu Yang suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Forcibly controlling Yao Xi is far more difficult than he imagined. Unless he can obtain a secret technique that complements the Dual-Hand Technique, it will probably take him three to five years to succeed.
Fortunately, he only needed to spare a sliver of his attention. Since he wasn't planning to release the woman anytime soon, he could just stall for time.
"Brother Chu, what's wrong?"
Seeing Chu Yang suddenly stop, Liu Kou asked in confusion.
At this moment, the group had lost the tension they felt when they first entered the restricted area; instead, they felt an excitement that made them indifferent to life and death.
The experience at the Burial Ground of Immortals has proven that as long as you stay by Chu Yang's side, there will be virtually no danger.
So instead of living in fear and anxiety, it's better to go all out and make a fortune.
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that we've entered a dangerous place."
Hearing his words, the group was stunned for a moment. Even the Black Emperor looked up in surprise, glancing around before saying thoughtfully:
"We've been going downhill for the past fifteen minutes..."
"Is this a basin?"
Chu Yang continued walking forward, saying softly, "It's not exactly a basin; to be precise, it's a huge pit!"
"In the Book of Origin, this type of terrain is called a 'dead man's pit'!"
"No matter how many people come, it's a bottomless pit that can't be filled!"
Even the Black Emperor was somewhat bewildered this time. He knew about the Five Fiends Burying Demons because he had heard the Great Emperor Wushi mention it before.
But this mass grave was something he had never heard of before.
As Chu Yang led the group down the slope, he explained, "The so-called Dead Man's Pit is actually a sinkhole. From the air, the terrain here is shaped like an inverted cone."
"But these are just the surface. The real reason this place is called the Dead Man's Pit is that a mountain peak that once gathered the dragon veins of ten directions was forcibly moved away by people..."
"The final resting place, the site of the dragon's fall, is the crater of the four!"
Black Emperor suddenly stopped, his eyes glazed over.
Where the dragon veins of the ten directions converge?
A mountain peak was being moved away by someone?
This sounds exactly like Zishan!
Could it be that the immortal emperor once moved Purple Mountain from here and eventually placed it in the place where nine dragons guard a pearl?
If that's the case, then the origin of this mass grave is quite frightening!
Chu Yang glanced back at him, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Countless years have passed, and the old subordinates of the Undying Emperor are all suppressed in Purple Mountain. What do you have to be afraid of?"
Black Emperor's eyes bulged, staring straight at Chu Yang, his gaze seeming to say...
Is this kind of secret something that can be casually revealed? (End of Chapter)
