Chapter 256 Strange Death
Outside the entrance of the underground palace, each of the five Sea Transformation Realm disciples had expressions of reluctance, but they were helpless.
М
They had no choice but to tremble and follow the commander of the Imperial Guard into the underground palace.
A quarter of an hour later, the two demon saints were also forced to enter the underground palace, followed by the other eight saints. The fourth prince was left to guard the entrance to the underground palace.
Ye Liuyun raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. "This is a sheep left to guard the wolf! This unlucky guy!" However, he did not rush to take action, but waited for a quarter of an hour before approaching the fourth prince.
The fourth prince didn't notice him until he was thirty feet away from him.
"The blood-armored man..." The fourth prince screamed, and then said quickly: "Don't kill me, I'll leave right away!"
Ye Liuyun, however, flashed his golden eyes and directly pulled his soul into his own thunder and fire realm.
"Fourth Prince, don't leave in a hurry? Aren't you looking for me everywhere?" A golden-armored soul of Ye Liuyun appeared in front of the Fourth Prince.
"Ye Liuyun? Why is it you?" The fourth prince cried out in horror. He subconsciously took two steps back, but was hit by a blood thunder, splitting his soul almost to pieces.
"ah!"
He screamed and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.
"I have never made a move against you before! As long as you let me go, I will promise you anything! I can even recognize you as my master and be willing to be your slave!"
He also knew that Ye Liuyun would not let him go if he didn't speak harshly.
"Huh? Is this the character of the royal family? Why didn't you think of this day when you were chasing me? It's a pity, I don't need a weakling like you by my side." The golden-armored soul said and began to devour his soul.
But Ye Liuyun devoured it very slowly. Seeing his soul being devoured bit by bit, this kind of psychological torture made the prince collapse on the spot, and even his soul fainted from fear.
"Humph! Turns out he is a loser! He pretends to be a human being!"
Ye Liuyun snorted coldly and stopped wasting time with him. He directly absorbed all his soul, collected his storage ring, and then took Lei Ming into the underground palace.
In the underground palace, the smell of death was even stronger. The passage also goes around and around, with no end in sight. The patterns on the palace walls also depict various scenes of hell, which look extremely strange.
Before they had gone far, Lei Ming raised his nose and sniffed, telling Ye Liuyun that there was the smell of blood not far ahead, and someone must have died not long ago. But Ye Liuyun found nothing. His consciousness has tried its best to expand, but he can still only detect a hundred feet.
It wasn't until he walked a little further that his consciousness discovered that there was a square hall in front of him, and there was a coffin in the hall. The lid of the coffin has been opened and the coffin is empty.
The female disciple of the ninth level of sea transformation from Shuiyue Palace fell against the wall, already out of breath. She died very strangely. There was a wound on her neck, and there was a little blood on the sword in her hand. Judging from the posture, it looks more like suicide!
The female disciple's soul had been swallowed up, her eyes were wide open, and her pupils were dilated. It's like seeing something scary before death!
Her storage ring is still there, and it doesn't look like her companions are killing each other for treasure.
After getting close, Lei Ming also smelled the blood on her sword.
"It was indeed suicide. It was her own blood!" Lei Ming also said in disbelief.
"If there is danger later, you must return to the storage ring as soon as possible! This is likely to be a divine attack." Ye Liuyun immediately warned Lei Ming. He felt that this female disciple might have been possessed by some kind of terrible illusion.
He has the Ten Thousand Gods Order, so he is not afraid of such attacks at all, and he also has a skeleton puppet to ensure his safety. Lei Ming also knew that he could not drag Ye Liuyun down at this time, so he immediately agreed.
Ye Liuyun carefully inspected the coffin. There was no trace inside, as if it had been empty to begin with, and no one had ever been lying inside.
Looking here again, there was nothing else except this coffin, so Ye Liuyun had no choice but to move on.
His golden eyes dare not rest for a moment now. He has seen through more than twenty layers of palace walls, but there are still endless palace walls in front of him, as if there is no end.
And this is not an illusion, because everything is normal in the Ten Thousand Gods Order, and there is no reaction to the attack. There are no forks in the middle of the passage, only one road that twists and turns, indicating that this is not yet a maze.
They collected the female disciple's storage ring and checked it, but found nothing unusual.
After walking for a while, they came to an identical hall, where another disciple of the ninth level of Huahai died here. But there was no blood.
The same soul was swallowed up, and his eyes were horrified.
Ye Liuyun used his spiritual consciousness to carefully explore this space, but did not find even a trace of the soul of the deceased. It stands to reason that even if the soul dissipates automatically, it cannot dissipate so cleanly in such a short period of time.
"Either the soul was taken away directly, or the soul was frightened to death and then the soul was taken away!"
Ye Liuyun was sure that the souls of these people must have been taken away.
The same is true inside the coffin, there are no traces at all, and the lid of the coffin seems to have just been opened.
Lei Ming also asked strangely: "If there is a ghost inside the coffin, then they were fooled last time and a person died. How could they be so stupid and open the lid?"
Ye Liuyun also nodded when he heard this. "Either there is a treasure in the coffin that is very tempting to them, or the lid opened by itself, not them."
Ye Liuyun went to check the lid again, but found that there were no signs of violence inside or outside.
Then he shook his head and said: "Let's go, there will always be a moment when the truth comes out."
So, the two of them also speeded up.
Every time they walked a while, they would come across a hall. There will always be a corpse in the hall, the state of death is the same, and the condition of the coffin is also the same. They picked up a lot of storage rings along the way.
When Ye Liuyun saw that the demon saint was also dead, he found that the demon's eyes were also full of fear.
Ye Liuyun took off his storage ring and muttered softly: "What can scare a devil?"
Lei Ming also asked: "They have killed so many people, haven't they ever thought about turning back?"
Ye Liuyun was suddenly startled and hurriedly walked back with Lei Ming, but this time, after walking around, he returned to the room where the demon died.
Lei Ming is also a little worried!
"It seems like there should be a formation here. We have only one way to go to the end!"
Ye Liuyun was worried. Since he couldn't get out, he would go to the end to see what was causing trouble.
Then, Ye Liuyun almost used the volley technique and flew through the underground palace. After passing another demon corpse, he slowed down.
Because his golden eyes had already seen through the palace wall the saint advancing in front of him.
Ye Liuyun followed them forward again. After his spiritual consciousness could detect them, he kept moving at the same speed as them.
But all of them had serious expressions and remained silent. This time before entering the hall, they all stopped and looked at each other before mustering up the courage to walk inside.
Ye Liuyun also stopped.
He found that the lid of the coffin in the hall was closed. He wanted to stop and see what would happen.
