Chapter 32: Underground Secret Cave (Third Update Seeking Votes)
Three ways to crack it, Qi Bei didn't even think about it, and definitely thought that the third one was the best.
But what will he use to devour this entire dark soul?
But he soon understood!
The answer is this mysterious black long sword, the emotions it conveys to his mind are filled with longing, excitement and pleading, it's hard to imagine that a sword can also have emotions similar to humans.
The black long sword slid out of his sleeve and almost dragged him towards that intangible dark soul seal.
At the moment when the sword tip touched the dark soul seal, Qi Bei's body trembled, and the intangible dark soul seal suddenly became tangible in his eyes.
Those complex lines of magic, those mysterious magical symbols, and the thirty distorted faces of souls are all vivid in my mind.
Suddenly, all of this began to shrink infinitely and was sucked into the black long sword.
The courtyard of the Marquis of Lanling was empty and silent as a dead place.
Qin Bei reached the door of Lanling Hou's bedroom and still didn't sense any movement. He gently pushed the door, and to his surprise, it opened.
In the bedroom, there was only a pink magic lamp left, and Lanling Hou was not inside.
"Tsk, tsk, quite the impressive collection! What a remarkable hobby." Qi Bei looked at the pink bed frame hanging with headgear, whips and chains, muttering to himself.
The Marquis of Lanling is not here, but there must be a secret in this house. Otherwise, he wouldn't have set up the Dark Soul Seal to protect this place.
Qī Běi began to carefully search for clues in the house, and his gaze fell on the bookshelf at the very back.
There is a piece of decorative jade inlaid on the bookshelf. The surface is smooth to the touch, as if it has been stroked by people many times.
He reached out with his large hand and pressed it against the jade stone, twisting it forcefully.
The huge bookshelf suddenly slid open, and Qi Bei's eyes lit up, but immediately became astonished.
Only inside the long dark cabinet embedded in the bookshelf, more than a dozen naked strong men stood like wooden puppets in a row.
The black long sword in Zhi Bei's hand reacted again.
"Puppet, created through puppetry after the soul is extracted and the body is refined, controlled by the caster, becoming a mindless corpse, no way to break free, only complete destruction."
At this time, Qi Bei noticed that there were friction marks on the edge of the inlaid dark cabinet, and it was clear that there was another mystery behind this.
Qin Bei knocked on it and found that there was nothing behind it. He pushed forward with force, but it wouldn't budge!
Under a thorough examination inch by inch, Qi Bei found a magical mechanism under the foot of a puppet, but this kind of magical mechanism requires a magical key to open.
At this time, a strong curiosity had risen in Qi Bei's heart.
Since there is no magic key, take the most primitive approach.
Zhi Bei knew that the materials used for this entrance were quite special and might be difficult to break open with his internal energy. He directly lifted up the tiles several meters away from the ground and started digging.
The air solidified into a sharp cone, like a drill bit, and mud and stones flew everywhere.
Before long, a black long sword pierced the air in front of Qi Bei, revealing a cave entrance with faintly visible dim magical lights shining through.
Success!
Qī Běi's heart leapt with joy, and he cautiously poked his head out to discover that the cave was actually a passageway. A staircase of steps led down into the unknown depths, with a dimly lit magic lantern hanging on the wall at regular intervals.
Qin Bei crawled in, fully alert and walked towards the depths.
He had been walking for nearly a thousand steps when Qi Bei's body suddenly stopped, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints.
All that can be seen is at the end of the stairs, with hundreds and thousands of skulls strung together in rows hanging on both sides. The eye sockets of these skulls flicker with a faint green light, making people's hearts panic.
Moreover, Qi Bei also found that judging from the shape of these skulls, they were clearly the skulls of children aged 7 or 8.
A chill rose from the bottom of his heart, followed by a surge of outrage. There are human morals and heavenly principles; this is simply inhumane.
Qī Běi's face was gloomy, and he walked down step by step.
Through the passage strung with skulls, a door appeared in front of him, burning with a pale white flame.
Flames are supposed to give people a warm and cozy feeling, but this pale flame can only chill one's bones.
The golden inner energy of the North Pole Dan Tian rotates throughout the body, only then can this seemingly soul-piercing cold be driven out.
Go in or not?
Standing still in front of the white flame gate in the north, he thought for a moment and decided to enter. Since he had come all this way, retreating now would be meaningless. Moreover, he had already entered violently, which was equivalent to startling the snake by cutting the grass.
With a surge of internal energy, he charged in like lightning, his black long sword at the ready to launch both attack and defense.
One dash in, Qi Bei was stunned for a moment. This was an underground secret room built with black crystal stones. On the wall at the farthest end of the secret room, a thin and weak old man with a hood over his head, a dirty face, and white hair all over his body was locked up by a cold iron chain. The hook of the chain had pierced through his shoulder blades as well as his wrists and ankles.
"Who are you? Is that beast Kasyapa who sent you?" The old man's weak eyes scanned Ziqi for a moment, then closed again as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
Kassy? It seems to be the name of the Marquis of Lanling.
Zi Bei didn't answer his words, but instead asked: "And who are you? Why were you locked up here by the Marquis of Lanling?"
"Tell that deceitful and unfilial beast, the thing has already been destroyed, let him not waste his energy." The old man closed his eyes and did not look at Qi Bei again.
Qī Běi heard two meanings from this sentence. This old man might be the master of Lán Líng Hóu, and Lán Líng Hóu wants to get something from him.
"I am not a man of Langya, but his enemy. I just accidentally broke into this place..." Qi Bei said.
The old man didn't say a word, but just had a hint of sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth, obviously, he didn't believe Qi Bei at all.
"Zhi Bei fell silent for a moment before speaking again: 'I am a member of the Nuo De family.'"
At this time, the old man opened his eyes and looked at Qi Bei's left hand. On his middle finger, he saw the unique family ring of the Nuo De family's direct descendants.
"When you came in, weren't there rows of skulls hanging outside? The eye sockets of those skulls were emitting a green glow?" the old man asked.
"Not bad." Qi Bei nodded his head.
"Hurry up and leave, that evil guy is recovering from his injuries, that's why you could come in so easily. Once he wakes up, you're definitely dead." The old man urged.
Is there still someone here? Zhi Bei was taken aback.
"Heh heh heh...... Now that you're here, can you still leave? I happen to be lacking in soul and essence." Just then, a cloud of black smoke burst forth from the entrance of the secret chamber, and an old man as thin as a corpse appeared.
The old man's pupils were a deep green, and he held a black staff in his hand, with a small skull embedded at the top of the staff. The whole person exuded a cold and eerie aura of death.
Qī Běi's heart skipped a beat, and all the hairs on his body stood up. Even breathing felt difficult, just like an ant facing an elephant - if the other party was willing, it could crush him to death in an instant.
