Luo Qing coughed awkwardly and said, "Thank you so much, Junior Brother Ye."
If it hadn't been for Ye Mu just now, he would have been seriously injured.
"Be careful next time." Ye Mu smiled faintly and walked forward.
In the darkness, there was silence, and everyone restrained their breath and moved forward cautiously.
Contrary to Ye Mu's imagination, the main hall is just a shell, and there is a cave inside.
"This should be its own space, and the hall outside is just a facade." Ye Mu expressed his thoughts as he walked forward.
When Yuan Hong and others heard this, they also nodded slightly.
Although the environment was dark and one could not clearly see the surrounding scenery, the feeling of emptiness was very clear. If it were a normal hall, it would naturally not be possible for people to feel like this.
"Why are there no traces of other people?" Lin Yue'er asked in surprise.
Hearing this, everyone was slightly startled. Yes, they were not the only ones who entered the hall. Where were the people from Xuanyang City?
In addition, there were many people coming from all over the cave, why didn’t they see any of them?
"In addition to the main hall, there were eight auxiliary halls before. Perhaps each hall is its own space." Ye Mu pondered for a moment and said.
Hearing this, everyone also smiled bitterly. If this was really the case, wouldn't Territory Lord Xuanyang's handiwork be terrifying?
But after thinking about it, everyone felt relieved. After all, he was a fierce man who could sweep across the entire Qingxuan Continent.
The methods of a super strong person are simply not something they can understand.
Several people could only agree with Ye Mu's words. After all, they couldn't think of any other reason.
The group of people continued to move forward in the darkness. After half a stick of incense, the surrounding environment gradually became brighter.
An extremely wide space came into view. In the distance, tall stone pillars rose from the ground, reaching the top.
The air was filled with water vapor at some point, and the moist and cold feeling made people shrink their necks involuntarily.
The humidity is a bit cold and seems to carry some evil spirits, making people uncomfortable.
There was silence in the space, and this silence made Ye Mu feel a little uneasy.
"It's too quiet. Please be careful and cheer up." Faced with this silence, Yuan Hong also frowned slightly.
Hearing this, everyone secretly activated their spiritual power and looked around cautiously.
As we continue to move forward, there are more and more huge stone pillars, but not all of those stone pillars are intact.
Some have been broken into half, some are lying sideways on the pile of rocks, and some are stuck on the ground, completely broken.
"It seems that some kind of war has gone through here." Ye Mu glanced around, and further away, the dilapidated and desolate scene became more obvious.
"War?"
Everyone was stunned, and Chai Yuan even said: "This place was left by King Xuanyang. It might be the former site of Xuanyang Palace. Who has the courage to make trouble here?"
After hearing his words, Ye Mu chuckled and said: "Although King Xuanyang is strong, he is not invincible. Otherwise, how could he fall?"
"Uh." Chai Yuan's breath was stagnant and he was speechless.
"Moreover, maybe the fall of King Xuan Yang is related to the battle here." Ye Mu spoke up again, making everyone's hearts tremble.
What kind of battle can make a super strong person in the eighth realm fall?
You must know that when one has reached that level of cultivation, he is almost immortal. If you want to completely cut off his vitality, it is difficult for ordinary strong men of the same level to do it. It is unimaginable what kind of trauma the Xuanyang Territory Lord suffered back then.
?
While Yuan Hong and others were secretly shocked, Ye Mu was thoughtful.
Chongyou said before that Territory Lord Xuanyang might not be dead, which made him a little doubtful. After all, the vitality of such a strong man was almost unnatural.
It is simply impossible to kill him completely without the joint efforts of several powerful men of the same level or using extremely tyrannical means to cut off his life.
Throwing away many thoughts, Ye Mu moved his steps and continued to move forward.
rustle.
Apart from the sound of footsteps, there was no sound in the space, and the silence was a bit eerie.
As they continued to advance, many statues came into view. Each of those statues had ferocious faces, fierce looks, and extremely dark colors, which made them look scary in this dim space.
Ye Mu's eyes swept across the statues, and the uneasiness in his heart had reached the extreme.
Buzz.
A faint voice came, and Ye Mu paused in his steps and moved his eyes slightly.
A statue's eyes suddenly lit up with red light, and Ye Mu frowned slightly.
call out!
A red beam of light suddenly shot out from the statue's eyes, and an indescribable sense of danger surged into Ye Mu's heart, making Ye Mu's hair stand on end.
The beam of light was extremely fast. Ye Mu jumped up and narrowly avoided it.
"What a powerful beam!" Ye Mu looked at the ground not far away. An extremely deep hole had appeared on the floor there, and there was still residual energy spreading around it.
"Junior Brother Ye, are you okay?" Yuan Hong said, with a look of panic in his eyes.
Ye Mugang was about to nod, but a sense of danger that made his scalp numb came again.
"careful!"
Ye Mu's shout fell, and several rays of dark cold light suddenly shot out from the stone statues on the left and right sides, passing through the space and hitting several people with a strong wind, extremely sharp.
When Ye Mu's voice fell, several people reacted and fled.
Seeing a few people avoid those cold arrows, Ye Mu fell from the air, picked up an arrow from the ground, and observed it carefully.
"What? Is there something wrong with this arrow?" Seeing Ye Mu's appearance, Yuan Hong asked doubtfully.
Ye Mu didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on the arrow. A faint purple light lit up from his eyes, revealing a little bit of black energy on the arrow.
In this arrow, there is not only evil energy, but also this black energy.
This strange black energy gave Ye Mu a familiar feeling, as if he had seen it before somewhere.
After thinking to no avail, Ye Mu just shook his head, turned around and continued moving forward.
"You guys are so weird." Lin Yue'er curled her lips when she saw this.
Yuan Hong and the others looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and followed slowly.
Continuing to move forward, Ye Mu's uneasiness was still very strong. The spiritual power in his body was operating to the extreme, and he was always alert to the situation around him.
The stone statues on both sides look more and more weird.
Moreover, the color of the stone statues is getting darker and darker.
"Ouch!"
An unpleasant sound suddenly sounded, surprising everyone.
"Who?!" Yuan Hong shouted sharply, his voice waving around, but there was no response at all.
In the silent space, everyone was startled by the sudden sound, but after this sound, there was no movement at all.
Ye Mu's eyes swept over the stone statues, his purple spirit pupils moved quietly, and the strange black energy had no escape, flowing on the stone statues.
Moving his steps, Ye Mu approached a stone statue, stretched out his palm, and sprayed out spiritual power to disperse the black energy.
Then, a shocking scene occurred.
The appearance of the stone statue actually changed, becoming peaceful from the fierce look before.
"What's going on?" Yuan Hong and others also discovered this change and immediately came closer.
Facing the surprise of several people, Ye Mu told them that he could see the black energy.
"What kind of black energy can't be seen even with the power of the Divine Sea Realm?" Chai Yuan said in shock.
Hearing this, Ye Mu shook his head slightly and said, "It's probably not because of lack of strength."
"Why is that?" Chai Yuan said again.
Ye Mu glanced around and said softly, "It should be caused by insufficient light."
Not enough light?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then heard Ye Mu say: "Let's all look around and see if there is any light source around."
After hearing this, everyone dispersed and walked towards the surrounding ruins.
"Be careful." Ye Mu warned and started to search.
His spiritual power swept through the stone pillars, statues, and various broken furnishings, and Ye Mu discovered many lamps.
With a move of his hand, a lamp fell into his hand. Ye Mu's mind moved, and the flame poured into the wick, and the surrounding area suddenly lit up.
However, before Ye Mu could be overjoyed, black energy rushed in, covering the lamp in his hand, and the light was once again covered up.
Under the black air, the flames in the lamp began to shrink, as if they were under great pressure.
After a few breaths, it slowly extinguished.
Seeing this scene, Ye Mu was also slightly frightened. You must know that the flame he lit the wick was not an ordinary thing.
That is the Blue Thunder Soul Flame, a genuine spiritual fire, a true treasure of heaven and earth.
Doesn't this stop the black energy?
What is the origin of this thing?
"Sister Qingluan, can you see the origin of this black energy?" After thinking to no avail, Ye Mu asked Qingluan the question.
"Do you still remember the demon Mifu once said?" Qingluan said after a moment of silence.
Demon?
Hearing this name again made Ye Mu startled.
"You mean this black energy comes from the devil?" Ye Mu was a little confused. Although this kind of black energy was strange, it was not extremely repulsive.
Pure devil energy will make people instinctively reject it. After all, that kind of power is completely contrary to the rules of heaven and earth in the spiritual source world, and it is impossible to integrate into it. However, the black energy in front of you does not have that feeling.
"It doesn't necessarily come from the Heavenly Demon, but it is definitely related to the Heavenly Demon. This kind of aura makes me very disgusted." Qingluan said softly, and Ye Mu clearly felt that Qingluan, who had always been calm, was a little irritable.
"It seems that King Xuan Yang's death has something to do with this so-called demon." Ye Mu pondered.
"It's possible." Qingluan nodded slightly, agreeing with Ye Mu's guess.
"If it is really related to the devil, then you must be extremely careful next time."
Qingluan's voice was a little solemn, which made Ye Mu's heart tighten. It seemed that this kind of thing was indeed terrifying.
"You don't have to worry too much. Although this black energy is difficult to deal with, it is far from the real devil energy. If you find a way to light up the space, you should be able to dispel some of it." Ye Mu knew that he was a little stressed.
, Qingluan continued.
"Yes." Ye Mu nodded slightly and looked at Yuan Hong and the others.
At this time, they found some fire pillars and lamps and tried to light them one after another, but to no avail.
Almost all of them light up for a few breaths and then go out.
Seeing this scene, Ye Mu was extremely helpless. Purple energy rose in his eyes, and ripples of light flowed across the space.
He could clearly see a lot of black air flowing, especially among the stone statues.
Previously, the stone statues would launch attacks, which was inseparable from the black energy.
How can we make light spread throughout the space?
