Chapter 458: The Patriarch Has Encountered A Ghost!
“Take the soul as a sacrifice, and use the curse as a guide!”
“Heavenly Qi and the chanting winds of ten thousand miles!”
“Heed my command!”
As Ye Chen’s voice fell, the wind around him began to riot, spreading rapidly like the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. The threads on his hand also began to vibrate according to the frequency.
This was a magical ability that Ye Chen could use after breaking through to the Foundation Building realm. With the help of the surrounding wind elements and using it as a medium, he could sense any movement within an eight-kilometer radius. It was not an exaggeration to describe him as a clairaudient.
Suddenly, he sensed two cold aurae.
“So, you guys are hiding here!” Ye Chen snorted coldly and leaped. In the next moment, he disappeared from the building and rushed towards the direction he sensed.
…
Within the nature park three kilometers away, the two black-robed men were just about to pack up their things and leave when they heard a loud bang as the huge skull on the ground exploded.
The black-robed man’s heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously blurted out, “Sh*t! He’s discovered us!”
This skull was his magical tool. If it was destroyed, it meant that someone had broken his spell.
“Hurry! Quickly go!”
The other black-robed man’s expression changed drastically.
In the next moment, a ghostly voice whispered in their ears, “I really want to know how you want to run away!”
The two froze and looked back to see a figure slowly walking towards them in the darkness.
It was Ye Chen.
He looked like a ghost in the dark night, advancing silently without a sound, and with him came a cold killing intent!
“M-Mad Southern Ye!”
At this moment, the two black-robed men’s faces changed as if they were facing a great enemy.
They could not figure out how Ye Chen had found their location and came so quickly. After all, it had not even been more than two minutes since Xiao Kai died, had it?
“I’m giving you a chance now. Tell me who you are and why you want to touch my woman. Maybe I’ll consider letting you die more comfortably!” Ye Chen pressed forward step by step with his hands behind his back.
“Go to h.e.l.l and ask the King of h.e.l.l himself!”
A gourd suddenly appeared in the hands of one of the black-robed men. He shook the gourd and immediately, countless mournful black ghosts rushed towards Ye Chen like billowing smoke. Their speed was extremely fast as though they were horses galloping on the prairie.
“Stubborn fool!”
“Die!” Ye Chen laughed coldly and waved his hand. A bolt of lightning blade light formed in his hand. The lightning blade light cut through the black smoke and slashed towards the black-robed man.
Bang!
The black-robed man’s eyes widened. Before he could let out a scream, his entire body was cut into two by the blade light. The gourd in his hand fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this scene, the black-robed man that remained felt his scalp go numb. He was so shocked that he could not speak. “You…you…”
One had to know that the black-robed man was an emissary sent by the Cult Master. His strength was incomparably powerful. He even held the seven deadly gourd that the Cult Master had personally bestowed upon him. Yet, he was actually killed by Mad Southern Ye in a single move?
At this moment, he turned around and ran without even thinking. Ye Chen was truly more terrifying than he had imagined.
However, Ye Chen appeared in front of him in the next moment. His eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty coldness. “Now, speak your choice!”
The black-robed man’s expression turned fierce as he roared, “Long live the Cult Master!”
Ye Chen’s expression changed slightly as he hurriedly reached out to grab him. However, in the next moment, the other party’s body suddenly exploded. The situation was the same as Xiao Kai’s. His body had been cursed.
However, compared to Xiao Kai, the other party was clearly the one who initiated the spell. He would rather die than reveal anything to Ye Chen.
“I was careless!”
Ye Chen’s expression was somewhat self-reproachful. He should have directly used the Soul Searching Tactic on the other party just now.
However, his gaze fell on a wooden token under his feet, so he picked it up and took a look. He discovered that the wooden token was the size of his palm. Its entire form was made of locust wood, and there were many malicious ghosts carved on it. The most obvious word in the middle was a large “ghost” character.
“Is this an ident.i.ty wooden plate?”
Ye Chen frowned slightly. Then, he walked to the corpse of the black-robed man, who had been cut into two by his saber, where he also found another wooden plate. The two pieces were almost identical. The only difference was that the color was different. One was black iron while the other was bronze.
He picked up the gourd again and found that it was quite heavy. It weighed at least 20 kilograms and was filled with countless ghosts and yin qi.
“It seems that this is an organization. But who is the Cult Master that the other party mentioned?” Ye Chen’s expression changed a few times, but in the end, he shook his head and left.
…
At the same time, in the depths of Yaoshan, a castle stood in the mountains like a ferocious beast. At this moment, countless black-robed men were kneeling in front of a ferocious stone statue in the main hall of the castle, and they were mumbling in all kinds of unclear voices.
Roar!
An extremely furious roar suddenly came from the depths of the hall, shaking many people to death on the spot. Then, many ghosts floated out from their corpses, only to be devoured by the huge ferocious stone statue.
Countless people were shocked and they knelt even more fearfully.
The Cult Master was furious!
A man wearing a ghost mask walked out. He peered up at an old man standing at the side of the hall and said, “Elder Black, the Cult Master invites you!”
The old man was dressed in white, but he wore a black mask on his face. He looked extremely terrifying. He nodded and followed the old man into a stone room. A black silhouette sat upright on top of the stone room, but due to the screen blocking his view, his face could not be seen clearly.
However, the moment the old man in white entered, he felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake. He could not help but lower his head and bow. “I, Fleeting Black, greet you, Cult Master!”
“The person I sent out has died. Elder Black, go to Tiannan personally and bring Mad Southern Ye’s woman to me.”
The black shadow behind the screen spoke. His voice was very deep, like the sound of a dying person pulling a bellows.
The white-robed elder frowned and said, “Cult Master, Mad Southern Ye just killed Shen Tiannan. Rumor has it that he has divine powers. This person is not to be trifled with. Why should our Ghost Witch Cult have a death grudge with him for the sake of the Heavenly Palace?”
“The more Guan Shanyue wants to use me, the clearer I am about things.” The black shadow smiled arrogantly and seemed to be disdainful. “The ghost s.h.i.+p is about to appear. You should go. Mad Southern Ye’s woman is very important to me, and I must capture her at all costs!”
…
At this moment, Ye Chen had already returned home. The moment he entered the door, he found Mengmeng and Qianqian playing with the Patriarch of h.e.l.l with their heads lowered.
All the hair on the Patriarch of h.e.l.l’s body exploded. He lay on the ground trembling, not daring to move at all, as if he had experienced something terrifying.
Before Ye Chen could react, the Patriarch of h.e.l.l’s voice rang in his mind, “Fellow Ye, help! I’ve encountered a ghost!”
