Invincible Soul Emperor

Ye Qingchen’s words were like a bolt from the blue.

Making the manager incredulously open his eyes wide.

"No, then why didn’t you say it earlier!" The manager looked as if Ye Qingchen had done something heinous.

"I wanted to say it, but you yourself wouldn’t listen." Ye Qingchen shook his head helplessly.

The manager was so angry that his eyes were bulging.

"Manager, I think you know what to do about this, right?" Xue Zhao glanced at him indifferently.

The manager sighed heavily, "I know."

After such a major oversight, he voluntarily resigning was already the best outcome.

He now regrets not believing Ye Qingchen earlier.

But now, it’s too late to say anything.

"By the way, I’m curious, how exactly did Zheng Xiao manage to escape? This manager is so heavily guarded, it shouldn’t have been possible to get out." Ye Qingchen slowly walked out.

Xue Zhao frowned beside him, "Yes, I’m quite familiar with the Xue Family here, how could he have escaped?"

Xue Zhao felt very strange, but couldn’t quite put his finger on what was peculiar.

"By the way, Ye Qingchen, I’ve already sent people to investigate the Secret Realm side. After them, it seems no one else has been to the Secret Realm." Xue Zhao said slowly.

Ye Qingchen calmly said, "Then, if that’s the case, could it be that Xiao Xiao and the others lied? I feel maybe not, maybe it’s a problem with your Xue Family?"

Xue Zhao nodded, "It’s possible. Although those people wouldn’t dare lie to me, if someone with the right intentions bypassed them, those guarding the Secret Realm naturally wouldn’t know. However, there aren’t many at the Xue Family who could bypass the guards..."

Xue Zhao seemed to have a candidate in mind, Ye Qingchen stayed silent.

"Ye Qingchen, for now, let’s set these matters aside. Don’t you want the Buddha’s Relic? Let’s go back and prepare. Once we get it, you have to help me deal with Xue Wei." Xue Zhao continued.

Ye Qingchen said, "Alright."

Anyway, these two matters are just a matter of sequence, first obtain the Buddha’s Relic, and Ye Qingchen would be free from worries.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard next to Ye Qingchen’s.

Xiao Xiao’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

At this moment, she unexpectedly saw a different scene in front of her.

Xiao Xiao somehow walked into a place.

It was pitch black here, as if at the end of the world.

There was no trace of light around, darkness wrapped everything like a giant curtain.

She reached out, trying to find some direction in the darkness, but found her hand waving before her, completely invisible.

The air was filled with a damp and decaying smell, as if no one had set foot here for a long time. The ground

was cold and slippery underfoot, each step requiring caution, fearing to step on something unknown.

Xiao Xiao could hear her own breathing and heartbeat, sounding particularly clear in this deathly silence, echoing in her ears.

The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet, with only the occasional dripping sound echoing in the darkness, each drop striking like a heavy drumbeat, pounding at Xiao Xiao’s heart.

Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but shiver, as if something cold had swept over her back.

"What exactly is this place? Is it within that Divine Sense?" Xiao Xiao rubbed her arm and looked around.

However, she didn’t see anything around her.

Xiao Xiao continued forward, each step feeling like she was exploring the depths of a dark abyss.

The wall beside her was rough and cold, covered in slippery moss. When her fingers touched it, she felt a chill penetrate her bones, as if she were touching some unknown creature.

Suddenly, her foot slipped, almost falling. Looking down, although she couldn’t see, she could feel underfoot were some soft soil and gravel. She carefully adjusted her steps, trying not to make a sound, fearing to disturb something in the darkness.

There seemed to be some movement ahead, as if something was moving in the darkness.

Xiao Xiao held her breath, listening intently, but the sound was fleeting, difficult to catch. Her heart raced, and her palms began to sweat.

Just then, a faint breeze blew from ahead, bringing a chill that made her shiver. She continued along the direction of the wind, as if it were the only guide. In the darkness, her footsteps gradually became light, but the fear within her grew stronger.

With each step she took, it felt like she was stepping into the unknown realm of darkness.

For some reason, a sense of helplessness welled up in her heart, she didn’t know how to get out, or how she got in.

She only remembered that she was just suppressing her Demonic Qi.

The scent of decay in the air grew stronger, suffocating.

Suddenly, she sensed a faint light ahead, though weak, it was enough to stir a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Xiao Xiao quickened her pace towards the faint light. Every step felt like emerging from the depths of darkness, stepping towards the shore of light.

Xiao Xiao followed that weak light, as if seeing the dawn of hope.

However, when she finally reached the end of the light, seeing the scene before her, she was stunned, standing motionless.

In that patch of faint light stood a figure. The figure was exactly like Xiao Xiao, yet completely different.

That was a completely different her!

This Xiao Xiao was shrouded in a layer of black mist, as if from another world, as if it was a darkened version of her!

Dark Xiao Xiao’s face showed no expression, eyes gleaming with red light, cold and merciless. Her skin was as white as paper, as if devoid of any color, her whole body emitting a chilly aura.

Moreover, she exuded an incredibly strong Demonic Qi!

Dark Xiao Xiao was dressed in a black long robe, which, in the darkness, enveloped her like the night, completely shrouding her body. Her hair was disheveled over her shoulders, strands intermittently entwined with wisps of black energy, seeming ready to devour her at any moment.

Xiao Xiao widened her eyes, looking incredulously at the other her standing before her. A sense of terror and confusion welled up within her, as she muttered, "Is... is this me?"

Dark Xiao Xiao coldly stared at her, the corner of her mouth slightly curling with a sneer full of mockery and taunt. Her voice was deep and icy, seemingly emerging from the depths of Hell: "Xiao Xiao, you’ve finally arrived. Are you shocked to see such a version of yourself?"

Xiao Xiao took a step back, her body involuntarily trembling. She couldn’t believe her eyes, overcome by fear and confusion: "Who... who are you? Why are you like this?"

Dark Xiao Xiao slowly approached, each step carrying a sense of oppression, the air thick with a suffocating aura.

Her gaze was as sharp as a blade, piercing straight into Xiao Xiao’s heart.
