Chapter 1876 - 1904: Soul Devouring Clan Royal Palace
Lord Ba Dao looked at Su Yourong and laughed heartily, "Junior Sister, don’t worry. Since I said we would split things seventy-thirty, that’s what we’ll do; I won’t deceive you. If we become a Daoist couple, what’s mine will be yours, right? Rest assured, these things are just temporarily in my care. Once we leave, I’ll divide them among you!"
"Alright..." Su Yourong nodded helplessly. On the surface, she agreed, but inside she wasn’t pleased at all.
Lord Ba Dao might say so now, but once they left, who knew if they would keep their word.
At this moment, Su Yourong came beside Ye Feng and used Spiritual Transmission to say, "Feng Ye, next time if you get crystals from the Soul Devouring Clan, give them directly to me, don’t let Lord Ba Dao know, okay?"
However, Ye Feng ignored Su Yourong and walked into the group. Su Yourong thought Ye Feng silently agreed and didn’t pursue the matter further, while Long Yu looked at Ye Feng displeased, using Spiritual Transmission to ask, "Feng Ye, why did you let Lord Ba Dao take the crystals? Those are yours and have nothing to do with him!"
Ye Feng’s eyes showed a cold smile as he patted Long Yu’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, what’s his is his; what’s not, isn’t. If he wants to forcefully take them, it’ll cost him his life!"
Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Long Yu felt a wave of fear for some reason and couldn’t help but shiver, choosing to trust Ye Feng. Since Ye Feng decided to do so, he must have his reasons.
The group left the Soul Devouring Clan’s tomb and returned to the square while the disciples of the Green Lotus Sword Sect felt very gloomy and displeased. In contrast, the members of the Fierce Blade Sect were quite happy, having obtained five crystals from the Soul Devouring Clan in less than ten days.
They continued to delve deeper into the Soul Devouring Clan’s ruins, with time swiftly passing by, quickly going on for three days.
That day, Ye Feng and the others arrived in front of a well-preserved and majestic building that was very peculiar. Lord Ba Dao’s eyes showed a look of anticipation, "This should be the palace of the Soul Devouring Clan!"
"The palace!" Upon hearing Lord Ba Dao’s words, everyone’s eyes showed anticipation. There must be many strong members of the Soul Devouring Clan in the palace, thus many treasures and crystals.
"Let’s go!" Lord Ba Dao and the others moved towards the palace’s doors, but at that moment, a powerful spiritual wave erupted, and three revived members of the Soul Devouring Clan charged towards them.
The spiritual aftermath created waves in the space as the three were newly revived and in a spiritual body state, moving swiftly and directly locking onto Ye Feng, rushing to attack him.
Because Ye Feng was the only Martial Artist in the team who had barely reached the mid-stage of Proof of Dao, while most others were at the later stages, like Long Yu, who also had a mid-stage Proof of Dao cultivation.
But Long Yu had Dao Patterns on his forehead, unlike Ye Feng, who kept his Dao Patterns hidden.
The three members determined Ye Feng was the weakest in the group, so they aimed to take him out first.
However, before they could touch Ye Feng, Lord Ba Dao already moved to stand in front of Ye Feng, blocking him, then drawing his Holy Level great blade and sweeping it out.
In an instant, thunder intertwined on the blade, forming a thunderous blade that tore through the Void and shattered the space, directly cutting through the spiritual bodies of the Soul Devouring Clan’s three members without Ye Feng taking any harm.
At this moment, Lord Ba Dao looked at Ye Feng and asked, "Feng Ye, are you unharmed?" With a hypocritical expression, Lord Ba Dao looked at Ye Feng, while Su Yourong couldn’t stand it, "Senior Brother Ba Dao, I will protect Ye Feng well. Next time, you don’t need to trouble yourself to intervene?" In truth, everyone knew what Lord Ba Dao was thinking.
Lord Ba Dao wasn’t genuinely helping Ye Feng out of goodwill; it was just to have a reason to take anything good Ye Feng acquired in the future; otherwise, he wouldn’t care about Ye Feng’s survival.
Lord Ba Dao laughed lightly, looking at Su Yourong, "Junior Sister Yourong, what are you talking about? Since I saw it, I won’t just ignore Junior Brother Feng Ye; he’s so weak. Although you’re strong as well, there are always moments of oversight."
Seeing Lord Ba Dao speak so righteously made Su Yourong feel quite helpless, not knowing what to say, and at this point, everyone subconsciously saw Ye Feng as the weakest in the group.
Otherwise, the revived Soul Devouring Clan members wouldn’t have attacked Ye Feng first.
The crowd continued forward, entering the palace, and upon entering, realized it wasn’t as luxurious as they had imagined, but rather very empty, with most objects unable to withstand the passage of time, becoming severely damaged, some even turning to dust.
They delved deeper into the palace, spending a day exploring, but found nothing.
At this moment, Lord Ba Dao frowned, quite anxious, and looked at Ye Feng asking, "Junior Brother Feng Ye, have you found anything?" Ye Feng nodded lightly, "No findings yet, but the Soul Devouring Clan’s architectural style generally stores important items in the north. We’ve been in the south and west since we entered, so we’ve found nothing. Why don’t we go to the north area and see; there might be some unexpected gains!"
"Alright! Let’s go, check out the north area!" Lord Ba Dao said eagerly, then the group sped up, quickly moving towards the north area of the palace, and soon Ye Feng and the others approached the palace’s north area.
Indeed, as soon as they arrived at the north area of the palace, they smelled a strong fragrance of medicinal herbs.
