Chapter 1873 - 1901: Entering the Ruins
Afterwards, the energy on the barrier gradually weakened. In a short time, an entrance appeared on the barrier. Lord Ba Dao stood up, looking at the middle-aged man beside him, "Zhuge, is it safe to enter now?"
The middle-aged man named Zhuge Qingsong was a ninth-level Dao Level Array Master of the Fierce Blade Sect. He was brought by Lord Ba Dao this time to help them break the formations of the Soul Devouring Clan. Zhuge Qingsong nodded, "We can go in now!"
"Alright! Let’s go!" An expression of anticipation appeared in Lord Ba Dao’s eyes as he led the group inside.
Before long, everyone passed through the barrier. As expected, this time when they crossed the barrier, they encountered no resistance, and the corrosive black mist did not appear to attack Ye Feng and the others.
Upon entering the barrier, they saw a massive city around them. The city’s houses and buildings were all in ruins, exuding a cold and eerie atmosphere throughout.
There was even a faint resentment spreading throughout the city, causing everyone’s eyes to show vigilance. Lord Ba Dao said, "Be careful. There are indeed resurrected Soul Devouring Clan members here in these ruins. The resurrected Soul Devouring Clan members are extremely hungry and will attack us madly upon sight!
Follow us closely, and never act alone. If you die, we won’t be responsible!"
"Understood!" Su Yourong and the disciples of the Green Lotus Sword Sect nodded, indicating they understood.
However, at this moment, Ye Feng suddenly walked towards a nearby house. Seeing Ye Feng’s actions, Lord Ba Dao’s eyes filled with anger as he loudly questioned, "Boy, didn’t you hear me? Didn’t I say not to act without my orders? Are you ignoring my words?"
Yet, Ye Feng completely ignored Lord Ba Dao, maintaining an incomparably calm expression without the slightest ripple.
Ye Feng approached a pile of rubble and began to push aside the stones within it.
Underneath the rubble lay a corpse, clearly belonging to a powerful member of the Dead Spirit Clan.
Ye Feng immediately released his Chaos Heavenly Fire, swiftly igniting the corpse. Seeing Ye Feng setting fire, Lord Ba Dao’s eyes filled with rage as he roared, "What are you doing? Didn’t I tell you not to act recklessly? What if you trigger some Prohibition or Formation?"
"Hiss~" But at this moment, the corpse of the Soul Devouring Clan member was instantly decomposed by Ye Feng’s Chaos Heavenly Fire, turning directly into powder, followed by the appearance of a Soul Devouring Clan crystal before Ye Feng. Ye Feng took the crystal in his hand.
"Soul Devouring Clan Crystal!" Seeing the crystal in Ye Feng’s hand, everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect Ye Feng to find the crystal left behind after the death of a powerful Soul Devouring Clan member, which was a great item for repairing soul damage and enhancing spiritual power. Ye Feng’s luck was unexpectedly good, finding one right after entering.
Long Yu and the others showed excitement in their eyes. They didn’t expect to find a Soul Devouring Clan crystal right after entering. Their mission goal this time was three Soul Devouring Clan crystals, meaning they had already completed one-third of it. Thinking of this, Long Yu and the disciples of the Green Lotus Sword Sect all showed smiles on their faces.
"Give it to me!" At this moment, Lord Ba Dao approached Ye Feng, looking at the Soul Devouring Clan crystal in Ye Feng’s hand.
Ye Feng asked calmly, "Why should I give it to you?" Lord Ba Dao replied righteously, "I told you that once we enter, you must listen to me and not wander off. You actually disobeyed my words. If you make any discoveries, you should report them to me. Consider this crystal your punishment for disobeying me, hand it over!"
"Hmm..." Ye Feng nodded, and to everyone’s surprise, Ye Feng handed over the crystal without hesitation this time.
Seeing this scene, the disciples of the Green Lotus Sword Sect felt as if they had fallen from heaven to hell in an instant. Such a good thing, and Ye Feng just so easily gave it to Lord Ba Dao.
Lord Ba Dao nodded in satisfaction, showing a smile as he said to everyone, "Alright, let’s set off!"
The group continued to walk, constantly searching in the city of the Soul Devouring Clan. This time, their luck wasn’t as good. They all tried to test their luck to see if they could find a Soul Devouring Clan crystal in the ruins like Ye Feng. However, reality proved that not everyone’s luck was that good, as three days passed.
In those three days, they didn’t find another Soul Devouring Clan crystal. That day, the group came in front of a luxurious mansion and saw the powerful formation set up around it.
Everyone knew at a glance that there must be valuable items inside the mansion.
Lord Ba Dao asked Zhuge Qingsong, "Zhuge, can you break the formation of this mansion?"
Zhuge Qingsong smiled confidently, "This is a first-level Holy Level formation. At its peak, I wouldn’t be able to break it. But now, with the formation already in ruins, it’s merely equivalent to an eighth-level Dao Level formation. Give me an hour, and I can break it!"
"Good! Then please go ahead, Senior Zhuge!" Lord Ba Dao said to Zhuge Qingsong. Then Zhuge Qingsong began breaking the formation. If it were Ye Feng doing it, it would only take a few breaths at most.
Before long, an hour had passed, and the entire mansion’s ground vibrated; the great formation instantly collapsed.
Lord Ba Dao looked at everyone coldly and said, "Listen carefully, once inside, no one is to wander off. Stay with me, and if I find anyone acting on their own or hiding things, I won’t be merciful!"
"Yes!" Everyone nodded and followed Lord Ba Dao into the Soul Devouring Clan’s mansion.
In just an hour, everyone had explored the entire mansion.
