The ground trembled and the stone coffin shook violently as well. Slowly, it tilted and slid into a pitch-black crack, falling down.
A moment later, the stone coffin fell into the water with a plop and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Gigantic rocks rolled and dust filled the air.
The skies collapsed and the earth caved in!
After an unknown period of time, the tremors finally subsided. The place was already reduced to ruins without any signs of life.
In the middle of the ruins, there was a gigantic gap. It was pitch black below and no one knew where it led to.
The night was dark and a gentle breeze blew away the dust on the ruins.
Not far away from the ruins, four figures stood.
To be precise, there were five of them!
One of them was hidden in the night, extremely blurry and difficult to identify – it was the Thousand-faced Assassin.
The five fiend heirs looked at the ruins not far away with flickering gazes and lingering fear.
When the wind blew, the five of them felt a chill on their bodies. It was only then that they realized that their clothes were already drenched in sweat.
Hundreds of cultivators from the seven fiend sects came for this trip. The fiend heirs were all gathered for the sake of the inheritance – it could be said to be a rare clash between the younger generation of the fiend sects.
However, none of them expected that the journey of inheritance would turn into a killing fest. Not only did they not obtain the inheritance, it almost turned into a killing fest!
Of the hundreds of fiend sect cultivators, only the five of them survived.
The fiend heir of Malevolent Earth Sect was slain by the unknown green-robed cultivator. Demoness Ji did not manage to escape either and was buried in the ruins – there was no way she could survive.
If not for the fact that the terrain changed too much and the ancient spirit lock formation lost its effect, the five of them might not have been able to escape.
The five of them had conflicted expressions and remained silent.
The ruins were created by that terrifying skeleton.
However, for some reason, the green-robed cultivator of unknown origins left the deepest impression on everyone.
To be fair, if not for the fact that the green-robed cultivator had crushed the skeleton's heart at the final moment, they would have suffered the same outcome and died from having their essence blood sucked dry by the skeleton.
"Who was that person?"
A long time later, Pang Yue suddenly asked.
Shangguan Yu shook his head. "He should be someone from the immortal sects. There are only a few immortal sects that specialize in melee combat. That person's bloodline contains the power of thunder. I'm guessing that he's a legacy disciple of Zephyr Thunder Palace."
"What a pity."
Pang Yue smacked his lips as a look of pity flashed through his eyes.
Not only was Pang Yue not discouraged by his defeat at the hands of Su Zimo, but his fighting spirit was even stronger.
His strength was far stronger than Su Zimo's.
Su Zimo's consecutive killing moves did not manage to truly injure Pang Yue's tendons, bones and essence qi – it was clear how strong and terrifying his physique was!
The reason he was defeated was that he had underestimated his opponent, allowing Su Zimo to seize the initiative and suppress him until the end, making it difficult for him to make a comeback.
Pang Yue believed that he would definitely not lose if the two of them fought again!
Now that Su Zimo was dead, Pang Yue could not help but sigh because he had lost the chance to defeat the latter.
In reality, Pang Yue was not the only one. The other four demon heirs were also fuming.
After all, there was an ancient spirit restriction array here, and everyone's spirit energy was restricted, so they couldn't use their strength at all.
In the eyes of the crowd, the Malevolent Earth Sect heir had died an unjust death.
"It's a pity that he's dead. Otherwise, we would definitely be able to meet him in the ancient battlefield in the future. At that time, we'll let him witness the methods of Cloud Rain Sect!" Shangguan Yu harrumphed softly.
"What's the point of saying all that?"
The Illusion Fiend Cult heir flicked his sleeves and left, saying coldly, "I'm leaving. See you in the ancient battlefield!"
The thousand-faced assassin flashed and vanished from the spot.
In the blink of an eye, the five demon heirs left one after another and peace returned to the ruins.
Before long, a voluptuous figure with seductive curves descended on the ruins. She was beautiful and exuded a mature aura, as though she could evoke the most primitive desires in the depths of one's heart.
That woman was the chief steward of Sky Treasure Auction House, Gu Xi!
"What exactly happened?" Gu Xi's expression was grave as she softly muttered.
"Swoosh!"
Gu Xi stood above the ruins in midair and a terrifying energy fluctuation burst forth from her glabella. She released her massive spirit consciousness and searched the ruins carefully, not wanting to miss a single trace.
"Nothing?"
Frowning, Gu Xi looked at the bottomless ravine beneath her and hesitated for a moment before descending.
Before long, Gu Xi arrived above a river.
Gu Xi searched the surroundings once more but to no avail. Her gaze landed on the river not far away.
Releasing her spirit consciousness once more, Gu Xi sent it into the depths of the river to investigate.
A moment later, Gu Xi's expression changed and she retracted her spirit consciousness.
At the bottom of the river, she saw a pitch-black shadow flowing into the distance.
If she was not wrong, that should be the undercurrent of the river.
The undercurrent at the bottom of the river was extremely powerful, and the current was very fast. Anything that fell into the undercurrent would be taken away, and no one knew where it would be taken to.
It would naturally stop there once it escaped from the undercurrent of the river.
"Yan 'er, where are you?"
The beautiful figure vanished, leaving behind a soft sigh.
Not long after Gu Xi left, deep within the rubble beside the river, the pitch-black eye sockets of a skeleton shone with a sinister sanguine light!
…
Although Su Zimo and Demoness Ji were hiding in the stone coffins, the moment the coffins fell into the river, the two of them received quite a bit of impact.
"Ugh!"
"Ah!"
Su Zimo grunted and Demoness Ji cried out in pain.
The two voices sounded in the cramped stone coffin in a rather strange manner.
Su Zimo felt a sharp pain in his chest. The sudden impact caused his tendons and bones to crack and he gasped as though he was about to fall apart.
Previously, Demoness Ji's arm was cut by Shangguan Yu and it was considered a light injury. Initially, it was no longer bleeding after bandaging.
However, the impact caused the wound to rupture once more and she frowned in pain.
Although they were separated by the thick stone coffin, she could still sense the flow of the river outside.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
No matter what, they managed to escape. As long as they waited for the stone coffin to sink to the bottom of the river, the two of them would be able to break out.
All of a sudden!
Suddenly, the stone coffin was pulled by an external force and instead of sinking, it rolled forward.
The change was extremely sudden and the two people in the stone coffin were caught off guard as they collided.
Both of them were flustered and retreated instinctively. However, they did not have much space in the cramped stone coffin.
After this incident, the atmosphere in the sarcophagus suddenly became a little strange. The temperature seemed to be rising, and it was a little hot.
In the darkness, the two of them panted slightly and faced each other without speaking.
Su Zimo turned his head and turned slightly.
He had yet to absorb the bloodline essence in his body and his body was still slightly swollen. That movement was fine but he accidentally bumped into Demoness Ji again.
Sensing a smooth tenderness, Su Zimo stopped moving hurriedly and froze on the spot motionlessly.
