Inside the canyon, the tomb was like an abyss.
Only a corner of the city gate was exposed. As for how grand and vast it was, it was still impossible to estimate. Large numbers of nether soldiers rushed out, unable to kill them all.
A few of the Great Sage's disciples had already entered. Many sects and other forces' disciples followed closely behind, killing the nether soldiers and forcing their way in.
"Thump, thump, thump …."
The war drums were like thunder, resounding in the depths of the underground palace. The nether soldiers were like a black tide, surging out continuously. Many cultivators died.
However, for the nine secrets, many forces could not retreat. Large numbers of cultivators killed their way in, brandishing their weapons to fight against the nether soldiers and nether horses.
Then, someone shot out Li Fire, burning a large area, turning the nether spirits into nothingness.
"Kill!"
Battle cries resounded everywhere. Corpses littered the ground in front of the underground palace. The nether soldiers were very brave, but many people were trampled into a bloody pulp.
Two hours later, the battle cries gradually weakened. No one knew how many people had died. The area in front of the city gate was scarlet. Flesh and blood mixed with the soil, forming a muddy area. The bloody puddles were red and unbearable to look at.
The city gate finally quieted down. The number of nether soldiers decreased sharply and could no longer be seen, no longer charging out. Most of the surviving cultivators had killed their way in.
"Everyone, are we still going in?" A cultivator's face was pale and his body was trembling slightly.
There were over a hundred people in front of the city gate, and all of them had ugly expressions. Some female cultivators were vomiting. They were not strong enough, so they had been watching from afar. Only now did they approach.
"There are not many nether soldiers left. It is most likely safe now. We can go in." Another cultivator spoke with a pale face.
"This ancient tomb is too terrifying. It is not a place we can enter freely. There will most likely be even stronger nether spirits in the depths." Someone objected.
In the end, a small number of people entered. Most of them were more rational and rushed out of the canyon, returning to the surface.
Three figures descended from the sky and arrived in front of the underground palace.
"Dao Leader Duan, are you going in?" Ji Ziyue asked.
"Wait a while more." Duan De was very calm and not in a hurry at all.
Ye Fan smiled. "Aren't you afraid that the nine secrets will be obtained by others?"
"Aren't you in no hurry? Good things can't be rushed. Even if they go in first, they might not be able to get it." Duan De was very calm.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the underground palace shook violently, and the Yin Qi inside became even denser. Many cultivators cried out in alarm, followed by battle cries.
Duan De's expression changed as he said, "I knew it wouldn't be that simple. The truly powerful things have just appeared."
Muffled roars and intense fighting ensued. The depths of the underground palace were in chaos, and miserable cries could be heard everywhere.
"Are you sure that this is the mausoleum of that ancient family? Why do I feel that something is off?" Ye Fan asked.
"Something is very wrong. There are too many Yin Spirits. These things need a very long time to be born." Duan De frowned.
Another hour passed, and the depths of the underground palace finally quieted down. The roars disappeared, and not long after, someone staggered out.
Their hair was disheveled, their faces pale, and they were all heavily injured. Many of them had terrifying claw marks on their bodies, and some of them even had their arms torn off.
"How was it inside? What did you guys encounter?" Duan De moved forward with a simple and honest look, and asked with concern.
"Damn it, don't mention it. It's a ghost's nest with malicious spirits everywhere. The deeper we go, the more powerful the things we encounter."
"I don't know which bastard discovered this great tomb and dug out the Yellow Springs water. What bullshit Nine Secrets, I lost an arm because of you." A large man continuously cursed as he staggered away.
Duan De rubbed his nose and didn't say anything.
In just a short quarter of an hour, many people rushed out of the underground palace. They were all people who wanted to retreat and didn't want to take any more risks.
"Alright, it's time for us to go in. If we don't go in, there won't be anything left." Duan De decided to move.
Ye Fan said, "This poor Daoist doesn't want to go in. This place isn't good, and there probably won't be any Nine Secrets."
Ji Ziyue also stopped in her tracks. If her brother couldn't deal with the things inside, it was useless for her to go in. She felt that it was more appropriate to ask the elders for help.
"In that case, this poor Daoist will get the Nine Secrets alone." Duan De flashed and disappeared into the city gate.
"Little Daoist, you should leave this place as soon as possible." Ji Ziyue thought for a moment, then flew out of the canyon and rushed into the distance.
This place was too dangerous. Even if he wanted to fish in troubled waters, he probably wouldn't be able to get anything. The Yin spirits were endless, so Ye Fan didn't act rashly and continued to wait outside.
Suddenly, the figure of a big dog entered his eyes. The Black Emperor was like a lone wolf as it scuttled down the steep terrain from the canyon.
Not only had Ye Fan changed his appearance, but even his origin had changed. For example, his smell. Even if it was a dog spirit, it wouldn't be able to tell that it was him by smell.
"Black Emperor … Over here!"
Hearing the call, the big black head was shocked and bared its teeth as it looked over.
"It's me. Don't make a sound. Use your spiritual will to transmit your voice." Ye Fan didn't expect that it would come here. His originally peaceful mind became active again. This guy could even break the restriction of a great expert. If he entered the underground palace with it, he would most likely have a certain chance of success.
The big black dog's face darkened, and he said, "I was just about to look for you. I accompanied you to the Immortal Palace to save people, but in the end, I didn't even get anything. I worked hard for you for nothing."
"Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?!"
"F * ck …" The big black dog was so angry that he almost couldn't pounce over.
Ye Fan transmitted his voice, "Don't be angry. That old demon was clearly sealed in your divine bell. How could you not get the ancient scripture?"
"That disaster has temporarily merged with my divine bell. I can't refine it, so I can't get the ancient scripture at all." The big black dog was very depressed.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "That's easy. When Pang Bo comes out in the future, I'll ask him to take you in as the Mountain Guardian Divine Beast and teach you the supreme ancient scripture."
The big black dog's expression was unfriendly, and he said, "Brat, do you believe that if I shout that the Source Root of All Things is here, a group of people will rush over and tear you to pieces?"
"Forget it, we're two grasshoppers on the same rope. Let's not fight over anything. Let's enter the underground palace together and see what benefits we can get."
"You want me to help you break the restriction, right?" The big black dog looked as if he had seen through him.
Ye Fan's expression was calm, and he said, "This is a ghost nest. I'm letting you in because I want you to get some benefits. There are most likely no restrictions that can be broken."
"If you want me to help, just say it. Don't make it seem like I need to thank you." The big black dog bared his teeth.
"I want to ask you, can you carve a dao pattern that can allow you to travel through space?" Ye Fan looked at him seriously.
The big black dog said proudly, "Who am I? I'm number one in this world, and there is no dao pattern that I can't carve. As long as you can provide me with the origin, I can even send you to the middle state. "
"Really?" Ye Fan was tempted.
"Of course it's real."
Ye Fan's eyes lit up, and he urged, "Then let's not waste time talking. Hurry up and carve it now. I don't need it to be able to travel millions of miles. As long as it can travel 1,000 miles, we can use it as a path of retreat later."
"Carving this kind of thing requires special materials. Do you have a Profound Jade Platform?" the big black dog asked, rolling his eyes.
"I've collected some." Ye Fan tossed out a large piece that was several meters long. It was black and translucent, and shone with a sparkling and translucent luster.
There was another reason why he didn't enter the underground palace. The Great Sage was determined to obtain the Nine Secrets, so those grand elders had definitely come. They were most likely guarding outside and sealing off this place.
Now that the Black Emperor was here, if he could carve a dao pattern that could allow him to travel through space, it would be equivalent to helping him resolve this hidden worry.
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Fan and the big black dog entered the underground palace. Of course, they didn't walk together. They walked one after the other, and the big black dog transformed into a two-foot-long dog to avoid being recognized.
This underground world was extremely vast. The deep underground palace connected together, and it was unknown where it led to. It didn't seem like a great tomb, but more like a large underground castle.
Along the way, they saw many corpses. Occasionally, one or two ghost soldiers would charge out, but this couldn't stop Ye Fan. After all, it wasn't a charge of thousands of soldiers.
"When we go in later, pay more attention to a fat Taoist priest. No, he changed his appearance, it's like this …" Ye Fan transmitted his voice to the big black dog.
"You mean, you want me to bite him at the crucial moment and snatch the treasure?" The big black dog looked at him sideways, and said, "You still have the nerve to ask me to do such a stupid thing?"
"Actually, if possible, I'm willing to bite him myself, but my teeth aren't sharp, so I can't compare to you. That bastard will definitely find the treasure. As long as you keep an eye on him, I guarantee you'll return with great rewards. "
This ancient tomb was magnificent, like an underground palace. The stone pillars were coiled with dragons, and the tomb walls were carved with phoenixes. It was very exquisite, and the underground palace was connected one after another.
"Meow …" Suddenly, a mournful cat's cry sounded out. A black light rushed out from a stone hall, pouncing towards Ye Fan, as fast as black lightning.
This was a giant creature, five or six meters long, and its sharp claws were more than a foot long. It looked like a big black cat, but its body was covered with scales. It was strong and powerful, and its teeth were like daggers, shining with a cold light.
Ye Fan punched out, and the big black cat was shattered. Apart from turning into a thick yin qi, there was also a pool of dirty blood left behind.
The Black Emperor revealed a dignified expression, and said, "The yin body produced blood. This place is really fierce. I'm afraid it has been sealed for 10,000 to 20,000 years."
After going several miles deeper into the underground palace, Ye Fan became more and more startled. He saw a giant spectral soldier that was over a dozen meters tall. It had transformed into flesh and blood, but half of its body had been cut off, as if it had been wounded by the Great Desolate Halberd.
Moments later, Qin Ye saw dozens of Yin soldiers with scales all over their bodies, and there were many shattered Dao-Palace-grade weapons lying around them.
They looked as if they had been burned, and half of their bodies were missing. This was very similar to the Alkaid Saint Son's Saint Light Technique.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Yellow waters surged. A great river passed through the underground palace, rushing forwards. The yellow water made one's heart palpitate, and a rancid smell filled the air.
Before long, Ye Fan saw many golden-clothed spectral soldiers. They shined with a brilliant light and their complexions were ruddy, as if they had a life of their own. However, they had already been killed.
Then, they saw several massive piles of bones. Giant snakes moved in and out of them, all of them fierce and vicious. Then, they saw a lake of blood. There were also life forms swimming in it, but they seemed to be afraid of the people in front of them and didn't rush over.
After advancing for a total of over a dozen miles, they finally arrived at the end of the underground palace. The scenery here had completely changed.
The yin aura had been swept away, and the area ahead was brightly lit. It was incomparably bright.
There was a jade palace that was located at the end of the underground palace. It was extremely holy, and rays of auspicious colors bloomed, and rays of multicolored light shot out in all directions.
The surroundings were lush green, and there were actually many strange flowers and plants growing in this underground world.
"This is really strange. I thought it was a ghost nest, but in the end, it's a palace that's blooming with holy light." Ye Fan was slightly surprised.
These buildings were golden in color, but they were almost translucent. They were like gold and spirit jade, and they were extremely magnificent.
When the large black dog saw this scene, he was given a huge fright, and said, "F * ck, could this emperor have seen wrongly? Such holy power … could it be that they want to become a Martial Emperor through corpses?!"
"Ji Haoyue, the Little Golden-Winged Peng King, the Jiang Clan divine body, and the people from the various Holy Lands have all entered. I wonder what they will discover." There was a divine light in Ye Fan's eyes.
