The Solitary Sword Demon was speechless.
And Keke who was looking all around on Xiao Chen's shoulder, when it heard the two words' Ancestral Dragon ', its pair of quick-witted big eyes immediately opened perfectly round. It waved its little paw with all its might, it was not convinced at all.
"Why is the village so deserted?"
Xiao Chen noticed that even though there were seventy to eighty families, he only saw three to five people after entering the village.
"Although there are a lot of houses, the population is getting lesser and lesser. Until now, there are less than thirty people in the entire village."
The old woman heaved a long sigh.
Just at this time, a white-haired and white-bearded elder floated into the courtyard like a specter. This was an old Psychic.
"Fourth grandpa … …"
The little fatty called out foolishly.
The old man responded, then he knitted his brows and said, "Not good, that evil spirit came into being again, I found his trail."
"What evil spirit?"
The Solitary Sword Demon asked.
"An ancient evil spirit, it has lived for countless years, it is the only terrifying evil spirit that escaped from the ghost town."
The old man's words immediately made Xiao Chen's heart turn cold, he thought of the old ghost that went through several transformations in the snowy mountain, it seemed to have followed him here … …
The evil spirit had existed for countless years, it escaped from the ghost town, it actually originated from the ancient era. This news was really terrifying, it made people shudder with fear.
Back then, this village was not located here, it was located in a valley with even more beautiful scenery. It was only because they found a few dozen sarcophagi when they were digging the earth to build the foundation that they moved to this place.
Not even three months later, an evil spirit appeared. The nightmare of the village began from then on. They were like livestock in a pen, one or two of them would go missing from time to time. The villagers all knew it was the evil spirit that took away those people's lives.
The old woman's ancestors also tried to resist before, they also tried to think of a way to eliminate the evil spirit, but they all ended in failure. Furthermore, it attracted an even more terrifying revenge. To them, that was an unforgettable period of darkness.
As the old woman slowly narrated, Xiao Chen and the Solitary Sword Demon's expression became grave. That terrifying evil spirit appeared on the dragon island again, it would pose a great threat to their lives. The old woman heaved a sigh, as if she just woke up from a nightmare, a few more wrinkles appeared on her aged face.
During those dark times, the old woman's ancestors discovered the remains of several even more ancient villages on the dragon island. There were some records left behind in those desolate ancient villages. Only then did they know that the evil spirit was an ancient dead spirit. It was the only evil spirit that escaped from the ghost town, it was not something they could contend against.
One could imagine that there were people trapped on the dragon island at different times. The deaths of these people were all related to the Murderous Ghost, so they more or less left some clues.
In ancient legends, there were some ominous ghosts that could make even the gods uneasy. They could seize the vitality of the human world, allowing their ghostly bodies to continuously transform and return to the sun. Such ominous spirits were called devils. The records left behind in those dilapidated and desolate ancient villages verified this legend. It was obvious that the evil spirits on the island were demons.
Fortunately, the malicious ghosts did not wreak havoc for long, only a year. Once the time passed, he would find a deserted place and fall into a deep sleep. Only after a few hundred years would he undergo a metamorphosis and break out of the coffin again to absorb Yang energy.
The old woman's ancestors had already experienced two ghost tribulations, it could even be said that the human population had withered away. If they were to experience another ghost tribulation, then the remaining twenty to thirty people would not be enough to satisfy the demon's needs. It was obvious that they would be completely wiped out.
"Doesn't that mean we are dead for sure?"
Even though the Solitary Sword Demon asked like this, he did not have the slightest hint of fear. He was a cold-hearted person, he was truly a cruel and unyielding person.
"According to some records discovered later on, we only have one chance now."
The old woman took a sip of tea to moisten her dry lips and said, "The three months after his rebirth is his weakest period. Only during this period of time can we fight him. Otherwise, after this period of time, he will be invincible. We will not be able to contend against him at all. He is truly a devil in name and in reality."
The demon had already gone through dozens of metamorphoses, it was reasonable to say that he had already reached the realm of perfection a long time ago. He had become an existence that could even make the gods tremble. However, the dragon island was sealed by the divine monolith, the demon was unable to break through the shackles. He was firmly suppressed at the realm of demigod, and he didn't dare to take the risk to break through. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire. The dragon island did not allow the existence of god level power.
Among the five major realms, Exuvia, Historia, Zephyr, Nirvana, and Immortalis, the realm of Zephyr could be considered as the realm of demigods. The difference between the strength of the practitioners on the island and the demon was very obvious.
"Three months? I'm afraid we don't have that much time … … "
Xiao Chen told them everything he saw and heard in the snowy mountain.
The old woman and the old man were horrified, they revealed a terrified expression. The old woman said, "He … … already metamorphosed a long time ago? If that's the case, it might have already been one or two months, it seems like we … … don't even have one month left. "
The old man also went to the vicinity of the snowy mountain to collect snow lotus, only then did he discover the aura left behind by the malicious spirit. However, he didn't discover those three ice coffins.
Xiao Chen lowered his voice and said, "Is there a birthmark on his left wrist?"
"According to legend … … yes!"
"That's not good, when I came here, it seems like … … that guy had already followed me all the way here."
This information from Xiao Chen was like a comet crashing into the calm sea, it set off a huge wave in everyone's heart. Their expression changed miserably, they felt a chill running down their spines as they quickly swept their gaze all around.
The scene became silent, it was deathly quiet.
Only Keke didn't seem to care in the slightest as she sized up the surroundings with her pair of quick-witted big eyes.
Xiao Chen lowered his voice and said, "He is so powerful, don't tell me we can't rely on other forces to deal with him? A few days ago, the Dragon Clan displayed extraordinary great divine abilities! "
This was a suggestion, and also an inquiry. Why did the dragons suddenly regain their former strength during those few days? Even now, he was still confused. He knew nothing about the mysterious ghost town.
"Ghost town … … ghost town!"
The old man heaved a light sigh and said, "Everything is because of the ghost town. Think about it, all the demons escaped from there."
The old man didn't explain too much, as a matter of fact, they were also unclear, all the information they obtained was passed down by their ancestors. Every few hundred years, after the dragon island was temporarily unsealed, the dragons would temporarily regain their divine ability on the day of the Ghost Festival. After that, they would attack the ghost town in order to destroy the divine monolith. As for the ultimate secret, outsiders had no way of knowing.
As for the Brass Eight Trigrams, the jet-black metal engravings, the golden divine halberd, and other legendary sacred tools, they also didn't know which area of the dragon island they were hidden in. The mysterious dragon island hid a lot of secrets, even if they tried their best to dig, it would be hard to find out everything. This place seemed to be hiding a gargantuan secret.
"The divine monolith of the dragon island should be the key clue … …"
The Solitary Sword Demon muttered to himself.
"The calamity is so sudden, the calamity has arrived once again."
The old woman's aged face became even older as she said, "There is a bizarre power on the dragon island that is suppressing the divine power. Even though it is mainly aimed at the dragons, the other races are also greatly affected. Since the time of our ancestors, no matter how talented they were, it would be hard for them to advance any further after reaching the Third Celestial Layer of Historia. "
It was very obvious that the people on the dragon island didn't have enough power to fight against the demon.
Just at this time, the sound of something piercing through the air transmitted from the village entrance. Everyone could clearly see a few resplendent sword-qi rushing into the sky. At the same time, a series of angry shouts transmitted over, as well as the loud noise of buildings collapsing. Following that, a miserable shriek transmitted over, and then an ear-splitting dragon roar resounded.
The old woman, the old man, Xiao Chen, the Solitary Sword Demon, and the little fatty rushed out of the courtyard at lightning speed, and rushed towards the village entrance.
They could only see a few corpses that were torn apart at the village entrance. Blood was flowing out unceasingly, it was scattered among the collapsed houses. A girl was shrouded in colorful mist, her body was currently trembling slightly, and then she spat out a mouthful of blood. She was clearly injured just now. The Amethyst Dragon King was accompanying her, it also had some injuries on its body, there were some scales and dragon blood on the ground.
The old woman and the others had a sorrowful expression on their face, they pieced the corpses together on the ground, then they sized up the girl shrouded in colorful mist and the Amethyst Dragon King.
"Could this be a Dragon King?"
"Yes."
"What happened just now?"
It must be mentioned that the girl shrouded in colorful mist was very mysterious, Xiao Chen had met her a few times already, but he was never able to see her true appearance. Her body was always lingering in multicolored mist, she seemed otherworldly and incomparably mysterious.
"Just now, a person with a very heavy yin aura arrived at this place … …"
Following the narration of the girl shrouded in colorful mist, everyone quickly deduced that it was that evil spirit! Even though he was still in a weakened state, he was still terrifyingly powerful. The three people at the village entrance were torn apart by him in an instant, and the girl who could control the law of time was also seriously injured. If not for the Amethyst Dragon King's blood accidentally piercing through that evil spirit at the most crucial moment, she would have also been torn apart in a split second.
"The Dragon King's blood can actually restrain him, this is really a good news to be happy about."
The old woman's orange peel-like wrinkled cheeks trembled, it was easy to tell that she was really excited. However, it also seemed a little terrifying, the wrinkled cheeks were almost spasming. She laughed with a "ga ga" sound and said, "This is really a great news, this might be the only way for us to defeat him. We only knew that the blood of the nine Dragon Kings mixed together can lift our curse, but we never thought it could also restrain the evil spirit, ga ga ga … … "
