Chapter 518: Chapter 388: Sudden Turn of Events, Ye Lingyue Disappears
"Having refined the Corrosive Soul Chain with the Qian Cauldron, Ye Lingyue, combined with the Ghost Sect Thirteen Needles, had made it possible for the Corrosive Soul Chain to divide into nine parts."
"Nine Corrosive Soul Chains, each as thick as a finger, blazed with intense flames mixed with the robust power of gold."
"As soon as the Corrosive Soul Chain appeared, the temperature in the stone chamber shot up by several degrees."
"Even Sword Slave was moved by the sight of the Corrosive Soul Chain, thinking to himself, ’What kind of weapon is that, Miss Ye has? It’s incredibly overpowering.’"
"As one of the martial arts of the Underworld Yama Palace, the Corrosive Soul Chain brought with it a storm of brutal and rampant energy."
"A flush of red also rose on Ye Lingyue’s face."
"She took a deep breath."
"Standing still, only a whooshing sound was heard!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—the Corrosive Soul Chain turned into multiple forces of fury, rushing from all directions towards the tiny Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir, crisscrossing densely in every direction."
"The nine soul chains, like nine iron dragons burrowing deep, caused stone fragments to burst inside the chamber, raining down onto the floor."
"In an instant, a net of gold and red soul chains stretched across the cave’s stone walls."
"The pitiable Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir, like a trapped turtle, shivered slightly, trying to escape in all directions."
"But as soon as it moved, the Corrosive Soul Chain began to close the net, inching closer."
""Capture!" Ye Lingyue shouted commandingly, and the numerous soul chains tightened, finally overpowering the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir, binding it securely and landing it in Ye Lingyue’s hand."
"Almost at the same moment."
"Sword Slave snorted coldly, his large hand striking down and sending Zhuge Yi flying with a single blow."
"Zhuge Yi coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, collapsing like a falling mountain, and retreated several steps, his strength exhausted, falling to the ground."
"With a face pale as death, he refused to believe that he had been defeated by Ye Lingyue and the others."
"Just as Zhuge Yi began to despair, footsteps approached from behind."
"Hong Mingyue and Luo Song, among others, hurried over."
""Grandfather!"
"Seeing Zhuge Yi collapsed on the ground, Hong Mingyue and the others were shocked, then noticed the damaged stone chamber."
"Ming Yue, you’re here just in time, that wretched woman took away the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir."
"Seeing Hong Mingyue and the others, Zhuge Yi saw a spark of hope and pointed at Ye Lingyue."
""Hand over the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir." Hong Mingyue commanded, as Yuying and others helped steady Zhuge Yi."
""Boss, found it!""
"Little Wuya found two Jade Carvings, quickly handing one to Ye Lingyue."
"Sword Slave protected Feng Xun, Lan Cai’er was pulling Little Wuya, and Little Wuya held Little Zhiyo, all standing guard next to Ye Lingyue."
"Ye Lingyue glanced at the stone carving, which had a ’three’ carved on it, then at Hong Mingyue and the others, noting that Xiahou Qi and Feng Xue were not present."
"Ye Lingyue was taken aback, worried about the life and death situation of the three."
""Ha~ If you want the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir, then come and snatch it in Cave No.3." Ye Lingyue said, winking at everyone, infusing Cauldron Breath and spiritual power into the Jade Carving of Cave No.3."
""Don’t let them escape!" Hong Mingyue exclaimed sharply."
"But in a flash of light and shadow, Ye Lingyue had already disappeared."
""How could this be?""
Feng Xun and Little Wuya, among others, were still standing in their original spot.
Everyone was stunned, only Ye Lingyue had disappeared.
"Little Wuya, what exactly is going on?" Little Wuya was also anxious, she hurriedly took out another piece of Jade Carving from her hand, that carving bore the character "five".
"Wait." Feng Xun grabbed the Jade Carving, and with a strong swipe of his fingertip, the character "five" fell off, revealing the original character beneath, which was clearly a "three".
"There is another piece of Jade Carving here." Lan Cai’er searched around, and under a bookshelf, she found a piece of Jade Carving that was originally the way to Cave No.5.
Although it was unknown why an extra Jade Carving suddenly appeared on the North Fork, there was no doubt that one of them was fake.
Who was it that, before they arrived, had already swapped that Jade Carving.
Holding the two pieces of Jade Carving in his hand, Feng Xun’s heart slowly sank, his whole body was incredibly cold, and his eyes, too, were filled with dead silence.
Hong Mingyue was also surprised by this sudden turn of events.
Ye Lingyue had disappeared, and the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir was gone too, fortunately, they were in time, and her grandfather’s life was saved.
"Let’s go." Hong Mingyue gave several wound medicines to Zhuge Yi, and after his breath had stabilized, decided to head to Cave No.3.
Lan Cai’er and others searched the spot, but found nothing.
Since Ye Lingyue disappeared, Feng Xun had been standing there all the time, holding those two stone carvings, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Sister, let’s take Prince Feng with us." Hong Yuying glanced at Feng Xun, the adoration in her eyes was very apparent.
"Take him? What can a waste do, only Ye Lingyue and you would be blind enough to treasure him." Hong Mingyue scoffed.
This man, although good looking, was unfortunately an invalid.
Saying this, Hong Mingyue, Luo Song, and others, instructed Chou Alchemist and Zhuge Yi to join forces to break the Prohibition on the Jade Carving of Cave No.3, and several members of the Daxia Delegation disappeared.
Waste... The voice of Hong Mingyue still echoed in his ears.
The fingers holding the Jade Carving clenched one by one, the veins on his pale back of the hand throbbing like earthworms.
"Eldest Miss Lan, Little Wuya, you two stay here first. I and the Sword Slave will enter Cave No.3." Feng Xun’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Prince Feng, what are you saying, you want to enter Cave No.3?" Lan Cai’er was still concerned about the safety of Ye Lingyue, but when she heard Feng Xun was entering Cave No.3, she subconsciously stunned.
Ye Lingyue was the only Alchemist among them, without her, they couldn’t think of entering Cave No.3, let alone heading to the safer Cave No.5.
"This Jade Carving can be broken not only by an Alchemist." A hint of a smile appeared on Feng Xun’s face.
That smile was starkly different from the usual ones of Feng Xun.
With a chilling tone mixed with a bit of disdain, Lan Cai’er was stunned; looking at Feng Xun again, there seemed to be a flicker of strange colors in his eyes.
Before Lan Cai’er could ponder further, Feng Xun had already shattered the split Jade Carving, and both he and the Sword Slave disappeared.
"I will bring her back."
In the stone room, only Little Wuya, Little Zhiyo, and Lan Cai’er were left, staring at each other with big eyes.
"This, everyone has left, huh?" Lan Cai’er was baffled.
Ye Lingyue had disappeared, and Feng Xun had also vanished eerily, would somebody come and tell her what she should do next?
"Sister Lan, Little Zhiyo seems to know why the boss disappeared, it said that on these Jade Carvings, there are the scents of others. That scent... it seems to be Noble Princess Consort Luo’s smell." Little Wuya was also stunned, following which Little Zhiyo in her arms cried a few times.
"Noble Princess Consort Luo! You mean that unfaithful Noble Princess Consort Luo!" Lan Cai’er exclaimed in disbelief.
How could this woman appear in Xingxiu Cave, she was already missing long ago.
That damned Jade Carving, where exactly did it take Ling Yue!
