Chapter 256: Mysterious Death

Outside the entrance of the underground palace, each of the five Sea Transformation Realm disciples had expressions of reluctance, but they were helpless.

М

They had no choice but to tremble and follow the commander of the Imperial Guard into the underground palace.

A quarter of an hour later, the two demon saints were also forced to enter the underground palace, followed by the other eight saints. The fourth prince was left to guard the entrance to the underground palace.

Ye Liuyun raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. "This is a sheep left to guard the wolf! This unlucky guy!" However, he did not rush to take action, but waited for a quarter of an hour before approaching the fourth prince.

The fourth prince didn't notice him until he was thirty feet away from him.

"The blood-armored man..." The fourth prince screamed, and then said quickly: "Don't kill me, I'll leave right away!"

Ye Liuyun, however, flashed his golden eyes and directly pulled his soul into his own thunder and fire realm.

"Fourth Prince, don't leave in a hurry? Aren't you looking for me everywhere?" A golden-armored spirit of Ye Liuyun appeared in front of the Fourth Prince.

"Ye Liuyun? Why is it you?" The fourth prince cried out in horror. He subconsciously took two steps back, but was hit by a blood thunder, splitting his soul almost to pieces.

"ah!"

He screamed and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"I have never made a move against you before! As long as you let me go, I will promise you anything! I can even recognize you as my master and be willing to be your slave!"

He also knew that Ye Liuyun would not let him go if he didn't speak harshly.

"Huh? Is this the character of the royal family? Why didn't you think of this day when you were chasing me? It's a pity, I don't need a weakling like you by my side." The golden-armored soul said and began to devour his soul.

But Ye Liuyun devoured it very slowly. Seeing his soul being devoured bit by bit, this kind of psychological torture made the prince collapse on the spot, and even his soul fainted from fear.

"Humph! Turns out he is a loser! He pretends to be a human being!"

Ye Liuyun snorted coldly and stopped wasting time with him. He directly absorbed all his soul, collected his storage ring, and then took Lei Ming into the underground palace.

Inside the underground palace, the smell of death was even stronger. The passage was winding around, and there was no end in sight. The patterns on the palace walls were all painted with various scenes of hell, which looked extremely strange.

Before they had walked far, Lei Ming raised his nose and sniffed, telling Ye Liuyun that there was a smell of blood not far ahead, and someone must have died not long ago. But Ye Liuyun found nothing. His consciousness had expanded as much as possible, but he could only detect a range of a hundred feet.

It was not until he walked a distance that his consciousness discovered that there was a square hall in front of him, with a coffin in the hall. The lid of the coffin had been opened, and the coffin was empty.

The female disciple of the ninth level of Huahai of Shuiyue Palace fell against the wall and was already dead. She died very strangely. There was a wound on her neck, and there was a little blood on the sword in her hand. Judging from the posture, it looked more like suicide!

The female disciple's soul had been devoured, her eyes were wide open, and her pupils were dilated. It seemed that she had seen something terrifying before she died!

Her storage ring was still there, and it didn't look like she was killing someone to steal the treasure.

When he got closer, Lei Ming also went to smell the blood on her sword.

"She really committed suicide. It was her own blood!" Lei Ming said in disbelief.

"If there is danger later, you must return to the storage ring as soon as possible! This is very likely an attack from the soul." Ye Liuyun immediately told Lei Ming. He thought that this female disciple might have been hit by some terrible illusion.

He had the Ten Thousand Gods Order, so he was not afraid of such an attack at all, and he also had a skeleton puppet to ensure his own safety. Lei Ming also knew that he couldn't drag Ye Liuyun down at this time, so he agreed immediately.

Ye Liuyun carefully checked the coffin. There was no trace inside, as if it was originally empty, and no one had ever been lying inside.

Looking at this place again, there was nothing else except this coffin, so Ye Liuyun had to keep moving forward.

His golden pupils dared not rest for a moment now. He had seen through more than twenty layers of palace walls, but there were still endless palace walls in front of him, as if there was no end.

Moreover, this is not an illusion, because the Ten Thousand Gods Order is normal and there is no reaction to being attacked. There is no fork in the middle of the passage, only one road that turns around, which means that this is not a maze.

They took the storage ring of the female disciple and checked it, but found nothing unusual.

After walking for a while, they came to an identical hall, and another disciple of the ninth level of Huahai died here. But there was no blood.

The same soul was devoured, and the eyes were terrified.

Ye Liuyun used his consciousness to carefully explore this space, and did not find even a trace of the soul of the dead. Logically speaking, even if the soul dissipated automatically, it would not be possible to dissipate so cleanly in such a short time.

"Either their souls were directly taken away, or they were frightened to death and then their souls were taken away!"

Ye Liuyun was sure that the souls of these people must have been taken away.

The same was true inside the coffin, there was no trace at all, and the lid of the coffin seemed to have just been opened.

Lei Ming also asked curiously: "If there is a ghost in the coffin, then they were fooled last time and one person died. How could they be so stupid to open the lid?"

Ye Liuyun nodded after hearing this. "Either there is a treasure in the coffin that is very tempting to them, or the lid was opened by itself, not by them."

Ye Liuyun went to check the lid again, but found that there was no sign of violent damage inside or outside.

Then he shook his head and said: "Let's go, there will always be a moment when the truth will come out."

So the two of them also sped up.

Every time they walked a distance, they would encounter a hall. And there would be a corpse in the hall, the death was the same, and the situation of the coffin was the same. They picked up a lot of storage rings along the way.

When Ye Liuyun saw that the demon saint was also dead, he found that the demon's eyes were also full of fear.

Ye Liuyun took off his storage ring while whispering: "What can scare a demon?"

Lei Ming also asked: "They have lost so many people, have you ever thought of turning back?"

Ye Liuyun was suddenly startled and hurriedly took Lei Ming back, but this time, after walking around, he returned to the room where the demon died.

Lei Ming was also a little worried!

"It seems that this should be a formation. We have only one way to go to the end!"

Ye Liuyun made up his mind. Since he couldn't get out, he would go to the end to see what was causing the trouble.

Then, Ye Liuyun almost used the Lingkong Jue to run in the underground palace. After passing by another demon corpse, he slowed down.

Because his golden pupil had already seen through the palace wall and found the saint moving forward.

Ye Liuyun followed them forward again, and only kept the same pace as them after his spiritual sense could detect them.

However, they all looked serious and silent. This time, before entering the hall, they all stopped, looked at each other, and then mustered up the courage to walk in.

Ye Liuyun also stopped.

He found that the lid of the coffin in the hall was closed. He wanted to stop and see what would happen.
