Ye Yuan said it simply. Actually, opening up a hole in this grand array was not what the average person could accomplish.
This grand array was extremely profound and fitted together perfectly with the surrounding environment. It was extremely hard to be detected.
If Ye Yuan did not study the Array Formations Three Volumes, he might really not have the ability to crack it.
Ye Yuan already detected the grand array on that day. After returning, he prepared several array flags for the sake of today's array cracking use.
"The matter brooks no delay. Take the chance that the time of the day is still early; let's enter the boneyard earlier. Daytime's yang qi is extremely flourishing. Even if zombies hide underground, their strengths are greatly weakened too. It's precisely the opportune moment for us to infiltrate." Ye Yuan said.
Everyone naturally did not have any objections and entered the boneyard from the entrance of the hole.
After everybody disappeared, two figures appeared from goodness knows where, and stood at the entrance of the hole.
The two people were covered up in black clothes all over their bodies. Their faces could not be seen clearly at all.
"Je je … These guys really have no idea of death or danger, to actually dare enter the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array," one of them said.
"Them entering the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array is just nice having a little more blood to offer up as a sacrifice to the Lord Fiendgod! Another half a month's time, and we should be able to borrow the power of the corpse tide to thoroughly crack the grand array." The other person said.
"I didn't think that this White Valiant Region actually still had such a capable person! That Crimson Afterglow boy isn't simple!"
"That boy is indeed quite peculiar. But doesn't matter, he's going to die soon, either way."
Chapter 832 - Yin Wind Lair
The party followed the long corridor, walking deep underground.
Waves of yin wind howled over in the corridor. That bone-piercing feeling was practically on the verge of freezing everyone.
This place was akin to an underground city. Not far away from where everyone was, there were even quite a number of zombies moving about aimlessly. The entire scene appeared incomparably horrifying.
But these zombies were clearly very fearful of this group of people, all avoiding them like the plague.
"This hellhole, no wonder it would cause such a large-scale corpse tide. If it keeps blowing like this, I feel like I'm going to be turned into a zombie!"
In the dark, no idea who was the one who cursed either.
"All thanks to Young Lord Ye's Agarwood Powder. These zombies seeing us is like they saw ghosts, avoiding us immediately! Otherwise, who knows how many bitter fights we'd have to experience going underground!"
"Pooh! You're the ghost! Your whole family members are all ghosts! Do you know how to talk or not?"
Although the spectacle was quite harrowing, these martial artists all loosened up a little when they saw that it was not too dangerous either. They even cracked jokes.
The jesting dialogue incurred a wave of loud laughters too.
"Young Lord, apart from zombies in this place, it's still zombies. Where do we start?" Wu Siyuan suddenly opened his mouth to ask.
Ye Yuan said, "Here are all low-level zombies. The source must be in deeper areas. We just have to care about walking towards the depths. We'll definitely be able to discover a little something. But before this, we have to find a yin wind lair first to let Elder Sister Cai Yue absorb extreme yin qi. Elder Sister Cai Yue, you're very s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e towards perceiving extreme yin qi and should be able to find a yin wind lair, right?"
Cai Yue was currently trembling all over. She was clearly not very used to the gloomy and cold environment here.
Her Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique loves places with strong yang qi the most. She was very s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to this kind of gloomy and cold places.
It was precisely because so that this kind of physique did not dare to come into contact with the boneyard, this sort of land of extreme yin. Yet, Ye Yuan acted in a diametrically opposite way. Not only did he bring Cai Yue in, he even wanted to make her absorb the extreme yin qi.
Cai Yue nodded her head when she heard that. Pointing to a passageway, she said, "Carry on walking another 10 miles or so in that direction, there should be a yin wind lair."
"Alright then, we'll walk in that direction," Ye Yuan said.
"Heh, the chilly air on this Elder Sister's body is so heavy, you're actually still using extreme yin qi to treat it. Ye Yuan, are you helping her or harming her? This Elder Sister, our Cloud Watchtower Holy Land has a high-rank Alchemy Venerable powerhouse; he's definitely much stronger compared to this brat. As long as Elder Sister is willing, Younger Brother is willing to invite him to take action and help treat Elder Sister!" said Wei Cheng who suddenly moved closer to Cai Yue.
Wei Cheng did not know what illness Cai Yue had and was also unaware of Cai Yue's 'black widow' title. But he indeed had his breath taken away by Cai Yue's looks and seductiveness.
Even though Cai Yue's age was slightly older, she emitted the lingering charm of a m.a.t.u.r.e woman from head to toe. Forget about Wei Cheng, a young lad brimming with vigor and vitality, even those Phaseless Realm elders, each and every one of them was also unable to hide their covetous eyes.
In this boneyard, Cai Yue's body was incomparably frail. How could she still emit seductiveness like normally?
But her condition at present could stir up men's d.e.s.i.r.e to protect even more.
Hearing Wei Cheng's words, Cai Yue forced a smile and said, "Thank you for Young Lord Wei's good intentions. But this lowly one's illness, I'm afraid only Young Lord Ye can treat it. Even that Alchemy Venerable of yours is bound to be at a loss on what to do as well."
Wei Cheng's face turned black, his face unwittingly somewhat burning.
In the White Valiant Region, a high-rank Alchemy Venerable was absolutely a pinnacle existence already. He fully thought that by pulling out an Alchemy Venerable, he could definitely make Cai Yue throw herself into his arms.
Who knew that Cai Yue actually made him unable to get down the stage in front of so many people.
Wei Cheng did not know Cai Yue's identity. How would he know that the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company did not lack Alchemy Venerable experts at all?
If an Alchemy Venerable could treat her Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique, she would have been cured long ago.
Cai Yue suddenly gave a muddled groan, her soft body toppling down into Ye Yuan's embrace. Ye Yuan hurriedly supported her.
Softness in his embrace, an extremely alluring fragrance tunneled into Ye Yuan's nostrils.
This woman was truly phenomenal. Even if she was wan and sallow until like this, it was also a tremendous temptation to men, Ye Yuan sighed emotionally in his heart.
"Young Master Ye, this lowly one is so cold and can't walk anymore. Hold me tightly in your arms, alright?" Cai Yue said quiveringly in Ye Yuan's embrace.
She really could not walk anymore and did not have the slightest intention of acting spoiled.
But this scene was ambiguous to the extreme the way others saw it.
Especially Wei Cheng, his eyes nearly popped out.
"This woman must be Ye Yuan's exclusive slice of meat. This brat … Based on what?!" Wei Cheng hated immensely in his heart.
With Wei Cheng's identity and status, whatever kind of woman he wanted, they could be obtained easily.
But reaching Ye Yuan here, it just did not work!
He even brought out a high-rank Alchemy Venerable, but Cai Yue did not even pay attention to him.
Ye Yuan saw that Cai Yue's conscious was already somewhat fuzzy, muttering non-stop in his embrace. He heaved a slight sigh right away and lifted Cai Yue up.
Ye Yuan clearly sensed many odd meaningful looks, but he could not be bothered to explain, walking over in the direction C
ai Yue pointed.
A very pure man and woman relationship, but it was completely not the case in other people's eyes.
This kind of s.e.xy femme fatale being embraced in Ye Yuan's embrace, how could others not be envious?
Walking a few miles, the majority of the people were no longer able to go deeper.
The so-called yin wind lair was like the mouth of a spring, continuously sending out extreme yin qi. It was a place where yin qi was the heaviest.
Ordinary martial artists could not withstand this kind of chilly yin qi at all. Extreme yin qi entering the body would cause irreversible damage to the body.
"There is an open ground there. You guys go there and wait first. I'll bring Cai Yue in." Ye Yuan said to everyone.
Wu Siyuan's expression changed, and he said, "Young Lord, this yin wind lair's extreme yin qi is too heavy. Even I can't quite withstand it. You go in like this, nothing will happen, right?"
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Just some extreme yin qi, no harm."
Finished talking, Ye Yuan carried Cai Yue and walked towards the yin wind lair, his profile gradually vanishing in everyone's line of sight.
Ye Yuan's true dragon body and the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art were both extreme yang and indomitable cultivation method and physique in this world. Though the extreme yin qi in here was strong, it really could not do anything to him.
Really know how to pretend! This Young Lord doesn't believe that you'll be completely fine entering this yin wind lair! Best if you never come out again! Wei Cheng secretly cursed in his heart.
Wei Cheng's entire person was almost frozen stiff. The yin qi here was already on the verge of reaching his limits.
Separating from the team, Ye Yuan's speed was released fully. The distance of several miles was covered very quickly.
This place was an enormous cavern. The extreme yin qi on the ground was practically materialized, forming a vortex, as if it was a black hole.
The extreme yin qi continuously scoured Ye Yuan's body but was directly shaken off by him.
"Ugh …"
Cai Yue already thoroughly fainted at this time and was completely unable to take the initiative to absorb the extreme yin qi.
Ye Yuan sighed slightly, put her on the ground, and summoned Blackwind.
"Blackwind, you help to guard me. I'll help her absorb the extreme yin qi!" Ye Yuan instructed.
Chapter 833 - Corpse Venerable
Ye Yuan laid Cai Yue flat on the ground. He casually pulled out a hundred over earth essence crystals and started to swiftly set them up around Cai Yue.
The array formation he set up was similar to a spirit gathering formation. But this time, it was used to gather extreme yin qi.
The speed Ye Yuan set up the array formation was very quick. It was done in a short while.
Once the array formation was complete, it started to operate automatically.
Titanic amounts of extreme yin qi swarmed towards the array formation with a howl.
But when Ye Yuan saw the situation, he furrowed his brows.
"Cai Yue already lost consciousness and is completely unable to take the initiative to absorb the extreme yin qi. At this rate, it will bring only harm and no benefits to her body! Forget it, when doing someone a favor, go all the way. Let me lend you another helping hand!"
Ye Yuan jumped lightly, entering inside the array formation.
He helped Cai Yue sit up. A surge of essence energy enveloped her, letting her sit steady, then four palms came face-to-face.
Huff huff …
Ye Yuan revolved essence energy, absorbing all of the extreme yin qi gathered by the array formation into his own body, then passing it into Cai Yue's body from his palm.
Just like this, the extreme yin qi his Cai Yue's body acc.u.mulated more and more, while her body became increasingly colder too.
In the end, her body actually did not even have a trace of vitality anymore.
But Ye Yuan was seemingly oblivious and still poured extreme yin qi into her body.
All of a sudden, Ye Yuan opened his eyes, looking at Cai Yue rather excitedly.
He distinctly detected it just now, a hint of yang qi was born in Cai Yue's body!
"Ugh …"
Cai Yue's brows were slightly knitted, m.o.a.ning slightly. She actually survived from a state of impending death!
Gradually, the yang qi within Cai Yue's body became increasingly vigorous.
When she gradually opened both eyes, she could not help being startled inwardly.
Ye Yuan actually used his own body to pass the extreme yin qi onto her. This would cause tremendous harm to Ye Yuan!
"Calm your spirit and focus your mind. Continue absorbing the extreme yin qi! If there's anything to say, say it later! You're tantamount to have already died once. The Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique is already broken. In the future, not only will it not ask for your life, it will even make your cultivation advance by leaps and bounds! This extreme yin qi is highly beneficial to your cultivation. Absorb it in full-force," seeing Cai Yue wake up, Ye Yuan directly retracted his palms and instructed her.
Cai Yue's heart jolted. After nodding slightly, she started absorbing extreme yin qi with all her strength too.
Ye Yuan got up and left the array formation. The moment he landed, he actually staggered and nearly tumbled to the ground.
Blackwind jumped in fright and hurriedly said, "Master, are you alright?"
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "No worries. The extreme yin qi here is indeed impressive. Even my body constitution couldn't quite suppress it! The friend inside, you've already peeped for so long, do you plan to keep on peeping like this?"
Blackwind went blank. He actually did not discover that there were still others here!
A shadow revealed his figure from behind the yin grotto. It was a middle-aged person dressed in black robes.
Looking from the exterior, this middle-aged man was no different from ordinary people. But a faint green light emitted from his eyes, appearing rather demonic.
"Looks like we seemed to have interrupted your peaceful cultivation. Sorry about that," Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth and said, "You absorbed so much extreme yin qi and actually didn't die!"
The middle-aged man's voice was very hoarse, sounding very dry, making people very uncomfortable.
"Just some extreme yin qi, it won't take my life yet. But I didn't expect that this yin grotto is actually a Corpse Venerable's grotto. This one was anxious in saving people and was rather presumptuous," Ye Yuan said coolly.
This middle-aged man was actually a Tier 8 corpse venerable!
Seems like apart from the eyes, he was already not much different from normal people.
This yin grotto was a highly dangerous place for human martial artists, but to Corpse Venerables, it was a superb cultivation site.
Not even a single zombie was seen in the vicinity here. Clearly, they did not dare to approach this place, because here was the grotto of this middle-aged man before their eyes!
Of course, if this Corpse Venerable were not wary of Blackwind, he would probably have made a move long ago to deal with Ye Yuan.
The middle-aged man sized Ye Yuan up for a while and opened his mouth to say, "I've seen you before. You're … very formidable!"
"Oh? Looks like you were present on that day too. Didn't expect that you can actually remember me," Ye Yuan was rather surprised as he said.
"Us zombies are very s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e towards smell. Even though a layer of Agarwood Powder is covered on your body, the original scent can't be hidden from me," the corpse venerable said.
This Agarwood Powder was useful against low-level zombies. But to Corpse Venerable this kind of rank, it basically only existed in name.
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fine then, there's no need for us to catch up. But I'm quite curious, the few of you Corpse Venerables have clearly been here for a very long time alrea
dy and have never interfered with the affairs of human martial artists. But why did you have to control those low-level zombies to attack humans this time?"
The middle-aged man mused for a moment and opened his mouth to say, "Nothing to do with us! However, I can't tell you the reason why."
"Alright, then I'll change the question. Inside this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array, just what kind of existence is sealed? If my conjectures are right, this corpse tide probably can't be unrelated with him, right?" Ye Yuan asked with a smile that wasn't a smile.
The middle-aged man had a deadpan face and was completely expressionless. But at this time, he was clearly unbelievably shocked by Ye Yuan's guess.
In reality, Ye Yuan had seen through the actual situation about this grand array on that day. The reason why he dragged the seven great Holy Lands all into the water was in order to find more helpers to deal with the situation.
Ye Yuan researched very extensively into array formations. This Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array was a very famous grand array in the Ancient Era. Moreover, it was a Tier 10 grand array that only Deity Realm powerhouses could lay down!
An existence that this kind of array formation sealed was bound to not be something ordinary.
On that day, Ye Yuan distinctly sensed the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array's loosening up, and he also sensed the incredibly dangerous aura coming from inside the boneyard.
Once this sort of thing broke out, those who would suffer would probably not just be the White Valiant Region.
Hence, that was why Ye Yuan would summon so many people down. The goal was in order to stop this thing from breaking free!
"You actually recognize this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array! Looks like you're even harder to deal with than I imagined! But even if you know, it's useless too. I urge you to best return to the surface as soon as possible and make haste to leave this area," the corpse venerable said in shock.
Ye Yuan sighed slightly and said, "Who asked me to be a goody-two-shoes! This sort of thing, if I didn't run into it, then forget it. Since it let me, Ye Yuan, run into it, then I can't let him escape! If the matter can't be done, it won't be late for me to discuss it again at length."
