The skinny old man's nascent soul transformed into a vicious ghost, which then became a mysterious restriction, covering the red coffin.
Zhang Ling felt surprised and released his divine sense to scan the red coffin. However, when his divine sense landed on it, it was repelled.
When he first entered this place and saw the red coffin, he glanced at it, and it did not repel his divine sense. The current situation could only be because the skinny old man used some kind of sealing technique to seal the coffin.
This sealing power was definitely not weak, and it was at the cost of his own nascent soul. What exactly was inside that could make a nascent soul cultivator go to this extent?
Moreover, the sect master he mentioned before he dissipated, could it be that they were cultivators from that sect?
Zhang Ling immediately thought of the Ghost King Sect, and coupled with the masked man he encountered in the Dayan Mountains a few years ago, who also seemed to be a cultivator who practiced the Underworld King Art. These were all related to this ancient sect that had disappeared long ago.
Two nascent souls, one was killed by him, and the other turned into a restriction and dissipated. Even if he had these guesses in his heart, he could not get confirmation.
Zhang Ling expressionlessly scanned the emerald green spiritual light outside and put away his thoughts. The top priority now was to leave the range of the round platform first.
With a thought, he activated the flying sword and giant claw, intending to forcefully break through the spiritual light outside.
But at this moment, the round platform suddenly stopped rotating, and the light it emitted turned into a gray-green color. He could feel that this was a layer of Yin energy(阴气: yin energy) spiritual light.
Zhang Ling realized that it seemed to be some kind of formation, which seemed to have absorbed enough Yin energy(阴气: yin energy) and was about to be activated. This was very similar to... a teleportation array!
As soon as this thought emerged, the round platform, wrapped in black and green spiritual light, disappeared in a flash. Along with the red coffin, Zhang Ling was teleported away.
What Zhang Ling didn't know was that as soon as he was teleported away, the corridor passage behind the bronze giant gate and this huge stone chamber collapsed directly in a rumbling sound.
In a short period of ten or so breaths, it turned into a pile of ruins.
Apart from being able to hear the wailing of ghosts and some remaining low-level zombies and ghost creatures, everything returned to calm.
Until a few hours later, more cultivators arrived one after another. Among them were two or three nascent soul old monsters, all of whom were cultivators sent by nearby forces to investigate.
These people who arrived later naturally did not have much to gain from entering this place. Apart from discovering that this place was a good underground Yin vein(阴脉: yin vein), there was nothing worth paying attention to.
The only strange thing was that someone discovered that the quality of the Yin vein(阴脉: yin vein) seemed to have been damaged, but no valuable clues were left. As time went by, the Yin energy(阴气: yin energy) scattered outside gradually dissipated.
The Myriad Cave Mountains also returned to their former calm.
......
Let's talk about Zhang Ling. He was shocked by the sudden teleportation. The light and shadow in front of him flickered on and off, and he didn't know where he would be teleported to.
Fortunately, the defensive measures he had set up before had not been removed, which made him feel a little more at ease. The round platform under his feet also released spiritual light to offset the spatial pressure formed by the teleportation.
In the blink of an eye, a strange feeling of weightlessness spread throughout his body, and he quickly mobilized his spiritual power to stabilize his figure. The scenery in front of him became real, and he arrived in a dark environment.
"This disciple greets Elder Ghost and Elder Ghost old woman... Huh, who are you..." A clear voice entered his ears, but halfway through the sentence, he suddenly noticed something was wrong, and his voice became surprised and suspicious.
Zhang Ling turned his gaze and saw two black-robed cultivators standing at the entrance of the stone cave, bowing to him in this direction.
These were two Golden Core(金丹: golden core) mid-stage cultivators. At this moment, seeing the two of them looking at him with doubt and surprise.
"Not good, he is a nascent soul cultivator."
One of the black-robed cultivators suddenly discovered Zhang Ling's cultivation level, his face changed drastically, and without thinking, he turned his head and turned into a black light and fled immediately.
A fierce light flashed in Zhang Ling's eyes, and a section of pitch-black vine was thrown out. In an instant, it entangled the fleeing cultivator.
The other black-robed cultivator who was stunned in place was naturally not spared. Xuan Turtle spewed out a cloud of ice mist, freezing the stunned cultivator into an ice lump.
The vine wrapped the two cultivators and pulled them back. Zhang Ling unceremoniously cast the Soul Searching Technique, but his face became more and more gloomy. Because he instantly judged the current situation, which was extremely bad.
Without thinking, he could guess.
The white-haired old woman and the skinny old man wanted to use the power of teleportation to escape his pursuit. But before the teleportation array could be activated, they were killed by him. Instead, he happened to catch up with the activation of the teleportation array and was teleported here for no reason.
Now that he appeared in this place, the most likely thing was that this was the base camp of these two nascent soul old monsters.
As expected, with the Soul Searching, Zhang Ling learned that this was actually inside a sect called Hundred Soul Sect.
He had never heard of the Hundred Ghost Sect, but what surprised him was that he had already left the territory of the Otherworld Demon Clan, because the Hundred Soul Sect was a sect of human cultivators.
This sect's power was not weak, with three nascent soul old monsters sitting in town.
The Ghost old woman and Ghost old man they called out were the white-haired old woman and the skinny old man, who were the two nascent soul cultivators of this sect.
The third nascent soul old monster of the Hundred Soul Sect was even stronger, a nascent soul mid-stage cultivator, named Hundred Soul Real Person. He was currently sitting in the Hundred Soul Sect. He had destroyed Ghost old woman and Ghost old man, and had already formed a great feud with this sect.
Being inexplicably teleported to the inside of the Hundred Soul Sect was definitely the worst situation.
Suddenly, with two muffled bangs, Zhang Ling had not finished Soul Searching and had not obtained more information.
The heads of the two Golden Core(金丹: golden core) cultivators who were being Soul Searched exploded for no reason. Moreover, two black and red streams of blood rushed out, shooting towards his face.
"Not good"
Zhang Ling quickly threw out the two corpses, and the vines quickly rolled into a wooden shield, blocking in front of him. Two streams of blood hit it, and the wooden shield emitted sizzling smoke, as if it was being corroded.
With a thought, he cut off the section of vine. The wooden shield turned back into vines and fell to the ground, becoming withered and turning into a pool of black liquid with a foul smell.
Zhang Ling snorted coldly and threw out two fireballs to burn the corpses. At the same time, he cast a spiritual light to wrap the red coffin on the round platform and put it away. This coffin was definitely not ordinary and could be considered the only thing he got.
Now there was no time to consider other things, he had to prepare to escape.
Unexpectedly, a special restriction was placed on the souls of these two Golden Core(金丹: golden core) cultivators. Once Soul Searched, the souls would explode. It would also form a special attack to counterattack the enemy.
If he hadn't been cautious and careful all the time, he would have almost been hit by the attack. But now that these two people were dead, they had definitely alarmed the Hundred Soul Real Person.
Fighting against a nascent soul mid-stage old monster inside someone else's sect was extremely unwise.
Moreover, after a fight with Ghost old man and Ghost old woman just now, Zhang Ling now had only about 30% of the spiritual power left in his body. His condition was not good. Xuan Turtle was also not in full condition.
Zhang Ling flew out of the stone chamber. Outside was a long passage, all the way up. He seemed to be in the belly of the mountain. Thinking in his heart, he had two more jade bottles in his hand, poured out seven or eight pills. He swallowed a few pills, and Xuan Turtle also divided a few pills.
Although they were all top-quality pills to restore spiritual power, they could not replenish the consumption of spiritual power in a short time.
Zhang Ling felt that restoring spiritual power was still too slow, and another top-quality Earth Spirit Stone appeared in his hand. At the same time, a top-quality spiritual stone of water attribute and several medium-quality ice spirit stones were also thrown into Xuan Turtle's mouth.
He and Xuan Turtle replenished their consumption while looking for a way out.
At the same time, in a dark cave, a gray-faced middle-aged man wearing a green robe suddenly opened his eyes. As if sensing something, he flipped his hand and took out a pitch-black treasure.
As soon as this treasure was taken out, fine cracks appeared on it. The green-robed man stood up abruptly and quickly cast a spiritual light into the treasure.
The treasure completely shattered, exploding into a piece of black powder, which gathered in the air to form a blurry image. The scene in the image was the stone cave guarded by two black-robed Golden Core(金丹: golden core) cultivators.
But the stone cave was empty, and there was no one in sight. His two disciples were killed. Who did it? They actually killed his disciples in the Hundred Soul Sect. Could it be those hostile sects?
The green-robed man's face was gloomy, and he immediately denied this guess in his heart.
Because the place guarded by these two disciples was a bit special, and he had arranged it specifically. Even if some cultivators mixed in, they could not get there.
With a flash of his eyes, the middle-aged man immediately noticed that a huge emerald green round platform had been added to the ground in the center of the stone cave.
"This is that one-time teleportation array. Could it be that something happened to Ghost old man and the others."
At this moment, a spiritual light flew in from outside in a hurry, and in the air, it turned into a yellow talisman, which burned with a puff, and a hurried and frightened voice came out. "Great Elder, something bad has happened. The soul lamps of the two elders, Ghost old man and Ghost old woman, have gone out."
"What"
The green-robed man's face turned green and red when he heard the voice in the sound transmission talisman, and his eyes went black and he almost didn't stand firm.
How was it possible? The combined forces of Ghost old man and Ghost old woman were not weaker than him. How could they be killed? If the things they were guarding fell into the hands of other cultivators, it would be difficult to explain to the sect master.
His ending would not be good either.
The green-robed man thought of a more urgent situation, and a layer of green mist rose from his body, and he rushed out of the cave. When he got outside, he flew into the air, and his eyes turned to the southeast, looking at a place.
More than ten miles southeast, there was a canyon surrounded by three sides. It was an underground canyon, and the entire canyon was wrapped in a thick layer of Yin wind(阴风: yin wind), which was pitch black.
"No matter who you are, now that you have been teleported over, don't even think about escaping." The green-robed man's face was gloomy and scary, and he quickly flew towards that side.
Ghost old man and Ghost old woman were dead, and the teleportation array was still activated, then it could only be that the cultivator who killed them was teleported over. Otherwise, how could the two guards he sent be killed?
In the blink of an eye, he flew halfway, and was about to approach the underground canyon. He sensed a terrifying spiritual power fluctuation suddenly coming from the canyon.
With a rumbling sound, the area where the canyon was located was like an earthquake, and countless earth and rocks collapsed. The entire canyon collapsed, and a giant claw emerged from it, as if some monster was about to rush out.
Seeing this scene, the green-robed man was shocked.
With his eyesight, he instantly saw that it was not a monster, but a treasure with great power.
This underground canyon was a forbidden area he had specially set up, in order to protect Ghost old man and Ghost old woman to teleport safely, with a strong protective array, but it was broken open.
What kind of treasure was the giant claw, with such power. He saw that the giant claw quickly shrunk, turned into a spiritual light and disappeared.
"Hmph, want to leave, it's not that easy." The green-robed man swept his divine sense and found a vague shadow, flying to the other side at a very fast speed. He quickly chased after him, and at the same time, he let out an angry roar. "All disciples, listen to the order, activate the protective array."
The roar clearly used spiritual power and spread extremely far. It immediately alarmed the cultivators within a hundred miles nearby.
This was the territory of the Hundred Soul Sect, and the cultivators here were naturally all disciples of the Hundred Soul Sect.
Even if the green-robed man had not spoken, the movement of the canyon collapsing just now was not small, and it had also attracted the attention of the cultivators here. Most of them walked out of their caves, but these disciples did not know what had happened, and most of them looked blank.
At this moment, hearing the order of the sect ancestor, the disciples of the Hundred Soul Sect rioted.
"Look, how did the ancestor come out of the mountain."
"What happened just now? Could it be that an enemy has broken into our sect."
......
The Hundred Soul Sect was a typical ghost sect, and the cultivation methods of the disciples in the sect were mostly based on the ghost path. Therefore, the location they chose was different from ordinary sects, and it was built in an underground Yin vein(阴脉: yin vein).
Looking around, this area was full of strange rocks and ravines. It looked strange and desolate. But the underground environment was not dark, and there was a faint spiritual light. They are all spiritual lights emitted by various fluorites.
There was also an extremely wide underground Yin River(阴河: yin river) surrounding it, with faint blue or light white ghost fire lights shining in the water. The scene was also peculiar.
In addition to the three nascent soul cultivators, the Hundred Soul Sect also had hundreds of Golden Core(金丹: golden core) cultivators. There were even more foundation building and Qi refining disciples. All kinds of discussions arose one after another.
But in a blink of an eye, under the leadership of several Golden Core(金丹: golden core) cultivators, many disciples became orderly. Then, an ancient bell rang from a black stone palace. It heralded the imminent opening of the sect array.
It was Zhang Ling who made this movement.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Hundred Soul Sect had not fully opened the sect protection array, he had to leave the hundreds of miles area as quickly as possible.
Being inexplicably teleported into a sect, no matter what explanation he had, it would not be possible to end well. Now the situation was extremely bad. The only way out was one word, "escape"
This was really a helpless move.
Just after walking out of that stone cave, Zhang Ling found that there was still a weak restriction blocking it, and he could not use earth escape and other means. Moreover, he had already alarmed the cultivators of this sect, and he could not delay it for too long. In this case, it was no longer possible to leave quietly.
So Zhang Ling gritted his teeth and could only activate the black bone giant claw to break the restriction. This caused an even bigger movement.
