Chapter 499: Chapter 0494: Evil Yin Tower

Within the relic, after leaving the treasure hall, Wan Baoguang and his companions ventured further.

Along the way, the group encountered several Evil Ghosts, but the six of them easily dealt with them.

The battle they had just had with adversaries in the Late Guiyuan Realm Peak had pretty much put their true strength on display, so there was no longer any need to conceal it.

The only one still shrouded in a layer of fog, it seemed, was Chen Yu.

When Chen Yu had made his move to break the twins’ attack, everyone felt that he was not simple, but they were unable to discern the extent of his true strength and remaining cards.

After a while, a towering, majestic, and solemn tower emerged before them.

This tower was preserved even better than the previous dark-gold palace, looking almost undamaged except for being coated in thick dust.

On the gateway at the entrance, three large characters were inscribed—Evil Yin Tower.

“Evil Yin Tower? If I remember correctly, the Yinluo Sect once had two Late Stage Guiyuan Realm Peak masters, one of whom was known as the ‘Evil Yin Ancestor’!”

Wan Baoguang slightly closed his eyes, murmuring to himself softly.

Such information was generally unknown to the public, remembered only by treasure hunters like Wan Baoguang who held historical intelligence close to their hearts.

“Could this be the dwelling place where the Evil Yin Ancestor once cultivated?” guessed the short man.

The likelihood was great, and this notion was met with agreement from the rest.

“There must be many treasures inside. After all, the Evil Yin Ancestor was one of the strongest in the Yinluo Sect. He certainly must have collected many treasures,” the twin sisters reflected upon Wan Baoguang’s mention, getting somewhat excited.

“Whether it’s the Evil Yin Ancestor’s dwelling is not clear, but this Evil Yin Tower, with such heavy Evil Qi, is very unusual. Even if it was his residence, it doesn’t guarantee that there aren’t dangers or traps inside,” Chen Yu said indifferently, his mysterious heart sensing the heavy Yin Qi here and feeling an ominous premonition.

“What you say is true. If there are dangers or traps, it will surely take some effort,” Wan Baoguang’s smile faded, and he began to to ponder hesitantly.

At this moment, they had found another treasure site, but the unknown ahead might bring endless crises, requiring a lot of time. By the time Elder Kun led others here, they would be trapped with no escape, merely awaiting death.

However, having just reaped significant benefits, everyone was convinced there were more treasures to be found here. Discovering this tower, they carried that idea in their hearts, finding it hard to let go.

“There’s still a bit of time before half an incense stick burns out, so why don’t we go in and have a look? If there’s difficulty, we won’t explore anymore,” suggested the twin sisters.

“Let’s just take a look,” the short middle-aged man also wanted to take a peek.

“Alright,” Wan Baoguang made his decision.

It was fine to just have a look. Chen Yu and the man with the bamboo hat also thought it was no big deal.

The tower door was without restrictions; it could simply be pushed open and entered.

The moment the group stepped inside, they felt an intense chill of Yin Qi envelop them.

The tower’s interior was pitch-black and haunting, but being in the Guiyuan Realm, everyone could see clearly the immediate surroundings, even in the darkness of night.

“Nothing at all?” muttered the twins.

The first floor of the Evil Yin Tower was utterly empty, devoid of anything.

Then, as everyone moved to the second floor, the chill deepened, their bodies unconsciously shivering.

The second floor, still, was completely empty.

The group continued upwards without any hindrance and quickly reached the eighth floor.

“What kind of godforsaken place is this? It can’t be completely empty,” cursed the short man.

The group braced themselves mentally and stormed into the Evil Yin Tower, only to see not a single treasure or encounter any enemy or obstacle, which bored them considerably.

“The last floor. If there’s still nothing, we’ll retreat,” Wan Baoguang said with composure.

Relatively speaking, this exploration had not yielded much. After all, there might still be other treasures hidden in the relic, but they were out of time and had to leave.

The door to the ninth floor was sealed, covered with ancient array patterns that were intricate and interlaced, with eighteen indentations on it.

“Do we need to activate an Array to open this door?” Wan Baoguang wondered.

“That means there must be treasures inside,” the twin sisters got somewhat excited.

After all, there were no obstacles in the first eight floors, with unimpeded access, the only exception being this ninth floor, which required the activation of an Array to open.

“Let’s try,” Wan Baoguang took out eighteen Grade Essence Stones and set them into the indentations.

Having reached the Guiyuan Realm, any Array left behind was certainly not something that could be activated by mere low-quality Primordial Stones.

Wan Baoguang chose to personally utilize eighteen Grade Essence Stones, so if they discovered treasures inside, he would have a reason to claim the larger share.

As the Grade Essence Stones were embedded, the array patterns on the stone door slowly lit up.

Boom!

The stone door opened, and a gust of chilly Yin Qi struck everyone, causing them all to shudder as their very flesh felt attacked by the infiltrating Yin Qi.

The ninth floor was unlike the previous eight, with some simple furnishings.

But that wasn’t the main attraction; everyone’s gaze was drawn to the skeleton sitting cross-legged at the center.

The skeletal remains were eerily still, yet surrounded by astounding Yin Sha Qi.

“Could this person be the Evil Yin Old Taoist?” Everyone entered with curiosity.

If the Evil Yin Old Taoist had died here, perhaps they would find something valuable.

“Dead for so long, yet the corpse still emits such a strong aura. Could it be that the Evil Yin Ancestor was about to break through to the Sky Sea Realm before his death?”

The twin sisters approached the skeletal frame, feeling overwhelmed by the trace of Evil Qi.

But suddenly, the skeletal frame cracked with a “crack,” turning into gray dust that dispersed into nothingness.

However, a black-gray fog appeared on the spot, exuding a heart-stopping Evil Qi. The twin sisters’ bones chilled, their faces turned deathly pale, and they felt an unprecedented crisis.

“What’s going on?”

Everyone couldn’t help asking, looking over.

Just then, the door to the ninth level closed with a “boom.”

At the same time, complex Array patterns began to flicker around the ninth level, and a tremendous force swirled around.

Outside the Evil Yin Tower, Yin Sha Qi gathered and poured continuously into the ninth level.

Suddenly, within this layer of space, a hoarse and chilling laugh echoed: “Hehehe, dreaming of taking the treasures of the Yinluo Sect? Die here, all of you!”

Everyone’s spirits shuddered, thinking that perhaps the Evil Yin Ancestor was not dead after all.

But that was absolutely impossible; everyone present was from the Guiyuan Realm with broad experiences; they could guess that this was a special sound trap, probably set within the Array. Once the Array was activated, the sound would be emitted.

“Not good, we’ve been tricked, this is a trap set by the Evil Yin Ancestor, probably meant for the enemies of the Yinluo Sect.”

Wan Baoguang, as an elder, guessed something from that sentence.

Perhaps, when the Yinluo Sect was destroyed, the Evil Yin Ancestor, harboring feelings of unwillingness, set up this trap in his residence to kill those enemies looting the treasures.

Whoosh!

The gray-black fog in front of the twin sisters moved suddenly, rushed at the sisters, and entered their bodies.

Inside the tower, the twins’ screams rang out.

Everyone looked on, feeling a chill down to their bones.

“Invaded by evil energy, this must be the ‘Yin Evil Essence Qi’ left by the Evil Yin Old Taoist, containing his angry and unwilling obsessions. I fear that the twins will no longer be themselves.”

Wan Baoguang looked grave.

As he expected, the twins’ screaming slowly stopped, and they suddenly looked up with pale faces, their eyes gray-black, lifeless, and their bodies emanated Yin Sha Qi.

“Die, all must die!”

The two shouted simultaneously, their voices overlapping, sounding even more terrifying.

Hiss!

The red-clothed sister among the twins rushed at the man with the conical bamboo hat, thrusting a column of black flame sword Qi.

Boom!

The man in the conical hat swept out a burst of green wind sword light, which, upon collision, was instantly pierced through by the black sword column.

Realizing the danger, the man waved his sword, deploying Sword Qi for protection.

“Her strength has increased.”

The man, at the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm, was repelled by the red-clothed sister, who was at the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak.

The blue-clothed sister charged towards the short man.

Hiss!

She too thrust her sword, with a shadow of black watery light streaking out.

The short man, only at the Early Guiyuan Realm, felt the mightiness of this strike, beyond his ability to block, and immediately took out a copper Token, activating it to extend an ancient bronze light shield.

Boom!

The sword shadow swept across, collided with the ancient bronze light shield, and after a moment of deadlock, it sliced the shield into two.

The blue-clothed sister struck again with her sword, and the short man, out of moves, was bisected by the sword shadow, dying a gruesome death.

“The influence of the Yin Evil Qi has improved their strength.”

Wan Baoguang stated immediately.

Moreover, due to the Array, the Yin Sha Qi on this ninth level was becoming denser, and the strength of those two would continue to rise.

Boom!

Chen Yu hurled a sword attack at the main door, but found it unmoved, his power shared by the entire Array.

“We can’t get out…” said Chen Yu.

Furthermore, the Array was carved into the walls, integrated with the architecture, and even Chen Yu’s mysterious and ancient Token was ineffective.

Wan Baoguang’s face showed embarrassment; the ruins were too old, and the Primordial Stones within the Array had long been depleted. The Array was actually powered by those eighteen Grade Essence Stones he had just now.

This was not his fault; it was all the ploy of the Evil Yin Old Taoist.

“Please, assist me in killing her immediately. Otherwise, under the influence of this Array, the strength of these two sisters will continue to grow.”

Wan Baoguang called out to Chen Yu.

Whoosh!

Chen Yu returned, swinging the Giant Ruler Sword to unleash a fierce black sword surge.

The blue-clothed sister, originally weaker, was more easily dealt with.

Outside the ruins.

The clash of six Guiyuan Realm warriors was magnificent, making the underground sea waves churn, alarming all around.

Ren Bing extended his arm, morphing it into a glowing black claw, clutching Elder Kun’s already lifeless body.

Together, the five of them made short work of the severely wounded Elder Kun.

“Let’s go, inside.”

Ren Bing didn’t want to wait any longer.

He also worried that the commotion of the battle had alerted the people inside the ruins.

“Everyone else does not matter, but Chen Yu must die.”

Ren Bing issued a reminder.

Swoosh—

The group of five blasted through the debris and entered the cave.
