Chapter 260: Chapter 261: The Northern Barbarian Sect’s Old Lair

A group of people arrived at the deepest part of the temple.

In front of everyone, there was a heavy iron door, blocking their path.

"Someone come and break this iron door open!" Blood Wolf commanded.

"I’ll do it!" Xiong Fei, with his immense strength, threw a fierce punch at the iron door.

Bang!

The iron door remained motionless!

Unwilling to believe it, Xiong Fei tried attacking again, to no effect.

Xiong Fei smiled wryly, "Young Master, this iron door is too thick. My strength alone can’t break it!"

"Let me try!" Blood Wolf, gripping his long saber, hacked viciously at the iron door.

Clang!

On the iron door, only a shallow saber mark appeared.

"This..." Blood Wolf’s pupils constricted, he exclaimed in shock, "Young Master, I can’t break this iron door!"

"Heh, with your level of strength, of course you can’t!"

Just then, a familiar laugh sounded.

The crowd turned their heads and saw Li Hu walking towards them.

"Instructor Li!" everyone called out.

Ye Wudao said in surprise, "Uncle Li, you’ve returned."

"Mhm. I’ve just been around to check out the surroundings. If I’m not mistaken, this temple’s true identity is the lair of the Beimang Sect!" Li Hu revealed astonishingly.

What?

The Beimang Sect’s lair!

Everyone was shocked by this news.

"The Beimang Sect’s lair?" Ye Wudao’s eyes registered surprise.

"Young Master, the situation is graver than we imagined. The rumored King of Beimang might still be alive!" Li Hu said, staring at the door before him, his expression solemn.

"I’ve heard of the King of Beimang. Rumor has it he’s a great demon lord!"

"He wreaked havoc in all directions back in the day; countless people died miserably at the King of Beimang’s hands!"

The Death Blade’s members inhaled sharply in fear!

"Young Master, if we open this door, there’s no turning back," Li Hu reminded.

"Open it!" Ye Wudao insisted firmly, "No matter if the King of Beimang is alive or dead, if he dares to bully Mengmeng, even if he turns into a ghost, I will have him eradicated!"

"Alright!" Li Hu nodded, approaching the iron door.

He raised his hand, his palm gathering a powerful True Qi.

"Break!" Li Hu yelled softly.

Boom!

The door, sturdy as iron, was actually blasted open.

"The door’s open!"

"Worthy of being the head instructor of our Dragon Country’s palace!"

"So powerful!" The members of the Death Blade were excited beyond measure.

Just at that moment, a dense black smoke suddenly rushed at them.

This is bad!

Li Hu’s face changed drastically, and hastily he held his breath and retreated to the back.

"No one breathe!" Li Hu shouted.

The thick black smoke spread, and before the members of the Death Blade could react, they inhaled the smoke, and cries of pain as they fell to the ground followed.

"Ah!"

"Ah, my head hurts so much!"

In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred members of the Death Blade fell, leaving only Blood Wolf, Lei Hu, Xiong Fei, and a few others struggling to endure.

Ye Wudao swiftly urged his Dragon Qi, infusing it into Xu Yuanyuan’s body.

Xu Yuanyuan’s eyes remained clear, and she was unharmed.

"Heavens, what’s going on?" Xu Yuanyuan exclaimed in shock.

"Young Master, let’s withdraw!" Li Hu, holding his breath, spoke out.

Ye Wudao clenched his teeth, "Uncle Li, take the brothers and leave, I’ll stay!"

What?

Li Hu’s eyes widened in alarm, he became anxious, "Young Master, after all, this is the Beimang Sect’s lair; who knows what dangers are inside. You must not put yourself at risk!"

Just then, a disdainful voice came through!

"Heh, this Beimang Sect really is as deceitful and insidious as ever..."

Who?

Ye Wudao and the others turned their heads and saw an elder in a Taoist robe slowly walking out of the mist of black smoke.

"Old ghost!" Ye Wudao’s pupils shrank.

"I pay my respects to the Divine Doctor, senior!" Li Hu hurriedly clenched his fist in salute.

"Divine Doctor Uncle!" Xu Yuanyuan was overjoyed.

"Aiyoh, Yuanyuan girl, haven’t seen you in months, and your figure is getting more and more robust!" Upon seeing a beautiful woman, the Divine Doctor instantly wore a lecherous smile.

"Old ghost, Yuanyuan is in a bad mood; don’t start trouble for no reason!" Ye Wudao said coldly.

Staring at Xu Yuanyuan’s reddened beautiful eyes, the Divine Doctor quickly said, "Yuanyuan cried, who’s the blind fool that dared to bully Yuanyuan?"

"Wuwu, Divine Doctor Uncle, I, I lost Mengmeng on the mountain!" Xu Yuanyuan wept.

Divine Doctor calculated with his fingers and said sternly, "That’s the work of the Beimang Sect!"

"Old ghost, you’ve come at the right time. All my brothers have inhaled this black smoke. Will they be alright?" Ye Wudao asked worriedly.

"This is corpse smoke. Once inhaled, within three days, they’ll surely bleed from their seven orifices until dead!" said the Divine Doctor.

What?

Ye Wudao’s expression changed; "Then what should we do?"

"Divine Doctor senior, you are one of the four great Divine Doctors of Dragon Country, you surely have a way to save the lives of the Death’s Dagger men!" Blood Wolf said.

"Hehe, I came here precisely for this reason!" said the Divine Doctor as he took out a wine gourd from his body and threw it to Blood Wolf; "Give each one of them a mouthful!"

"Thank you, Divine Doctor senior! " Blood Wolf was excited.

"Divine Doctor senior, are those who disappeared while sketching in the mountains really taken by the Beimang Sect?" Ye Wudao asked.

"Indeed!" The Divine Doctor nodded.

"Why?" Li Hu also looked puzzled.

"You see!" the Divine Doctor said, pointing ahead.

Looking forward, the group saw streaks of green flames that flickered like ghostly fires.

"That, that seems to be ghost fires?" asked Li Hu in surprise.

"Yes, this place is an extreme yin location, filled with dense evil spirits, giving birth to ghost fires! If I’m not wrong, this is where the Beimang Sect buried the Beimang King initially!" said the Divine Doctor.

"Let’s go inside and take a look!" said Ye Wudao.

The men of Death’s Dagger gulped down the medicine wine given by the Divine Doctor and gradually came to.

"Don’t just stand there, hurry up and follow!" Blood Wolf urged.

Ye Wudao and his group moved forward, quickly encountering a dilemma: there were three pathways in front of them.

"Why are there three passages?" asked Li Hu, puzzled.

"I reckon that Beimang King was just a despicable cur, having three burrows like a crafty rabbit, only to escape!" Ye Wudao scorned.

"That’s not wrong, but you’ve only got half of it right..."

The Divine Doctor spoke; "The Beimang Sect is an evil sect, worshipping an evil god! These three passageways are respectively the Human Path, Ghost Path, and Beast Path! Hidden mechanisms are within the passageways, lethal traps abound, and one wrong choice could lead to irredeemable doom!"

Hiss!

Hearing the Divine Doctor’s words, everyone’s hair stood on end!

"Old ghost, which passageway is the safest?" asked Ye Wudao.

"Normally, it would be the Human Path, as it has the lowest risk factor!" the Divine Doctor said, taking out a metal compass from his body, with the needle spinning incessantly.

"Eh, isn’t that a compass used for tomb raiding?" asked Li Hu in shock.

"Don’t talk nonsense, this is a Feng Shui compass!" the Divine Doctor glared at Li Hu.

"Feng Shui compass, is it effective?" Ye Wudao questioned.

"Nonsense, it’s consecrated by Chen Lao Er, of course, it’s effective. When I went tomb raiding in the past, I relied on this thing to make money," the Divine Doctor glanced at Ye Wudao with disdain, treating the metal compass as a treasure.

Consecrated by Chen Lao Er!

Hiss!

Ye Wudao looked shocked; Chen Lao Er was nobody else but his own second master, rumored to be the highest ranked person in the Taoist community of Dragon Country!

"Old ghost, no wonder my second master often disappears for months, and whenever he returns, he’s covered with the stench of corpses, his back scarred gruesomely, as if he’s been clawed by a bunch of ghosts. He never says a word when asked! Could it be that the two of you are secretly involved in the tomb raiding business?"

"Cough cough, don’t spout nonsense, your second master and I are like-minded friends, each time we went to a tomb, it was with an attitude of research, exploration, and learning! Dressing the corpses, making them look nice, it’s all about accumulating good deeds, you little brat wouldn’t understand!" the Divine Doctor covered his unease with all seriousness.

"Then every time my second master came back, he’d always carry a bulging snake-skin bag; what’s with that?" Ye Wudao eyed him skeptically.

"Cough cough, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and that includes the dead! Chen Lao Er and I each painstakingly tidy up the corpses in the tombs, we ought to get some compensation, right?" the Divine Doctor said with all seriousness.

"That makes sense!" the soldiers of Death’s Dagger nodded silently.

"That sounds so weird though..." Ye Wudao mused.

Just then, the needle of the metal compass in the Divine Doctor’s hand began spinning rapidly and then pointed in one direction.

The Divine Doctor grinned and said, "Hehe, the direction the needle points to is the Human Path, that’s safe!

Ye Wudao’s eyes lit up; "Let’s go!"
