Chapter 319: 318 Palm: The True Map

"Hold on."

At this moment, Xia Yichen, whose face was pale and bloodless, slowly spoke up, stopping the people of the Blood God Palace.

"Saint Heir..." the Blood Robed Youth and the others all turned their gazes towards Xia Yichen, their eyes inquiring, laced with a thread of killing intent.

They clearly all wanted to take action and immediately execute Ye Xuan right there and then.

Although Ye Xuan had killed Gao Junyang and Xu Tianbo a month prior, that was in single combat. Now, with so many of them from the Blood God Palace present, would they still fear a single Ye Xuan?

Xia Yichen shook his head slightly, slowly got to his feet, looked at Ye Xuan, and calmly said, "What news do you have?"

Ye Xuan looked at Xia Yichen and replied with a faint smile, "Aren’t you looking for the Heavenly Pond Graveyard?"

"Heavenly Pond Graveyard?" But everyone from the Blood God Palace looked utterly clueless.

Even Xia Yichen was momentarily taken aback, frowning as he turned his gaze to Ye Xuan, and said in a slow voice, "Are you sure you’ve got the right person?"

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "The people from the Heavenly Demon Sect said that the news about the Ghost Spirit Fruit was spread by you, right?"

"That damned Saint Heir of the Heavenly Demon Sect!" The Blood Robed Youth suddenly burst into a furious rage.

Xia Yichen remained calm, looking at Ye Xuan, "Then do you know what can be found in that place?"

He indeed hadn’t heard of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

However, after listening to what Ye Xuan said, he seemed to feel that the place they were searching for might just be the very Heavenly Pond Graveyard Ye Xuan mentioned.

"First, let me have a look at the map," Ye Xuan said.

"Show Ye Xuan the map," Xia Yichen instructed the Blood Robed Youth.

"Saint Heir!"

As soon as Xia Yichen made this statement, the expressions of everyone from the Blood God Palace changed dramatically.

"Do as I say," Xia Yichen said with an emphasis in his tone.

The Blood Robed Youth hesitated for a moment, looking at both Ye Xuan and Xia Yichen, and finally, with reluctance, took out the black leather map and handed it over to Ye Xuan, saying, "Don’t even think about taking it away, or else my Blood God Palace will hunt you down until your death."

Ye Xuan ignored the Blood Robed Youth’s threat, took the black leather map, and began examining it carefully.

The people from the Blood God Palace surrounded Ye Xuan, watching him vigilantly, as if they were afraid that Ye Xuan would run off with the map.

After all, obtaining the map had cost their Blood God Palace predecessors a great deal of effort and if it were lost on their watch, the consequences would be severe upon their return to the Blood God Palace!

Xia Yichen, not opposing the actions of his people, kept his eyes fixed on Ye Xuan.

He too wanted to see what Ye Xuan was actually playing at.

A moment passed.

Suddenly, Ye Xuan’s hand sparked with thunder, which covered the black leather map!

"What are you doing, Ye Xuan!"

This sudden action by Ye Xuan startled everyone from the Blood God Palace, and they cried out in alarm.

Ignoring them, Ye Xuan continued to channel the Hand Palm Thunder, transforming True Qi into thunder, which spread across the entire black leather map.

"Stop!" The Blood Robed Youth reacted instinctively, immediately launching a punch towards Ye Xuan.

Boom!

Ye Xuan casually sent out a palm strike.

In an instant, the Blood Robed Youth was sent flying backward.

"Puh——"

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out as the Blood Robed Youth was stricken.

"You dare to strike?"

The other disciples from the Blood God Palace became instantly enraged, ready to join the fight.

Xia Yichen also stared intently at Ye Xuan, not understanding why Ye Xuan would do such a thing!

Boom!

However, in the next moment,

Under the tumult of Ye Xuan’s thunder, the black leather map underwent a strange transformation.

The people, who were about to take action, stopped in their tracks, watching in disbelief as the map in Ye Xuan’s hand began to levitate.

"What’s going on here?"

"Does this map have some other mechanism?"

The originally furious Blood Robed Youth was also stunned, unsure of what was happening as he watched the map.

Xia Yichen stared at the levitating black leather map, full of shock and doubt.

"This is the Demon Skin of the Thunder Demon, which normally conceals the drawn map within its depths, requiring thunder to draw it out," Ye Xuan explained calmly. "Did your Blood God Palace predecessors not tell you about this?"

His comment instantly caused the members of the Blood God Palace to look embarrassed.

How could they have known of such a thing?

After all, the map was found by their predecessors through their own exploration; the specifics were completely unknown to them.

They were merely following the path laid out by their predecessors.

This situation was entirely beyond their expectations.

Without paying attention to their embarrassment, Ye Xuan continued to infuse thunder into the map.

As Ye Xuan performed his task, the black leather map had completely changed, forming a phantom map that floated in the air.

It detailed several areas within the Ghost Tomb, with a red dot marked at a certain canyon entrance.

This location was completely different from the one previously recorded on the black leather map.

"This location..."

Upon seeing that location, all members of the Blood God Palace were suddenly shocked.

Xia Yichen’s pupils shrunk slightly as a tremor went through his heart.

"This place, it seems to be the central point of the Ghost Tomb," Ye Xuan stroked his chin, deep in thought.

In this past month, he and Tian Lu had been adventuring all around the Ghost Tomb, getting familiar with numerous places.

To him, the entire Ghost Tomb posed no threat whatsoever.

"You all are afraid of this place?" Ye Xuan asked the crowd.

"This is the Forbidden Land within the Ghost Tomb, no one is allowed to enter. To enter is to die!" the Blood Robed Youth said.

On their faces was written the color of terror; they seemed genuinely scared of this place.

Not only them, but even Xia Yichen seemed apprehensive, his already pale complexion turned even whiter.

"If it’s this place, then we must not go," Xia Yichen said in a low voice, his eyes flickered with reluctance.

From the predecessors of the Blood God Palace, they knew that one only needed to sleep there to gain an unparalleled inheritance!

The fortune within was far greater than anything the Ghost Tomb had to offer.

However, the reality now told them that the place was the Forbidden Land of the Ghost Tomb, and entering meant death, which was hard for them to accept.

Did this mean the chance for fortune was gone?!

"Being so afraid of death won’t get you any fortune," Ye Xuan said with a faint smile.

"If you don’t dare to go, then I’ll go alone."

He had originally planned to take them with him after getting information from these guys.

But since they were all so scared, Ye Xuan couldn’t be bothered to bring them along.

The crowd looked back and forth at each other in dismay.

The Blood Robed Youth looked at Ye Xuan with a peculiar expression and said, "Aren’t you afraid of dying?"

Ye Xuan gave the Blood Robed Youth a sidelong glance and said indifferently, "To tell you the truth, there have been countless times when I’ve sought death in vain."

Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless with an expression that spoke volumes.

Seeing their reaction, Ye Xuan did not bother to explain further.

Some truths, even if real, are beyond belief.

Because they surpass their understanding.

"I’ll go!"

At this moment, Xia Yichen suddenly spoke up, as if he had made up his mind.

"Saint Heir!" the crowd exclaimed in alarm.

"Saint Heir, don’t be reckless. You are the future of the Blood God Palace; how can you take such a risk!" The Blood Robed Youth also hastened to dissuade him.

The Ghost Tomb Forbidden Land was off-limits to anyone.

The location previously recorded on the black leather map was already terrifying, home to a Ghost King.

But beyond the Forbidden Land of the Ghost Tomb, there were Ghost Kings everywhere.

Entities of that level, let alone those below the Life Palace Realm like them, even warriors of the Life Palace Realm would meet their doom here!

Against beings of that caliber, there was nothing but a dead end!

Xia Yichen’s face was pale, but his eyes brimmed with determination, "A true man has things he does, and things he does not!"

Ye Xuan remained silent on the sidelines.

The Ghost Tomb Forbidden Land might have a significant connection to the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

But specifically how was not yet clear.

After all, he had never been to that place.

However...

The Divine Sun Sword might be there.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t still be searching for it until now.

After a while, seeing that Xia Yichen and the others were still going on about it, Ye Xuan’s eyebrows lifted slightly, "Have you made your decision?"

"I’m going!" Xia Yichen stated firmly.

The Blood Robed Youth gritted his teeth and said, "I’ll go too. The rest of you wait here for us to return!"

"This..."

The others from the Blood God Palace went pale upon hearing this.

Heading for the Ghost Tomb Forbidden Land, wasn’t that a death sentence...

"Follow me." Ye Xuan had no interest in idle talk and took the lead without delay.

Whoosh!

Ye Xuan, riding on Tian Lu, dashed out instantly.

Xia Yichen and the Blood Robed Youth did not hesitate and leapt up, closely following behind Ye Xuan.
