"Something's still not right!" Huang Quan thought to himself as he continued tracking.
In truth, Huang Quan knew very well that the other party was here most likely for the purpose of inheriting the legacy and then using it to enhance his own power. However, the other party did not care about anything like "respect".
If he wanted to, he could simply barge into this place with his strength, but the fact that he's sneaking around like this is quite puzzling.
"He must be concerned about something, or there must be something preventing him from using force! Otherwise, he would never do this." With a slight thought, Huang Quan seemed to have considered a possibility.
Just as Huang Quan was pondering, the mysterious figure dressed in black suddenly stopped. However, he did not stop for long. After looking around, he continued to fly forward, but at this moment, his speed became faster and faster.
"Hmm?" Huang Quan's figure paused at first, then after a moment of contemplation, his speed increased slightly.
"It seems that, unless something unexpected happens, we're almost at our destination..."
However, just as Huang Quan was pondering this, the mysterious person in front of him suddenly turned around and changed his route, heading towards a denser thicket of trees than the others. He then sped away and disappeared in a short while!
Of course, the mysterious man's actions did not escape Huang Quan's notice. But just as Huang Quan was about to continue following, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and without pausing for a moment, he flashed and immediately hid on the treetop of a large tree nearby. He remained completely still, without even emitting a breath, but his eyes were fixed on the spot where the mysterious man had turned around.
But just after Huang Quan concealed his aura, the entire world seemed to fall silent within a radius of about one hundred meters around him, and not a single sound was heard.
But this strange state did not last long; it was broken by someone after about fifteen minutes.
With a whoosh, a figure appeared out of thin air, suddenly appearing where Huang Quan was looking. However, after appearing, this figure revealed a hint of doubt...
"This doesn't make sense," he muttered to himself as he took out a round object that looked very similar to a compass from his storage ring.
………………
The compass was entirely black, resembling a mysterious artifact capable of detecting things. At that moment, he looked at the center of the object, and his brows slowly furrowed.
"Strange? The spiritual energy is so faint and unclear. Could it be that something is wrong with this ancient artifact that hasn't been used for hundreds of years?"
It's obvious that this person is the mysterious man who suddenly turned around just now!
Perhaps because he couldn't figure it out, he quickly shook his head, stroked his chin, and chose to continue forward in this puzzlement. However, this time he was heading in a completely different direction than when he suddenly turned around before.
"That was close!" Huang Quan heard the mysterious man mutter to himself, and after the latter had walked away, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, my senses are quite sharp, and I sensed the danger in advance. Otherwise, I might have been discovered by him!" After feeling relieved, Huang Quan calmed himself down and then moved forward to follow again. This time, however, he was more cautious to guard against the unknown.
Although Huang Quan is stronger than the mysterious man, he is not a fool, and it is clearly too early for him to make a move now.
And so, Huang Quan, following the mysterious man once again, cautiously arrived at a relatively secluded place in the mountains and forests.
This place, spanning about a hundred meters, is a flat area. Apart from the grass swaying in the wind, only the falling snowflakes blend with the blue and white, creating a unique landscape.
But for some reason, the closer the mysterious man and the Yellow Springs got to this place, the faster the snowflakes fell from the sky, as if this place was drawing the snowflakes away.
And right in front of this place, there stands a door that exudes a sense of vicissitude!
The door wasn't large, but a chilling aura emanated from it, seemingly capable of freezing everything, instilling a sense of dread...
"This is it..." The mysterious figure in front suddenly stopped, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on the stone door. At this moment, a faint smile appeared on his face: "Hehehe! I really didn't expect that old guy to leave behind a compass that can find the entrance to the tomb before he died. Was he worried that his legacy would be destroyed?"
"But don't worry! Since I obtained this compass by chance, I will definitely follow the arrangements of heaven and carry forward your legacy, hahahahaha..."
"However, the external defensive formation you set up can actually detect my presence, thus concealing the exact location of the entrance. Even with the help of that compass, I still have to go through some trouble, which really frustrates me..."
"So! Your actions have made me a little worried that you might have set up some kind of self-destruct formation in the graveyard. After all, when I first arrived here, I was planning to just blast my way through..."
"Hmph hmph hmph!" At this moment, the mysterious man's expression suddenly twisted, as if a hint of terror had appeared. He continued, somewhat neurotically, as if he were conversing with the soul of the tomb's owner: "But for the sake of my legacy, I still suppressed the urge to destroy your tomb..."
"It's a pity your gravesite escaped this calamity, but your array formations may not be so lucky. Look... take a good look at this mountain range... wild beasts are surging, snow is falling heavily... all of this is my doing!"
"I have already broken nine of your Netherworld Snow Arrays, and the one before me now is the last one. As long as I break this array and kill its spirit, this door... will open for me..."
"Just watch closely! The moment I receive the inheritance!" At this moment, the mysterious man composed himself and walked step by step towards the stone gate. Judging from his calm expression, he seemed to have already decided what to do next!
At this moment, Huang Quan was quietly crouching behind a patch of thick grass where snow-white and blue met, his gaze silently fixed on the figure of the mysterious person.
He overheard everything the mysterious man said and thus understood all the recent anomalies. He never imagined that the culprit behind the dramatic change in events was right before his eyes.
But he wasn't very surprised, because given the current situation, only this mysterious person in the entire town could do this. Thinking about this, Huang Quan's gaze couldn't help but fall on the stone door.
But in that instant, his gaze narrowed, and as if his memory had been affected by something, some scenes he didn't know suddenly surfaced.
"What...is this?" Huang Quan's expression immediately showed confusion and bewilderment.
After calming down, he felt something behind the door drawing him in, making it impossible for him to look away from the stone door.
Ancient gates, floating snow, verdant forests.
On the other hand, the mysterious man approached the stone gate very cautiously. Although his steps were slow, his calm expression turned into one full of confidence!
Suddenly, about twenty meters away from the stone gate, the mysterious man stopped.
"This is it. Just one more step and we'll trigger the array spirit's attack. This is the last array spirit, and its strength should have reached the early Nirvana stage, right? After all, before that old guy was seriously injured, the array spirits he set up were at least at the peak of the Nirvana stage!"
“However… I wasn’t unprepared…” Thinking this, the mysterious man squatted down, and with a gentle wave of his left hand, three black puppets, each twenty centimeters tall, appeared in his hand.
He smiled, arranged the three puppets in a triangle on the ground, and cut his finger, dripping three drops of blood onto them.
The blood immediately seeped into the black doll upon contact, but its surface remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened. However, the feeling it gave off became slightly more sinister.
After placing the doll, the mysterious man took two steps back and took out another item from his storage ring. This item was a tree branch of ordinary size, seemingly nothing special, but the mysterious man's expression was unusually solemn, indicating that discovering this item must not be a simple matter!
"The Branch of the Underworld, although I can only unleash half of its power with my current strength, if it is combined with the Three-Method Black God Puppet, it will be enough to deal with this array spirit. In that case, it will consume much less of my energy..."
The mysterious man was unsure whether he would face any major dangers after entering the cemetery, so for safety's sake, he could only choose to proceed cautiously and preserve his strength as much as possible. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened in the cemetery, he would suffer a great loss.
Although this guy is despicable and ruthless, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, he's not stupid. He knows when to do what, and he knows that caution is always the best policy...
This is perfectly demonstrated by the fact that he chose to hide and act in secret from the day he arrived. After all, he knew very well that if others knew he was here, everything would become quite troublesome.
Because you have to understand, how could a secret place that can attract the attention of a Nirvana Realm expert be an ordinary secret place? At that time, powerful figures from all forces would probably get involved, and that's not the outcome he wanted to see.
Although he had been hiding these past few days, and even dared not appear in front of some of the younger generation, his efforts were not in vain. At least... he found this place.
A short while later, the mysterious man fiddled with the Three Laws Black God Puppet again. After confirming that no one was around, he leaped backward, landing about a hundred meters away from the stone gate.
Then, his gaze turned slightly solemn, his hands quickly formed hand seals, and he uttered a sentence: "With my blood, open!!"
As soon as these words were uttered, almost without warning, bursts of black light suddenly shone from the eyes of the three black puppets, and their bodies simultaneously grew larger, becoming almost indistinguishable from ordinary people, before slowly coming to a stop.
After stabilizing their bodies, an intense black light suddenly appeared around them, encircling them. In just a moment, the black light transformed into a black suit of armor on the three of them, tightly enveloping them and leaving only their black eyes exposed before slowly dissipating.
At this moment, although the three of them were puppets, they were still emanating a spiritual energy fluctuation of the perfect Creation Realm. However, this was not the end. The mysterious man's hand seals changed again. Judging from his slightly solemn expression and the sweat on his face, it seemed that it was not as easy as he had imagined: "Black God, release!!"
The puppets changed again. Under the control of the mysterious person, all of them stretched out their left hands at the same time, and the black light that had disappeared before reappeared!
This time, however, the blades did not encircle their bodies, but instead appeared on their left hands. In an instant, three black blades, each carrying a hint of darkness, materialized in their left hands.
At this moment, they gripped their own blades, and with the fluctuations of their black armor, an overwhelming aura suddenly soared into the sky, making the surrounding snow seem somewhat dim!
Seeing the imposing aura displayed by the three puppets, the mysterious man controlling them wiped his sweat and smiled slightly: "Hmph! The things left behind by that old fellow are indeed good. To have such power merely by using blood to activate them, the power would probably be much greater if activated by the soul... However, the price is not simple... Oh well, once I obtain the final inheritance, all of this will be nothing..."
"Now, it's time to begin!" The mysterious man suppressed his excitement, his eyes fixed on the three black god puppets. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he pointed his left hand sharply at the puppet standing in the center, almost growling as he shouted, "Move!"
Without hesitation, the puppet raised its left foot and silently stepped into the twenty-meter range that could trigger the array spirit the moment the mysterious person gave the order.
Suddenly, the snowflakes around the stone gate ceased their calm and began to swirl wildly, as if affected by something. The stone gate itself also emitted a series of rumbling sounds, as if it were about to collapse completely. At that moment, a snowflake-like pattern suddenly appeared on the stone gate...
The moment the snowflake pattern appeared, a voice that seemed to have been waiting for countless years suddenly rang out!
"Snow can melt! It can become strength! It can become itself!"
At this moment, mystery! Eerie! And then, an ancient voice, like a wave, echoed and reverberated from the stone door!
But this was not the voice of the spirit, but another voice that seemed to have existed for a long time.
At the same time, the instant this sound appeared, a stream of light containing another slightly domineering voice shot out from the stone gate!
"Those who disturb my lord's peace deserve to die!" Needless to say, the one who uttered this voice was the last one the mysterious man wanted to deal with... the array spirit!
Chapter 197 His Name?
The snow is still falling.
Perhaps it was because of the appearance of that figure that it became a little anxious.
After appearing in front of the stone gate, the streak of light immediately transformed into a giant man about two meters tall, standing before the mysterious figure like an impenetrable wall.
He had an ordinary appearance, nothing special, but the pressure emanating from him was not weak. He stared at the three black god puppets in front of him, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes. But when he turned his gaze to the mysterious man, that contempt turned directly into disdain, as if these people were not worth his attention.
"You are the one who disturbed my lord's rest?!" the burly man said slowly, his voice still domineering.
"Hmph!" The mysterious man sneered, not answering the big man's words. Instead, he changed his hand seals and directly controlled the Three Law Black God Puppet. At an extremely fast speed, it instantly approached the big man's vicinity. Seeing the black light flowing from its blade, it immediately launched an attack on the big man!
At this moment, the three puppets suddenly slashed forward, and three black rays of light instantly materialized from the three blades, quickly merging into a black skull that opened its maw at the burly man, as if to swallow him whole!
"Heh... the power of a puppet, overestimating yourself! You haven't come out for so long, so I'll play with you properly and test my soul power that I haven't used in a long time!" The big man's expression did not change. As he spoke, his strong body suddenly twisted, and in a strange way, he dodged the attack of the big mouth.
"Soul power?" Upon hearing the burly man's words, Huang Quan, hidden in the grass, murmured to himself, and his left ear throbbed even more.
Soul power is a power evolved from spiritual power by the members of the Heavenly Soul Clan. In terms of strength, it is slightly stronger than spiritual power. However, due to its special nature, it is only suitable for the members of the Heavenly Soul Clan to cultivate, so it has not become widespread in the True Profound Continent. After all, not every cultivator is willing to become a member of the Heavenly Soul Clan.
In that instant, the burly man's figure flickered again, and he instantly appeared to the right of the skull. Without hesitation, he raised his broad hand and squeezed the skull hard. Instantly, the skull let out a shrill sound and collapsed as if it had no power to resist, as if it were utterly vulnerable!
However, this scene did not change the mysterious man's expression much, except for a slight solemnity.
"What else? Keep going!" The burly man waved his hand, calmly looking at the mysterious man, as if what he had just done was merely a warm-up.
"Stronger than expected! But it doesn't matter!" The mysterious man knew that the big man's contempt and disdain for him stemmed from his own strength, and coincidentally, the mysterious man also intended to take advantage of this to achieve his goal.
The mysterious man's hand seals changed again, and he suddenly pointed at the burly man. The three black puppet figures immediately rushed towards the burly man and launched an attack...
The burly man sneered and stepped forward to meet him!
Upon contact, the two produced a very loud booming sound that echoed throughout the area within a short time.
These were the three black blades of the Three Laws Black God Puppet, constantly colliding with the big man's fist!
Upon closer inspection, the two sides were exchanging blows at an extremely fast pace. Although they seemed evenly matched, the burly man still held the upper hand. Moreover, his relaxed expression gave the impression that he was toying with the mysterious man.
But the mysterious man didn't seem to care. He narrowed his eyes, unhurried and unhurried, as if he had a backup plan.
……
On the other hand, Huang Quan, hidden in the grass, did not focus on the fight between the mysterious man and the big man; he scattered his divine sense in all directions.
It was as if it was sensing something.
"But what does this really mean?" Thinking of this, Huang Quan remained silent for a moment before finally letting out a slow sigh. But then his expression hardened: "This is troublesome! Things are getting more and more complicated. It seems this cemetery is not as simple as I thought!"
It was indeed not as simple as Huang Quan had imagined. You see, all his knowledge of this cemetery came from others, and he himself didn't know how much of it was accurate. But now, he was finally getting closer and closer to the truth about this cemetery.
Just as Huang Quan was pondering the answer, three loud booming sounds suddenly echoed through the back door, interrupting his thoughts and causing him to frown slightly and shift his gaze for the first time.
