Chapter 1651: Chapter 1640: You May Begin Your Journey
The ancient and weathered aura wafting out from the rectangular box.
Under Ye Chenfeng’s deliberate manipulation, once it drifted into the great hall on the ground, the ancient aura became much thinner, nearly imperceptible to ordinary people. Even the Sect Master Chen Qianwu of the Blood Refinement Sect couldn’t detect this faint ancient aura.
However, Jiang Qishi and Zhong Yonian, who had been perceiving the inside and outside of the Ye Gate, suddenly snapped their eyes open. Their gaze simultaneously fixed on the entrance leading underground.
These two old ancestors of the Blood Refinement Sect, having reached the Nirvana Realm, naturally possessed much sharper senses than Chen Qianwu of the Reincarnation Realm.
Jiang Qishi, at the late stage of the Nirvana Realm First Layer, muttered to himself: “Could it be that the secret chamber containing treasures has been dug open so soon?”
Zhong Yonian, at the peak stage of the Nirvana Realm First Layer, replied: “Going down to check will reveal everything.”
As soon as the words fell.
Jiang Qishi and Zhong Yonian swiftly made their way toward the underground entrance, and before entering, Jiang Qishi left a message: “Qianwu, focus on staying here, the buried treasures are about to be unearthed, and there cannot be any mistake at this moment.”
Below the ground.
In the left chamber, Ye Chenfeng sensed the quick approach of Jiang Qishi and Zhong Yonian, so he immediately closed the box, restoring the arrangement of the box’s patterns to a sealed state.
However, Ye Chenfeng once again infused spiritual energy into the patterns, ensuring they remained illuminated, ultimately allowing the Blood Refinement Sect’s ancestors to fall into the trap earlier.
After placing the rectangular box on the ground, Ye Chenfeng removed his garments, and after slicing his right arm, he left a large pool of blood on the clothing.
With a thought, Ye Chenfeng entered the small world within the Chaos Ring.
In the Chaos Ring’s small world, Ye Chenfeng could clearly perceive the situation outside, but those outside could not detect the aura within the small world.
Just as Ye Chenfeng stepped into the small world within the Chaos Ring.
The two old ancestors of the Blood Refinement Sect, Jiang Qishi and Zhong Yonian, appeared in the left chamber.
Their gaze fixed on the box on the ground, with its surface pattern still glowing.
They then noticed the clothing on the ground, belonging to the man with the iron mask, stained with a large pool of blood.
Jiang Qishi and Zhong Yonian’s brows furrowed instantly, carefully sensing the aura underground, yet they could not perceive the man with the iron mask, confident in their sensing abilities.
Since they could not sense the existence of the man with the iron mask and the clothing soaked in blood remained on the ground, Jiang Qishi and Zhong Yonian deduced that the man with the iron mask was already dead.
The two old men stared intensely at the box on the ground, knowing the ancient aura came from it, almost certain there was treasure inside the box.
Previously, they had determined that this chamber should be an old cover used by Ghost Heaven Gate, puzzled over how the man with the iron mask discovered the box amidst the walls’ rectangular pit.
In Jiang Qishi and Zhong Yonian’s view, surely the man with the iron mask discovered the box here. Yet, with only the Creation Realm First Layer strength, he was struck dead by some restriction on the box.
After exchanging a glance, Jiang Qishi and Zhong Yonian slowly approached the box on the ground, eager to uncover the treasure inside.
As they probed the entire box, they found nothing unusual. Therefore, Zhong Yonian, at the peak stage of the Nirvana Realm First Layer, twitched his blind left eye a couple of times and then cautiously reached to touch the box, his heart pounding. Upon touching it, no anomalies were felt.
Therefore, Zhong Yonian slowly lifted the box, finding no anomalies when holding it, he relaxed and said: “The restriction on the box must have been triggered by the iron mask, and now the whole box is clear of restrictions.”
Jiang Qishi agreed, finding it reasonable, and they attempted to open the box, failing repeatedly, causing them to frown once again.
A moment later, Jiang Qishi focused on the glowing patterns on the box surface, pressed his palm against them, and discovered he could move the patterns, declaring: “It seems a specific method is required to open this box, moving these patterns on the box is likely the key.”
The two old men were gradually stepping into the trap set by Ye Chenfeng, yet unknowingly.
Zhong Yonian also attempted to move the box patterns, realizing they could indeed be moved, he nodded: “Indeed, the key to opening the box lies within these patterns.”
Zhong Yonian and Jiang Qishi placed the box on the ground and began shifting the patterns on the box’s surface together.
While rearranging the patterns on the box, pausing for about thirty seconds will signal completion to the box’s patterns, and any mistakes will unleash the force within the patterns to strike.
As they maneuvered the patterns together, Zhong Yonian and Jiang Qishi sensed a subtle tension, feeling a force within the patterns that made them nervous.
Meanwhile, within the Chaos Ring’s small world, Ye Chenfeng detected the Blood Refinement Sect’s two ancestors rearranging the patterns.
The main scheme was now evident.
Ye Chenfeng exited the small world, his form returning to the chamber.
At present, Ye Chenfeng had removed his mask and donned his own clothing.
Upon Ye Chenfeng’s sudden appearance, Jiang Qishi and Zhong Yonian paused slightly, then fixed Ye Chenfeng with a fierce gaze. Jiang Qishi shouted: “Who are you? How did you end up here?”
Ye Chenfeng did not hide his strength, making Jiang Qishi and Zhong Yonian aware of it; they couldn’t comprehend how Ye Chenfeng, merely at the middle stage of Creation Realm First Layer, appeared discretely here.
Ye Chenfeng suddenly appeared.
This interrupted Zhong Yonian and Jiang Qishi’s pattern movement on the box; they rose from their crouched position, staring at Ye Chenfeng with a strong killing intent.
Ye Chenfeng now needed to stall for about thirty seconds; within Jiang Qishi’s speech, ten seconds had elapsed.
Ye Chenfeng nonchalantly shrugged, saying: “You two old men won’t last much longer; if I were you, my hands would remain on the box for comfort. It’s time you accept your fate.”
“Ah, I forgot to introduce myself; I’m Ye Gate’s Sect Master, Ye Chenfeng.”
Zhong Yonian and Jiang Qishi felt increasingly uneasy, intending to crush Ye Chenfeng upon hearing his words but instinctively glanced at the box on the ground behind them.
Just thirty seconds had passed.
The patterns on the box began flashing faster and faster, with a chilling force slowly emerging from them, causing Zhong Yonian and Jiang Qishi’s expressions to change drastically. Ignoring Ye Chenfeng, they tried fleeing immediately.
Yet it was too late.
With a “Boom!”
A strong light enveloped Jiang Qishi and Zhong Yonian, accompanied by a force aimed to annihilate.
This force targeted Jiang Qishi and Zhong Yonian, who arranged the patterns.
As the light faded.
Jiang Qishi’s body was riddled with holes, and his head had turned into a mist of blood.
However, Zhong Yonian, with slightly superior strength, seemed better; his heart was pierced, and the left half of his head was gone.
Zhong Yonian was not entirely dead yet, unable to circulate the spiritual energy within, his body convulsed, eyes glaring at Ye Chenfeng, mouth moving helplessly, seeming to try to speak.
“How dare you cause trouble at Ye Gate! To us, it doesn’t matter if you’re Blood Sect or Blood Crap Sect! This is your price to pay.”
Ye Chenfeng drew the Black Xuan Sword from his back.
Black light flashed swiftly.
Powerless to resist, Zhong Yonian’s head separated from his neck.
Everything unfolded as Ye Chenfeng predicted.
After handling the two Blood Refinement Sect ancestors, Ye Chenfeng felt much at ease, as the highest strength left was merely the Reincarnation Realm Blood Sect Master.
