"What happened here?!"
Chongli shuddered. He felt Lord Mingye's aura ahead of him grow terrifying, and the sight of the two cracked statues left him stunned.
Mingye's expression remained unchanged, but terrifying killing intent, deep as an abyss, filled his pitch-black eyes.
He entered the Demon Wolf Tomb, with Entei and Chongli following behind. Cracks filled their vision; every stele and statue of the Demon Wolf ancestors bore hideous fractures!
It was a horrifying sight. All the ancestral spirits had vanished without a trace.
This sacred ground had once provided a place for these Demon Wolf ancestors to survive, yet now it had suffered such a drastic change.
"What on earth happened?! What happened here?!"
Chongli's face filled with horror. The Demon Wolf Tomb had become a true tomb, filled with deathly silence. There were not even any signs of battle.
The cracked steles and statues seemed to have been struck by an immensely powerful force and destroyed in an instant.
"The Netherworld Path..."
Mingye frowned slightly. He sensed a trace of lingering Netherworld Path power. A Netherworld Path had once been opened here.
He was extremely sensitive to its power and could roughly deduce when it had appeared: a year ago!
Bzzzz!
Suddenly, the Demon Wolf Tomb shook violently, and all the steles and statues crumbled into dust.
A faint light gradually gathered before Mingye, Chongli, and Entei.
"Whoever comes after us, please leave this place at once and notify Mingye, the Sacred Artifact's wielder. Disaster has struck the Demon Wolf Tomb, and its cause lies in the Underworld...
Remember, do not linger here!"
An illusory remnant of a Demon Wolf appeared, its eyes lifeless as it spoke. It seemed to be a final recording left behind by all the Demon Wolf ancestors, without any awareness of its own.
