The Northern King's attack severely injured the Nine-Star Dou Di, and the powerful deterrent shocked everyone present. The expressions on the faces of Chen Zhen and Qin Yun, who had a grudge against Xiao Yan, became particularly gloomy at this moment.
Especially Qin Yun, who was severely injured by the Northern King just now, was his subordinate. But judging from the current situation, that guy will not have the chance to enter the ancient tomb this time.
A severely injured Nine-Star Dou Di would need a long time to recover from his injuries alone. The environment inside this ancient tomb is particularly treacherous, and with the addition of other forces, his severely injured body would sooner or later become a burden to them. Moreover, even if Qin Yun agreed to continue taking him along, the guy beside him would absolutely not agree.
However, what Qin Yun found most alarming was the Northern King after he devoured the Thunder Dragon. Judging from that attack just now, the Northern King's strength was probably comparable to the Mid-Stage Nine-Star Dou Di. With such strength, plus Xiao Yan, they would be enough to shake any of the forces present.
Thinking of this, Qin Yun's face turned even more ashen.
He never imagined that in just half a year, Xiao Yan's combat power would increase so dramatically. If he couldn't kill him during this trip to the Ancient Tomb, Xiao Yan would inevitably become a major threat to him in the near future.
The stronger Xiao Yan's power, the greater the threat he poses to them.
From birth until now, Xiao Yan is the first person Qin Yun has ever felt such a threat from!
At this moment, Xiao Yan also flashed and in the blink of an eye, he was already standing next to the Northern King. His gaze swept over the crowd below, and after seeing the ashen faces of Qin Yun and the others, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Then, his gaze fell on the Northern King.
After devouring the thunder dragon, the Northern King's combat power increased significantly. Although he had reached the Mid-Stage Nine-Star Dou Di, the thunder power within his body had clearly not been fully absorbed and refined.
Previously, there was still a large portion of the immense lightning power contained within the lightning passage and the lightning dragon's body that was uncontrollable. However, Xiao Yan believed that with the Northern King's special physique, he would be able to refine all of this lightning power in a short time, and at that time, the Northern King's strength would surely increase again!
With this thought in mind, a satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips. From this moment on, he felt that his trip to the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb had already been worthwhile.
Not only has his own strength stabilized at the Mid-Stage Six-Star Dou Di, but the Northern King's strength has also reached the Nine-Star Dou Di. With such a combination, Xiao Yan believes that as long as he doesn't encounter Origin Transformation Realm expert, he is confident that he can ensure his own safety.
With a thought, Xiao Yan put the Northern King into his Storage Ring, and then looked up at the palace gate that had been opened in front of him.
Beyond this stone gate, Xiao Yan could see some buildings, but since the group hadn't yet entered, they couldn't see them clearly.
With a light touch of his toes, Xiao Yan rushed into the palace without the slightest hesitation.
Venerable Heavenly Severing one person in the Western Region, Xiao Yan was not worried about any hidden dangers in Tianjue Shangren's ancient tomb. Just like the thunder passage and the thunder dragon they had encountered before, any traps or mechanisms were clearly laid out in front of them. This was the pride of a strong person; they would not stoop to using such underhanded methods.
As Xiao Yan entered, the others followed in single file, as if afraid that Xiao Yan would sweep all the treasures inside Chen Zhen and the others exchanged glances before moving and entering the main hall in front of them.
After everyone passed through the palace gate, everything before them gradually became clear.
All eyes were filled with shock as they stared at the scene before them, each person's face showing utter astonishment. Even the people from the major powers couldn't help but marvel.
At the forefront of the crowd, Xiao Yan looked up at the vast and boundless complex of buildings before him, and was equally shocked.
What appeared before them was a vast underground city that stretched as far as the eye could see. The endless buildings extended to the horizon, each displaying a different form. Although it had witnessed nearly a thousand years of history, the buildings had not decayed with the passage of time. On the contrary, they exuded an ancient charm that inspired awe.
Such magnificent architecture is truly unparalleled; looking across the world, it's likely that no other city can compare.
As for the crowd that surged in, they quickly spread out, their greedy eyes scanning the surroundings before rushing into the buildings, eagerly searching for treasures within the ancient tombs.
Glancing at the crowd, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan sighed and shook his head, feeling a pang of regret for this ancient city. Then, he turned his gaze and immediately recognized the road ahead. There, in the very center of the city, was a straight, wide street, as if it had been specially arranged to guide them.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan did not hesitate at all. He flew forward at an extremely fast speed along the street, hoping to cross the city in the shortest possible time.
This time, Xiao Yan's goal was very clear: he only wanted to obtain the Soul Origin power left behind by Venerable Heavenly Severing and the other part of the Origin Return Mantra. As for his cultivation inheritance, although Xiao Yan was also tempted, he knew that there were quite a few powerful people entering the ancient tomb this time. Once they saw Venerable Heavenly Severing's cultivation inheritance, they would inevitably fight each other. Under such circumstances, even Xiao Yan would have to retreat.
Therefore, the chances of obtaining the Soul Origin Power and the Origin Return Mantra are much greater, and they are also the most attractive to Xiao Yan. After all, these two items are crucial to Xiao Xuan's resurrection. Even if he doesn't want the Dou Qi inheritance, Xiao Yan must get his hands on the Soul Origin Power and the Origin Return Mantra!
Seeing Xiao Yan's impatient appearance, Chen Zhen Wu Jitian, and the others frowned slightly. Then, they moved quickly, leading the experts from their respective sects, and chased after him.
Behind them, Ye Luotian slowly passed through the stone gate. Just as he entered, the black-robed man beside Qin Yun exchanged a glance with him without making a sound. At the same time, Ye Luotian's sleeves fluttered strangely, but without alerting anyone around him. Afterwards, a dozen or so sect members dressed in long robes, whose faces were not visible, followed closely behind and entered through the stone gate.
What do we do with this guy?
At this moment, Qin Yun was focusing his attention on the seriously injured Nine-Star Dou Di. The latter had already fainted, and his aura had dropped to the lowest point. If he was not treated soon, he might die at any time.
"Oh? This guy... what use is he to a dying man?"
"But he is, after all, my..."
"Laugh!"
Upon hearing the black-robed man's hoarse voice, Qin Yun Mei. Before he could finish speaking, the black-robed man waved his sleeve, and a strange suction force surged out from beneath it. Immediately afterward, the heavily injured Nine-Star Dou Di's body trembled violently uncontrollably. Then, a slightly illusory figure flew into the sleeve and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"You..."
"Young Master, don't panic. He's just a piece of trash. I'm only taking him in for you. Besides, although you will lose a Nine-Star Dou Di, you will also gain even greater power."
Qin Yun's face turned ashen. He was about to speak when he was stopped by the black-robed man's sinister laugh.
What do you mean by that?
Qin Yun Mei frowned deeply. Even he couldn't afford to lose a Nine-Star Dou Di. This guy actually dared to make sarcastic remarks here. If he weren't wary of the latter's strength, he probably would have already lost his temper.
"Hmph, it's not the right time yet. You'll find out soon enough. But until then, we'd better catch up with those guys. Otherwise, losing them would be extremely disadvantageous for us."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yun was slightly taken aback. He turned his gaze and saw that Chen Zhen and his group were about to disappear into the distance. He then glared at the man in black robes, let out a cold snort, flicked his sleeves, and led Yan He and the other two men to chase after them.
Then, the man in black robes watched Qin Yun's retreating figure, a strange smile appearing on his face hidden beneath the mask. Only then did he set off and follow closely behind.
Just after the man in black robes caught up, two figures clad in black robes slowly stepped into the stone gate. Two pairs of eyes beneath the black robes were fixed on the man's back, a sharp glint flashing deep within them.
As the crowd continued to pour in, in a small group, an elderly man in a white robe followed a handsome young man also dressed in white. The others following behind them were dressed similarly, and upon closer inspection, one could see that they all had a prototype clan emblem tattooed on their chests. The design on the emblem resembled a bird spreading its wings and taking flight, exuding an aura of power.
At this moment, the group of people stepped into the place with slightly quicker steps, their eyes scanning around as if searching for something.
"Young Master, it seems that Xiao Yan didn't stay here."
Beside the young man, the white-robed old man's cloudy old eyes swept across the huge city before him. As surprise flashed across his eyes, he did not see Xiao Yan's figure, which had already gone far away. He frowned and reported to the young man beside him.
"Don't linger, go straight to the main hall, he must be there."
Upon hearing this, the young man narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing deep within his sky-blue pupils. He then moved, and the others behind him followed him into the air, rapidly flying along the straight street in front of them towards the depths of the ancient tomb.
