Chapter 637: Chapter 408: Calamity_4

"There’s no rush at this moment, let’s first deal with Tian Ye’s matter properly."

"..."

As the two walked back, they quietly discussed the plans for escape.

Their voices, growing distant, finally faded away as countless withered vines quietly erupted from the hard stone floor, engulfing the entire cavern and spreading towards the depths......

...

...

...

In the deepest part of the cavern.

Watching the two figures with faint gazes outside the prison, Tian Ye, who would be the fish on the chopping block, showed not a trace of worry; instead, she asked with a touch of flippancy:

"It seems you’ve already discussed how you’re going to deal with me."

As she spoke, Tian Ye tapped on the prison made of runes in front of her: "This Four Symbols Divine Seal is about to collapse, it should be Xu Yuan taking action, right? I should state in advance, ordinary methods have limited effect on me, and if I call that old man Luo over, you’ll just have to take me back....."

"Don’t worry."

Xu Yuan smiled and interrupted, "The method I have here, even if a Saint came, they wouldn’t have the heart to do anything else."

Tian Ye’s beautiful eyes narrowed:

"Oh? A method that even Saints cannot avoid...."

Before she could finish speaking,

Tian Ye’s voice came to an abrupt halt.

She saw Xu Yuan take out the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed.

The Enchantress Divine Taoist Charm was quietly released, and dazzling cherry blossoms fluttered amongst the mist, dreamlike and illusory.

Holding the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed, Xu Yuan took step by step toward Tian Ye:

"Why the silence, are you afraid now?"

"Not exactly afraid, I’m actually quite curious to try the famed Charm Poison of the Enchantress Divine, but Xu Yuan brother, you....."

Tian Ye giggled, her arms wrapped around her ample bosom, cupping her fair chin, the tip of her tiny tongue licked over her red lips, leaving behind little traces of shiny moisture: "...could you resist touching me once I’m affected by the Charm Poison, after all, Tianyan might not always be by our side."

"...." Xu Yuan.

As a "Rhythm Master" that controlled the pace, he felt embarrassed.

He had actually been seduced by an old woman who had been dead for twenty thousand years.

But a pile of glass shards and a beautiful poppy gone for ten thousand years could never have any chemical reaction.

With that thought in mind, Xu Yuan faintly smiled, ready to retort with a joke, but his mind suddenly sensed something amiss.

Where the Dao Charm reached, he felt something was missing in this cavern.

Glancing around, he found nothing unusual, yet the sense of incongruity did not dissipate, instead it intensified.

The hint of flirtation in his heart dissipated instantly, replaced by a strand of eerie panic.

Seeing Xu Yuan’s expression, Tianyan immediately asked:

"Xu Yuan, what’s wrong?"

Xu Yuan’s hand, clutching the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed, tightened slightly, his eyes scanning the dense fog around him as he transmitted gravely:

"Something’s not right. I feel like something’s missing in this cavern, use the Yantian Art to check."

"..."

Tianyan slightly furrowed his brows, his golden pupils shining as he also scanned the surroundings, and then his pupils abruptly contracted.

"Gone...."

"What?"

"Xia Qing is gone."

There was a moment of silence,

Both Tian Ye and Xu Yuan instinctively glanced at the Four Symbols Divine Seal, at the place where Xia Qing’s corpse had been lying.

And there,

it was now empty.

"...." Xu Yuan.

"...." Tian Ye.

Do dead people move?

The obvious answer is no.

Was it that Yin Ghost?

The answer is also no.

The high-level Yin Ghost guarding this place couldn’t possibly have devoured Xia Qing’s Yin-sealing tomb to the point of obliteration without alerting them.

The only one capable of doing so is..... a Saint Level Ghost.

"....."

Seeming to realize something, Tian Ye’s frivolous voice was gone, replaced by a grave and soft whisper,

"Tianyan, remove the Four Symbols Divine Seal!"

"What?"

"If you want to live, let me inform the Saint immediately. This place... this place might now be visited by a Saint Level Ghost!"

"....."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan’s pupils suddenly contracted. He remembered the inexplicable attraction he had to those Yin Ghosts over the past few months and Xia Qing’s initial warnings to him.

There might be something on them that was constantly attracting the terror from the deepest parts of Sword Casting Valley...

"Tianyan, listen to her," Xu Yuan said with a somewhat hoarse voice, "that Saint Level Ghost should be devouring both Xia Qing and the other Yin Ghost within her corpse right now, and there’s probably not much time left."

Without the slightest hesitation upon hearing this, Tianyan cast out a spell,

"Release."

As the words fell, the golden runes floating in the air instantly disintegrated.

With the breaking of the Four Symbols Divine Seal, the sluggish Origin Qi and Will-spirit began to move again. Without any hesitation, Tian Ye immediately took out a token engraved with the character "Ye" from the Sumeru Ring, poured Origin Qi into it, and crushed it with force.

"Crack."

The token shattered, and an invisible ripple appeared instantly, spreading outwards, ignoring all obstacles.

And after doing all this, the three of them had no intention of running away.

Because there was nowhere to run.

Facing a Saint-level Yin Ghost, they had no chance of escaping.

The more frantic their reactions, the faster they might die.

The only thing they could hope for now was that Xia Qing’s corpse and the guardian Yin Ghost would hold on a bit longer, and that the Saint of Jiatiange would arrive faster.

After a quiet moment, Tian Ye relaxed again, her golden pupils sweeping around as she transmitted her thoughts through her Will-spirit:

"What exactly is it about the two of you that can attract ghosts of such a level?"

"....."

Tianyan shook her head to indicate she didn’t know, but then they heard Xu Yuan’s voice suddenly rise:

"I think I know why..."

As he spoke, without waiting for the two women to react, he suddenly stepped away from them, distancing himself by more than twenty zhang.

When the two women turned to look, Xu Yuan lifted the hand holding the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed.

In their sight, his hand, along with the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed, was now quietly entwined and wrapped by countless slender and tough willow branches, with a chilly aura spreading from them.

Glancing back abruptly, they saw that the cave around them had changed.

The mist was so thick that they could not see their hands, and countless willow branches drooped down from the tough rock walls, binding and hanging numerous corpses upside down, vaguely discernible in the mist, and as the draft from the tunnel blew, they swayed gently like wind chimes....

Xu Yuan coughed lightly and said with a dry laugh,

"I.... seem to have always been quite attractive to the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow."
