Chapter 385: Chapter 382

"No need for further talk, form the Three Demons United Heart Formation!"

With a loud shout from the Wolf Demon, a grim expression on his face, he took the lead in forming the Hand Seal. Centered around him, a black Light Array began to radiate, emitting an extremely fierce fluctuation.

At the same time, both the Snake Demon and the Scorpion Demon were also forming Hand Seals, each summoning a black Light Array as well. The three black Light Arrays spread out almost at the same time and overlaid each other.

As the three arrays became one, an astonishing surge of demonic power burst forth. The viscous demonic power quickly formed into an evil demon pattern with three ferocious heads growing on it — heads of a wolf, snake, and scorpion, the three types of demons. The moment this giant evil demon was formed, it lunged toward Ye Xuan, flailing its claws.

Ye Xuan’s expression remained unchanged until the instant the evil demon appeared before him. Only then did he lift the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword and, just as before, he swung it down directly.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Sword Qi collided with the demonic image and exploded upon contact, emitting a sound akin to rapid gunfire.

The three-headed demon lasted only a moment before it was torn in half by the Sword Qi, and even the Array laid down by the three demons was forcefully split open and shattered to pieces.

Pu-chi!

As the demonic image crumbled, the three demon heads were sent flying backwards, spewing blood from their mouths and looking extremely disheveled.

"How is this possible?"

All three demons wore ugly expressions, finding it hard to believe as they stared at Ye Xuan in disbelief. They hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to be so powerful. They thought that their previous defeat was because they only used the Demon Spirit conjured from demonic power against Ye Xuan. But now they were fighting with their true forms, and yet, they were still defeated, and so miserably at that.

This child, despite his low Cultivation level, was inconceivably strong. It was no wonder the other party dared to release them so recklessly.

However, without giving them any chance to catch their breath, Ye Xuan struck again. His figure moved like a bolt of lightning, appearing before the three demons in an instant. A murderous aura emanated from him, and the strong pressure of his bloodline was also released, enveloping the three demon heads.

"Spare our lives, Master!"

The three demons were so frightened that they turned pale. Although they were all extremely vicious and had killed countless people, they were more afraid of death than ordinary people when their own lives were threatened.

The sword light reached the three demons, but then suddenly stopped and was retracted. According to Ye Xuan’s original intent, he wanted to draw blood, but he changed his mind mid-way.

"Isn’t it a bit late to be saying that now?"

Ye Xuan’s face remained indifferent, his eyes flickering with a cold light.

"Not late at all, not at all. We were just joking with you earlier, Master, please don’t take it seriously. We brothers have always been known for keeping our word; how could we possibly be so fickle?" The Snake Demon’s complexion drastically changed as he said hastily.

"Yes, we brothers completely acknowledge your superiority now, Master. Rest assured, we will definitely guide you to the Land of Sin," the Scorpion Demon added, also smiling apologetically.

"Say what you will, I still cannot trust you. How about this, if you allow me to plant a soul mark within your souls, then I may spare your lives," Ye Xuan said coolly.

"What?"

All three demons underwent a change in expression. If Ye Xuan were to implant a soul mark within them, it would undoubtedly mean that they would be under his control from then on and it would be very difficult for them to break free.

"Do you not agree?"

Ye Xuan’s brow furrowed, a hint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, the leading Wolf Demon also gritted his teeth. He had just managed to escape from this ghostly place and if they did not agree to Ye Xuan’s condition, he would surely kill them.

With that thought, the Wolf Demon made his decision and opened up his soul.

Ye Xuan’s expression changed, and then a glimmer of soul power, like a small snake, streaked out of the center of his forehead, leaving a soul mark within the Wolf Demon’s soul. After planting the mark, the fluctuations of soul power from Ye Xuan’s brow slowly settled.

Having established the soul mark, Ye Xuan could now sense the Wolf Demon’s soul. If the latter harbored any malicious intent, he only needed to exert a thought to detonate the mark and put him to death.

Seeing the Wolf Demon accepting the mark, the remaining Snake Demon and Scorpion Demon both sighed and then opened up their souls one after another, allowing Ye Xuan to plant the marks.

"Done."

After setting the two soul marks, Ye Xuan finally relaxed. These three demon heads, even with their schemes, were no longer able to stir up any trouble.

"Now, lead me to the Land of Sin."

Ye Xuan had subjugated the three demons not for fun, but as guides, because if the location of the Land of Sin was really as they said earlier, he definitely wouldn’t be able to find it alone.

"At your command."

The Wolf Demon and the others nodded, then moved ahead of Ye Xuan, leading the way.

...

The Ice Prison was supposed to be a grand prison, yet the space inside was vast. With the three Wolf Demons leading the way, Ye Xuan was able to avoid many detours. Their destination was directly the decidedly sinister location, the Land of Sin.

After over four hours, the four finally arrived at the edge of a dark chasm.

The chasm was a hundred zhang wide and bottomless. From down below, occasionally a mournful wail could be heard, resembling the cries of an infant.

"The location of the Land of Sin is said to be beneath this chasm."

Wolf Demon stopped before the chasm, looking gravely down into its depths.

Ye Xuan, without uttering a word, only paused briefly before leaping down.

After exchanging glances, Wolf Demon and the other two gritted their teeth and immediately followed suit.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Inside the chasm, cold and piercing ghostly winds blew from the bottom and the crevices in the surrounding rocks. If ordinary people were here, they would probably freeze stiff in the blink of an eye.

Amid these ghostly winds, there drifted white orbs of gas, the source of the baby cries heard earlier above the chasm.

"What are these things?"

Ye Xuan, sensing the strangeness of the white orbs, couldn’t help but frown.

"These are Resentful Spirits of mighty beings forever sealed in the Land of Sin, trapped and dead in this place. They exist by relying on the potent evil energy unique to this area, and are extremely sensitive to the breath of living beings." Wolf Demon looked warily at the drifting white orbs around them, even he felt a chilling fear towards these entities.

Whoosh!

Just as Wolf Demon had finished speaking, a white orb not far behind them suddenly stirred and shot violently towards them.

With a piercing screech, a pale face appeared on the orb, wearing a sinister smile with fangs bared, lunging to bite at the four.

"Seeking death!"

The faces of Wolf Demon and the others changed, and they immediately retaliated. Mighty demonic power swept out, striking at the charging Resentful Spirit.

However, the assault engulfed the Resentful Spirit to no effect, as if it had simply passed through.

"Not good!"

The faces of the Three Demons turned ashen. The Resentful Spirit was completely ignoring their attacks. If touched by it, they would surely be devoured to the bone.

Swoosh!

At that moment, Ye Xuan acted. A deep crimson flame ballooned from his palm and he tossed it toward the spirit.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The moment the flames contacted the Resentful Spirit, a charring plume of smoke burst forth, followed by a piercing scream echoing through the air.

A look of sheer terror spread across the strange face, evidently deeply fearful of the power of the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire.

"Go!"

Having repelled the Resentful Spirit, Ye Xuan accelerated his descent towards the bottom of the chasm. Shortly after, all four successfully landed.

The moment they touched the ground, a frightfully cold presence climbed up from beneath their feet, but posed no significant threat and was swiftly dispelled by Ye Xuan.

Having dealt with this minor issue, Ye Xuan looked ahead to see an extremely ancient and dilapidated structure. Rather than a palace, it had the appearance of a fortress. From the outside, it was a three-story edifice with a very strong and eerie aura emanating from it.

"It seems that Lady Dragon Girl must be within one of the levels of this ancient palace."

Wolf Demon looked at the ancient and time-worn palace before him and couldn’t help but feel daunted. It held the most ferocious and evil criminals of the Ice Prison, each deeply loathed and resentful towards Sky Demon Mountain.

Such beings, even he dared not provoke lightly.

Upon reaching this place, Ye Xuan’s heart began to pound with excitement. Now here, it was undoubtedly just one final step to rescue the person from within this decrepit palace.

Outside the palace, there was a Prohibition seal set up, yet fortunately, it was not overly sophisticated. With a bit of effort, Ye Xuan managed to break through the seal.

Entering the palace, Ye Xuan’s sights were greeted by a scene of utter ruin: debris everywhere, collapsed pillars, and barely an inch left intact.

On the ground, there were unfathomable pits, from which wisps of black mist curled, disorienting anyone who breathed it in, even in passing.

Around the damaged palace, white Resentful Spirits drifted past, exuding waves of cold breath.

"Is there no one here?"

After scanning the surroundings, Ye Xuan was bewildered to find not a hint of life throughout the entire floor, as if this place was not a sealed site, but a silent graveyard.

Here, it seemed only the wails of the Resentful Spirits remained, no other sound.
