They indeed were not someone we could afford to provoke.
Ye Yunfei also felt his hair standing on end.
One had to know that the pressure of the pool water at this depth was already incredibly terrifying; ordinary creatures simply could not reach this place.
The fact that those women down below, whether dead or alive, could appear at this depth proved they were definitely not ordinary.
Ye Yunfei hurriedly reached out to touch the position on the well wall that Xuanlong Daozhang had mentioned. Sure enough, he quickly found a small hole containing over a dozen spatial rings.
Quick!
I sense two faint glimmers of light; I don't know which female corpse has opened its eyes!
Too terrifying!
Xuanlong Daozhang suddenly cried out in alarm.
He used to be the number one figure in the Tianxiong Domain, and now he was an ancient relic who had crawled out of the ground. Normally, it should be him scaring others, but here in this deep pool, he was the one getting frightened to the core.
There was no helping it. The history of this deep pool was far too ancient, traceable back to remote antiquity. Furthermore, even a Half-Emperor expert would be incapable of reaching such depths in this mysterious pool. The sudden emergence of so many eerie corpses from its depths was naturally terrifying.
Enough, let's get out immediately!
Ye Yunfei swiftly retrieved the dozen-plus spatial rings and immediately shot upwards.
Xuanlong Daozhang's palace also sped upwards like a rubber ball in water.
Splash, splash...
Just then, sounds of water churning came from below. Then, Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang sensed strands of hair, like black aquatic weeds, swiftly extending upwards.
So there really is something strange! They're taking action!
Quick, escape!
Xuanlong Daozhang yelled, suddenly accelerating.
Ye Yunfei didn't dare delay either. Pushing his speed to the limit, he shot upwards like lightning, instantly reaching a position only four to five hundred meters from the pool's mouth.
Right at that moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly felt his right foot tighten. A strand of black hair had already entangled his ankle, and a terrifying force began pulling Ye Yunfei's body downwards.
At the same time, a strand of black hair also entangled Xuanlong Daozhang's palace, pulling it down as well.
Hold on! Don't let them pull us down! The fact that just a single strand of hair has such terrifying power means we are no match for them!
Xuanlong Daozhang cried out.
Boom…
Vast, majestic energy pressure poured out from within the palace. Xuanlong Daozhang seemed to be going all out, the energy he unleashed at least several times stronger than usual. Simultaneously, sharp beams of light slashed out from the palace, continuously hacking at that strand of hair.
Shoop!
Finally, that strand of hair was shaken off. Xuanlong Daozhang's palace soared upwards like it was flying.
However, he hadn't forgotten Ye Yunfei. He sent out beams of sword-like light, slashing at the strand of hair entangling Ye Yunfei's right ankle.
Ye Yunfei drew his Half-Emperor Longsword and slashed down, finally shaking off that strand of hair.
Shoop!
Ye Yunfei's figure shot upwards at extreme speed. Finally, he burst out of the water pool together with Xuanlong Daozhang's palace, soaring into the sky.
Splash, splash...
The dark pool water below churned violently. Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang saw several female corpses slowly floating up from the water. All were breathtakingly beautiful, with flawless jade-like skin and bones, draped in white long gowns. Yet their eyes were tightly shut, devoid of any lifeforce, appearing extraordinarily eerie.
Shoop, shoop...
Suddenly, the scalp-hair of these female corpses began growing wildly, transforming into streams of black energy that swept towards Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang.
Too vicious! They even came out to hunt us!
Xuanlong Daozhang roared in anger.
Boom!
A horsetail whisk flew out from the palace. Each strand of dust-hair stiffened, becoming like rigid steel wires, blocking against the onslaught of black hair.
Boom, boom...
The attacks from both sides collided, erupting into terrifying shockwaves of energy that violently shook this stretch of heaven and earth. Space shattered, forming dark spatial rifts.
Stop fighting. Let's just leave quickly.
We should avoid provoking these things of unknown origin as much as possible.
Ye Yunfei said to Xuanlong Daozhang.
Ye Yunfei knew these two pools were extremely unusual. In his past life, even after becoming a Heavenly Emperor, he had personally come to explore them but couldn't uncover their truths. With his current strength plus Xuanlong Daozhang, they simply couldn't afford to provoke these two pools.
What rotten luck!
The last time I came here, there was nothing. I never expected to encounter these bizarre things this time.
Xuanlong Daozhang said.
However, he had no intention of tangling with these female corpses any further, because several more were floating up from within the pool.
Even more frighteningly, the white Yang Pool beside it also began churning, as if something was rising from its waters.
Let's go!
Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang simultaneously shot towards the outside of this ruin.
Swish, swish...
From behind them, strands of black hair, like serpents of darkness, traversed the sky, constantly piercing through space as they gave chase.
Dammit! These things really are tenacious!
Xuanlong Daozhang yelled.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei brandished his Half-Emperor Longsword, unleashing the sword intent of One Sword to Pacify the World, and struck back towards the rear.
A thick, dazzling sword radiance, like a heavenly pillar, collided with those strands of black hair.
Hm?
This is the sword dao heritage of the Immortal Sword Palace!
Does he have a connection to the Immortal Sword Palace?
A voice filled with surprise suddenly echoed from the depths of the black pool.
Never mind.
Then, the voice spoke again.
As the words fell, all the female corpses floating on the surface of the pool ceased their attacks. They withdrew their hair and disappeared in an instant.
The other white pool also began to calm down.
The two pools returned to stillness.
This area also fell into utter silence once more, resuming its previous desolate atmosphere.
By now, Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang had already rushed out of the ruin. Looking back at the two pools, now calm again, their hearts were still palpitating with lingering fear.
Even we ended up so disheveled coming here. Henceforth, these Yang and Yin pools will become one of the most terrifying forbidden lands in the entire Tianxiong Domain.
Xuanlong Daozhang sighed with emotion.
Not just the Tianxiong Domain; even within the entire Feixian Continent, few could afford to provoke these two pools.
I suspect that the existences within these two pools might be connected to the legendary Deities.
Ye Yunfei said with a solemn expression.
A terrifying existence that even a Heavenly Emperor couldn't explore seemed to have no other reasonable explanation except being connected to the Deities.
What?
These two pools are connected to the legendary Deities?
Kid, you're exaggerating too much.
You don't actually suspect there are Deities residing in these pools, do you?
Deities are existences of the Nine Heavens. This is just a nameless ruin within the Feixian Continent. How could a Deity be here?
Hearing this, Xuanlong Daozhang immediately exclaimed.
It's hard to say, but we cannot rule out the possibility.
However, regardless of what's inside, it's something we cannot provoke.
Let's just put as much distance between us and this place as we can.
Ye Yunfei said. He took out his green Flying Boat, entered it, and the vessel transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into the distance in an instant.
Alright, kid. Those dozen-plus spatial rings are still on you. Take them out. Don't think you can play dumb.
Inside the Flying Boat, Xuanlong Daozhang suddenly spoke up.
