Chapter 1706
Yunxiao’s eyes suddenly turned solemn as he said, ” “Did anyone discover that this place is actually a city?”
Everyone’s heart trembled, and they looked carefully.
Under the White snow, there were many signs of buildings, and the scale was extremely large. Everywhere his divine sense covered, it was full of ruins.
“This bi an ...”
The few of them were stunned.
Lord mu Jie, brother Gao Han, ” Yunxiao said. do you have any information? ”
The two of them shook their heads.
“I only found the ancient map from the ancient books,” Yuan gaohan said.”As for whether there are people living here, I have no idea.”
“And it looks like it’s not a small city either. Perhaps it was once a famous giant city,” mu Jie said.
let’s figure out the terrain of this city first, ” Yunxiao said. then, we’ll find a way to find the ice essence.
that’s right, ” Yuan gaohan also said. since there’s a city, there’s naturally a core. Perhaps there are ancient treasures that have been dormant for countless years waiting for us.
When the few of them heard this, they felt that it made sense, and their hearts began to heat up.
The five of them flew into the sky and began to explore the terrain in different directions.
Yunxiao flew for a while, but he did not find anything. The structure of the entire city was not complicated, but the material used to build it was quite different from the current one.
He looked down and shot out a flame from his hand.
The fire turned into the shape of a Phoenix and flew past the snow.
A large patch of white snow immediately evaporated, revealing a wide street.
Yunxiao flew down and stepped on the hard stone. He could not help but frown when he saw several corpses lying on the street.
Three human corpses and one beast corpse.
Without the Snow’s ice and the rising temperature from the fire, the corpses began to change shape and rot. Then, they shrank into a mummified corpse and became unrecognizable.
Yunxiao carefully examined every corpse.
The final conclusion was that the three people had died at the hands of the demonic beast, and the demonic beast had been killed by a powerful sword Qi that had pierced through its back.
“What’s going on with this city? Even if there were a fight between demon beasts and humans, the bodies should have been cleaned up after the fight, so it shouldn’t have been left on the streets, unless it was a Suan ni.”
A conclusion came to his mind. That was, this battle had directly led to the destruction of the city and was thus buried in history. This was why the traces of the last battle were preserved.
“Swish!”
Suddenly, a hurried sound of something breaking through the air rang out. It shot straight into the clouds and exploded above the entire city.
Yunxiao’s face flickered. That direction was exactly where Yuan gaohan had gone, so he must have thrown out the signal when he encountered danger.
His figure disappeared in a flash.
He performed a dozen large-scale teleportations in the air in one go, then transformed into a bolt of lightning and fled at high speed.
In just half a cup of tea’s time, Yunxiao appeared in the sky above the signal and looked down.
Yuan gaohan was sitting cross-legged on the top of a huge building, a defensive barrier around him, struggling to resist the attacks coming from all directions.
Those attacks did not have physical bodies, but some strangely shaped spirits.
“Demonic soul!”
Yunxiao immediately recognized those spirits as the souls of dead demon beasts.
There were a total of four monster souls attacking Yuan gaohan. They were of the same shape and weren’t very strong, but Yuan gaohan seemed to be extremely weak and couldn’t hold on much longer.
Yuan gaohan sensed Yunxiao’s presence at the first moment, and he said with great joy, ” young master Yun, please save me! I can’t hold on any longer!
With a wave of his hand, Yunxiao shot out four beams of flames toward the demon Souls.
The four demonic souls felt the extreme heat and all let out sharp and miserable cries. They plunged into the ground and flew into the building, disappearing.
“CAW!”
The flames flew past Yuan gaohan’s body and slowly burned out.
Overjoyed, Yuan gaohan jumped up and flew to Yunxiao’s side. He patted his chest and said, ” “I almost died.”
Yunxiao looked at his extremely pale face and asked in confusion, ” “That demonic soul isn’t that powerful. It shouldn’t be a match for you. And with your spiritual power, even if you can’t win, you should be able to easily escape.”
Yuan gaohan glared at him and said,”what do you think I’m doing here?” He had escaped from there. I don’t know what those four monster souls were formed from, but they’re specialized in countering mental energy attacks. Under their joint attack, I can’t even use teleportation.”
“It’s specialized in countering spiritual attacks?”
Yunxiao was taken aback, and then he seemed to remember something. “Could it be the dark Demon clan of the demon clan?”
“You’re right,” Yuan gaohan said in surprise. I’ve read about that form in an ancient book before. The dark Demon clan is very strange. They possess powerful mental power, and they specialize in devouring mental power for cultivation. They are very rare.”
Yunxiao frowned. but, why are the souls of the dark Demon clan here? ” And there are four of them.”
Yuan gaohan pointed below and sneered,”There are even more inside. I encountered at least twenty demonic souls, and when I teleported out, these four caught up to me and kept absorbing my energy, which was why I was trapped here.”
is it true? ” Yunxiao asked. was the last destructive battle here against the demons? ”
“It’s very likely.” Yuan gaohan nodded,”you should have found a lot of corpses along the way.”
it’s not strange that the city was destroyed after the war with the demons, ” Yunxiao said. what’s strange is how a large number of Demon Souls were produced. Then, do the souls of these humans still exist?”
Yuan gaohan was stunned for a moment before he burst out laughing,”How can it still be here? If there is, the two sects will fight again, and only one side will be left.”
...
‘That’s true,’ Yunxiao said. We should avoid these Demon Souls as much as possible. We can’t be bothered to find out what happened in the past and what happened now. It’s fine as long as it doesn’t affect the extraction of the ice essence.”
“If you think so, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed,” Yuan gaohan said with a strange expression.
what? ” Yunxiao asked. what? ”
“I found the ice essence under this building,” Yuan gaohan said.”I was overjoyed and was about to take it when a large number of Demon Souls gushed out from the ice essence. The reason why these demons would leave behind their souls after death was most likely related to the environment and the ice essence. The ice essence became their best home.”
Demon Soul? ” Yunxiao’s face flickered. doesn’t that mean we’ll encounter a Demon Soul when we take the ice essence? ”
“It’s most likely so.”
Mu Jie’s voice was heard. He had also rushed over after seeing the signal. He took out a blue ice Stone from his sleeve, and said, ” “I also encountered a demonic soul when I took this Ice Spirit.”
“It’s indeed the extreme northern ice Spirit, what a strong chill!”
Yunxiao’s pupils constricted, and he looked overjoyed. Although he knew that there were many ice spirits here, he was still very happy to see them.
“I don’t care what kind of Demon Soul it is. If it stops us from taking the ice essence, then it will die with us!”
Chen Yunyu and su lianyi also arrived one after another. The five of them immediately sneaked into the building in front of them.
...
From the internal structure, it could be seen that this was originally a Palace. The internal structure was very magnificent, but it had been frozen into ice crystals and was covered in silver.
Large amounts of ice and snow were frozen, sealing off the surrounding passages.
Yunxiao snapped his fingers, and a flame flickered on his fingertips.
The flames continued to expand and spread in all directions.
A “Hua la” sound spread out, and a large amount of white smoke rose everywhere. The shape of the palace’s interior was gradually revealed.
Although everyone had sensed that something was amiss when they entered, they were still shocked when their overall form appeared under the flames.
Carved beams and jade carvings appeared in the mist. On the dome, there was a carving of a Phoenix spreading its wings, a Green Dragon absorbing water, and a straight road slowly descending along the White jade steps.
The four walls of the hall were lit with crystal lamps, pearls were the curtains, and the pillars were inlaid with Platinum.
There was a huge Moon Pearl hanging on the dome of the hall. Under the illumination of the flames, the ice gradually melted and gave off a brilliant light, like the sun and the moon.
The White jade floor tiles under everyone’s feet were carved into the ground to form a Lotus. A huge five-stem lotus flower was in the center, giving off the feeling of a Lotus blooming with each step. It made people stop in their tracks and not dare to move forward.
“Is this Xuanji the Imperial Palace?”
Everyone was stunned, and Yuan gaohan’s eyes widened even more. He had come down once before and could feel the vast and magnificent surroundings, but he didn’t expect it to be so magnificent and luxurious.
The concept of ” country ” was not strong in the realm of heavenly martial arts, and there was not much difference between a country and a sect. Moreover, there was no ‘country’ among the powerful forces in the realm of heavenly martial arts.
In the Western Region, there was the ancient martial Kingdom that guarded the five Cloud Mountain, the neighboring Yin Chu Kingdom, and the East Han Kingdom that bordered the northern and eastern regions. They were considered the top three empires in the heavenly martial continent.
However, even among these three countries, other than the ancient martial Empire, who guarded the five Cloud Mountain and was supported by the sanctuary, the other two empires only had one main city. They did not have much of a reputation.
The magnificent scene in front of everyone was definitely not the structure of a sect. With a glance, they knew that it was the Imperial Palace of a ‘country’.
Yunxiao came back to his senses. No matter how magnificent and powerful this place was in the past, it had become a speck of dust in history.
“Brother Gao Han, where’s the ice Spirit?”
Yuan gaohan also came back to his senses and pointed to the passage at the side,”If I didn’t remember wrongly, I should have encountered an Ice Spirit after entering this place, followed by a large number of demonic souls.”
stop sighing, ” Yunxiao said. let’s go.
He was the first to walk into the passage. The divine flame turned into the shape of a child and flew in front of him, melting the ice.
The extreme northern ice essence was the essence of ice soul. It would not change after being roasted for a short period of time.
The group walked down the Jade steps. On the floating windows on both sides, there were many pictures that recorded the major events of this country. There were conquests, sacrifices, duels, cultivation, and various clan emblems that highlighted the ancient clans that had once existed.
After walking hundreds of meters down the stone steps, Yunxiao stopped.
There was an extremely large ice wall blocking their way. The flame child opened its mouth and spat out a ball of fire. It burned the ice wall, but it was unable to melt.
“?! It’s such a big piece of ice essence!”
Yunxiao’s eyes popped out, full of excitement and joy.
The ice wall was more than ten Zhang in both length and width, and its value was immeasurable if dug out.
