Chapter 1222: Did you find it?
Liana wasn’t any worse. She chose a different area to fall on. In fact, there were even Yin Ghosts who aimed at her. Though, the surprising thing was that Liana didn’t destroy the ghosts. Instead, she absorbed them.
‘Yin Beacon!’
Dark Energy flowed out of the ghosts around her, entering Liana’s body in torrents. The ghosts seemed to feel the threat and tried to run away. Unfortunately, the speed they lost their bodies’ Yin Energy was too fast. Not to mention that Liana’s skill seemed to drag them in her direction.
*Suuuuuuuuuuu…*
A few moments later, the ghosts around Liana disappeared.
“Someone passed through this place already,” Liana could not help but say as she looked around. It definitely had traits of fights from not long ago.
Roan agreed with her, saying, “That’s to be expected. We’re far from being the strongest group in this place. There were a lot of cultivators who also brought their flying demon beasts. It would have been weird if we were the first ones to arrive.”
The twins’ group looked around and saw that their previous actions attracted the attention of even more ghosts in the surroundings. “Let’s head in before we have to stay here all day fighting ghosts.”
“What about Kentucky? Isn’t he too big to fit inside?” Rean asked.
Liana shook her head, telling him, “The catacombs are pretty spacious on the inside. He might even be able to fly a bit in some places.”
Rean was happy to hear that. The group quickly headed into the catacombs, leaving the ghosts behind. Of course, there were more ghosts inside as well, so they had to cleave their way through.
Surprisingly, Liana was right. Even though his body was that big, Kentucky had space to move and attack. “You three, just stay behind me. Try to keep up with my pace.”
Roan took the chance to ask. “Do you know where you’re going?”
Kentucky nodded, saying, “Yes, I can barely feel Golden-level materials in that direction. It might be the thing you’re looking for. Unless you have another way to find out how to move in this place.”
“Go ahead. We’ll follow you.” Roan obviously didn’t have anything against it as the catacombs always changed shape. Kentucky’s abilities were their best choice at the moment.
*Shraaaaaa!*
Kentucky’s body immediately burst in black and white flames, soon charging ahead. As long as it wasn’t a Yin Ghost with a Semi Yin Ghost Core, Kentucky was more than strong enough to destroy them all on their way. Once those stronger ghosts appeared, Rean, Roan, and Liana would take action. It’s not that Kentucky couldn’t destroy them either, but it was better to share the workload.
A few minutes later, back at the entrance of the catacombs…
*Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam…*
A group of cultivators had arrived, destroying all the Yin Ghosts who had taken the place of the previously destroyed ones. There were a total of 23 cultivators, all Yin Energy and Dark Element users. Thanks to that, the Yin Ghosts’ attacks had little to no effect on their group. If Roan was here, he would definitely recognize two of them, Hedoi and Gala.
“Senior Granto, they definitely went through this path. In fact, quite a few groups did,” Hedoi said as he looked at the damaged area. Hedoi was the leader of the cultivators who had participated in the recruitment. However, he wasn’t the top disciple of the Blood Path Sect. Granto was. In fact, Granto, Clincks, Erbasxe, Kluo, and Rimari were in a higher position than Hedoi.
Granto then looked at the guy who had previously told him about Rean’s group. “Alasci, are you sure that they disappeared just like the reports mentioned?”
“Yes, Senior Granto.”
Granto nodded before he looked behind. Their group obviously wasn’t the only one with the power to come to this place, so he could see and hear more battles happening behind. Let alone that more groups should have arrived already. He should have been the first one or had been moving together with the first groups. However, he had to go after the low-level cultivators of the Sacred Land at first because of Gille’s orders. That’s why his group had arrived here far later than they should’ve. “The catacombs act like a labyrinth that changes shape every year. It’ll take too long to find our target if we stick together. With that said, we will separate into six groups.”
“The groups are Clincks, Hedoi, Erbasxe, Kluo, Rimari, and me. We’re all in the Elemental Transformation Realm, so capturing that Soul Transformation Realm trash shouldn’t be a problem. Once we get inside, we’ll follow different paths. Remember, Sect Master Gille’s orders are our main priority. If you don’t want to die by his hands later, you better do as he orders.”
Granto could feel the approach of the other teams. “Alright, let’s go.”
Inside the catacombs…
‘Death Style, Crescent Moon!’
A wave of Dark and Light Element swept through the ghosts in a small room. The catacombs had large areas where Kentucky could move inside quite freely, but there were many areas where only Roan, Rean, and Liana could enter and check.
*Gruaaaaaaaa!*
With a piercing scream, a ghost with a Semi Yin Core retaliated against Roan’s attack.
*Boom!*
However, it didn’t get destroyed this time. Although it had a lot of damage, it still could fight. Soon after, it launched itself against Rean’s group.
Rean was taken aback for a moment. However, it was not because the ghost survived, but because it was siphoning his life force. Naturally, Roan and Liana noticed that, but to a much smaller degree.
Liana then jumped forward after that.
‘Yin Control!’
The Yin Energy in the entire room fell under her command, including the Yin Energy inside the ghost. Because of that, the ghost’s charge was severely slowed down. Rean and Roan didn’t waste time and immediately took the chance to attack.
‘Death Style, Three Claws of the Dragon!’
‘Life Fire, Flame Emperor Slash!’
*Swish, swish, swish, swish!*
Eventually, the ghost couldn’t resist anymore and disappeared as his Semi Yin Ghost Core broke apart.
Behind the group, Kentucky looked through the entrance to see what happened inside. “So, did you find it?”
