Chapter 559 Passage
Lei Feifei noticed Yun Lintian’s abnormal gaze. She followed his gaze and discovered the concealment formation after concentrating.
“Formation?” Lei Feifei said in doubt.
Her voice attracted everyone’s attention, making them follow her gaze and immediately discover the formation.
“This is a concealment formation. Judging from its faint power, I believe it should be there for thousands of years.” Yun Lintian said while approaching the formation.
Zhou Qingyu and Lei Feifei glanced at each other in surprise. Yun Lintian could actually discover this while they couldn’t. What was this mean? It meant his perception was even more terrifying than the peak Monarch… What a monster!
What they didn’t know was that Yun Lintian wasn’t the one who discovered it, but Hongyue.
Meanwhile, Ji Zhiyin’s face turned gloomy. The more brilliant Yun Lintian was, the more uncomfortable she felt. Deep down, she knew that it was the best decision to recruit Yun Lintian to the group, but her jealousy was stronger. She simply didn’t want to admit it.
As for Lei Jin and Qin Wuji. They started to grow numb to Yun Lintian’s multi-talents already. They even looked forward to seeing what else he had hidden from them.
“You can dismantle it at ease. There’s no trap behind it.” Hongyue gave an instruction.
Yun Lintian felt it was convenient to have Hongyue. It was the best decision to bring Hongyue with him back then. He floated up and destroyed the formation’s node directly before Zhou Qingyu and others could react.
Bang!
The concealment formation was shattered into pieces, revealing a small black lever behind it.
Yun Lintian landed on the ground and turned to Zhou Qingyu. “I’ll leave the decision to you, Senior Zhou.”
Zhou Qingyu observed the lever carefully and did not find anything unusual. She asked. “Do you have an idea?”
Yun Lintian thought for a moment. He didn’t want to reveal the existence of Soul Devourer right away because the soul pond might be exposed. Hence, he chose an alternative way to explain it. “Since this lever appeared here, it means someone had created this place up. As everyone knew, this Black Jade can be used to imprison a soul. I believe there is a terrifying existence being locked up in this place… However, there are too many creatures that can drain one’s soul. I have no idea what it is.”
He looked at Zhou Qingyu and said further. “There are two ways. One is to strengthen the defense here and leave this place forever. Second is to pull this lever and face that existence.”
Everyone went silent and waited for Zhou Qingyu to make a decision. Leaving this place meant Black Jade Island would lose the source of income forever. At the same time, facing an unknown existence wasn’t a good choice either. This made Zhou Qingyu fall into a dilemma.
Lei Feifei silently looked at Zhou Qingyu. Although they were best friends, Lei Feifei couldn’t make a decision on her behalf. She could only remain silent and support whatever Zhou Qingyu’s decision was.
A while later, Zhou Qingyu’s eyes became resolute as she said. “Everyone. Prepare yourself for a battle.” She then turned to Lei Feifei and said apologetically. “Feifei, I’m sorry. It seems I have to trouble you.”
Lei Feifei grabbed her best friend’s hands and said. “What are you apologizing for? You’ve helped me several times before. It’s my turn to help you now.”
A warm current flushed into Zhou Qingyu’s heart. She took a deep breath and said sincerely. “Thank you.”
Yun Lintian broke their emotional moment by saying. “Sister Lei, I suggest that you lead the way.”
“How dare you!?” Ji Zhiyin released her killing intent in anger upon hearing this.
Lei Feifei waved her hand, and Ji Zhiyin’s killing intent was utterly isolated from Yun Lintian. She said. “Step down. He must have a reason.”
Yun Lintian glanced at Ji Zhiyin and was about to say something, but Lei Jin spoke first. “The lightning element is a bane of a soul creature. Elder Mu’s suggestion is not wrong, but let this old man stand in the front.”
Yun Lintian smiled and nodded his head. “Although we don’t know yet whether this existence is a soul creature, having the lightning attribute practitioner leading is the best way to go.”
Zhou Qingyu motioned with her chin, and An Lang quickly floated up before pulling the lever down.
Crackle!
The Black Jade wall in front of everyone gradually shook and separated from each other, revealing a passage behind it. A wave of foul air immediately rushed out, causing everyone to cover their nose. be𝚍no𝚟𝚎l.𝚌𝚘m
Lei Jin stepped forward and spread his Spiritual Sense into the passage. In the next moment, he turned around and said. “There’s nothing along the passage, but I can’t see its end.”
Yun Lintian suddenly spoke. “Senior, please try to send a lightning attack into the passage.”
Lei Jin nodded and pointed his finger at the dark passage. A flash of lightning beam shot out and disappeared into the darkness as if nothing had happened.
“Nothing?” Lei Feifei frowned.
Just as Ji Zhiyin was about to say something, a high-pitched scream echoed from the passage.
“Ahhh!”
The scream fiercely pierced everyone’s eardrums, causing them to channel their profound energy to defend themselves involuntarily.
Lei Jin immediately moved and sent a few lightning beams into the passage. This time, the scream was even louder, to the point everyone could feel their soul shaking.
“Hurry up, Senior. Use your powerful move!” Yun Lintian shouted while covering himself and Linlin with a thick profound defense.
This time, Lei Feifei stepped forward and opened her palm, sending a giant thunder palm print into the passage.
Rumble—
The passage trembled with thunder roarings, but it was failed to make the scream quiet down. Everyone could feel the scream coming closer as if the owner of the scream was rushing toward them.
Lei Jin, who was standing at the forefront, perceived a terrifying pressure drawing closer. He didn’t hesitate to utilize his profound energy and sent out his powerful move, Thunder Prison!
