Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path
Tianshu Domain, night.
Above the ruins of the Tower to Heaven, a large command tent stood silently. The light emitted by each lantern dispersed the darkness of the night, and nurous figures shuttled through.
Due to the total loss of power supply, the Tianshu Domain had no choice but to abandon the Tianshu Base located deep underground and comprehensively transfer all personnel to the surface. But because the surface buildings were all under reconstruction, they could only temporarily live in makeshift tents for the ti being.
In a certain inconspicuous tent right in the center, Su Zhiwei, wearing a white training suit, was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed.
Suddenly, she seed to have sensed sothing, and her eyes snapped open!
"This is..."
Su Zhiwei frowned slightly, her gaze looking towards a certain direction in the Tianshu Domain.
After a brief silence, a voice sounded from outside the tent:
"Lord of the Red Dust."
"Hong Xiu?" Su Zhiwei answered imdiately, "Co in."
As the curtain was lifted, a black Enforcers trench coat rolled up bursts of cold wind and walked in from outside. Hong Xiu's gaze was incomparably serious.
"Lord of the Red Dust, I sensed a wisp of... a bizarre Aura that doesn't belong to the Fourteen Divine Paths appearing within the Tianshu Domain."
"You sensed it too?"
Su Zhiwei was sowhat surprised. After all, the Aura just now flashed past in an instant and was extrely weak. Ordinary Divine Path Possessors would almost find it impossible to detect... Hong Xiu was, after all, an Eighth Stage Asura, and was extrely sensitive to this kind of unfamiliar and threatening Aura.
"Did the Lord of the Red Dust sense it too?"
"Mm..." Su Zhiwei paused for a mont, "If my guess is correct, that Aura should belong to... the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path."
"The Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path? The Path of Ghosts, one of the four Lost Divine Paths?" Hong Xiu spoke up in astonishnt, "But why would the Aura of the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path appear in the Tianshu Domain?"
"The location of the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path is directly below the Tianshu Domain."
"What??"
Hong Xiu was incomparably shocked.
The Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path had already been lost a very, very long ti ago, even earlier than the Path of the Sovereign. In this era, almost no one knew the location of the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path... But Su Zhiwei was different. Before the Great Cataclysm occurred, she happened to encounter the Path of Ghosts in a certain town.
"The Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path suddenly leaked an Aura... could it be that so unforeseen event has occurred?" Hong Xiu's frown grew deeper and deeper.
Su Zhiwei's gaze once again looked towards the direction the Aura drifted from. After a brief pondering, she gave the order:
"Bring so people, let's go over and take a look."
...
"The Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path is right down here?"
Jian Changsheng looked at a perfectly ordinary piece of ruined earth and spoke up sowhat suspiciously, "It doesn't look like anything special... Diamonds, did you rember wrong?"
"Impossible. I've been here too many tis, it's impossible for to rember wrong." Sun Bumian answered quite confidently, "The Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path is at a very deep location underground. You can't see any clues at all from the surface."
"Then how should we go down?" Chu Muyun asked.
Jian Changsheng answered matter-of-factly:
"Simple. Just dig a hole and drill down."
"That's just you!" Sun Bumian rolled his eyes, "Only a brute would use such a thod... My Awakened Lion can tunnel through the earth and can directly take you guys to sink down."
"Tch, what's so great about tunneling through the earth?" Jian Changsheng made a face at Sun Bumian.
"Where's Hearts? Why isn't Hearts speaking?"
Everyone's gazes looked behind them. A figure draped in a Theatrical Robe stood in a corner to the side, seemingly lost in deep thought about sothing.
Chen Ling's gaze stared fixedly at the land before his eyes for a long ti before he slowly spoke:
"It seems... a 'brute' has already gone down ahead of ti."
"?"
Everyone stepped forward in doubt, only to discover that there was already an extra pitch-black deep hole on the ground over there. The mouth of the hole was about half a ter wide, so deep and secluded that it was unknown where it led to. Wisps of chilling cold air drifted out from below, making people unable to help but shiver.
"Holy crap, a colleague!" Jian Changsheng's eyes widened. He sensed the faint Aura inside the hole, and his brows subsequently furrowed,
"Wait, this Killing Intent... why does it feel sowhat familiar?"
"Soone got there first?" Sun Bumian rubbed his chin in astonishnt. "Besides , there's actually soone else in this era who can accurately find the location of the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path..."
"I have a rather bad premonition." Chu Muyun frowned and spoke up.
At this crucial juncture, soone taking the lead to enter the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path one step ahead of ti was undoubtedly bad news for Chen Ling and the others. This ant that they might not only have to guard against attacks from the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path, but also be careful of this "first arriver".
Chu Muyun turned his head to look at Chen Ling:
"What should we do? Do we continue going down? Or should we wait a bit longer?"
Chen Ling pondered for a mont and was just about to speak. Suddenly, he seed to have noticed sothing and looked towards a certain direction in the Tianshu Domain.
Under the dim sky, nurous figures exuding terrifying auras were swarming over here overwhelmingly, seemingly also having sensed the mutation of the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path.
"It seems we no longer have a choice." Chen Ling gave the order without hesitation,
"Down!"
The Awakened Lion pendant on Sun Bumian's wrist shook gently. The next second, a massive Awakened Lion was sketched out from the void, swallowing everyone present in one gulp, and then tunneled into the earth, vanishing without a trace.
Just a few short seconds later, several figures landed around the area one after another.
"The Aura ca from here."
Hong Xiu's gaze locked onto the pitch-black deep pit on the ground, her frown growing tighter. "Such an ancient Killing Intent... Which one from the Ancient Vault of the Military Path has run out?"
Su Zhiwei glanced at the deep pit. Her gaze seed to pierce through the thick layers of soil, directly looking at the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path in the extre depths.
"Lord of the Red Dust, should we go down?"
"...No."
Su Zhiwei shook her head, "The Tianshu Domain is currently undergoing reconstruction. We should try our best not to cause extra complications... Send people to surround this place and remain on high alert at all tis."
"Yes."
...
The burning multicolored Awakened Lion shuttled through the depths of the earth.
By everyone's side, a killing intent passage leading straight to the center of the earth was like a formless sword piercing into the underground. The deeper they went, the more astonishing the killing intent emanating from within beca.
Through the body of the Awakened Lion, Chen Ling stared at that killing intent passage, the doubts in his heart growing ever thicker...
Such ancient Killing Intent reminded him of those giant pits in the depths of the Ancient Vault of the Military Path. Probably only a God of Slaughter on Bai Qi's level could have such might... But how could a God of Slaughter of that level suddenly appear here?
Who awakened this God of Slaughter?
Just as Chen Ling was pondering, the Awakened Lion seed to crash into a certain layer of barrier. Everyone wrapped inside jolted violently. Jian Changsheng lost his center of gravity and bumped his head right into Jiang Xiaohua's chest, emitting a dull thud like crashing into a rock.
"Ouch!" Jian Changsheng rubbed his reddened forehead, unable to help but complain,
"What are you doing, Diamonds? Do you know how to drive a lion?!"
"..."
Sun Bumian's voice sounded from inside the Awakened Lion:
"We've entered the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path."
