Chapter 113: Chapter 104: Annihilation Array
The voice was deep and powerful, echoing like thunder throughout the grand hall. It reverberated from the rafters, lingering long after.
"A Sound Recording Seal?"
Nie Yun knew it wasn’t a person speaking in the hall, but a special type of seal.
This kind of seal could store words spoken in advance. Once it ca into contact with a compatible bloodline, it would automatically play the ssage. It was quite astonishing, really. Its function was similar to a mory Crystal Stone, but it could preserve the recording for much longer, and the sound was louder when triggered.
"...To be able to activate the seal, you must be a descendant of mine, Luoo Qu. You are worthy of enjoying what I have left behind!"
The voice continued. The group watched as the seal before them rippled like water, spreading outward to form a portal large enough for a person to enter.
"Let’s go in!"
They filed through the portal one by one. Just as they all entered, a loud RUMBLE sounded. The portal vanished, and the watery seal once again enveloped the hall.
"The seal can close again? Now those two Demons shouldn’t be able to get in!"
Seeing the seal restore itself, Nie Yun’s eyes lit up.
’Although King Ning and King Tong were battered by the traps, with their strength, they’ll definitely be able to catch up. My original plan was to quickly loot any treasure we found and then lead everyone away without a direct confrontation. But now, it seems the Luoo Family ancestor already considered this possibility. He made it so only those with the bloodline can pass through the seal. Once inside, the seal restores itself. This way, we don’t have to be afraid even if they pursue us. After all, there’s no way they can break this seal!’
"Exactly!"
The others realized this as well, their eyes brightening. They turned to look outside. The seal was transparent and didn’t obstruct their view. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before two stumbling figures erged from the mist.
King Ning and the Demon King no longer had their previous noble appearance. Not only were their clothes tattered and their figures wretched, but their faces were also swollen like pumpkins. If they hadn’t known it was them, no one would have recognized them.
"How dare you harm us! You’re all going to die today!"
Seeing the group not far away, King Ning’s miserable figure paused for a mont. Then, with an excited roar, he leaped into the air and threw a punch!
BOOM!
A gale howled. The power of a Peak of Qi Sect cultivator ford a swirling hurricane that swept viciously toward the group.
BUZZ!
Before the hurricane could reach them, a ripple passed through the seal. The powerful fist wind, imbued with Four Symbols Power, instantly vanished into thin air as if it had never existed.
"This is the seal’s power? Why is there a seal here...?"
King Ning stared in disbelief at the transparent seal before him and began to rapidly punch it with both fists.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The power of a Peak of Qi Sect expert smashed wildly against the seal, and the rippling aura ford swirling airwaves that let out a piercing shriek.
"It’s a good thing we hid inside the seal, otherwise..."
Seeing that King Ning still possessed such imnse power despite his swollen face and tattered clothes, Nie Yun clicked his tongue in amazent.
’If it weren’t for the seal,’ he thought, ’we really would have been no match for him!’
’The Peak of Qi Sect is truly terrifying!’
"King Ning, this seal was set by an Ultimate Venerable Peak Powerhouse. We couldn’t break it even if we were uninjured, let alone now!" King Tong, not wanting King Ning to be so reckless, watched for a mont before shaking his head.
"We can’t break it? Are we just supposed to stand here and watch them take the treasure, doing nothing?"
King Ning cried out in frustration.
"Doing nothing? Not at all. They’ll have to co out once they get the treasure. Hmph, as long as they co out, I refuse to believe they can escape!"
A cold glint flashed in King Tong’s eyes.
"Wait for them to walk into our trap? Good idea. We can use this ti to recover. The treasure will still be ours in the end!" King Ning realized the logic in this, cald down, and chuckled sinisterly.
’So what if you got in? I’ll just wait here at the entrance. You’ll have to co out sooner or later, and when you do, I’ll see how you escape!’
"Nie Yun, what if they just keep watch out there..."
The seal blocked all sound, so the group didn’t know what the two Demons were saying. However, seeing them stop their attacks and instead sit down to recover their Primordial Qi, Luoqing City knew what they were planning and couldn’t help but ask.
By now, everyone knew Nie Yun was full of ideas and had unconsciously started to see him as their backbone.
"Don’t worry about it. If they want to wait, let them. Right now, our strength isn’t enough to deal with two Peak of Qi Sect Demons. But after we get the treasure, they’ll probably be the ones running away!"
Nie Yun smiled faintly, not the least bit concerned.
’I don’t know what’s in this grand hall, but since the Demons place so much importance on it, it must be extraordinary. Besides, even if I don’t get any treasure, I still have five Peak of Armor Realm Demon Cores on . As long as I absorb all the power from these Demon Cores, my strength will definitely increase several tis over. Dealing with these two Peak of Qi Sect Realm Demons then will be no problem at all!’
’So, for ,’ Nie Yun thought, ’if these two guys were to flee now, they might still have a chance. But since they’ve chosen not to leave and are even planning to intercept us, their deaths are already sealed.’
"Treasure? Right, what kind of treasure is in here?"
Hearing the young man’s words, the girl’s eyes lit up. She stopped paying attention to the two Demons outside the seal and turned to walk deeper into the grand hall.
The inside of the grand hall looked just as it did from outside the seal: completely empty. There didn’t seem to be any treasure at all. At the far end of the hall stood nine stone pillars, each as tall as a person. Behind every pillar was a hole about the size of a soccer ball, its opening pitch-black, its depth impossible to gauge.
"Could the treasure be behind the stone pillars?" Seeing such a strange scene inside the hall, even Luoo Zhanhao was stunned.
Although Luoo Qu Tomb was left by their ancestor, the records they had were not detailed. On top of that, the records had been stolen by the Demons, so even he wasn’t entirely clear on the situation.
"These stone pillars and holes all look identical. Could they be nine different passages?" Yangg Yan interjected.
"Nine passages? The holes are so small, who could fit through?"
Feng Xiao was taken aback.
"Stop guessing. Let’s just go over and see for ourselves!" Seeing everyone making wild guesses, Nie Yun shook his head and took a few steps forward. The mont he moved, the grand hall began to RUMBLE once more. A massive stone platform slowly rose from the floor.
On the stone platform was a huge chessboard with black and white pieces scattered across it. The white pieces were surrounded by the black ones; it was an unfinished ga.
"Upon entering the hall, you must have seen the nine holes straight ahead. Those are the nine passages of Luoo Qu Tomb. You can open them by turning the stone pillars! However, only one of these nine passages is safe. The other eight are all rigged with an Annihilation Array! If you choose the wrong one, even an Early-Stage Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse will be killed, with absolutely no chance of escape..."
"An Annihilation Array? Even an Early-Stage Ultimate Venerable can’t escape?"
Hearing the voice suddenly speak again, everyone’s expression changed at the sa ti.
