Chapter 789: Nine Mystical Stone
Ji Siqing had always been like an ice goddess that no one dared to approach.
She looked cold on the surface, but she was actually kind.
He looked at the jade pendant in his hand and gently clenched it. He felt endless spiritual energy surging into his dantian.
It was almost comparable to a minor dragon vein!
“This is…”
Ye Chen had thought that this was just an ordinary treasure, so the fact that it was so precious took him by surprise.
“My disciple, this stone is called the Nine Mystical Stone. Even in the Kunlun Mountains, it is a priceless treasure. In ancient times, as far as I know, there were only ten of these stones. Unfortunately, your Nine Mystical Stone is incomplete. If it was complete, it might be able to activate several tombstones in the Samsara Graveyard.”
Lin Qingxuan’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Master, do you mean that this Nine Mystical Stone can activate the tombstones of the ancient mighty experts in the Samsara Graveyard?” Ye Chen asked curiously.
Lin Qingxuan nodded.
“That’s right. That woman is quite generous. Usually, such a treasure wouldn’t be easily given to others. Given the incomplete state of this Nine Mystical Stone, it should be able to activate the tombstone of an ancient mighty expert who isn’t too strong.”
Not too strong?
Ye Chen did not pay too much attention to these words. After all, this expert might not be too strong among the ancient mighty experts in the Samsara Graveyard, but within the Kunlun Mountains, this expert was basically invincible!
Without further hesitation, Ye Chen put away Ji Siqing’s gift.
Then, he took out some medicinal herbs and crushed them completely. He went over to the Black Tiger King and applied the crushed herbs on the wounds on its body.
“Little Black, bear with it. This might hurt!”
The Black Tiger King nodded and let out a soft growl.
The moment the crushed herbs came into contact with its skin, the Black Tiger King’s face instantly turned ferocious, and its body began to tremble.
Fortunately, Ye Chen quickly applied the medicinal herbs on Little Black’s wounds.
At the same time, he took out a bottle of pills and fed them to Little Black.
This was originally a pill for cultivators, so ferocious beasts required a larger dosage of the pills in order for them to be effective.
A powerful aura rippled as Little Black silently went over to the mountain wall and smashed its body against it. It was probably using the impact to circulate the medicinal effects around its body.
After doing all this, Ye Chen treated the two sisters, who were mostly fine.
Now, all he needed to do was to wait for his master to completely absorb the medicinal pill and recover his strength.
However, he did not know how long this would take.
Suddenly, a strange phenomenon emerged from the cave, and he sensed the aura of a breakthrough!
At the same time, dark clouds gathered above the cave, and terrifying tribulation lightning descended.
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. He was pleasantly surprised.
As long as his master withstood the tribulation lightning, his strength would recover to its peak. However, this was easier said than done, as the air in the surroundings was filled with a sense of oppression!
Could his master really withstand it?
Ye Chen was a little worried.
Rumble!
Almost 10,000 bolts of lightning pierced through the mountain and headed straight for the cave!
The beasts within a radius of ten miles also fled frantically.
The Black Tiger King was terrified as well. It quickly went over to Ye Chen’s side and stuck close to him.
The Wen sisters also subconsciously approached Ye Chen.
To them, being close to Ye Chen meant safety.
At this moment, Ji Siqing and Ji He, who had arrived at the Land of Slaughter, also noticed the strange phenomenon behind them.
Ji Siqing frowned, “The person breaking through should have at least reached the origin king realm! Could it be Granny Hua?”
“Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. I have to find Ye Shitian first.”
The two of them entered the Land of Slaughter, but soon discovered that there was no one guarding the entrance.
It was like a dead city inside.
Ji Siqing became more and more suspicious.
“I heard that this place is under the control of the Lord of Slaughter, and is supposed to be impregnable. Why does it look abandoned now?”
“Ji He, are you sure Ye Shitian is here?”
Ji He nodded.
“I met a man who just came out of the Land of Slaughter. He said that Ye Shitian returned to the Land of Slaughter and caused chaos there. The Lord of Slaughter was so furious that he locked down the area and ordered a search of the entire place!”
Ji Siqing was a little doubtful, but she still said, “No matter what, let’s find a few more people and ask them. The Land of Slaughter is no ordinary place.”
At this moment, a bearded man carrying a backpack rushed out, brushing past Ji Siqing and Ji He.
“Stop!”
The bearded man was stunned. He stopped in his tracks and immediately realized that a sword was pointed at his back.
At the same time, an invisible spiritual pressure descended upon him.
He quickly said, “I have no enmity with the two of you. There’s no need for this.”
“Where is Ye Shitian?” Ji Siqing asked coldly.
The people in the Land of Slaughter were not good people. Moreover, this man exuded a strong blood aura, so he must have killed many people.
Ji Siqing would not show any mercy to such a person.
When the bearded man heard Ye Shitian’s name, his body trembled. He said, “My dear ladies, how would I know where Ye Shitian is? However, yesterday, the Lord of Slaughter sealed the entire city, yet couldn’t find Ye Shitian. Not long ago, the Lord of Slaughter left in a hurry with everyone. If I’m not wrong, he must have gone after Ye Shitian!”
Ji Siqing narrowed her eyes.
Ji He suddenly thought of something and asked, “According to his story, Ye Shitian should be outside. Sister Siqing, do you think the breakthrough aura just now belonged to Ye Shitian? Is it possible that Ye Shitian has reached the origin king realm?”
Hearing this, Ji Siqing suddenly understood. Given Ye Shitian’s strength, it was possible!
If that was the case, then Ye Shitian might be in danger!
“Let’s hurry up and go! We’re heading in the direction of the lightning tribulation!”
The two figures instantly disappeared.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the cave, Ye Chen’s expression turned serious. His spiritual sense was sending him warnings, so he knew that someone was coming.
If he was right, it should be those guys from the Land of Slaughter.
First, it was the green pillar of light, and then now this new breakthrough phenomenon. There was no way anyone would not be able to find them this time.
He wanted to leave, but unfortunately, it was not an option. His master had yet to finish his breakthrough, and if his master was disturbed, his master would definitely suffer a backlash, which might waste the effects of the pill.
Fortunately, Ji Siqing had already left. Otherwise, this matter might have dragged her down.
Ye Chen thought of something and looked at Wen Shishi and Wen Tingting. He quickly said, “The situation has changed. Leave immediately. Little Black will take you out of here. Try to find your father.”
Wen Shishi saw that Ye Chen wanted to chase them away and naturally figured out what was going on. She shook her head repeatedly.
“Mr. Ye, I’m not leaving! I’m willing to die with Mr. Ye!”
Ye Chen smiled.
“You’re overthinking things. I won’t die so easily. However, your existence will definitely affect the battle, and they will use you both to threaten me.”
