Chapter 794 Insider
"Be careful," he warned in a low voice, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings.
Xiao Guangjun is a cunning person, like a beast lurking in the dark, who may jump out and pounce on them at any time.
Li Xixi followed closely behind, her face showing an unconcealable mixture of nervousness and determination.
"We cannot retreat. Finding the core of the magic circle and destroying it is our only hope."
There was a hint of uneasiness in her words, yet they were as firm as iron, as if to inject them with strength.
Yan Zhen followed silently, thinking to himself.
He understood that facing Xiao Guangjun, their conspiracy to defeat him was like walking on the edge of a knife, full of unknowns and dangers, but he also knew that they could not retreat.
Finally, they arrived at the center of the magic circle.
There was a strange atmosphere in the air, as if an invisible hand was tightly strangling their throats.
Chen Yile's eyes were fixed on a painting on the wall. That was the core of the magic circle. Only by destroying it could he win.
The three of them took a closer look and found a huge scroll hanging on the wall.
The scroll depicts an ancient palace, surrounded by complex runes.
"This is the core of the magic circle." Li Xixi explained, "As long as this painting is destroyed, the entire magic circle will lose its effectiveness."
Chen Yile nodded: "It seems we have found the right place."
At this moment, Xiao Guangjun's voice suddenly came from behind: "You are here as expected."
The three of them turned around quickly and found Xiao Guangjun standing at the door. He had a sneer on his face and a sinister look in his eyes.
"It seems my plan still has some loopholes." Xiao Guangjun said, "But it doesn't matter, I have prepared everything."
Before he finished speaking, the surrounding walls made a low roaring sound, as if they were torn apart by an invisible force, and suddenly cracked into countless cracks.
As the crack widened, an eerie atmosphere quickly filled the air. The pungent fishy smell mixed with the chilly wind was creepy.
Countless evil spirits poured out from the cracks, their faces distorted, and they let out low and ferocious roars, like insatiable beasts that wanted to devour everything.
"Do it!"
Chen Yile's voice was loud and firm. He waved the sword in his hand, and the sword light drew dazzling arcs in the dim room.
The sword shadow was like lightning, cutting through the night sky and piercing through the ghostly shadows.
Wherever the sword went, the ghosts let out shrill screams, as if they felt the threat of death.
At the same time, Yan Zhen was chanting spells quickly. His voice was like an ancient piece of music, containing invisible power.
The air around them began to vibrate, as if in response to his words, and the ghosts grew more frantic at his spell.
Li Xixi no longer hesitated and quickly walked to the scroll. Her hand gently touched the shimmering runes, secretly infusing them with spiritual power.
In an instant, the runes emitted a dazzling light, and the entire room was enveloped by a powerful force, as if placing them in a world of light and shadow.
Xiao Guangjun's face instantly darkened, with fear and anger intertwined in his eyes.
"How dare you destroy the magic circle!"
At this moment, the scroll suddenly made a loud noise, as if it was under tremendous pressure, and then broke.
The entire room was suddenly flooded with dazzling light, and the powerful force surged like a tide.
Xiao Guangjun's magic circle lost its effectiveness instantly, and the evil spirits around him gradually dissipated in the light, like expelled ghosts, making unwilling wails.
At this moment, the whole room was suddenly enveloped by a powerful force.
The air seemed to become extremely heavy, and the sense of oppression surged like a tide, making the three of them hold their breath.
The runes on the wall flickered with a faint light, as if trembling in fear of the impending crisis.
"Do you think this is the end?"
A cold voice came from the air, the voice was as biting as the cold wind, making people feel endless fear in an instant.
The three of them couldn't help but look up, only to see Ling Xuzi floating in the air, his figure like a shadow, and the air around him distorted by his presence.
His cold and ruthless eyes were like an abyss, chilling.
Ling Xuzi exuded a powerful aura, like the oppression before a storm, causing every cell in the bodies of several people to tremble.
Before he finished speaking, Ling Xuzi suddenly attacked, his movements were swift and decisive, as if carrying the power to tear apart space.
The powerful aura hit them instantly, and before the three of them could react, they were hit by an irresistible force.
It was as if he was hit by a car out of control, and his body was instantly thrown to the ground.
"His strength has increased greatly. We can't resist him. Run away!"
Chen Yile shouted, his voice full of anxiety and determination.
At this moment, they did not hesitate at all. They had only one thought in their minds, which was to escape from this horrible place.
The three of them quickly fled the house, their hearts filled with despair and unwillingness.
Ling Xuzi did not chase them, but just stared at their backs coldly, with a sinister and complacent look in his eyes.
After the three escaped from Xiao Guangjun's house, although they temporarily got rid of the pursuers, they knew that this was only a brief respite.
Ling Xuzi's powerful strength made the three realize that their strength alone was not enough to fight against this enemy.
So, the three decided to temporarily return to King Yama and seek help from the Ten Kings of Yama.
After the old Yama Palace was destroyed, the Ten Yama Kings set up another rarely used palace as the new Yama Palace for residence and office.
After the three of them returned to the King of Hell's Palace, they went directly to King Chujiang's study.
Li Xixi's father, King Chujiang, was sitting at his desk reviewing official documents. He looked up when he heard his daughter's voice.
"Father, things are not going smoothly." Li Xixi said, "We have destroyed Xiao Guangjun's magic circle, but Ling Xuzi's strength is far beyond our imagination."
King Chu Jiang nodded: "That's normal. You are not Ling Xuzi's opponent yet."
Chen Yile added, "But we found an important clue. The stolen magic weapon that appeared in the ghost market seems to be related to the Yama Palace."
"Yes." Li Xixi nodded, "We suspect there might be a traitor in the Yama Palace."
After a moment of contemplation, Prince Chujiang said, "We've actually had suspicions for a long time, and this matter truly needs to be thoroughly investigated. If there truly is a traitor within Yama Palace, then Ling Xuzi's threat to us becomes even more serious."
King Chujiang immediately summoned the other nine Yama Kings to discuss the matter together.
The candlelight in the hall flickered, reflecting the solemn expressions of each Yama Lord. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if even space was holding its breath for the discussion that was about to unfold.
The voices of the three people reporting were particularly clear in this huge hall.
"We found some stolen magical weapons in the ghost market." As soon as Li Xixi finished speaking, the eyes of the Yama Kings instantly focused on her.
