Many people noticed the sudden flash of light. All of them were stunned
”What's that? Are there meteors in this dark s.p.a.ce?”
”No idea. What an odd phenomenon. It can't be some new secret emerging from the castle, right?”
”It felt like someone had appeared. Has the owner of the Castle of Darkness appeared?”
”Let's go take a look at the ancient keep. Maybe this will be an opportunity.”
...
With the appearance of that flash of light, many disciples started heading toward the central keep. But when they approached, a large number of dark bats flew out, forcing them to withdraw. Even Xiao Xie was forced to retreat, cutting a sorry figure doing so.
”Darkstorm, what is that exactly?” Xiao Xie asked his black qilin.
”Feels like a human, but the flash had been too fast, so I hadn't sensed it clearly either,” answered the black qilin.
Looks like this Castle of Darkness is hiding a ma.s.sive secret, thought Xiao Xie.
The inside of the gloomy central keep did not look as imposing as its outside appearance. It was s.p.a.cious and empty, with only a ma.s.sive dark bat specter within. Numerous b.l.o.o.d.y runes trailed the walls of the hall, seemingly sealing something evil within.
At the middle of the hall was a depression on the ground, where the b.l.o.o.d.y runes converged. The numerous dark bats only stayed outside the hall. None dared to enter, as if this was the residence of their ruler. Without the permission of their ruler, they couldn't enter.
Suddenly, a human figure appeared, causing the dark bats to start screeching. The dark bats screeched madly, wanting to charge into the hall yet lacking the courage to do so. The human figure was none other than Xiang Shaoyun. He had activated his chakram in the s.p.a.ce of endless darkness to split s.p.a.ce apart, bringing him to a location unknown to him.
In the hall, he studied his surroundings, and a look of joy covered his face. ”Haha, I have finally escaped that d.a.m.n place!”
Right after he said that, the b.l.o.o.d.y runes in the hall suddenly started flowing and emanating a thick stench of blood. A ma.s.sive sense of crisis struck Xiang Shaoyun, causing his hair to stand on end. Without any hesitation, he charged out of the hall. But as soon as he moved, a dense power bound him, and it even dragged him to the depression at the hall's center.
Whoos.h.!.+
In a flash, Xiang Shaoyun vanished.
The next moment, he found himself cras.h.i.+ng into the ground, and he hissed in pain from the fall. He maintained his clarity and started studying his surroundings. He found that he had arrived within a bas.e.m.e.nt filled with dark bat corpses. Their shriveled appearance made it obvious these bats had been drained to death.
”What d.a.m.nable place is this?” Xiang Shaoyun cursed.
