When he walked into the underground palace, Hong Ling still turned to look at the black ball of light that was bound by chains in the hall. On the chains, countless fiery red scars were constantly flickering. From time to time, they would emit a scorching heat that would scorch the ball of light until it trembled. Hong Ling could not understand how this thing could end up here, and from the looks of it, it seemed to be even stronger than before. This black fog was the evil spirit that the ghost had spat out back in the Ancient Tomb of Everlast's secret plane. But, after the Ghost Soul was killed by Hong Ling and the rest, didn't this mean that the evil ghost should have already died?
Inside the enormous underground palace, the stairs seemed endless. A dim yellow torch was inserted on both sides of the stairs. It was burning continuously, but not a single wisp of smoke appeared. It also emitted a faint fragrance. Hong Ling scratched his nose, looking at the torches curiously.
”Master Hong Ling, you seem to be very interested in the torches my Witch Clan can make with human fish paste?” Mo You turned around and said to Hong Ling with a smile.
Hong Ling rubbed his nose in embarrassment. He was indeed very curious about the torches, the rest of the torches were made from bronze, from top to bottom. When the youth heard Mo You say that the burning object on his head was human fish paste, he was greatly shocked. It was rumored that in the ancient times, the Human Emperor had ordered his subordinates to take a big ship out to sea. On the way, they were met with the obstruction of the Siren and Mermaid, who ultimately returned with treasures like the Deep Sea Night Pearl and Mermaid Ointment. It was said that if the mermaid paste was used as oil to burn lights, it could last for tens of thousands of years. He never thought that there would be so many torches made of mermaid paste in the depths of the Witch Clan.
They didn't follow the stairs to enter the underground palace. Mo You would occasionally knock on the stone wall and a new passage would immediately appear. After repeating this for dozens of times, the four of them finally arrived in front of a magnificent underground palace. Rather than calling it a palace, it would be more accurate to call it an enormous altar. Hong Ling looked over and realized that the dome above the altar was not a thick layer of rock. Instead, it was an ethereal starry sky, with countless stars twinkling and extinguishing.
A circular fiery red copper mirror was quietly floating above the altar, filled with cracks. Mo You and Mo Yue walked to the front of the copper mirror and knelt down with one knee facing it.
”Lord Sorcerer, I have already been ordered to bring the Holy Son and Sir Hong Ling here. There was a trace of fear in Mo You's voice, or rather, a chill.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Blood slowly flowed out from the innumerable cracks on the copper mirror. As they landed on the altar, they slowly turned into a human figure. When the figure completely formed, Hong Ling was stunned.
”Lu You!” How could it be you! ” Hong Ling stared fixedly at the person in front of him, it was one of the four Qi Refinement into Spirit cultivators who had opened the Ancient Desolate Heavenly Secret Realm, Lu You. However, the current Lu You looked even younger. He only looked like a teenager, but his face couldn't be mistaken. It was as if he had returned to his prime. His aura was unfathomable, even above that of Mo You.
”Long time no see, Brother Hong Ling!” Lu You smiled, ”Are you surprised to see that I'm still alive?”
”You're actually a Divine Magus from the Witch Clan!” Hong Ling stared at him, ”According to what I know, you have not stepped out of the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Tomb after it closed.
”It's very simple. Because I'm the supreme Sorcerer God of Witch Clan, I have the power to transcend the heavens and earth. As for that insignificant Ancient Tomb of Eternity, how can it trap me?” Lu You smiled slightly, ”Brother Hong Ling, you should be very curious, what is the reason I brought you here!”
”So what? Can it be that you will tell me?” Hong Ling looked at him, a bad feeling suddenly appearing in his heart for some reason. Ever since he had broken through the tenth level of World Barrier and swallowed fated star above the thirty-three heavens, his sixth sense had always been very accurate. In the dark, he seemed to be able to grasp the direction of the future. However, when he looked at Lu You now, he felt a strong sense of crisis.
”So what if I tell you?” Lu You smiled, ”Brother Hong, do you know where this bronze mirror behind me comes from? As for me, my true identity, who am I? ”
”There's no need to keep me in the dark. If you don't want to say it, then forget it!” Hong Ling said coldly.
”Hehe, Brother Hong is actually angry. However, I can tell you that this bronze mirror has a very ancient name. In ancient times, people called it Yan Huang! ”Now, why don't you guys guess who my identity is?!” Lu You's face was full of smiles, but Hong Ling could feel that he was extremely impatient, as though an extremely strong desire was growing in his body.
