Chapter 10: Invasion of Darkness

Sweat rolled down the forehead of Senior Brother Qu as he croaked, ”No wonder no one has taken those precious artifacts. Junior Sister Qing, each of them has a mind of their own! They’ll harm anyone that isn’t their master!”

A chill went down Senior Sister Qing’s spine as she continuously nodded her head in understanding.

”These artifacts have always been here!” Qin Mu shouted coldly. ”No one’s taken them, not even the strange beasts, which clearly meant that they’re dangerous! You already knew that, yet you still used your junior brother to test the waters. With a heart as vicious as yours, you’re the real devil here!”

”The devil has come to provoke doubt within us again!” Senior Brother Qu said with a shake of his head, an expression of deep sorrow on his face. ”What do you know about the relationship between me and my junior brother? A little devil will forever be a little devil. You consider my heart similar to your devil heart, so of course you’d think I was as sinister as you. I shall no longer argue with you. When tomorrow comes, I’ll be sending you on your way.”

Qin Mu frowned.

This Senior Brother Qu was indeed treacherous and ruthless. If he could exploit his junior brother’s life, he definitely wouldn’t let Qin Mu leave these ruins alive.

Unfortunately for Qin Mu, this Senior Brother Qu was extremely strong. Qin Mu couldn’t possibly beat him, not to mention the fact that he had the powerful Senior Sister Qing by his side as well.

Suddenly, the earth began to shake, causing the ruins to shake as well. The strange beasts started to howl as they recoiled into the positions they had claimed throughout the area. All of them looked at the gate at the front of the ruins, their expression full of anxiety and fear.

”What are these strange beasts afraid of?”

The moment that question popped into his head, the incredibly dense darkness suddenly surged towards the gate like a flood!

Qin Mu stumbled backward in shock. However, he realized that something like an invisible barrier covered the gate, blocking the darkness. The darkness frantically pounded into the barrier, trying to break through!

The barrier warped and distorted as the darkness kept pounding into it, but it did not shatter. The darkness distorted with the barrier, sometimes shaped like razor-sharp claws, while at other times it resembled wisps of smoke or countless sharp spikes. It was everchanging.

Then, all of a sudden, the relentless pound of the darkness against the barrier stopped. Silence reigned. After some time, the barrier that had been warped and distorted… stretched.

The darkness pushed against the barrier until it formed an indentation shaped like a face. It was extremely huge with its forehead taking up the sky of the valley and its chin pressing against the ground.

All of the strange beasts in the ruins cowered low to the ground. They didn’t dare to move, not even the slightest bit. They also didn’t dare to look directly at the face of darkness.

The face had three pitch black eyeballs. Upon looking at them, Qin Mu’s entire body went cold as if his soul were about to be sucked away by the darkness!

Words abruptly streamed from the face of darkness.

”Qi ke duo, sa mo ye, bo re bo re sa mo ye, qi ke duo bo re sa mo ye…” it said in an unknown language in its deep, vibrating voice.

The voice vibrated because it sounded as if multiple voices had been mixed together to form it. A bizarre force emanated from the voice, causing the earth in the ruins to constantly shake. The cracks and other signs of decay on the palaces and pillars scattered throughout the valley grew larger and larger, forcing many of them to collapse from the shaking.

When debris started to fall from the gate from the trembling, it was obvious it was not going to withstand any longer.

However, at that very moment, a bright light shone from the plaza. The luminescent pearl that floated above in the skeleton leader’s hand began to emit an increasingly bright light.

Noticing the light shining from behind him, Qin Mu immediately turned around only to see the pearl rise into the sky. The light that shone from it was a variety of different, intense colors.

The intense, multi-colored light shone down on the hundreds of skeletons. Every single skeleton that the light washed over suddenly came to life.

Qin Mu gaped at the sight.

To him, the skeletons bathed in light no longer looked like skeletons.
