Chapter 274. Underground Ice Sculpture (2/2)
Even the wood elemental spirit was having a hard time.
The most strange person had to be the young man from the Black Soul Sect. The earth elemental spirit was fighting him and having a really tough time. The young was completely motionless, only his hand would move along with the ink brush.
But with every stroke, the earth elemental spirit would escape with a look of dread in its eyes. Finally, the young man closed his eyes.
If one looked closely, they would see that the young man wasn’t moving. The brush was moving on its own.
At this point, it was only the start of the battle, so most of the Soul Formation cultivators from either side hadn’t moved yet. The Soul Formation cultivators of the Four Sect Alliance were all waiting. If this was all that Xue Yu had, then the chances of the Four Sect Alliance being wiped out were not large.
It could be said that all of the Soul Formation cultivators of the Four Sect Alliance, especially the old late stage Soul Formation monsters, were staring at the woman in the sky, wondering if she was the genius that had caused all of this.
Once they confirm it, they will begin the first step of their plan. However, right now, they couldn’t be sure.
Wang Lin was also waiting. He was watching the battle while hiding inside a mountain of snow. He had already seen countless cultivators die.
However, a very strange phenomenon caught Wang Lin’s attention.
When cultivators from either side died, even if their bodies were blown to pieces, they would immediately freeze and sink into the snow.
If just that was the case, it wouldn’t have caught Wang Lin’s attention, but after taking a closer look, he noticed small fluctuations of spiritual energy as the bodies sank in.
This phenomenon caused Wang Lin to become very unsettled. He didn’t know why, but seeing the bodies turn into ice and disappear into the ground made him to feel a sense of danger.
After pondering for a while, Wang Lin’s body sank down without a sound. He wanted to see what was the mystery behind this.
He couldn’t activate his full power inside the snow, so it took him two hours to reach the ground. Once he got there, he didn’t hesitate at all and went deeper with his earth escape technique.
At about 4000 feet underground, Wang Lin stopped. His face was covered with an unsettled expression and a sliver surprise. He noticed that 5000 feet underground, someone managed to dig out a cave. The cave seemed to be endless in size. Wang Lin guessed that this cave spanned throughout the entire Four Sect Alliance.
Every 1000 feet inside the cave there was an ice sculpture. Each ice sculpture was about ten feet tall and released a strange light. One other notable thing was that all of the ice sculptures were exactly the same. Their faces had ferocious expressions, and they had human hands as well as snake bodies.
Wang Lin roughly checked and found that there was a large amount of ice sculptures and that their positions seemed to hold some meaning.
All of the bodies that disappeared during the battle would appear here, but the moment they appeared, they would be absorbed by a nearby ice sculpture.
Wang Lin pondered a little. He originally didn’t believe that the Four Sect alliance wouldn’t notice this earlier, but he wasn’t able to detect this cave at all either.
It has to be said that Wang Lin’s divine sense was at the level of late stage Soul Formation cultivator’s, so if even he was unable to see through it, then it was very unlikely for anyone in a rank 4 cultivation country to see through it.
Wang Lin took a deep breath. He slowly backed up and returned to the surface. He raised his head to look at the sky, then pondered a little before slapping his bag of holding and taking out a voice transmission jade.
This was what Zhou Wutai had left with him many years ago. He left a few messages in the jade before throwing it and watching it disappear.
At the same time, his expression suddenly changed as he noticed a huge fire in the sky. A giant barbarian had been burnt to ashes by a flame.
Although the giant was dead, the fire didn’t stop; it charged at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and his body backed up. His hand formed a seal and a pillar of water appeared before him to block the flame.
He took this moment and teleported to more than 2000 feet away. His teleportation distance was much further than before.
The water pillar only blocked the fire for a moment before turning into white mist. The flame circled around the area once before flying toward the White Cloud Sect.
Wang Lin was reluctant to make himself known right now, so he didn’t extinguish the flame and merely ran away. Before all of the Soul Formation cultivators from both side moved, Wang Lin wouldn’t act.
