The Blade-Wielding Legend-Chapter 1212 - 636: Breaking Into the Palace to Rescue the Captive

Are you trying to provoke me?

Li Yan was speechless and shook his head, saying, "Senior, just speak, I'll listen first."

"So young, yet so boring..."

Yin Jiuge lost his enthusiasm, complained a bit, and then began, "The plan is simple."

"This underground palace is divided into the three talents: Heaven, Earth, and Man. 'Heaven' is easily managed, with the Suihou Snake Pearl suppressing it, but the 'Man' position has flaws."

"Inside, what is being suppressed are the vengeful souls of the Six Kingdoms magicians, using the Three Emperors Spiritual Wood and Qin Law disciplines, but in reality, it is for the arrangement of the three talents: Heaven, Earth, and Man."

"However, the Six Kingdoms magicians' souls naturally bear a grudge against Qin, and after absorbing Evil Spirit Qi, they transformed into demons. The longer they are suppressed, the greater the backlash, thus problems have arisen."

"This was probably the loophole left by Xu Fu, and Wang Xuanmo seized the nest, only able to delay using the Six Kingdoms' bloodline."

"Soon, the old man will use a method to break this 'Man' position, which will surely cause some turmoil, allowing us to enter within."

"But inside, where living people can survive, there must be some arrangements. We'll have to adapt accordingly, life and death are unpredictable..."

Li Yan listened and nodded without hesitation, "This method is feasible. I trouble you, senior, for your help."

"No problem!"

Yin Jiuge didn't waste words, taking a handful of burial soil from a pouch at his waist, chanting a mantra and casting a spell over himself.

The vitality within him gradually faded, enveloped in yin energy, as though he was dead.

Seeing this, Li Yan secretly praised him.

No wonder he is an elder of the Netherworld Sect, such spells are unheard of.

Before Li Yan could blink, Yin Jiuge turned around and used the Earth Escape Technique again.

With the whistling of wind and sand, he vanished into the underground in an instant.

Li Yan didn't just wait foolishly, he performed the Meridian Technique once more, flicked his little finger, sending a Grass Spirit Paperman flying out. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Black Emperor's Spirit Book, Tian Peng Treasure Talisman. Command wind and fire, mountains topple, trees wither."

As the Summon Fengdu Brave General Spell was chanted, a yin wind whistled behind Li Yan, and a dark shadow appeared, merging with the Grass Spirit Paperman.

It was still the summoning of eight generals to fortify the inner altar, but this time, Marshal Liu was summoned.

Marshal Liu's divine name is "Fengdu Running Dog Messenger."

Beside the dark shadow, there was a virtual image of a Spirit Dog beneath its feet.

This Netherworld General, responsible for capture and suppression, with his power enhanced, will strengthen escape skills and smell superpower.

After using the Mysterious Water Escape, Li Yan's form and Qi breath completely vanished, no weaker than the secret technique of Yin Jiuge.

Meanwhile, a commotion appeared below.

Old man Yin Jiuge stopped his Earth Escape as he approached the Nether Sea formed by the underground river.

He did not proceed but stood by the riverbank, taking out a Compass from his bosom, adjusting its position towards the Netherworld corridor across the river, biting his middle finger to draw a talisman on the Compass, while keeping a close watch on the other side, constantly chanting the incantation.

Whoosh~

Soon, the surrounding wind howled violently.

In the "Nether Sea," waves surged, and wind and sand rolled on the opposite side.

This is a sign of Earth's Vein Qi movement.

Yin Jiuge, nicknamed "Central Tomb Builder," roams all around, transforming dangerous grounds into auspicious ones.

The techniques related to the Earth Master have reached a superb level.

The disturbance of the Earth Vein, though not large in scale, caused immediate movement in the problematic "Man" position.

Among the Yin Fog, the phantom of those "Qin Officials" stopped again, emitting a mournful howl.

The Three Emperors Spiritual Wood stacked above the Netherworld also buzzed and trembled, dropping dust.

The time is now!

Li Yan leaped from the stone platform without hesitation.

Using the Escape Skill, his form concealed, leaving only a mist of water racing down the slope, reaching the riverbank in an instant.

By this time, the "Netherworld River" was already surging with waves.

The white shadow with black hair hidden inside also revealed its true form, it was the Five-Colored Corpse Spider.

Unlike the Corpse Spiders outside, those in the river were all contained in porcelain.

During the Qin Dynasty, porcelain technology was not yet mature, mainly gray pottery, red pottery, and painted pottery.

The ones in the river were all ceramic coffins, painted with fantastical runes.

Due to thick water scale deposits, they appeared gray-white.

Dense black spider silk spread out from the cracks of the ceramic coffins, looking much like water ghosts.

These Five-Colored Corpse Spiders were originally used for defense, but with the upheaval of Earth's Qi, they now seemed agitated and restless.

The steel-like black spider silk all emerged from the water.

As the ceramic coffins bobbed up and down, the water's surface seemed to ignite with black flames.

This sight is truly terrifying.

Even Yin Jiuge's face turned serious.

He had long been aware of the palace's danger, but it was more severe than he imagined.

Just this Netherworld River itself is a major hassle.

The Five-Colored Corpse Spiders can be dealt with, as they can't stand the light, breaking the ceramic coffin and burning it would kill them.

But if one is killed, it would alarm the entire underground palace.

Trying to infiltrate, is almost impossible.

Or, another plan must be devised...

While he hesitated, he suddenly saw a string of faint ripples appear on the river's surface.

They narrowly brushed past one ceramic coffin after another, without disturbing a single spider.

Such a fine Escape Technique!

Yin Jiuge couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart.

Ordinary Water Escape can only allow passage beneath the water, at most concealing some Qi breath.

However, Li Yan's Water Escape could shuttle through the rising mist without leaving a trace.

No wonder, his apprentice Shen Sanyou holds him in such high esteem.

Thinking of Shen Sanyou, a deep worry rose in Yin Jiuge's eyes.

He sighed slightly, guarded by the river's edge.

Within the Five Directions Yin Sacrifice, he is the oldest, though respected, his Qi blood has declined.

Now, he no longer has the strength or energy to deal with such situations.

All he can do is wait by the side.

If something goes wrong with Li Yan, he would immediately go out for help...

...

On the other side, Li Yan had already pierced through the mist and slipped to the shore.
