Chapter 131 - 128: The Sealed Demon Lord
Under the night sky, Yin Ghost Mountain was eerily quiet. All that could be heard was the chirping of insects, the calling of birds, and, from deep within the mountain, the occasional violent cries of unknown origin—whether from some Demon Beast or restless spirits was unclear.
On Yin Ghost Mountain, numerous scattered graves contributed to the heavy, oppressive air—that and the fact it was a burial place, augmented by nightfall and the traces of Black Demon Sect remnants. The earlier trepidation of Hua Hong and his two companions was not without reason.
Between the dark trees, green ghostly fires could occasionally be seen drifting through the air, groups of bats flying past with "screech screech" sounds, creating a terrifying atmosphere.
Placed in such a horrific environment, of the three, the two male disciples fared better, whereas Dong Lin, with her once delicate complexion, had turned notably pale, evidently unaccustomed to such a gloomy place.
Ye Xuan led the group, walking at the very front. To maintain concealment, he didn’t use a torch or any other source of illumination. Relying on the moonlight above and his keen sense of hearing, he was able to ensure they stayed on course without the need for light.
Proceeding cautiously, after passing more than two hours, the group finally reached the central peak of Yin Ghost Mountain, shaped like a lamb’s knife.
Upon arriving there, the surrounding yin energy was noticeably thicker than before, as if a layer of black fog drifted in the air, vibrating with a predatory nature, seemingly exerting a subtle suppression on True Qi.
"This place is a bit sinister, be careful and don’t make any noise."
Ye Xuan sensed something was amiss here. Although the whole of Yin Ghost Mountain was shrouded in sinister energy, this place seemed to be the nexus of it all. If there truly was a Black Demon Sect stronghold, it was very likely to be hidden within this lamb-knife-shaped peak.
Having warned Hua Hong and the others, Ye Xuan continued to move forward, curious to see what nefarious deeds these Black Demon Sect remnants were plotting.
