Chapter 386 - 383 Su Ying
Ye Xuan immediately extended his palm, and a wave of scorching heat swept across, enveloping the four of them within a Fire Energy Shield propelled by True Qi.
With the presence of this Fire Energy Shield, the white Resentful Spirits surrounding them dared not approach easily. Whenever a Resentful Spirit attempted a sneak attack, it would be repelled by the shield and emit a piercing shriek.
"The ancient temple has three floors, and each floor imprisons a powerful entity, it’s improbable that there’s no one here."
Gazing at the ancient temple before him, the Venerable Snake Demon also spoke up.
Ye Xuan certainly had no doubts about this statement; however, after searching through the entire temple, he did not spot any human figures, which caused him to furrow his brows. Then, he lay down on the ground, pressing his ear against it and listened intently for a while. Only then did a change appear in Ye Xuan’s eyes. His palm suddenly reached downward, breaking through the ground and embedding deeply.
Splash!
With one swipe of his palm, the ground bore a claw mark, and amidst the scattering rocks, Ye Xuan lifted his palm, now holding a chain as thick as a python snake.
Ye Xuan pulled the chain from underground, causing a straight line of ground to crack open. As he tugged on the chain, the ground began to tremble slightly; from three other directions, chains also broke through and rose from beneath.
Ye Xuan didn’t focus on those four chains. His gaze was fixed entirely on the center of the four chains where a black stone chair appeared. Sitting on the stone chair was a gaunt figure.
This gaunt figure was bound by the four chains at both wrists and ankles, and dozens of steel nails were hammered into his body, pinning him to the chair. These were not ordinary nails, but bone-locking nails capable of containing the body’s power and restricting movement.
Ye Xuan’s gaze sharpened as he examined the figure on the stone chair more closely to discover that it had already lost all signs of life, and its skin was dried up, showing that it had perished long ago.
