Chapter 917 Ch 917: Four Old Men

On one side, the battle between Zhao Qing'er and the demonic beast continued, and on the other side, Ye Xiao once again appeared beside sleeping Zhao Qing'er.

Looking at her, he took a deep breath and then entered the Fifth Floor of Nine Story Pagoda before appearing right in front of Zhao Yufei, startling her.

"How did you come out? Without my permission, no one could come out or go inside the Emperor Ring!" Zhao Yufei said with a surprised expression.

And to her question, Ye Xiao replied with a smile: "Having a gate that could teleport you to wherever you want is quite nice. Isn't it?"

Zhao Yufei suddenly remembers about the gate that she used to return to the Lower Realm. She nodded with a smile, but the next instant, a worried expression appeared on her face as she asked: "What about Qing'er? How is she?"

Ye Xiao then told Zhao Yufei everything that Zhao Qing'er told him to tell her. And then asked: "What is this God Emperor's Energy? And... What exactly is going on?"

Zhao Yufei remained silent for a long time. After coming back to her senses, her expression again changed as she muttered: "No wonder, no wonder! I finally understand everything."

Looking at Ye Xiao, she said: "What a relief! Thank you, Ye Xiao, for telling me this. If not for you, I would have fallen into the trap laid by that Ancient God-levelled creature before its death. At that time, I would have died and that creature would have possessed my soul."

"Really, what a relief!" She again said: "I'll tell you everything later. My priority is to save my sister first."

And with that, she disappeared.

Ye Xiao, of course, knew that she has entered the Emperor Ring. He was just startled that Yufei also behaved exactly like Qing'er. None of them told him what exactly is going on with them, and both of them only said that they'll tell him later.

Sisters...huh!

Ye Xiao looked at his surroundings and found that it seemed to be the inner area of the Poison Devil Forest. Since he was already here, after thinking for a while, he decided to go to the deeper area and see what that creature is which is mentioned by both sisters.

.....

Inside the Poison Devil Forest, Ye Xiao walked around as if he was strolling here and there. He doesn't care about the poison at all. Furthermore, he was so strong that he feared no demonic beast.

Because he doesn't need to worry about poison or any other demonic beasts, he easily entered the core area of the Poison Devil Forest.

Two days later, as Ye Xiao was going deeper and deeper, a burst of dense Yin Energy suddenly came from the front.

"This is..." Ye Xiao looked carefully ahead and slowly flew forward. This place was where the poisonous miasma was extremely dense. But Ye Xiao had no fear in his heart.

Not long after, Ye Xiao saw a round black pond that was around a hundred meters wide. The water was like ink and the ice-cold bone-piercing Yin Energy came out from the black pond.

Besides the well of water, there were even some mausoleums that had been meticulously constructed. Right now, they looked eerie and terrifying, giving people goosebumps. The cold wind whistled like the whispers of ghosts and the howls of wolves, enough to make people feel uneasy.

Ye Xiao spread his Divine Sense to look everywhere thoroughly. At this moment, he suddenly noticed something.

"There is something under this Black Water well." Ye Xiao stood beside a completely black large tree by the side of the lake and muttered.

After thinking for a while, he thought in his heart: "There might be good things down there. I should go and take a look!"

Ye Xiao again looked at his surroundings carefully first.

Those mausoleums at this place appeared to be extremely cold. However, at this moment, a few old men in green clothes suddenly appeared here. Their faces were full of wrinkles and their expressions were cold, as if they had just crawled out of a grave.

Ye Xiao glanced at the four old men who suddenly appeared, and his heart shivered for some reason. He did not notice anyone approaching this place. It has to be known that he had already released his Divine Sense and had been observing every single thing in many miles of areas. But for some reason, he was unable to sense these four old men.

Ye Xiao could not help but wonder how these four men were resisting the poisonous miasma.

In order to not let these old guys discover him, Ye Xiao hurriedly concealed his presence. He sensed that these old guys were looking around.

"Not a single trace is left behind. However, even we were touched by the restrictive formation. This is something that not even we are able to accomplish. Who could have been here before?" An old man said coldly at this moment.

Ye Xiao was again startled. It was obviously him, but he didn't sense touching any restrictive formation here. Moreover, he can't see any kind of formation in this place.

"What is the purpose of this person?" Another old man said angrily.

"Let's hurry back and inform the Leader. This person is still in the core area of Poison Devil Forest. We must find him no matter what!"

The four elders suddenly turned into a gust of cold wind and disappeared.

Ye Xiao was really surprised. He could not understand what is going on. There are many turns of events that happened in a very short period of time. And everything started from the moment he came to Three Domain Divine World and saw Zhao Yufei.

Shaking his head, Ye Xiao decided to jump into the black well and explore it. He believed that all secrets will be revealed very quickly. There is no need for him to mull over this matter anymore.

Even though his physique was Nine Sun Eternal Body and Nine Sun Eternal Fire Spirit was in his body, and even so, he has the support of Golden Crow's bloodline, the moment he dived into the black pond, he felt as if he was going to be frozen by the cold water at any moment. He felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he was being pierced by countless ice needles. This caused him to have no choice but to activate the Golden Crow Bloodline and Nine Sun Eternal Body, which made him feel a lot better.

After some time, when Ye Xiao no longer felt cold, he first deactivated the Golden Crow Bloodline before taking back Nine Sun Eternal Body. He looked at his surroundings and saw that the surroundings were completely dark, it was terrifyingly quiet.

What Ye Xiao didn't know was that just as he jumped into the well of black water, the four old men from before appeared again. But when they appeared, Ye Xiao sensed them this time. He stopped and carefully looked at them.

They looked at the rippling black water and their expressions became extremely strange.

"How is that possible? This is the extremely poisonous blood of the Ancient God-levelled Beast God of the previous era. Although the blood of that damn Ancient Poison Beast God doesn't have any scent, as long as anyone touches it, they will instantly vaporize." The startled old man said in shock.

This black well was unexpectedly the poisonous blood of Ancient God-levelled Beast Devil God of the previous era, this made Ye Xiao suddenly feel extremely disgusted.

The old men outside the well were really greatly shocked. This is because there should not be any being that would be able to endure this kind of poison.

At this moment, another old man said, "We will wait for him here!"

"They will wait for me!" Ye Xiao was surprised when he heard them. He kept floating at his place and didn't dive deeper. He wanted to hear more from these four old men.

One of them again said: "We have been guarding this place for an entire era now, but the master's successor has yet to appear. I don't know for how long we have to guard this place."

Another old man nodded his head. Then he suddenly thought of Ye Xiao and said: "What about that person who dived inside the Blood Well of Ancient Poison Beast God? Could it be that he is the successor of our master?"

"Old man Fu, have you lost your mind or what?" The third old man interrupted him and shook his head, saying "You should know that master's successor could only be a woman. No man could become a master's successor. Otherwise, we would have been the best choice."

"Our master was God Emperor of the previous era. She ruled over an entire era. She only fell because of the betrayal of those damn Ancient Gods who joined hands with the Ancient Poison Beast God and ambushed our master. Otherwise, that era would not have ended and our master would have still been the ruler of Heavens!" The fourth old man said with some pride in his voice.
