Golden Pythons roamed the woods around Bronze Mountain in Cloud Province.
Leading them was a huge Golden Python, his scales shimmering golden.
The Golden Python shone and turned into She Zini’s human form.
Hong Yi and Touba Ye did the same.
“How is it on your side?” She asked Zini.
Hong Yi had a long face.
“Every part of the Bronze Mountain’s depths has natural Array Markings everywhere. It poses an extreme danger, sending us off to Heaven knows where. We’ve yet to find the Eternity Coven leader’s trace.”
Touba Ye asked, “She Zini, how is your search going?”
His eyes shone with resolve. “Fruitless, just as yours, but the Golden Python Clan is out in full force, expanding its search. Many died, but the Young Master’s mission must be completed, even at the cost of all the Golden Python’s lives. We can’t let Young Master down!”
A Golden Python scrambled out of the north side of Bronze Mountain.
“Scion, we found it!”
She Zini, Hong Yi, and Touba Ye’s eyes snapped on him.
She Zini rushed to say, “Is it about Eternity Coven leader?”
The thin man of the Golden Python Clan kneeled and spoke in a shaky and respectful tone.
“Scion, we’ve discovered a tomb on the northwest side of Bronze Mountain. Nearby, there were also signs of an Eternity Coven leader. He must be inside!”
She Zini’s eyes shone, questioning, “Have you scouted it?”
The thin man shook his head. “Scion, eight Clansmen entered, three of whom were at Nascent Soul Stage, while I guarded the entrance. Just as they got in, shrieks of horror echoed as they all died. I don’t know what happened inside the tomb as I rushed to report this information to you, Scion!”
“A tomb in Bronze Mountain?” Hong Yi frowned.
Those were three Nascent Soul and five Golden Core Golden Pythons they were talking about here. They had plenty of strength to react to anything that might transpire in Bronze Mountain, but they all died just like that by going inside a tomb.
Touba Ye stepped forward and said, “Where is this tomb? Takes us there now!”
The Golden Python nodded, turning into his Demon form and leading them over.
Passing a dozen old mountains and a couple of festering marshes, they came upon the tomb’s entrance.
It showed clear signs of being dug up recently. A chilling air blew out from within, making their souls shiver. These were signs of extreme danger lurking in the darkness.
Touba Ye stared at the abyssal entrance, unable to make out anything. He was a Golden Core Immortal, but even he was on guard, feeling the raw danger coming from this place.
“The tomb is no light matter, highly treacherous. We’ve found many deep areas on Bronze Mountain in the past few days, but no sign of the Eternity Coven leader. He might be inside the tomb. You guys stay here while I take a look.”
Hong Yi said, “We’re coming as well.”
She Zini echoed her, “Touba Ye, no matter how strong you are, we don’t know what’s in there. The three of us can look after each other!”
Touba Ye paused in thought, then nodded, “Right.”
The trio ordered the Golden Pythons to watch the area as they ventured deep into the darkness.
The darkness meant nothing to them, and, as they walked deeper, a thick scent of blood pervaded the air.
Then, a sudden dark wind blew, killing intent.
Touba Ye winced, “Get back!”
He grabbed Hong Yi and She Zini, and then ran back.
A black glow flared deep inside the tomb, turning into a light that shot through his chest.
Touba Ye pucked blood, falling to the ground with She Zini and Hong Yi.
[How can this be?] Touba Ye was a Nascent Soul, but with an Immortal Body, beyond tough. Not even a Spirit Severing Golden Python could harm him. Yet this black light just punched through him like paper.
*Tap, tap, tap!* The tomb was dead silent, the gentle footsteps echoing stronger in the darkness, pressing hard on the Demons’ chests and mounting the pressure to new heights.
Touba Ye gnashed his teeth, holding his chest, “Curses! What the hell is in this tomb?”
She Zini and Hong Yi were not even at his level, bleeding from nose, mouth, eyes, and ears, on the brink of death.
She Zini weakly said, “Touba Ye, run! It’s up to you to finish Young Master’s task!”
Hong Yi sighed in despair, “She Zini is right. Run! Our hearts are crushed and we are dying. I just wish I could glimpse upon the Young Master one last time.”
“Young Master must know how to save you. I’m not leaving you!”
Touba Ye fought through the agony in his chest, his face twisting under the strain as he grabbed them to run.
The footsteps halted, and a shape took form in their eyes, emerging from the darkness.
The eerie silence, darkness, and solitude made them think this was hell.
Touba Ye winced and stopped, staring hard at the figure as a feeling of impending doom took over.
The figure took a casual step out of the blackness, slowly yet deadly.
The Demons suffocated under its pressure, drawing nearer and closer.
[Is this the end?]
The shape was now close enough to distinguish its features.
The Demons’ eyes went wide-eyed in shock. [This is impossible!]
