Chapter 2316: Chapter 2314: Red Soil, Red Hair

To be an enemy of these three young external domain powerhouses!

Ye Tianchen already had a feeling, nowadays Earth is ruled by these three strong outsiders, and any creature that does not obey their enslavement will face slaughter, and they believe they have such power, having already killed many creatures!

Although some creatures are strong enough and some have deep heritage and have not been enslaved, they dare not easily provoke these three young powers from outside the domain, only able to protect themselves, unable to change Earth’s current situation of widespread devastation!

In fact, Ye Tianchen did not want to waste time here, he wanted to see the former Huaxia Country in the Earth’s secular world, where his relatives and friends are, how are they? But, after arriving at this Kunlun Immortal Mountain, Ye Tianchen had an intuition that these three young foreign powerhouses, upon arriving on Earth, were killing everywhere, and also enslaved many cultivators and creatures to mine some big holes and small eyes, surely in search of something, something perhaps crucial!

Increasingly mysterious, what are these three young foreign powerhouses searching for? And why is there something at the end of this cave that even makes a Mid-stage Martial Saint feel fearful? Why don’t they dare to proceed?

With these questions, Ye Tianchen slowly walked forward, unaware that behind him, nine enslaved cultivators and creatures were discussing how to kill him!

"That’s right, we definitely can’t let this kid leave alive!"

"Best if he comes out with soil containing the mysterious material, after which we kill him and take the soil out, then today’s task counts as complete!"

"I don’t think he has that kind of ability; you all know that the mysterious material in the soil will infect cultivators and creatures with something horrible, driving them mad and violent until death upon touch!"

"Hmph, whether he takes it out or not, he must die. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have to take such risks!"

"Right, as long as he touches that mysterious material, he will be infected with that thing, even if we don’t kill him, the black-robed man will do so after we leave!"

Behind Ye Tianchen, the discussion among the nine enslaved cultivators and creatures naturally went unheard by him, as Ye Tianchen slowly reached the end of this enormous underground cave entrance, observing his surroundings and releasing his powerful Divine Thought, highly alert, yet discovering nothing, as both sides of this underground cave entrance are paved with blue stone slabs sealing the cave walls, probably done by the enslaved cultivators and creatures!

Ye Tianchen stood at the end of the underground cave entrance, staring into a spacious cave of thirty or forty square meters in front of him, suddenly frozen wide-eyed; upon stepping inside, his whole Divine was shocked, even his Divine Thought was interrupted, a feeling of fuzziness overcame him, a dizziness uncommon among cultivators!

"Such a strong perception, an ominous feeling, could this be the mysterious material that everyone fears?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ponder.

After some thought, Ye Tianchen decided to proceed inside. Looking around, he found the surrounding cave walls were heaped with earth with nothing extraordinary, but there were several skeletons on the ground, from their shapes indicating both Human Clan Practitioners and Demon Clan practitioners. Ye Tianchen squatted down to closely observe these skeletons, and was shocked to find strands of red hair piercing through them, seemingly not resulting from the death of these creatures, but rather extruding from the bones before leading to their deaths!

Ye Tianchen instinctively reached out his right hand, wanting to pluck one of the red strands, to find out what it was, thinking it might be connected to the secret here. However, as his hand was about to touch the red hair, a shiver momentarily ran through his whole Divine, a fear spreading slowly from his very bones, surprising Ye Tianchen with how palpable this emotion was—he never expected to feel this way, for it was his first time!

"Could touching this red hair be impossible?" Ye Tianchen felt a sudden twitch in his heart and withdrew his right hand!

Standing up, Ye Tianchen walked toward the dead-end of the cave wall, glancing at the soil above, discovering that these soils were blood-red as if soaked through with blood, eerily unusual. This reminded Ye Tianchen of the statement made by the Demon Clan practitioner to him, just dig a piece of soil from the cave wall and take it out, and that’s all!

Ye Tianchen stood still, using his powerful Divine Thought to probe; when his Divine Thought penetrated the soil within, he was astonished and furrowed his brows, feeling an unprecedented material unknown to be good or bad, without knowing what dreadful consequences might follow its contamination. In short, Ye Tianchen had an ominous premonition, feeling these soils should not be touched!

"If I don’t touch this soil, I won’t know what this thing is; when did I, Ye Tianchen, become so timid!" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but smile and say to himself.

An hour passed!

The nine cowers stationed at the middle segment of this underground cave failed to see Ye Tianchen emerge, leading one of them to say: "It seems we were all mistaken; that kid couldn’t bring out the soil and probably died on the spot!"

"Hmm, that’s likely the case!"

"In that case, we need to choose another, as every day a piece of soil must be taken out, otherwise we will all die!"

"Yes, we initially thought that kid could bring out soil, allowing us to kill him mid-way to avoid personal risk, but he’s a waste with not even an ounce of utilization value!"

Bang!

A muffled noise came from the innermost underground cave entrance, startling the nine enslaved creatures, making them look in the same direction, and they saw to their surprise that Ye Tianchen was stumbling out step by step. His right hand held a piece of soil visibly spread out in his palm, but red hairs had grown from both the palm and back of Ye Tianchen’s right hand; these hairs could be seen with the naked eye, appearing very ferocious, constantly growing, while a look of pain crossed Ye Tianchen’s face, indicating he was almost losing control!

After contemplation, Ye Tianchen decided to dig out a piece of blood-red soil for inspection to see what it was and what dreadful aspects it held. In his view, some things can’t be fully grasped without personal experience, though it may bring life-threatening danger. Nevertheless, Ye Tianchen wasn’t someone afraid of taking risks, and rather had a bit of a fearless personality!

However, when Ye Tianchen’s right hand extracted a piece of blood-red soil from the wall, his whole Divine, including his Soul, trembled with mysterious material constantly invading his body, making him feel close to being controlled; nevertheless, Ye Tianchen persisted, employing the True Qi within to resist, while staggering toward the cave entrance!

The recent muffled noise resulted from Ye Tianchen, overwhelmed by sensation, punching the stone wall with his left hand, while the nine creatures awaiting midway were incredibly astonished upon seeing Ye Tianchen stagger out step by step—they perhaps hadn’t expected Ye Tianchen to truly emerge alive!

"This kid actually came out alive!"

"Look at his right hand; he’s already infected..."

"Yes, that horrific mysterious material has invaded his body; he’s doomed!"

"Red hair is an ominous sign; he’s destined to become a dead man!"

"Shall we act?"

"Of course we shall act; kill him, take the blood-red soil from him, and today’s task will be complete!"

"But to get the blood-red soil from this kid, we’d surely touch it; wouldn’t that mean our deaths too?"

"Haha, wouldn’t you cut off his right arm?"

"Right, sever his right arm, and we can take this thing out without direct contact with the blood-red soil!"

In an instant, these nine enslaved cultivators and creatures, already intent on killing Ye Tianchen regardless of whether he emerged alive before them or not, unanimously decided to obliterate Ye Tianchen in his confused, possibly mentally impaired state, to complete their task of the day and eliminate their resentment toward him!

The red hair on Ye Tianchen’s right arm was growing wildly; in such a scenario, Ye Tianchen glanced ahead and saw the nine enslaved cultivators and creatures exuding murderous intent, evidently planning to kill him. Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but frown and utter: "Don’t provoke me; I’m feeling very uncomfortable, I might unleash a massacre!"
