Chapter 897 Betrayed
The only way one could discover this mist is if they were to already know about this location beforehand or that an Early Stage Heavenly Venerate with a profound divine sense intensely studied this tree for days.
Cain already knew what to do from Yan Kui’s instructions. With his and the girls’ bodies engulfed in Chaos Energy, they were able to phase their hands straight into the divine mist and touch the Dao runes.
Space essence energy instantly flowed out of the Dao rune upon first contact. The sensation of space completely warped around the trio as they allowed themselves to be engulfed.
Under the noses of thousands of other cultivators, the trio was silently sucked straight into this Dao portal disguised as an average tree!
…
The trio were instantly teleported through a long distance, through numerous distances within the void space.
When they opened their eyes, the first thing that greeted them was a considerably large, yet rustic ancient temple that appeared to have been abandoned for at least thousands of years.
The temple was broken at numerous spots, the scars showcasing that various great battles with high realm cultivators had occurred.
An almost melancholic aura oozed out of this ancient temple. The lingering regrets of past cultivators were seemingly present to this very day.
Cain, Kali, and Luo Na were a bit intrigued by the history. They assumed that the Soul God World had a longer one compared to their Divine Boundless Heaven when considering their superior strength.
But now wasn’t the time to ponder such matters.
It was at this time that a majestic maiden quickly appeared next to the trio. Naturally, nobody reacted as the maiden was the ever-majestic Yan Kui.
Yan Kui briefly looked at the trio for a moment, noting how they were really not that different at all even in this situation.
As she walked to the ancient temple, Yan Kui had to ask, “Is everything…alright? This situation is, putting it lightly, very extreme.”
Kali shrugged in response, causally saying, “Getting chased would’ve inevitably happened for us. We have no connections to anyone here nor do we want to get control by the people at the top. So, this is just another hurdle for us. Don’t worry about us. Next time you’ll see us, the entire Soul God World will be trembling.”
“I see…” Yan Kui readily nodded. She could genuinely believe Kali’s words when considering the trio’s current accomplishment. She had more faith in them than the current invincible geniuses dominating the Soul Core Region.
At that moment, Yan Kui flicked a drop of her blood toward the ancient temple’s front doors.
The blood did not hit the doors, instead splattering against an invisible force in midair.
A radiant flash glistened across the area from where the blood splattered. Dao runes briefly flashed before vanishing beneath the special properties of Yan Kui’s bloodline.
The invisible barrier that was protecting the ancient temple had temporarily vanished.
It would not matter even if a Perfection Stage Heavenly Venerate were to come here. Without the Yan Family bloodline, it was impossible to get past this invisible barrier.
The trio swiftly stepped inside, coming to a massively expansive interior that clearly showed great age.
Destroyed parts of everything were scattered all around. The source of the Great Dao was incredibly thin within here. Barely any Dao lights were on the runes carved around. And a prominent stench of rotting flesh oozed out of numerous corners of the temple.
lightsΝοvel.cοm Yan Kui ignored everything else and focused her attention on a single hallway leading down to an open entrance room with some rubble at the foot of the door.
She began to lead the trio down without another word. They took several steps, believing nothing would go wrong.
But right at that moment, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na froze up. Their souls began to rapidly pulsate. A feeling of danger arises within their minds. They instantly snapped their gazes behind them.
Before Yan Kui could even see what the trio was doing, she too froze in her tracks. She simply sensed an overwhelming Dao aura expand across the entire realm!
The Dao aura was superior to everything else. It existed in a higher tier of power that only the force of the universe could match.
This was the power of a legendary Heavenly Venerate existence!
“Junior Kui?” A booming voice trembled the entire realm. “I had sensed life essence coming into one of the forbidden grounds. Just what are you doing here?”
Everyone in the group furrowed their brows. Questions ran through their minds.
Just what mistake had they made?
Cain, Kali, and Luo Na were more than sure nobody had followed them. Chaotic Concealment took care of anyone being able to sense them.
The trio also knew that Yan Kui was using some kind of special artifact to distinctly conceal her life aura. Truthfully, in their base state, neither Kali nor Luo Na could detect when Yan Kui had approached close to them.
Only Cain was able to sense her through the use of his Chaos Soul Sense.
Since she was taking so many precautions, possibly using an item that only the Supreme Elders can use and this area is a forbidden ground only the Supreme Elders and Ancestors can enter, why would she wait until now when she can now be punished to turn them in?
Cain, Kali, and Luo Na were logical enough to tell that Yan Kui did not sell them out. She was genuinely surprised at this Heavenly Venerates appearance as much as they were.
The uncontrolled state of her aura told so.
That only begs the question of just how the hell did this Heavenly Venerate know to come here at this exact time.
Unfortunately, there was no time to answer questions.
Yan Kui’s expression began to darken to the pits of the abyss as she thought about everything.
She mentally transmitted to the trio, ‘That man out there is named Elder Shen. Someone who holds a grudge against my parents and me. Among the Supreme Elders, while his cultivation stayed in the Early Stage, he is one of, if not the best when it comes to concealment skills. Even the Perfection Stage ancestors can’t sense him if he tries to hide. And it appears that I have been betrayed by someone close…’
‘Damn.’ Cain and Kali cursed. Luo Na’s face lost all emotions as she gathered all of her focus. They had more questions to ask.
But Elder Shen wouldn’t give them the time. His voice boomed again when he was met with silence. “Do not think you can stay silent! Entering the forbidden ground is a serious issue that the Ancestors will take notice of! Hmph, if you won’t come out on your own, then I will just take you out.”
His Venerate Dao aura continually freezes everything in its path. Space froze, time seemed to slow down, and Yan Kui could not move a single inch of her body.
The void space suddenly twisted open. Walking out of space was a divine man exuding a world-crushing momentum.
Every step he took caused the fabric of space to tremble. Any action of his would stir the natural laws of the world. The smiling expression on his divine face told that everything was under his control.
Elder Shen, an Early Stage Heavenly Venerate, confidently strolled towards Cain’s group.
The appearance of the trio did not cause any surprise in Elder Shen. He casually chuckled, saying, “So, these are your new friends you’re trying to hide away? These three have caused a great amount of drama Junior Kui. It’s not too late to admit your mistake and lessen your punishment by turning these three in.”
Yan Kui wanted to respond. But she did not get the chance.
Cain flicked his hand out at light speed, spewing out a small black orb that combusted into a faint wave of essence energy. The orb’s essence energy instantly engulfed the entire interior of the ancient tremble.
“Oh? A Venerate Orb? Well, you were able to somehow move against the suppression of a Venerate. But, now that you sealed yourself off, do you think any Venerate item can match the power of a true Heavenly Venerate?” Elder Shen faintly smiled.
Why would he, a senior Heavenly Venerate living for millions of years, ever be scared of juniors who only managed to escape out of a Heavenly Venerate grasp?
Granted, the trio did move out of the way of a Perfection Heavenly Venerate grasp. But they also needed to use a Venerate talisman to actually escape from the Ancestors.
Elder Shen refused to believe that in direct combat, he could even get touched by the trio.
Faint glittering sparks of Venerate Dao flames howled over Elder Shen’s palm. The floor beneath him began to instantly melt, space continually melted over, and rippling principles of Venerate Dao Laws suppressed everything.
“Come here.” Elder Shen calmly called out, his flaming palm unleashing a fiery Venerate Dao palm at Cain’s group.
The fiery Venerate Dao palm exuded a nightmarish amount of power. Even bigger stars within space would be melted to ash in less than two seconds!
The fiery Venerate Dao palm should have no equal. The direct force of a Heavenly Venerate shouldn’t be matched by anyone else below it.
However, right in that critical moment, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na’s eyes gleamed with divine lights brighter than the Heavens themselves!
