184: C184 Palaces!

C184 Palaces!

What was shocking was that the entire palace seemed like an entire body, not even a crack could be seen on the walls. It was as if the entire palace was carved from a huge rock.

As Gu Yuan and the skinny man walked over step by step, the doors of the palace suddenly opened. Behind them was incomparable darkness, like the mouth of a monster slowly opening and waiting for its prey to enter.

Within the spacious palace, only a few huge stone pillars stood alone.

In the center of the hall was a stone coffin. It was clearly very ordinary, but it gave off a simple, ancient, and extremely terrifying feeling.

At this moment, Gu Yuan and the skinny man were standing in front of the sarcophagus in a daze.

"How many years has it been?!"

Suddenly, a low and deep voice sounded from the sarcophagus. A seemingly calm voice revealed a trace of uncontrollable excitement.

"Finally, I can leave!"

At the same time that the voice came out again, the stone coffin also began to change.

He saw a trace of blood-red eyes suddenly appear on the originally simple and unadorned gray stone coffin.

Immediately after, in the blink of an eye, that dark red light continued to expand, quickly covering the entire sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus that had turned blood-red exuded a strong sense of bloodlust, brimming with an evil aura.

As if summoned by something, the petite man who was originally standing blankly on the spot suddenly moved, and he walked towards the sarcophagus step by step. At the same time, a dagger appeared in his hand and slashed at his wrist.

Then, the petite man actually placed his wrist, which was bleeding profusely, on top of the sarcophagus.

Weng ~

A violent vibration suddenly sounded. The moment the thin man's wrist touched the sarcophagus, the entire sarcophagus suddenly emitted a rich blood-red color. The entire palace was affected, and was filled with a bloody red light.

The petite man let out a painful growl, but it was as if he was unable to control his body. Although he was constantly trembling, his body did not move at all. Even his expression did not change.

The wrist that was sticking to the sarcophagus began to bleed even faster. The blood was crazily being absorbed by the sarcophagus, and the thin man's body was withering at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

"You lied to me!"

This was the skinny man's final words before his death. His eyes were filled with endless fear and regret as his shriveled body finally collapsed.

Without the thin man's blood, the red light of the sarcophagus seemed to have weakened a bit. However, Gu Yuan's body also moved very quickly.

Step by step, he walked towards the sarcophagus.

At the same time, a Fangtian Halberd appeared in her hand. After turning around, she slashed at her wrist without hesitation.

Just as it was about to land on his wrist, the sharp crescent suddenly stopped.

Gu Yuan's face showed a trace of struggle.

The sarcophagus seemed to have felt something was wrong and sent out another wave of strange fluctuations as if it wanted to suppress Gu Yuan's consciousness.

The next moment, an emerald green Stone Monkey suddenly appeared on Gu Yuan's shoulder, and it pointed at the space between Gu Yuan's eyebrows.

Boom!

There seemed to be an explosive sound in Gu Yuan's Sea of Consciousness. His originally suppressed consciousness was instantly restored, and the black granules controlling Gu Yuan's body were dispersed by a wave of emerald green energy.

Within a few seconds, Gu Yuan's face went from pale to rosy again, and the darkness in his eyes gradually returned to normal.

The sarcophagus seemed to know that it could no longer do anything, so it stopped its efforts.

"Kid, when did you find out?"

The low voice from the sarcophagus carried a trace of curiosity, as if it never expected Gu Yuan to lose control.

Gu Yuan took a deep breath, his hand was covered in cold sweat.

The moment Gu Yuan entered the secret vault, he received a system notification informing him that there was an abnormal energy invasion.

Originally, he thought that it was caused by the people from Netherworld Sect, so Gu Yuan planned to wait and see.

Later on, at the fork in the road, Gu Yuan found out that even the skinny man was hit by it. Only then did he realize that the special energy that had invaded his body was not that simple.

After finding out that the Azure Stone Monkey could easily expel this kind of energy, Gu Yuan was no longer worried. At the same time, in order to get a way to save Gu Rou, Gu Yuan pretended not to know. He just wanted to see what the owner of this secret warehouse had bought.

Even though Gu Yuan had noticed the abnormality ahead of time and was also vigilant enough, he still almost fell for it.

It was too dangerous just now. The feeling of being completely controlled by his body and mind was absolutely terrifying!

"You are the Evil God?" Gu Yuan asked.

According to Netherworld Sect, this secret treasury was left behind by an Evil God from the Primordial Era, yet there wasn't the slightest trace of a treasure in the deepest part of the secret treasury. Instead, there was a sarcophagus here.

The matter was very clear. It was obvious that this secret treasury was just a cover, and the person in the sarcophagus was most likely that so-called Evil God.

Facing Gu Yuan's question, the sarcophagus fell into silence.

Only after a long time did the low and deep voice sound out once more.

"I'm not him, or rather, I'm just a part of him."

Gu Yuan frowned as he did not understand.

At this moment, the low voice sounded once more.

"The Evil God has already died. He died a long, long time ago, I … It is only a remnant of his soul that he left behind. "

"A remnant soul!" That was something Gu Yuan had never thought of, but he was right when he thought about it.

After all, the ancient era was very far from now. No matter how powerful an existence was, they wouldn't be able to survive for so long. It was already amazing to be able to leave behind a remnant soul.

The low voice continued, "Kid, can we make a deal?"

"What kind of deal?" Gu Yuan asked curiously.

The deep voice said, "I can sense that you are a martial artist. The energy within your body is not dark either. It is completely different from the one I absorbed before."

Seeing that Gu Yuan did not deny it, he continued in a low voice: "And yet you appeared here, presumably also for the treasure."

Evil God's guess was very reasonable, but it wasn't entirely correct.

"I need to save someone."

The other party was the remnant soul of an ancient Evil God. Although it was evil, it did not pose any threat to the current Gu Yuan. Through the system's detection, Gu Yuan knew that the other party was currently weak.

Therefore, Gu Yuan didn't have anything to hide. He directly revealed his purpose, while hoping that the other party would have a way out.

Evil God said, "The person you want to save must be very important to you."

A sneer appeared on Gu Yuan's face, and he said, "This cannot become your bargaining chip. You cannot leave this blood coffin right now, and if I'm not wrong, if you don't get the fresh blood to replenish it, you will disappear as well."2

This time, Evil God was silent for a longer time.
