Chapter 781 Union
Chen Yile suddenly thought: "Could it be that these runes have existed from the beginning? In other words, the Demon Winged Dragon King has never been truly tamed?"
When Li Xixi heard this, she was filled with shock and fear: "Impossible! The Winged Demon Dragon King has been my mount since I was a child. Its loyalty is unquestionable!"
Yan Zhen shook his head: "Loyalty or not is not important. The key is who controls it with greater power. The caster is obviously very proficient in the use of runes."
Chen Yile and Yan Zhen looked at each other, both knowing that things were far more complicated than they had imagined.
Although Li Xixi is trying to stop them, in this situation, temporarily joining forces may be the only option.
"In that case, why don't we temporarily unite and investigate this matter together first." Chen Yile suggested.
Li Xixi hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay. But..." She glanced at Yan Zhen, "You'd better be careful. I'm not sure who is behind all this, but my intuition tells me that this matter is very complicated."
Yan Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are few people in the entire underworld who can stand against you. After all, your father is the King Chujiang of the Second Hall of Hell."
The three decided to temporarily put aside their grudges and work together to investigate the cause of the Pterosaur King's sudden rise. They followed the traces left by the Pterosaur and came to an ancient altar deep in the Dead City.
A dark mist floated above the altar, through which the figures of countless wronged souls could be vaguely seen. As the three approached, they discovered an ancient jade pendant in the center of the altar, engraved with the symbols of the Ten Kings of Hell.
Li Xixi suddenly exclaimed, "This is the magical weapon used by the Ten Kings of Hell to suppress the wronged souls in Wrongful Death City! How did it appear here?"
At this moment, the altar suddenly shook violently. A powerful yin energy surged from the jade pendant, enveloping the three people.
Chen Yile felt that the gold and silver marks on his palm suddenly burst out with a powerful energy, as if resonating with the jade pendant.
"Why does it resonate with my mark? Could this jade pendant be related to the Yin-Yang Nexus?"
A hint of shock flashed across Li Xixi's eyes. "This jade pendant is actually related to the Yin-Yang Hub! It seems someone is plotting against the Yin-Yang Hub. I wonder what their purpose is!"
Yan Zhen drew his sword and stood up: "No matter who is behind this, we can't let him succeed!"
The three of them worked together to mobilize their spiritual power and drive away the negative energy on the jade pendant.
The fog on the altar gradually dissipated, revealing a secret room underneath the altar.
There are countless ancient magical instruments and classics placed in the secret room, and one of the notebooks clearly says "The method of controlling the Yin and Yang hub".
The three of them opened the ancient book and found that it contained a terrible plan.
Some people want to destroy the yin and yang hub, causing an imbalance in the yin and yang of the underworld, in order to absorb the huge amount of scattered yin energy and achieve some ulterior motives.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the secret room. The three of them quickly hid behind the altar, only to see a man in a black robe walk in.
"It seems my plan has been discovered." The man's voice was filled with pride as he waved his staff. "But it doesn't matter. As long as we can successfully destroy the Yin-Yang Hub, nothing else matters!"
"How long are you going to hide?"
Chen Yile, Yan Zhen and Li Xixi looked at each other, knowing that they had been discovered, and stood up.
Yan Zhen shouted: "Who are you, and what do you want to do?"
The black-robed man sneered, "It's okay to tell you, I want to destroy the Yin-Yang Hub and absorb the Yin energy of the entire underworld, making myself the most powerful being in the Three Realms! Whoever stops me will die!"
The black-robed man suddenly launched an attack, and the magic weapons on the altar flew towards the three people.
Chen Yile and Yan Zhen were forced to join forces to fight, while Li Xixi was responsible for guarding the core magic weapon in the center of the altar.
The battle was extremely fierce. The black-robed man's strength was far beyond imagination. He almost razed the entire altar to the ground. The three men had to use all their strength to barely resist.
Just when the battle was at a stalemate, Chen Yile suddenly remembered the power of the mark on his palm, which was a magical existence that could resonate with the Yin-Yang hub.
Chen Yile took a step back, taking the time to try to feel the powerful force hidden behind the mark.
Suddenly, a powerful energy wave burst out from the mark on his palm, instantly dissolving the black-robed man's spell.
The three of them seized the opportunity and fought back together, finally forcing the man in black robe to retreat.
"Just you wait!" The black-robed man roared and his figure instantly disappeared into the mist.
After the battle, the three returned to the center of the altar. Li Xixi looked at the mark on Chen Yile's palm, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Your mark seems to have some special connection with the Yin-Yang Hub."
Yan Zhen nodded: "Maybe this will also be useful for repairing the Yin-Yang Hub."
Li Xixi looked at the mark in silence for a moment, then suddenly spoke solemnly, "In that case, I hope you can help me repair the Yin-Yang Hub. After all, this concerns the safety of all living beings in the Three Realms and Six Paths."
Yan Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry. We will do our best."
Li Xixi looked at Chen Yile: "What do you think?"
Chen Yile was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "I can help you, but can you please stop stopping me from resurrecting my lover?"
Li Xixi sneered, "Fool, I didn't let you revive your woman because I was afraid the Yin-Yang Hub would completely fail. If you could repair it, then what would you be afraid of?"
Yan Zhen also nodded and explained on Li Xixi's behalf: "Indeed, maintaining the operation of the Yin-Yang Hub is the top priority of the Ten Kings of Hell. Although resurrecting your lover is against the rules of the underworld, if you perform great deeds, this matter is not unacceptable."
When Li Xixi heard this, she seemed to suddenly think of something.
She looked at Yan Zhen: "I was wondering why you have been protecting him. Could it be that King Yama already knows about him and doesn't oppose him?"
Yan Zhen nodded to indicate his agreement.
Li Xixi looked as if she had suddenly understood something. "No wonder. Among the Ten Kings of Hell, King Yama of the Fifth Hall is the most benevolent and affectionate. I'm sure he was moved by this kid."
The three stood in the center of the altar, looking at the fragments scattered on the ground by the black-robed men in the fight. A special atmosphere filled the air.
Chen Yile lowered his head to look at the debris on the ground, wondering what he was thinking.
"These fragments should have been left by the man in black robes," Li Xixi said softly, her eyes darting back and forth between the fragments. "I can sense his remaining aura. We should catch up with him and stop his plot."
"Then do you know where he went?" Yan Zhen asked Li Xixi.
Li Xixi was speechless for a moment, but soon came up with a solution.
She blew a whistle and summoned a black bird.
She signaled Xuanniao to track the scent of the fragments left by the black-robed man. Xuanniao sniffed it and actually tore open a crack in space, and its figure disappeared without a trace.
A quarter of an hour later, the black bird flew back to where they were. Li Xixi said happily, "We found it! The man in black robe is now in the ghost maze!"
