Chapter 216 Negotiating Terms? Are You Qualified?
There was a faint chill in the air, which made people shudder.
Chen Yile clenched his fists, his eyes determined.
"Artificial ghostland? Now that I have encountered it, I will never stand idly by!" He muttered to himself, then continued to walk forward.
After Chen Yile walked for about ten minutes, the exit of the cave came into view, and a faint light shone through the gaps, illuminating the front.
The air was filled with a faint smell of decay. The stone walls on both sides were covered with yellow talismans. The talisman papers trembled slightly in the breeze, as if hiding countless eyes, coldly watching his every step.
He narrowed his eyes, feeling a sense of foreboding. However, what made him even more alert was the figure standing at the entrance of the cave.
Chen Yile's eyes lit up. He was very familiar with that figure. It was the guy who led him to this ghost land. At this moment, the man was leaning against the cave entrance with a smile on his face, as if he had already expected Chen Yile to come here.
"Who are you?" Chen Yile stared at him with cold eyes, and there was a hint of suppressed anger in his words.
The man continued to smile, his demeanor calm, as if he didn't care about Chen Yile's anger at all. He spread his hands lazily and said, "Don't worry about who I am, Chen Yile. I recognize you."
"After all these years, you are the first one who can walk out of my ghost world alive. I admire you very much."
"Appreciation?" Chen Yile snorted coldly, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes, "I don't need your appreciation."
"I wonder how many innocent people you've killed to create this haunted world. Are you still a human being?"
When the man heard this, his expression froze slightly, and then he burst into laughter. The laughter echoed in the narrow cave, sounding particularly strange.
"The strong prey on the weak, that's just how the world is!" His eyes darkened, and his tone became cold. "The opportunity is right in front of you, Chen Yile, don't be ungrateful."
“Join us and you will have a bigger stage.”
Chen Yile looked at him coldly, without any hesitation: "You guys? You're not alone?"
The man raised a wicked smile and nodded slowly, his tone full of pride: "Of course not, we are the 'Shadow Society', an organization that truly controls power."
"Here, you will know what true strength is!"
"The Shadow Society?" Chen Yile repeated thoughtfully, then sneered, his eyes full of disdain. "A combination of monsters and demons, huh? Too bad, I'm not interested."
When the man heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He sighed, as if he had anticipated Chen Yile's answer: "Since you have a different opinion, don't blame me for being rude."
Before he finished speaking, the man suddenly teleported in front of Chen Yile like a ghost, raised his hand, and a strong black wind rushed straight towards Chen Yile's face.
Chen Yile was prepared and retreated, barely avoiding the black wind, but the cave was small and his movements were slightly restricted.
The black wind swept past and hit the stone wall. With a "hiss", the talisman instantly turned into ashes.
"Your strength is stronger than I thought." Chen Yile stopped and stared at the man vigilantly. The spiritual energy in his hands had already gathered, ready to deal with the next wave of attacks.
"Hmph, you haven't seen how powerful I truly am." The man sneered and flicked his finger lightly. The air around him suddenly became extremely cold.
The originally dim light in the cave began to dim rapidly, as if the entire space was swallowed by some ominous force.
Then, the man recited a very strange spell.
His voice had a strange rhythm, like some kind of formation, and the atmosphere in the cave instantly became dull.
After the talisman burned out, an eerie chill began to surge around the cave, as if something was awakening in the darkness.
"Chen Yile, enjoy my 'Dance of the Evil Ghost'!" The man swung his hands suddenly, and as his movements ended, shrill screams were faintly heard from the surrounding darkness.
Several twisted shadows slowly emerged from the cave wall and gradually condensed into hideous ghosts.
These evil spirits had empty eyes, twisted bodies, and roars like the roars of hell. They rushed towards Chen Yile with endless resentment and murderous intent.
"Summoning evil spirits? Let's see what tricks you can come up with!" Chen Yile shouted softly, and the spiritual energy in his body suddenly burst out, instantly turning into a golden light that protected his whole body.
The evil ghost pounced, and its sharp claws fiercely grabbed Chen Yile's body, making a shrill scream.
However, when the claws of these ghosts touched the golden light, it was as if they had touched a scorching flame. They immediately let out screams and their figures suddenly disappeared.
Chen Yile snorted coldly: "How dare these low-level things act so presumptuously in front of me?"
The man's expression changed slightly, and he stared at Chen Yile coldly: "Indestructible body? You really have some skills."
"It seems that you won't give in unless you get serious."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly clenched his hands, and the scattered evil spirits were instantly gathered together again by an invisible force, transforming into a huge ghost.
This ghost was tall, with blood-red eyes, and exuded a suffocating murderous aura.
It opened its bloody mouth and roared, and it seemed that half of the air in the cave was sucked away by it.
"Hmph, you want to scare me with this little trick?" Chen Yile smiled coldly, raised his hand and cast a talisman, which instantly flew towards the ghost.
The talisman turned into a golden light in mid-air, piercing through the darkness and heading straight for the ghost's eyebrows.
The ghost let out a shrill scream, its body was pierced by golden light, and its huge body quickly collapsed.
"Nothing more than that." Chen Yile's eyes were cold, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
However, there was no trace of panic on the man's face. Instead, he had a sinister smile on his face: "Do you think this is the end?"
"It seems you know nothing about the power of the 'Shadow Society'."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the cave, which had gradually returned to normal, suddenly became sticky again, as if countless invisible hands stretched out from all directions, tightly suppressing Chen Yile's actions.
"What... is going on?" Chen Yile frowned, clearly feeling that the circulation of spiritual energy in his body was beginning to slow down.
Although his indestructible body still worked, the oppressive feeling made him feel an unprecedented threat.
The man sneered, "The true power of our Shadow Society lies in controlling our shadows."
"Just now were just some insignificant warm-ups. Now, the real battle begins."
As he finished speaking, the ground of the cave began to slowly crack, and countless black shadows emerged from the cracks like living things, quickly wrapping around Chen Yile's limbs.
"Damn it..." Chen Yile gritted his teeth and shook his body violently, trying to break free from the restraints of these shadows.
