Capítulo 784: Chapter 366 Brother, I’m Coming In_2

“Uh, things are pretty much the same on my side. At some point, they seemed to have fallen into some kind of bizarre dream during their sleep, unable to escape. They just slept until organ failure. The few survivors left moved away from there.”

“Isn’t it ironic that the Immortal Palace is plagued by so many vicious curses?”

“Why haven’t we encountered such situations? We might not have noticed stillbirths and monsters, since we can’t possibly have pregnant women adventure into the Immortal Palace. But we didn’t find any cases of dead souls and unawakenable sleep.”

“Who knows? Perhaps this is the price for staying too long in the Immortal Palace? We’ve only been inside for about ten days, perhaps the curses only appear over time.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yelai turned to Jing Lin and asked, “Jing Lin, didn’t you say that the Jing Family members have seen survivors? Got any leads?”

“No, what I have is second-hand information as well. I only know that those survivors bear great hostility toward the Jing Family. There was no communication,” Jing Lin shook his head.

“Being hostile toward the Jing Family is understandable, after all, had you not been so comprehensive back then, they wouldn’t have been trapped in the Immortal Palace for so many years.”

“Let’s cross this bridge first, then explore the issues with the Immortal Palace.”

…

As darkness gradually fell, the vanguard successfully reached the destination.

It was a quiet valley, where a splendid pagoda stood shimmering in gold.

However, at that moment, a fierce battle erupted in the valley, the air thick with the stench of blood and intense fluctuations of Spiritual Energy surfaced repeatedly. Clearly, a Sixth-sense Expert was fighting within.

This turned everyone’s expression sour. Had they already arrived too late?

The team descended quickly and grouped up with Ye Boshou, who had been guarding the area.

“The Time Tree has grown? Are the Jing Family fighting with a future enemy?” Captain Huo asked.

“Currently, it is not clear. A battle erupted here an hour ago. Members of the Jing Family tried to escape from the barrier, but couldn’t break through! From what they said, suddenly bodies emerged from underground and attacked them; the Jing Family suffered heavy losses,” Ye Boshou quickly responded.

This news made everyone look even grimmer. Even members of the Jing Family were trapped inside?

No matter what had happened inside, now they were unable to enter the barrier to support the Jing Family members.

The barrier prevented outsiders from interfering with the palace, allowing the Jing Family exclusive benefits of the palace.

Now, however, it had also become a death sentence for the Jing Family members. An anomaly occurred, preventing the Jing Family members from leaving the barrier. Without support, they could only walk towards death in despair!

An official captain rushed toward the valley but was repelled by an invisible barrier when he came within a certain distance.

A Family powerhouse drew a blade and slashed, but similarly, the barrier shook him off.

“Use the Absolute Spirit Weapon to break this barrier!”

Captain Huo spoke up, and immediately a throwing spear was deployed.

When the spear collided with the barrier, a massive engraving emerged, wrapping the entire valley and revealing the barrier’s true form.

At the point of the spear’s collision with the barrier, a crack emerged about half the height of a person and as thick as an arm, but it quickly healed before it was opened again, and again…

This sunk everyone’s spirits.

Not enough, the Absolute Spirit Weapon possessed absolute spirit characteristics that could break almost any Spiritual Energy, but it seemed insufficient against a high-intensity Spiritual Barrier.

The Absolute Spirit Weapon was like removing a plank of wood from a bucket. Normally, it would cause the water in the bucket to swiftly drain, but what if the bucket was enormous? It would take a while to drain.

Now, the balance between the barrier’s repair ability and the Spirit-Breaking Ability of the Absolute Spirit Weapon was such that they couldn’t actually destroy the barrier.

Of course, they could also continue draining the barrier until its Spiritual Energy was exhausted, but that would take a lot of time!

With that amount of time, the Time Tree would have sprouted.

“Perhaps it needs to be destroyed from the inside. I am a member of the Jing Family; I should still be able to enter,” Jing Lin said with a grim expression. He was well aware that under the current circumstances, once he entered, he wouldn’t be able to leave. It was very likely he would die inside, but he still spoke up.

He didn’t have a good relationship with the other branches of the Jing Family and couldn’t care less about their fate, especially since they forced Jing Nuo to become a Divine Blood Mother, so much for familial ties.

But if unchecked, letting the Time Tree grow would have even worse consequences!

“Damn it, you’ve doomed me. Damn it all!” Jing Lin cursed inwardly, but still exchanged glances with a few strong Jing Family members nearby and silently nodded.

Let’s march toward death!

There was no other choice but to march toward death!

“You guys be careful, Jing Lin,” Captain Huo didn’t stop him, he could only sigh, “It’s all up to you now.”

Then, he handed Jing Lin an A-grade Spiritual Ability Equipment, “This is all I can do to help.”

“Great! That’s enough!” Jing Lin nodded and then turned to Li Yelai, “Brother, after I return, let’s have a good drink! Next time, don’t you fucking back out!”

The last time he invited Li Yelai for a drink, he originally wanted to probe him at the table to see if his gamble was right.

But at the time, Li Yelai declined because of some things that happened after drinking, which greatly disappointed Jing Lin as a Northerner.

“What the hell are you planting flags for?” Li Yelai frowned. It felt too ominous.

The next moment, he felt his palm being tightly gripped by a girl. Li Yelai could feel her body trembling slightly, as if she was in fear.

Right, Doll had sensed Li Yelai’s thoughts…

Originally, Li Yelai was indeed supposed to enter the Barrier.

But now, the Barrier only allowed entry, not exit.

If Li Yelai were to go in, it was estimated he might not be able to escape.

This made Doll extremely fearful, and Li Yelai in turn gripped her palm back.

He whispered softly, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back, I have an ace up my sleeve…”

Doll was silent for a few seconds, then whispered, “You promised me…”

“Yeah!” Li Yelai released her palm and walked towards the Barrier.

On the other side, Jing Lin and four other Jing Family strongmen had already entered the Barrier and, after touching it from inside, indeed found they couldn’t pass through.

Seeing Li Yelai approaching, Jing Lin laughed heartily, “No need for such, brother, just send me up to here, I’ll be right back.”

“Hehe,” Li Yelai chuckled, “Brother, I’m coming in too.”

“Hiss, didn’t expect you to drive this time,” Jing Lin was a bit surprised, thinking Li Yelai was messing around.

The next second, Jing Lin and the other Jing Family members’ eyes widened, disbelieving.

The other strongmen were also faces of shock.

Because Li Yelai had just passed through the Barrier without any reaction and entered inside, arriving in front of Jing Lin. He really came in?

Isn’t it… you’re a Night General, with the surname Li not Jing, right? Everyone was stunned, somewhat sluggish.

“You…” Jing Lin’s eyes widened, “How did you just come in?”

“You already called me brother, you can come in, why can’t I?” Li Yelai said with a smile.

“You wouldn’t be…” Jing Lin suddenly thought of his grandfather and father’s concern for Li Yelai, his face turning pale, “You wouldn’t be my dad’s bastard son, would you?”

“Nuts, you made me laugh,” Li Yelai grinned.

Then, the Soul Well opened.

Li Yelai, clad in Ming Guang Armor, holding the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd, and with the Blood Cloud Ring Head Blade at his waist, walked towards the depths of the valley. His fierce combat power surged, causing all the monsters on the battlefield to take notice.

“Let’s go, brother, let me vent for the three veins!”

…

And the moment Li Yelai walked into the Barrier, those from the Church who had been hiding in the shadows were extremely terrified.

Bai Ya’s face changed drastically; she hadn’t expected Lord Di Yun to be so bold as to enter the Barrier.

But soon, she calmed down and issued orders to the believers next to her.

“Are all the sacrificial offerings ready?”

“We have prepared eighty-eight altars, each with eighty-eight skulls! We can summon the Demon Army at any time!”

“Very good!”
