Chapter 347 Ch 347: Ye Xiao & Queen (??)
The moment Ye Xiao walked past the entrance, he appeared inside an underground tunnel.
Surprisingly, this place did not have any sign of the appearance of wind blades. With the absence of wind blades, this place no longer looked as terrifying as before.
Queen, seeing Ye Xiao walking past the entrance, followed his footsteps immediately.
The underground tunnel was very narrow. Ye Xiao led Queen deeper and deeper into the tunnel. After a while, they arrived at the end of the tunnel where the tunnel had expanded and transformed into a small cave-like structure.
In this space, there was a jade bed placed against the wall. A skeleton emitting a hazy radiance was sitting cross-legged on the jade bed.
Even after countless years, this skeleton still emitted a very powerful aura. Judging from the hazy light emitted from the skeleton, this skeleton must have been at least a Master of Chaos of First Level or above when it was alive.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath. He was extremely shocked. He never expected to discover such a place just in the outer region of the Mystic Realm.
There was a leather notebook placed in front of the skeleton.
Ye Xiao bent down and picked up the leather notebook.
The notebook was already covered in dust. When Ye Xiao touched it with his palm, the dust naturally dissipated, revealing the few big words on the cover of the notebook.
"Storm Sovereign's Blade Art!"
Ye Xiao glanced at Queen before turning to look at the Storm Sovereign's Blade Art curiously. This skill could be said to be an ancient relic since this Mystic Realm was from a forgotten era. This kind of ancient relic gave Ye Xiao a very mysterious feeling.
At the same time, Ye Xiao also confirmed that this skeleton was indeed a Master of Chaos of at least First Level. The Storm Sovereign's Blade Art that it left behind was very extraordinary.
However, for some reason, Ye Xiao's attitude towards this skill wasn't very friendly. He casually flipped open the ancient book, and after roughly flipping through it a few times, he tossed it to Queen.

Ye Xiao shook his head in disappointment and started looking around once more.
Queen, on the other hand, muttered, "I have no use for this skill as well."
Her voice was so low that Ye Xiao was unable to hear them.
Although she had no use of Storm Sovereign's Blade Art, she still silently kept the skill just like the Elixir of Life. She chose to keep them for Ye Xiao, and if Ye Xiao ever needed them, she would give him back these treasures.
Finding nothing, the two of them left this place and continued to explore the Mystic Realm.
About a month later, Ye Xiao and Queen could be seen standing in front of a wall of fog. Nothing could be seen beyond this fog, but they could feel a strange attraction to the other side of this wall of fog. It was as if something was trying to summon them there.
The two of them tried to enter the fog but were surprised to find that they could not step forward at all. They could feel invisible energy blocking their path like an immovable mountain.
They were still trying to find a way in when the wall of fog suddenly disappeared. It disappeared completely without living a trace, as if it was never there.
In the next moment, a few people in guard's uniform appeared. Only the person standing ahead of these guards was not in a uniform.
Ye Xiao and Queen immediately became alert. They looked at these guards cautiously.
Qing He, the person in the lead, had a serious expression on his face. Without saying much, he first introduced his name and then stretched out his hand and pointed behind him. "Follow me."
"What's that?"
Only at this time Ye Xiao and Queen truly looked what was beyond the wall of fog that had disappeared just a few seconds ago. Both of them were astonished. Behind Qing He, there was actually a misty path. The surroundings of the path were filled with surging and intangible auras.
From their point of view, this path was pitch black and extremely deep. It made people feel fear for no reason. For some reason, Ye Xiao felt a deep fear. His instinct told him not to step on this path.
"Qing He, where are we going?"
Ye Xiao asked carefully. He couldn't figure out how did the wall of fog disappeared and how these people appeared.
There must be a reason for their appearance!
Now that Qing He had suddenly appeared and was about to lead him and Queen on an unknown path, he felt extremely uneasy.
"Just follow me. You will know everything as long as you can walk through this path!"
Qing He waved his hand, no longer giving Ye Xiao a chance to ask anything. He directly turned around and started walking onto the path.
Seeing this, Ye Xiao and Queen looked at each other in dismay. Both of them could hear the hidden meaning behind Qing He's words. It was clear that this path was like a test for them. If they could cross the path, they would be qualified to receive answers to their questions. And if they could not, an unknown fate would be waiting for them.
After hesitating for a while, both of them nodded their heads at each other. Then they gritted their teeth and following Qing He, they stepped on the path as well.
Queen's condition was unknown, but Ye Xiao immediately lost consciousness the moment he stepped on the path.
Surprisingly, although he had lost consciousness, his unconscious body was still slowly walking.
Moreover, Ye Xiao could feel his body walking forward. In fact, Ye Xiao felt as if he was about to lose himself in an unknown void. It was as if something was attacking directly his soul.
Only, every time his soul was about to disappear, there would be a light and crisp bell chime.
The source of this bell chime was unknown. No one could tell where the chime was coming from, however, as soon as the bell rang, Ye Xiao's consciousness would immediately return to normal. And right in the next moment, he would lose consciousness and go through the same process.
This strange situation made Ye Xiao extremely surprised.
Since he could feel everything, he could tell what exactly was happening. It was just that he was unable to take any action for the time being on this strange path.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNonetheless, Ye Xiao could tell that the bell chime was like a rope binding his soul. Every time his soul is about to disappear, it would ring and forcefully pull back his soul. It was as if this bell chime was there to protect him like a guardian.
After an unknown period of time, a light appeared. At the same time, a bell chime rang. Ye Xiao's soul recovered and his consciousness returned to his body.
Ye Xiao's eyes opened up immediately. He took a deep breath and for the first time, he did not lose consciousness immediately after walking up.
The first thing Ye Xiao did was breathing deeply a few times. Only when he felt some strength returning to his body did he look to the side, wanting to see Queen's condition.
To his surprise, Queen was no longer beside him.
Looking ahead, Qing He and the guards had also disappeared somewhere at some unknown time. He was now standing alone on this strange path.
"Where are they?"
Ye Xiao was shocked. He was about to turn back when he sensed an extremely strong evil energy surging. His body trembled automatically. A deep fear was born in his heart. This fear came directly from his soul.
He turned a little, only to see dark energy surging in waves, gathering in one place from everywhere.
Very soon, the dark energy manifested into a huge evil body with eight hands. Its facial features could not be seen, but Ye Xiao could feel the terror of this evil being just from the dark energy surging around its body and its powerful aura.
"A Master of Chaos of at least 8th or 9th Level."
Ye Xiao knew at that moment that his previous instincts were correct. He should have never stepped on this path to begin with.
Run!
Only this thought remained in Ye Xiao's mind. The difference between just a single level among Masters of Chaos is like a vast ocean, covering them is almost impossible.
Not to mention, Ye Xiao was just a Celestial Sovereign of Chaos.
Without giving it a second thought, Ye Xiao started running for his life. He knew at that moment that he had to run for his life. If he wants to live, he has to get away from this evil being as soon as possible.
And...
Queen's whereabout was also unknown. She was even weaker than him at this moment. If she meets this evil being, she will definitely die!
