NOVEL WEB Chapter 472: Is There a Netherworld Sect Base Nearby?
He naturally knew the value of this bead and dared not delay in his actions.
Thinking thus, Zhen's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Luo Yao, holding a jade box in his hand.
Inside this jade box was a pure white jade slip.
This jade slip was engraved with extremely complex runes, giving it a mysterious and ancient feel.
After taking out the jade slip, Zhen's figure once again vanished from the spot.
The next moment, he reappeared beside Luo Yao, and his hand now held another bead emitting a faint light.
This bead was identical to the one Luo Yao had seen earlier, both were the size of a thumb and emitted a faint glow.
Seeing the bead appear in Zhen's hand, a glint flashed through Luo Yao's eyes.
He knew that this bead was certainly no ordinary object and that he had surely made a great gain this time.
Thinking this, ecstatic joy slowly emerged in Luo Yao's eyes.
The runes engraved within the white jade slip depicted a sealing technique.
With this sealing technique, it was possible to seal the bead, thereby preventing the power it emitted from damaging the surroundings.
With this thought, Luo Yao's gaze fell on the bead in his hand.
He gently traced his hand over the bead, and then, applying a slight force...
"Click..." With a soft sound, the bead was forcefully sealed within the jade slip by Luo Yao.
After the bead was sealed, Luo Yao could feel an immensely powerful force burst forth from the jade slip.
This power seemed to possess a mysterious force, causing one to shudder.
Looking at the jade slip in his hand, a glint once again flashed through Luo Yao's eyes.
He knew he had come to the right place.
Thinking this, Luo Yao's gaze fell on a mysterious passage ahead.
Thinking thus, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, he appeared in the Stone Chamber within the ruins of Shi Men Town.
As Luo Yao disappeared, bursts of light emerged from the crack that had formed.
These lights emitted a faint glow, as if harboring some mysterious force.
Soon after these lights appeared, the crack closed up again, as if it had never been there.
Back in the Stone Chamber, Luo Yao couldn't help but feel a palpitation.
He could feel the immense power contained within the jade slip, which seemed to hold some mysterious force, causing a shudder.
"Let's explore a bit longer, and if we find nothing else, we'll head out..."
Luo Yao whispered this to the Shadow Guard Commander, Zhen, beside him.
Afterward, he silently walked out of the Stone Chamber.
He started exploring other areas.
Luo Yao and the Shadow Guards continued their exploration within the ruins of Shi Men Town, passing through many stone chambers and countless stone steps, but still, they found no valuable items or clues.
"Young Family Head, we have been exploring for nearly six hours, but it seems, there is no yield," Zhen said softly on one side.
Luo Yao nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping through the Stone Chamber, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Well then, let's head out."
Saying this, Luo Yao's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, he appeared at the entrance of the ruins of Shi Men Town.
As Luo Yao appeared, the entrance to the ruins slowly closed.
Watching the closing Stone Gate, a glint flashed through Luo Yao's eyes.
He knew that he had not come in vain this time.
To have gained something quite decent was already very good.
To desire more would be somewhat greedy...
"Next, let's see how the Elder of the Xuanyin Sect's remote branch housed in that dwelling is doing..."
As Luo Yao spoke, he walked toward a house outside the ruins of Shi Men Town.
And there, the house was previously used to shelter the Xuanyin Sect Elder.
When Luo Yao arrived outside the house, he saw a familiar figure.
This figure was none other than the Xuanyin Sect Elder previously severely injured by the Huangquan Sect.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged inside the house, his complexion pale and his breath weak.
However, surprisingly, dense life force was continuously swirling around the Elder.
It seemed that his life was indeed not supposed to end yet.
It had not been in vain that Luo Yao had previously fed the Elder some precious Healing Pills.
"However, if that is the case, then things might indeed become more interesting..."
"After this Xuanyin Sect Elder returns to the Xuanyin Sect."
"The conflict between the Xuanyin Sect and the Huangquan Sect will probably gradually escalate, even to an irreparable degree."
While watching the Xuanyin Sect Elder before him,
Luo Yao thought to himself.
...
