Chapter 408: Undercover in the Dark Mystic, the Abyss of Sin
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Seeing the ten or so people in front of them suddenly disappear like shadows, the Dark Mystic fleet that was escorting the goods to their base in the wild region more or less started to panic.
Amidst the noise, an exceptionally cold aura gathered and turned into half a human figure.
That aura was much stronger than the immortal star lords, almost in the region lord realm. As his cold gaze swept across the entire fleet, the noisy fleet immediately became deathly silent as if someone was strangling them.
He used a narrative tone to ask, “What’s wrong?”
The immortals looked at each other. In the end, one of the wind-controlling immortals stood up with his scalp tingling, telling the story of “seeing ghosts” without any exaggeration.
To be honest, even if he didn’t exaggerate, just this incident alone was enough to cause the totems in the convoy to have countless nightmares.
The immortal who stood up and told the story was named Karu. After he finished, he still had lingering fear in his heart, “… Leader, we’ve never seen such a strange group of people before. Will something happen?”
Ever since Karu joined the Dark Mystic Palace a few years ago, he had only felt the fear of others. He didn’t expect that he would break out in cold sweat when he was escorting the goods like usual.
Speaking of which, he didn’t even see a trace of blood, but the eerieness was such that it could be carved into his bones. When the other immortals heard this, they too began to speculate.
“Could it be the group that intercepted team 4 last time? But…”
“Team 4’s report said that those people were all dressed up as escorts. It doesn’t match at all.”
“Do you guys think that those 10 or so people really disappeared?”
“…”
The group of immortals all had their speculations. No one knew who started it, but they closed their eyes to detect the remaining aura.
“Strange, it’s only been a while, but their aura is almost gone!”
“The skill that I usually use to detect the enemy’s whereabouts has lost its effect too.”
Seeing that the topic was drifting further away, the leader of Dark Mystic Palace’s convoy looked unhappy.
“Since the people blocking the way have already disappeared, why bother? Hurry up and bring the goods to the destination. If you ruin the palace master’s plan, how many lives do you think you have to spare?”
The immortals immediately agreed and didn’t dare to dawdle any longer. After the leader left the convoy to report back to the Dark Mystic Palace, the team of over 100 people then returned to normal and continued to move forward. Occasionally, there would be mention of the leader that had appeared out of thin air just now, most of them were words of disdain.
“Tch, if it wasn’t that our boss went out on a mission, how would it be his turn to make decisions for team 3?!”
“He keeps mentioning the palace master left and right. He’s just a lowly person with power!”
Nobody noticed that a beautiful butterfly had stopped at a corner of the top of the carriage. Under the illumination of the natural light, it reflected a beautiful, colorful light that was extremely dazzling.
On the other side, the leader of team 3, who had turned into invisible energy, hurried back to the Dark Mystic Palace. He didn’t notice that there was a small tail behind him, either. In the darkness, the brightly lit place was especially eye-catching.
Soon, Chu Feng followed him into the Dark Mystic Palace. As for the various barriers, restrictions, and patrols within the palace, they were naturally ignored.
The Dark Mystic Palace wasn’t within the wild region. It was one region away from the wild region and two away from the sky region. It was located within a mountain range. The blood-red buildings were hidden among the rocks. If it wasn’t for the signboards, even immortals would find it hard to enter the underground palace.
After entering, Chu Feng left a trace of perception on the leader, following which he inspected the vast underground buildings.
In the Dark Mystic Palace were almost a hundred immortals, most of them at the star lord and region lord realm. As for those with true God-level cultivation, there were more than 20 of them!
The one with the highest cultivation was Dark Mystic Palace’s palace master, who was an advanced God Marquise. At this moment, he was having fun with a group of male prostitutes… The scene could be described as a single flower amidst green leaves.
The immortal who was called “leader” earlier lowered his head and waited quietly outside the door. It seemed that he wasn’t taken seriously either. Other than the contrast between the noisiness inside and the quietness outside, there were many other eye-catching scenes in the Dark Mystic Palace. After passing by five God General elders, Chu Feng’s perception swept through several scenes.
In a room with blood splatter all over the walls, a few immortals were injecting something into their test subjects. After injecting a syringe of green liquid and another syringe of brown liquid that was bubbling, the unconscious test subject suddenly started to struggle madly.
“Plop… plop…” The subject’s heart was beating and its blood was boiling as he struggled madly! That “person”‘s eyes were filled with despair as if he had lost the power to self-destruct.
In the next instant, both shoulders and arms turned into thin vines with green leaves, his flesh and bones peeled off, leaving only his spine that was dyed brown, supporting the desperate flower bud.
It was as if a plant had been pruned by the gardeners, leaving only a trembling trunk. Bright red liquid condensed like the morning dew and dripped down.
“Drip.”
White houses, blood-red houses, and dark-red houses that were repeatedly filled with blood… There were countless of them. They were clearly in the mortal world, but it seemed more terrifying than hell.
At this moment, Chu Feng connected the fragrance of the flowers that filled the underground palace to the houses, to the “pigs” that were packed like sardines outside, and to the countless gold and silver treasures.
This was really… evil. In this underground palace, where even the air was tainted with the stench, countless “people” were trampling on life. Chu Feng could even hear an immortal who had just run out of a Dark Mystic Palace’s laboratory pointing at a “flower” while laughing maniacally, “This is great! We’ve cultivated a new species!”
The listeners were delighted. Some complained that the “flower seedlings” that were sent over were not strong enough.
“How many have died this month? Why can’t they survive…”
Hearing his mutters, an assistant secretly rolled his eyes as he thought, “You aren’t even willing to give them an injection, yet you still want those aborigines to not go crazy?”
That “person” waved his hand and gestured for the assistant to change to another test subject, “Sigh, it would be great if I could use totems or even immortals to do experiments. When would that be fulfilled? If I could do that, I’ll definitely be able to cultivate flowers that satisfy all my customers!”
The laughter pierced through the barrier, causing the test subject who was pushed into the laboratory to almost go crazy. Many slaves curled up in fear, but they could not even get away from the door of sin. It was useless to struggle.
The children screamed in fear, but they were still taken away from their loved ones’ embrace. In the end, only the “pig” who cried until he was dehydrated was left, and yet he was only given the disdainful remark saying that he did not look good.
It was unknown from which moment on, but the Dark Mystic Palace, which was buried deep underground and surely illegal, suddenly fell into a dead silence. It was as if the millions of living beings inside were all dead in an instant.
Vast and mighty divine strength circulated, leaving a deep mark on the bodies of those who had committed heinous crimes. The mark was like a flower but also a ghost. Ferocious and evil ghosts seemed to be sealed in the marks. At the moment, there were only two figures moving in the underground palace.
