Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 718 Yu Yuan
  At this time, the sun was setting more and more to the west, and the dim afterglow of the sun fell on the mountains, creating a series of light and shadow curtains.

The location of Gu Xun and others at this time is roughly located on the north side of the mountain. The range of sunlight coverage is extremely limited. Walking on the road is basically the same as if there is no sun. For ordinary people, the vision is seriously blocked.

Fortunately, the four of them are not ordinary people. Even if the light is dim and the road is rough, it will not have any impact.

Not long after, the four of them followed this deserted path down to the bottom of the mountain.

Based on his own pace, Gu Xun judged that their current location was lower than the previous altitude on the other side of the mountain.

This place is basically a dark area that cannot be touched by the sun all year round. The surrounding mountains tightly surround this place, forming a natural "pit". Even in summer, this place gives people a cold feeling. It felt damp and cold, and there were some unfamiliar grass and ferns growing on the ground. The sticky moisture was rising up along the ground, making people couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Judging from the traces on the ground, there are also people coming and going here, but compared to the Fuso Shenmu, the number and frequency of people coming and going here are far less.

The Great Elder of Shushan stretched out his hand and said, "Yu Yuan is right ahead. Please follow me and continue walking."

Gu Xun nodded and couldn't help but sigh, "The Land of Sunset... This place is worthy of its name. The sun is indeed out of reach."

The Great Elder of Shushan smiled and did not comment on this, but continued to lead the way.

Gu Xun and others quickly followed.

The deeper you go, the darker and colder the environment becomes, and some taller trees appear all around. Although they are all lush and leafy, they give people a sense of lifelessness.

During this process, everyone could clearly feel that the road surface was sloping downward. In other words, they were still descending.

This process did not last long, and soon they arrived at their real destination-a crypt entrance.

The great elder of Shushan pointed to the cave, "Go down from here to the entrance of Yuyuan."

"Are you guys going to go down together with me?"

Concubine Yan and Zhang Han looked at Gu Xun, waiting for his answer.

Gu Xun frowned and fell into deep thought... Here, he could clearly sense the cold aura that belonged to Yu Yuan coming from below one after another.

Although this breath was hidden and very weak, it was obviously restricted, but he still didn't know what would happen later.

If there was any danger, Zhang Han, who was the weakest and could not withstand Yu Yuan's power, would easily get into trouble, so he said to Zhang Han, "You stay outside and say nothing if anything happens."

"General, I will obey." Although Zhang Han wanted to go down and see what Yu Yuan was like, he had to obey Gu Xun's order and had no choice but to accept it.

Gu Xun nodded and said to Concubine Yan, "Let's go down together to see what's going on."

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, the great elder of Shushan nodded and said, "The two of you can just go down with me."

The three of them immediately entered the crypt, and after a few rounds of spiraling down the narrow and dark tunnel, they arrived at Yu Yuan's location, or where Yu Yuan's seal was.

The aura of Yu Yuan that Gu Xun felt became clearer and clearer.

Concubine Yan couldn't help but frown tightly. Her perception was not as detailed as Gu Xun's, but the closer she got to the inside, the discomfort on her body began to become more and more obvious.

In an underground cave that suddenly opened up, there were a few burning lamps burning quietly around it, emitting a meager light to prevent people from falling into the deep darkness where they couldn't see their fingers.

In this dim space, there are still several figures sitting silently in the middle, wearing Shushan's dark blue clothes, with a little bit of Yu Yuan's breath lingering around them.

Obviously they are also Yu Yuan's guards, and they are Yu Yuan's guards guarding Yu Yuan's seal.

Probably because they were guarding next to Yu Yuan, the aura of Yu Yuan on their bodies could not be completely suppressed and leaked out. However, because they were not actively stimulated, these auras were not like those of Yu Yuan's guards who had taken action at the Fuso Shenmu before. Generally aggressive and destructive. In the center of these Yu Yuan guards, there was a dark pit.

Although the environment here is dark enough, the first thought that comes to anyone's mind after seeing this pothole is definitely darkness.

The darkness of nothingness.

This is exactly the same as the pothole in the second picture that Gu Xun got from the Fuso tree.

In fact, Gu Xun recognized it immediately after seeing it.

Several Yu Yuan guards guarding the seal saw the Great Elder of Shushan arriving, and they all stood up to greet him and said, "Great Elder."

They did not ask who Gu Xun and Yan Fei were, nor did they wonder what the elder was doing here at this time. They just showed an attitude of waiting for orders.

Just when the great elder asked them to stay aside for the time being, Gu Xun interrupted, "Great elder, I suggest you let them withdraw from here first."

The great elder of Shushan condensed his eyes, stared at Gu Xun firmly, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"

A few more Yu Yuan guards could not reverse the situation, but Gu Xun's request made it difficult for the elder to think too much.

Gu Xun waved his hand to signal the other party to calm down, "Don't worry, Great Elder, Gu will never break his previous promise."

"It's just for safety, just like I left Zhang Han up there."

"I can handle some situations, you and Concubine Yan can handle them, but they can't."

The Great Elder did not order the Yu Yuan guards, but asked again, "So, what do you want to do?"

"I don't know now." Gu Xun shook his head, looked at the pothole and replied with complicated eyes, "But this kind of terrifying aura... Even if you let me break the seal, I won't be happy to be this evil person."

"But I definitely have to do something."

The aura of Yu Yuan in this underground area is actually not as active as the one at the Fuso Sacred Tree before. It is just very strong, but seems to be in a state of silence.

However, this situation is enough for Gu Xun to further intuitively feel the nature of this power - chaos, disorder, madness, violence...

Basically, it has nothing to do with praise.

Gu Xun had only felt something like this kind of aura from Amu, but to really say it was powerful, Amu's demonic aura was not as good as Yu Yuan's aura here.

However, Amu's demonic energy is in an extremely active state, and the effect shown is relatively significant.

At the same time, it seemed that because of this strong Yu Yuan aura, Gu Xun's system panel began to flicker violently again.

It was precisely in order to understand the cause of the system mutation that Gu Xun insisted on visiting Yuyuan.

He had nothing to do with the Fuso tree that no longer responded. He couldn't just light a fire and burn it, so he changed his target to Yu Yuan.

Anyway, as long as the Fuso Sacred Tree is still there, there should be no major problems with Yu Yuan's seal. Even if it causes some changes, Gu Xun is confident that he can suppress it.

Isn't it the pro*plus*ultra version of Demonic Energy? Now it's not difficult for him to deal with Amu who is in full burst of Demonic Energy. It's probably not a problem to deal with Yu Yuan who is sealed.
