Chapter 1223 Stealth Assassination
The dozen or so trusted confidants exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
really......
If there is anyone in this world who can control Lord Ye Yang's stubborn temper, it would probably only be Lord Ye Ge.
At this moment, Ye Yang's ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly caught a strange sound.
"Hey, did you guys hear me?"
Ye Yang's expression suddenly turned serious.
As a martial artist, his mental strength wasn't particularly strong, but his hearing and eyesight were absolutely top-notch.
Several subordinates were taken aback, and began to listen attentively.
"What? There's nothing there..."
"follow me."
As Ye Yang spoke, he took a step and ran like the wind into the depths of the dark passage.
Without hesitation, everyone quickly followed.
After rushing through the intricate passageways for a moment, Ye Yang suddenly stopped, raised his hand, and made a "conceal" gesture.
The dozen or so people scattered instantly, each using their own magic.
"Secret Technique - Mimicry and Disguise!"
Their robes and skin blended seamlessly into the dim environment, and the group seemed to vanish, disappearing completely into the darkness.
Ye Yang also entered a stealth state of mimicry and camouflage, moving forward slowly.
This is a secret technique unique to their unit.
His troops consist entirely of martial artists, without the support of mages. In many special situations, they cannot rely solely on holding their breath to stealth, making this kind of stealth technique absolutely necessary.
Ye Yang was immersed in darkness, his eyes fixed on what lay ahead.
Several elongated shadows, cast by the firelight, flickered eerily in the passage ahead. Then, a dozen figures dressed in priestly robes slowly entered their field of vision.
Leading them were none other than the Golden Spirit Priest and the Earth Spirit Priest!
'As expected, Xiao Ge was right, those people from the Temple of the Priests really did come here...' Ye Yang pondered.
He opened the Deep Blue system panel and tried to contact Night Song via communications.
[Deep Blue System: No communication signal currently. Please try again later.]
"No signal?" Ye Yang asked in surprise. "Could it be because it's too hot here?"
Two high priests, leading more than twenty divine sorcerers and temple warriors, finally arrived at the end of the passage and stepped into a huge underground space.
The layout of this underground space resembles a large, partially collapsed ancient mine, grand in scale yet dilapidated.
The earth spirit priest crouched on the ground, his hands pressed against the earth, seemingly probing something with his divine power.
“That’s right, this is it.” The Earth Spirit Priest said, “I sensed the power of extreme Yin. Deep underground in this location, there should be some kind of ancient formation. It is this formation that directly affects the entire map of all races and severs the connection between the Sea of Gods and the mortal world.”
The Golden Spirit Priest asked, "Can you break this formation?"
The Earth Spirit Priest replied, "It will probably be difficult. This formation is buried a thousand meters underground and sealed with extremely Yin energy. My current divine power is insufficient to break this seal. Unless..."
Golden Spirit Priest: "Unless what?"
"Using the great divine technique from the Earth element divine power, 'Collapse of Ten Thousand Valleys,' should be able to destroy the seal and the formation itself."
The Earth Spirit Priest paused for a moment: "But it requires my divine soul as a sacrifice, and the collision of Earth Spirit divine power and Extreme Yin divine power underground will produce a super earthquake powerful enough to shift the continental plates. The entire Eastern Continent will probably be torn apart, and many people will likely die."
"It's alright," said the Golden Spirit Priest in a detached tone. "It is their honor to sacrifice themselves for the gods."
"Moreover, too many disobedient individuals have emerged in the Eastern Continent in recent years—gene companies, humans, the Ye family—it's time to teach these mortals a lesson."
"As for you, once the connection with the divine realm is re-established and the Supreme God has dealt with those damned rebellious gods, you will naturally be resurrected."
Earth Spirit Priest: "Okay."
Ye Yang cursed inwardly, "Damn it..."
"Let's begin," said the Golden Spirit Priest.
"I don't have enough divine power right now. I need someone to help me set up the formation and infuse it with divine power," said the Earth Spirit Priest.
The Golden Spirit Priest nodded and instructed the priests behind him to set up the magic array separately.
"..."
In the shadows, a Ye family warrior whispered, "Brother Yang, these priests seem to be planning to attack us. What should we do?"
"Of course we can't let them get away with this, need I say more?" Ye Yang cursed under his breath, his voice heavy.
“However, those Gold Spirit Priest and Earth Spirit Priest seem rather difficult to deal with,” the subordinate said. “They are both eleventh-level divine mages, the gap between us is too great. Should we contact Lord Night Song?”
Ye Yang shook his head: "No, I don't know what happened, the signal suddenly dropped here."
Subordinate: "What should we do then?"
Ye Yang pondered for a while, looking at the priests who were spreading out in the mine to set up the formation, and some ideas came to him.
......
"Divine Art - Kun Yuan Decree!"
The Earth Spirit Priest sat cross-legged in the center of the bottom of the mine, his palms surging with divine power like mud, continuously pouring it into the ground.
A large, earth-yellow array expanded beneath him, emitting a faint divine light.
The mine is extremely large and has several levels.
The clergy dispersed across the various levels, beginning preparations to set up the array.
Ye Yang and his men approached the three priests on this floor silently.
He raised his hand, gesturing for his men to take action.
"on!"
“Swish, swish, swish—!”
Five or six figures suddenly appeared like ghosts!
Two men attacked from behind, swiftly locking their throats; the others flashed their blades, decisively and cleanly stabbing at vital points!
"Pfft!"
"Ugh—!"
The two priests stared wide-eyed, and before they could even react, they were already dead.
The last priest, witnessing this scene, was utterly astonished and was about to cry out...
"Fifth-tier demonic martial skill - Caesar's Demon Blade!"
Ye Yang moved like lightning, spinning in mid-air, his right leg drawing a sharp arc of black and red light!
Where the blade flashed, heads flew off, and blood splattered!
Within moments, the three priests had fallen to the ground silently.
"Hey, I've been wanting to kill a few of these guys in the temple who wear divine robes and talk nonsense for a long time."
Ye Yang sneered. This stealthy attack strategy was inspired by the assassin games he used to play.
This place is so big, and these priests have voluntarily separated; it's practically a free opportunity.
The earth spirit priest alone could not perform that great divine spell; he needed the help of the other priests.
So as long as he sneaks over stealthily, takes out a few of the clergy who are helping him, and eliminates the clergy who is setting up the array's core, then his array will not be able to take shape.
That's what Ye Yang thought.
These priests probably never imagined that there would be other people besides them in such a deep underground mine.
Tsk... I really am a genius...
"Lord Ye Yang," asked the subordinate beside him, "shall we continue?"
"Of course we'll continue." Ye Yang waved his hand. "Destroying just one array eye isn't enough to stabilize the situation. Let's take out a few more people first. Anyway, apart from the Golden Spirit Official and the Earth Spirit Official, the other officials are all mid-level officials. We can take out as many as we can."
However......
"Is it?"
A chilling voice suddenly rang out.
Ye Yang and the others froze, then suddenly turned around.
The Golden Spirit Priest stood not far away, coldly watching them.
