Chapter 963: Yin Imperial Palace Opens

Under city master’s orders, everyone began to move toward the Yin Imperial Palace in an orderly fashion. They stopped at the outer edge, in order words the place where Li Yunmu was attacked by the yin energy.

After making enquiries, Li Yunmu learned that the city master who was leading the group had the family name of Xiao, and there was someone called Ryukyu Small World’s Holy Son Xiao Rong. He was the child of City Master Xiao.

Li Yunmu followed the gazes of others and saw an elegant youth with pretty facial features. A servant with black clothes was standing behind him, holding a folding fan and waving it lightly.

The youth gave the feeling of being extremely gentle, but Li Yunmu frowned slightly because he could sense the presence of demonic energy in him.

But Li Yunmu didn’t pay it much attention, because the Ryukyu Small World was born from the Ryukyu Spirit Pearl which was a supreme demonic treasure. It was inevitable that someone in it would be infected by demonic energy.

At that moment, City Master Xiao’s movement attracted Li Yunmu’s attention. He suddenly threw black stones from his hand around the Yin Imperial Palace.

The subordinates of the city master who had been standing at their designated positions silently formed a large spell formation. Instantly, the yin energy surrounding the Yin Imperial Palace was suppressed.

City Master Xiao looked at the yin energy being pushed back and nodded his head. “Yin Imperial Palace is now open. Everyone seize the moment and quickly enter!”

When the youths heard that, they rejoiced in their hearts and rushed forward with their eyes shining brightly. They wanted to seize the key moment and collect the treasures for themselves.

But Li Yunmu didn’t move. He was not alone in that too. The youths who had strong backing and Holy Son Xiao Rong also stayed behind.

Li Yunmu came to a quick decision then that the youths rushing forth were people who came from ordinary backgrounds or were disciples of the clans which had declined greatly.

When the youth in the lead stepped inside the stone gate of the Yin Imperial Palace, the smile on his face disappeared. Just a moment ago, his speed had been extremely fast causing, but at that moment, his expression changed to that of alarm.

An enormous energy tried to enter his body. That energy quickly drilled into his skin and rushed into his dantian, from where it began to spread through his whole body.

It was self-detonation!

The people behind him sensed that something wasn’t right. They could see the change in the youth in the front and noticed his presence becoming unstable.

All the young talents with comparatively faster speeds were also in a similar situation. Their expressions became unsightly one by one, and their bodies swelled despite them trying their utmost to control it.

But even Li Yunmu would have to spend a large amount of experience points to control it, so how could the young talents who had barely reached tribulation passing stage suppress it forcefully?

An explosion rang out in the air where the body of the young talent burst apart. The plants surrounding him instantly turned to ashes, and he dropped on top of them in a pile of burnt black meat.

That young talent’s explosion was like a signal. All the youths whose bodies had been invaded by the yin energy began to explode one by one.

For a while, blood and meat flew around in all directions. The reek of blood slowly spread throughout the air, and Li Yunmu, who stood on the side, began to frown. It seemed like Yin Imperial Palace wasn’t that simple.

The young talents whose body hadn’t been invaded were shaking in fear. The men of different clans had rushed to enter the palace, but they discovered that the yin energy which had been suppressed until then rushed out once more.

It took the shape of a long dragon and shot toward the group of young talents. Its powerful presence, which could create spatial cracks, made all of them panic.

They unleashed their most powerful attacks, attempting to resist the dragon formed of yin energy, but they could only despair. The long dragon formed of yin energy broke through their attacks and continued flying toward them.

Under the despaired gazes of the young talents, the yin energy dragon entered their bodies, and before long, their situation became similar to that of the youths who had rushed in first. One by one, all of them exploded and turned into piles of blood and flesh.

When all the young talents who had entered the Yin Imperial Palace were wiped out, City Master Xiao nodded in satisfaction. He extended his hand, then sensed the thick smell of blood in the surrounding and said with an indifferent expression, “Alright, the great spell has started. We can enter now!”

Li Yunmu’s eyebrows jumped. For the opening of the Yin Imperial Palace, the majority of the young talents of Ryukyu Small World had been summoned. It was quite unexpected then that the method City Master Xiao used for opening the Yin Imperial Palace would instantly cause the deaths of almost 70% of the youths present.

Li Yunmu couldn’t help but feel somewhat sorrowful. Those people were the future source of space elements for him! He hadn’t expected that City Master Xiao would be so ruthless and wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice so many young talents to achieve his aim.

Li Yunmu was shocked by it and sentenced City Master Xiao to death. But even though he could be killed with a wave of a hand, Li Yunmu did not attack right away. The Emperor’s Goblet had a higher priority.

He was afraid that there were still some restrictions in the Yin Imperial Palace, for which City Master Xiao, who had much more knowledge about it, would become necessary.

Li Yunmu could be considered as unparalleled in the Ryukyu Small World, but when all was said and done, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu was an existence of ancient times, so in order to reduce the consumption of experience points, Li Yunmu intended to listen to City Master Xiao for a time being.

What the city master gave a second go-ahead, the remaining young talents released astonishing presences and rushed to Yin Imperial Palace.

Li Yunmu saw that Xiao Rong was also rushing forward, so it seemed like there were no problems left. City Master Xiao shouldn’t be as malicious as to get his own son killed.

Because of that, Li Yunmu also followed behind them. When he entered the stone gate, the people rushing in front of him had already disappeared.

He carefully observed the interior part of Yin Imperial Palace. There was a long passage in front of him. Its walls were made of thick blue stones and were extremely glossy.

There were lamps placed on both sides of the wall. Their flames were blue, which made them somewhat cold and gloomy, but they were extremely bright.

The two rows of lamps extended in the front as far as Li Yunmu could see.

He kept walking for a few hours, but still didn’t see any of the young talents who had entered before him despite walking the same passage.

After realizing that, Li Yunmu began to frown. He felt that Yin Imperial Palace was truly extraordinary. Even with his strength, he couldn’t sense the ending of the passage.
