Chapter 1380: “The Hunt Begins (2)”
Such a situation, had never urred before. The mboyant Pce had specially sent their people here to investigate but had never found any sign of their members. This was one point that they found highly suspicious and they had linked it to the chaos that had happened in the Lower Realm previously, when the other pces had been thrown into a tizzy when they lost their maps and they began to develop some ominous guesses.
As they had thought, they had just encountered people from the me Demons Pce on this expedition and they had immediately attacked their group.
By the time the people from the Soul Return Pces appeared, the battle quickly became even more intense.
“Those grandmothers’ sons from the me Demons Pce really think that they own all of us now. The Elders were right, all those people we sent down here previously must have been ambushed by those bastards from the me Demons Pce.” The people of the mboyant Pce were indignant with rage and they were already prepared to die in their search for the Dark Emperor’s tomb. To the men here, heir loyalty and devotion to the mboyant Pce made them feel their selfless sacrifice was the ultimate sign of their dedication.
But dying under the hands of people from the other pces, would be a most intolerable humiliation!
“Whatever we say now is of no use. We do not have time to waste with these people from the me Demons Pce. We should take advantage of this time when the Lower Realm is in such chaos and the various pces are all distracted to quickly find the Dark Emperor’s tomb instead.” The leader of the men said cautiously.
The other men from the mboyant Pce nodded in agreement and after they have calmed down, the biting cold at bottom of the Heaven’s End Cliff immediately made them feel the chill and they had no choice but to summon their spirit powers to keep their bodies warm.
It was not the first time the people in this group hade down to the bottom of the Heaven’s End Cliff. They hade here with other teams before but most of the people in their old teams had lost their lives down here. They had not managed to find the Dark Emperor’s tomb in the end but had been fortunate enough to survive as they escaped back to the mboyant Pce. This time, the mboyant Pce had gathered all these veterans together and they had formed into a group of five hundred people toe once again down to the bottom of the Heaven’s End Cliff.
This could be considered to be an extremely big force but unfortunately, on the tenth day after they descended the Heaven’s End Cliff, they had encountered a group from the me Demons Pce and their numbers had now diminished by more than half with less than two hundred of them left.
But they were all men of experience anding to the Heaven’s End Cliff was not that difficult a task for them. Although they did not have a map, but based on the many expeditions the mboyant Pce had sent forth to this ce over the past few centuries and with the ces those people had managed to slowly uncover, the group had already discovered a path that was slightly safer.
Till they came to the ce filled with icicles.....
The sharp and pointed icicles sent chills into the people who looked upon them and what shocked the people from the mboyant Pces even more was, upon this path they were familiar with, through the thick mist, they could faintly see the figures of some people!
“Who goes there!” The leader of the group roared out a warning shout, the men behind him all readying their guard.
But after waiting for a rather long while, he still did not hear any response. The dark blurry figures remained hidden within the darkness, not moving at all.
One of the men then suggested in a whisper: “The situation doesn’t feel right. Should we try to take a look first?”
The face of the leader of the group furrowed up in a frown a moment before he got several of his subordinates to throw the Spirit Fire Globes forward, to light up the icyyer before them.
And what was then revealed made every single one of them gasp loudly!
“Mummy! ! !” The more timid ones immediately fell to their knees, their faces contorted in terror, their eyes almost popping out of their heads.
In theyer of ice before their eyes, a countless number of corpses hung pierced through by the sharp icicles. All the bodies had been turned upside down, the crowns of their heads facing the ground with the icicles pierced out through their mouths, their heads a gory mess over the icicles!
