HPDBC Chapter 326 Guardian of the Tomb
Chapter 326 Guardian of the Tomb
As Mu Yuyan spoke, the icy chill emanating from her became even more pronounced. A faint glimmer of ice-blue snowflake mark appeared on her brow.
The moment the snowflake mark emerged, the temperature within the entire array space plummeted, and even the evil spirits could feel a chilling sensation piercing deep into their souls.
The transformation upon Mu Yuyan was not yet complete; she was enveloped in swirling ice and snow, her garments billowing around her.
The iridescent fairy skirt shifted in tune with her aura, transitioning from red to blue, resembling a garment crafted from azure ice crystals.
Transformed into an ice and snow fairy, coupled with her innate imperial aura, she exuded a presence that commanded all beings to submit.@@@@
She gazed upon the assembly of evil spirits and softly inquired, "Do you also wish to become my subjects?"
"Chirp chirp!"
Hearing Mu Yuyan's voice, these evil spirits became even more excited!
Gu Lan was utterly baffled! Subjects? What in the world?
However, it seemed that some of the larger evil spirits could comprehend Mu Yuyan's words.
Mimicking the manner of Human Clan subjects bowing to their monarch, some of the larger evil spirits clumsily prostrated themselves before Mu Yuyan.
It was evident that it was their first time kneeling, as their posture was far from neat.
On the sidelines, Gu Lan was left dumbfounded. He couldn't understand the language of the evil spirits but could comprehend Mu Yuyan's words.
"Madam seems to be expanding her dominion in the Immortal Realm!"
"And her transformation is truly breathtaking. It seems that the predecessor of the Snow Clan's holy maiden was also exceptionally beautiful. Coupled with these special effects... hmm, this surpasses that thing from a previous life by tens of thousands of times, doesn't it?"
"Her cultivation even seems to have improved after the transformation, impressive..."
Gu Lan thought with delight. He could discern that the changes in Mu Yuyan were due to the inheritance of the Snow Clan's holy maiden, but he was unaware of the connection between the Snow Clan's holy maiden inheritance and these evil spirits.
Just as the larger evil spirits were kneeling before Mu Yuyan, the other evil spirits behind suddenly parted like a tide, allowing a giant malevolent spirit the size of a small mountain to step into the array.
This colossal malevolent spirit exuded a formidable aura, slightly inferior to Mu Yuyan's, and its strength reached the Emperor Realm! However, the colossal malevolent spirit seemed unsettled, exhibiting a mix of excitement and fear.
Gu Lan silently observed it, puzzled by its intentions.
The Hongmeng Sword suspended beside him trembled slightly, emitting a faint hum.
However, why they were now guarding the remnants of immortal spirits in the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley remained a mystery, something that needed clarification.
"We are guardians of the tomb, tasked with preserving the aura of the tomb master..." The evil spirit king explained.
"I have been slumbering for a long time. If it weren't for sensing the aura of Mu Yuyan, I would have remained asleep. Thus, I am deeply grateful to Mu Yuyan. However, my slumber lasted too long, and I have forgotten many things, even the identity of the tomb master. As a guardian of the tomb, I only need to remember my duty.
I usually guard silently, concealing the tomb master's aura with the malevolent spirit's aura, only appearing when the array formation is under attack."
Listening quietly, Gu Lan finally understood why Chen Feng had been attacked by evil spirits upon entering the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley.
That fellow was just unlucky, banging his head against the array a few times, attracting a malevolent spirit, nearly being devoured by it.
Likewise, the Blissful Immortal Palace's lord and his companion were surrounded by evil spirits because their reckless attacks disrupted the array formation of the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley.
The "holy master" mentioned by the evil spirit king referred to the Snow Clan's holy maiden or holy son of previous generations.
"Although I do not know when the holy master experienced his trials, I can faintly sense that the holy master now possesses the aura of an emperor. By bestowing a strand of dragon aura, the holy master can assist me in breaking free from my shackles and prolonging my lifespan! I implore... the holy master to accept me as a servant!"
As the evil spirit king spoke, its words became increasingly fluent, and its posture of kneeling became more skilled. It did not beat around the bush, directly stating its greatest desire.
"Agreed," Mu Yuyan nodded.
"Monarchs of the mortal realm possess the aura of emperors; the stronger the nation, the richer the emperor's aura. With a strand of emperor's dragon aura, I gain a servant of Emperor Realm. It's an incredibly profitable deal!"
Even Gu Lan, standing by, couldn't help but envy his wife's Destiny.
Moreover, the evil spirit king was originally a guardian spirit of the Snow Clan, always loyal to the Snow Clan's holy maiden, and possessed formidable strength.
With such a powerful being offering itself, there was no reason not to accept it into her ranks.
Seeing Mu Yuyan's agreement, the evil spirit king was overjoyed, and a contract formation spontaneously formed on its forehead.
"The holy master only needs to send a strand of the emperor's dragon aura into the formation to complete the contract. With the contract established, I will forever remain loyal to my master!"
With respectful obeisance, the evil spirit king knelt, and without hesitation, Mu Yuyan pointed her finger, sending a strand of the emperor's dragon aura into the contract formation.
With the contract completed, Mu Yuyan felt a connection between herself and the evil spirit king. In her perception, the evil spirit king was exceedingly loyal.
At the same time, she gained the power to determine its life and death with a single thought.
"Thank you, my master!"
