140: Is the heir of the restricted area a puppet?

The scene before them was still a stretch of yellow sand, but what was different was that there were many black buildings atop this yellow sand.

These black buildings seemed as if they had been haphazardly constructed from scattered rocks.

They lacked any order or aesthetic appeal, making this land of yellow sand appear even more deathly silent and eerie.

They had never seen such buildings before.

Coupled with the fact that the eerie aura in the surroundings was growing increasingly intense, if they still didn't know that this was the depths of the Forbidden Area, then the two of them would truly be idiots.

"What is this?!"

Just at this moment, a change suddenly occurred on both of their bodies.

First, one black hair after another appeared on their arms, and then, those black hairs spread continuously, quickly covering their entire bodies.

This was the eeriness within the Forbidden Area.

"What is this thing?!"

Xiang Tiange grabbed a handful of the black hair and ripped it off violently.

With a tearing sound, a large patch of black hair was forcibly ripped off, and purple blood instantly gushed out.

But even after ripping off the black hair, in the blink of an eye, it would grow back again.

Lin Ye, naturally, also grew these black hairs.

At this moment, the System was also constantly issuing reminders.

Ding-dong...

The host is being invaded by an eerie power...

If one tries to use spiritual power to sever the source of that eeriness, it will only trigger a backlash of even more eerie aura.

This change is irreversible.

The closer they got to the center, the faster the hair on their bodies grew!

Even their fingernails began to grow wildly, just like the creatures they had killed before.

Such an eerie scene did not cause Lin Ye or Xiang Tiange the slightest bit of fear; after all, they had just walked out of that eerie Immortal Palace.

Now, let alone growing black hair on their bodies, it's not like they didn't have it elsewhere... *cough cough*... mere black hair, what is there to fear?!

Just at this moment, a hoarse voice came from behind the two.

"Xiang Tiange, you have come again..."

The two turned to look, and unbeknownst to them, a creature completely enveloped in darkness had appeared on the yellow sand.

His skin was ghastly pale, he wore a black robe, his eyes were lifeless, even his lips lacked any trace of color, and his pupils were filled with deathly silence.

Although he stood there, one could not feel the slightest aura of life from him, as if he were a corpse.

"You have come..."

Xiang Tiange narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the man who had suddenly appeared; there was not the slightest surprise on his face, as if the man's appearance was a matter of course.

Lin Ye sensed the aura on the other party and had already guessed the other's identity.

If he hadn't guessed wrong, this person was the successor of the Forbidden Area.

Swish, swish, swish...

While he was thinking, the sound of air being torn apart rang out, and several figures appeared around the two.

Although these people looked different, they all had ghastly pale skin, lifeless eyes, and their entire bodies were permeated with a sense of deathly silence.

A group of Forbidden Area successors?

Lin Ye was also interested to see these people appear.

He had assumed there should only be one Forbidden Area successor, but he hadn't expected so many to come.

A rough glance showed there were about seven or eight of them.

"Lin Ye, you see that, right?"

Xiang Tiange turned his head and said to Lin Ye, "These bastards have no martial ethics. It was one thing for them to gang up on me last time, but when they couldn't beat me, they called for backup! This time, I must vent my anger properly!"

Hearing Xiang Tiange say this, Lin Ye gave him a strange look.

No, buddy, are you here to find an Opportunity, or are you here to fight and take revenge?

What about the Opportunity? What about the Bao technique? You don't want them anymore, right, you just want to have a fight with them.

Xiang Tiange clearly couldn't care about that much anymore; he loosened the bones all over his body, his eyes filled with Battle Intent as he looked at the Forbidden Area successors.

In contrast, those Forbidden Area successors were incredibly calm; after all, there was no luster in their eyes to begin with, and it was impossible to see what they were thinking.

"Hmm?"

Just at this moment, Lin Ye discovered the crux of the problem: these Forbidden Area successors seemed to be nothing more than "husks."

The reason he called them husks was that, possessing the One Page Scripture, he could naturally sense that they were all Immortal Master Puppets.

Unlike the One Page Scripture and the Du Hua Sutra, these Puppets were likely corpses to begin with, which were then manufactured.

Thinking about it this way, he could understand why they were all identical, with their bodies filled with Death Qi.

Moreover, these husks were all husks that possessed special Physiques, only it seemed their special Physiques had already been extracted by someone.

Xiang Tiange's eyes narrowed, and purple Qi instantly erupted; that purple blood Qi, like a swirling giant wave, directly pierced through the hazy cloud layer.

A massive Immortal Palace appeared above the Void Realm.

Now that he had seen his target, Xiang Tiange naturally wouldn't hold back.

And Lin Ye had no intention of making a move; facing these eight Puppets, Xiang Tiange would certainly have no problems.

What needed to be guarded against was the creature hiding in the shadows.

Boom!!!

The earth shook, and Xiang Tiange stepped out, charging towards the eight Puppets. The Puppets naturally wouldn't sit and wait for death; they extended their hands, and countless eerie intents of decay erupted from their sleeves.

Clang!!!

The sound of metal colliding rang out.

The Immortal Palace above the Void Realm had descended, blocking the spreading decay and the sneak attacks from several of them.

Looking out, three stood in front of Xiang Tiange, three were behind him, and the remaining two were on his left and right.

Eight people directly surrounded him.

In front, three stood side by side; one had a pitch-black cauldron suspended above their head, another had a black spear suspended above their head, and as for the person in the middle, they were holding a black Spirit Sword.

The three had the same expression, and then they fiercely rushed towards Xiang Tiange.

At the same time, those from behind and from the left and right sides also attacked simultaneously.

These people had absolutely no need for verbal or eye communication; after all, they were Puppets, and even their thoughts were the same.

The cauldron smashed fiercely towards the Immortal Palace, and the spear, Spirit Sword, broadsword, and many other Magic Treasures also launched attacks in coordination at the very first moment.

An invisible pressure descended; the mere residual power emitted by those Magic Treasures had already caused the ground to crack open and scattered rocks to fly into the air.

This was an astonishing display of might!

Eight people attacked simultaneously, with remarkable coordination; as long as the opponent had the slightest flaw, they would surely perish.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Tiange was not alarmed but delighted.

This was the kind of battle he had been waiting for!

Now with Lin Ye holding the field for him, he naturally had no scruples.

With the purple Immortal Palace above his head and his feet planted on the vast yellow sand, he stood immovable. The purple radiance protected him and the ground beneath his feet, shielding them from any impact.

But defense was not his style.

Only hearing Xiang Tiange give a loud shout, his purple hand struck out again, and the purple blood Qi surged and rushed like a vast ocean, swatting away the many Magic Treasures that were attacking.
