The Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron

Chapter 1916 1811, Dark King’s Arrival

Feeling anxious, Su Yu immediately dashed into the cave.

As soon as he entered, the powerful power of faith rushed at him, greatly weakening his senses. He could only see everything clearly with his naked eyes.

Wang Dahu followed closely behind and said, “This is also my first time entering this place. Please be careful.”

Dark King’s cultivation place was not big. It was an empty cave that was thousands of feet square. There were only a few simple decorations and a holy pond that had dried up the power of faith until only a thin layer was left.

Just like the moon worship sect’s spiritual pond of faith, the Holy Pond was also where the power of faith was stored.

What made Su Yu’s face sink was that this place had obviously been turned over by someone. The cushions, tables, chairs, furnishings, and other things that were used for meditation had all been moved by someone. It was obvious that the person who had broken the seal had already searched the place.

Su Yu flashed over and searched quickly. A moment later, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

There was no trace of the scabbard.

If the Dark King did not carry it with him, then it should have been taken away by the first person who came in.

Who Was It?

To be able to break the seal of the four crowns without anyone knowing, this person must be very impressive.

Could it be that after countless years of hard work, it was all for nothing in the end?

“There seems to be another world under this pool.”It was unknown when the little qilin jumped to the edge of the spirit pool. He opened his purple crystal-like eyes and looked curiously at the bottom of the pool.

A trap?

Su Yu flew over. With a thought, he used his divine power to separate the thin layer of liquid power of faith. Surprisingly, he discovered that there was actually a dark tunnel at the bottom of the pool that extended deep underground.

However, there was a layer of seal blocking the underground entrance, so the power of faith did not flow down.

Their perception was severely affected by the power of faith. Only the little qilin, who had the power of nothingness, was not affected much.

Wang Dahu was surprised. “I’ve never heard that there’s another universe under the Holy Pond!”

Su Yu was deep in thought. He lifted the tip of his sword and found that this layer of seal was only used to isolate the power of faith and prevent it from flowing into the underground passage. It could not be opened.

With a casual lift, the seal was opened.

“Let’s go down and take a look.”Su Yu entered in a flash, with Wang Dahu and the little qilin following behind.

Following the underground passage, they arrived at the lava-filled underground in a few breaths.

In the rolling hot lava, there was actually a cross stuck in the lava.

On top of it was a mass of flesh and blood.

It was called a mass of flesh because his entire body could no longer be seen clearly. All that was left was a smelly, blurry, pitch-black mass of flesh.

However, his body was emitting a terrifying and powerful aura!

The four-crowned King!

Su Yu’s pupils constricted slightly, and he immediately became vigilant.

Wang dahu sized him up in surprise and said in confusion, “Could it be that he’s the four-crowned king from the outer realm who broke into the dark star civilization back then?”

It was rumored that the Dark King had defeated the intruder and suppressed him under the sacred mountain.

Every full moon, he would emit a shrill scream that spread throughout the sacred mountain.

Su Yu had heard this rumor countless times.

He did not expect it to be true!

“Strange, why didn’t the Dark King Kill Him?”Su Yu touched his chin and immediately threw the question to the back of his mind. He looked around for the scabbard.

If there was no scabbard here, it would be impossible to find it again.

Suddenly, Little Qilin’s sharp eyes noticed that the cross had pierced into an empty scabbard.

Only a sliver of it was exposed. If it wasn’t for the Little Qilin’s sharp eyes, Su Yu wouldn’t have noticed it.

“Scabbard!”Su Yu’s eyes were filled with ecstasy.

The heavens did not disappoint those who had the heart. The scabbard had finally been found!

However, he then began to think deeply.

It seemed that the person who had barged into the sacred pool had not discovered this hidden underground chamber.

While thinking, Su Yu walked towards the cross and was about to retrieve the scabbard.

Suddenly, the little qilin’s four claws scratched the ground uneasily. Its entire body tensed up as it stared at the entrance where they came from. It growled, “Someone is here. Someone very, very powerful.”

The power of faith did not block its senses. It discovered that a powerful aura had appeared in the sacred pool above.

Su Yu and Wang Dahu’s expressions changed drastically.

At this moment, who else but the dark king could appear in the sacred pool?

“Oh no, the Dark King came back early!”Wang Dahu was shocked. “How could this be? Why did the Dark King come back early? He should have just started to receive the tribal leaders!”

But no matter what, they were completely finished!

The sacred pool was in a mess. The Dark King must have known that he was furious and would definitely come to this place below the sacred pool to investigate.

They had entered the tiger’s den, but they were blocked by the tiger that had returned home.

“Come to my side quickly.”The little qilin jumped onto Su Yu’s shoulder and said to Wang Dahu.

Wang Dahu did not notice at this time and immediately rushed over.

Without saying anything, the little qilin shot out an extremely dangerous force of nothingness from its body and turned into a ball with a diameter of ten feet. It wrapped itself around it, Su Yu, and Wang Dahu.

Behind its ear, the little qilin said, “Quick, jump into the lava.”

The two humans and one beast quickly entered the lava.

With the isolation of the power of nothingness, the auras that could not be detected by outsiders were not too much of a problem as long as they did not reveal themselves.

Almost at that moment, a middle-aged man in armor that was covered in cold light walked out from the dark underground entrance.

His hair was dark red and his eyes were yellow, containing a domineering divine light that looked down on the world.

He stood at the entrance with his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed as he looked around.

When he found that the flesh and blood on the cross was still intact, he was slightly relieved.

“Humph, how dare you intrude into this king’s forbidden area of cultivation while I’m not here.”He was undoubtedly the dark king.

With his hands behind his back, he walked to the cross. The Dark King glanced at the scabbard embedded on the cross and said indifferently, “Are you going to tell me the secret of the scabbard or not?”

The meatball squirmed a little. It was actually still alive.

“Ha... ha... don’t even think about it!”The meatball replied weakly.

The Dark King snorted coldly and said, “Then you shall continue to stay here and endure torture every day until you are willing to say it!”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Su Yu and the other two in the lava saw everything clearly.

Wang Dahu said telepathically, “The scabbard you are looking for is indeed the scabbard in the cross, but why didn’t Dark King Take it away? and he even said that there is a secret?”

Su Yu was also surprised. He had not heard any inside information about the secret of the scabbard from Gu Xing’s dream.

Perhaps, even Gu Xing did not know about it.

“Perhaps,”Su Yu said calmly.

Wang Dahu said, “Then what are we waiting for? Quickly take the scabbard and wait for the Dark King to return to the temple to meet the tribal leaders. Then, we can take the opportunity to leave the sacred pool. Otherwise, we will be trapped here for the rest of our lives.”

Su Yu did not change his expression. He even pressed his shoulder and said leisurely, “Don’t you find it strange that the Dark King came back earlier?”

There was only one answer. He knew that someone would break into the sacred pool when he was leaving.

So, the dark king probably didn’t leave..

At this moment, an unexpected scene appeared.

Not far away from them, in the lava, a figure stealthily rushed out.

He had a refined temperament, but only one eye.

Who was this person? It was obvious.

The great leader of the Wolf Smoke Tribe!

He had actually snuck into the dark king’s forbidden cultivation area!

The Great Leader came to the meatball and said anxiously, “Tell Me the secret of the scabbard and I’ll save you immediately!”

As expected, he had come for the scabbard.

The meatball wriggled but did not respond.

At this moment, a cold voice came from the shadow at the entrance.

“He is indeed hiding in the lava.”

A majestic figure stepped out of the shadow. Who else could it be but the dark king?

He did not leave at all!

The leader’s pupils contracted and his body stiffened.
