Chapter 936 - The Inner Kingdom: Secret Hiding Place (2)

Chapter 936

(Unedited)

…

Within the thick thickets of the lush forest, Yao Linlin and the middle-aged man came upon a tall mountain wall that stretches further to the clouds. One could tell that this place is the side of a cliff that is very high.

Yao Linlin extended her dainty little hands and as her palm touches the cold stone wall, a small entrance appears before her eyes.

She walks to the mouth of the small entrance when she suddenly heard something moving from the bushes around them.

She turned her gaze to the bushes as a frown escaped her beautiful face.

The atmosphere becomes heavy as she waited while standing calmly with the middle-aged uncle standing next to her.

Both of them are expressionless and just stare at the darkness.

Then four tall and burly men wearing leather armors walk out of the thick bushes with sly and angry grins on their faces.

The two who fought against the middle-aged uncle have the expression as if they wanted to eat the middle-aged uncle alive.

"So there is a secret place in this part of the forest. Hehe… I wonder what can we get inside this place…" a tall bearded man said while looking at the silver-haired woman and the middle-aged man.

"Let's finish that old man first, then get that woman. I want her to suffer the same humiliation as I have suffered!…" The man who was beaten by the middle-aged uncle shouted.

With a hint of disdain on her beautiful face, Yao Linlin did not say anything and just looks at the entrance.

"Finish them, then follow me inside…" she said as she walks inside the hole.

The middle-aged uncle just nodded his head and then looks at the four burly men. He showed no reaction on his face, but his body suddenly went to a fighting stance.

The four burly men were alarmed and quickly spread around the place as they encircle the middle-aged man.

Unknown to them a figure is watching Yao Linlin from within the shadows when she moved, that person also moved.

Meanwhile, Yao Linlin walks through the small passageway going spiraling towards an underground cavern.  The dark passageway is only illuminated by a few moonstones which show the spiraling path.

Soon she reached a dead end. She lifted his right hand and touches the wall in front of her. It rippled and then another passage opens up. At the end of that passage is a wide cavern where an old man is sitting cross-legged. Behind the old man are two statues that look like they are statues of two gods.

One is a beautiful young woman and the other is a handsome young man and both of them look like powerful beings.

From one looks one could tell that these two statues are the god of light Agus and the god of dark Ruel. They are both seemed to be looking at the old man who is sitting cross-legged on the floor. It was as if they are giving their blessing to the old man.

The old man, on the other hand, has a decrepit body that looks as if he is about to die and is slowly decaying. His skin seems to be decaying and there seems to be no flesh inside that thin skin that seems to stick on his bones.

Around the old man is a dark aura that could make someone who could see him feel eerie and strange.

When the figure of Yao Linlin appears in the passage, the moving dark aura suddenly seems to have been startled and began to form into a huge face of an old man.

"You have come just right in time… I could not wait anymore… I need to return, or else the power of the god Ruel will be given to another. If that happens then my hard work would be for naught!" said the face in a raspy eerie tone.

Yao Linlin did not reply and just walked towards the old man. As she drew near, she slowly removes her cloak and then the rest of her clothing. Her bare body was exposed in the air as she walks near the cross-legged old man.

The old man did not move but instead, the aura of a face began checking the bare body of a young woman.

"This body is exquisite… but it is that of a female. Tsk… Tsk… What a letdown… This could have been a perfect vessel for Agus. But her soul is already awake… But once I awaken, I will find her and my perfect bride would be her, the god of light Agus… Hihi… Hahaha…"

Suddenly from within the shadows, a figure immerges.

"That would be incest… A brother could not marry his own sister, right?" Shin Jiao suddenly said with a slight smile on his face.

When the dark aura heard this, its huge face changes its expression.

"You… how did you? How could you enter this place without my notice? This is impossible!" shouted the dark shadow in anger.

"I have my ways… Hmm… From your aura, I could tell… and I guess you also have noticed that you have already noticed that you are the previous god of darkness Ruel." Shin Jiao said as he stood by the wall and folded his arms as if watching a play.

When the dark aura saw this, he immediately knew that this guy is here to see what he is about to do next. But he needs to confirm that this guy would not interfere, if not, then he could just escape once again.

"What do you want?" he said with a frown.

"Well, my name is Shin Jiao. I am from the immortal land and I fell in this small world… I have learned of the circumstance of the brothers and sisters, Agus and Ruel. I have promised their pet, the elemental dragon Baldrix to free his masters from this world." Shin Jiao explained.

When the dark aura heard this, he immediately frowns. This is because that is not what he has learned from his stay in this world for nearly a century.

As his awareness grew, he learned of the secret of this world and accidentally found the real body of both of the gods. But he could not enter such a place with his current strength. He has learned through researching that to enter such a place, he has to have a body that could withstand the tearing of the space. And he could only do that if he reaches the body that is above the Grand Magus. In the records, many called this body the nascent body of an immortal.

Many from the immortal land told about this after they were interrogated by the mages and this is recorded in the annals of history.

He was so close to finding out the truth, but his body is far too weak and he has suffered from some grievous wounds in the war. He has no choice but to retreat and try to recover. But that did not happen. Instead, he slowly withered like a dying plant.

That was until he discovered the bacteria that would suck the life force of others. His research ended up getting perfect, but he was already at the end of his life. He has no other choice but to let go of his body temporarily and became a parasite.

And from then on, he lives as the shadow that controls people, the shadow and influence of the Dark Grand Magus Gan Warbread.

Among the dark mages, many have claimed that they have the power of the dark god Ruel. They might even think that they are the dark god. But, only someone with such a powerful soul could be the dark god, and that is him Gan Warbread.

However, right at this moment, he seems to have learned some truth about himself. The goddess is not his partner, but his own sister. While thinking about this part, it seems that he could not believe such a thing.

He looks at the middle-aged-looking man and then frowns.

"You said that you came from the immortal land… But how come that you have aged to such?" Gan Warbread asked while glaring at Shin Jiao.

"Oh, you mean this? I don't know… I guess, this I because of what has happened in the immortal land before coming to this place. A part of my lifespan was… absorbed." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

He did not want to explain, but he just let this person knew something so that their conversation would lengthen. As of this moment, he is already using his divine sense to scan every inch of the whole room. Everything inside this was already scanned by him everything except those two statues.

This is because his divine sense could not penetrate those statues which seem to be made of unique materials which he has never seen before or even found even in the immortal land.

"If my conjecture is correct, within those statues are the things I am looking for.." Shin Jiao thought as a radical idea came to his mind.
