第两千四百八十五章 相煎何太急

Chapter 2485: Why Are You In Such A Hurry to Boil the Soup?

In just a few breaths, the feeling was as if it had stretched into eternity. Finally, the gale dissipated, and the lingering explosion's effects slowly faded away.

"Phew!"

The elderly man with the surname Fan exhaled in relief. His face was deathly pale; he had indeed been in grave danger just now, nearly capsizing in a ditch. This young Lin would rather shatter than survive.

The old woman with white hair also looked relieved, her expression filled with gratitude. Although this young Lin's strength wasn't impressive, he was still an Immortal of the Profound Yin Realm. The destructive power of self-explosion in such a confined stone room was no laughing matter.

Fortunately, they had survived. Otherwise, dying here for no reason would have been too unjust.

This could be considered a miraculous escape.

However, something strange caught their attention.

Lin Xuan's self-explosion had been incredibly powerful, but the small stone chamber remained intact as if nothing had happened. The stone pillars in the center of the room were still standing without any damage or movement.

How was this possible?

"Such a simple stone room, how could it be so sturdy?" the old woman muttered, her face filled with shock.

"Hmph, there's nothing impossible about that. If not for the unique restrictions at the entrance of the Immortal of Profound Yin's den, I would have taken the treasure long ago without all this trouble," the elderly man with the surname Fan said, his face darkening.

"Indeed, but what kind of restriction is it? Are you certain you understand it completely, Senior Brother?" the old woman asked slowly.

"If I didn't have absolute confidence, I wouldn’t have prepared for this journey."

The elderly man refocused on the stone pillars and sighed. "Long ago, I accidentally discovered the den of the Immortal of Profound Yin but returned empty-handed. Later, after countless scrolls, I finally deciphered the blocking restrictions, which are the long-lost 'Mysterious Yin Demon Prohibition' from the魔道."

"What? Mysterious Yin Demon Prohibition? That's one of the most famous three prohibitions in ancient magic. How could it be here? The Immortal of Profound Yin practices natural immortality techniques," the old woman's face changed, showing surprise.

"Senior Sister, you're overthinking this. I said, with absolute confidence, there’s no way I would misread these restrictions. As for why a Druid like the Immortal of Profound Yin knows demon prohibitions, I don’t know either." The elderly man muttered: "All that matters is breaking this prohibition."

"Senior Brother makes sense. You must have found a solution by studying scrolls; it's related to an immortal’s元婴. Otherwise, how could you attack those people who are connected to us?" the old woman, half-closed eyes, waited for his explanation.

"Indeed, I spent countless efforts and finally found a way to remove the Mysterious Yin Demon Prohibition. This prohibition is incredibly complex and powerful. Using brute force would be possible but would take years, even for an Immortal of Profound Yin or a Great Sage in the 分神 Realm."

"But we are deep in the Frost Soul Ice Plain; any delay could lead to discovery by the demon tribes. Therefore, brute force isn’t feasible. However, with four元婴 from Immortals above the Profound Yin Realm, performing a blood sacrifice can remove this prohibition within half an hour," the elderly man with the surname Fan said viciously.

"Ah, I see."

The old woman finally understood the entire situation. Initially, she had cooperated with the elderly man but was still confused about everything. Now all the mysteries were revealed.

However, her face soon turned grim: "But Lin Xuan has already self-destructed; we need one more元婴. What should we do now?"

"Ah…" The elderly man with the surname Fan rubbed his forehead and looked puzzled. "There's a way out. We just need to think creatively."

"How can we change things?"

Hearing that there was still a method to break this terrifying prohibition, the old woman couldn't help but feel elated. They had taken great risks on this journey; she didn’t want to leave empty-handed.

"Hey…"

Just then, the elderly man with the surname Fan opened his mouth in surprise and stared at something behind him.

"What's wrong?"

The old woman was startled, thinking there might be danger or something amiss. She followed his gaze.

A mocking expression flashed across the elderly man’s face as he revealed a dimly glowing immortal sword that flew out, slicing off the old woman's head with a flash.

Next, a small元婴 about an inch high appeared. However, it was still in a daze, seemingly unaware of what had happened.

The elderly man with the surname Fan wasn’t idle; he waved his sleeve and summoned another heavenly net, binding the元婴. The old woman became a caged bird, unable to escape.

"Why?"

The元婴’s eyes turned bloodshot, and her sharp voice echoed. She finally realized what was happening.

"Why? Isn't this obvious?" the elderly man with the surname Fan said nonchalantly: "Senior Sister, you're too naive. Lin Xuan self-destructed; we need one more元婴 to remove the prohibition. Taking your元婴 will complete it soon."

"But… I'm your senior sister!" The old woman's voice was like a broken hearted bird: "We have studied under our master for thousands of years…"

"Hmph, so what?"

The elderly man with the surname Fan’s face showed disdain: "Senior Sister, you're naive. Ascending to immortality is against nature; without good fortune and resources, it's impossible. The more resources one has, the closer they are to eternal life. Our bond means nothing."

"I will get the Immortal of Profound Yin's legacy. With the demon tribes changing in the Frost Soul Ice Plain, I can’t afford to miss this opportunity or risk waiting for another chance; do you think I would be so foolish? So, I have no choice but to inconvenience Senior Sister," the elderly man with the surname Fan said shamelessly.

"You…" The元婴 was speechless from anger. After a moment, she shouted: "Fine, my good senior brother. But there will be retribution for your evil deeds."
