Chapter 541: Chapter 248 Longmen Sect Third Jing

Hundred Demons turned, fixating on one spot.

Pairs of ghastly eyes suddenly ignited a dismal green flame.

In that instant, it seemed as if all the demons in the hall had come to life!

Statues already grotesque in appearance were now infinitely suffused with ghostly energy.

The next moment, the light from their eyes shot out, converging at a point in the center of the great hall.

Beams of light scattered in all directions, and where they touched, copper mirrors were high up.

The reflections simultaneously lit up every corner of the room.

A cracking noise then rose, and suddenly a section of the building emerged from the ground.

Merely moments later, a portal appeared out of nowhere.

On either side of this portal stood two statues, one black and one white.

They were precisely Black and White Impermanence.

Lit by the eerie green flames, Black and White Impermanence appeared even more sinister.

And the portal they guarded seemed just like the legendary Ghost Gate.

Su Mo peered inside and saw winding stairs, yet it was unknown where they led.

He finally shook his head lightly:

“I got it wrong, it should be Oxhead and Horseface guarding the gates of the underworld.

“People from Youquan Sect really don’t read.”

He didn’t care to correct their mistake and started stepping down.

Initially, he had thought about taking a ghost’s head or something, using the splendor in their eyes to light his path.

But then, he reconsidered and abandoned the idea.

Up to now, there wasn’t a single patrolling person in this territory.

Although Night Lord’s attack tonight drew some attention,

It also suggested from another perspective that these statues might very well be part of the defenses.

Just now, after he finished photographing the relief of Big Head Ghost, a careful inspection revealed that each evil ghost on that relief panel was a mechanism.

If touched recklessly, from the posture of these Hundred Demons’ turning, it might not be merely opening the gate for Su Mo.

It could be sending Su Mo to the real Ghost Gate.

Under such circumstances, rashly moving those statues was clearly unwise for the intelligent.

Fear aside, it was simply too troublesome…

He didn’t know how long he had been descending the steps, only that the deeper he went, the darker it became.

The staircase he was on had a round column in the middle.

The gaps in the column were not tight, with strands of fresh blood seeping through them.

And the further down he went, the more blood seeped out.

Flowing down through the stone cracks, making the steps underneath muddy and slippery.

He walked for an unknown length of time, feeling as if he was truly entering Hell.

Su Mo finally walked out of that portal.

The portal guarded by the Hundred Demons above his head had long since fallen.

Looking back, he speculated that if he couldn’t find the mechanism to exit, it would take a miracle from Da Li.

Looking ahead, it was pitch black, invisible to the hand.

Even with Su Mo’s eyesight, it was not easy to completely discern everything in here.

Only vague silhouettes, as if mountains were looming.

He simply took out a Fire Stick from his bosom and lit it.

At the rise of the flame, even Su Mo couldn’t help but have his pupils constrict momentarily.

Human bones!

Mountains of human bones laid out the path.

Everywhere he looked, there were human bones!

Since having contact with these Demon Sects, Su Mo considered himself as someone who had seen a wide range of horrors.

Things like splitting bellies open, gouging out the heart’s hot blood.

Things like skinning to make clothes, playing tricks with shadows.

One could say he had seen it all.

Youquan Sect master’s White Jade Chariot appeared to be made of white jade but was actually crafted from human bones.

However, the chariot used leg bones, polished so brightly they could reflect like jade, interwoven beautifully and luxuriously.

At first glance, it even possessed an indescribable demonic allure.

But the visions before him were different.

Scenes of grim, somber skeletons, with many poisonous insects scurrying busy among them.

Wherever they passed, an aura of gloomy death lingered.

Looking down, he even saw fresh blood flowing underneath the skeletons, though it was already indistinguishable.

It seemed as if the entire space was a vast Blood Pond.

So many skeletons overlaid that they concealed the original visage.

Su Mo slightly furrowed his brow, and doubts rose in his heart:

“Could it be that within this underground cave, some mutant beast is imprisoned?”

Theoretically, that shouldn’t be the case.

Some time ago, Su Mo in the Qianshi Pavilion of Ziyang Sect searched for the truth about Zhen Xiaoxiao’s Whale Swallowing Skill, perusing numerous volumes.

Although it was a brief overview, with his eyesight and memory, he indeed broadened his knowledge.

No creature beyond the norm existed in this world.

The mutant beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas didn’t exist anywhere.

Could it be that Youquan Sect had actually brought out such a creature from somewhere?

He gently shook his head, feeling it was unlikely.

Without further pondering, he directly continued forward.

But soon, Su Mo stopped in his tracks.

Because in front of him, there appeared a chessboard.

Under the light of the Fire Stick, he could see a grid of ten by nineteen lines marked with leg bones.

This was an immense chessboard made of white bones.

There were also pieces on the board.

The black and white pieces corresponded to skull and pelvis bones, respectively.

Inserting these two types of pieces, Su Mo looked at the chessboard again, his brow deeply furrowed.

He only felt that the board was crisscrossed, brimming with murderous energy.
