The Beautiful CEO’s Super Soldier King

Chapter 1891: The Mastermind Behind the Dark Era

"What?"

Qie Gewala was taken aback, looking at Ye Chenfeng in disbelief.

"We’ve already observed just now; there’s no secret within the tomb chamber, and both front and back passages are sealed off. Adding that it’s impossible below, the secret must be above!"

Ye Chenfeng explained.

Qie Gewala was startled: "Could it be that we’re still in a secondary tomb chamber, and the main chamber is on the layer above?"

Ye Chenfeng suddenly sprang into action, punching towards the dome.

With a "crack" sound, Ye Chenfeng easily smashed a passage through the dome with one punch.

"Retreat!"

In the next moment, Ye Chenfeng and Qie Gewala disappeared into the passage together.

"Boom!"

The passage immediately closed, and the God-binding Net, impacted by external force, rapidly contracted, sticking tightly to the passage opening.

"Chase!"

Lu Yunting and his group immediately reacted, soaring into the sky.

But the passage was already protected by the God-binding Net, they couldn’t tear it apart at all, and for the moment, could only sigh in frustration.

"Leave this to me!"

The Ghost Rakshasa from Hell spoke, transforming into a bolt of lightning, beginning to strike the God-binding Net.

Lu Yunting and his group began observing within the tomb chamber.

Since the tomb had already been excavated by Ye Chenfeng, they could clearly see the scene inside.

Upon seeing the sect leader of the Ghost Gu Sect seated in the final stone coffin, Lu Yunting couldn’t help but say with relief: "It seems the rumors of the Ghost Gu Sect leader’s death are not false. The Ghost Gu Sect members still lured Young Master Zhao here, probably to send him to his death."

The Four Absolute Divine Soldiers nodded: "It was rumored that during the Dark Era, the Ghost Gu Sect leader had already died in the Capital City. Initially, it was thought he might survive, but it turned out he was indeed dead."

"Yes, I had hopes the Ghost Gu Sect leader was still alive so we could know exactly what happened during the Dark Era. But it turns out he’s truly dead."

Lu Yunting sighed.

The Four Absolute Divine Soldiers couldn’t help but ask: "Is Young Master Zhao’s goal the same as ours?"

Ye Chenfeng and Qie Gewala entered the upper tomb chamber, their expressions quite normal.

Because they finally saw a normal tomb chamber, and it was like a secret room containing some ancient books and other treasures of the Ghost Gu Sect.

But what was most shocking was a Sacrificial Altar at the center of the tomb chamber, a gigantic circular structure, with trenches constructed around it, connecting to the altar.

In each trench, there were crimson traces of blood, though a long time had passed, the traces still remained.

Most notably, at the center of the Sacrificial Altar was a corpse, tied with nine ropes, leading straight up to the top.

The corpse’s flesh had long dried up, and in some places, white bones were exposed, clearly showing the ropes directly piercing through the bones.

There were also various magic artifacts around, presumably used to activate this formation.

"What is this?"

Qie Gewala couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

"I think this must be related to why there’s no one in the tomb below."

Ye Chenfeng said calmly.

While Qie Gewala was still studying the Sacrificial Altar, Ye Chenfeng moved to the side, browsing through the ancient books of the Ghost Gu Sect.

One of the ancient books, the Secret Manual of the Ghost Gu Sect, caught his attention, and he quickly skimmed through it.

The content of the ancient book roughly introduced the history of the Ghost Gu Sect, and when Ye Chenfeng reached a certain part, his face was full of disbelief.

Because it recorded why the tombs of all the sect leaders of the Ghost Gu Sect were empty, the reason being that ten people were actually the same person.

But the specifics weren’t mentioned further in the ancient book.

Ye Chenfeng furrowed his brow, pondering the Ghost Gu Sect’s reasons for doing so, hypothesizing two possible purposes.

First, to achieve immortality in this way. Second, to cultivate some evil techniques.

Upon reaching the end, Ye Chenfeng finally found the content he was looking for.

Indeed, the Ghost Gu Sect leader participated in the Dark Era in the Capital City.

Using the strongest Gu Poison Heaven Extinguishing Curse Killing, they exterminated thousands to create the most powerful and undying monster.

Ye Chenfeng immediately thought of how the monsters from the Dark Era and the ones he brought back were created using various secret techniques, with the Gu poison of the Ghost Gu Sect being just one of them.

The ancient book further mentioned—

Creating the Dark Era wasn’t done by an organization, but by a single person.

That was a powerful existence; as long as he commanded, countless forces willingly served him, including the Ghost Gu Sect leader.

Additionally, the ancient book noted that even the Four Great Royal Families and the Hidden World Cultivation Association were under this person’s control.

The whole Four Great Royal Families are under control?

This was beyond Ye Chenfeng’s expectations, though he didn’t find it strange that the Hidden World Cultivation Association was involved.

But the entire Four Great Royal Families being controlled illustrated just how powerful this person was.

"Hm?"

Upon seeing the last line, Ye Chenfeng was greatly surprised.

The ancient book mentioned that the Ghost Gu Sect leader suspected that person came from a place called the Lost Kingdom: the World’s End.

Ye Chenfeng quickly connected this to what Lu Yunting said, suspecting he also thought he came from the World’s End.

"Qie Gewala, do you know about the World’s End?"

Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but ask.

Qie Gewala was initially stunned, then nodded: "I know a little, it seems that the World’s End is inhabited by beings not belonging to this world, possessing Immortal God legacies. It’s said that the War God of the Divine Land, Feng Wuqing, encountered them."

"Such things exist, you really know quite a bit."

Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but remark.

Qie Gewala smiled: "I’ve just heard it from ancestors, Young Master Zhao, you can probably understand the World’s End as similar to an immortal land where gods reside. They’re just different, and I thought Young Master Zhao might also be from the World’s End."

Ye Chenfeng furrowed his brows, considering the possibility that his father, Ye Chenfu, might have come from the World’s End.

Various signs indicated that his constitution and other aspects were indeed different from ordinary people.

The possibility of hailing from the World’s End was significant.

Calling the World’s End the dwelling of immortal gods seemed exaggerated.

In Ye Chenfeng’s view, at most it seemed similar to the Land of the Gods, a realm of self-proclaimed gods.

After asking, Ye Chenfeng continued focusing on the ancient book, becoming shocked with cold sweat as he read through its content.

Because he discovered a stunning secret, enough to shock him to the core.

For a moment, Ye Chenfeng broke into a cold sweat.

The content roughly indicated that once the goal was achieved, this person killed everyone involved in the project.

It could be said that no one who truly knew the real secret of the Dark Era survived.

The Ghost Gu Sect leader was no exception; he too faced assassination.

Moreover, the Ghost Gu Sect leader was no match for that person, also getting executed on the spot.

The ancient book recorded: "No matter how hard you try, you would never have expected that I had long cast a secret technique, allowing me to survive. Therefore, I am the only one who knows your secret and the only one who has seen it."

Upon seeing that person’s name, Ye Chenfeng felt as though he was struck by lightning.
