Chapter 831: The First Glimpse of the Demon Shadow

"If I were you, I wouldn't do something so foolish as to provoke Brother Ye."

Just as Wang Shi was about to make a move, a voice sounded behind him. Turning around, he saw Sheng Jun.

Wang Shi's face darkened. "Sheng Jun, what do you mean by this?"

"Don't blame me for not warning you. If you underestimate Brother Ye because he's at the Boundless Realm, you'll suffer a great loss!" Sheng Jun said coolly.

"Hmph! The Boundless Realm is just the Boundless Realm. Can he turn the world upside down?"

If one hadn't seen Ye Yuan's strength with their own eyes, it would be hard to imagine.

Ye Yuan's performance that day had already convinced Sheng Jun. In his eyes, Ye Yuan was qualified to stand on equal footing with them, the young masters.

"No need for more words. You'll naturally learn of Brother Ye's strength after entering the Burial Ground. For now, it's best not to cause trouble. Once inside, you'll understand Brother Ye's good intentions. Having all of you join was a necessity." Sheng Jun said.

Wang Shi shot Sheng Jun a fierce glare and snorted, "Hmph! I'll settle this score with you later!"

With that, Wang Shi turned and left directly.

"Thank you, Brother Sheng, for helping me out!" Ye Yuan cupped his hands and smiled.

"Heh, Brother Ye is too modest. With your strength, Wang Shi couldn't do anything to you. I just didn't want any complications before entering the Burial Ground, so I went ahead and intervened." Sheng Jun returned a smile.

Ye Yuan nodded, indicating he understood.

"Brother Ye, the seven holy lands have all gathered. What should we do now? It's still daytime, and the Burial Ground has disappeared. How do we get in?" Hua Shujie also came up to ask.

Ye Yuan said, "First, gather everyone together."

After some summoning, over a hundred people gathered around.

Ye Yuan took out several glass beads from his storage ring and tossed them into the air. He casually struck out a few attacks, shattering the beads directly.

Milky-white powder drifted down like snow, enveloping the hundred-plus people.

Wei Cheng's expression changed. "Ye Yuan, what are you up to!"

With that, he moved to avoid the powder.

The others reacted similarly, all fearing that Ye Yuan was up to some trick.

"Anyone who wants to face the zombies alone can leave now. I won't stop you."

One sentence froze everyone in place.

Ye Yuan swept his gaze over the crowd and said calmly, "This substance is called Agarwood Powder. It has a strong corrosive effect on zombies and is something they greatly fear. Cover yourselves with it, and the zombies will actively avoid you."

"It's actually Agarwood Powder! I've heard it's extremely difficult to refine. I didn't expect Chixia to have such a good thing!"

"I've heard of it too. Zombies below the fifth rank dissolve upon contact. It's practically a nemesis to zombies! I've also heard there are higher-grade Agarwood Powders that even Corpse Venerables and Corpse Emperors greatly fear!"

"Excellent! Now that we're entering the Burial Ground, we have an extra layer of protection!"

These were all elders, well-traveled and knowledgeable. Some, upon hearing it was Agarwood Powder, were overjoyed.

To enter the Burial Ground, Ye Yuan had made ample preparations over the past few days, and Agarwood Powder was one of them.

There were too many zombies inside. If they killed them one by one, they would exhaust themselves before finishing.

To conserve Yuan Power, it was naturally better to avoid these zombies.

Besides that, Ye Yuan had also refined a large number of useful pills.

With the support of the Chixia Holy Land, Ye Yuan had the resources to refine these things.

In no time, the Agarwood Powder settled, covering everyone with a layer.

Everyone was extremely grateful for Ye Yuan's method.

After doing this, Ye Yuan flew into the air, overlooking the plain, a contemplative look in his eyes.

"Hmph! Putting on a show! If the Burial Ground could be found during the day, it would have been discovered before the corpse tide broke out!" Wei Cheng said disdainfully.

Just then, several small flags suddenly appeared in Ye Yuan's hand.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

In an instant, Ye Yuan shot out all the flags in his hand, planting them in various directions.

Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, a hole several zhang wide suddenly appeared on the ground, leading straight underground!

"This... how did he do it? Is there a great formation here? But I didn't sense anything!" an elder at the Formless Realm exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother Ye, how did you manage that? I thought we'd have to wait until night and fight a great battle with the zombies!" Sheng Jun said in astonishment.

Ye Yuan smiled. "I noticed that day that there seems to be an ancient great formation here, extremely powerful! The Burial Ground should have always existed, but because of this ancient formation's concealment, it became a plain. If I'm not mistaken, this ancient formation must have loosened, causing the Yin-Sha Qi to leak out and the zombies to run rampant. The Burial Ground also appears at night when Yin Qi is strongest."

Sheng Jun was startled. They had all killed zombies together with Ye Yuan, yet Ye Yuan had noticed so much and even figured out a way to break through.

This Ye Yuan was truly remarkable—he was even proficient in formations!

Ye Yuan's technique had clearly opened a gap in the great formation, leading straight to the Burial Ground.

"Brother Ye, your methods are truly impressive. I am humbled!" Sheng Jun praised sincerely.

Ye Yuan smiled. "Brother Sheng flatters me. This formation concealing the Burial Ground should only be an outer perimeter formation. After countless years of consumption, its power has greatly diminished. Otherwise, with my meager strength, I wouldn't be able to break it."

Ye Yuan made it sound simple, but opening a gap in this formation was not something an ordinary person could do.

This great formation was extremely profound, perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment, making it very difficult to detect.

If Ye Yuan hadn't comprehended the "Three Volumes of Formations," he probably wouldn't have been able to break it.

That day, Ye Yuan had sensed the formation. After returning, he prepared several formation flags for today's purpose of breaking it.

"There's no time to lose. While it's still early, let's enter the Burial Ground. During the day, Yang Qi is at its peak. Even if the zombies hide underground, their strength is greatly weakened. This is our best chance to sneak in." Ye Yuan said.

Naturally, no one objected, and they entered the Burial Ground through the hole.

After everyone had disappeared, two figures emerged from somewhere and stood at the entrance.

Both were completely shrouded in black robes, their faces impossible to make out.

"Hehe... These fools really don't know their limits, daring to enter the Absolute Ancient Demon-Sealing Formation," one of them said.

"Their entry into the Absolute Ancient Demon-Sealing Formation provides more blood sacrifices for the Demon Lord! In another half month, we should be able to use the corpse tide's power to completely break the formation," the other said.

"Who would have thought that the Baiwu Domain still has such a capable person! That kid from Chixia is no simpleton!"

"That kid is indeed a bit strange, but it doesn't matter. He's about to die anyway."
