Chapter 238 - The True Form Of The Nine Keys
"You can call me Old Yan. Come, let me introduce you to everyone." The old man added as he approached Ling Chen.
Old Yan revealed a smile as bright as the sun, capable of illuminating everyone's hearts while talking to Ling Chen.
"You already know the Sun Demi-God, it's time for you to meet the other powerful figures of our world. It's good to get acquainted and know each other before we enter the Tomb because we'll have to work together if we want to survive in this damn place." He continued saying with a friendly smile on his face.
Old Yan was speaking in such a friendly manner that it made it seemed as though he was a caring elder looking out for his junior.
Not to mention the other Demi-God experts present, even Ling Chen was caught off guard by this sudden development or Old Yan's attitude towards him.
The way the old man was talking to him even gave him goosebumps. He knew very well that the old man was conspiring against him. Yet, he was acting as though he truly cared about his wellbeing.
He had to admit, Old Yan was truly a cunning and well seasoned old fox. He was talking to him with such sincerity that he even almost questioned himself whether this was the same old man who was conspiring against him or a different one.
Anyone would find it hard to suspect Old Yan due to his attitude. Of course, Ling Chen was not going to fall for his sweet friendly talk. He simply sneered at him in his mind while looking at him.
"Sure, thank you."Answered Ling Chen with a friendly smile as well.
Even though he had the urge to just strangle and absorb the blood and life essence of this old man, he still kept his cool and pretended to be on good term with him as well.
He still had great used for him. As such, he played along. It didn't matter whether Old Yan was conspiring or scheming against him, Ling Chen was extremely confident in his strength and abilities.
"This man over there is Hundred Eyes Demi-God." Old Yan said as he pointed out his finger at an azure robe middle-aged man.
"That's Sword Demi-God Han." He added as he pointed to another middle-aged man with a long sword on his back.
After introducing all the human Demi-Gods one after another, Old Yan changed his targets the other group of people standing on his right.
"This beautiful woman over there is known as the Silver Eagle Demon God and the man next to her is the White Tiger Demon God."
As Old Yan was introducing the Demon Gods, Ling Chen was also examining them with his emotionless gaze.
With a single glance, He could tell that the White Tiger Demon God was strongest among the Demon Gods. He was rather tall and had muscular figure with his long bluish-gray hair hung loosely on his shoulders. He appeared to be very handsome.
His gaze was very sharp, arrogant, and wild like the king of wolves in the Divine Demon Beast Region.
His eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
Though his eyes were filled with hostility and killing intents as he was looking at him along with the other Demon Gods, Ling Chen didn't care.
He was calm and composed as always. To him, these group of powerful Demon Gods were no different from a random group of mortal.
There wasn't any trace of ruthlessness or hatred in his eyes. His body was not giving off any strong pressure either. He looked as though he was just a weak mortal or a harmless scholar.
However, the Demon Gods felt as though they were being completely exposed every time Ling Chen swept them with his cold, emotionless and weird pupils.
Especially his left azure eye, it was as though it had the ability to peer through one soul and all of one secrets and thoughts were laid bare in front of him.
It was as if his left azure eye was an all-seeing eye and nothing could escape it. And this kind of feeling shocked and terrified them which was why they couldn't help but subconsciously showed their hostility and killing intents.
Can't blame them, no one wants to be completely exposed in front of someone. It was not only the Demon Gods, the human Demi-Gods felt the same the thing as well. It's just that they're better at hiding and controlling their emotion than the Demon Gods.
'It seems like the little bastard is even scarier than I thought.' Inwardly thought the White Tiger Demon God as he was looking at Ling Chen with an strong and unmasked killing intent in his eyes as he shifted his gaze somewhere else.
"Now that we are done with the introduction and everyone is already here, it's time to talk about the Great Luo Martial God Tomb." Old Yan said with a serious expression on his face. At this moment, his demeanor completely changed.
"Like I told many of you before, the Great Luo Martial God Tomb isn't actually a tomb, but some sort of divine treasure in the form of a giant spaceship or a boat."
"Though I'd like to go into details about how it looks and the danger inside, I think it's best if you guys see it with your own eyes."
"Its specific location is unknown as it is always in motion. It's impossible to track its movements once it's closed as it became invisible. The only thing I know for sure is that it's located at the bottom of the ocean."
"We can only find its location and open it by joining the Nine Keys together." Old Yan said as he took out a giant golden key with a weird inscription inscribed on it from his spatial ring.
Following Old Yan, the people that were in the possession of the keys took their own as well, including Ling Chen.
Aside from the fact these nine keys were golden, they were all different one another. They had different inscription inscribed on them and they shaped were also different. Not only that, they weren't the same size either , some were shorter than the others.
Omm!
The moment these nine golden keys appeared in the same place, they started to resonated with one another.
At the same time, they started to violently shake in their owners' hand as if they had their own consciousness and wanted to break free.
"Let them go." Shouted out Old Yan with an exciting look on his face as he let go of his key.
Upon hearing Old Yan, the others didn't think twice as they let go of their keys as well. As soon as they did, the Nine Golden Keys suddenly flew towards one another and combined to form a beautiful and bright golden tablet hovering in the sky.
Swoosh!
However, before Ling Chen and the others could even have the time to admire and inspect the beautiful golden tablet, it suddenly flew north side of the Infernal Island at an amazing speed as though it was attracted by something like a magnet.
"Quickly, follow the golden tablet. It's flying toward the location of the Great Luo Martial God Tomb." Yelled out Old Yan before he turned into a streak of light and followed the golden tablet.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Before Old Yan's voice could even fade away, whether it was Ling Chen, the Sun Demi-God, and the others, they all turned into a streak of light and followed the golden tablet as well.
