cal artifact or just plain wood, I don’t want to argue about it anymore. You all know that magical artifacts have a lifespan. Every time an array is activated, some energy from the artifact is consume...Ji Yun saw the other person being so arrogant, and raised his hand to fight back, but Chen Ping stopped him!

"What do you mean by offerings"

Chen Ping asked the man!

Since you asked, I might as well tell you all. Besides, you can't leave here anyway!

That person chuckled and said, “This place isn't some treasure trove of the ancient Body Refinement Clan, but rather the ancestral burial ground of the ancient Body Refinement Clan where they sealed my demonic soul essence!”

"In order to build a treasure trove for the ancient body cultivators, countless demons of our clan died here, and many souls were sealed within."

"To break the seal, you need the blood of the Iceheart behemoth. But obtaining its blood is incredibly difficult!"

"That's why our Demon Ancestor came up with this plan. We sealed the five Ice Soul Giants within ice coffins and then, using the divine senses of human cultivators, gradually drew out their blood essence."

"Thus, the five ice behemoths will continuously produce essence blood until the moment the seal is broken."

"You think these people are absorbing ice crystal energy, but in reality they've already entered a fantasy realm. Their consciousnesses are being slowly devoured."

“Of course, you're not the first, and you won't be the last. We only complete our mission when the seal is broken!”

Listening to the man's words, Chen Ping finally understood why those people on top of the palace during the fight just seemed to ignore everything!

Originally, they had already entered a state of illusion. At first, there were no blood vessels inside the ice coffin, but these people appeared after absorbing the energy of the ice crystals!

And there are these strange patterns, they're the result of the Ice Fiend Beast's blood slowly dyeing the red. It looks like the seal is about to be broken!

"Wasn't this entrance purposely opened by the two of you, then exposed to everyone"

Chen Ping asked!

"Not bad!" the man nodded.

"Were all these mechanisms you deliberately set up, to make everyone believe there's a treasure here"

Chen Ping continued to ask!

That person still nodded: "Everything, it was all our doing. But if you people weren't greedy, how could you have been tricked"

"Actually, every year people come to this far north seeking opportunities, and these people become our sacrifices."

"Well, there are just a lot more people this year. So we're leaving you guys here and the two of us will have to go tempt others."

"Why would that blood congeal into the remnant soul of the Ice Tyrant If we hadn't killed the Ice Tyrant's remnant soul, wouldn't the essence blood cease to exist"

Chen Ping was very surprised, how could he open the seal without the Ice Soul Giant Beast's blood!

"It's all your fault. The essence blood would have slowly flowed out of the ice coffin on its own, being absorbed and sealed little by little. But you forcefully sucked it out, causing the essence blood to merge into one. That's what led to the apparition."

"You're actually quite capable. Come with us now, and you might still live. Otherwise, you'll just die here."

That man said to Chen Ping.

"Come with you Unless the two of you have the ability to take me away..."

Chen Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, and murderous intent instantly enveloped his body.

"You two bastards, I'll kill you..." Ji Yun could no longer hold back. If it hadn't been for Chen Ping's constant reminders, they would have been played around by the other party!

Ji Yun suddenly attacked the two people, but just as he made his move, the two retreated into the pattern. A red light flashed in the pattern, and the figures of the two people slowly disappeared!

"It even set up a teleportation array, no wonder it's not afraid at all!"

Chen Ping saw the other party being teleported away by the teleportation array, and couldn't help but frown slightly!

"Just enjoy yourselves, and don't even think about leaving here. No one who has ever entered this place has ever left..."

The sound grew fainter and fainter... until it disappeared.’s able to wake up and recognize you is just a coincidence……”Chen Ping explained.As Chen Ping finished speaking, a series of roars suddenly came from the back garden, followed by screams from the serv...
