Chapter 4166: Trap

In Nine Underworlds City, the streets buzzed with people, carriages, and horses, creating a lively atmosphere.

Ye Haitang sat in a black stone pavilion as Wang Chuanming reported to her. "An ancient tomb! Are you sure?" Ye Haitang asked, doubt in her voice.

"Absolutely sure. The news came from a Golden Immortal cultivator I often trade with. Before this, he provided several pieces of information, all of which proved accurate. I've known him for hundreds of thousands of years. I personally investigated, and there is indeed an ancient tomb, but the restrictions are too strong for me to break," Wang Chuanming reported.

"What about Yuqi? Is she busy?" Ye Haitang asked. All five ghosts had advanced to the Golden Immortal stage, and she herself had reached the mid-Golden Immortal stage.

"Ancestor Yuqi just entered seclusion for cultivation not long ago. Yong'an is in the rear. If you take action, it would be much more convenient," Wang Chuanming replied honestly. Wang Yong'an had already advanced to the Golden Immortal stage, but he was in the Heavenly Exhibition Sea Region. Bai Yuqi had recently entered seclusion, so Wang Chuanming could only turn to Ye Haitang.

Ye Haitang nodded and said, "Alright! I'll go with you." After giving a few instructions to her clan members, Ye Haitang departed with Wang Chuanming.

Over half a month later, they arrived at their destination, appearing in a sprawling range of verdant green mountains. This was the Thousand Bamboo Mountain Range, part of the Hulan Tribe's territory, though quite far from the Hulan Mountains. Occasionally, chaos beasts would appear there.

"Ancestor Haitang, it's here," Wang Chuanming said, pointing to a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. Ye Haitang's divine sense spread out, but she detected nothing unusual. She flicked her sleeve, and eighteen yellow, shimmering talismans flew out in all directions, sinking into the ground. After setting up the warning array talismans, Ye Haitang also deployed a one-way teleportation array that could transport them to the rear. This was the Hulan Tribe's territory, so she had to be careful.

Once the teleportation array was ready, Ye Haitang entered the small valley. The valley was densely vegetated, and the rock walls were uneven. Wang Chuanming's right hand glowed red, and a cluster of crimson flames surged forth. With a palm strike, a massive crimson fire palm flew out, hitting an uneven rock wall. With a muffled thud, the surging flames engulfed the rock wall. A faint yellow spiritual light appeared, followed by an earthy yellow light screen.

Ye Haitang released her ghoul and merged with it. The ghoul opened its mouth and spewed a stream of black ghost fire onto the earthy yellow light screen. The light screen emitted a wisp of green smoke. The ghoul then punched the light screen, which dented inwards but quickly returned to normal. "It seems ordinary methods won't break this array. I'll set up an array to break it!" Ye Haitang said.

She took out array flags and an array disk and began setting up the array. After it was set up, Ye Haitang and Wang Chuanming each cast a spell into the array disk. The ground shook violently, and a large expanse of crimson flames surged forth. The flames suddenly solidified, revealing a gigantic red giant, entirely enveloped in countless crimson flames, emitting terrifying high temperatures. The red giant swung its fists, smashing them towards the earthy yellow light screen. With deafening roars, the ground shook violently, and surging flames engulfed the earthy yellow light screen.

After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, accompanied by a loud bang, an extremely thick yellow light shot skyward, highly conspicuous. "Such a commotion! Could it be the meditation cave of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?" Wang Chuanming excitedly exclaimed.

Ye Haitang took out a yellow, shimmering talisman. With a "poof," the yellow talisman spontaneously ignited. "The warning array talisman has been triggered," Ye Haitang said with a frown. Wang Chuanming flipped his hand and took out a golden, shimmering orb. He infused it with immortal essence, and the golden orb immediately glowed with dazzling golden light. "Oh no, more than ten chaos beasts are coming, including a Seven-Colored Chaos Beast!" Wang Chuanming exclaimed in alarm.

"It's an ambush! Retreat quickly!" Ye Haitang didn't believe it was a coincidence. If a few chaos beasts were just passing by, she could understand, but with a Seven-Colored Chaos Beast joining them, it was definitely no accident.

Two five-colored chaos beasts, resembling bats, flew over, intending to entangle them. Ye Haitang and Wang Chuanming simultaneously extended their right index fingers. Their fingers glowed with a dazzling spiritual light. They lightly pointed at the void, and a golden rainbow and a black rainbow shot out. The two five-colored chaos beasts flapped their wings, dodging the two rainbows. They circled back and appeared before Ye Haitang and Wang Chuanming. Their right index fingers struck at the five-colored chaos beasts' sharp claws. With two muffled thuds, both five-colored chaos beasts' claws had finger-thick blood holes, bleeding profusely. Their left palms struck the two five-colored chaos beasts fiercely. The two chaos beasts simultaneously flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground. Before they could get up, two rainbows shot towards them, accurately striking their heads. Both five-colored chaos beasts' heads had finger-thick blood holes, and they perished. Relying on the "Three Qiankun Fingers" secret technique, it was not difficult for Wang family Golden Immortals to kill Golden Immortal-stage five-colored chaos beasts after cultivating into true spirits. At this moment, the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast was still over a hundred *li* away from them.

The ground shook violently, and countless grains of sand shot skyward, blocking the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast. At the same time, Ye Haitang collected the bodies of the two chaos beasts, then cast a spell into the teleportation array. A dazzling spiritual light shot skyward, engulfing their two figures. As the spiritual light dispersed, Ye Haitang and Wang Chuanming vanished. When the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast arrived, it cursed, "They're actually immortal array masters! The one who set up the array is too useless; they broke it so quickly!"

"What should we do next?" a six-colored chaos beast resembling a rhinoceros asked. "What else can we do? Go back and report," the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast said helplessly.

In Hao Yue City, within a quiet manor, Yu Weiwei sat in a cyan hexagonal stone pavilion, holding a golden, shimmering immortal transmission mirror. Lei Hong's face could be seen on the mirror's surface. "What? Failed again? Does the Wang family have so many peak true spirits?" Yu Weiwei said with a frown.

The pseudo-immortal had arranged an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling. Yu Weiwei, cooperating with the pseudo-immortal, leaked the news to the Wang family. Their goal was to capture one or two Golden Immortals from the Wang family, preferably to turn them to their side. Who would have thought they would fail?

"No, that's not it. The person who came was an immortal array master. She was very cautious and set up a teleportation array. Before our people could arrive, the Wang family Golden Immortal had already teleported away," Lei Hong said. The chaos beasts valued the Wang family's artifact refining skills and wanted the Wang family to defect and work for them. To achieve this, it was best to turn a few Wang family Golden Immortals. The plan was good, but they underestimated the Wang family Golden Immortals.

"What's next? After this incident, the Wang family won't fall for it so easily again," Yu Weiwei said with a frown. "A failure is a failure. For now, don't act rashly. Lie low. If I need you to take action, I'll contact you," Lei Hong said before cutting the connection.

Yu Weiwei's heart sank. Chaos had given her two tasks, and both attempts to trap immortals had failed. The first attempt to trap Murong Yilong could be considered an accident, but now the second attempt to trap a Wang family Golden Immortal had also gone wrong. She estimated the chaos beasts would no longer value her, and her future seemed bleak.
