The others also felt horrified one after another.
Their bodies were unexpectedly unable to move, not even able to activate the Heavenly Voyage Boats. Facing this terrifying Yin Demon, were they not all going to perish here?
Some even felt a flash of anger in their hearts, cursing Lin Xiao. He had said the Yin Demon would not attack proactively. Was this not attacking proactively?
One attack, and it would take all their lives!
If they had not hesitated earlier, had not considered this issue, had not lingered for a moment, and had retreated directly, they would not have encountered this situation.
Now it was good. Everyone was going to die here.
“Skeleton palm, Lin Xiao, send out your skeleton palm!”
In this instant, the Burial Sect sect master shouted loudly. It was unknown what method he used, but suddenly a copper bell flew out from his hand, instantly growing from small to large, blooming with ten thousand zhang of yellow light. Terrifying Yellow Springs aura permeated, blocking towards the oncoming Yin Demon.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao’s heart shook. Although he did not understand why the Burial Sect sect master wanted him to send out the skeleton palm.
However, since the other party said so at this critical moment, there must be a reason.
Subconsciously, in the instant the copper bell flew out, Lin Xiao hurriedly took the skeleton palm from his storage ring, infused it with spiritual power, and fiercely controlled the palm to shoot forward.
“Clang!”
A piercing sound rang out. That copper bell was directly slapped flying, shooting far away towards the oblique side of the crowd.
And the next moment, the skeleton palm Lin Xiao sent out had already flown to the near front of the Yin Demon.
The Yin Demon subconsciously wanted to slap out, but just at this moment, a scene that shocked everyone appeared.
The Yin Demon immediately froze, the torrential aura on its body instantly retracting. Then, it lowered its head, cupped its fists, and its double knees fiercely knelt in the void.
Lin Xiao was suddenly startled and hurriedly controlled the skeleton palm to stop. Otherwise, the skeleton palm would have struck empty from above the Yin Demon’s head.
Under his fierce control, the skeleton palm also just stopped above the Yin Demon’s head.
All of this happened in only an instant. At this time, everyone had already seen that not only had the Yin Demon knelt down, but its entire body was unexpectedly beginning to tremble.
Immediately after, its entire body prostrated itself in the void, as if it had seen something terrifying.
This scene caused the group of people who had just recovered and were about to flee to be stunned on the spot, unable to react for a long time.
Such a terrifying Yin Demon had actually knelt and prostrated itself, with an appearance of fear. What exactly was this situation?
Everyone felt a sense of daze.
Even Lin Xiao was completely stunned.
What exactly was this skeleton palm? Under the infusion of powerful spiritual power, it would unleash the purest Yellow Springs power. The stronger the spiritual power, the greater the might. Last time, when the “Yellow Springs” liquid from the Burial Sect was injected into it, it had erupted with even more terrifying power.
And now, merely sending it out without infusing any power had made the Yin Demon, which more than ten Martial Emperors could not resist, prostrate and tremble. This was too eerie, was it not?
One must know, this was a true demon!
Even a demon trembled upon encountering it. One could imagine how extraordinary this skeleton palm was.
However, while the terrifyingly powerful Yin Demon feared it, the martial artists felt nothing at all. This made him puzzled as well.
Lin Xiao subconsciously guessed that this skeleton palm might be something that restrained demons, which was why it made the Yin Demon feel fear.
Or perhaps, it was the palm of some terrifying ancient great power or Martial Emperor-level peerless expert, once so powerful that even the Yin Demon feared it.
However, this possibility was a bit too small.
After all, how many people could stand at the peak of the martial path and become Martial Emperors?
Moreover, this skeleton palm was a single palm, not an entire skeleton.
In other words, this palm might have been chopped off by someone or taken off to be used as a weapon. If this palm belonged to an ancient great power or Martial Emperor expert, then how strong would the person who chopped off the palm have to be?
It could not be that some Martial Emperor had a special fetish and chopped off his own hand to use as a weapon, right?
In any case, this possibility was very small.
Or perhaps, this skeleton palm had some connection to this Yin Demon.
For example, the owner of the skeleton palm had once been the Yin Demon’s elder or ancestor, carrying a special aura that they could not detect, but the Yin Demon could. Upon sensing that aura, the Yin Demon felt fear.
This situation seemed to have some possibility. However, if that were the case, the origins of this skeleton palm would be even more ancient and mysterious.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered something and hurriedly looked towards the Burial Sect sect master, asking: “Senior, what exactly is going on? What exactly is this skeleton palm?”
Seeing the Yin Demon in such a state, the Burial Sect sect master let out a long sigh of relief and said: “I am not clear either. However, since it can activate pure Yellow Springs power, it must be an extremely rare supreme treasure across the entire continent.”
“To be honest, this skeleton palm of yours is the thing our entire Burial Sect covets the most. Once, we even discussed whether to seize it.” The Burial Sect sect master added another sentence.
“”
Lin Xiao.
The Burial Sect sect master could not answer his question but gave him this piece of honest truth.
He did not even know that the Burial Sect had discussed whether to seize his treasure. Fortunately, the Burial Sect had ultimately not made this choice. Otherwise, he would probably have been in danger.
Several times, without the Burial Sect’s help, he would already have fallen into peril. If the Burial Sect had come to contend for the skeleton palm at that time, he would have been even more unable to resist.
Hearing the Burial Sect sect master’s words, Si Kong Jian, Fu Yan, the Absolute Blade Sect sect master, elders, and others all had their gazes brighten, with greed flashing in their eyes.
Something even the Yin Demon feared, its preciousness and terror were simply unimaginable.
If they had known earlier, it would absolutely be something they could fight over until their heads bled.
However, at this time, there was still a Yin Demon under the skeleton palm. They did not dare to rob it.
“The Burial Sect has a saying: Yellow Springs buries heaven and earth, buries gods and demons. The Yin Demon is a demon, and the skeleton palm is a Yellow Springs supreme treasure. It might restrain the Yin Demon. I am just guessing.” The Burial Sect sect master added.
The other two Burial Sect Martial Emperors exchanged a glance with each other, their expressions meaningful.
“Yellow Springs buries heaven and earth, buries gods and demons!” Lin Xiao was shocked in his heart. Reaching to the highest heavens above and burying the Yellow Springs below, burying heaven and earth, burying gods and demons. It might be an extremely exaggerated saying, but it carried a bit of that flavour.
One could imagine the terror of Yellow Springs power.
One could also imagine the mysterious nature of this Burial Sect.
For the Burial Sect, Lin Xiao became increasingly curious.
Location unknown, numbers unknown, yet every person was like a corpse revived, living like dead people, with powerful strength.
Could the Burial Sect really be a sect buried underground?
Of course, since the other party was unwilling to reveal it, he naturally did not ask further.
“Then what do we do now?” At this time, Dong Fang Kai Yuan spoke up and asked.
As soon as this was said, the group all frowned one after another.
Indeed, with the deterrence of the skeleton palm, the Yin Demon had quieted down and was no longer attacking. Their crisis had been resolved. But if this palm were withdrawn?
It would surely go berserk again, and even their entire group could not contend with it. When the Yin Demon unleashed its power again, who could stop it?
They could not have Lin Xiao keep controlling this skeleton palm to deter the Yin Demon, could they?
They did not know what would happen if the skeleton palm deterred it for too long.
Even if the Yin Demon now had an appearance of fearing the skeleton palm, showing no sign of acting or defending, they still did not dare to take advantage and attack.
They believed they absolutely could not kill this Yin Demon.
“Logically speaking, with this skeleton palm here, the Yin Demon will not act out. However, even if we keep the skeleton palm by its side, it is hard to guarantee it will not stay away from the skeleton palm. This is indeed a problem.” The Burial Sect sect master also showed a troubled expression.
The skeleton palm was only a deterrent, not trapping the Yin Demon. Even if it was kept on the Yin Demon’s body, the Yin Demon could still move away on its own. At that time, the Yin Demon would still erupt again.
It was also impossible to have Lin Xiao stay by the Yin Demon’s side forever, controlling the skeleton palm to follow the Yin Demon constantly, right?
“I do have a method.” Just as everyone was full of worry, Lin Xiao suddenly spoke up.
“Oh?” The group all looked towards Lin Xiao, full of doubt. Lin Xiao had a method to deal with this Yin Demon?
“Since it can make the Yin Demon prostrate itself, I think keeping the Yin Demon prostrated for two or three days with this skeleton palm should not be a problem, right?” Lin Xiao said.
“What do you mean?” The group did not understand.
A smile suddenly appeared on Lin Xiao’s lips as he said: “Anyway, we cannot deal with it all at once. How about we first send it to the Demon Sect.”
Everyone was stunned one after another, looking at Lin Xiao with faces full of disbelief, unable to recover for a long time. The entire scene immediately fell into silence.
