1365 Immortal Ensnaring Vault

"Tian Yang, huh? Why were you on the brink of death, Tian Yang?" Kulas asked him.

After hearing this question, he recalled everything that had happened to him before he was knocked unconscious, followed by a tsunami of emotion that consumed him with anguish.

"Xiao Li!"

He ignored Kulas and ran to the crater created by the ball of flames.

However, there was no sign of Huang Xiao Li. The ball of flames that appeared out of thin air had erased all signs of the bandits along with Huang Xiao Li's corpse.

Tian Yang fell to his knees and started bawling his eyes out.

"Xiao Li! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!!!"

"AHHHHHHH!"

Tian Yang released a deafening howl that carried immense anguish and anger.

"..."

Kulas watched this scene unfold before him with a serious expression on his face. Even though he didn't know the situation, even a blind man could tell that something tragic had occurred to Tian Yang remained in the kneeling position for many hours on end without moving a single muscle.

Eventually, Kulas approached him from behind and spoke in a gentle voice, "I don't know what happened, but you clearly have unfinished business. Are you going to sit there until you die from anguish, or are you going to do something about it?"

"..."

Tian Yang was unresponsive.

Kulas continued trying, "This Xiao Li… was she your lover or something?"

Tian Yang's body had a slight reaction when he heard her name.

Seeing this, Kulas continued, "Judging by the scene, it's been several days since whatever happened here ended. You've managed to survive so many days with injuries that would've killed someone else over a hundred times. Your determination is unfathomable. I know you are not someone to give up no matter how bad things get."

"My injuries… Did you heal them for me?" Tian Yang suddenly asked.

"That's right. I had a feeling that you weren't meant to die here, so I fed you some medicine."

"Kulas, correct?"

"That's right."

"Thank you, Kulas…"

Tian Yang wiped his face and slowly stood up.

He lifted his head and stared at heaven with a profound expression on his face.

"The barrier… it's gone?"

At that moment, Tian Yang realized the barrier that had ensnared the Desolate Continent had vanished.

"The Immortal Ensnaring Vault? It was lifted three days ago." Kulas revealed.

"Huh?" Tian Yang looked at him with wide eyes.

"Why do you know…"

After a brief pause, his face twisted with anger, "Don't tell me you are responsible for that barrier?!"

"What?!" Kulas reacted to his accusation with shock.

"That's quite the accusation! Do I look like someone who could deploy such a priceless treasure? That was something done by the Immortal Clans!"

"Immortal Clans? What are you talking about?" Tian Yang frowned.

"You really don't know anything, huh? Well, I don't blame you." Kulas shrugged.

He continued, "The barrier that sealed this place for half a year is called the Immortal Ensnaring Vault—a treasure owned by one of the Nine Immortal Clans. It was activated to prevent the 'key' from escaping when the Immortal Clans worked together to subjugate it."

"Key? Are you talking about the Colossal?"

"Yes, the Colossal was a key to open the Immortal's graveyard sealed within this land. If the Immortal Clans hadn't sealed this place, the key would've escaped."

"Anyways, the Immortal Clans succeeded in eliminating the key and revealed the entrance to the Immortal's graveyard. Now everyone around the Divine Heavens is rushing to this place to enter the Immortal's graveyard."

Tian Yang gritted his teeth after learning this information.

"Because of these Immortal Clan bastards, Xiao Li had to suffer and die an undeserving death…!" He clenched his fists so hard that it began to bleed.

"Y-You should keep such words to yourself… If anyone from the Immortal Clans were to hear you, they would've skinned you alive!" Kulas nervously said as he looked around to ensure they were alone.

'Nine Immortal Clans…! I swear I will make you pay for this!' Tian Yang's eyes flickered with a vicious light.

"Hey, what do you think about visiting the Immortal's graveyard with me?" Kulas suddenly said.

"I decline." Tian Yang frowned, his reluctance etched across his face.

"Eh?! Why not?!"

"Why should I?" he immediately rebuked.

"Well, for one, you can acquire all kinds of powerful treasures if you're lucky, and if you're fated, you might even acquire the Immortal's legacy. If you had that, standing at the peak of the world wouldn't be a fantasy."

"As for the second reason, you kind of owe me for saving your life, you know?" Kulas chuckled.

"..." Tian Yang fell silent and began pondering.

"Why me?"

"No special reason. I just think we were brought together by fate, and I admire your tenacity. If I had a guy like you around, my chances of survival would surely increase!"

"What kind of bullshit reasoning is that?" Tian Yang snickered.

'But it is true that I owe him for saving my life…' he sighed inwardly.

"Think about it. There's a reason that even geniuses from top sects are scurrying to come here."

'He's right… This could be an opportunity for me to finally achieve my dreams…'

"Of course, I'm not forcing you to come with me. I'm just asking as a friend."

"Since when did we become friends?"

"I'm not sure. A few moments ago, I suppose?" Kulas laughed heartily.

Tian Yang rubbed his eyes and sighed, "Alright, I will accompany you to the Immortal's graveyard."

Kulas' eyes immediately brightened, "Hell yeah! That's what I am talking about! The entrance will be opened in two days' time, so we should just barely make it to witness the opening if we move out now."

"Follow me!"

Right as Tian Yang prepared to follow Kulas, he noticed a subtle glint in the corner of his eyes.

"That's…"

Tian Yang immediately went to pick up the object shining on the ground.

"Xiao Li…" he muttered in a low voice as he recognized the object as Huang Xiao Li's spatial ring.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Kulas called for him from a distance.

Tian Yang tightly held the ring and pressed it against his heart before muttering in a resolute voice, "I swear, I will seek justice for you even if it's the last thing I do!"
