Chapter 13460 Gold Collar

Chapter 13460 Gold Collar
Along the way, they passed through dense forests and bypassed ancient stone monuments. Every step seemed solemn and mysterious.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the ancestral temple. Lie Yong opened a hidden mechanism with ease, and a secret door opened silently, revealing a staircase leading to the underground. The three of them slowly walked down the stairs and stepped into the underground world that had been sealed by the years.

In the dark underground passage, they relied on the torches in their hands to illuminate the way forward. On the stone walls on both sides of the passage, ancient totems and mysterious runes were carved, as if telling the long history and legends of the Demon Soul Beast Clan.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, they finally arrived at the door of a secret room. This secret room was tightly closed by a thick stone door, which was covered with various mysterious talismans, flashing a faint light.

In addition, there are black iron chains as thick as arms, tightly wrapped around the stone gate, as if suppressing some terrifying force.

Lie Yong once again cast his gaze towards Ling Xiao, his deep eyes filled with worry and warning, "That treasure is now quietly lying in that secret room, but please be careful, it has an extremely violent temperament, and if you are not careful, it may lead to unpredictable consequences."

Ling Xiao nodded gently with a faint smile on his face, "I have received your concern, and I am really grateful. But now that we have come to this point, I, Ling Xiao, will never back down easily."

After saying this, he raised a confident arc at the corner of his mouth and was about to step into the mysterious secret room. At this moment, Lie Yong's voice sounded again, with a hint of worry that was difficult to conceal: "Master Demon Lord, please be careful."

Lie Yong knew that his persuasion was useless, so he could only do his best to remind Ling Xiao to be more careful, hoping that he would be safe. This concern, although simple, was full of affection.

Ling Xiao turned around, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry on his face, "How did you trap it, and how many years did you trap it?"

Upon hearing this, Lie Yong frowned slightly, as if trying to recall that long-ago history. "It's been a long, long time. I'm afraid even the oldest generation of our Demon Soul Beast clan can't tell the exact time. I only know that since I can remember, it has been firmly trapped here and has become a secret that our clan has guarded for generations."

There was a hint of awe and emotion in his tone, as if he was narrating a long-forgotten past, and that past was the complex and subtle entanglement between their Demon Soul Beast clan and this treasure.

Ling Xiao's voice was low and gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing this long-sleeping space. "It seems that it has been imprisoned for much longer than I thought!" His eyes pierced through the darkness of the secret room and fell on the lonely statue of the Demon Soul Beast in the center, with a barely perceptible sigh in his tone.

As he pushed gently, the heavy stone door slowly opened, making a low and long creaking sound, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. Ling Xiao stepped over the threshold and entered this room full of mystery and ancient atmosphere.

The secret room was empty and silent, with only the faint light of torches swaying in the darkness, adding a sense of mystery and solemnity to the space.

In the very center, a gigantic statue of a demon soul beast stood tall, with a sturdy body and deep eyes, as if it could wake up from its slumber at any time and restore its former glory and power.

And on the neck of the statue, a golden collar was tightly bound. It flickered brightly under the dim firelight, like the brightest star in the night sky. It was undoubtedly the legendary golden collar.

Ling Xiao's eyes were fixed on the golden collar. His heartbeat quickened a bit, and the excitement in his heart surged like a tide.

Although he had not yet found the Demon King's secondary clone during this trip to Demon Soul Village, it was worth it to unexpectedly discover such a treasure that transcended the times. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and his eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.

However, even though he was filled with excitement and joy, Ling Xiao did not relax his vigilance at all. He knew very well that such a treasure containing endless power must have huge risks and challenges hidden behind it.

He remained on high alert, with determination and calmness flashing in his eyes, ready to respond to any unexpected events at any time.

Recalling Lie Yong's previous warning, Ling Xiao became more convinced that those words were not groundless. He knew that he had to be careful and cautious in order to find his own opportunities and gains in this unknown and dangerous place.

At this time, Lie Yong was still standing outside the door, his body trembling slightly, as if he had lost the courage to step into the secret room. His face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear and awe. He was obviously deeply shocked and frightened by the pressure emitted by the golden collar.

Ling Xiao withdrew his gaze from the gold collar and glanced around the empty secret room, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

To be honest, apart from the legendary World-Destroying Magic Needle and the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword, he had never seen such a stunning treasure. This gold collar, whether in terms of material, craftsmanship or the power it contained, was a rare treasure that he had never seen before in his life.

He gently stroked his chin, his eyes fell on the gold collar again, his eyes flashing with curiosity and inquiry. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Lie Yong outside the door, with a hint of inquiry and curiosity in his tone, "Is this thing really powerful?"

Upon hearing this, Lie Yong's expression became more solemn, as if he recalled the glory and fear of the past, "Very powerful! Back then, it was with this golden collar that the Demon Soul King was able to truly command the beasts and become one of the most powerful in the Demon Sect. Its power is enough to shock the entire martial arts world."

Ling Xiao nodded after hearing this, and he had a deeper understanding of the power of the golden collar. At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the magic needle space in his body, "Found it! My third secondary clone is in that statue!"

The voice was crisp and rapid, full of surprise and excitement. Ling Xiao's heart moved, and he immediately realized that it was the voice of the Demon Spirit King. He looked at the statue of the Demon Soul Beast with an incredible light in his eyes, as if he saw the dawn of hope and opportunity.

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed across Ling Xiao's face, and his eyebrows raised slightly, as if he was surprised and delighted by this sudden gain.

He had indeed never expected that during this trip to Demon Soul Village, he would unexpectedly discover the third secondary clone of the Demon Spirit King. This unexpected surprise made him feel a little excited.

You know, in order to open the Demon Spirit Sect in the Demon Needle Space, he needs to gather five secondary clones.
