Chapter 186 Ye Li's physical body is alive!
A chill ran down Ye Li's spine, making her scalp tingle.
So, was she the first person the masked man revived using Li Yuehua's body?
No, how could that be!
She was clearly an orphan who was taken in by Master Qingyu and brought to the Tianmen Sect. How could she possibly be related to Ghost Face?
But the more she thought about it, the more those memories she had ignored came crashing down on her.
That eerie immortal abode in the Golden Sands Illusionary Realm, the room that frequently appeared in her dreams.
The person who held her hand in her dream and taught her to write her name, and the piece of paper she used for practicing calligraphy that she saw with her own eyes.
Ye Li.
Li'er.
Why is her name Ye Li?
Was the name given to her by Master Qingyu, or was she born... Ye Li?!
Memories from childhood to adulthood flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern.
If she was indeed resurrected by the Ghost Mask and then sent to the Heavenly Gate Sect.
So every day she spent at the Tianmen Sect was under the watchful eye of the masked man...
A feeling of suffocation washed over her, as if someone were squeezing her throat, making it impossible for her to breathe.
Just as Ye Li was in a state of mental turmoil, she suddenly heard a faint sound.
At this moment, Ye Li was extremely suspicious and suddenly looked in the direction of the sound.
As far as the eye could see, there was a disciple covered in blood.
Judging from his appearance, he hasn't been here long and still has a breath left.
Upon seeing this, Ye Li immediately flew over.
How are you?
The other person was already disoriented, uttering a few words unconsciously, and completely unable to hear any sounds from the outside world.
Seeing his miserable state, Ye Li couldn't bear it and tried to hear his last words in this world.
“My name is…Cao Yong’an…Tell Abi…to leave the Tianmen Sect…there is…there is…”
What is it?
"..."
Ye Li received no answer. Turning her head, she saw that Cao Yong'an was already lifeless.
Watching a living person disappear before her very eyes, Ye Li gritted her teeth.
No matter who Ghost Face is, he has taken so many lives, she will never let him go!
-
After leaving the Lotus Sect, Ye Li immediately inquired about a disciple named Cao Yong'an.
"Are you talking about Senior Brother Cao from Shuiyun Sect? Sigh, I heard that Senior Brother Cao went to Mu'aiyun Island for trials and went missing. There's still no news of him. His poor fiancée, Abi, cries every day and is going to cry her eyes out."
Abi...
Remembering Cao Yong'an's last words, Ye Li decided to go to Shuiyun Sect.
Elder Ge and Nie Hongye were not present, and the disciples of Shuiyun Sect were all cultivating on their own.
Abi, like Cao Yong'an, was an inner disciple and lived in the inner sect residence.
Ye Li stood at the door and knocked twice. "Senior Sister Abi, are you inside?"
No one answered.
She tried to push the door open. "Senior Sister Abi?"
Seeing the ashen-faced person lying on the bed, whose life was uncertain, Ye Li hurriedly went forward.
Abi's spiritual veins were extremely weak, so she quickly channeled some spiritual energy into her. After a long while, Abi slowly woke up.
"Yong'an".
Are you alright?
Abi opened her eyes and saw a completely unfamiliar woman. Disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she still forced herself to get up and kneel on the bed. "Thank you for saving my life, junior sister."
Ye Li quickly helped her up, "You're welcome, I'm glad you're alright."
Abi was extremely weak; the mere act of lying back on the bed left her breathless.
After catching her breath, she looked at Ye Li, a hint of confusion in her eyes, "I don't know my junior sister at all, why would she come looking for me?"
"It's Cao Yong'an..."
Ye Li paused, she couldn't very well say that Cao Yong'an was dead, and for a moment she didn't know how to explain it.
When Abi heard Ye Li mention Cao Yong'an's name, she nodded knowingly. "You're Yong'an's friend. You heard about his accident and wanted to ask about him, right?"
Ye Li nodded in agreement.
When Cao Yong'an was mentioned, Abi's face was filled with sorrow.
"There's still no news about Yong'an, but Elder Ge and Senior Sister Hongye have already gone to Twilight Cloud Island to look for him. Hopefully, they'll get good news."
No wonder Elder Ge wasn't at Shuiyun Sect; he was out looking for someone.
It seems that someone else has gone missing on Twilight Cloud Island, which has stirred up painful memories for Elder Ge, hence his personal visit.
In fact, when Chu Wei showed her the map on the Shadow Token, one of the spots looked a lot like an island.
However, she had never been to any islands and could not recognize them.
Now it seems that it might indeed be this Twilight Cloud Island.
Thinking of the disciples who died tragically, Ye Li pressed on, "May I ask what happened on the day Senior Brother Cao disappeared?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Abi burst into tears, "Yong'an did it all to save me, otherwise Yong'an wouldn't have gotten into this accident."
Ye Li realized something, "Were you also on Twilight Cloud Island that day?"
Abi nodded and recounted the events of that day to Ye Li.
...
The incident happened about two weeks ago.
They went to Twilight Cloud Island for trials. Although Twilight Cloud Island was more difficult than other trial sites, they were all inner disciples, some of whom had been there more than once, so they didn't take it too seriously.
The sea area around Twilight Cloud Island is vast, and it took them several days to reach it.
At first, nothing seemed amiss. They explored Twilight Cloud Island while killing some low-grade magical beasts.
Until one day, a patrolling disciple ran back and said that he had discovered the entrance to a treasure...
At this point, Abi's voice became hoarse, "He said there are many top-quality herbs there, as well as quite a few rhinoceros horns."
The spirit rhinoceros horn is an extremely rare spiritual object that can be used to forge top-grade magical artifacts.
Upon hearing the news, the disciples instantly erupted in excitement.
Abi wanted to go along to take a look, but Cao Yong'an stopped her, saying that everyone had searched everywhere as soon as they arrived on the island, but no one had found any treasure. It seemed strange that it had suddenly appeared, so it was better not to go.
Abi thought it made sense and agreed with his statement, choosing to stay where she was with her fellow disciple who shared the same concerns.
But as more and more people found the treasure, the disciples who stayed behind also became restless.
In particular, Cao Yong'an is currently crafting a spirit sword, and if he acquires the spirit rhinoceros horn, the quality of the spirit sword will definitely be raised to another level.
Therefore, Abi decided to help Cao Yong'an find the rhinoceros horn behind his back.
She thought she wasn't greedy; as long as she found one rhinoceros horn, she would come back, and nothing bad would happen.
Hearing this, Ye Li had a bad feeling. "So, you also went to that treasure location?"
Abi nodded, her voice filled with sorrow, "That was the most regrettable decision I've ever made in my life."
At first, she followed several disciples with similar aspirations into the treasure land, and indeed saw many high-grade spiritual herbs and treasures there.
She was so focused on finding the rhinoceros horn that she didn't stop.
But finding a rhinoceros horn wasn't easy; the deeper she went, the more secluded she became.
Until a series of desperate screams pierced the sky.
A disciple ran out covered in blood, half of his head had been cut off, and his screams were horrific.
"ah!"
Seeing this, Abi was stunned for a moment and belatedly ran outside.
However, at that very moment, something extremely strange happened.
