Chapter 185 The masked man was resurrected... by her?!
Su Ying'er was completely unaware that she had already been exposed. As soon as she entered the secret passage, she quickly headed towards the three corpses piled together and began searching for the magical artifacts that Ye Li had mentioned.
She didn't know who Ye Li was talking about, so she could only search them all.
The two bodies were moved aside, revealing the body at the bottom.
Upon seeing his face, Ye Li's eyes widened in shock.
This is... Sun Yun?!
No wonder Sun Yun left a letter and disappeared that day; it turns out Su Ying'er hid it here.
"Why can't I find it? Where is it hidden?"
Unable to find the magical artifact Ye Li had mentioned, Su Ying'er was extremely anxious, searching high and low.
Taking advantage of this time, Ye Li looked into the dark realm.
The interior of the Dark Realm was larger than she had imagined, with countless spirit stones embedded in the long, dark passageways, emitting a faint blue light.
Ye Li tiptoed deeper into the secret passage. Su Ying'er's voice grew fainter and fainter behind her until it disappeared, leaving only a deathly silence.
Just as she was completely focused, a voice suddenly rang in her ears.
"Oh."
Ye Li felt a chill run down her spine and subconsciously looked around.
"Young Taoist priest, I wasn't paying attention, how did you end up in this tunnel? Aren't you afraid of the dark?"
Xie Sixing seemed to have just woken up, and his lazy voice made Ye Li furious.
"I'm investigating the Dark Realm, don't distract me!"
"What?" Xie Sixing asked in surprise. "Talking to me actually distracted you, Daoist Master. You wouldn't have fallen for me, would you?"
"..."
Ye Li didn't speak; she was standing in the crisscrossing dark passageways, her expression solemn.
Each fork in the road was shrouded in darkness, exuding an aura of the unknown.
Before entering, she thought that as long as she found this dark place, she would know its secrets, but now she realized that what she saw was only the tip of the iceberg.
But since we've already come all this way, we can't just give up like this.
Just as Ye Li was pondering which path to take, the annoying voice rang in her ears again.
"Let's choose the southeast route."
Ye Li's brow relaxed. "Which one is correct?"
"No, I just think the feng shui there is good. If you accidentally die, you can be reincarnated there sooner."
Ye Li: "..."
However, she really had no clue, so she chose the one Xie Sixing had suggested.
Even though the walls were inlaid with spirit stones, the faint blue light grew dimmer the further in you went, becoming indistinct and unsettling to behold.
"Look, these spirit stones need to be replaced. And over there, the spirit stones aren't shining anymore. It seems the owner of this place is a bit poor."
This is utter nonsense. The spirit stones here are all top-grade, and there are thousands embedded in this one secret passage alone. It has absolutely nothing to do with poverty.
However, after Xie Sixing's joke, the flickering light didn't seem so scary anymore.
Soon, the road came to an end.
The two tightly closed doors were carved with countless human faces, some raised and some sunken, which, in the dim light, seemed to be hundreds of faces staring intently at her.
Just like what I saw at Moonlight Lake before.
Ye Li frowned. Perhaps this was the totem of the Wuqi Clan.
Using a human face as a totem is simply too bizarre.
She was about to push the door open when Xie Sixing stopped her.
"It's not appropriate to go into someone else's territory empty-handed."
Xie Sixing said with a playful tone, "We should at least take some of their local specialties."
specialty……
Ye Li pondered for a moment and took out the Shadow Token that Xie Sixing had given her earlier.
As soon as she set up the memorial tablet, the door, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened to both sides.
Ye Li's eyes lit up, but the next second, she was so shocked by the scene before her that she was speechless.
Inside the seemingly endless stone chamber, countless people hung around, each dripping blood, which all converged towards the center.
In the middle of the stone chamber was a transparent coffin, and inside the coffin was none other than her physical body!
Several months have passed since I last saw her "corpse" in the misty camphor forest, but her body not only does not look dead, but looks more like a "living person" than when I last saw her.
Ye Li slowly approached.
She was dressed in red, wearing a golden crown, and most importantly, her chest was heaving!
It was as if it was still breathing.
This bizarre scene startled Ye Li so much that she took a few steps back.
She's not dead, so why is she still breathing?
Not only that, "her" face was rosy and lifelike, as if she would come to life at any moment!
Could it be that this is all due to the blood curse formation?
Ye Li looked around stiffly.
Then, to her shock, she discovered that both men and women hanging in mid-air to bleed were wearing the clothing of the Tianmen Sect.
It's that masked man's evil magic again!
Most of the people's skin had turned black and stretched taut over their bones, their sunken eye sockets were empty, and their deaths were gruesome.
Ye Li suppressed her grief, anger, and fear, and flew to their side to check on them.
It was discovered that most of the disciples had been dead for over a hundred years, and some of their bones had even begun to decompose.
Ye Li examined them closely, trying to identify them.
Most of the bodies were mutilated and unrecognizable.
The four corpses at the four cardinal points of the formation were different in clothing and relatively intact.
This shows that they had extremely high spiritual cultivation during their lifetime.
Ye Li looked at the four people; their faces seemed somewhat unfamiliar, yet also faintly familiar.
She felt like she had seen them somewhere before.
Where is it...?
Their clothes don't look like those of ordinary disciples... more like those of the sect leader!
She had seen them in Li Yuehua's memories!
They were the four sect leaders who died at the hands of Li Yuehua!
They went to the Golden Sands Illusionary Realm with Li Yuehua that day, but were killed by Li Yuehua.
Therefore, Li Yuehua committed suicide on the Nine Nether Terrace.
If that's really the case, why are they here?
Unless, it wasn't Li Yuehua who killed them!
The thought of this possibility sent a chill down Ye Li's spine.
The chains, gathering the shadows of the dead, fell densely upon her, spinning incessantly, weaving an invisible net that trapped her within.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on the corpse of a disciple who was relatively short in stature.
Several hundred years ago, Elder Ge had a prized disciple who was exceptionally talented but short in stature.
Elder Ge had high hopes for him, but he died young, passing away unexpectedly while undergoing trials on Twilight Cloud Island.
Elder Ge has been heartbroken for hundreds of years, and now he sighs deeply whenever he mentions it.
Could it be that this disciple did not die in an accident, but was murdered like the four elders?
Ye Li's heart pounded violently, each beat a result of her intense fear.
If the masked man is using blood sacrifice to "revive" her corpse, then what was his purpose in killing these people hundreds of years ago?
The masked man's sinister voice rang in her ears, "No one can stop me from bringing Li'er back to life."
Could it be that after Li Yuehua's death, he also brought her back to life...?
He brought her back to life...?!
