Chapter 59 Escape and Retreat (Please read on, please vote!)
Having obtained the item, but at the cost of a divine-powered corpse arm, Wang Yu didn't know if it was worth it. But what's done is done, and there was no point in regretting it. He could only hope that the jade slip was worth the loss.
A smile crept across his lips, and regardless of whether the corpse demon understood him or not, he said, "Want to come back? Come find me at Ningyue Palace!"
Having said that, he darted out of the library in an instant.
He activated the Night Concealment Spell at full power, climbing along the vermilion pillar like a gecko on a wall, clinging to the ceiling, his aura completely concealed.
Below the steps, eight or nine illusory forms of Wang Yu were fleeing, drawing attention from the front.
The corpse demon charged out in a rage, smashing the gate to pieces.
The true form of the illusion was immediately recognizable, but there were too many of them, and they were scattered. By the time I looked to the left and then to the right, they had already been hidden by the palace walls and disappeared.
It stood there for a moment, showing no intention of looking up, and instead rushed towards the top of the steps, towards the Ningyue Palace. Its path was filled with the aura of death, resembling the birth of a demon.
Seeing this, Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know if the Night Concealment Spell would be effective. As it stood, it concealed his presence quite well. He wondered if he would be able to see through it if they faced each other head-on.
I tiptoed and landed gently on the ground.
Wang Yu straightened the twisted left hand inch by inch. Although it was still unable to move, it seemed to be fine.
This state of disability is expected to last for some time.
The Corpse Demon's secret technique can slowly repair it, and the "Yin Blood Pill" formed using the secret technique will heal even faster. However, this thing needs to maintain the balance of "death energy" to prevent death energy from invading the bone marrow and shortening lifespan.
Conservative estimates suggest it will take at least a year to recover.
Given this situation, Wang Yu decided not to go to Ningyue Palace. He would let the three of them go and fight the Corpse Demon. The underground palace was located beneath Xuan Gu Mountain.
Five years of stationing here is just the beginning; there's no rush to explore everything.
Moreover, having encountered a Foundation Establishment Corpse Demon in the Scripture Pavilion, who knows what dangers lie in the Condensing Moon Palace? It is clearly more important there, and Qi Refining cultivators should not engage in reckless battles.
Retiring at the peak of one's career is a good idea.
They flew backwards.
Many disciples of Gu Du Peak were gathered in twos and threes. When they saw the blood-soaked wound on Wang Yu's chest, some laughed and others ignored it, but they were not stopped.
The discussion only picked up after they watched him retreat into the cave leading to the underground palace.
After a while.
Before leaving the underground pit, three cultivators who stayed behind were wiping their magical artifacts. Several dead Bone Lions lay beside them, clearly having just gone through a fierce battle.
Upon seeing Wang Yu approach, they were all taken aback. Immediately, someone stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Stop! Wang Yu, why did you suddenly retreat? Has something happened ahead?"
No.
Wang Yu paused, then patiently explained:
"At the end of the cave passage lies the ruins of an ancient sect's underground palace. Everyone is exploring the area, searching for opportunities and treasures."
"Wang was injured unexpectedly and had no strength left to fight, so he returned to inform the three of them that if they wanted an opportunity, they should go to the underground palace to explore as soon as possible."
Having said that, he tried to fly away on his magical artifact.
The three men exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with greed. The leader shouted, "I bet you've obtained a great treasure and are trying to escape while injured. Hand it over and we'll spare your life."
…………
…………
"Nonsense!"
Wang Yu coldly flicked his sleeves, mounted the black silk robe, and flew away.
Below, three heads were pierced together with icicles and hung neatly on the rock wall. The mangled corpses were completely mixed together and had no value for reuse.
Even without the Divine Corpse Arm, his magical skills far surpassed those of these ordinary late-stage Qi Refining disciples, making him as easy as crushing ants.
Five breaths later.
At the top of the pit, Wang Yu stood with a cold expression, gathering his spiritual power in his throat and exhaling it downwards, instantly creating a large patch of low-temperature mist.
Ice crystals formed on the rock wall, and countless ice ridges grew diagonally. Holding the superior magic weapon Ice Pattern Sword, he reactivated it and completely destroyed the pit in the form of a giant sword.
When they went down, Liu Jinxian had eighteen generals. Wang Yu first killed four of them, then three more, and in one go, ten were gone. He had completely broken off relations with them and would definitely cause trouble for him after they got out.
It would be better to be decisive and completely cut off any escape routes.
There might be other ways to get up, but it's definitely not going to be out anytime soon, and for some reason, we didn't encounter any swarms of poisonous bees or ferocious bone lions on the way to the underground palace.
This is not normal.
After finishing his business, Wang Yu left the small hill and returned to Xuan Gu Mountain.
at the same time.
At the bottom of the No. 3 Xuan Gu Mountain, Gu Zhengshun and Situ Hong's group of subordinates met up and then jumped down from the deep crevice. There were a total of twelve people, all of whom were in the late stage of Qi Refining.
According to them, the underground magnetic field is disordered, making it difficult to discern directions. It is best to walk directly along a path to avoid getting lost due to the environment.
However, after they landed, they did not land in the underground palace ruins, but in an underground cavity a level below the same location.
The area is dotted with graves, with the occasional more elaborately constructed tomb, some with a ceiling height of over four zhang (approximately 13 meters), and a giant, putrid beehive covering nearly a hundred acres.
The buzzing sound was incessant, and the air was thick with a foul stench.
Looking further out, one can find a network of underground passages, and many ferocious lions roam around the area, actively digging up grave mounds to obtain the remains of cultivators.
They can either chew and swallow it, or apply it directly to themselves.
At first glance, they appear to have strange features such as human bone arms, thighs, and skulls, which is why the swarms of bees and bone beasts on Xuan Gu Mountain are impossible to kill completely.
The underground is where both sides reside.
While the true strength of the bone beasts remains unclear, the sheer size of the putrid bee swarm almost certainly indicates the presence of a Foundation Establishment level queen bee.
Seeing this, Situ Hong couldn't help but joke:
"I think we've gone the wrong way. It would be more appropriate to have that woman Liu Jinxian here."
Gu Zhengshun glanced sideways and said self-deprecatingly:
“Liu Jinxian is a true celestial beauty. She has a father who has reached the Core Formation stage. You and I are only related by blood, but she is of the same blood.”
I know what you mean.
Situ Hong shrugged and sighed. "We only know our own family's affairs. Peach Blossom Ghost Mother cultivates the Yin-Yang replenishment method. She comes from a large family on the Hehuan Sect side and later formed a marriage alliance with the Core Formation Sect."
After she married into the family, whether it was cultivating her spiritual practice or practicing her unique Peach Blossom Divine Power, she needed a large number of handsome men, which was far less convenient than the Hehuan Sect. Her husband simply watched her take in "adopted sons."
Don't be fooled by his current popularity; he'll eventually get tired of him.
They are on completely different levels from Liu Jinxian, who is a direct descendant of her.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's set up the formation."
"good."
Gu Zhengshun patted the corpse-refining pouch at his waist, and one coffin after another stood up, the coffin lids fell down, and twelve bronze-armored corpses with "corpse-suppressing talismans" pasted on their foreheads and holding black command flags quickly dispersed.
Controlling twelve bronze-armored corpses with only a Qi Refining seventh-level cultivation level far exceeded his limits, so he had to use talismans and magical artifacts to assist him, which greatly reduced his flexibility.
It's perfect for setting up formations.
The array that was set up was none other than the [Earth Yin Corpse Puppet Array]!
