Chapter 1283
byThe more hidden the restriction here was, the more Yang Kai was certain of his previous guess.
Staring at that restriction for a long time, Yang Kai’s expression suddenly changed. He stretched out his hand and summoned the Void King Grade Refining Furnace. Pointing his hand and lightly shouting, “Go in and take a look！”
Accompanied by a soft chirp, the Firebird Weapon Spirit flew out from the Refining Furnace and plunged head-on into that restriction without hesitation. As soon as the Weapon Spirit touched the restriction, the surrounding space suddenly shook, and then the trace of the Weapon Spirit disappeared without a trace.
Yang Kai’s brows furrowed. After perceives that the connection between himself and the Weapon Spirit still existed he felt relieved again.
Standing in place, carefully receiving the information transmitted by the Weapon Spirit from the inside, Yang Kai’s expression was uncertain. After a while, he said, “It seems that this is the right place. There is a world within a world inside, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is astonishing. It is very likely the place we are looking for.”
“Really？” Yang Yan was overjoyed.
“However… there is still a lot of corpse qi inside. It seems that there is more than one Corpse Soldier living here.” Yang Kai’s expression was solemn.
Yang Yan was stunned, and his expression also became hesitant. If there was only that one Corpse Soldier, with Yang Kai’s means, there was no need to be afraid of anything. But if the number was too large, Yang Kai simply couldn’t match them in strength. Whether to continue to go deeper or not had to be carefully considered.
After a long while, Yang Yan said, “Since this is the ruins of the Ancient Yang Sect, it means that these corpse soldiers appeared after the destruction of the Ancient Yang Sect. It is very likely that many of them were originally disciples of the Ancient Yang Sect. Due to some opportunities, they became like this after death. That is to say, the most powerful of them is just a Corpse General who has cultivated for two thousand years, at most equivalent to the level of a Void Return 2-layer Realm, and may even be slightly inferior.”
“Void Return 2-layer Realm?” Yang Kai’s eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he murmured.
If it was just like this, he didn’t need to be afraid. He might not be able to defeat a Corpse General of this strength, but it was no problem to take Yang Yan and escape.
After pondering for a while, Yang Kai made a decision. He nodded slightly and said, “Then let’s go in.”
If he only detected the corpse qi inside, Yang Kai would definitely turn around and leave. Although he was not afraid of those thousand-year-old Corpse Generals, unnecessary battles should be avoided as much as possible. But in addition to the corpse qi, the heaven and earth spiritual energy inside was also extremely rich, clearly hiding some good things.
He and Yang Yan had come all the way here, and now that the goal was close at hand, they naturally didn’t want to flinch at the last moment.
After saying that, he released his own Saint Yuan, wrapped Yang Yan in it, and led her to take a step forward.
As soon as he took a step, the world spun for a while, and then the scene in front of him was completely different. The two of them actually found themselves in a place like a cave all of a sudden. The whistling and depressing wind came from a very distant position, sounding a bit like the wailing of ghosts and wolves, making people shudder.
Around the cave, there were full of unknown substances emitting fluorescence, green and oily, like will-o’-the-wisps.
However, in this cave, there was extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Yang Kai even smelled a hint of a subtle medicinal fragrance from it. Immediately, his heart trembled, knowing that he and Yang Yan had really found the right place. The location pointed to by the two incomplete maps was very likely to be the secret cave of this Ancient Yang Sect.
Although the light in the cave was not too bright, with Yang Kai’s cultivation level, after infusing his Saint Yuan into his eyes, he could still see everything in front of him clearly. Quietly releasing his spiritual sense to sense for a while, Yang Kai quickly discovered that this cave had half-artificial traces. It seemed that there was originally such a cave existing underground, and later it was processed and excavated by someone, becoming even more spacious.
And in the extremely deep position of this cave, there were passages extending in all directions. Each passage led to an unknown place. Yang Kai chased after a wisp of spiritual sense all the way until he reached a position thirty miles deep. Then his complexion changed, and he showed a look of horror.
“What did you discover？” Yang Yan asked softly.
“Shh！” Yang Kai quickly put a finger to his lips and, at the same time, quietly withdrew that strand of his Divine Sense and transmitted his voice to Yang Yan, saying, “Corpse Soldiers, a great many Corpse Soldiers.”
Yang Yan’s beautiful face changed color.
Yang Kai added, “However, they all seem to be asleep and haven’t awakened. As long as we’re careful and don’t startle them, it’ll be fine.”
“How many are there？” Yang Yan’s small face paled as she asked nervously.
“I’m not sure. Just at the bottom of the passage I explored, there were seven or eight. There are at least several hundred passages here. If every passage is like this, then here…”
“Could this be a Corpse Cave！” Yang Yan seemed to remember something.
“Corpse Cave？” Yang Kai furrowed his brows.
“Yes, it is said that in some special places, Corpse Soldiers are extremely likely to be born. Moreover, if Corpse Soldiers sleep and cultivate in such a place, they can easily fuse their Divine Souls with their physical bodies and open their spiritual wisdom. If this is really a Corpse Cave, then it’s too dangerous.”
“I don’t know if it’s a Corpse Cave or not, but the Corpse Qi at the deep end of that passage is indeed very dense, and the Yin-Cold Qi is also quite vigorous. Those sleeping Corpse Soldiers are indeed inhaling and exhaling that Yin-Cold white Qi.”
“That’s right, it’s a corpse cave,” murmured Yang Yan was shocked and analyzed. “With so many corpse soldiers, it is very likely that some of them were formerly disciples of the Guyang Sect, and the others were martial artists who died here later. It seems that we have entered a very remarkable place.”
“Since we’re already here, why talk about these things.” Yang Kai chuckled. With a thought, a ball of fire in the distance quietly flew back and then drilled into Yang Kai’s body and disappeared. It was exactly the weapon spirit that Yang Kai had released to scout the way before.
Seeing this, Yang Yan gritted her silver teeth and once again activated the power of her secret treasure necklace. This time, the halo like flowing water emitted by the secret treasure necklace not only wrapped her, but also wrapped Yang Kai in it.
In an instant, the auras of the two people were suddenly cut off.
The two people looked at each other and quietly advanced forward.
Since those corpse soldiers were in a deep sleep, they were not a cause for concern. The only thing that made Yang Kai a little worried was the corpse soldier at the peak of the Saint King level that he had injured before. He didn’t know where he was hiding. Yang Kai didn’t dare to investigate too boldly, so he couldn’t find his trace for a while.
Along the way, they passed through some deep forcs.it could be clearly felt that strong corpse qi and the sound of swallowing came from the depths of those forks. However, these movements were very regular. Obviously, if there was no external force, those corpse soldiers would not be able to wake up for a while.
Every time they passed by these forked roads, Yang Yan couldn’t help but get closer to Yang Kai’s side, as if subconsciously wanting to seek some sense of security.
Fortunately, Yang Yan’s secret treasure was outstanding, and the two of them were fully on guard, so they didn’t expose the slightest bit of their aura as they advanced all the way in.
And while the two of them were advancing all the way in, deep within a certain forked road, in a dark cave, there were three corpse soldiers with skinny figures and terrifying appearances, sitting cross-legged on the ground. No one knew what kind of cultivation method they were circulating. With each breath, they sucked in the wisps of white qi beside them into their lungs, strengthening their own strength.
And these three corpse soldiers all emitted an energy aura at the peak of the Saint King Realm.
A figure flashed at the entrance of the passage, and another corpse soldier appeared there. His appearance was in a sorry state with one arm broken off at the elbow, and two fangs exposed, looking extremely ferocious.
As soon as he appeared leisurely, he was perceived by the other three corpse soldiers. The three corpse soldiers all opened their eyes and looked at him. In an instant, six groups of green eyes like ghost fires flickered in the dark cave.
“Eh, Brother Nie, how did you become like this？” One of the corpse soldiers looked at the broken arm of this companion and asked in surprise, “Could it be that you encountered some danger outside？”
The fierce look in the eyes of the severed-armed corpse soldier flickered, and he gritted his teeth and said, “I did encounter some danger. I was carelessly chopped off an arm by someone！”
“There is actually such a thing！” The corpse soldier who spoke earlier looked extremely surprised. “Hasn’t there been no Void Returning Realm martial artist entering the Burial Valley of Heroes for many years？ Could it be that a Void Returning Realm martial artist has come again？”
“It’s not a Void Returning Realm one, but just a Saint King Realm Second Layer.” The severed-armed corpse soldier seemed a bit ashamed. “Nie was caught off guard for a moment and suffered such a serious injury.”
“Hehe, Brother Nie is joking. If you and I were still in human form, this kind of severed-arm injury would indeed be difficult to heal, but now that we have become like this, such an injury is nothing to worry about A little of our life corpse qi can be used to reconnect it.
“I’m afraid Brother Nie’s injury can’t be healed.” Another corpse soldier with long hair seemed to have discovered something and said. Moreover, the voice that came out of her mouth was extremely mellow and pleasant to hear. This corpse soldier was actually a woman. Although her full picture couldn’t be seen clearly it could be imagined that she must have been a beautiful woman during her lifetime.
“How do you say that？” The corpse soldier who spoke earlier asked in surprise and doubt.
“If I’m not mistaken, is there a part missing from Brother Nie’s severed arm？” The female corpse soldier’s eyes flickered.
After hearing her words, the other two carefully observed, and indeed, it was the case. The severed arm that the severed-arm corpse soldier brought back was indeed missing a part, and the incision was extremely neat, as if it had been cut twice.
“Is a Saint King 2-layer so powerful？ Brother Nie, did you take it too lightly？” The female corpse soldier said with some blame.
“It’s not that Brother Nie took it lightly, but his power is too strange. I’ve never encountered such an attack before.” Recalling that pitch-black blade-like attack, even though he was already a corpse, the face of the severed-arm corpse soldier twitched slightly, looking scared. If it weren’t for his quick reaction at that time, he might really have died again. After dying last time, he was brought back by the corpse soldiers here and cultivated in the corpse cave for hundreds of years. Finally, he cultivated his spiritual wisdom, and after countless years, he gradually had his current strength. If he died again this time, he would really disappear.”
“What kind of power？” The other three corpse soldiers were greatly surprised and quickly asked.
