Gusts of Yin wind howled, and ghosts shrieked mournfully.
After everyone had gathered, the burly man surnamed Yuan was the first to walk towards the passage.
The others set up a few simple Formations, then followed closely behind him without any delay.
Li Feiyu walked at the very end. After walking for a short while, he suddenly turned around and looked at the entrance of the passage behind him, a blue glow appearing in his pupils.
Where they had originally been, a faint light flickered on the ground, revealing three mummified corpses, all black, with icy green light flickering in their eyes, staring coldly at the passage.
Li Feiyu smiled faintly at them, then turned and continued forward.
The three mummified corpses saw Li Feiyu's expression, and a hint of confusion flashed in their cold eyes.
They discovered me?
What does it mean to smile at me?
After their confusion, the three mummified corpses sank back into the ground and disappeared.
The burly man surnamed Yuan and his group searched along the passage and arrived at the cave where they had first discovered the Yin Zhi Horse.
Chang, White Yao Yi, and Li Feiyu guarded the entrance, while the others went inside to search. After finding traces of the Yin Zhi Horse, everyone proceeded together towards that passage.
Black Yin wind blocked everyone's vision. Apart from Han Li and Li Feiyu, who possessed Spirit Eye Divine Ability and could see a hundred zhang away, the others could only see vaguely.
"Everyone be careful, a giant corpse wolf has appeared ahead. It looks difficult to deal with."
"Senior Brother Li, is that small white thing on the corpse wolf's head the Yin Zhi Horse?"
"Its body is like jade, transparent and pure white, and it can coexist peacefully with this corpse wolf, so it must be it."
Elder Fu couldn't see, but he felt that Li Feiyu and the others wouldn't lie to him, so he smiled and said, "That's great, the Yin Zhi Horse is finally within reach."
They continued forward and soon saw the true appearance of the corpse wolf.
It was three zhang tall, with a pair of large wolf eyes as red as blood, and four black, sharp wolf claws like blades.
The corpse wolf roared at them, occasionally spewing out green flames from its gaping maw.
The Spiritual Pressure it emitted made Elder Fu and the others feel a chill in their hearts.
If it were a one-on-one fight in this environment, they all felt they might not be able to defeat it.
However, they didn't pay too much attention at this moment, but rather looked at the top of the corpse wolf's head, and indeed saw a small white thing, their faces showing surprise.
That small thing also discovered them, and it was so scared that it immediately hid in the corpse wolf's long fur, not daring to show its head again.
It was extremely intelligent, sensing the full malice of the people opposite.
A fierce light flashed in the corpse wolf's eyes, and it opened its mouth wide, a torrent of emerald green corpse fire continuously spewing out from its foul-smelling mouth, instantly becoming a towering green wave surging towards the group.
The burly man surnamed Yuan and Chang immediately threw out their Magic Treasures.
However, they failed to break through the attack of the green flame corpse fire. Instead, the several venomous insects used by the burly man surnamed Yuan were incinerated by the green flames, instantly turning into nothingness.
The burly man surnamed Yuan's expression changed slightly.
Fire indeed has a considerable suppressive effect on poison techniques.
Seeing the flames approaching, White Yao Yi formed a hand seal, and a fan of ice appeared in her jade hand as she opened her mouth.
A great chill burst forth from her body, and she fanned it directly at the emerald green corpse fire, sending a bone-chilling wind mixed with countless ice crystals sweeping towards the opposite side.
Green and white light converged in the middle, shining with immense brilliance.
Flame and cold collided, and bursts of explosive sounds emanated.
Facing the ice-cold Divine Ability with opposing attributes, the corpse wolf's corpse fire actually held its own, which made White Yao Yi slightly annoyed. She fanned the ice fan backhand, and the power of the cold wind actually increased significantly.
The others didn't just watch either. Chang used three crimson Flying Swords. The three swords merged into a giant sword about a zhang long, and its Sword Qi crisscrossed as it fiercely slashed towards the corpse wolf.
The burly man surnamed Yuan, on the other hand, patted his Storage Pouch, and a blue gourd appeared in his hand. A thick purple mist sprayed from the gourd, slowly drifting towards the opposite side.
Li Feiyu and Elder Fu did not make a move, to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.
Three top-tier Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators dealing with a corpse wolf, even if the environment was not advantageous, was enough to cope.
Facing three terrifying attacks, the emerald green corpse fire retreated steadily.
The corpse wolf also sensed the danger, its body suddenly shrinking, and the fur on its body bristled like needles. With a low growl, dense, tiny green lights shot out, enveloping everyone.
After launching its attack, the corpse wolf did not attack again, but instead turned and fled.
Everyone was busy dealing with the attack, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the dark passage, leaving no trace.
Elder Fu and the others were somewhat stunned. After deflecting the green lights, they immediately gave chase. Just then, Li Feiyu's expression changed, and the Spirit Beast Pouch at Han Li's waist, containing the Soul Devouring Howler, also let out a clear cry.
Han Li flicked his fingers, and several streaks of green Sword Qi shot out, fiercely striking the ground a dozen zhang away.
After a few rumbling sounds, a faint light flashed on the ground, and three black mummified corpses emerged.
Chang exclaimed in surprise, "I remember one of them was clearly dead! How, it's alive again?!"
"These three mummified corpses are not simple, Daoist Fu. Why don't you all go ahead and pursue, and I'll catch up with you after I've eliminated them? How about it?"
The burly man surnamed Yuan was delighted, and Elder Fu nodded, saying, "Since Fellow Daoist Li is volunteering, I naturally won't stop him. Fellow Daoist Han, Fellow Daoist Bai, why don't you two also stay and help Fellow Daoist Li, to resolve this faster."
"No problem." Han Li and White Yao Yi both nodded and agreed.
The burly man surnamed Yuan and the other two, riding their escape light, rapidly pursued the corpse wolf.
Li Feiyu looked at the three mummified corpses and said with a faint smile, "They've been following us all along. These three mummified corpses should be special refined corpses controlled by something."
White Yao Yi's expression changed. She thought of something and asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, do you mean they might be controlled by the Ghost King rumored to be in the Yin Yang Cave?!"
"Then aren't we already targeted?!"
"Perhaps."
Li Feiyu said ambiguously. His expression was calm and he was not swayed by White Yao Yi's guess.
The three mummified corpses ignored the other two and simultaneously launched an attack on Li Feiyu.
They spewed out several gray threads from their mouths, which at first glance seemed extremely ordinary.
But Han Li frowned slightly, as if he had discovered something unusual.
Li Feiyu chuckled, "Soul-Slaying Threads. Indeed, a good method, and a great Divine Ability of the ghost Dao, but for me, it's nothing more than that."
"It's rumored to be immortal and indestructible, capable of absorbing Five Elements Spiritual Qi and defiling all kinds of Magic Treasures. I wonder if it's really so?"
As he spoke, Li Feiyu raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and a pure golden lightning net instantly condensed into form, directly covering the dozen or so Soul-Slaying Threads.
The Soul-Slaying Threads, upon contact with the golden lightning net, immediately reacted violently, emitting a puff of green smoke, as if fire had suddenly met water.
Water and fire are incompatible!
The lightning net extended, enveloping the three mummified corpses as well.
Li Feiyu closed his five fingers and clenched his fist.
The mummified corpses let out a series of shrill screams from their throats. Their bodies were cut into countless fragments by the lightning net, then exploded into black Qi masses.
"So it's integrating the corpse Qi with the main body. That's a decent refining method."
"All things in the world are mutually reinforcing and restraining. Junior Brother Han, it's your turn."
Han Li nodded, patted his Spirit Beast Pouch, and with a flash of black light, a small, shiny black monkey, somewhat ugly yet cute, jumped out.
It jumped around excitedly. Without waiting for Han Li's command, it pounded its chest a few times, then sprayed a ray of light from its large nose. The ray of light swept up all the black Qi and brought it back, then it smacked its lips, as if it had eaten a very delicious meal.
White Yao Yi looked somewhat dazed.
Both Li Feiyu's golden lightning net and Han Li's Spirit Beast surprised her.
She looked at the two of them deeply. These two were not as simple as they appeared, and their Divine Abilities were even more astonishing than she had imagined.
After devouring the corpse Qi, the Soul Devouring Howler shrunk to about a foot in size and jumped onto Han Li's shoulder, where it quietly lay, its large eyes curiously observing its surroundings.
"Let's go. I wonder if Daoist Fu has caught the Yin Zhi Horse yet."
"Eh, Fellow Daoist Yuan's mark is gone."
As Li Feiyu spoke, Han Li and White Yao Yi were both slightly startled. They immediately checked the mark left on them by the burly man surnamed Yuan, and also sensed the mark they had left on him.
White Yao Yi paused, "Perhaps Fellow Daoist Yuan is just trapped in some Restriction, and that Restriction just happens to cut off our Divine Sense marks."
"Perhaps. Let's hurry over and take a look."
"Once we find them, everything will be clear."
The group quickly rushed over, following Elder Fu's mark.
In a short while, they arrived at an open space, surrounded by piles of discarded Ore.
About a hundred zhang ahead, a small plaza appeared. In the center of the plaza was a giant emerald green bamboo, reaching directly to the top of the cave, with a huge Formation at its base.
Li Feiyu looked at the large Formation, thinking that this should be the large Formation that teleports to Kunwu Mountain.
In the center of the Formation, a green-haired humanoid monster sat there, holding a headless corpse in one hand, gnawing on it with relish.
Judging by the clothing, it was the burly man surnamed Yuan!
Beside the green-haired humanoid monster, the corpse wolf lay, and the Yin Zhi Horse still remained motionless on its head.
Upon seeing the monster, the Soul Devouring Howler let out a cry, its fur bristled, and it stared intently, making an attacking posture.
Li Feiyu looked at the two gray cocoons in mid-air. One was the burly man surnamed Fu, and the other was his Junior Sister, Chang.
"Fortunately, Daoist Fu is fine, otherwise I would have come in vain."
The humanoid monster turned its head to look at Li Feiyu, then looked at Elder Fu in mid-air, a wicked smile appearing at the corner of its mouth. It threw the burly man surnamed Yuan's corpse towards them, then its figure flashed and disappeared from its original spot.
Li Feiyu also disappeared along with it.
The green-haired humanoid monster's fingernails were pitch black and sharp, fiercely grabbing at Elder Fu. Just before it touched his body, a golden light flashed before its eyes.
Li Feiyu suddenly appeared.
The humanoid monster smiled wickedly, its attack undiminished, even intensifying a few points, with black light glowing on its fingernails.
Li Feiyu raised his hand to meet the blow, his palm flashing with a massive golden lightning arc.
Crackling sounds ~
Boom ~
Attacked by the golden lightning arc, the humanoid monster let out a strange cry, its figure instantly moving away, avoiding the subsequent lightning arcs.
"You're wise!"
Li Feiyu said with a smile, then flicked his fingers, shooting out two Divine Devilbane Lightnings, cutting open the cocoon entangled with Soul-Slaying Threads, and pushing the two of them to Han Li's side.
The Silver-Winged Yaksha's eyes flickered faintly a few times. At this moment, it stared at the Soul Devouring Howler on Han Li's shoulder, its expression somewhat strange.
As if it recognized it, and yet didn't.
The Soul Devouring Howler, being stared at like this, had all its black fur standing on end. It jumped in front of Han Li, pounded its chest a few times, and its body swelled.
In the blink of an eye, a ferocious giant beast over ten zhang tall appeared in the cave.
On its back was a blood-colored evil ghost pattern, exceptionally clear, and the blood-light faintly glowed, as if it was about to come to life.
Facing the Soul Devouring Howler's extremely fierce Aura, the green-haired humanoid monster seemed startled and retreated a few steps.
The Soul Devouring Howler had a strong deterrent effect on ghost-type creatures like him, causing him to instantly reveal his true form.
It was actually a Silver-Winged Yaksha!
The Silver-Winged Yaksha was extremely intelligent, and the surprise in its eyes quickly faded.
"So it's a Silver-Winged Yaksha." Li Feiyu said, feigning ignorance.
White Yao Yi's heart was filled with shock, like stormy waves, her mind unstable.
The Silver-Winged Yaksha was a being second only to the Golden-bodied Moon Corpse in the Mortal Realm. In terms of Divine Ability, it was completely on par with a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator.
She looked at Li Feiyu and Han Li. Both of their expressions were normal, without any change.
She became even more puzzled. What was the background of these two? Were they really Loose Cultivators from overseas?
Even the highly renowned Three Immortals from overseas would be extremely wary when facing a Silver-Winged Yaksha.
"This is truly excellent. It's been many years since a human has ventured here. Today, I can finally eat my fill."
After the Silver-Winged Yaksha spread its wings, its Aura also greatly increased, and it no longer feared the Soul Devouring Howler.
Li Feiyu landed in front of Han Li and the others, facing it calmly, with no trace of fear in his eyes.
"Do you think you can do that?"
The Silver-Winged Yaksha's dark pupils glowed with silver light, staring directly at Li Feiyu.
He was not only skilled in wind and earth escape, but also quite accomplished in illusion techniques.
Li Feiyu's eyes flickered with blue light, meeting its gaze fearlessly, "You can't even see through my Realm, do you think illusion techniques will be effective on me?"
"You're actually unaffected by my illusion techniques? That's impossible!"
"Even your human Great Cultivators, when looking at me, wouldn't be completely unaffected!"
Li Feiyu sneered, and a pair of invisible Divine Sense swords fiercely stabbed out from his eyes.
The Silver-Winged Yaksha immediately suffered a severe headache, flapping its wings and screaming incessantly.
Li Feiyu's cultivation of the "Primordial Spirit Unification Art" meant that unless one's Primordial Spirit power was much stronger than his, no spiritual attacks could penetrate his Primordial Spirit barrier under Primordial Spirit Unification.
Of course, there were also drawbacks.
Under Primordial Spirit Unification, he was like wearing a Primordial Spirit armor, but once it was broken through, the damage would be much more severe than for an ordinary person.
After a moment, the Silver-Winged Yaksha gritted its teeth and calmed down.
"I didn't expect you to be skilled in Divine Sense attacks!"
"With such powerful Divine Sense, you're not just a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator as you appear, are you?"
"If you think so, then it is; if not, then it isn't."
White Yao Yi completely understood. So he was a Great Cultivator, and one skilled in Divine Sense at that. No wonder he concealed his Realm, and no one could see through it.
"Don't get cocky!"
A pitch-black mirror appeared in the Silver-Winged Yaksha's green-haired palm at some unknown point.
The mirror was pointed at Li Feiyu and the others. He once again activated his illusion technique, enhancing it with the mirror in front of him.
Immediately, a great silver light burst forth, enveloping a hundred zhang of space.
Han Li and White Yao Yi dared not look.
And to avoid being attacked by Li Feiyu again, the Silver-Winged Yaksha shook its wings and flew at high speed around them.
Its speed was so fast that ordinary human eyes couldn't even see it.
Li Feiyu was interested in the mirror. He smiled faintly, spread his wind-thunder wings, and with a flash of lightning, his figure also disappeared.
Han Li's ears twitched. He knew that Li Feiyu had begun to pursue the Silver-Winged Yaksha. He believed that with him there, they wouldn't encounter danger, so he didn't move recklessly, remaining quietly in place.
Pum pum pum ~
After more than ten collisions, a loud bang suddenly echoed from the ground, and dust billowed.
"Open your eyes, the illusion has been lifted."
Han Li and White Yao Yi looked over. At this moment, Li Feiyu stood in mid-air, holding a shrunken mirror in his hand, which was precisely the one the Silver-Winged Yaksha had held earlier.
"He actually snatched the Magic Treasure directly from the Silver-Winged Yaksha's hand. Who exactly is this Li Feiyu?"
"His Divine Ability and strength, even an ordinary Great Cultivator can't compare!"
"Why have I never heard of his name before?"
Whoosh ~
A gust of wind swept across the ground, and the Silver-Winged Yaksha shot up into the air again. Although its ugly and ferocious face was full of anger, there was a hint of fear in its dark pupils.
He felt as if Li Feiyu was playing with him, not using his true abilities!
