Instantly, the negative emotions in my heart burst out again. My heart, which had just calmed down, was now filled with negative emotions. I thought that since Mount Longhu had colluded with the Corpse Sect, it was only a matter of time before they found us. At that time, it would be impossible to find a safe place to hide.
With this thought, my eyes turned red. I turned to the evil sacrificial spirit and said, "If they've chased us all the way here, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive. Now that you've recovered a little bit of your strength, how about we hide behind the Flying Zombie Cave and find a chance to break the wall to fight them? No matter what the result is, it's better than staying here and waiting for death."
After listening to me, the evil sacrificial spirit frowned and didn't answer me. Instead, he reached out his hand and touched my forehead.
I wanted to ask what he had done to me, but I immediately felt a cool aura pour down from the top of my head. The heat in my body dissipated, and the negative emotions in my head weren't as strong as before.
The evil sacrificial spirit answered me, "Don't worry. The Yin energy here is very strong, and the Tai Sui is here. It must be a secret place. Those people won't be able to come here to search for us.
Moreover, even if they come here, we just need to move forward. The Yin energy here is even stronger. Moreover, the terrain of this passage is very complicated. It won't be hard to avoid them.
I know you've been running for your life, and you're restless. However, you shouldn't give up on yourself until you're in a desperate situation. "
His tone was calm, and his words didn't sound like he was lecturing me. Instead, it sounded like he was advising me gently. However, I was still shocked when I heard that. Then, I realized that I was indeed panicking earlier. It wasn't just because I was exhausted from running all the way, but also because I had just escaped with my life. Before I could relax, the enemy had chased me to my doorstep.
This kind of stress was related to one's temperament. If I could say something like that, it meant that my temperament was still not good enough.
No wonder I couldn't feel that I had a chance to enter the Heavenly Master Realm. Not to mention anything else, my temperament wasn't good enough.
I didn't say anything else and just nodded at the evil sacrificial spirit. I agreed with his opinion.
Seeing that I had recovered my senses, the evil sacrificial spirit said, "I can only sense their aura, but I can't hear their conversation. How about we sneak in and see what they're talking about? We'll decide what to do next."
His suggestion wasn't a problem, so I didn't say anything else. I nodded and carefully followed the evil sacrificial spirit into the Flying Zombie Cave.
This was the place where I had found the little zombie. Perhaps the evil sacrificial spirit had found something in the little zombie's memory. He was very familiar with this place. He led me through a few turns and easily. We walked through a rugged area and arrived at a stone wall that emitted a faint light.
There were many holes on the stone wall. It was similar to the Black Zombie Cave where I had impersonated Wei Sanpeng. This should be the tunnel that the Heavenly Master in the Flying Zombie Cave used to bring Yin energy into the house.
In principle, as the evil sacrificial spirit and I were separated by just one wall, we should be able to hear the conversation on the other side. However, the Earth Level Yin energy in this place was so thick that I couldn't hear it. Eventually, I decided to go with the little zombie and stick my face to the stone wall to see through the small holes.
I was worried that the structure of the Flying Zombie Cave would be different from the Black Zombie Cave. However, when I got closer, I found that the structure of this Flying Zombie Cave was exactly the same as the Black Zombie Cave. Through these small holes, we could see all the areas inside the cave.
At this moment, there was a skinny old man wearing black clothes that was very close to the wall we were standing on. His body was surrounded by thick Yin energy, and his wizened face made him look like a thousand-year-old zombie that had just crawled out of a grave. He was extremely ugly. Not far from him was a real zombie. This zombie was covered with a layer of red hair that was around two inches long. It looked very scary. Moreover, the Yin energy it exuded wasn't weaker than the old man's. It was at least a Heavenly Master.
This ugly old man was from the Yin Corpse Sect, and he should be the master of this Flying Zombie Cave. In front of him were three Heavenly Masters wearing Daoist robes. They were the three Heavenly Masters from the Mount Longhu that had chased after me.
They seemed to have been talking for a while. At this moment, the fat Heavenly Master from the Mount Longhu was anxiously discussing with the old man from the Yin Corpse Sect. He said, "There's no trace of him!
I also know that the Yin Corpse Sect is very secretive and doesn't want to participate in the matters of the Metaphysics world. However, Brother Yuwen, I hope you understand how important this person is to our Mount Longhu!
I'll tell you this: if I can't find this person, after I report to Heavenly Master Ming, he might personally come here!
If there's a misunderstanding, it won't be good for either of us. "
The "Heavenly Master" that the fat Heavenly Master was referring to wasn't an ordinary cultivator with the cultivation of a Heavenly Master. He was referring to Heavenly Master Zhang of the Mount Longhu.
Although his tone was humble, the meaning revealed in his words was clearly a threat.
Hearing his words, I was slightly happy. Since he was threatening me, it meant that he had encountered a rebuff. It was possible that someone from the Yin Corpse Sect had rejected their proposal.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the old man's expression didn't change and he indifferently replied, "Brother Xu, don't use Heavenly Master Zhang to pressure me. You might be right that the person you said is important to your Mount Longhu, but the secret location of our Yin Corpse Sect is also more important than my life.
I'll still say the same thing. I can help you search, but the people from your Mount Longhu can only sit here and wait for the result. You can't participate.
If your Mount Longhu isn't willing, then there's no need to threaten me. It's better to go back and find Heavenly Master Zhang.
Heavenly Master Zhang's magic power is boundless, but the ancestor of our Yin Corpse Sect isn't someone just anyone can provoke. "
His words startled me.
Although I already knew that the Yin Corpse Sect was very large and powerful, I didn't think that this old man wouldn't care about the threat of Mount Longhu. He didn't want to suffer any losses, and from his words, it seemed that he didn't even put Heavenly Master Zhang in his eyes.
To the people of Mount Longhu, Heavenly Master Zhang was not only a leader, but also a spiritual pillar. How could they allow the old man to blaspheme him?
I originally thought that the fat Great Heavenly Master would go crazy with anger, but after hearing the old man's words, the fat Great Heavenly Master didn't show any signs of anger. He didn't even wave his sleeves and leave. Instead, he smiled and said, "Brother Yuwen is right, I was rude just now. It's not that I don't respect the Corpse Yin Sect, it's just that that person is very important. I was too anxious and spoke without thinking, so I apologize to Brother Yuwen … Also, I have complete trust in Brother Yuwen, so let's do as you suggested. My two junior brothers and I will stay here and wait for the result. I'll leave everything to Brother Yuwen."
The people of Mount Longhu were actually afraid!
This was completely different from the tyrannical people of Mount Longhu in my mind. I understood that it wasn't because the people of Mount Longhu had changed, but because the Yin Corpse Sect was a hard bone that they couldn't chew.
The two of them reached an agreement. Then, the old man said that he was going to notify the others to search the place. Then, he left the Flying Zombie Cave.
After the old man left, the faces of the three Heavenly Masters of Mount Longhu darkened. They whispered to each other for a long time. I couldn't hear them clearly from outside the wall, but I understood what they were talking about. They were complaining and discussing what to do next. In the end, the result of their discussion was the same as what they had just said. They had to go back and report to Heavenly Master Zhang. Moreover, from what they had said, it seemed that Heavenly Master Zhang didn't have any way to deal with the Yin Corpse Sect. Unless the Yin Corpse Sect found the person and handed him over, this matter would be left unsettled.
After listening to their discussion, the evil sacrificial spirit told me that someone had entered the Yin energy passage. He asked me to go with him and hide.
He had really gotten the little zombie's memory of this place. He casually found a concave crevice and led me into it. Then, he found some gravel and slowly blocked the entrance.
The Yin energy in this stone crevice was much thicker than other places. Moreover, with the surrounding stones, even if several Heavenly Masters came, they wouldn't be able to find us.
After ensuring our safety, I stood in the stone crevice and recalled the conversation between the three Heavenly Masters of Mount Longhu and the old man of the Yin Corpse Sect. An idea popped up in my head.
Mount Longhu was a terrifying force that couldn't be provoked in the entire Metaphysics world. It wasn't safe for me to go somewhere else. If the Yin Corpse Sect could resist them, it would be better for me to stay in the Corpse Sect for the time being.
However, staying in this Yin energy passage forever wasn't a solution. Sooner or later, the core members of the Yin Corpse Sect would come here to check. If they found us, it would be too late.
