In a pitch-black palace, Fang Chen stood in the center as he surveyed his surroundings.
Suddenly, Fang Chen felt a dazzling light. In the next moment, Fang Chen felt a sinister aura coming from the palace.
"I'm separated from the others."
Fang Chen was a little puzzled as he whispered.
This should be the legendary tomb, but Fang Chen didn't notice anything strange.
"There's light over there."
Fang Chen was startled as he discovered a light in the distance. Immediately, he rushed towards the source of the light.
Seeing that he was about to reach the light, Fang Chen couldn't get close to it no matter how hard he tried. He had already been walking for an hour.
"Did I enter a maze?"
Fang Chen was a little speechless. It seemed that this was the maze.
Fang Chen carefully thought about it, looking for a way out of the maze.
At the same time, the other cultivators who had entered the tomb were also trapped in the maze, looking for a way out.
Four hours later, Fang Chen met someone in the maze. It was the seventh day of the Seven Heavens Sect.
The seventh day saw Fang Chen from afar and immediately left. He didn't treat Fang Chen as a competitor at all.
Another four hours later, Fang Chen saw a flower with a different color in the distance. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was a Body-Refining Flower.
"It's a Body-Refining Flower."
Fang Chen was pleasantly surprised. He quickly walked over to the Body-Refining Flower and placed it in his interspatial ring.
At this moment, Fang Chen met another person, Jin Liuyun.
"Fang Chen, since I met you here, you can die now."
Jin Liuyun immediately sent out a powerful punch at Fang Chen when he saw Fang Chen.
Bang!
Fang Chen's fist collided with Jin Liuyun's, causing him to retreat a few steps. The web between his thumb and forefinger hurt.
"I'm still not a match for Jin Liuyun. I can't fight him head-on."
As Fang Chen pondered this, he tapped his foot and quickly disappeared into the maze. Jin Liuyun wanted to chase after him, but he quickly lost his way in the maze.
"Dammit! Fang Chen, the next time I see you, I'll definitely kill you!" Jin Liuyun said furiously.
Time slowly passed. Fang Chen had been walking in the maze for ten hours, but he still hadn't found the exit.
However, during this period, Fang Chen met Li Guanglong in the maze.
Li Guanglong wanted to attack Fang Chen, but Fang Chen displayed his superior strength and forced Li Guanglong to retreat.
If not for the maze, Li Guanglong would have died.
Finally, after twelve hours, Fang Chen was the first to leave the maze. After leaving the maze, Fang Chen sat down cross-legged and swallowed the Body-Refining Flower.
The most important thing now was to increase his strength. If he met Jin Liuyun in the tomb, the latter would definitely not let him off.
Hiss! Hiss!
The golden heart beat rapidly a few times. In an instant, the medicinal effects of the Body-Refining Flower were completely absorbed by Fang Chen.
Fang Chen felt his body grow stronger. Unknowingly, his cultivation level had increased from the early stage of the Fourth Level to the middle stage of the Fourth Level.
After absorbing the medicinal effects of the Body-Refining Flower, Fang Chen looked around and realized that he was still in the underground palace.
However, at the very front of the underground palace, there was a coffin.
"Hmm, could the secret be in the coffin?"
Fang Chen was puzzled, but he didn't stop. He took a step forward and appeared in front of the coffin.
Just as Fang Chen was about to open the coffin, the lid of the coffin suddenly shook. In the next moment, a red aura emerged from the coffin.
Keke
A sinister laugh directly entered Fang Chen's ears.
Fang Chen turned pale with fright. He immediately gathered all the strength in his body and punched the coffin.
With a bang, Fang Chen's body was pushed back. At the same time, the coffin opened and a skeletal figure slowly emerged from the coffin.
"This is …"
Fang Chen was shocked. He could feel a strong bloody aura coming from the skeleton.
"Keke, someone actually discovered this place." The skeleton said sinisterly.
"Who are you?"
Fang Chen asked coldly.
Just as Fang Chen was speaking, Jin Liuyun, Seventh Day, and the others all appeared outside the maze and discovered the skeleton.
"Fang Chen."
Seventh Day was also surprised. He didn't expect Fang Chen to be the first disciple to leave the maze. However, in the next moment, Seventh Day discovered the skeleton in the coffin.
"Who is he?"
Seventh Day asked.
"I don't know. I also just discovered it." Fang Chen said solemnly.
"Keke, so many humans have come to die." The skeleton exuded a murderous aura and said coldly.
"All of you will die. Yellow Spring Sect will rise again." The skeleton said hoarsely.
"Not good. Run!"
No one knew who shouted, but the crowd immediately started running away.
However, the skeleton's strength was clearly very strong. The bones in his palm shook slightly, and a Qi Blade appeared in front of everyone.
"What Qi Transformation Realm expert?"
Everyone turned pale with fright and started to flee. Fang Chen was also fleeing.
A Qi Transformation Realm expert was not something that Qi Cultivation Realm experts like them could compare to.
"Go to hell."
The skeleton snorted coldly. The Qi Blade in the air instantly bombarded the bodies of several disciples. Immediately, their bodies were cut in half. The scene was very bloody.
"Run!"
The skeleton killed several Qi Cultivation Realm disciples with a flip of his hand. This scene caused Seventh Day and the others' faces to change drastically.
At this moment, Seventh Day and the others were rushing towards the exit of the tomb.
At the far left of the palace, there was an obvious exit. If they could escape, they might still have a chance of survival.
"All of you, go to hell."
The crimson skeleton's body creaked as it came out of the coffin. Then, it spat out a mist that surrounded the bodies of the disciples.
"Ah!"
The disciples let out miserable cries as their bodies turned into a pile of white bones. It was very frightening.
"I can't die here."
Jin Liuyun, who was fleeing, had a face full of shock as he quickly ran away.
Bang! Bang!
Apart from Seventh Day, Jin Liuyun, Fang Chen, and Ye Lin, the rest of the people were killed by the mist that the crimson skeleton spat out.
"A few good subordinates."
The crimson skeleton seemed to have changed its mind and wanted to control these people to be its subordinates.
Its withered face was filled with a sinister expression. With a wave of its hand, a strong smell of blood instantly appeared in the palace and enveloped everyone.
"Senior Brother Li."
Just as Li Guanglong was about to escape, he suddenly felt a force coming from behind him. In the next moment, Li Guanglong felt his body flying forward uncontrollably.
"Senior Brother Li, I'm sorry."
Ye Lin's voice rang out. She pushed Li Guanglong's body in front of the mist and temporarily blocked it. At the same time, Ye Lin's delicate body instantly escaped from the tomb.
The moment Ye Lin escaped, Li Guanglong let out a miserable cry. Then, he was corroded by the mist and died instantly.
After Ye Lin escaped, Jin Liuyun and Seventh Day's eyes lit up as they prepared to escape. Their gazes were directed towards Fang Chen.
The two of them were in front of Fang Chen and directly blocked Fang Chen's advance.
"Fang Chen, stay here."
Jin Liuyun roared and punched out, forcing Fang Chen back. Then, he rushed towards the exit of the tomb.
Crash!
After Fang Chen was forced back, he prepared to escape. However, the power of the Qi Transformation Realm instantly suppressed him, making him unable to move at all.
"Am I going to die here?" Fang Chen was very unwilling.
Hiss! Hiss!
Just as Fang Chen was thinking, a mist suddenly appeared and enveloped Fang Chen. Then, it directly drilled into Fang Chen's mind.
"To have such tyrannical strength at the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, you are a genius. I need a subordinate like you." After the bloody skeleton finished speaking, the mist around Fang Chen instantly dissipated.
Fang Chen's eyes were dull. He had already been controlled by the bloody skeleton.
"Let's go."
Seeing Fang Chen being controlled, Jin Liuyun was even more terrified. He was only one step away from escaping.
However, the bloody skeleton didn't give them a chance.
"You want to escape from me? Dream on!"
The bloody skeleton snorted coldly and stretched out its hand, instantly grabbing Seventh Day and Jin Liuyun.
"No!"
Jin Liuyun tried to resist, but it was useless. When the mist enveloped the two of them, their minds were also controlled.
"Master."
Fang Chen and the other two cupped their hands at the bloody skeleton.
"My injuries haven't healed yet. Starting today, the three of you are my subordinates. You will listen to my orders. In the future, when the Yellow Springs Sect rises again, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth," said the bloody skeleton hoarsely.
"Yes, master." The three of them nodded.
Although one of them had escaped, the bloody skeleton didn't think she could do anything.
"Damn it, one of them escaped. Looks like we can't stay here for long," said the bloody skeleton softly. Then it led Fang Chen and the other two out of the tomb.
After Ye Lin took out the tomb, she quickly walked away. It didn't take long for them to leave the tomb.
Two hours later, Ye Lin left the Liangyun Mountain Range and appeared in Liangyun City. Ye Lin didn't stop at all. She directly went to the Qingfeng Sword Sect.
The first thing Ye Lin did upon returning to the Qingfeng Sword Sect was to find her master.
When she found Elder Liu and told him what had happened, Elder Liu fell into deep thought.
"You're saying that you found a bloody skeleton in the tomb that claimed to be from the Yellow Springs Sect?" asked Elder Liu.
"Master, that bloody skeleton's strength has reached the Qi Transformation realm. We're not its match. Jin Liuyun, Seventh Day, senior apprentice-brother Li Guanglong, and the others were all killed. I was only lucky to escape," said Ye Lin frantically.
