Chapter 65 Heavy Casualties (Seeking Follow-up Reads, Seeking Votes)

Outside the Underground Palace, the scattered Gu Poison Peak disciples were attacked by a large Corrosive Poison Bee Swarm. Without a Late Qi Condensation Stage cultivator as their leader, their power decreased by more than one level.

Originally, their desire to explore the Underground Palace and seek opportunities was completely extinguished by waves of Poison Stingers.

Under heavy casualties, they could only retreat to the Passage.

Then, a despairing scene unfolded – their path was blocked.

Screams, wails, unceasing!

At the same time.

Near the Central Abandoned Camp of the Three Mysterious Bone Mountains, the Five Yin Peak disciples, having just been ransacked by Person Wang, had to compose themselves and continue with their original plan.

Their sole purpose was the opportunities within the Underground Palace.

They had specifically chosen a Thin Rock Layer, and a new Underground Tunnel was rapidly being opened up by working together from both sides.

Before long, the Ground suddenly caved in, and a head popped out. It was Fang Zhuo, the Movement Technique expert who had been sent down.

His face was filled with terror as he shouted loudly.

"Disaster, disaster!

"Quick, pull me up."

Everyone reached out their hands together, just wanting to ask, but they felt the Ground begin to shake. With a loud rumble, the Ground collapsed over a wider area.

A Fierce Bone Lion, almost ten meters long, jumped out.

It was still holding Fang Zhuo in its mouth.

Its sharp teeth, no less formidable than rock pillars, instantly bit him into two pieces, swallowed half of him whole, and let out a low roar.

A large amount of skeletons emerged from Underground, forming a Bone Cage that surrounded everyone. The Five Yin Peak disciples' expressions turned grim.

"Second Rank Fierce Bone Lion..."

This was almost unbearable for them! Liu Jinxian and the other two could handle these Second Rank Demonic Entities because they had more methods at their disposal.

If it were them, they weren't sure if they could handle it.

The Second Rank Fierce Bone Lion began its rampage, and there was almost no worthy opponent. Wang Yu, observing from the shadows, also felt his scalp go numb.

There were too many mishaps in this Mysterious Bone Mountain.

Everywhere was filled with Foundation Establishment Level trouble. If Second Rank Netherworld Souls were also hidden within the symbiotic Netherworld Souls of the Bone Wood Forest, the situation would be even worse.

After much consideration, he still did not take action.

The more people who died, the better. This way, Liu Jinxian and the others' status would be in a useless state. Without enough personnel, Wang Yu would be confident in briefly standing at the top.

Besides, he really didn't want to deal with the Second Rank Fierce Bone Lion.

Watching idly as it hunted and killed the Five Yin Peak disciples, in a short time, nearly a hundred people were slaughtered down to just over ten. Only then did they break through the restraints of the Bone Cage and madly flee Mysterious Bone Mountain without looking back.

This behavior was equivalent to betraying the Sect.

The Fierce Bone Lion chased for a distance and then returned, not chasing anymore. It perched in front of that new Passage, opened its gaping maw, waiting for the next fated person.

As things have progressed to this point, the Three Mysterious Bone Mountains... were empty!

Wang Yu, upon seeing this, used the mysterious power of the Night Concealment Spell to stealthily enter Mysterious Bone Mountain and wipe out completely the Storehouse Resources above.

Then, he returned to the Abandoned Camp side to pilfer the Storage Bags of the disciples killed by the Fierce Bone Lion, instantly being promoted to "Hundred-Bag Elder," and enjoyed picking them up immensely.

"Good opportunity, good fortune~, Person Wang should get rich!"

Underground Palace.

Having subordinates completely under her control, Liu Jinxian forcefully coerced Gu Zhengshun and Situ Hong to yield.

Using two Qi Condensation Sixth Layer Cultivators as bait, they finally activated the Array Eye of the Yang Pattern. The Palace Gate of the Third Level of Moon Gathering Palace opened wide, and everyone plunged in.

But in less than ten breaths, Liu Jinxian and the other two retreated in a sorry state, without a single subordinate left by their side.

"Damn it, something is wrong with this damned place."

At this time.

Liu Jinxian was holding the prematurely emerged Bee Gu in her hand. Its condition had stabilized a lot, and its Aura had also become considerably more vigorous.

The chaser behind the three of them was only one Corpse Demon.

The fate of the Poison Bee King was obvious.

"Bullshit Ancient Sect Ruins, it's probably a Sinister Hand purposefully set up to harm later generations."

The three of them dashed out of Moon Gathering Palace, sprinting towards the Passage.

The Corpse Demon at the rear pretended to chase a few steps, but did not chase anymore. The two flames in its eye sockets had unbeknownst when turned into a pair of lively eyeballs.

Its Aura also underwent a drastic change because of this. Standing at the highest point of the steps, overlooking the entire Underground Palace, it sighed and said.

"Have they all failed..."

"The Cage is difficult to break, I am unwilling!!!"

After a few steps, the Corpse Demon's figure paused, and a wisp of Remnant Soul drifted out from the top of its head, silently turning into ashes.

The air stirred up a ripple, and it seemed a scornful snort flashed and vanished.

The Corpse Demon, having returned to normal, scratched its bald head, raised its head to the sky and roared, tracing the scent of humans to continue chasing after them.

Three days later.

Disheveled and dirty, Liu Jinxian and the other two emerged from Right Mysterious Bone Mountain, from the place where Gu Zhengshun had set up the Earth Yin Corpse Puppet Formation, with unlucky expressions on their faces.

Situ Hong said with a solemn expression.

"I am not mistaken, a Remnant Soul certainly escaped from that Magic Treasure. If it weren't for my Yin Ghost body protection, I would have certainly been tricked."

Gu Zhengshun also frowned and said.

"Since there was a Remnant Soul, this Underground Palace is definitely not some Ancient Sect Ruins, but a Body Seizing Place purposefully set up by a Cultivator. I also have no idea what happened to that Corpse Demon."

Taking a Core Formation Cultivator's eight hundred Lifespan as an example, if they perished at five hundred years old, their soul would still have three hundred years of Netherworld Lifespan. Even if they achieved Body Seizing rebirth, their Lifespan would not increase.

Even if they advance again, their Lifespan neither will increase at all, unless they break through their original limit and reach Nascent Soul.

Therefore, the assessment made by Gu Zhengshun was logical.

The Underground Palace Ruins were not real, but a man-made arrangement, more like a trap.

As things have progressed to this point, only Liu Jinxian had gained the greatest benefit. The other two had only gained a little something during the grave robbing, and nobody thought it would turn out like this.

"Sigh, it's useless to say more, let's go our separate ways."

"Indeed, having the Profound Essence Flower, these five years won't be in vain."

Liu Jinxian was silent. Her gains were many, but her losses were also great, and it was hard for her to feel better.

Then.

As soon as the three of them left the protection of the Formation Array, they were directly stunned.

In the distant land, a giant Fierce Bone Lion was crouching. Its Foundation Establishment Level Aura was obviously revealed. The Three Mysterious Bone Mountains had not the slightest bit of human presence, silent as a desolate land.

"This—"

"Isn't it..."

"What happened here."

In just one year, over five hundred people, gone? The three of them felt their scalps go numb, and also felt a chill.

Wang Yu timely appeared, standing in the Shadow of a boulder and sighed softly, "The three of you have finally returned."

The three: "???"

After getting far away from Mysterious Bone Mountain, the four of them sat by a stone table, quietly listening to Wang Yu recounting what had happened during this time.

There was no need to conceal anything. Anyway, it was a struggle between Five Yin Peak and Gu Poison Peak, and these Demonic Entities had merely taken advantage.

Of course, the part where he had profited from it automatically vanished.

After speaking, Wang Yu sighed emotionally.

"The three of you came too late. The remaining people of Five Yin Peak were all scattered by this Bone Beast. Person Wang, relying on a Concealment Technique, barely survived."

Liu Jinxian stared at Wang Yu and said coldly, "Then why didn't you help?"

Wang Yu was surprised and puzzled, "Senior Martial Sister Liu, you overestimate me. I am only Qi Condensation Stage Fifth Layer, how could I stop a Foundation Establishment Bone Beast?"

Situ Hong quickly smoothed things over, "Junior Brother Wang is right. Senior Martial Sister Liu, you are making things difficult for him. It's already pretty good to protect yourself."
