Chapter 367 The Underground River of Corpses is Useless

The cut was very clean, as if it had been cut off with a sharp tool.

Is there something still moving around here, or was it naturally cut off during the relocation?
Various thoughts flashed through Su Che's mind, but he remained vigilant and dared not unleash any supernatural powers. At the same time, he fully activated the Nine Nether Reincarnation Technique to suppress his aura.

If this place is indeed Fengdu City left behind by the Lord of Mount Tai back then, then it is the relic left by the most outstanding figure in this world. We must not take any chances or be careless in the slightest.

It was pitch black all around, with only a faint, pleasant fragrance lingering in the air.

The fragrance is so captivating, it seems not to affect the sense of smell, but rather to gradually seep into the soul along some mysterious law.

Su Che didn't move, his intuition telling him that there should be people all around him.

Or rather, he was once a human being.

Su Che ignited a spark of Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire at his fingertips, and with the faint glow, he finally saw what was around him.

dead body.

Almost an endless number of corpses.

They stretched out in neat rows towards infinity.

Su Che could see the zombies that had just entered the area not far in front of him.

The laborers, poisoned by the accumulated corpse gas, stood there in neat rows, their arms pressed tightly against their bodies, their foreheads drooping downwards.

It was as if they were listening to a lecture, or as if they were waiting for someone's command.

Su Che turned his head slightly to look around. All around him were corpses, dressed in all sorts of different clothes.

Some of the corpses' clothes still had an ancient style, showing that they were made using techniques commonly used in previous dynasties, while the clothes on other corpses were more primitive and made of simpler materials.

Besides these, there were several other corpses that were clearly those of cultivators, still wearing magical artifacts that retained their spiritual power. Their eyes were closed, suggesting that they were not dead, but had simply fallen into a deep sleep.

A significant number of the bodies were missing limbs and had obvious wounds, clearly indicating that they died violent deaths.

This long river of corpses seemed to stretch endlessly, its origins and end unknown.

Su Che bent down and looked at the ground by the firelight; it was all black rock, as somber as iron.

This must be somewhere underground.

Su Che dispersed the Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire and prepared to continue his exploration.

Just as I was about to take a step, I suddenly felt as if someone was gently blowing on the back of my neck.

coming?

Young Master Su held his breath and prepared to retrieve the magic power sealed by the Nine Nether Reincarnation Technique. The Nine Nether Burning God Yin Fire manifested in his palm, and he turned around to launch an attack.

The attack missed, but it knocked down several of the zombies standing nearby.

The breath brushed against his face, but Su Che couldn't see anyone, and his honed senses didn't react at all.

This time it really is a ghost story.

Just as Su Che was about to break the seal, a few hairs suddenly appeared in the air.

A few strands of long, silver beard suddenly floated in mid-air.

Then, as if being lifted by his beard, Elder Qin's face slowly appeared from the void, his eyes closed as if he were falling into a deep sleep.

Teleportation through the void.

Su Che took several steps back.

Void teleportation is an extremely powerful supernatural ability. It is said that only immortal beings can glimpse its secrets. Su Che had only seen Zhong Yuan before, and only such an unparalleled master could teleport people at will with a mere gesture.

If this place is indeed Luofeng City of the Lord of Mount Tai, who disappeared without a trace in ancient times, what kind of supernatural power allows this ruin to still have the ability to teleport in the void after countless ages?
Elder Qin's figure gradually materialized in the void, but he remained silent with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

It seems Xue Baizhi and Shichananda have also come in; these people are quite anxious. Su Che saw Elder Qin appear here and guessed that Xue Baizhi and Shichananda must have come together.

It seems that this ruin can be entered by following the proper rituals. If one tries to force their way in with supernatural powers or magic, it will likely backfire and bring some kind of negative consequences.

When Su Che saw Elder Qin's eyelids twitch slightly, he quickly hid to the side, keeping his eyes down and pretending to be a block of wood.

"Ho."

Elder Qin exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes. He shook his joints and seemed to be looking around just like Su Che.

However, the darkness prevented Elder Qin from seeing anything clearly.

He reached out and made hand seals in the air, as if he was about to unleash some kind of supernatural power. However, despite his rapid hand seals and chanting for a long time, not a single ripple appeared.

The Great River Alliance's expert in Rejuvenation Pills was clearly in a state of panic, and his chanting grew louder and louder. Although Elder Qin tried his best to keep his voice down, Su Che could still hear him clearly.

"Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, the true law of Heaven and Earth..."

"Thunderfire Dao Soldiers, Divine Qi at Ease..."

"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! Hurry, hurry, as..."

"The Supreme Daoist Venerable, high above the heavens, possessing the primordial energy of the Nine Yangs..."

Elder Qin tried many methods over and over again, and finally managed to come up with a single sentence.

"Your mother..."

How is this going?

Su Che looked at Elder Qin with curiosity.

This is a genuine expert in the Rejuvenation Pill realm. Putting aside combat strength, just in terms of cultivation level, I am merely a pivotal figure who has just entered the Rejuvenation Pill realm and has not yet truly condensed my core, while Elder Qin is someone who has condensed his core for who knows how long.

How come you can use your own Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire so naturally, but when it comes to Elder Qin you can only curse your mother?

Elder Qin patted his sleeves and recited the holy name of Boundless Heavenly Venerable several times, clearly trying to adjust his mood.

Finally, the elixir master, having clearly calmed his mind, gently stroked his beard and slowly walked forward.

Just then, a corpse brother that Su Che had just happened to bump into appeared on the way, which became Elder Qin's stumbling block, causing the Rejuvenation Pill expert to fall to the ground.

"Fuck your mother..."

Elder Qin usually rode his crane freely, never having been tripped up by a corpse before. This corpse immediately ruined his progress, and he cursed it incessantly.

Although he tried to keep his voice down, some sounds still drifted through the endless darkness, and it seemed as if some voice in the distance echoed back, making it especially eerie in the gloom.

Su Che frowned, listening intently to the echoing sound in the darkness. It seemed to be more than just Elder Qin's echo.

"Is that Fellow Daoist Qin up ahead?"

Xue Baizhi's voice came from the front.

"It is indeed me, Qin, and Fellow Daoist Xue..."

Elder Qin was speechless for a moment. He was used to being a master of the Xuanmen sect, and he was somewhat embarrassed to have his powers broken today.

"Brother Qin, you must clear your mind and guard your soul, for the fragrance here has the power to bewitch people."

"Is Fellow Daoist Xue injured?"

Xue Baizhi's voice was very low and sounded very weak, as if she had suffered some kind of injury.

Elder Qin stepped back, his supernatural powers seemingly sealed. If anything could harm Xue Baizhi, whether it was something in the ruins or something from the Śakānāda, he would have to be extremely careful.

"It is precisely because of that Yaksha prince that I must thank him."
