Chapter 138: The Thousand-Year Old Corpse Behind the Waterfall!
"Li Ran, are you alright?"
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Lin Langyue thought that he had suffered some sort of hidden injury.
Li Ran snapped back to his senses and shook his head. "I’m fine."
He glanced around and asked, "Where's Bai Jiangye?"
Lin Langyue lowered her head in shame. "He's already gone… I've used up too much of my qi. I haven't recovered yet, so I cannot detain him."
Bai Jiangye was very strong.
Even if she was in her prime, she might not be able to keep him.
Just now, the two of them seemed to be talking peacefully, but in reality, Lin Langyue had always been wary of him to prevent him from secretly killing Li Ran.
"It's fine."
"We don’t have to be afraid of Bai Jiangye. We have to kill Yu Ye first," Li Ran said in an unconcerned tone.
“Yu Ye?"
Lin Langyue was taken aback. "You mean he's still alive?"
Li Ran nodded. "Although his physical body has died, his soul has yet to be destroyed."
He used the Golden Curse to destroy his body, but his soul had already escaped before his body was destroyed.
After all, a deity is still a deity.
At this level, the soul had already undergone a qualitative change, able to live on its own for a long time.
Although it didn't have the ability to kill, its survival ability was extremely strong.
Lin Langyue frowned and said, "Then it'll be troublesome. The Grand Myriad Mountain Range is so vast. Where do we find him?"
Li Ran stretched his finger towards the waterfall and said with a smile, "There's no need to look. He's right there."
"Ah?"
—
The surging waterfall poured down from the top of the mountain and gathered in the pool below. The loud noise was deafening.
The water droplets that sprayed out were as fine as dust, forming a misty mist in the air.
The two floated outside the waterfall.
Lin Langyue looked at the waterfall in front of her and asked doubtfully, "You're saying that Yu Ye is hiding in the waterfall?"
Li Ran nodded. "To be precise, he should be in the mountain behind the waterfall."
The black mist had strengthened his soul, and his dantian had been enlarged. His senses would not go wrong.
Yu Ye's aura was hidden in the mountain behind the waterfall.
"I'll know after a look."
The two leaped into the waterfall. As expected, there was a different world in front of them.
There was a thick stone door on the mountain.
At this moment, the stone door was wide open. However, there was a dark path behind the door that could not be seen at all.
It seemed to be directly inside the mountain.
It seemed that Yu Ye was hiding here.
At this moment, Lin Langyue said, "According to Bai Jiangye, Yu Ye wants to refine a Corpse Puppet here, and he's the reason for all the abnormal movements of the Grand Myriad Mountain Range."
"Corpse Puppet…" Li Ran frowned slightly.
It was probably because of Yu Ye that he could trigger the phenomenon of the heavens and the earth and form such an enormous beast tide.
It was hard to say what was happening in the cave precisely.
Lin Langyue said, "There's something strange going on here. If you go in there, you'll probably fall into a trap."
Li Ran shook his head and said, “Even if it's a trap, I have to enter."
If the grass were cut off, then the new patches would follow!
He and Yu Ye had a blood feud that would never end until death. If he wasn't completely annihilated, then Yu Ye would probably become a disaster in the future!
Li Ran might not care, but what if the opponent's target was Yue Jianli?
She was still a Golden Core cultivator right now, so it was easy to imagine what would happen if a Deity Transformation Realm expert were to target her!
Today, he had to kill Yu Ye!
Lin Langyue understood what he was thinking and nodded. "Alright, I'll go with you."
Although her strength was inferior to Li Ran's, he would still have a greater chance of winning if more people were with him.
Li Ran looked at her determined gaze and did not refuse.
"Let's recover first,"
Their current condition was indeed not very good.
The two took the pill and sat on the ground, meditating.
An hour later.
The two opened their eyes one after another. Divine light swirled in their eyes, already recovering to their peak.
"Let's go."
Without any hesitation, they directly entered the cave.
—
“Damn it!”
"He's only a Nascent Soul, and his soul hasn't even transformed. How could he possibly sense my position?"
Yu Ye's body dimmed as he fluttered about restlessly.
He could sense that Li Ran and another had already entered the cave. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"I only need two more days. Then, when my Corpse Puppet is refined, I'll be able to make my return to the world!”
"Hateful, so hateful!”
"That ancient corpse can't be used right now. What should I do?"
Yu Ye was currently extremely weak. He was afraid that he would be crushed to death by Li Ran!
Sensing that the distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer, he looked at the black vat on the ground beside him, a trace of determination flashing through his eyes.
"I can only go all out!"
Yu Ye used his last bit of strength to slam into the vat.
The black vat trembled for a moment before recovering its calm.
—
As Li Ran and Lin Langyue walked into the cave, the surroundings darkened.
In front of them was a spiraling stone step. There wasn't a single trace of it being spliced together, as if it had been carved right into the belly of the mountain.
There were no lights here, but it was not pitch black. Instead, the walls faintly glowed with radiant light, illuminating the road ahead.
They continued downwards.
The stone steps were extremely long, and after a while, they reached the end.
In front of them was an empty room.
Rather than calling it a room, it was more like a secret room. Other than the glowing green rocks, there was nothing else around.
Li Ran frowned.
He could no longer sense Yu Ye's aura.
"Strange…
"Li Ran, the walls here are empty!"
When Li Ran heard this, he walked over and knocked. Sure enough, waves of empty air rang out.
It seemed like there was still a space hidden behind the wall.
Just as he was about to tear down the wall violently, the entire room suddenly trembled.
Boom!
The stone wall in front of him collapsed, revealing a huge gap.
A foul, deathly silent aura spread out, and the temperature in the secret room rapidly dropped. Even their hair was covered in a layer of frost.
Lin Langyue pointed forward. "Li Ran, what's that?"
Li Ran looked over and saw that behind the collapsed stone wall was an enormous black vat that was upside down.
This was where the filthy aura came from.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the vat shook for a moment before exploding!
A pitch-black figure stood up, its eyes flickering with a faint green light as it silently stared at them.
Lin Langyue summoned her treasures as if she was facing a great enemy.
"No, this aura doesn't seem like Yu Ye." Li Ran frowned.
At this moment, a "ding" sounded in his mind, and a mission notification sounded.
【Mission issued.】
【The revival of a thousand-year-old ancient corpse is a sign of great danger. I am afraid that it will destroy all living beings in the Vast Land. Host, please take care of it! 】
"A thousand-year-old ancient corpse?"
Li Ran was stunned.
