Chapter 111: Fear From the Soul

“Meng Yuxin, the remnant of the Heretic Sect from a thousand years ago. She’s also the true Heretic Saintess recognized by the entire Heretic Sect in the past hundred years. In fact, there are even rumors that her talent is far greater than the Heretic Saintess’s from a thousand years ago.” Jian Xin looked at the young lady on the throne of tens of thousands of corpses, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

Jian Xin was obviously tortured by Meng Yuxin before he was slowly killed. Even his most beloved Su Lingyun died because of Meng Yuxin. But because of the orders in his mind, he couldn’t bring himself to hate Meng Yuxin!

“When I saw her again, I should have risked my life and burned my spiritual energy to destroy my Dao foundation to take revenge. However, there is nothing called hatred in my heart. Perhaps this is the evidence that I am a zombie, a walking corpse.” Jian Xin smiled bitterly. He was able to show concern for Zhou Yun and continue to show his feelings. It was to the extent that he thought that death was just a dream.

Now it seemed that he had been too naïve.

Perhaps even the feelings that he thought he had were only given to him by Meng Yuxin.

“Brother Zhou Yun, will we become like Senior Brother Jian Xin in the future?” Seeing Jian Xin’s state, Qiao’er squeezed into Zhou Yun’s arms in fear.

Zhou Yun could feel Jian Xin’s despair. His greatest enemy was in front of him, but other than despair, he had no other emotions. Even his feelings were fabricated by others. No wonder such an existence would be given the name of a zombie.

Zhou Yun swore that he would definitely escape from Meng Yuxin’s hands. Even if he had to die, he would never turn into a zombie!

Under Jian Xin’s lead, the three of them finally stepped onto the mountain of spiritual corpses. Zhou Yun supported Qiao’er as they stepped on the mountain of spiritual corpses. The disgusting and cold feeling of spiritual corpses and undead mixed under their feet could be felt.

Zhou Yun furrowed his brows. This cold feeling was Corpse Qi!

Ordinary Corpse Qi would at most cause a mortal to fall sick and have a fever, and would not be able to get close to cultivators with vigorous qi and blood!

However, on this mountain of spiritual corpses, countless dead souls and corpses were densely packed. It was more than just the resentment of ten thousand people before their deaths! This caused the Corpse Qi to be so violent that it could even corrode Zhou Yun’s fire essence body!

Zhou Yun secretly circulated his spiritual energy throughout his body. The fire essence body was a body of extreme yang, so it easily dispelled the extremely cold Corpse Qi.

Qiao’er’s face paled as she felt the Corpse Qi enter her body. Qiao’er gritted her teeth and activated the phoenix blood in her body to counteract the Corpse Qi. It took her a lot of spiritual energy to get rid of the Corpse Qi in her body.

Zhou Yun and Qiao’er looked at each other. They had thought that this mountain of spiritual corpses was just a display of Meng Yuxin’s strength, but they didn’t expect it to have other uses!

When Zhou Yun was facing a spiritual corpse of the same level, he could easily kill it. Now, in the face of this mountain of spiritual corpses, he had only stepped on an ordinary spiritual corpse’s body, but the Corpse Qi on it had to be dispelled by the spiritual energy of his fire source body.

This spiritual corpse had not just been strengthened by a little!

Could it be that Meng Yuxin was planning to use the mountain of spiritual corpses to face the disciples of the five sects? However, even if the five sect leaders were to attack together, Zhou Yun did not think that they would be able to face this mountain of spiritual corpses!

This was because Zhou Yun realized that apart from the foundation establishment spiritual corpses they were stepping on, there were also golden core stage spiritual corpses in many places! In Zhou Yun’s line of sight, he could see more than seventy golden core spiritual corpses!

This was a 10000-meter-tall mountain! There were definitely more golden core stage spiritual corpses than he could see!

If there really were so many golden core spiritual corpses in every area, then even if the five sects were to use their heads to fight, they wouldn’t be able to win!

Where did this heretic cultivator, Meng Yuxin, come from? Zhou Yun was restraining his strength even more. Before he could figure out Meng Yuxin’s true strength, he would definitely not reveal it!

Jian Xin led Zhou Yun and Qiao’er toward Meng Yuxin’s throne of corpses. He carefully avoided the golden core corpses on the ground. The three of them were very careful, and it took them a while to reach the throne of corpses.

Zhou Yun realized that the closer Jian Xin got to Meng Yuxin, the less expression he had on his face. When the three of them walked in front of Meng Yuxin, there was no expression on Jian Xin’s face. His pupils were unfocused, as if he was a puppet without any intelligence!

“Plop!” Jian Xin walked in front of Meng Yuxin. Without hesitation, he knelt down in front of Meng Yuxin.

Zhou Yun watched all of this quietly. He pulled Qiao’er, who was in his arms, to stop her from doing anything unnecessary.

The chief disciple of Spirit Valley had been tortured to death by the heretic cultivator, and after his death, he had become a slave to the heretic cultivator for eternity. This was simply the most tragic ending in the immortal cultivation world!

“Master, I’ve brought the prodigies you wanted, Zhou Yun and Qiao’er. The two of them were acknowledged by Venerable Xunling. When they break through to the golden core stage, Venerable Xunling will appear.” After Jian Xin knelt, he lowered his head and said.

Meng Yuxin didn’t respond from her throne of corpses. Zhou Yun looked over and realized that another man was standing beside Meng Yuxin.

The man was holding a five-meter-tall golden jade spear and was three meters tall. He wore a collar around his neck, and the rope on the collar was made from the bones of dozens of children.

Meng Yuxin was holding the other end of the rope. She seemed to be looking into the distance, not noticing Jian Xin and Zhou Yun’s arrival.

“Could it be that he’s a senior brother from the Autumn Path School? I think I saw the missing person notice from the Autumn Path School on the Treasure Pavilion’s mission board. I didn’t expect to see him here.” Qiao’er said in a low voice.

Zhou Yun nodded slightly. He could feel a strong blood aura from the three-meter-tall man. This person was most likely on the path of body cultivation. This method was extremely difficult to cultivate, but once it was successfully cultivated, one would be invincible in the same stage!

It looked like Meng Yuxin had captured another heaven’s favorite. Could it be that the disciples of the five sects were like playthings that Meng Yuxin could casually capture? Zhou Yun was puzzled. Didn’t the five sects have absolute control over the world?

However, when Zhou Yun felt the Corpse Qi beneath his feet again and saw the mountain of spiritual corpses that was ten thousand meters tall, his doubts were dispelled.

Meng Yuxin had the power to annihilate the five sects at any time, so it would be a piece of cake for her to capture any prodigy she wanted.

However, Zhou Yun was even more curious as to why Meng Yuxin hadn’t destroyed the five sects. Instead, she had allowed the five sects to kill her in public.

Zhou Yun had not forgotten what Jian Xin had said. Meng Yuxin wanted to give up this world and the countless spiritual corpses that she had painstakingly nurtured so that the five sects could achieve a great victory in annihilating the heretic cultivators!

Just as Zhou Yun’s mind was filled with even more questions, Meng Yuxin, who was sitting on the throne of corpses, finally moved.

Her unfocused pupils moved slightly, as if they could see through the flesh and directly into the soul of living beings.

Zhou Yun could feel Meng Yuxin’s “gaze” on him!
