Chapter 304: Chapter 258: Feiming Taoist 1

“Have you made any findings?”

As Chen Mobai was looking at Yan Jinye’s reply, Shan Hongyi also asked his disciple.

Master, Chen Uncle Master and I asked some cultivators nearby. They claimed that the Lonely Spirit Ridge was, a hundred years ago, the Cave Dwelling of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator named ‘Fei Ming Daoist’.”

‘He was adept at formations and techniques of corpse manipulation. Before his mysterious disappearance, he had a cultivation level of mid-Foundation Establishment and even had a record of battling late-Foundation Establishment and retreated intact. He was indeed a rather notorious figure among Loose Cultivators.”

Though this area has Rank-2 Spirit Vein, it was once an ancient battlefield tomb, and the corpse’s Qi polluted the Earth Vein. Therefore, after the disappearance of Fei Ming Daoist, not many Cultivators were willing to explore.”

After Yu Lian finished reporting the information he’d gathered, Shan Hongyi nodded and turned to Chen Mobai and Bi Yiyuan.

“Any suggestions, junior brothers?”

“We will follow your lead, elder brother.”

Chen Mobai repeated his usual statement, and Bi Yiyuan nodded in agreement. “Hmm, if Fei Ming Daoist was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in his lifetime, becoming a zombie after death, even after a century, he might have restored only to the Foundation Building Realm. The three of us working together should be more than enough to suppress him.”

The implication of Shan Hongyi’s words was that their next step would be to break in.

Right. There are also our two Junior Sisters inside. The five of us in the Foundation Establishment stage should be able to handle it, unless this Fei Ming Daoist has evolved into a golden zombie. Otherwise, he will forge my

Bi Yiyuan was also very confident.

Among the three, only Chen Mobai smiled without comment.

“You stay outside. If there are any unexpected situations, such as our inactivity for a long time, report straight back to the sect about this situation.”

Before going in, Shan Hongyi asked Yu Lian to stay behind, to which the latter naturally agreed.

After all, he had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment. If he is impacted by the residual energy from the clashes between Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he might be harmed.

“I’ll lead the way.”

Bi Yiyuan decisively took the lead and plunged into the cave. Chen Mobai followed in second.

Here m the Tianhe Realm, they used Luminous Pearls for illumination, which although considered a top treasure for mortals, is just a regular spiritual object for cultivators.

As soon as Chen Mobai entered the cave, he felt a chilling aura.

With a slight frown, Chen Mobai unfolded his “Red Misty Cloud Silk” from his wrist, transforming it into a faint mist that enveloped the three of them.

Seeing this, both Bi Yiyuan and Shan Hongyi were slightly taken aback.

“Junior Brother, since none of us are completely familiar with each other’s Divine Skills or Magic Artifacts, it will be best if you look after yourself first.” Only then did Chen Mobai realize that this was the custom among the Tianhe Sect.

He could not help but feel internally moved: even among fellow disciples, there was a distinct lack of trust.

Of course, he was more than willing to oblige, and so withdrew the Red Misty Cloud Silk to his side.

A copper sheen spread across Bi Yiyuan’s skin and a faint warmth radiated from his body. The chill in the air around them dissipated as Bi Yiyuan passed by, leaving the trailing Chen Mobai and Shan Hongyi feeling much more comfortable.

The three quickly reached a fork in the road.

Under normal circumstances, they might have split up here.

But Shan Hongyi once again launched a Message Talisman.

Follow this talisman, and it will lead us to Junior Sister Yan.”

Without waiting for his response, Bi Yiyuan already dashed into the cave entrance on the left. Chen Mobai’s brow briefly furrowed as he started smelling a faint, foul odor.

Could they be getting close to the Silver Armored Corpse’s lair?

“Outrageous beast!”

As he followed into the cave, he suddenly heard Bi Yiyuan yell, followed by a flash of copper light. A rotten, helmeted skull flew past them.

Red light flashed, and with a thought from Chen Mobai, the Red Misty Cloud

Silk around him transformed into a cover that swatted away the undead skull knocked flying by Bi Yiyuan.

It seems that this place is a natural breeding ground for zombies.”

Shan Hongyi’s voice echoed from behind him. At the same time, a streak of fire flared up, transforming into a crimson flame serpent that reduced three resurrecting zombies from the cave’s walls to ashes.

“Did Junior Sister Yan really pass through here?”

Using his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai scanned the surroundings of the cave and found no recent signs of battle.

“We have to be careful from now on. This Fei Ming Daoist was skilled at formations in his lifetime, so he may have rerouted his lair’s passages. The Message Talisman only flies in the shortest path towards Junior Sister Yan. This rigid weakness can easily be exploited.”

As Shan Hongyi spoke, Chen Mobai also launched another couple of “Red Flame Triple Sword Talisman”. The crossfire of six Sword Qi, together with the glistening purple Sword Glow, swept clean the zombies rising back to life from both sides of the cave.

“What should we do next? Advance or retreat?”

Meanwhile, at their front, Bi Yiyuan was not to be outdone, having somehow produced a Fine Iron Wolf-teeth Mace from his storage bag. As he swung it around, several zombies were smashed into fragments.

“Charge! With our powers, we can easily take down this cave dwelling!”

Upon seeing the Message Talisman’s faint glow about to disappear before them, Shan Hongyi made a swift decision.

“Good, you two, keep up!”

Upon hearing the words, Bi Yiyuan struck out with his Wolf Fang Club, sending six zombies in their path flying. Copper light bristled around him as he charged forward like an unstoppable copper figure.

Chen Mobai and Shan Hongyi activated talismans simultaneously. After quickly mopping up the area with their fire serpent and Sword Qi, they hurriedly closed the gap.

Bam Bam Bam!

They advanced and fought their way through.
