Heaven Has The Virtue Of Cherishing Life
Lin Luochen looked around, discovering a group of Class B disciples glaring like a tiger, and couldn’t help but frown.
After they left the Ancient Tomb, they re-entered the main tomb of the Great Qian Holy Emperor.
Lin Luochen and the others used the coffin lid to protect themselves, while Qu Lingyin controlled the corpse beauty to fight their way out.
Unfortunately, the tomb door was still sealed. They spent some time in the tomb before finding a large hole in the corner of a wall.
The hole in the wall was exactly the same as those in the Ancient Tomb, clearly dug out by the Ancient Evil Spirit.
But they didn’t care much, and crawled out from it, using all their strength to climb back up.
Unexpectedly encountering these robbers surprised Lin Luochen, who couldn’t help but glance at Lan Shuiyun.
After all, they had already shaken off their pursuers, and only Lan Shuiyun should know about this tomb!
Lan Shuiyun felt guilty and hurriedly shouted, “How did you find this place? Were you following us?”
Xie Cheng understood and sneered, “This fairy, you wouldn’t think you could shake us off, would you?”
Lin Luochen chuckled inwardly and said calmly, “What are your intentions? You can’t be welcoming us, can you?”
Xie Cheng saw that there were only four of them and immediately felt relieved.
“Of course not. Xie would like to borrow a few things from you all. I hope you will grant this.”
Li Gousheng waved his hand, releasing a corpse puppet, gripping the greatsword in his hand, and sneered repeatedly.
“If you want to rob, just say so. Don’t waste your time. You’re not professional. If you have the guts, come ask your Grandpa Gousheng!”
Xie Cheng’s face turned black from the retort, and he coldly said, “Since you’re being unreasonable, don’t blame us for being impolite! Attack!”
With his order, several disciples around him controlled over a dozen corpse puppets and swarmed forward, their posture quite intimidating.
However, among the dozen or so corpse puppets, only two were silver corpses; the rest were merely iron corpses, posing little threat.
The formation Xie Cheng and the others had set up beforehand shrouded the surroundings in a mist, with various phantoms appearing endlessly within.
Lin Luochen said in a deep voice, “Break the formation and fight our way out!”
Li Gousheng and the others responded, releasing their corpse puppets, wielding weapons, and fiercely attacking.
Lan Shuiyun let out a sharp cry, charging towards Xie Cheng, while constantly giving him the eye.
Xie Cheng thought she was trying to gain the trust of Lin Luochen and the others, so he pretended to fight back.
A strange light flashed in Lan Shuiyun’s eyes, and she engaged him in a seemingly evenly matched fight.
Lin Luochen faced five corpses, while various flying swords, magical treasures, and spells rained down on him.
He seemed to be particularly hated, with most of the attacks subconsciously directed at him.
Lin Luochen cursed inwardly, waved his hand, and an ice coffin appeared, blocking the overwhelming attack.
“Lingyin!”
The corpse beauty in the coffin instantly opened her eyes, and Qu Lingyin took control of her body, leaping out from within.
Having established the soul imprint, she no longer needed to make contact to take control of the corpse beauty’s body.
In an instant, Qu Lingyin sent several corpse puppets flying, like a tiger among sheep, unbeatable.
If she wasn’t afraid of her actions being too shocking and causing a misunderstanding, Qu Lingyin would have already slaughtered them.
Even so, Xie Cheng and the others were terrified, wondering how this kid had released such a beauty.
What’s more terrifying was that this beauty possessed the strength of the Golden Core Realm!
Seeing Xie Cheng distracted, Lan Shuiyun’s eyes flashed with cold light. Thunder instantly surged on her sword as she struck down.
“Die!”
Xie Cheng never expected her to suddenly attack, and was caught off guard, being sent flying.
“Bitch, you…”
But before he could finish, Lan Shuiyun’s sword flew out, dozens of thunder swords falling like rain.
Although vines quickly sprouted from under Xie Cheng’s feet to protect him, the violent thunder destroyed them effortlessly.
Wood chips flew everywhere, the smell of burning wood filled the air, and Lan Shuiyun, transformed into a thunder light, pierced Xie Cheng’s chest with her sword.
Xie Cheng tried to ask why, but Lan Shuiyun gave him no chance, decisively killing him.
With Xie Cheng dead, the formation immediately crumbled, and Lin Luochen and the others attacked ferociously.
The disciples desperately tried to trap them with the corpse puppets, someone shouting angrily.
“Lan Shuiyun, you actually betrayed us!”
Lan Shuiyun directly attacked the speaker, sneering, “You’re about to die, and you still dare to sow discord?”
Li Gousheng hurriedly shouted, “Fairy Shuiyun, we believe you!”
Regardless of which side she was on before, at least she was on their side now.
Sword light surrounded Lin Luochen as he stepped the Eight Trigrams Dragon Steps, constantly moving through the battlefield, the disciples unable to touch him.
As he waited for an opportunity, he noticed something was wrong with Qin Tao.
This guy’s attack methods were completely different from before, seemingly somewhat strange, and his eyes were much more sinister.
Before Lin Luochen could think further, Qu Lingyin had already cut through the battlefield, directly breaking the formation.
Her Golden Core Realm cultivation, combined with her attack methods, was a devastating blow.
The disciples were terrified and, seeing the formation broken, scattered like birds and beasts.
Lan Shuiyun and the others wanted to pursue, but Lin Luochen laughed, “Don’t pursue a fleeing enemy. Heaven is benevolent; let’s give them a way out!”
Li Gousheng collected the spoils of war, while earnestly advising him.
“Brother Lin, you’re too kind-hearted. That won’t work in the Demonic Path!”
Lin Luochen smiled without speaking, silently picking up the storage bags on the ground.
Only Lan Shuiyun understood his meaning, secretly cursing the guy’s viciousness.
This wasn’t kindness; it was clearly an attempt to use others to kill!
After all, compared to the powerful Lin Luochen, the disciples probably resented her the most.
Lin Luochen did indeed think so; after all, traitors are always the most hated!
At that moment, he noticed the lingering soul behind Li Gousheng floating down, bowing to him.
“Thank you, little friends, for taking this old man away. Little friend, beware of that Life Stealing Ghost over there. Farewell.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man instantly dissipated into a wisp of soul light, his power flowing towards Li Gousheng and Lin Luochen.
Li Gousheng exclaimed in surprise, “Eh? Why do I feel so much lighter, and my realm has improved?”
Lin Luochen also completely stabilized at Foundation Establishment level four, understanding that the lingering soul’s obsession was likely to be taken away from this tomb.
Thinking of what the lingering soul had said, he glanced at Qin Tao and found his eyes gloomy, indeed somewhat strange.
“Lingyin, what is a Life Stealing Ghost?”
Qu Lingyin explained, “The Life Stealing Ghost was the one who patted your shoulder and made your Yang Fire appear.”
“This type of evil spirit can devour the host’s soul, steal their memories, and usurp their place.”
Lin Luochen hesitated, “But I clearly felt that he had real hatred for Lan Shuiyun!”
Qu Lingyin said calmly, “Having devoured Qin Tao’s memories, in a sense, he is Qin Tao!”
“Moreover, to achieve as much spiritual and physical unity as possible, the host must leave without regrets!”
Lin Luochen extrapolated, “Is it the same with you and the corpse beauty?”
Qu Lingyin hummed, “More or less. Otherwise, the remaining consciousness of the body would constantly reject it.”
Lin Luochen suddenly realized, stepped onto his flying sword, and calmly said, “Let’s go, back to Corpse Yin Sect!”
Qu Lingyin curiously asked, “Not killing him?”
Lin Luochen smiled knowingly, “Why kill him? There’s no benefit. It’s better to watch them fight.”
Qu Lingyin burst into laughter, “That’s true. It would just be a simple matter to kill him.”
At noon the next day, on the plaza in front of the Corpse Yin Hall.
Zhao Shouren and the others were neatly assembled in the plaza. Su Yuyao looked at the other elders in the square, pouting in frustration.
These elders had heard that this year’s assessment produced an incredible genius and had come to poach him, all competitors.
A gloomy young man asked, “I heard that this Lin Luochen was brought back by Junior Sister Yuyao?”
True Person Cuiyin chuckled, “Yes, Yuyao rarely wants to take a disciple!”
The man said with interest, “Then I must see what kind of outstanding person he is, to make Junior Sister Yuyao want to take him as a disciple.”
Su Yuyao said unhappily, “Jiang Li, this has nothing to do with you. Just mind your own business.”
The man named Jiang Li merely smiled, “I’m just curious. I won’t compete with you.”
Su Yuyao curled her lip, “Better be that way!”
After a while, a stream of light flew back; it was Elder Xu returning first.
“Sect Master!”
Elder Xu bowed to Zhao Shouren, then moved his lips slightly, sending a telepathic message.
Zhao Shouren was surprised but still nodded, leaving Su Yuyao puzzled.
After a moment, Lin Luochen and the others also returned to the Corpse Yin Sect and were brought before the plaza, bowing neatly.
“Disciples greet the Sect Master!”
Zhao Shouren nodded, “You returned safely. Have you refined the silver corpses?”
Lin Luochen and the others took out the refined silver corpses. Soon, elders came forward to check them and nodded to Zhao Shouren.
Zhao Shouren nodded in satisfaction and smiled grimly, “Congratulations to all of you for passing the assessment!”
“But before officially joining, you must have your bones examined by the Bone Mirror again, to prevent any evil spirits from infiltrating!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Luochen became thoughtful.
Sure enough, some elders were secretly following them. He must have aroused suspicion.
Lan Shuiyun couldn’t help but feel a little panicked. Had she shown any sign?
No, she only awakened her past life memories. Don’t panic, don’t panic.
Qin Tao’s face was pale, with countless curses running through his mind.
In his memory, there was clearly no such procedure, otherwise, he wouldn’t have thrown himself into the net.
Of the four, only Li Gousheng was the most calm, looking unconcerned.
