Chapter 12718 The Real Reason for Guarding the Cemetery

Chapter 12718 The Real Reason for Guarding the Cemetery
In the center of the cemetery, there is a huge altar, on which are placed the remains of powerful men.

Although these remains have lost their vitality, they still exude a powerful aura that makes people dare not look directly at them.

Around the altar, various mysterious magic tools and elixirs are placed. They emit a faint light, which contrasts with the remains on the altar, forming a strange and spectacular picture.

"Your task is very simple, which is to clean these tombstones every day. The rest of the time is at your own disposal." Liu Yu stood at the entrance of the cemetery, with a bit of worry in his eyes. After all, the cemetery was filled with extremely yin energy, and even someone with his level of cultivation would feel uncomfortable after entering it.

Ling Xiao smiled at Liu Yu, expressed his gratitude, and then stepped into the cemetery without hesitation. Seeing this, Liu Yu shook his head, turned around and left, but in his heart he was worried about Ling Xiao.

As for why Ling Xiao left and came back, there are unknown reasons.

When he was about to leave Tianxiahui, an ancient and vicissitudes of life voice sounded in his magic needle space. It was the voice of the Demon Soul King, a person he had never met but who was of vital importance at this moment.

The Demon Soul King told him that the secret to opening the Demon Soul Sect was hidden in this mausoleum. The Yin Demon Qi here was extremely poisonous to others, but it was an excellent resource for demon cultivators to cultivate. The effect of cultivating here was far better than in the Lower House.

Ling Xiao has always been a person who would not do anything without profit, so he would not miss such a benefit. He knew that if he could open up the Demon Soul Sect and allow the Demon Soul King's clone to appear, his strength would be greatly improved. He would also be more confident in facing future dangers.

Moreover, the cultivation conditions here are so excellent that he will probably be able to break through to the Unbreakable Realm soon. This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Ling Xiao. He has always been troubled by the improvement of his cultivation. Now that he has such an opportunity, he will naturally not let it go.

So, Ling Xiao began to practice madly. As for the tombstone, whoever wanted to clean it could do so. It was none of his business. He came here purely to practice, not to be punished.

Anyway, no one dares to come into this place easily, so what if he is lazy?

Time flies, and a month passes in a flash. During this month, Ling Xiao almost forgot to eat and sleep, constantly absorbing the evil spirit in the cemetery and practicing his magic skills.

Finally, he sensed the existence of the Demon Soul King, and the path to the Demon Soul Sect gradually became clear. Ling Xiao was very excited, he knew that if he was given another month, the Demon Soul Sect would appear.

What excited him most was that the breakthrough he had been waiting for had finally arrived. After a month of crazy practice, his cultivation level had directly increased from the Primordial Realm to the Endless Realm, and he had reached the third level of the Endless Realm in one fell swoop.

This huge improvement made Ling Xiao feel extremely excited. He knew that this was mainly due to the huge amount of energy he had accumulated before. Now, his cultivation was strong enough that he could crush a strong man of the third level of the Primordial Realm, and he had a great chance of winning against a strong man of the fourth level of the Primordial Realm.

Such an improvement is undoubtedly a huge leap for Ling Xiao. He feels that his strength has been greatly enhanced, and he is full of confidence in the challenges ahead.

However, just when Ling Xiao was immersed in the joy of his breakthrough, the cemetery suddenly welcomed uninvited guests. This place was always dark and gloomy, and ordinary people avoided it as much as possible, but at this moment, four figures quietly appeared.

There were four of them, three young men and a beautiful woman. The men were all tall and handsome, with extraordinary temperament.

However, Ling Xiao had no interest in the three followers. His eyes fell on the woman who was as white as a lotus.

Her skin is as white as snow, her eyes are as clear as water, and her appearance is absolutely beautiful, like a blooming white lotus, elegant and refined. Her temperament is even more unique, with both the gentleness of a woman and a faint heroic spirit, which makes people unforgettable at first sight.

However, Ling Xiao could tell at a glance that this kind of woman was very good at pretending.

"Who dares to trespass into the cemetery!" Ling Xiao saw someone breaking in. Although he felt strange, he still walked over. He moved his body and blocked the four people, shouting in a deep voice.

Although Ling Xiao is just hanging around here, he still has the responsibility to protect the cemetery, so he still has to do the face-saving work.

The woman who looked like a white lotus took out an exquisite waist badge from her waist and said softly: "My name is Bai Lian, and I am a disciple of the Upper House. This time I have come here on the orders of the Upper House to check the situation in the cemetery." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, but there was a hint of unquestionable majesty in her tone.

Ling Xiao was slightly startled when he heard this, and then glanced at the waist badge calmly. He didn't know the overall strength of the disciples in the upper house, but judging from the aura of these four people, they were obviously no match for him.

The disciples in the upper house are somewhat disappointing.

"Whose orders are you following?" Ling Xiao asked calmly. He didn't take these four pieces of trash seriously at all. He asked this question purely because he wanted to find more information from their answers.

However, Bai Lian did not answer his question directly. Instead, she glanced at him coldly and said, "This is not something you should know!" There was a hint of dissatisfaction and contempt in her voice, as if Ling Xiao's question violated her taboo.

At this time, a young disciple suddenly interrupted and said, "Senior Sister Bai Lian, this guy has never cleaned the tombstones. Look at those tombstones, there is a layer of fallen leaves on them. This guy is slacking off. He must be severely punished!" He pointed at the tombstones in the cemetery and loudly accused Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao frowned when he heard this. He did not clean the tombstone according to Liu Yu's request, but this did not mean that he had not fulfilled his responsibility to protect the cemetery.

He practiced here every day, using the Yin Demon Qi to improve his cultivation, which was the most important thing to him. As for trivial matters such as cleaning the tombstone, he really didn't have the heart to care about it.

"Shouldn't you give an explanation?" Bai Lian looked at Ling Xiao coldly and said.

"How can you be nosy when you are trying to seduce me? Explain to you? Who do you think you are!" Ling Xiao glanced coldly at Bai Lian and the others, his voice full of disdain, "I am the guardian of the cemetery. I am the boss here. Don't even think about changing anything, not to mention you losers. Even if the big guys from the upper house come, don't even think about changing anything."

His words were sonorous and powerful, as if declaring his sovereignty.

For him, there was only one purpose for staying in Tianxiahui, and that was this mausoleum. He didn't care about anything else. Therefore, he was not afraid of offending anyone, including Bai Lian and the upper house disciples in front of him.

"you wanna die!"

Hearing Ling Xiao's words, a young warrior instantly became furious. He roared and rushed towards Ling Xiao like lightning, with the long sword in his hand flashing with cold light, obviously wanting to teach Ling Xiao a lesson.
