Chapter 197 Corpses everywhere

The following year, April.

"How could this happen?"

In the dim underground passage, the black-clothed boy frowned and muttered to himself. The boy looked about 24 or 25 years old, with a tall figure, starry eyes, and extraordinary momentum.

In the passage in front of him, there were several shriveled corpses lying crookedly. These corpses died in strange ways. Although their faces were shriveled, it was not difficult to see from their wide-open eyes that the dead seemed to have been frightened.

"It shouldn't be like this. Even if it's been a year, it would at most rot, not dry like this, right?"

The boy squatted down, took out the dagger from his waist, and gently lifted the sleeve of a corpse. He found that there was only a layer of gray-black dead skin left on the arm, which was very different from a normal dead body.

It looked like the blood soul flag had sucked out blood, but even if it was the blood soul flag, it was impossible to suck a corpse like this?

"It's weird!"

The boy shook his head, stood up with a serious look, and continued to walk forward.

The young man was Lu Li, who had been in seclusion for nearly a year. He came out half a month ago. During this journey, he didn't see a single living person, but he saw no less than fifty corpses with strange deaths. This made him feel that this matter might not be that simple.

Moreover, all of these fifty-plus corpses were wearing the badges of the Blood Evil Alliance. It was unknown whether someone deliberately targeted the Blood Evil Alliance or just happened to meet them. Those who entered the Demon Sealing Abyss were all elites of the Blood Evil Alliance. It was really regrettable to lose so many at once.

"Huh?"

After walking for a while, Lu Li found three more corpses, but this time they were not from the Blood Evil Alliance. All of them were wearing gray robes and wearing gray skull badges on their chests, which made Lu Li even more confused.

Before they set out, they all learned about the symbols of each sect. It seemed that none of the seven major forces had such badges, right? Could it be that a new force had entered the Demon Sealing Abyss this year?

"If that's the case, this battle for the spirit stone might be much more dangerous than I imagined."

Lu Li sighed secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but hesitate whether to continue to go deeper.

At this time, he has reached the perfection of the Heavenly Realm. If he withdraws now, even if he does not get the spirit stones, it will be a worthwhile trip.

However, spirit veins are too rare. If he misses this opportunity, it may not be so easy to get a large number of spirit stones again. Thinking of this, Lu Li was a little unwilling to leave like this.

"Forget it, wealth and honor are sought in danger. With my perfect cultivation in the Heavenly Realm, as long as I am careful, there should be no problem."

Lu Li encouraged himself and continued to fly forward at a faster speed.

As Lu Li went deeper and deeper, the corpses in the passage increased. These corpses were not only the Blood Evil League and those gray-robed people, but also some people wearing strange clothes and disciples of the Xuanjian Sect.

In total, he had seen no less than 500 corpses along the way. He didn't know what happened, but it was so tragic. Moreover, this was only the passage he walked through. There might be more in other places.

Although these corpses belonged to different forces, they were all the same as those he had seen before, all with shriveled skin and flesh.

This made Lu Li sigh at the cruelty of the competition for spirit stones, and he felt that there was a big problem.

He suspected that there was a person with great means hiding in the dark, secretly using evil weapons to reap the benefits.

If there really was such a person, it would be too scary. His extreme cultivation was not necessarily safe. With this thought, Lu Li became very cautious when walking, fearing that someone would attack him in secret.

Lu Li was the only one who could be as cowardly as him. He was obviously the top existence in the Demon Sealing Abyss, but he was still very vigilant. How could those who were in the seventh or eighth level of Qi training jump up and down and acted like the best in the world?

After walking for another three days.

Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting in front.

Lu Li quickly used the invisibility technique to cover up his breath, and then carefully looked forward along the stone wall. All he saw along the way were corpses. Now he finally saw living people fighting, which made him feel more intimate.

At the same time, he also wanted to see who was hiding in the dark and doing the evil thing of taking advantage of the fisherman.

Following Lu Li's gaze, he could see that there were five people in black and six men and women in white fighting in front.

At first glance, he thought that the people from the Blood Evil League and the Heavenly Dao League were fighting. After a closer look, he found that the five people in black were not from the Blood Evil League, because the badges on their chests were red and black coffins, not blood-colored daggers.

Lu Li was too familiar with this badge. Wasn't it from the Daze Yinshi Sect?

I didn't expect that the people from the Yinshi Sect would also come here. They were really going to have a big hodgepodge.

What shocked Lu Li was that these five Yinshi Sect disciples were all at the tenth level of Qi training. This was beyond his expectation. He had spent a lot of time in the Yinshi Sect. How could he have seen so many people at the tenth level of Qi training?

Even Wu Si, who was chasing him and was known as the Seven Martial Evils, was only at the ninth level of Qi training.

What happened to the Yinshi Sect during this time? Why did so many masters emerge? Or did the Yinshi Sect already have so many masters, but he just didn't notice them?

While Lu Li was thinking, the battle in front of him had come to an end.

The five Yinshi Sect masters drove the corpse puppets in tacit cooperation, and finally gained the upper hand at the cost of two for five. The remaining three were staring fiercely at the last white-clothed woman of the Tiandao League.

The woman in white had a high level of cultivation, she was actually at the eleventh level, but unfortunately her five teammates were too weak, they were only at the eighth level of Qi training, so even if they tried their best, they could not save their five teammates.

Her five teammates were beaten to pieces, and died miserably.

Moreover, in order to save her teammates, she was surrounded by several corpse puppets and suffered a lot of injuries. At this time, she was already vomiting blood, and it was obvious that she was already at the end of her strength.

Three Yinshi Sect disciples stood at both ends of the passage, and without any nonsense, they drove the corpse puppets to attack the woman in white. At the same time, the three of them were not idle. As the corpse puppets rushed forward, they desperately greeted the woman with high-level talismans.

Although these talismans were only high-level and could not hurt the opponent, they were still good for making the opponent flustered and covering their own corpse puppets’ attack.

As expected, the woman in white, who was bombarded with various talismans, was immediately exhausted and was attacked by two corpse puppets from the front and back. She was hit at the same time and spurted out another mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, the three Yinshi Sect disciples were all delighted and retreated a little further, continuing to control the corpse puppets.

Why did they retreat even though they had the upper hand? Even Lu Li had to admire their rich combat experience.

Because the woman was obviously forced into a desperate situation. If the opponent had a trump card, he would definitely use it at this time. If they were a little careless, someone would definitely be dragged to be buried with them.

Facts have proved that their decision was not wrong. When the woman in white saw the three retreating, a trace of unwillingness flashed across her face. Then she waved her hand, and a black arrow flashed with dazzling golden light and flew out from her sleeves with a whoosh.

Then with a click, it pierced into the forehead of a corpse puppet in front of her.

This was not the end. The moment the arrow entered the center of the corpse's brow, the golden light on the arrow surged like the blazing sun, and with a bang, it blew the head of the bronze-armored corpse in front of it into pieces.

"Ah——!"

As the corpse fell to the ground, one of the three people who retreated covered his head and screamed!
