Chapter 25: Mu Rongyue’s Disappearance.

Mu Rongyue still wanted to ask something but Qin Yu made a shushing gesture with his finger. “Don’t make any noise and leave,” he whispered. After he spoke, he sped up once again.

Ahead, everything seemed to have turned black. Not only the petrified soldiers but even the soil and marble under their feet had turned pitch black.

As they walked, the penetrating, destructive, gloomy and cold air of death felt tangible. Naturally, Qin Yu was unafraid, however, Mu Rongyue couldn’t bear it. She hastily took out a Soul Protecting Pill from her sleeves.

The Soul Protecting Pill was able to hold back the Yin Demon’s corrosive qi for about a day.

“Da Ge, 1 the yin qi is very strong here. I have a Soul Protecting Pill here, do you…?” Mu Rongyue was worried that Qin Yu wouldn’t be able to endure and offered him a pill.

“You can keep it for yourself, I don’t need it,” replied Qin Yu. Suddenly, his footsteps halted as he stared straight ahead with an icy gaze.

“Huh?” Mu Rongyue also halted and stared ahead. Her eyes widened with astonishment as she gaped. Could the source of the Yin Demon’s qi be here?

The area ahead seemed to be separated by a transparent film. They could see the surging billows of demonic qi behind the transparent film. The demonic qi looked like a violent black cloud. It looked like there were many beasts that were violently fighting each other within the black fog.

The thick fog floated out of the cavern and surged outside. The Yin Demon’s qi that was outside originated from this place. Over the course of several hundred years, the area where the demonic qi accumulated outside formed the forbidden area.

Mu Rongyue’s face turned pale. Her voice contained a tremble as she asked, “Da Ge…is this the source of the Yin Demon’s qi?”

Qin Yu nodded. With a serious tone, he replied, “This should be the source. Stay here and wait for me, I’ll go take a look.”

“No! Da Ge, you absolutely cannot go inside! We still don’t know what’s inside there. What if…?” Mu Rongyue didn’t want anything to happen to Qin Yu. If something happened to him, who would help her command the hundred thousand soldiers ah? Of course, she was also worried about him.

“It’s all right, I’ll bring some godly soldiers inside with me.” Qin Yu looked at the pitch black soldiers beside him and extended his hand. He placed them into the space ring one by one. In case something happened, they could be used for defense.

Qin Yu’s face was grave as he said, “Xiao Yue, wait for me here. If I don’t come out within four hours then just leave by yourself.”

Mu Rongyue saw that even Qin Yu himself was not confident that he would return safely. She didn’t understand why he still wanted to take such risks. But then again, she wasn’t aware that within Qin Yu’s sea of consciousness, the Earth Spirit Pearl was currently going wild, which was why Qin Yu had no choice but to go and take a look.

Besides, a cultivator’s path would always be filled with danger. Every danger one faced could be a chance to learn from a life and death experience. Without doing something with your life on the line, growth would be very slow. Furthermore, cowering in the face of danger was not Xie Di’s style.

“No! Da Ge, if you want to go in then I’m going in with you!” Mu Rongyue also threw caution to the wind and decided to go with Qin Yu.

“Eh?” Qin Yu felt somewhat awkward. If they encountered anything dangerous inside, he wouldn’t even have enough time to save himself. So how could he look after a girl?

“Da Ge, don’t forget that my cultivation is higher than yours.” Upon seeing Qin Yu’s unwillingness, Mu Rongyue stepped forward and spoke before he could. With a firm tone, she said, “If you don’t let me go with you, then I’ll just enter after you leave.”

*Sweats*

Qin Yu didn’t think that this girl would be so tough.

“Fine, but you have to be very careful.”

Since Mu Rongyue insisted on going in, Qin Yu had nothing else to say. After nodding in consent, he took a step forward and entered the world of darkness.

As soon as he entered, a frightening black storm immediately engulfed him. It caused his long hair and robes to dance madly in the wind. If he wasn’t a cultivator, he might’ve been blown away by the wind!

Mu Rongyue also walked in behind him. Apart from having to withstand the violent wind, she also had to endure the terrifying yin qi invading her body. 2 Even though she had the Soul Protecting Pills, she could still be affected by the yin qi, unlike Qin Yu who was unaffected by the yin poison. The yin qi behind the transparent film was far purer than the yin qi outside so it was even more lethal.

“Da Ge, where are you?”

Even though she was a cultivator, she could hardly see anything around her.

“I’m over here. Quick, grab my hand!” Qin Yu replied with a shout.
