Chapter 417 - The Mystic Yin Body (2/2)
Xiao Chen was shocked with a chill. It turned out that the soul body in the cave had noticed them already at an earlier time. It made sense. Red Sleeve had no soul, so it was difficult for her to perceive their presence. But the soul body in the hole could easily feel their existence.
Su Lianyue frowned and looked at Xiao Chen, who then nodded. Even if the other party didn’t notice him, Xiao Chen thought it was necessary to ask. Just now, the bad feeling was too intense. Red Sleeve had been concentrating on looking for a woman who was born on July 7th. Why did she want to do that…
They moved a little, and they instantly arrived at the entrance of the cave. The opening of the cave let the moonlight in. Thus, it was not pitch-dark in the cave. About three meters in it was a light Barrier, and there was an old man in red-robe standing inside the Barrier. With a wrinkly face, he seemed to have experienced many vicissitudes of life.
The old man coughed twice and asked with a husky voice, “No one has been here for three thousand years. How did you get in?”
Xiao Chen bowed and said, “We are very sorry that we disturbed you. She and I inadvertently broke in this area. But may I ask where this place is?”
“Alas…” The old man sighed and shook his head. “I was bound to this place by Red Sleeve with her energy of hatred. I don’t know either where this place is…”
A flash of light flashed across Xiao Chen’s eyes, and slowly, he continued to ask, “Then may I ask who is Red Sleeve?”
The old man sighed. “Red Sleeve, she, she is actually a poor person.” Speaking of this, he looked up at Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue and sighed. “Everything will come to an end soon. You… Please let her go. Let her go at ease…”
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. In fact, he did not quite understand what the old man meant. But judging by the old man’s look, Xiao Chen knew that he was not willing to reveal anything more about Red Sleeve. It would be useless for him to ask again.
The old man again said, “Alas, leave this place. Otherwise, you can never go out seven days later…”
Xiao Chen wanted to ask something, but it seemed that the old man didn’t want to say anything. So he clasped his hands to salute. “Thank you for reminding. We will leave now.”
“Wait!” Su Lianyue suddenly stopped him and then looked at the old man in the cave. “Senior, can you tell me anything about the Mystic Yin Body?”
The old man sighed and replied slowly, “The Mystic Yin Body is a very rare constitution in the world. The pure yang body is its opposite. A person with Mystic Yin Body may often feel cold. However, this person can withstand any coldness in this world. Red Sleeve wanted to find such a person with Mystic Yin Body. That was why she would repeatedly catch people to try…”
When Su Lianyue heard this, her body began to tremble slightly and her face turned a little pale. Then, the old man continued, “This kind of person has a stream of Mystic Yin Qi in the body. That is why the person is afraid of cold. If the Mystic Yin Qi is brought under control, this person can get a far much higher achievement than the ordinary people. But if this person cannot control it, this person’s life will usually be as short as twenty years.”
Su Lianyue’s face turned paler and paler, and she couldn’t help shaking. On her side, Xiao Chen frowned. He looked at her and then cupped his hands to salute to the old man. “Thank you for telling me, senior.” After this, he held Su Lianyue’s hands and pulled her away. Then, with the already stupefied Su Lianyue, he left the cave.
They returned to the previous cave. It was midnight now. Sitting in the cave, Su Lianyue wrapped her arms around her knees and gazed at the bonfire in front, lost in thought.
Xiao Chen looked at her and said, “You don’t have to worry too much. Even if you have a Mystic Yin Body, you may be able to control your Mystic Yin Qi.”
Looking up, Su Lianyue smiled at him and said, “You may rest assured. I’m fine.” Xiao Chen also nodded and smiled. “That’s great. And don’t forget that you can leave here tomorrow.”
…
Early the next morning, the sun had just risen. In the valley, birds of every kind were singing. When they walked to the entrance of the valley, both of them even felt a little reluctant to say goodbye. They could still remember the first day that they came here. The scene seemed to be still visible before their eyes… After taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen finally said, “Let’s go.”
Eventually, they arrived at the Death Valley that they were before. This place was still lifeless. But it seemed that the Negative Qi was much heavier today. Once again, they came to the gap of the chaos. Compared to the scene three months ago, there seemed to be no change here, and the Death Qi still seeped in little by little.
Xiao Chen looked at Su Lianyue. “Be careful. This time, I think we can open it together.”
“Okay!” Su Lianyue nodded. Then they stopped talking and began to run their cultivation methods. After a while, they struck with their palms at the same time. Then, two streaks of Mystic Power hit the gap together.
“Boom!”
The entire stone forest suddenly shook. But this time, they didn’t bounce off. Instead, a powerful suction force drew them in. When the surroundings became bright and clear again, they were already at the Summit of Mystics of the Corpse Refinery Sect.
All around was deathly still and had an intangible air of depressing. Su Lianyue cried out in alarm. “Look, Master Xiao!”
Then, Xiao Chen saw countless dead bodies lying on the roads in the distance. Even the branches were hung with dead bodies. The shapes of most dead bodies looked extremely weird and horrifying. There were the dead bodies of the disciples of the Corpse Refinery Sect and the Orthodox Path.
