Chapter 301: Dont Make Mouth Shapes At Me (2/2)

“We’ll know once we visit the central world!” Lu Yun nodded slowly. “However, I’m still interested in the tombs of yin and yang. Let’s go check out what’s so special about Su Xiaoxiao, the ancient poison doctor!”

With that, he pushed all the unanswered questions aside. No matter where Levitating Island had fallen from, or who’d been involved in the incident, this was a tomb, and all tombs fell under Lu Yun’s expertise.

Hum.

A sudden buzz unfurled underwater, creating an imperceptibly faint ripple. Corpses who’d died prematurely turned around in unison, staring at Lu Yun with their rotten eyes.

“Dang it, we’ve entered the real tomb.” Goosebumps popped up on Lu Yun’s arms as he looked at the bodies around him. “I, er, accidentally broke a rule.”

“What rule?” Qing Han had noticed the reaction of the bodies, but he’d gotten used to such sights after experiencing through the Avici Cell layout in the Dao Flower’s tomb and drifting on the Blood Sea for three months.

“The name of the tomb owner mustn’t be invoked in their resting place, or evil will come knocking,” Lu Yun said slowly. He hadn’t realized that they’d entered the real tomb; all of these bodies were buried for the poison doctor!

Gurgle!

Inky black yin energy sprayed out from the bodies, dying the local vicinity black. The group’s newly restored vision darkened again.

“Hehehe...” Chilling, bleak laughter rang in their ears.

“Daggone it, who blew into my ear?!” the Deaf Prince yelled and jumped. “Was it you, little fox?!”

“Don’t move!” Lu Yun said in a trembling voice. “It’s an immortal ghost!”

Yueshen was an immortal ghost raised with the Ninefilia Specter Fostering Method. Their kind was terrifying.

Lu Yun had managed to tame Yueshen with the help of hell and the Tome of Life and Death, but yin energy ran too densely here. The various grudges, yin energy, and the vicious energy of countless dead had created a standalone ecosystem in this tomb.

And since his cultivation was too low, he couldn’t tap into the full power of the Tome of Life and Death and channel strength from hell itself. Hence, he couldn’t tame this immortal ghost.

Within the Ninefilia Specter Fostering formation of the burial mound, Yueshen could kill ten Qing Quans without difficulty. The Qing dao immortal had seriously injured Yueshen in their previous battle and almost scattered her only because that fight had taken place in the daytime, and the environment had weakened her greatly.

However, Lu Yun couldn’t release Yueshen here in someone else’s tomb. If ghosts born of two different tombs came face to face, they might summon an even worse terror. Unless, of course, there was a man of Li Youcai’s special constitution that could be possessed by Yueshen.

A stark white face came close to the Deaf Prince and whispered unintelligibly in his ear.

“An immortal ghost?” the Deaf Prince asked in confusion. “Why would it blow into my ear?”

He turned and saw the sickly face, which flashed him an unearthly smile. “I… will… eat… you...”

Scalp tingling, Qing Han and the little fox nervously turned to Lu Yun; he didn’t move a muscle.

“What did you say?” The Deaf Prince blinked.

“I… will… eat… you...” its voice grew unsteady as it continued. “Pureblood xiangliu!”

“Are you mocking me?!” The Deaf Prince glared furiously. “Out with it!”

The immortal ghost paused.

A vicious ghost could manifest their true form and hurt people with their innate energy, but an immortal ghost was different. It had to fool their prey’s senses and tap into their greatest fear to influence them.

When Yueshen had controlled Li Youcai, she’d blocked his five senses and created illusions to make him fight for her. When she wanted to join the battle herself, she had to use the nine bloodcorpses to do so.

However, the Deaf Prince couldn’t hear anything, and the immortal ghost couldn’t transmit messages to him since it didn’t have a spirit.

“Aren’t you afraid of death, pureblood xiangliu?!” the ghost’s tone descended into new depths of chill and terror. Every syllable was formed with biting frost.

“You’re insulting me, immortal ghost!” the Deaf Prince said gravely. “Don’t make mouth shapes at me!”

Incomprehension flashed through the ghost’s pale eyes. It helplessly turned to Lu Yun and Qing Han, who pretended not to see it.

“The last person who dared insult me almost got crushed by my crystal. You wanna try as well?!” A wolfish grin split the prince’s face as his body suddenly turned gold.
