At this moment, Nie Li was already in the Bai Residence. He came here early to find Bai Jian. When Bai Jian woke up and saw Nie Li in the courtyard, he was shocked. "What brings you here?" Bai Jian and Nie Li sat on a stone bench in the courtyard. There were still some dew on it. Bai Jian sat down and shivered.
"Brother Bai, how is the matter that I asked of you a few days ago?" Nie Li came to find Bai Jian because of Yu Shan's matter. He said that he would help Yu Shan, but because of his injuries, Yu Shan rarely left the inn.
Bai Jian pondered for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I sent a lot of people to investigate in the city, but did not find anyone from the evil cult. Furthermore, it's impossible for someone from the Corpse Sect to come to such a remote place."
"Why did you suddenly ask about this matter?" Bai Jian was curious about why Nie Li was inquiring about this matter. "Yu Shan's father's corpse is missing." Nie Li said. Since he wanted Bai Jian to help him, it was better to tell him the truth.
"Is that so? I'll have my men continue to pay attention." Bai Jian's face turned serious when he heard that it was Yu Shan's father.
"You should also make some preparations. The Earth Dragon Fruit is about to ripen. The Bai and Ye Families purposely scheduled the wedding on the second day after the Earth Dragon Fruit ripens. Now that I think about it, there's only a few days left." Bai Jian sighed, a little worried.
"Got it." Nie Li nodded his head, then got up and left. He already knew about Bai Jian's news. Now, he had to inform Yu Shan. No matter if he found him or not, Nie Li had to inform him.
Early in the morning in White Mountain City, some hawkers and breakfast shops had already opened and were shouting loudly. Nie Li walked out of White Mountain City and climbed up the mountain. At this time, the mountain was still a little cold, and the sun had yet to shine on this place.
Walking into Yu Shan's house, Nie Li saw Yu Shan polishing a knife in the courtyard. To Yu Shan, aside from this mountain, these hunting tools were all he had.
"Yu Shan." Nie Li softly called out. Yu Shan's hand paused for a moment and raised his head to look at Nie Li. Nie Li noticed that Yu Shan's expression was a little haggard. His originally spirited eyes were covered with a layer of dust.
"Nie Li, you're finally here. Is there any news?" Yu Shan acted as if he was grabbing onto a life-saving straw. He threw the hunting equipment to the side, pushed the door open, and walked in front of Nie Li. His eyes were wide open, looking at Nie Li with fear and hope.
"Yu Shan, Brother Bai didn't find any clues either." Nie Li didn't dare to look into Yu Shan's eyes. He didn't know how his eyes would shatter after saying those words.
"I see." Yu Shan wasn't as despairing as Nie Li imagined. He was very calm, as if he knew that all of this would happen. Maybe he already knew the answer, or maybe he didn't have any hope from the start! Perhaps there was hope, but it had been obliterated by the passage of time.
"Yu Shan." Nie Li once again called out Yu Shan's name. However, Yu Shan did not force him. Instead, he sat in the courtyard, picked up the hunting equipment he had thrown away earlier, and carefully polished it.
"Nie Li, you don't have to keep working on this matter. Anyway, my father is already dead. Even if we find his corpse, it won't change anything. " Yu Shan lowered his head, but his tears dripped onto the whetstone. The tears made the hunting equipment emit a special white light.
Hearing Yu Shan's words, Nie Li felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife. A piercing pain made it difficult for him to breathe. He knew that Yu Shan had already given up.
"As long as we can't find it, we shouldn't give up. Yu Shan, I promise you, I will find it. " Nie Li didn't know where he got the confidence to say those words. After saying that, he used his Qing Gong and ran away.
Yu Shan looked at Nie Li's back. His mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something, but nothing came out of his mouth. He faintly sighed and continued to polish the hunting equipment. Zi la Zi la.
Nie Li walked to the edge of the cliff. Since Yu Shan's father's corpse disappeared in the cave, then he must be able to find something in the cave. Since he couldn't find it, he might as well give it a try.
Nie Li grabbed onto the vines, and with a few steps, he entered the cave in the middle of the mountain. Everything inside was the same as before. With his internal force attached to his eyes, everything in front of him was as bright as day. Nie Li walked inside.
There seemed to be some movement in the depths of the cave. Nie Li was a little far away, so he couldn't determine what it was. However, there was definitely someone inside. Since there was someone, then it must have something to do with the disappearance of Yu Shan's father. Nie Li slowed down his footsteps and carefully moved in.
Nie Li hid very well. He looked at the back of the person moving in the cave. He raised his head and revealed his eyes. When he saw the person, Nie Li was a little surprised. It was actually that monk, Ming Zhen.
He seemed to be constantly searching for something, but he didn't notice Nie Li's presence. Nie Li carefully looked at Ming Zhen and held his breath. After an unknown amount of time, Ming Zhen sighed and quietly left.
Nie Li followed Ming Zhen and realised that he was taking another path. Following behind Ming Zhen, they passed through the dark cave. The sound of flowing water reverberated in their ears. Ming Zhen raised the torch and focused all his attention on the darkness in front of him. Therefore, he didn't have the energy to look at Nie Li.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of flowing water grew louder. It seemed to be coming from outside. He should still be in the mountains. Nie Li remembered that there was a lake at the bottom of the cliff.
Ming Zhen's footsteps suddenly stopped. Nie Li thought that he had been discovered. However, Ming Zhen simply stuck the torch into a crevice and pushed it against the wall. A secret door was opened.
Ming Zhen went in. Nie Li didn't choose to follow him in. Instead, he observed from outside. After a cup of tea's time, Ming Zhen came out again. His expression was a little desolate. Clearly, there was something very important to him inside.
Picking up the torch, Ming Zhen walked forward. Nie Li continued to follow. Soon, the sound of flowing water was deafening. A white curtain appeared before Nie Li. It was actually a waterfall. This cave was actually inside the waterfall.
However, Nie Li remembered that the lake flowed through the flat mountainside. Because of the drop, it formed a waterfall. It seemed that he had already reached the foot of the mountain from the peak.
He never expected that following Ming Zhen would make such a different discovery. Ming Zhen used the waterfall to extinguish the torch. He split the waterfall with a palm and left in a flash. Nie Li waited for Ming Zhen to leave before returning to the place where the secret door was.
Because he saw Ming Zhen's actions clearly, Nie Li imitated him on the wall. * Bang! * The secret door opened and a bright light shone into Nie Li's eyes. His eyes were stimulated and he hurriedly retracted his internal energy and turned off the Night Eye.
He rubbed his eyes. Because of the stimulation, tears flowed down uncontrollably. A passageway for one person. There were a few Night Illumination Pearls hanging on the wall, illuminating the path ahead. After passing through the long passageway, Nie Li's eyes suddenly widened.
The inside of the mountain had been hollowed out. In front of him was a stone door that was a few meters tall. It looked heavy. Night Illumination Pearls hung on the wall, illuminating the dark room. Looking around, Nie Li saw the corpse of Yu Shan's father in the corner.
It was exactly the same as when he first saw it. Why was the corpse here? Could it be Ming Zhen's doing? Why did he bring Yu Shan's father's corpse here? What was behind the stone door that Ming Zhen was so concerned about?
Nie Li walked to the stone door and gave it a forceful push. However, the stone door did not budge. Clenching his teeth, Nie Li infused his palms with internal energy and slapped the stone door with the Azure Python Strike. A loud rumbling sound rang out, but the stone door did not budge. Not even a mark was left behind.
Nie Li was a little surprised that the stone door did not budge when he used the power of the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon, in addition to his internal energy and the Azure Python Strike. Although Ming Zhen's strength was strong, it was definitely not enough to push open the stone door. Since he couldn't open it with brute force, then there must be other ways to enter. Nie Li wanted to find some mechanism near the stone door.
Fortunately, he found a groove on the wall beside the stone door. It must be the key to open the stone door. However, Nie Li had no idea what the key was. After thinking about it, he could only give up.
He turned around and looked at the corpse of Yu Shan's father. He had no idea what to do. Should he bring it back? This was what he promised Yu Shan. Nie Li did not hesitate and carried Yu Shan's father's corpse out.
Nie Li carried the corpse on his back. The narrow passageway was not enough for him to carry the corpse horizontally. Walking out of the secret door, Nie Li carried the corpse on his back and split the waterfall apart. However, his cultivation was not as strong as Ming Zhen's. The waterfall was cut off in less than a breath's time.
If he were to charge out, Nie Li would not be able to protect the corpse. The powerful impact would be enough to shatter the corpse. "Heaven and Earth Slash!" Nie Li slashed out. When the blade aura burst out from the autumn rain, Nie Li's figure followed closely behind. In a flash, Nie Li's feet lightly tapped on the water surface. Every time he tapped, a water pillar would burst out.
The river below the waterfall was not large. Nie Li reached the shore in a few flashes. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Nie Li decided to head up the mountain based on his own judgment.
Carrying Yu Shan's father's corpse, Nie Li carefully made his way back to Yu Shan's house. Yu Shan was not around. He must have gone out to hunt! Nie Li placed the corpse in the courtyard.
Nie Li did not leave the corpse, waiting for Yu Shan to return. Under the sunlight, the white bones would make one shiver. A strange light flashed in front of Nie Li. He looked at Yu Shan's father's empty eyes. There seemed to be something flashing under the sunlight.
It flashed again and again. However, Nie Li did not touch it. The dead should be respected. Damaging Yu Shan's father's corpse for no reason was something he could not do.
The sun was fixed above his head. The intense light made the mountain seem even hotter. Without the cover of the clouds, the light in the skull became even brighter. The light emitted from the skull illuminated the entire skull.
The white skull emitted a golden light. It looked a little strange. "Kacha" The corpse's mouth opened. A ball wrapped in golden light flew out from the mouth and floated in the air.
Nie Li thought that it must be this thing that was causing trouble. The moment he grabbed the ball, the scorching aura caused his palm to be burned, charring it black.
Circulating his internal energy in his arm, the black internal energy wrapped around his palm. Nie Li grabbed the ball. With a sizzling sound, his palm felt like it was pierced by needles. It was extremely painful. His internal energy also evaporated like water.
"Bang!" The ball emitted an even more intense light and bounced Nie Li's palm away.
Holding his bloody palm, Nie Li stared at the ball and quietly pulled out his Autumn Rain Blade. He looked like he was going to risk his life.
