Su Yu's heart thumped. The Ghost Clan, which had been exterminated a hundred years ago, was going to be reborn?
After Su Yu ascertained that it was a late-stage Divine Master, he didn't hesitate any longer. He held his breath and retreated slowly.
As Su Yu looked at the trapped Xue Qi, he clenched his teeth. He wasn't a match for a middle-stage Divine Master, and if he rushed over now, he wouldn't be able to save anyone.
He left quietly and crawled out of the underground cave.
A gust of wind blew past, and Su Yu felt a chill on his forehead. Only then did he realize that his forehead was full of cold sweat.
It was really unexpected that the ferocious creature that had caused the Eighteen Linked Mountains to disappear many times in the past half a year was actually in this cave at the foot of the mountain.
He had to inform the manor as soon as possible and let them come and deal with it.
When he returned to the tent, Bing Wuxin and the others had already returned.
"What took you so long? What happened? " Bai Shanliang, who was walking over, suddenly stopped in his tracks. He looked at Su Yu and said, "Wait! You have a faint poisonous aura on your body. Did you run into the creature that kidnapped Xue Qi?"
Hearing this, the people in the tent stood up abruptly and stared at Su Yu.
Su Yu nodded solemnly. "Let's talk about this later. Now, you should go and report to the Manor Master that I found Xue Qi's whereabouts."
Everyone's expressions turned grave. Looking at Su Yu's expression, it seemed like he had discovered something grave.
"Junior Brother, there is no need to go. The Manor Lord has already left the manor to welcome the Palace Lord and the others. Right now, there are only a few Elders in the manor." Bai Shanliang shook his head.
Leave at the critical moment? Su Yu's heart sank slightly, and as he looked around, he furrowed his brows and asked, "Where is Zi Xuan? She didn't reply either? "
"Her? He came back, but immediately left, as if he was running away from something. " Bai Shanliang looked at Su Yu. His intuition told him that Zi Xuan was different from ordinary people, and it wasn't as simple as just having an ambiguous relationship with Su Yu.
Gone? Su Yu was surprised. Why did she suddenly leave without any reason? Could it be that it sensed some danger?
But, without anyone's help, how could he save Xue Qi?
If he were alone, he probably wouldn't even be able to make a single move before that resurrected mid-stage Divine Master Ghost was obliterated.
"Junior brother, tell us about Xue Qi's situation first. We can look for the elders and the seven inner sanctum disciples to help," Bai Shanliang said.
You? Su Yu thought about it for a moment, then secretly shook his head. In front of someone at the middle stage, the four of them would be annihilated without a doubt.
Only the elders in the villa might be able to help.
All of a sudden, Su Yu's eyes lit up. "I have an idea. Leave this matter to me alone. You can inform the elders of the manor later."
The four demons looked at each other in dismay. They were all baffled … What is Su Yu planning?
However, they still followed Su Yu's agreement, which was to bide their time and inform the elders of the manor later.
Before long, Su Yu quietly returned to the black mountain.
Su Yu sat cross-legged on the mountain as he looked at the curtain of night that had fallen. He counted his gains for the day.
Those who did not know what was going on would think that Su Yu had just finished his work.
After a while, a group of people deliberately flew over to this mountain. Seven figures, who else could it be other than Inner Sanctum disciples?
Su Yu's performance the day before had piqued their curiosity. Hence, they naturally wanted to come and see what Su Yu had gained today.
"Junior Brother, are you finally resting?" A soft and pleasant voice drifted over, and when Su Yu raised his head to look at it, he saw that it was the multicolored young woman, Senior Sister Jiyu. Her beautiful eyes were staring at the large number of magical treasures in front of Su Yu.
Su Yu quickly collected his gains, stood up, and cupped his fists at them. "Senior Sister Jiyu, senior brothers."
The six Inner Sanctum disciples behind Jiyu looked at the small mountain beneath Su Yu's feet, which had been excavated to the point that only a third of it was left.
Even though they were Almighty Divine Masters, their excavation speed was still slower than this Fairy Realm cultivator.
This surprised them greatly.
Of course, among the six of them, there were two hidden gazes filled with greed.
"Junior brother, you are really skilled! You managed to flatten sixty percent of it in two days! It's no wonder that you have such a great harvest." Jiyu bit her rosy lips. She was both surprised and envious.
Su Yu replied modestly, "I was just lucky. It seems like this mountain wasn't as hard as I had imagined, so I managed to excavate it quite smoothly."
They had come here a day earlier than Su Yu and the others, and they had explored all eighteen mountains. Although some of the mountain peaks were quite soft, they were definitely not the one beneath Su Yu's feet.
"Junior brother, you are too modest. If you have an opportunity to come to the inner sanctum in the future, you can look for me to discuss the martial path with me." Jiyu wanted to say something, but she hesitated. After all, they only had three days to excavate the mountain, and today was the last day. So, they would have to return to the inner sanctum the next day.
Her harvest couldn't be considered small, but it was still a far cry from Su Yu's.
She really wanted to ask Su Yu what kind of secret technique he had, so that she could give it a try in the future. But, it was a pity that she wasn't familiar with Su Yu, and if she asked him rashly, she wouldn't get any answers.
In her opinion, since he had managed to get the outer sanctum's exam's first place and had managed to reach the Carp Leaping Over Dragon Gate's 50th layer, his potential was extraordinary, and he had a high chance of entering the inner sanctum.
Su Yu revealed a faint smile and said, "Senior sister, you must be joking. I have just joined the sanctum, and I'm still far from reaching the inner sanctum."
"I believe in you, junior brother." Jiyu revealed a sweet smile. She was as beautiful as a roadside canna. "It's already dark, so why don't you go back with us? This mountain isn't very peaceful. "
Su Yu replied, "Senior sister, many thanks for your concern, but I still have some matters to take care of. Senior sister, you should leave first."
"Since that's the case, you should be careful and go back quickly," Jiyu instructed him before she led the others away.
As Su Yu looked at their departing gazes, a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. "Whether I can save Xue Qi or not will depend on you."
Su Yu stomped on the ground, revealing the hole that he had concealed. He then quickly entered the underground cave.
On the mountain peak, there was no one, only the whistling wind.
Swish swish —
Right at this moment, two figures silently appeared at the top of the mountain like ghosts.
One of them had dark skin with a hint of purplish gold. His eyes shone brightly like a pair of torches in the darkness.
The other carried a black and white sword on his back and stood ramrod straight. His eyes were as sharp as swords, and his entire body gave off a sharp feeling.
"Hehe, that brat sure slipped away quickly. In the blink of an eye, he's gone. Could it be that he knows that we're going to harm him?" The dark-skinned young man looked around and sneered.
The young man with the black and white swords on his back didn't say anything. He scanned the area with his eyes, and suddenly, he felt a strange movement in the mountain below him. He took a closer look and saw a half-hidden cave entrance hidden in the night.
"Brother Wen, look, there's a tunnel here." The dark-skinned young man had also noticed the cave's existence, so he swept his leg and removed the stones that were covering it, revealing the cave entrance.
The dark-skinned young man squatted down and touched the cave entrance. He then revealed a cold smile and said, "His aura is still lingering around the cave entrance and inside it. It seems like he entered the tunnel. It's no wonder that he didn't want to follow us back to the camp. It's because he discovered the underground tunnel and wanted to look for treasures by himself. " The dark-skinned young man curled his lips into a mocking smile and said, "I can't help but say that he's really a cunning lad."
The young man with the black and white swords on his back wore a calm expression as he said, "The Eighteen Linked Mountains are the strangest region of the Elegant Spirit Mountain, and the tunnel that appeared here is quite extraordinary. So, we mustn't be careless. It's safest for us to wait for him at the cave entrance."
"Brother Wen, in my opinion, this cave didn't just open, so that lad must have already gone down there. If there's any danger, why would he dare to enter it again?" The dark-skinned young man was slightly anxious. He then added, "This lad doesn't seem like a stupid person. Once he discovers that we are guarding the cave entrance, he will surely hide underground and not come out. Moreover, we must leave the Elegant Spirit Mountain by tomorrow morning at the latest. We don't have time to waste with this lad.
Moreover … "The dark-skinned young man licked his lips and said," Brother Wen, don't you want to go down there to try your luck? Since this cave entrance has already been opened, it will surely be taken over by the manor tomorrow, so it will be impossible for us to go down there. "
His last words touched the heart of the dual swords youth.
The path of martial arts was extremely difficult, and a fortuitous encounter could change one's entire life. As such, whether one could grasp it or not depended on whether one was willing to take risks or not.
As such, it was quite possible that a fortuitous encounter was hidden beneath the ruins of the great battle between humans and ghosts a hundred years ago.
As his gaze flickered, the dual swords youth didn't manage to resist the temptation in his heart, so he nodded and jumped into the tunnel along with the dark-skinned young man.
"Let's follow this lad's aura." The dual swords youth closed his eyes for a moment before he opened them once again. His eyes shone with a bright light, and they could faintly see some traces that couldn't be discerned by the naked eye. It was the aura left behind by Su Yu.
The two of them moved like a gust of wind, moving through the complicated tunnel without leaving any traces behind.
After half a cup of tea's time had passed, they came to a stop in front of a giant stone gate.
"Brother Wen, why is there a man-made stone gate here?" The dark-skinned young man furrowed his brows as he looked at the black stone gate. He had a bad premonition.
The dual swords youth's heart also sank. "We might have been tricked, as I can feel a terrifying aura from within the stone gate."
They had finally realized that it was Su Yu who had lured them here.
"But, where is Immortal Su Yu? It's impossible for a living person like him to just disappear into thin air. "The dark-skinned young man surveyed his surroundings in surprise.
At this moment, a red mist pervaded the vicinity of the stone gate, and an old man stepped out of it. It was none other than Su Yu!
However, compared to Su Yu, Su Yu's eyes were too clear, like a child's eyes, which didn't match his current age.
"Su Yu!" The dark-skinned young man shouted in a low voice. Both of them were afraid of the inner sanctum's dangers, so they didn't consider Su Yu's abnormality.
"Hehe." Su Yu chuckled like a young girl, then turned into a pink mist once again and disappeared from his former place.
A bolt of lightning flickered at the tunnel's exit, and Su Yu walked out of it.
At this moment, Su Yu had recovered his youthful appearance. He had long white hair, a youthful face that was as handsome as a celestial being, and a pair of deep eyes. He seemed like a celestial being who had come out of an ancient painting.
Su Yu wore a faint smile as he said, "Judging by the time, they should have already reached the stone gate. Hehe, I will have to trouble you to help me block that ghost."
As Su Yu spoke, he used his Transparent Eye in his left eye, while his right eye was the wine-red Spatial Eye.
His left eye penetrated the cave and went straight to the stone gate, then entered it through a crack that he had discovered previously.
At the same time, his right eye's powerful spatial power instantly entered the gate and engulfed Xue Qi, along with the blood-red sphere.
