Pang Nie sneered and said to the Fire Man, "Brother Fire, since everyone is here, let's discuss the plan to deal with the Corpse Man."
The Fire Man nodded and said, "Everyone, although there are eight people from the top five martial institutions, the Corpse Man is not that easy to deal with. His cultivation is at the Late Astral Reaching Realm, and we would need at least three Mid Astral Reaching Realm warriors to keep him occupied. Plus, there are two or three rank 7 zombie warriors in his nest. I will not say much about the zombie warriors. Judging from their battling power, they might not be as powerful as all of you here, but their defense is extremely powerful. Without a powerful attack, we might not be able to kill it. Instead, we might be exhausted to death. Besides that, the Corpse Man also has four warriors in white. They seem to have no physical bodies, and are extremely creepy. They are all at the Early Astral Reaching Realm.
Lin Shuihan said, "So, we have just enough people."
The Great Master of the South Rudra Martial School, Xiao Heng, said, "Just enough, which means it is very dangerous. If there is one more Astral Reaching Realm warrior on the Corpse Man's side, the situation will be very unfavorable for us."
Xiao Heng's wife, Long Yue, nodded, "Indeed. Our breakthrough point was the zombie warriors. After killing the zombie, we would then kill the four warriors in white, and then we could join hands to kill the Corpse Man. But, the situation might not be as good as we thought. If there is one more Astral Reaching Realm warrior on the other side, they might be able to find a breakthrough point from us."
"Fire, is this your plan?" Although Pang Nie and the Fire Man had the same goal, it did not mean that he did not care about his own safety. Who knew what kind of plan the Fire Man had, and whether or not he would be included in it?
The Fire Man laughed, "Don't worry, everyone. My good friend, the Lake Man, will meet with us tomorrow. This way, there will be nine of us. If there is no change on the Corpse Man's side, it will be easy to kill him. Even if there is a change, we still have enough power to deal with it. If worst comes to worst, the nine of us can join hands and escape from the Corpse Man's nest."
"The Lake Man, one of the Wild Five, I heard that there are two people who have come to the Purple Sun Martial School this time. One is the Mountain Man in front of us, and the other one is the Gold Spear Man. Where is he? With him, the chance of winning will be even higher." Lin Shuihan suddenly said.
The Fire Man's face darkened as he glanced at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's expression did not change. "I killed him."
"You killed him?"
Xiao Heng and his wife, as well as Lin Shuihan, were quite surprised. Ye Chen's cultivation was only at the purifying zhen yuan stage, which was still a small distance away from the Astral Reaching Realm. Meanwhile, the Gold Spear Man's cultivation had already reached the Mid Astral Reaching Realm. There was a huge realm and a small realm difference between the two. Under normal circumstances, Ye Chen would not even be able to hurt the Gold Spear Man's hair. The few of them were shocked. The number one martial genius of the South Rudra Region was way more powerful than they had imagined.
"Since he's dead, then that's another matter. Brother Lie Huo, when are we leaving?" Lin Shuihan didn't intend to blame Ye Chen and directly skipped over this matter.
The Fire Man said, "Let's not waste any more time. Let's go today! Things might change if we delay. "
"I have no objections!"
"Me neither."
"Since that's the case, let's go!"
As Astral Reaching experts, they did not like to talk nonsense. Once they had decided on something, they would immediately carry it out.
Above the clouds …
The Fire Man said, "The Corpse Man's nest is right under the ground on the west side of the Devil Grassland. There is a lake there."
"No wonder we had not found it after all these years. It was hiding under the ground. The Devil Grassland is huge. Without luck, we would not be able to find it."
The Green Beauty Mountain was twenty thousand miles away from the west side of the Devil Grassland. With the speed of the Astral Reaching Realm warriors, although they would be able to get there in four to six hours, it would be extremely dangerous to hunt down the Corpse Man. Going at full speed would definitely affect their condition. Therefore, everyone only maintained half of their normal speed.
On the way, they bumped into the Lake Man, one of the Five Wanderers.
The Lake Man looked like he was in his fifties. He was wearing a blue robe, holding a fan in his hand. His temperament was quite similar to Zhuang Qinghe. With his powerful soul power, Ye Chen could see a hint of viciousness flashing through his eyes. It was evil and cruel, which was definitely not as elegant as he looked.
After eight hours, everyone had arrived at the west side of the Devil Grassland.
In front of them was an endless stretch of lakes. Some of them were big, some were small. Some were gourd-shaped, some were like water snakes, and some were round.
"We are here!"
The Fire Man was the first to land next to a lake.
The Great Master of the South Rudra Martial School, Xiao Heng, said hesitantly, "I wonder where the entrance is?"
"The entrance is right under this lake!"
The Fire Man pointed at the lake in front of them.
"Under the lake!"
Pang Nie sneered, "This Corpse Man sure knows how to find the right place. He had set the entrance under the lake, covered with mud. It is almost flawless."
"Let me check out the environment under the lake!"
The Great Master of the South Rudra Martial School, Long Yue, was still a bit worried. She pushed her zhen yuan and waved her palm over the water in front of her. Something shocking happened. A swirl suddenly appeared on the surface of the water. It slowly stabilized and floated in the air, looking like a whirlpool water mirror.
"Turn!"
As Long Yue's palm moved, the whirlpool water mirror kept changing its direction. In everyone's eyes, the scenery under the lake could be seen clearly through the mirror.
The Fire Man gasped. The martial art trained by the Great Master of the South Rudra Martial School was indeed unimaginable. Although he still did not know how powerful it was, judging only by its mysteriousness, there seemed to be no other martial art that could compete with it. It was almost close to the Sea of Souls Realm master level martial artists.
The Lake Man's heart skipped a beat. He had also trained a water-type martial art, and the water-type zhen yuan inside Long Yue's body made him very excited. If he could make her his mistress, it would be such a great thing. Unfortunately, he could not afford to offend the power behind her, so he would need to think about it further.
"I will have you sooner or later." The Lake Man was different from the Gold Spear Man. He liked those middle-aged beauties who were still attractive. Long Yue looked like she was only in her forties, but because she had trained a water-type martial art, she looked very attractive. Her skin was not any weaker than young girls in their twenties. Added with that special aura of hers, she would be his ideal prey.
If there was someone who had seen through the whole situation the best, it would be Ye Chen. From the beginning to the end, he had not said a single word. He had been watching with cold eyes. The Lake Man's expression was very vague, but unfortunately, he could not hide anything from Ye Chen. He could not help but sneer inside. People from the South Rudra Martial School were not idiots, so they must have some backup plans. The leader of the South Rudra Martial School was even more mysterious. Messing with her would only result in death.
"Alright, I will finish it here once and for all!" Ye Chen did not expect to kill the Corpse Man easily. In fact, he knew that it would not be that easy. But, for him, killing the Fire Man, the Mountain Man, and the Lake Man would not be that hard. If the two Great Masters from the Emerald Martial School also wanted to do something to him, then he would kill them together.
It was not because he was very confident in himself, but because of his own power.
Today, he was not the same as before. Everything he had learned was top rank Earth Realm martial arts, top rank Earth Realm sword art, top rank Earth Realm movement art, top rank Earth Realm movement art, Kill Heart Sword and Sky Shattering Clouds were his ace attacks, and the eighty percent sword intent was his biggest weapon. It was one of the reasons why he could fight beyond his cultivation. Plus, he could step into the Astral Reaching Realm anytime he wanted. With this kind of power, not to mention peak-level Mid Astral Reaching Realm warriors, even if it was a Late Astral Reaching Realm warrior, he would not be afraid.
After all, even the inner masters of the rank 6 martial institutions did not have a top rank Earth Realm martial art, not to mention the Corpse Man.
Top rank Earth Realm martial arts were extremely rare in the South Rudra Region. Even all the rank 6 martial institutions would only have a couple of them. He believed that no matter how powerful the Nine Ghost Cult was, it would still be impossible for everyone to have one. The one hundred and eight ghost warriors were only equivalent to the core masters of a rank 6 martial institution.
All these advantages had made Ye Chen not afraid of the Fire Man's evil plan. Even if it did not work out, with his Separating Shadow Flying Art, it would not be a problem for him to leave this place.
"There is no danger!"
The water mirror disappeared as Long Yue shook her head.
"Then let's go down!"
The Fire Man suggested.
The underwater environment was not a problem for everyone. Even Mortal Realm warriors could stay underwater for a long time. Not to mention that everyone here was an Astral Reaching Realm warrior, who had the power to fly in the sky and dive into the ground. Normal natural environment would not be able to stop them at all.
Opening up his fake zhen yuan layer, Ye Chen followed everyone into the water.
"Piss off!"
Not long after they entered the water, a huge underwater beast approached them. It was killed by Pang Nie with one palm attack, and its dead body was thrown out of the water.
The Fire Man controlled his excitement and said with his zhen yuan, "The entrance is over there. Everyone, follow me." After he finished talking, he took the lead, using his red protective zhen yuan layer to sneak in at an extreme speed. He was as fast as a ghost, like a flickering lamp in the water.
Soon, they found the Corpse Man's nest.
At the bottom of the lake, on the side of a huge rock mountain, there was an entrance that was covered with water plants. As the plants were shattered, the entrance could be seen clearly. It was around ten meters wide and led straight down. It looked like a tunnel to hell.
Under the protection of their zhen yuan layer, everyone did not care about what was in front of them. If it were not for the fact that they were afraid that the Corpse Man would hear them, they would have been able to break in with brute force. It would be a piece of cake for them.
Whoo!
The Fire Man was the first to sneak in, followed by the Mountain Man and the Lake Man.
"Let's go in as well."
Xiao Heng and Long Yue glanced at Ye Chen. Among everyone here, only Ye Chen was on their side.
Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "Seniors, I will go in first."
Since the Green Lotus Sword Spell was a martial art trained by sword artists, Ye Chen's fake zhen yuan was extremely sharp. It was unbelievably fast under the water. When the water in front of him touched his fake zhen yuan layer, it was like it had been cut in half by the sword qi. It did not pose much of a resistance at all.
Pitch black, everywhere was pitch black. There was no light at all.
No one knew how deep the entrance to the Corpse Man's nest was. Everyone could only feel that they were getting further and further away from the lake. The surroundings were strangely quiet, without any noise.
Splash!
After an unknown amount of time, everyone reappeared on the water surface. However, it was not the original water surface, but the underground water surface that was connected to the lake.
