Compared to the other faction of the Running Corpse Sect, they were much more low-profile and even stranger. For the sake of proving their Dao, some of them even slept underground for thousands of years.
Back then, when the Tianwu Emperor killed his way into the Running Corpse Sect, he killed all the experts of this faction. However, some of the old monsters hiding underground managed to escape.
Although this faction survived, their Cultivation Technique was too strange. No one was willing to learn the Dao of corpses. Hence, the Running Corpse Sect completely disappeared.
After Xiao Chen heard Ma Chen introduce the Running Corpse Sect, he felt suspicious and asked, "According to what you said, the corpses of the miners in the mine clearly do not have any combat prowess. Why did they turn them into corpses?"
Ma Chen smiled faintly and said, "Naturally, they do not have any combat prowess. If the bodies are not strong enough, there would not be any qualitative changes after turning them into corpses. The truly strong ones should be the first batch of corpses that we met. Only after they were refined using a special method would they have combat prowess.
"As for those miners, it should have been done in passing. After all, it is not difficult for them."
Xiao Chen revealed a furious expression. He clenched his left fist tightly and said, "Are these people so inhumane? They do not even let off ordinary people who have no grudges with them?"
Ma Chen smiled and said, "Humane? These things that are neither human nor ghost, how can they be humane? They are no longer humans. Otherwise, they would not have incited public anger in the first place. "
After thinking for a while, Ma Chen said, "I wonder where Elder Ye and the others went. We are trapped here, unable to advance or retreat. If we do not get out, we might be trapped here until we die."
The exit of the mine was a secret. It was impossible for these inner sect disciples who were here on a contribution mission to know about it. There were specialized people who used Secret Treasures to trap them before bringing them out.
If anything happened to Ye Wen and the others, Xiao Chen and Ma Chen might not be able to get out of here. If they died here, their corpses might even be refined into corpses.
Xiao Chen trembled at the thought of it. However, when he thought about it, he felt that nothing would happen to Ye Wen. Back then, when Xiao Chen told Ye Wen about Mu Xinya and Supervisor Li, Ye Wen's expression was very calm. He even warned Xiao Chen not to be nosy.
Now that Xiao Chen thought about it, Ye Wen was hinting to him that he already knew about this matter. He was warning him not to alert them.
Bang!
Xiao Chen ferociously punched the wall to the side. The force of the punch was more than a thousand Jin. When the punch landed on the wall, a hole the size of a bowl immediately appeared. Stone chips fell down.
If Ye Wen had known about this long ago, the lives of these miners could have been spared. However, for the sake of his own plan, Ye Wen did not move these miners away to avoid alerting the enemy.
When Xiao Chen thought about the miners, he felt that it was not worth it. That night, Supervisor Zhao knelt before him and begged him to help the miners whose contracts were due at the end of the month.
At the end of the month, those people could have safely left this never-ending hell-like mine tunnel to meet their wives and children and reunite with their families.
But now, all of this was for naught. He thought that he had tried his best to take care of them and let them leave safely, but in the end, he had personally killed these miners who had turned into dried corpses.
Ye Wen, you are too ruthless!
Ma Cheng said in astonishment, "Junior Martial Brother Ye, what are you trying to do? Don't think too hard. There will always be a way out. Elder Ye and the others will definitely deal with these dried corpses. At that time, there will naturally be a way out. "
"Hu!" Before Ma Cheng finished speaking, Xiao Chen suddenly made a move. He chopped at Ma Cheng's neck with his hand. Before Ma Cheng's astonished gaze, Xiao Chen knocked him out.
Xiao Chen looked at the slowly collapsing Ma Cheng and said, "I'm sorry, I have to find that person and ask him for an explanation. Senior Martial Brother Ma, I can only wrong you for now."
After Xiao Chen said that, he dug a shallow hole in the ground and slowly placed Ma Cheng's body in. Then, he used the soft soil to bury Ma Cheng's body.
With Ma Cheng's cultivation, breathing under such soft soil was not a problem. This way, those dried corpses would not be able to find him. While he was unconscious, he would be safe.
After doing all this, Xiao Chen walked forward with a determined expression. Ye Wen was definitely in that place, in the cave that suppressed the Demon King.
Xiao Chen had been there once before. He basically remembered the route. As long as he found the mechanism, he would be able to rush there.
After walking for a while, a petite figure slowly walked out from the corner in front. In the pitch-black tunnel, he could not see her appearance clearly.
However, Xiao Chen was very familiar with this person. After interacting with her for half a month, Xiao Chen could easily recognize her from her silhouette — Mu Xinya!
Mu Xinya looked at Xiao Chen and smiled faintly, "Senior Martial Brother Ye …"
Xiao Chen could not be bothered to speak any nonsense. He drew the Lunar Shadow Saber with a 'huang dang' sound. When the saber left the scabbard, there was a resplendent electric light. The instant the electric light flickered, the pitch-black tunnel was incomparably bright.
The expressions of the two of them froze under the electric light. Xiao Chen's expression was cold; there was no expression on his face. Mu Xinya's cute face revealed a faint trace of grief.
"Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art, Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations, Qingyun Peak's secret technique, Clear Wind Chop!"
Xiao Chen executed the high level technique of the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art, the Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations. The instant the electric light disappeared, Xiao Chen left behind nine afterimages in the air.
His feet did not touch the ground. Every afterimage changed directions in the air. Nine cool breezes blew in the tunnel. In an instant, Xiao Chen executed nine Clear Wind Chops in a row.
The saber was hidden in the wind; there was no killing Qi. It was like a gentle lover whispering sweet nothings in the cool breeze. It was tender and sweet, like a spring breeze warming one's face.
"Shua!"
The nine afterimages merged together. Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and stood quietly behind Mu Xinya. His delicate and ordinary face was expressionless, filled with frost.
"Pu Chi!"
Blood spurted out of the nine death acupoints on Mu Xinya's chest: Baihui, Qingming, Jiuwei, Juque, Shenque, Qihai, Guanyuan, Zhongji, and Qugu. She fell to the ground with a 'bang'.
If the nine death acupoints on Mu Xinya's chest were struck by a saber at the same time, even if one was as strong as a Martial Saint, they would die immediately. There was no medicine that could cure them; no one could save them.
Mu Xinya's complexion turned pale. She smiled bitterly, "I thought that after working together for half a month, even if you wanted to kill me, you would let me finish speaking first. I did not expect Senior Brother Ye to be so heartless."
Xiao Chen said in a cold voice, "I did not expect that under your innocent appearance, there was such a cruel heart. I thought that even if you had some ulterior motive, you would not implicate so many innocent people."
Xiao Chen knew that he was not a good person. However, he would not do such a heartless thing. However, this girl in front of him had subverted some of the bottom lines he held in his heart.
In this world where the strong preyed on the weak and the survival of the fittest, there was already a lack of morals. People respected martial arts; the bigger the fist, the bigger the reason.
From the first day he arrived in this world, the moment he was humiliated by the Xiao Clan, he had already thoroughly understood this principle.
However, there were some things that no matter how the world changed, there was a bottom line that he had to hold on to. Killing the innocent for no reason was a bottom line that he had to hold on to.
Mu Xinya had already crossed Xiao Chen's bottom line. She deserved to die!
If Ye Wen did not have a reasonable explanation, he would seek justice for those miners who had died. "Pu!
Pu! "
Just as Xiao Chen was preparing to leave, Mu Xinya's corpse started to move. Xiao Chen quickly stopped and looked over.
A corpse transformation?
Under Xiao Chen's suspicious gaze, Mu Xinya's skin looked like it had been sliced open with a knife; it split open with a 'shua' sound.
A human figure slowly came out of the skin. She was completely naked; she was not wearing any clothes. Her silver hair flowed behind her. In the dark tunnel, the silver hair gave off a faint glow, making the girl in front of him look like a fairy.
Her snow-white skin was faintly discernible in the dark night; it was extremely alluring.
Xiao Chen's gaze pierced through the darkness. However, he did not pay attention to the part that would make people vomit blood. Instead, he stared at the person's ears.
It was a pair of pointed ears, like the fairy in the movies; they were extremely beautiful. However, there were no fairies in this world. This pair of ears were obviously not human; it was clear who this girl was.
She was a demonic woman, a Fiend Race woman.
Mu Xinya waved her hand and a long white robe appeared on her body. She quickly put it on in front of Xiao Chen, covering up all her body parts.
Mu Xinya looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Senior Brother Ye, it is not convenient for me to tell you the reason for this. The entire Spirit Mine is in chaos now. Stay here and don't move. After I settle this, I will bring you out."
"I said it before; I will do my best to find an opportunity to save you and return the favor."
"Hu!
Hu! "After Mu Xinya spoke, her figure flashed and turned into a silver bolt of lightning. She quickly disappeared from Xiao Chen's sight. Her speed was actually faster than Xiao Chen's Small Perfection Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art.
Xiao Chen was stunned for a while. In the instant he was stunned, Mu Xinya's figure had already disappeared.
"Chase!"
Xiao Chen followed the path that Mu Xinya had taken and chased after her. He discovered that the path that Mu Xinya took was to the place where the Fiend King was being suppressed.
It was the same route that Xiao Chen remembered. All the traps along the way were activated. Xiao Chen followed without any obstructions. After a while, he finally arrived at the huge underground cave. "Chi! Chi!
Chi! Chi! "
Before Xiao Chen got close, he could hear the sounds of intense fighting. The sounds of killing shook the sky and angry roars resounded. Xiao Chen hid himself and extended out his Spiritual Sense. He carefully observed the situation in the cave.
Within the cave, the underground river acted as a boundary. The Divine Saber Camp's bladesmen who were suppressing the Fiend King all stood there with their sabers in their hands, not making a move.
On the other side of the river was a large army of corpses. They were all the corpses that had been refined using a special method. A rough count gave at least a thousand corpses.
Furthermore, new corpses continued to pour out from the underground. They filled up the huge underground cave. With one glance, it was enough to make one's scalp go numb.
A large group of Heavenly Saber Pavilion Martial Saints were guarding the river, engaging in an intense battle with the corpses that wanted to cross. The scene of the intense battle far surpassed Xiao Chen's expectations. The clear river water was already dyed red.
The strength of these corpses also surpassed Xiao Chen's original estimation. Even a Martial Saint expert would not be able to kill these specially refined corpses in one strike.
