"Ore mine?" Yang Xuan recalled the small beads that were still lying in his storage ring.
An Ye didn't explain. She just flew up and directly flew to the bottom of the pit.
Yang Xuan naturally followed her.
When they reached the bottom of the pit, An Ye pushed aside the corpse that was crawling next to her. She casually picked up a stone from a small cart at the side and crushed it slightly. A small round ball was revealed from inside. She then handed it to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan took it and looked at it. It was the thing that he had always kept in his storage ring. He didn't know what it was used for, but it was called an ore bead.
"The culprit isn't after the ore beads." An Ye said in a deep voice, "The ore beads here have no traces of being touched."
Yang Xuan nodded. The culprit's goal was obviously not the ore beads.
Yang Xuan sent out his Divine Sense slightly. Suddenly, he let out a soft cry of surprise.
Then, he quickly flew toward a mine that looked like it had just been dug out not long ago.
When he arrived at the mine, he saw that there was a deep hole paved with bluestone at the bottom of the mine. It emitted waves of cold air.
An Ye also flew over and observed for a while. She frowned and said, "This was dug out from underground."
Yang Xuan nodded. It was obvious that the disciples of the Sacred Mountain had dug out this tunnel when they were mining ore.
"Shall we go down and take a look?" An Ye glanced at Yang Xuan and said.
After saying that, she took the lead and jumped down.
Yang Xuan sent out his Divine Sense. After a strange look in his eyes, he also jumped down.
The tunnel wasn't very deep. The two of them reached the bottom in a short while. They found that it was a square tomb. It wasn't very big. There was a black stone coffin in the middle of the tomb. The lid of the coffin had been opened, but there was no corpse inside.
An Ye walked up to take a look. She frowned and said, "Zombie?"
Yang Xuan asked curiously, "Zombie?"
An Ye nodded, then shook her head. "It looks like it, but I'm not sure. Our Sacred Mountain has a cultivation method that can refine living people into corpse puppets, also known as zombies."
Old Yang Xuan still didn't understand. The Dark Night explained, "Zombies aren't rare. After a person dies, for some reason, their soul can't leave their body, and it won't dissipate. Over time, they will become a creature with no clear mind. They are zombies."
Yang Xuan somewhat understood.
The Dark Night continued, "My Sacred Mountain has a hall called the Corpse Hall. It specializes in the study of corpse puppets and zombies. You will know in the future."
Dark Night took a look at the surroundings, but there was nothing to be found. She frowned and said, "It seems like the disciples here unintentionally dug out a powerful zombie and had their life force sucked away by it. However, this zombie is a little too powerful. There's a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator guarding this place, and yet, he still died."
Yang Xuan was a little surprised when he heard this. He had only heard of zombies, but had never seen one before. How could it be so powerful? Even Semi-Divinity realm experts were no match for him?
The Dark Night looked around for a while longer, and after confirming that there was nothing to be found, she returned to the mine.
Yang Xuan didn't jump out of the tomb immediately. Sensing the decaying aura coming from the coffin, he had a feeling that this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed.
However, this had nothing to do with him. In any case, it would depend on how the Sacred Mountain dealt with it.
After jumping out of the tomb, the Dark Night said, "Alright, let's leave this place to the people from the Corpse Hall."
Yang Xuan nodded. "What about these origin pearls?"
"Just leave them there. Someone will come and deal with them. But if you're interested, you can take some. I didn't see anything."
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "I still don't know what they can do."
The Dark Night flew to the side and said casually, "This is a power source. There are people who use it as currency."
Confusion surfaced in Yang Xuan's eyes.
Power source? Why did this term appear so abruptly in this world?
However, he didn't ask further. He would know when the time came.
The Dark Night stopped beside a corpse and called Yang Xuan, "Come and take a look."
Yang Xuan flew over to take a look. It was the corpse of an old man. His complexion was greenish-black, just like the one before.
"This is the False Divinity realm expert guarding this place. He used to be a powerful figure. I didn't expect him to die here." The Dark Night sighed.
Saying so, she squatted down and took off a storage ring from the dead man's finger. After checking it, she said, "There's nothing. This person was poor. There were only a few clothes and a dozen origin pearls in the ring."
After searching for a while and finding nothing, the Dark Night put the ring back on the dead man's finger and said, "Don't touch this place. Let the people from the Corpse Hall deal with it. Let's go."
After saying so, she flew out of the passage.
Yang Xuan called out to Monkey, who was bored to death by the side, and flew out as well.
After leaving the surface, the Dark Night closed the passage and found the advisor in a room.
"Something happened down there. You will be in charge of this place for the time being. Wait for the people from the sect to come and take over." The Dark Night didn't hold back at all.
The advisor knelt on the ground and obediently agreed.
After leaving the small county, the Dark Night said to Yang Xuan, "Brother Bai, let's return to the sect now."
Yang Xuan nodded. He had long wanted to enter the mysterious Sacred Mountain to investigate, and the Dark Night's words were exactly what he wanted.
In the following days, Yang Xuan and the Dark Night began to head in a certain direction.
The Sacred Mountain was definitely not close. Even with Yang Xuan and the Dark Night's speed, they still flew for almost a month before the Dark Night slowed down.
The Dark Night landed on a rock and said, "We're almost there."
It was already late at night, and there wasn't a trace of light in front of them. The damp sea breeze blew over, bringing with it a fishy smell that assailed their nostrils.
"The Sacred Mountain is on the sea?" Yang Xuan asked curiously.
The Dark Night nodded and smiled, "What do you think?"
Yang Xuan shook his head, "I thought the Sacred Mountain was a mountain."
The Dark Night nodded, "You can put it that way, but it's a mountain on the sea. To be more precise, it's an island."
Yang Xuan understood.
The Dark Night continued, "Let's wait for dawn, we'll take a boat."
Yang Xuan asked curiously, "Why do we need to take a boat?"
"If we don't take a boat, you'll never reach the Sacred Mountain." The Dark Night explained, "If we fly through the air, even if you fly to the end of the world, you won't be able to see the Sacred Mountain."
"There's an illusion?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Something like that, but it's more complicated. This was created by the people from the Array Hall." The Dark Night said.
Next, Dark Night started a bonfire and took out two jars of wine. He handed one to Yang Xuan. Looking at the monkey who was drooling at the side, he took out another jar with a wry smile and gave it to him.
The two of them and the monkey didn't need to rest. After a night, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the sea, the Dark Night stood up and said, "Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew up.
When they landed, they found themselves in a small town by the sea.
As soon as they entered the town, Yang Xuan was slightly surprised.
Surprisingly, there were three Nihility God realm experts in the small town, and there were even more Semi-Divinity realm and Dao realm experts in the area.
As soon as they landed, someone walked over and bowed to the Dark Night, "Lord Sacred Envoy, what are your orders?"
The Dark Night said directly, "Make the arrangements, we're going back to the mountain!"
That person looked at Yang Xuan and Monkey, without the slightest hint of surprise on his face as he said, "Sacred Envoy, there is a boat at this moment, but it is arranged for the Fourth Holy Son. The next boat will arrive in four hours."
The Dark Night hesitated for a moment and said, "Go and ask the Fourth Saint if he can take the same boat."
The man bowed and left.
Not long after, he came back and said, "The Fourth Saint said it's okay! Please come with me. "
The Dark Night nodded to Yang Xuan and followed.
Not long after, they saw a huge black boat docked at the pier by the sea.
When Yang Xuan and the Dark Night stepped on the deck, they heard someone say in a cold tone, "The Dark Night, this is Bai Qi?"
