"That's right!" Wu Zhengxiao also touched his bald head and said, "That's what I meant. Earlier, you guys were hiding things, saying that this involved the secret of Zi Ya Manor and couldn't be revealed in advance. You didn't even mention the name of the Yin Mountain. Now that we've arrived at the Yin Mountain, it's time to explain in detail! "
"Hehe …" Zhao Xing smiled and said to Fang Zheng and Fang Ye, "Deacons, now that things have come to this, it's better to explain it to everyone. Otherwise, they'll be confused and can't help you."
Fang Ye looked at Fang Zheng, then turned to Zhao Xing and said, "We're not hiding this from you, Commander Zhao. Why don't you explain it to everyone?"
Zhao Xing looked at Fang Ye and Fang Zheng in surprise, then nodded after thinking for a moment and said, "Alright, then I'll explain it!"
"Lord Wei, Fellow Immortals, this way please …" Zhao Xing said as he flew towards the Yin Mountain.
There was a cave under a faint halo on the stone wall of the Yin Mountain. Zhao Xing pointed at it and said, "This is the Fiendish Condensation Cave where the strongmen of Zi Ya Manor lived. Some strongmen died here before, but their deaths were similar to the Fiendish Condensation Opening Aperture. Zi Ya Manor always thought that it was caused by a mistake in their cultivation and didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until a few years ago when five strongmen died at the same time that Zi Ya Manor was alerted. That's when I came to investigate! "
"I want to see the strongmen's deaths!" Wei Ming said calmly.
"Lord Wei, please …" Facing the immortal official of the Tianji Hall, Zhao Xing no longer had the arrogance he had when facing Xiao Hua and the other immortals. He spoke with a slightly polite tone.
Xiao Hua and the other immortals flew into the cave and were greeted by a gust of cold. Although Xiao Hua had the secret technique of Qingqiu Mountain to conceal his nascent body, the cold pierced through his bones. Xiao Hua couldn't help but shiver as a rather familiar feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.
"Yin wind?" Xiao Hua looked around and thought to himself, "Could there be a Yin Fiend Acupoint here?"
"Lord Wei …" Fang Ye hurriedly explained from the side, "There's Innate Yin Qi in Yin Mountain. Our humble manor has planted Hibernating Silver Grass nearby. Usually, the strongmen also temper their muscles and bones here. Oh, some of the servants who cultivate Yin-type cultivation methods also cultivate nearby!"
Wei Ming's withered yellow eyes swept left and right. He only nodded slightly at Fang Ye's words and did not reply.
The deeper they went, the colder it became. This coldness did not come from the depths of the cave, but from the stone walls. It made them feel as if they were flying in a ball of ice.
Gradually, some caves began to appear on the stone walls. Occasionally, there would be some mediocre cultivators sitting cross-legged. The deeper they went, the larger the caves became. Strongmen began to appear, their bodies flickering with dark silver light. Within the passageway, strands of cold Yin Qi flowed into these stone caverns like streams.
After flying for half a cup of tea's time, Zhao Xing stopped. He pointed at a stone wall and said, "The corpses of a few strongmen are still here. Lord Wei, please inspect them!"
Fang Ye hurriedly flew over. With a wave of his hand, a silver token that looked like an immortal herb landed on the stone wall. With a "swoosh", a faint oval halo rippled out from where the token landed. A few stone caverns were revealed under the halo.
There was a strongman sitting cross-legged in each stone cavern. These strongmen were abnormally shriveled like mummies. Other than a thin layer of ice on the surface of their bodies, there were strange dark green stripes under the ice. These stripes were either in the shape of branches or clouds. There was even a straight line that ran through the spine of one of the mummies!
"Mm!" Wei Ming took a look and nodded. "On the surface, it looks like the Yin Fiend Acupoint Opening. Different Yin Fiends overflow from the strongmen's bodies and condense into different Fiend Images! When the Yin Fiends escape, they also condense into Fiend Ice. However, the flesh and blood of these strongmen's corpses seems to have been sucked dry. This is different from the Yin Fiend Acupoint Opening. After all, when Fiend Ice is formed, the blood vessels should be frozen! "
"Lord Wei …" Zhao Xing nodded and said, "You're right. However, when I first saw these corpses, they didn't dry up like this. There was still a lot of flesh and blood left. I'm afraid this is caused by the uniqueness of the Yin Mountain!"
Wei Ming raised his head and looked around the stone cavern. He didn't answer Zhao Xing. Instead, he said, "What about those lowly handymen?"
"They're in another place!" Fang Zheng hurriedly said, "Their bodies can't withstand such strong Yin Fiend Qi!"
As Fang Zheng said, in another cave, the Yin Fiend Qi was much lighter. Moreover, there were some light-colored plants covering the stone walls. However, when Fang Zheng opened the stone cavern that sealed the handymen's corpses, Xiao Hua's expression changed greatly. His body involuntarily flew backward, as if he wanted to escape!
"Fellow Immortal Ren?" Xiaoxiang Zi was not far from Xiao Hua. He was a little curious about Xiao Hua's abnormal behavior. He hurriedly transmitted his voice, "What did you find?"
"Nothing! Nothing! "Xiao Hua realized that he had lost his composure. He hurriedly steadied himself and transmitted his voice.
Fortunately, Wei Ming and the others were in front of him. They were attracted by the dead bodies of the handymen and didn't notice Xiao Hua's actions.
He saw six handymen sitting cross-legged in a large stone cavern. Their heads were smashed, their chests and abdomens were cut open. The blood on their bodies and on the ground had already dried up. In Xiao Hua's eyes, this tragic scene was the same as the death of the Chi Family's father and son in Helan Que's Cavalry Mansion. Xiao Hua immediately thought of the Immortal Puppet and the powerhouse who had descended from God. How could he not be frightened?
At this moment, Xiao Hua didn't know that the powerhouse was already looking for him. However, he had Chi Xiaoxia in his space. If the powerhouse wanted to find Chi Xiaoxia, he would definitely look for him first. Xiao Hua was always vigilant. If he sensed any signs of trouble, he would immediately run for Wen Feng. Who would have thought that he would walk right into the trap?
After calming himself down, Xiao Hua began to observe the stone cavern. At this moment, he was more careful than anyone else! After observing for a while, Xiao Hua discovered the difference. The Chi Family's father and son had their immortal marks destroyed by the Immortal Puppet. Their brains and other things were still in their heads. However, the heads of the cultivators here were damaged. Their brains and other things were no longer in their heads. As for their chests and abdomens, they were the same. Regardless of whether it was their Immortal Infant or Nascent Soul, they were all taken away!
"Cavalry shooting dead spirits?!" A thought appeared in Xiao Hua's mind. If it was said that in the Mount Shooting Manor, the immortal puppet pretended to be a dead spirit to conceal its true intentions, then this place might be a real dead spirit attacking cultivators and strong men!
"It's a little weird!" Wei Ming still squinted his eyes. After observing for a while, he shook his head and said, "I've only seen this kind of killing method on Mortal Fairies. The Nascent Soul of a servant … is not worth any money? Who would want this? Oh, by the way, Fellow Immortal Ren, when you alchemists refine pills, you still use the Immortal Infant as your main ingredient, right? You don't use the Nascent Souls of unrated cultivators, do you? "
Xiao Hua bit his lips lightly. After thinking for a while, he replied, "Although the Nascent Souls of unrated cultivators contain Immortal Qi, their bodies are extremely small. They are fundamentally different from the Immortal Infant. To put it bluntly, it's the difference between Immortal Fruits and Immortal Seeds. Basically, they can't be used for refining pills!"
After saying that, Xiao Hua looked at Zhao Junzan and reminded him, "Immortals like us can't use these Nascent Souls. Could they be some spiritual bodies?"
Zhao Junzan nodded hurriedly. "Yes, yes, could they be dead spirits? Yin spirits? Or demon spirits? "
"No, no!" Fang Zheng and Fang Ye refuted in unison. "There have never been any spiritual bodies around Zi Ya Manor. How could they be dead spirits?"
"That's true!" Zhao Xing also explained. "As far as I know, there have never been any spiritual bodies in Xi Chen Grassland, let alone Zi Ya Manor. When I came here for the first time, I also had the same idea. I've already sent the Immortal Soldiers to search the area, but they didn't find any traces of spiritual bodies. "
"What about the other corpses?" Wei Ming obviously didn't want to be entangled in this detail. He immediately asked.
"The nearest corpses are outside!" Fang Ye said as he led the immortals out of the cave.
The buildings outside the mountain rock were scattered in picturesque disorder. They were either small buildings or courtyards. They looked somewhat similar to the mortal world. According to Fang Ye's explanation, this was where the odd-job workers of Zi Ya Manor lived. These odd-job workers were the ones that Xiao Hua and the others saw when they flew over. They were all Mortal Fairies of the lowest level. Some of them were only at the Mahayana and Tribulation Passing stage. When these cultivators of the lowest level in the Immortal World saw Xiao Hua and the other immortals flying over, they all bowed respectfully, their eyes full of fear.
After flying over a mountain range, the odd-job workers were already scarce. Most of the courtyards on the mountain range were also dilapidated and barren. Without the protection of the Immortal Restriction, the pavilions in the continuous rain were easily corroded.
Zhao Xing led the immortals into a courtyard. The immortals saw four corpses lying around the courtyard. The Immortal Restriction around three of the corpses had already been damaged. When the rain fell on the corpses, their clothes melted, revealing their flesh. The flesh was green, and there were greenish-brown veins all over it. When the raindrops hit it, it sounded as hard as a mountain rock.
When Fang Ye saw this, he was a little embarrassed. He raised his hand and wanted to replenish the Immortal Restriction with some Immortal Power. However, when the silver light flashed between his fingers, he retracted it. At this time, it was inevitable that it would be more conspicuous if he tried to cover it up.
Wei Ming's figure landed, and there was no special expression on his face. He let out Wannian to investigate, and then he stretched out his finger and flicked one of the corpses.
Sure enough, there was a "clang" sound, and the corpse let out a golden sound!
Wei Ming pointed with his finger, and the corpse lying on the ground flipped over. This was an old female cultivator. There was a big hole between her eyebrows, and it was empty inside. There was also a long crack on her chest and abdomen. The edges of the crack were smooth, as if it had been split open by a sharp blade. The expression on the female cultivator's face looked very tranquil. Her eyebrows were even slightly raised, and she seemed to be in high spirits.
"Interesting!" Wei Ming obviously also saw the female cultivator's expression. He couldn't help but mutter, "It seems that when she died, she was not happy. Instead, she was somewhat happy!"
"Sir, you are very observant!" Zhao Xing nodded and said, "I didn't pay attention to it at first. Later, I found that 40% of the corpses had such a strange expression. If I'm not wrong, she should have fallen into an illusion array before she died. "
