Chapter 24 - Crimson Skull

"Master, what should we do now?" Ye Lin asked.

However, Ye Lin's master did not know that the reason she was able to escape from the blood-colored skeleton's grasp was because of Li Guanglong.

"You cultivate in the sect first, I'll go out for a while." Elder Liu said.

After which, Elder Liu left.

"Back then, when we surrounded and annihilated the Huangquan Sect, I never thought that the demon spawn of the Huangquan Sect was still alive. I wonder if this member of the Huangquan Sect has the Nine Waves Underworld Technique?"

While walking, Elder Liu thought to himself.

Many years ago, the Huangquan Sect developed very quickly and quickly became one of the strongest sects in the entire Ancient Sword Continent.

However, because the Huangquan Sect was an evil organization, all the powers in the Ancient Sword Continent ganged up and annihilated the Huangquan Sect. The Patriarch and the rest of the disciples all died.

Back then, the reason the Huangquan Sect was able to rule over the entire Ancient Sword Continent was because their Huangquan Sect had a technique that could shake the continent, the Nine Winding River Technique that caused countless martial artists to tremble in fear.

It was said that anyone who could obtain the Nine Winding River Technique would be able to increase their strength, and might even have the chance to stand at the peak of the entire Ancient Sword Continent.

However, the Yellow Springs Art was a vicious cultivation technique. Normally, after a martial artist cultivated it, their mind would be affected.

But the disciples of the Huangquan Sect did not have such side effects.

It had already been a long time since the Huangquan Sect was used. Even if it was Elder Liu, he had heard people talking about the Huangquan Sect.

At this moment, when he heard the appearance of the Huangquan Sect's disciples again, Elder Liu could not help but be moved.

The reason why Ye Lin was not allowed to say anything about the Huangquan Sect was because Elder Liu wanted to go to the tomb alone and kill the Huangquan Sect disciples to see if she could obtain the Nine Winding River Technique.

"As long as I can obtain the Nine Winding River Technique, I will be able to become the strongest warrior in the entire Green Edge Sword Sect, or even the Greencloud County."

Elder Liu's eyes flashed with a trace of burning desire.

Two days later, Elder Liu appeared in the Liang Yun Mountain range that was a hundred miles away from Liang Yun City. According to Ye Lin's directions, he arrived at the top of the mountain.

After a short moment of sensing, Elder Liu discovered the underground tomb.

"Here."

After Elder Liu entered the tomb, he fell into a maze.

"An insignificant skill."

Elder Liu coldly snorted and waved his hand. Immediately, a wave of boundless spiritual power turned into a pillar as it bombarded the wall of the maze.

The maze was broken and the coffin appeared in front of Elder Liu.

Elder Liu felt a trace of evil from the coffin and a smile appeared on his face.

"It really is the aura of the Huangquan Sect." Elder Liu quickly walked towards the coffin.

However, when Elder Liu arrived in front of the coffin, he found that the coffin was empty.

"Hmm? Could it be that the blood-colored skeleton was alerted and left? " Elder Liu was a little doubtful.

Just at this moment, a hoarse voice entered Elder Liu's ears.

"Are you looking for me?"

With that said, the blood-colored skeleton instantly appeared in the tomb. Behind it, three other figures followed, namely Jin Yunyun, the seventh day, and Fang Chen.

"I was wondering who it was. So it was a small fry in Huangquan Sect. It seems like you have control of their minds, right?" Upon seeing the blood-colored skeleton, Elder Liu sneered.

Elder Liu was also a qi transformation realm expert, so when facing a blood-colored skeleton with similar qi transformation realm, he was not afraid in the slightest, and directly said.

"You are courting death."

The blood-colored skeleton gave a cold snort and gave the order. Three shadows, three shadows behind it, suddenly exploded with a tyrannical attack, surrounding and annihilating Elder Liu.

"An insignificant skill."

Elder Liu let out a low growl as he brandished the long sword in his hand. A beam of sword light shot out, causing the entire tomb to tremble.

Puff …

The three streaks of sword-light pierced into the bodies of Jin Yunyun and the other two. Instantly, they were sent flying backwards.

Fang Chen's body heavily struck the wall of the tomb and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face incomparably pale.

"Useless thing."

Seeing this scene, the crimson skulls coldly snorted and spoke with disdain. At the same time, the crimson skulls also attacked.

Rumble …

The moment the blood-colored skeleton attacked, it immediately exploded with an incomparably tyrannical power. It tightly clenched its fist, and the sound of its bones cracking rang out. A majestic fist light appeared.

Elder Liu and the blood-colored skeleton were engaged in a fierce battle, while Jin Yunyun and the Seventh Heaven were quietly standing there with wooden expressions on their faces.

At this time, Fang Chen had just stood up and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Suddenly, his golden heart beat faster, following that, a clear stream appeared. This clear stream did not spread to his body's limbs and bones, but completely entered Fang Chen's mind.

Hiss, hiss, hiss …

After this flow of energy entered Fang Chen's mind, it immediately surrounded and annihilated that little black dot in Fang Chen's mind.

At the moment, Fang Chen's face was full of struggle, but no one noticed it.

In that split-second, Fang Chen's body suddenly trembled, following that, Fang Chen's eyes lit up.

"Fortunately, I have a golden heart. Otherwise, I really would have become a puppet of a blood-colored skeleton." Fang Chen felt a burst of fear.

If not for the assistance of the golden heart, he would have long since become a puppet of the blood-colored skeleton.

Fang Chen looked at Jin Yunyun and the seventh day quietly and realized that the two of them were still as stiff as ever.

"It seems like they don't have as much luck as I do." Fang Chen pretended to be under control, his expression once again dull, but his mind was quickly thinking of a way to escape.

Rumble …

Within the tomb, the battle between the two had reached its climax.

"Damn it! If it wasn't for the fact that my injuries weren't completely healed, I would have already killed you!" The blood-colored skeleton was flustered and angry as it roared.

"Remnants of the Huangquan Sect, today will be the day you die." Elder Liu shouted and the two began to fight again.

Time slowly passed, Fang Chen's body unwittingly moved towards the exit of the tomb.

After around fifteen minutes had passed, Fang Chen finally found the right time. His figure flashed, and he directly rushed out of the tomb.

Crash …

Fang Chen's body disappeared, and the blood skull that was in the midst of a fierce battle discovered that it had lost contact with Fang Chen, and was instantly shocked.

"Go and bring him back." As the blood-colored skeleton fought, it gave the order.

"Yes, Master."

Jin Yun and the seventh day quickly left the tomb to look for Fang Chen.

After Fang Chen left the tomb, he quickly flew off into the distance, and after a while, he completely left the mountain peak where the tomb was.

When Fang Chen appeared in the vicinity of Liang Yun City, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Jin Yun and the seventh day searched for a long time, but could not find Fang Chen. The two of them shook their heads and returned to the tomb.

At this time, within the tomb, the battle had already ended. The blood-red skeleton was sitting cross-legged, and there were several wounds on its body.

In front of him, Elder Liu was standing there quietly. His eyes were dull and expressionless.

"Old thing, if I didn't have this treasure, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything to you." As the crimson skull spoke, it took out a triangular metal piece.

It was because of this metal plate that the blood-colored skeleton had defeated Elder Liu and thus controlled him.

However, even though it was slightly injured, the blood-colored skeleton was still very happy, because today, he had obtained a puppet of the qi transformation realm.

"That brat ran away. We can't stay here for long."

When the Blood Skull thought of Fang Chen, it grinded its teeth in hatred, but in the end, it left the tomb along with the three puppets.

Fang Chen immediately returned to the Green Edge Sword Sect and found his own master.

"Fang Chen, didn't you go to complete the mission? Could it be that it has already been completed? " When the Ninth Elder saw Fang Chen, he was especially happy.

"Master, when we were exploring the tomb this time, we actually encountered the remnants of the Huangquan Sect." Fang Chen said.

"What, a remnant of the Huangquan Sect?" Hearing Huangquan Sect, Ninth Elder's face became a little serious.

"That's right, after we enter the tomb …"

Fang Chen carefully explained what happened inside the tomb to the Ninth Elder.

After Patriarch Nine heard it, his face slightly changed. The Huangquan Sect who had shocked the whole of the Ancient Sword Continent back then was finally exterminated by the combined forces of all the forces.

Who would have thought that after so many years, the remnants of the Huangquan Sect would once again return to life.

"Fang Chen, this is a very important matter, I need to discuss it with the other higher-ups of the sect." Patriarch Nine said in a deep voice.

Fang Chen nodded, something like this was no longer something he could handle.

"Cultivate well." After Patriarch Nine finished, he left immediately.

On the way back, Fang Chen saw Ye Lin.

"Hmm? Ye Lin? "

But in a moment, Fang Chen understood, it was definitely Ye Lin who told the news to Clan Elder Liu, and Clan Elder Liu evidently did not tell the upper echelons of the sect.

"Could it be that Elder Liu is plotting something?" Fang Chen was a little confused.

When Fang Chen saw Ye Lin, Ye Lin also noticed Fang Chen.

Seeing Fang Chen, there was obviously a hint of surprise on Ye Lin's beautiful face, and he immediately walked towards him.

"Fang Chen, I never thought that you would also return alive. "What about the others?" Ye Lin asked.

"Dead." Fang Chen said indifferently.

"What?" They're all dead? " Ye Lin acted as if she was shocked.

Fang Chen scoffed coldly. This woman, Ye Lin was simply a venomous snake that wanted to take advantage of others. She didn't even hesitate to let Li Guanglong die just for her own life.

Seeing that Fang Chen was about to leave, Ye Lin stopped him.

"Fang Chen, regarding that matter, please do not spread it."

Ye Lin said in a low voice.

Ye Lin originally thought that with everyone dying, no one would know that she had killed Li Guanglong. However, she never expected that Fang Chen had actually come back alive.

"First, we have to stabilize this kid. When we find a chance to kill him, no one will know about that matter." Ye Lin thought.

"Fang Chen, as long as you agree, I can agree to any of your requests … Including the body. " Ye Lin said in a low voice.
