Chapter 2033 Resurrection (2)
Lin Feng, momentarily saved from Li Shan's wrath, stood stunned for a moment before quickly grasping the situation. Instinct kicked in, and he retreated towards Yu Xinlan's position.
Meanwhile, Li Shan's spectral form flickered with curiosity as he turned to the newcomers. His gaze swept across them, landing on Lin Yitong.
Lin Yitong, who had arrived alongside Yun Lintian and the others, stared calmly at Li Shan. The air crackled with unspoken tension. Neither made a further move.
Yun Lintian landed in front of Lin Feng's group and inquired, "What happened?"
"Thank you for saving me," Lin Feng cupped his fists and said gratefully. "I was too eager to enter the tower."
Yun Lintian nodded slightly. It was as he expected. He turned his attention to Li Shan, carefully observing him. Through his Eyes of Heaven, he could see a trace of the Great Law of Death within Li Shan, but he still couldn't understand how Li Shan had returned to life in this spectral form.
"The True Wood Spirit?" Li Shan spoke, his voice eerily cold.
"You retain consciousness," Lin Yitong said, surprised. "That's good. We can talk this out."
"No," Li Shan spoke coldly. "It is my duty to protect my lord."
Before Lin Yitong could respond, Li Shan's aura abruptly exploded. The silver spear, charged with renewed intensity, pulsed with a malevolent light that threatened to obliterate everything in its path.
"How stubborn," Lin Yitong sighed, shaking her head. She raised her jade hand gently. Several thick vines erupted from the ground, immediately rushing towards Li Shan from all directions.
Li Shan flicked his wrist, and the malevolent silver light around his spear erupted, cutting down all the oncoming vines.
However, the vines continued to appear, relentlessly rushing towards him.
"Get lost!" A frustrated roar ripped from Li Shan's spectral form, echoing across the battlefield.
The silver spear whirled in a deadly ballet, severing the relentless green tendrils that sprouted from the ground at Lin Yitong's command. Yet, for every vine he destroyed, two more seemed to erupt, their vibrant life force a stark contrast to the necrotic energy swirling around him.
At this moment, two more green vines suddenly appeared beneath Li Shan's feet and wrapped around his skeletal legs, immobilizing him.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
Li Shan struggled to free himself, but his arms were soon tightly bound by the surrounding green vines. A few seconds later, his entire body was completely immobilized.
"We have some knowledge," Lin Yitong interjected. "Perhaps you should answer our question first."
Li Shan locked eyes with Yun Lintian for a moment before shifting his gaze to Lin Yitong. "A shrouded man and woman, cloaked in white mist. They were incredibly powerful... far stronger than you."
Lin Yitong raised an eyebrow, surprised rather than offended. Many surpassed her in strength, but she hadn't anticipated such a vast gap. Based on Li Shan's description, these individuals were likely several times more powerful than her. Who could they be? The question lingered in her mind.
"What did they do?" she pressed further.
"They simply told me someone would arrive, someone capable of breaking the curse upon me," Li Shan replied without hesitation. He stared at Lin Yitong, a glimmer of hope flickering in his spectral eyes. "Are you the one?"
Lin Yitong furrowed her brow and shook her head regretfully. "I cannot."
Just as Li Shan's disappointment became evident, Lin Yitong continued, "But he might be able to help."
Li Shan turned to Yun Lintian, surprise flickering across his spectral features. "You?"
Yun Lintian met his gaze. "I can't guarantee success, but I'm willing to try."
"What would you ask in return?" Li Shan inquired cautiously.
"Nothing," Yun Lintian replied gently. "I am already indebted to you. Without your intervention during the raid, I might have been trapped by the Asura Gods."
"Then can you tell me what became of my lord?" Li Shan persisted, his voice laced with a newfound urgency.
"Yes," Yun Lintian began, launching into a detailed account of the night of the raid. He naturally omitted any mention of time travel.
Li Shan fell silent for a long time after hearing the tragic tale. The circumstances of his lord's demise were far worse than he had ever imagined.
"The Yellow Emperor's remains should be located on the tower's summit," Yun Lintian resumed. "But where are they now?"
"Within his chambers," Li Shan responded. "I've discovered a significant amount of resources here. Consider them all yours - a token of my gratitude if you can lift the curse."
"Allow me to try it," Yun Lintian declared, soaring towards Li Shan.
