Martial Peak

angerous place.”

“I don’t know if this place is a Corpse Cave, but the Corpse Qi deeper inside is indeed quite rich and the chill in the air is also extremely potent.
Those sleeping Corpse Soldiers were also absorbing the Yin Qi in the air from what I could see.”

“If that’s so, this is definitely a Corpse Cave,” Yang Yan was startled and quickly muttered, “With so many Corpse Soldiers here, it’s likely that only part of them were disciples of the Ancient Yang Sect while another part were cultivators that were later killed and entombed here.
It seems we’ve come to quite a terrible place.”

“Since we’re already here, there’s no point in thinking too much about it,” Yang Kai grinned meaningfully, and with a quick thought, a streak of flame flew over from afar and soon dove into Yang Kai’s body, disappearing in the next instant.
Obviously it was the Artifact Spirit he had released to scout the situation before.

Seeing this, Yang Yan clenched her teeth and once again activated her necklace artifact.
This time though, the concealment halo of this necklace not only wrapped around her, but also around Yang Kai as well.

In an instant, both of their auras disappeared.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded before quietly moving forward.

Since the Corpse Soldiers down below were in a deep sleep, they weren’t a cause for concern.
The only thing that made Yang Kai a little worried was the Saint King Grade Corpse Soldier he had wounded before that was still hidden somewhere.
Yang Kai also didn’t dare to freely investigate this place, so he was unable to find this wounded Corpse Soldier immediately.

As the pair passed by some of the tunnel offshoots, they clearly noticed a burgeoning Corpse Qi as well as some non-negligible noises coming from the inside, but these noises were orderly and rhythmic so it was obvious that without some great external shock, the slumbering Corpse Soldiers wouldn’t awaken.

Whenever passing by these tunnels, Yang Yan couldn’t help moving closer to Yang Kai, as if she was subconsciously looking for some sense of security.

Fortunately, Yang Yan’s artifacts were all superb and the two had plenty of preparation, so no trace of their auras leaked out.

While the two of them were continuing their exploration though, deep inside the Corpse Cave three skinny Corpse Soldiers were sitting cross-legged on the ground, circulating some kind of strange Secret Art that allowed them to inhale the surrounding white gas and strengthen their bodies.

These three Corpse Soldiers all emitted auras equivalent to peak Third-Order Saint Kings.

In a flash, another Corpse Soldier suddenly entered this passageway looking extremely disheveled.
One of his arms had been cut off at the elbow, making him appear quite miserable.

As soon as he appeared, he was noticed by the other three Corpse Soldiers who opened their eyes to look at him.
In an instant, six ghostly green eyes flashed.

“Oh, Brother Nie, how did you become like this?” One of the Corpse Soldiers saw his companion’s broken arm and asked in surprise, “Did you encounter some kind of danger outside?”

The eyes of the wounded Corpse Soldier flashed with anger as he grits his teeth and said, “I truly encounter some danger, and in a moment of carelessness, my arm was cut off!”

“Such a thing actually happened!?” The Corpse Soldier who had spoken just now called out in surprised, “After so many years, did an Origin Realm cultivator enter Grand Burial Valley? Did you run into such a master?”

“It wasn’t an Origin Returning Realm master, it was just a Second-Order Saint King,” The wounded Corpse Soldier said, seemingly a little ashamed, “This Nie let his guard down and was unexpectedly injured heavily.”

“Haha, Brother Nie must be joking.
If we were still humans, such an injury would be very difficult to heal, but in our current state, a cut off arm isn’t even worth worrying about.
As long as you use a bit of time and circulate your Corpse Qi you should be able to re-attach it in short order.”

“I’m afraid that Brother Nie’s injury can’t be healed so simply,” Another Corpse Soldier with long hair said in an unexpectedly pleasant to the ear voice after seemingly noticing something.
This Corpse Soldier actually turned out to be a woman, and although her figure was somewhat distorted now, it was conceivable that before she died she was quite a beauty.

“Why so?” The Corpse Soldier who spoke previously asked suspiciously.

“If I’m not mistaken, part of Brother Nie’s severed arm is missing, right?” The female Corpse Soldier’s eyes flashed.

Hearing what she said, the other two sitting Corpse Soldiers took a second look and discovered that this was indeed the case.
The broken arm brought back by the wounded Corpse Soldier was indeed missing a segment, almost as if his arm had been cut twice by some kind of extremely sharp blade.

“Could a Second-Order Saint King really be so powerful? Brother Nie, did you underestimate your opponent?” The female Corpse Soldier said with some meaning of blame.

“It’s not that this Nie underestimated him, it’s just that the power he used was too strange.
I’ve never encountered a technique like that before,” The wounded Corpse Soldier recalled that black blade-like attack and even though he was already a corpse, he couldn’t stop himself from shivering slightly.
If he hadn’t reacted quickly enough, he would likely have died again.
After his last death, he had been brought back by the Corpse Soldiers inside this Corpse Cave and had to cultivate for a hundred years before regaining his sentience; he then spent centuries to achieve his current strength.
If he died again, he would forever disappear.

“What kind of power?” The other three Corpse Soldiers felt surprised and quickly asked.
