Chapter 154: Indifference (Third Update)

  It was a canyon, the canyon was not large, only about ten miles long and one mile wide, as if the flat ground had cracked open a mouth, stretching horizontally inside the Qu Ting Mountain.

  In the canyon, a gloomy and eerie atmosphere permeated, and the stench of rotting corpses could be smelled from far away. The entire canyon was shrouded in darkness, with countless vines covering the top, blocking out any sunlight for years on end. When Tang Feng arrived at this place, he found that there were no spiritual beasts nearby, and as he wandered around, he even saw an old and frail spiritual beast slowly walking to the edge of the canyon, then slowly entering it, never to be seen again.

  Tang Feng originally wanted to go and investigate further, but was stopped by Ling Jueyan.

  Beast Tomb! This is what Ling Jie Yuan told Tang Feng, that in every place where the spiritual beasts multiply and live, there will be such an existence. When those old spiritual beasts who are not far from the end of their lives sense that their time is almost up, they will come to this place, and then quietly wait for death.

  The beast tomb can be said to be a sacred place in the heart of the spiritual beasts, because countless companions' corpses are lying here. This is also the reason why there is no spiritual beast activity nearby.

  "Now that he's dead, don't go disturbing them." Ling Jue said this with a somewhat sorrowful tone.

  Tang Feng was completely baffled by her, when she swallowed those yin souls, Ling Jue didn't even bat an eyelid, logically speaking, those yin souls were also formed after people died. She didn't care about human yin souls at all, but for some reason, she cared a lot about the spiritual beasts.

  But now it's clearly not the time to care about these things, and the stench in the canyon also made Tang Feng unbearable, so he left this place.

  "After resting for half a day and recovering, Tang Feng said: 'This way of searching isn't going to work, why don't you release your aura and imprint her instead?'"

  Ling Jue's face turned pale and her little head shook like a rattle drum: "This is too reckless."

  "What can be done?" Tang Feng analyzed: "Moreover, even if I find her, it's definitely going to end up in a fight. It's better to lure her out and get it over with, if she really is the aloof one, maybe you won't even need to fight and she'll be devoured by you."

  "This is impossible. She wouldn't let me swallow her even if she had no interest in swallowing me."

  "She doesn't want to? Then give her a good beating."

  Ling Jie's face fell silent for a moment, then she opened her mouth and asked: "Feng Gege, are you really able to possess the strength of a Tianjie middle-grade in a short period of time? If not, we can leave now and don't have to look for her."

  "Of course you can, you think I'm fooling you, although I've never used this power before, but I know how to use it."

  "If Tianjie Middle Grade is added with my restriction on her, even if she has the strength of Tianjie Upper Grade, we can still beat her. Now I don't know if she also has her own master like me."

  "If we can't beat them, let's run." Tang Feng said, "I have a decent armor to protect myself, plus my mid-tier Tianjie strength, I should be able to get away."

  "Are you sure about this?" Ling Yijian asked solemnly.

  "What's the point of wasting so many days? This matter should have been settled long ago, and we've already searched for so many days, gone so far, and there's no room to turn back. If I were to give up now, Tang Feng would be too disappointed."

  "Then get ready, let's have a competition."

  If it really doesn't work out, even if I have to exhaust my spiritual energy and suffer damage, I won't let anything happen to you. Ling Huai had made up her mind.

  Actually, there's nothing much to prepare for. Tang Feng has just coated all his hidden weapons with anesthetics, even the dagger will knock someone out. Before he can determine what kind of state Ling Yu is in, Tang Feng doesn't dare use poison on her, in case he accidentally kills her, that would be a huge loss.

  Everything was ready, and after waiting for Tang Feng's hint, Ling Jueyan slowly released her own breath.

  The always-worn-out armor suddenly emitted a faint, seven-colored glow. This flash of light came and went in an instant.

  A moment later, Ling Jue reminded Tang Feng in his heart: "She's here! Thirty miles to the left!"

  The distance is so close! Tang Feng didn't expect the other party to be nearby, but this was also an unavoidable situation. In this crisis-ridden place, Tang Feng couldn't possibly search openly and all actions had to be carried out stealthily. Moreover, his strength wasn't enough, so he naturally couldn't sense any movements thirty miles away.

  His eyes stared fixedly in the direction of the left, exerting his mind to sense, and before half a stick of incense had burned, Tang Feng sensed that a powerful aura was approaching from this side. This aura was cold, not ordinary cold, but a kind of indifferent cold.

  This aura is almost as strong as those top-notch Heaven Stage experts he has encountered, and even if it's not as good as Tang Ye's, it's not much weaker.

  He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his entire being was on high alert. A moment later, a snow-white figure suddenly darted over from not far away, instantly appearing thirty feet in front of Tang Feng.

  Tang Feng's eyes fixed on the person, and he let out a bitter laugh for no reason. The newcomer looked exactly like Ling Jueyan. They had the same face, the same mouth and nose, only their height was slightly different, as if Ling Jueyan had grown up a few years.

  Moreover, the two people's temperaments were vastly different. The one in front of him was cold and detached, sizing up Tang Feng from head to toe, while the other had a timid and delicate appearance, like a mischievous little spirit.

  She also had a head of snow-white silver hair that flowed down to her hips. The clothes she wore were neither silk nor brocade, and it was unclear what material they were made of, but they clung tightly to her body, completely exposing her curvaceous figure to Tang Feng's gaze.

  No need to ask, just looking at her temperament, Tang Feng can be sure that she is the cold and detached one. However, she doesn't have any characteristics of a ghost right now, standing there as a living person, with a hint of unruliness and wildness in her cold demeanor.

  "Are you looking for me?" The girl asked, but when she said this sentence, her eyes were not staring at Tang Feng, but staring at Tang Feng's abdomen, because the Not Bad armor was worn there. In her eyes, Tang Feng was as insignificant as air.

  The next moment, Tang Feng felt Ling Jueyan responding in his mind: "Yes!"

  It feels strange, as if I'm a medium, standing here foolishly, listening to the conversation between two Ling Yuans. I can't even hear Ling Yuan's voice, but I can clearly sense what she means.

  "Are you here to devour me, or be devoured by me? If it's the former, then get lost, because you're not qualified. If it's the latter, then get lost as well, because I have no interest in devouring a weak soul like yours." The girl's apathetic face revealed a hint of mockery.

  "What exactly have you possessed?"

  "This doesn't require your concern, at least it's much better than yours. I can breathe, I can live freely and easily, these are enough."

  "Don't you want us to merge together, restore the power of our peak period? Don't you want to take revenge? Although I don't know what you're attached to, it must be a spirit beast! I can hear it, the soul that's being suppressed by you is resisting. You'll never be the true master of this body! One day, it will devour you."

  The girl blinked faintly: "Whatever you say is useless, you should know I'm not interested in these things."

  "You are me, I am you. I need your help, and you need mine!" Ling's tone gradually softened, with a hint of enchantment seeping through.

  A cold glint flashed in the girl's eyes, and the aura around her suddenly became chaotic. The calm atmosphere was replaced by a turbulent one, as an untamed and violent energy surged forth. "If you dare to interfere with my soul again, I will kill this man right now and bury you underground forever!"

  "Feng Gege, take action!" Ling Jue's face turned pale as she cried out in a loud voice. She also knew that even if she wore out her tongue, it would be impossible to persuade the other party. Her own personality was something she understood herself - after the aloof side of her had been stripped away, she was destined not to have much interest in anything.

  This is also one of the easier ones to deal with among Ling Que's five strands of soul.

  At the same time as Ling Jue shouted out, Tang Feng's feet pushed off the ground and he shot towards the girl like an arrow leaving a bowstring.

  The girl sneered: "A mere upper-grade Yellow Rank actually dares to come and seek death! Since that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish!"

  As she spoke, a small hand shot out at incredible speed, shaped like a claw, aiming straight for Tang Feng's crown. As it struck, her five fingers were shrouded in a thin layer of white mist, and before Tang Feng could even get close, he felt an oppressive chill penetrate deep into his bones, almost freezing his soul solid.

  This was Tang Feng's first battle against an opponent as strong as a top-tier Heaven Stage cultivator, so he naturally wouldn't be careless.

  "Return the corpse!" Tang Feng roared, and with his roar, his entire demeanor changed in an instant. A violent aura suddenly centered around him and rapidly spread outwards.

  The name of this ability is indeed unpleasant to hear, but it is an ability obtained after advancing to the third layer of the Unstable Formula.

  Borrowing a corpse to revive the soul, for a short period of time, one can borrow the power of a yin soul that has been condensed before. After borrowing, one's own strength will be enhanced to the state of the yin soul when it was alive. The length of time it can be maintained depends on the density of one's own aura and the supporting ability of the flesh body. The denser the aura in the body, the stronger the flesh body, the longer the maintenance time will be.

  Exerting this ability comes at a tremendous cost. After exerting it, Tang Feng will be unable to use his Qi for a period of time and will also suffer immense pain.

  This ability was also the reason why Tang Feng dared to appear at the Godly Soldier's battle last time to watch the excitement. If he didn't have this ability to protect himself, how would he dare to watch the excitement surrounded by a group of top-notch experts?

  Don't fight a battle you're not sure of winning; don't do something that you're not sure will work. Never put yourself in a dangerous situation. This is the fundamental way to survive.

  This time I came to find another Ling Jue Yan, although there is no guarantee, but Tang Feng has some confidence in retreating unharmed.
