Chapter Thirty-One: The Depths

  ♂?,,

  Qing Lin's face always wore a faint smile, and he glanced at Qing Feng and said: "Let's go."

  "Hey, Qingdie sister, I found that this Qingyun seems to have really changed into a different person. That nauseating gaze of his is gone, and if it weren't for his face, I wouldn't dare believe he's still Qingyun."

  Qingdie glanced at Lie Teng's back and didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

  For almost half a time, no spiritual beast was encountered. However, the eyebrows of Qingxue were slightly frowned, and her face showed a solemn expression. Lie Teng also felt an inexplicable sense of crisis. The light in the sky was somewhat dim, and the surrounding area was filled with bones and abandoned refining equipment. Suddenly, Lie Teng's eyes quickly narrowed, and he could vaguely see several figures in front of him. With his keen eyesight, he saw that they were wearing tattered gray clothes, moving slowly, like walking corpses.

  "It's a corpse!" Qing Xue stopped in her tracks and turned around, saying in a low voice.

  "Qingxue Shijie, what is a corpse puppet?" Qing Yi looked at the figure walking back and forth in front of her with growing confusion.

  "They were all disciples of the Puppet Sect, but unfortunately, they missed the time to leave and got trapped here. After a hundred years, the secret realm of the Puppet Sect reopened, and they became walking corpses that only knew how to attack, the puppet zombies. As for what happened during the hundred years when the secret realm was closed, no one knows." Qing Xue said in a low voice.

  "What? Has the time for going out been delayed again? Right, how many days have we been here already?" Qing Wei hastily called out in a low voice, while Qing Ze, Qing Qing and others' faces all turned pale as they looked towards Qing Lin.

  "In half a month, the secret realm will open for half a year, it's still early." Qing Lin replied, her eyes looking forward, after a brief pause, she continued: "These Corpse Puppets are not highly cultivated, many of them are only at the second layer of gathering spirits. Let's go, by passing through the Corpse Puppets, we will definitely obtain some good treasures."

  "Not bad, a treasure?" Qing Wei, Qing Wei and others' eyes lit up at the same time. They came to the secret realm for the treasure, rumored to have top-grade spiritual instruments, and even true instruments. Lie Teng didn't share the same excitement as Qing Wei and others, thinking that good spiritual instruments and true instruments required risk to obtain, and it wouldn't be so simple ahead. However, Lie Teng wasn't too worried with the Heaven Shield's protection, he could retreat safely. What surprised Lie Teng was that Qing Xuan's puppet was an eagle-like head, spreading its wings as wide as two zhang, its feathers like steel, claws like iron hooks, and a faint cold glow emanating from it, clearly not an ordinary spiritual beast, Lie Teng determined in his heart that this eagle was likely a second-grade third-level spiritual beast.

  "Go, everyone be ready to attack at any time." Qing Lin said in a low voice, his puppet quickly flew forward and rushed into the corpse puppets within a few breaths. Two sharp claws directly grasped the top of a corpse puppet's head, and with a forceful grab, the corpse puppet's skull emitted several clear and crisp sounds of breaking bones, slowly falling to the ground. Qing Feng and the others took in a cold breath, all thinking whether their own skulls could withstand this old eagle's claw?

  When Lie Teng and the others arrived at the range of the corpse puppets, dozens of corpse puppets had already fallen to the ground, their skulls were all gruesome. The old eagle's flying ability took absolute advantage at this time, the corpse puppets on the ground held damaged spirit swords to attack, but they were directly shattered by the eagle's claws. Lie Teng and the others also controlled the puppets to start attacking, eleven people slowly entered the depths. The puppets in this place were not much different from what Qing Lin said, and there were not many attacks on the ground, but there were still many intact spirit instruments, most of which were low-grade spirit instruments.

  As he went deeper, Lie Teng felt a sense of crisis. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked forward, several disciples were flying with their swords in the distance. When he took a closer look, Lie Teng took a deep breath, the ones flying with their swords in front weren't actually Gui Sect disciples, but rather Corpse Puppets!

  "That's... a corpse puppet? How can it fly?" Qing Yu covered her mouth with her small hand, staring at the flying corpse puppet in front of her and exclaimed.

  "They are all disciples of the third and fourth layers of the Cong Ling, retaining their strength from when they were alive. Everyone be careful." Qing Lin said in a low voice with a calm expression, stepping on the spirit device and flying forward with Lao Ying, while Qing Die and others also followed up. The corpse puppets here are obviously much stronger than before, not only can they control the air, but every move contains great power. Lie Teng controlled the scorpion and Ling Jian joined the battle. At this time, Lie Teng will not use his soul power, soul power is Lie Teng's greatest reliance, although at this time the disciples are getting along harmoniously, working together to deal with the corpse puppets, but if there really is a true treasure, it will inevitably lead to jealousy from other disciples, and then mutual slaughter will also occur.

  Lieteng controlled the Lingjian to attack the corpse, while Qinglin held the Lingjian close and attacked. At this time, the disciples' strength was undoubtedly displayed, and Qinglin almost every sword could knock down a corpse, while others needed to control the Lingjian for half a moment to knock it down. What made Lieteng slightly turn his head was Qingfeng, who was not inferior to Qinglin, two swords knocked down the corpse. However, in Lieteng's eyes, Qingfeng seemed a bit showy and couldn't compare with Qinglin's calmness. Qingfeng was showing off his strength. As they slowly entered deeper, these corpses were several times stronger than those outside, but under Qinglin's lead, there wasn't much danger.

  "Just as everyone was attacking the corpse, a sudden howl like a wolf's cry came from the depths of the secret realm. As soon as the sound rang out, a cold wind suddenly swept through the space, and many corpses in front of them actually fell to the ground, trembling and crawling, which made Lie Teng and others extremely frightened."

  "Go, ahead." Qing Wei and the others were frightened by this loud shout, while Qing Lin surprisingly showed a look of surprise, and Qing Xue's pretty face also had a similar expression.

  "Brother Qinglin, Sister Qingshuang, the person in the depths of this secret realm is probably not someone we can withstand." Qingqing said hastily as she watched Qinglin and Qingshuang fly forward. Meanwhile, Qingfeng, Qingkui, Qingwei and others hesitated and stood still on the spot, not following after them.

  "The one who let out that scream is only a second-level five-layer corpse puppet, but he must have... had a true artifact treasure." Qing Lin glanced at the hesitant expressions on everyone's faces, her brow furrowed in concern. After speaking, she looked at Qing Xue, her eyelids slightly drooping, and Qing Xue seemed to sense Qing Lin's gaze, turning back to look at her as well. Lie Teng, who had been intentionally or unintentionally paying attention to Qing Lin, couldn't help but speculate inwardly - could it be... that the depths of this secret realm weren't as simple as they thought? With Qing Lin's status, obtaining a true artifact shouldn't be difficult, so why was she so determined to enter?

  "Wealth and honor are found in danger. Since you've come this far, those who want to venture further stay behind, and those who want to leave can go back first." Qing Lin looked at his still hesitant disciples, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face.

  Qing Qi and the others exchanged a glance, but no one spoke up. Qing Xue calmly said, "If you're willing to go, then follow me." After finishing speaking, she led the way, flying off on her sword by herself. Qing Lin coldly snorted and followed after her, Qing Die hesitated for a moment before biting her lip and following as well. Qing Feng furrowed his brow, still weighing his options in his heart, but when he saw Lie Teng pulling Qing Yi to follow behind Qing Die, he didn't say another word and followed after them. The rest of the people, including Qing Qing, also stopped hesitating and followed after them.

  Under the lead of Qing Xue and Qing Lin, the puppets ahead didn't even require Lie Teng and the others to lift a hand, advancing all the way. Every single disciple's face was filled with solemnity, including Qing Lin's, only Qing Xue's pretty face showed no expression at all.
