The Soul Tomb's Enchanting Shadow

The Soul Tomb was deep and dark, shrouded in gray mist, with jagged rocks and scattered bones everywhere. Yet, within this Soul Tomb stood a beautiful figure. The gray mist dissipated naturally around her, leaving her untouched by any dust. Dressed in snow-white robes, she was a bright spot in this gray world.

She stood there in the dark Soul Tomb, waiting for Yi Yun to arrive, a faint smile on her face.

"Xin Tong..."

When Yi Yun saw Lin Xin Tong again, he was filled with many emotions. He had never expected that his reunion with Lin Xin Tong would take place in this Soul Tomb filled with yin energy.

Both of them possessed Sound Transmission Talisman, allowing them to accurately locate each other within this labyrinthine Soul Tomb.

After so much time, Lin Xin Tong's appearance remained unchanged, except that her aura had become more refined and reserved. Standing here, she resembled a delicate young lady from a noble family, and neither the dust nor the Sha Qi could affect her purity and delicacy.

Looking at Lin Xin Tong, Yi Yun sensed that her Lin Xin Tong had greatly improved. Her realm hadn't changed, but her understanding of the Heavenly Dao and her comprehension of the <Empress Heart Sutra> had reached an extraordinary level.

"Xin Tong, your mastery of the Empress Heart Sutra has advanced another step. Back in the God Descending Tower, I was already inferior to you in cultivating the Empress Heart Sutra, and now the gap has widened even further."

Lin Xin Tong smiled slightly and said, "The <Empress Heart Sutra> was originally written by Ancient Empress who was born with Innate Yin Meridian. I have the same physique as the empress, so I do have some advantages in cultivating it. As for you, Yi Yun, although you haven't improved much in terms of comprehension in the past six months, your strength has probably increased by more than a little bit."

During his time in the Martial Arts Alliance, Yi Yun subdued the Nine-Headed Serpent Beast Seal, survived the Heavenly Tribulation with the Nine-Headed Serpent, and his cultivation level rose to the Perfection of the Dao Seed Realm, resulting in a significant increase in his strength.

Yi Yun took Lin Xin Tong's hand and smiled, "I really don't know how much my strength has improved, but this trip to the Soul Tomb will soon provide an opportunity to verify it."

This time, the Blood Moon entered the Soul Tomb, led by Reincarnator. Among these Reincarnator were the Four Young Masters, who in their previous lives had stood at the pinnacle of the Tianyuan Realm once, or even several times.

From the Masked Man's memories, Yi Yun also learned what the four young masters' names were in their previous lives.

Yi Yun really wanted to fight these four people.

When Lin Xin Tong Yi Yun reunited, in the Soul Tomb, separated by nearly a thousand miles, was another woman who was extremely important in Yi Yun's life— Jiang Xiaorou.

Nearly a thousand miles is nothing on the ground, but in the Soul Tomb, due to the maze-like terrain and the presence of various yin and Sha Qi, perception is limited to a very small range. Therefore, a distance of several hundred miles is enough to isolate all information.

Led by Jiang Xiaorou, the Desolate Clan arrived at the Soul Tomb more than two days earlier than the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Although the most powerful Corpse King in the Soul Tomb had fallen into a deep sleep during this period, and the remaining minor Yin Souls and minor Corpse Fiend posed no threat to the Desolate Clan, the complex terrain and various naturally formed mazes and Illusion Formation within Soul Tomb made it extremely difficult for even the strongest members of the Desolate Clan to navigate it.

"Young Master, we've been traveling for two days now, and we should have reached the central area by now, but we haven't found the place where Yin Sha slumbers."

A red-haired youth bowed to Jiang Xiaorou and said...

This red-haired youth, named Chen Fei, was Jiang Xiaorou's captain of guards and was extremely loyal to Jiang Xiaorou.

Throughout the journey, Chen Fei was responsible for making markings to avoid repeating the same route.

They used the array plate to lock onto a direction, and in two days, they should have traveled over a thousand miles, enough to reach the central area of Soul Tomb. According to the information the Wild Clan had gathered from their past searches of the Soul Tomb, the central area of Soul Tomb was the sleeping place of the Yin Sha, but they saw nothing.

Jiang Xiaorou frowned slightly. She had long anticipated that Blood Moon would be well-prepared this time, and it would be a fierce battle, with the possibility of her even perishing here.

However, she did not expect that, so far, she had not even found the place where Yin Sha slumbered, let alone broken through the protective formation of the place and killed the dead servants guarding it.

"It seems like we're going down the same old path..." Jiang Xiaorou suddenly said.

Chen Fei paused for a moment, then shook his head, saying, "That's impossible... I've been marking the route the whole way, and we haven't retraced any of the marked paths. Besides, the compass has always been pointing in the same direction..."

The compass used by the Wild Clan is no ordinary item; it is a superior magical artifact capable of breaking through various mazes.

However... many times, even if a magical artifact or array plate is of the highest quality, it still depends on the person using it.

Although Chen Fei is quite strong, he would naturally be inferior to the Reincarnator of the Martial Arts Alliance.

"Give me the compass!" Jiang Xiaorou said without waiting for a reply, taking the compass directly from Chen Fei's hand.

The vital energy was poured into the compass, and the compass light flickered. The direction it pointed to was still the direction in which the "Heavenly Fox" army of the Wilderness Clan was advancing.

There seemed to be no problem, but at that moment, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Xiaorou's eyes. She lashed out with her right hand, and a sharp whistling sound rang out as a long black whip swept out.

"Smack!"

The air seemed to be torn apart by the whip, and a burst of blue flame erupted from the void where the whip struck!

Jiang Xiaorou's ten fingers moved nimbly; with a flick and a pull, the long whip that had extended like a serpent instantly retracted, and as it retracted, it wrapped around something.

That was a Formation Flag!

"This is..."

Chen Fei was startled, and the other "Heavenly Fox" members behind Jiang Xiaorou were also stunned.

As the Formation Flag was pulled out, the surrounding space rippled like water, and the layers of gray mist that had permeated the area disappeared, replaced by a wide underground valley.

In this valley, a huge skeleton lies horizontally, resembling a giant skeletal serpent, encircling all the young talents of their desolate tribe.

On the head of this giant skeletal serpent sat a woman with a voluptuous figure and a slender waist.

The woman's skin was as smooth as jade, and she wore only a short gauze dress that covered her chest, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white belly. Above her navel, a deep blue gemstone adorned her. Her face was covered by a purple veil, revealing only her eyes, which were like two autumn lakes, containing a myriad of charms.

Such a charming woman, sitting on the head of a giant white bone snake, exudes an eerie and bewitching aura.

"Clap clap clap!"

The woman suddenly clapped her hands, "Impressive! The new Desolate King of the Desolate Clan, I heard you've only cultivated for a mere ten years, yet you possess such keen intuition, managing to remove my Formation Flag. Truly a gifted individual, hehehehe!"

As she spoke, the woman suddenly burst into laughter, her body trembling with ecstasy, her breasts heaving and revealing a glimpse of spring.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Xiaorou's gaze turned cold as she looked at the Yao Rao woman.

"Hehe, I've been reincarnated many times, each time with a different name. These names have no meaning to me anymore. I only have one title that has never changed: people call me the Fairy Snake Ji!"

"Snake Ji... So you're the Snake Ji! You witch, what cunning you are! You've trapped us for two days with just one formation!"

Jiang Xiaorou gripped the Formation Flag that had been whipped back by the long whip, her face showing no joy at breaking the array. For the past two days, they had either been going around in circles or following the route planned by the Snake Ji.

Although she eventually saw through the formation, she was still fooled for so long.

This cast a shadow over Jiang Xiaorou's heart; the Reincarnator of the Blood Moon seemed to be much more powerful than they had originally anticipated.

"I'm a demoness? Tsk tsk tsk!" The Snake Ji shook her head. "I'm sorry, but in people's eyes, I'm a fairy, while you are the real demoness, hehehehe!"
