Mysterious Plain Saint Monarch wore white, her skin fairer than snow, her beauty peerless.
Her expression remained calm. "But you can think it over. I'll be waiting for you at Qingyun Mountain."
With that, her figure gradually faded.
"Hey!" Lin Taichu shouted urgently, but she had already vanished into the air.
"That old woman... no, that woman definitely has other motives. I have to get to the bottom of this!"
Lin Taichu frowned.
Mysterious Plain Saint Monarch's origins were far too strange. She had tried to seize his Demon God Crystal Core without a word of explanation. It was utterly baffling!
"Whatever her goal is, I should hide for a while. Once my injuries have healed, I'll go find out what's going on." Lin Taichu mused.
With that in mind, he circulated his cultivation to drive the Cold Poison from his body and headed deeper into the cave.
Roar! A sudden roar rang out.
Several hideous Evil Wolves crawled out from the cave entrance and pounced at Lin Taichu.
With a thunderous boom, sparks burst forth. Blazing flames engulfed Lin Taichu and incinerated the Evil Wolves.
He hurried onward, quickly entering the depths of the cave.
Before him lay a vast, empty hall that was gloomy and terrifying. Several Night Pearls embedded in the ceiling illuminated the entire stone chamber, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
"Where is this?" Lin Taichu surveyed his surroundings in confusion. When he looked up, he discovered a corpse lying in the center of the hall.
The corpse resembled a snake. Its body was pitch-black, Bone Spikes protruded from its back, and its pointed head resembled a scorpion's tail. A vertical purple-gold pattern stood on its forehead. It was clearly a Demonic Snake!
"This is..." Lin Taichu was shaken.
"Hiss, hiss!" A chill spread from his spine
