The Dead Return to Life

Not far ahead of Song Wen, the cave exit was already in sight.

Song Wen turned around and glanced at the crowd following behind him.

The distance between him and these people was growing ever wider.

The sense of urgency in Song Wen's heart couldn't help but ease a little.

Just as he was preparing to speed into the exit and use the intricate passages to completely shake off the people behind him.

In the pitch-black passage, two figures could be vaguely seen moving about.

Then, two dark sword lights, like venomous snakes lurking in the darkness, suddenly shot out.

With its sharp and unparalleled edge, it cut through the darkness and went straight for Song Wen.

Song Wen's expression changed slightly, but he showed no sign of panic.

The two flying swords that launched the sneak attack weren't particularly powerful.

The two attackers' cultivation levels should be equal to Song Wen's, also at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

This immediately made Song Wen wonder about the identities of the two people.

Feng Qi's two subordinates, Leng Tianlu and the masked man.

There was already a grudge between Leng Tianlu and Song Wen, so it was only natural that he hated Song Wen.

However, the masked man's hatred for Song Wen was even greater than that for Leng Tianlu, which puzzled Song Wen.

With his mind racing, Song Wen's hands moved swiftly.

He first summoned the Turtle-Snake Shield, followed by the Turtle-Snake Shield Kui Water Shield, and then a Great Lu, which protected Song Wen's entire body.

Although the Profound Yellow Pagoda is excellent, it consumes too much spiritual energy, Song Wen does not want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

Song Wen did not simply remain on the defensive.

He raised his hand and conjured three ten-foot-long thunder spears.

The lightning spear hurtled towards the two people in the passage.

Two flying swords and three thunder spears clashed and slashed at Song Wen first.

The two flying swords struck the Turtle-Snake Shield first.

The Turtle-Snake Shield was no match and was easily knocked away.

Then came the Kui Water Shield, which was cleaved in two by flying swords and turned into a mass of Kui Yin Heavy Water.

Then, the two flying swords struck the bronze Great Lu.

The bronze Great Lu brightly with green light and emitted a deafening buzzing sound.

The two flying swords exhausted their power and returned empty-handed.

Song Wen, with the Great Lu on his head, rushed into the passage.

Previously, the three thunder spears that Song Wen had shot out had been blocked by Leng Tianlu and the masked man working together.

The two activated their flying swords again, slashing at Song Wen.

Previously, in order to catch Song Wen off guard, the two had not fully activated their flying swords.

With this strike, neither of them held back.

With full force, the flying sword emitted a brilliant Sword-Ray, like a shooting star streaking across the Ye Kong, heading straight for Song Wen.

However, Song Wen had no way to deal with the two flying swords that were unstoppable. He continued to charge towards the passage with the bronze Great Lu on his back, regardless of the consequences.

It was as if he deliberately crashed into a flying sword.

Just as the flying sword was about to land on the bronze Great Lu.

Leng Tianlu and the masked man suddenly looked terrified.

To their astonishment, they discovered that there were six Gu Worm within a ten-foot radius around them.

They charged at them, either from the ground, from above, or from behind.

These Gu Worm possessed an extremely strong aura, comparable to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator.

They didn't even discover when these Gu Worm appeared.

Song Wen's three thunder spears were merely a distraction to draw their attention.

The real killing move was the Gu Worm that followed the Thunder Spear.

He used the overwhelming power of the Thunder Spear to conceal the aura of the Gu Worm, preventing Leng Tianlu and the other from detecting Gu Worm presence.

The Gu Worm were too close and too fast.

In the rush, Leng Tianlu and the masked man could only manage to gather a spiritual energy shield to resist the Gu Worm.

The Sacred Beetle Gu suddenly grew larger, becoming the size of an egg.

Those two large, sharp, black jaws bit into the spiritual energy shield.

Like a high-frequency vibrating blade, it continuously cuts through the solid shield.

With each bite, the spiritual energy shield trembled slightly, as if groaning in pain.

The Sacred Beetle Gu bites incredibly fast, making hundreds of bites on the shield in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, cracks appeared in the spiritual energy shield, and it shattered abruptly.

As Leng Tianlu and the masked man stared in horror, three Sacred Beetle Gu each burrowed into their bodies.

Within moments, both of them were lifeless.

With the two dead, the flying sword aimed at Song Wen naturally lost its power and was easily picked up by Song Wen and stored in his storage ring.

Song Wen also entered the passageway.

A flick of the finger!

A wisp of spiritual energy shot out.

The iron mask on the masked man's face was knocked off by spiritual power.

When Song Wen saw the face behind the mask, a murderous intent suddenly rose in his heart.

The masked man was none other than 'Wang Ming,' who should have been Wang Ming.

Back then, Feng Xinghai personally sentenced Wang Ming to death in front of Song Wen, Fang Pengyi, and others.

More than three years have passed, and Wang Ming is not only alive, but he has reappeared alive in the secret realm.

He was also wearing an iron mask to conceal his face and breath.

It was obvious that Feng Xinghai had not executed Wang Ming, but had secretly spared Wang Ming life, making Wang Ming work for Feng Qi and help him explore the secret realm.

Feng Xinghai deceived everyone in the Beast Taming Sect.

Song Wen admitted that he couldn't do anything to Feng Xinghai, but since Feng Qi was in the secret realm, he could still get revenge.

He released a Sacred Beetle Gu, which lurked in a crevice in the cliff outside the entrance to the passage.

Song Wen used the 'Binding Soul Technique' to seal the souls of the two men within their respective corpses.

Then, he put the two corpses into his storage ring.

After doing all this, Song Wen released several more Thunder Method, using the majestic power of lightning to disperse the residual aura of the Sacred Beetle Gu in the passage.

Song Wen used the Thunder Escape Technique to escape into the depths of the passage.

Among the many intricate passages, he chose all those that sloped downwards, intending to use them to advance deeper into the earth.

The underground river where the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch grows is located deep underground.

Not long after Song Wen left, Lei Yuanhua also entered the passage. Without lingering, he disappeared into the passage as well.

Mu Yunxin and Xue Gu stopped not far from the entrance of the passage, suspended in mid-air.

Lei Yuanhua escaped into the maze-like passageway, making it impossible to catch him.

The two exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and flew back to the main hall on their swords.

Feng Qi, who was originally following behind the two, saw that they had turned around and were heading in his direction.

Feng Qi didn't want to clash with the two, so he quickly kept his distance.

Mu Yunxin and Xue Gu had no intention of getting entangled with Feng Qi, and flew straight to the main hall.

This made Feng Qi breathe a sigh of relief.

He flew along the import/export passage on his sword.

Just now, during the battle between Wang Ming and Leng Tianlu and Song Wen, he sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy from afar.

However, due to the great distance, he was unaware of the course and outcome of the battle.

After carefully examining the traces of the battle, Feng Qi determined that Wang Ming and Leng Tianlu were dead.
