The Lizardfolk King struggled incessantly, causing the chains to rattle loudly.

The figure had a smile on its face.

The bigger the commotion the Lizardfolk King makes, the more attention it attracts from the Nether Fox.

The figure was like a cunning hunter, waiting for its prey to take the bait.

After lingering in the square for a moment, the figure walked towards the main hall.

His footsteps were as light as a cat's, without making a sound, clearly not wanting to be discovered by the Nether Fox, as he entered the main hall.

Hiding behind a stone pillar at the edge of the square, Song Wen felt that the figure was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

But the distance was too far, and it was pitch black all around, so he couldn't make out the faces of the people clearly.

Two Sacred Beetle Gu fluttered their wings and quietly arrived outside the stone gate of the main hall, monitoring the movements inside.

Song Wen walked out from behind the stone pillar and came to the center of the square.

The Lizardfolk King, who was struggling incessantly, saw Song Wen appear and his eyes flashed with hatred.

Hate the house because of its owner!

It hated the person who had entered the main hall earlier, and it also began to hate Human Race.

Just as it was about to open its mouth to curse, Song Wen made a shushing gesture before it could.

"I'm here to save you, don't alert the people inside the hall," Song Wen said softly.

Upon hearing this, the Lizardfolk King immediately understood.

The person before me is not with the same group as the villain from before.

It nodded slightly.

Upon seeing this, Song Wen took out the diagram of the Hidden Soul Stone and handed it to the Lizardfolk King.

"I'll unlock your chains, then tell me, where can I find this kind of stone?"

The Lizardfolk King stared at the picture for a while, then his eyes darted around before he nodded.

Song Wen raised his hand and waved it, and the Ghost King suddenly appeared.

The Ghost King stepped forward, grabbed the chains, and pulled them off the Lizardfolk King.

Heavy chains pierced through the Lizardfolk King's body, tearing off large chunks of flesh and blood.

The Lizardfolk King grimaced in pain, but the creature remained silent.

Freed from the chains, the Lizardfolk King immediately fell off the stone pillar.

The Ghost King swung his greatsword, pressing it against the Lizardfolk King's chest.

"I have kept my promise. Now it is your turn to tell me the whereabouts of the Hidden Soul Jade," Song Wen said softly.

The Lizardfolk King sat on the ground, breathing heavily.

It was badly injured and needed a moment to catch its breath.

It was precisely because it was so badly injured that Song Wen unlocked the chains first, without fearing that the Lizardfolk King would break his promise.

The Lizardfolk King looked at the giant sword on his chest, then looked up at Song Wen, a cunning glint in his eyes.

"Hidden Soul Jade, Nether Fox, Bone Between the Eyebrows"

Song Wen's face stiffened.

You're kidding me!

The Lizardfolk King revealed a sinister smile.

"Absolutely true. The Nether Fox is in the main hall. Kill it, and you will obtain the Hidden Soul Jade."

Song Wen couldn't immediately determine whether what he said was true or false, but he didn't dwell on it. He activated his escape light and sped towards the edge of the square.

The Ghost King sheathed his giant sword and followed behind Song Wen.

As for the Lizardfolk King, Song Wen did not kill him.

Although the Lizardfolk King was severely injured, it was not without the power to resist. If it were truly killed, it would surely provoke a desperate counterattack.

Regardless of the outcome of the battle, it will alert the person inside the main hall.

The person who was able to capture the third-tier Lizardfolk King and several second-tier Lizardfolk must be stronger than the Lizardfolk King.

Song Wen knew he was no match for him, so he decided it was best to avoid him.

Song Wen had fled two miles away, but had not yet reached the edge of the square.

Suddenly, a shrill and unpleasant sound rang out.

"Young master, now that you're here, why the rush to leave?"

Song Wen's heart tightened.

It was the voice of the man who captured the Lizardfolk King.

But didn't he enter the main hall?

Why did they suddenly appear in the square?

When did he leave the main hall?

Why didn't the two Sacred Beetle Gu were monitoring him outside the main hall send him any messages?

With many doubts in his mind, Song Wen could no longer hide his figure. His body crackled with lightning, and his speed suddenly increased.

At this time.

A fleeting afterimage.

A figure appeared in front of Song Wen, blocking Song Wen path.

"Gah! I smelled the scent of a living person in the square earlier, but couldn't find where you were hiding, so I created a phantom image and entered the main hall to lure you out. But I didn't expect it to be you. After all these years, are you leaving without even saying goodbye?"

Song Wen stopped his escape, his expression grave.

The person blocking his way was none other than Corpse Puppet crafted from Wu Ren's body.

The Corpse Puppet was taken by Blood Brow and became a temporary dwelling place for Blood Brow's soul.

Unexpectedly, fifteen years later, she still occupies this corpse.

Blood Brow used some unknown method to recreate the corpse.

The Corpse Puppet has advanced to become a true Tier 3 Silver Corpse.

Song Wen's expression was solemn, and lightning surged around his body, ready to strike. He seemed prepared to fight Blood Brow to the death.

Perhaps sensing the resolute look on Song Wen's face, Blood Brow said.

"Young man, don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you. Speaking of which, you have done me a favor. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to break free from the Soul Shackle that had sealed me for tens of thousands of years."

"You've come here, most likely for that Nether Fox in the Nether God Temple, haven't you?"

"How about we join forces? You take the responsibility of luring out the Nether Fox, and I'll take the responsibility of capturing it."

Song Wen stared warily at Blood Brow and said.

"After capturing the Nether Fox, I want its brow bone."

Blood Brow smiled slightly; perhaps she had intended to display a charming smile.

But at this moment, she was attached to the Corpse Puppet was still made from Wu Ren's corpse.

Her smile looked unusually eerie.

It was hideous and grotesque, a truly horrific sight!

"It seems you've gotten yourself into big trouble, trying to use the Hidden Soul Jade to hide your soul power fluctuations."

Seeing through his secret with the Blood Brow, Song Wen was not surprised but rather pleased.

Blood Brow's words confirmed the truth of what the Lizardfolk King had said.

The Hidden Soul Jade is truly the brow bone of the Nether Fox.

"I can give you the brow bone, but the corpse of the Nether Fox must belong to me," Blood Brow said.

Song Wen nodded, "Sure! But I know very little about the Nether Fox and this Nether God Temple. Could you please enlighten me?"

Blood Brow said, "Tens of thousands of years ago, the Nether God Temple was a place that struck fear into the hearts of countless cultivators. You knew nothing about the Nether Fox and the Nether God Temple, yet you dared to step into Nether God Temple. I'm even more curious about the trouble you've gotten yourself into. I wonder if young sir could satisfy my curiosity?"

Song Wen said, "This is a personal secret of mine, and it is not convenient for outsiders to know."

Blood Brow said, "Since that's the case, I won't ask. I can tell you everything about the Nether God Temple. In exchange, I hope you can answer one question for me truthfully."

"Senior, what do you wish to know? If it is something I know, I will certainly tell you without reservation," Song Wen said.

"You have cultivated in the Cultivation World immortals for many years. Have you ever heard of the Profound Yin Physique?" Blood Brow asked.

"The Profound Yin Physique?"

Song Wen frowned, pondering to himself.

The outline of the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art> mentions that the Profound Yin Physique and the Extreme Yang True Body have a twice-good effect when practicing this Cultivation Method.

Blood Brow has been freed for over a decade, yet he has not been reborn through possession. Instead, he is inquiring about the Profound Yin Physique, clearly showing his obsession with the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art>.

"This might be the chance to get rid of Yan Yiwen completely," Song Wen thought to himself.

"Reporting to Senior, within the Nine Palaces Sect, a demonic force, there is a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Yan Yiwen who possesses the Profound Yin Physique," Song Wen said.

Blood Brow' face lit up with joy. "Is this really true?"

Song Wen said, "There is no exaggeration. Once you find this woman, you will know the answer."

His Blood Brow and deep gaze were fixed on Song Wen.

"You told me this so easily. If what you said is true, then this woman must have a grudge against you. Could it be that your escape into the Endless Desert is related to this woman?"

Song Wen looked at the Blood Brow but did not reply.

Blood Brow continued.

"The Profound Yin Physique is the best physique for a furnace vessel. This woman is only at the Foundation Establishment stage and is no match for you. The fact that you were forced to flee to the Endless Desert suggests that those who hunted you were mostly seeking to plunder her Yin Essence."

Song Wen was somewhat horrified; Blood Brow truly lived up to its reputation as an ancient monster that had existed for tens of thousands of years.

So intelligent he's almost demonic!

Song Wen changed the subject and said...

"Senior, I have truthfully told you about the Profound Yin Physique. Shouldn't you tell me about the Nether God Temple and the Nether Fox?"
