Buried Bones

"Buzzing"

The Bearing the Heavens behind Fang Zelin was buzzing incessantly.

When it was hanging on my back, it even looked a bit crooked, as if it might fall off at any moment.

Fang Zelin understood Bearing the Heavens's meaning, smiled, and reached out to grab him.

"Alright, alright, go back and cultivate. I'll give you all the Spiritual Qi; look how wronged you are."

Bearing the Heavens had just emptied himself out with a single sword strike.

They looked like two simpletons who didn't know how to restrain themselves, and as a result, they both got completely drained.

"By the way, you need to cultivate more. You were able to carry me into the air just now. Once you cultivate properly and improve, you'll be able to carry me too."

Fang Zelin suddenly thought of something and immediately whispered something to Bearing the Heavens.

Although it only flew a little bit into the air just now, that can still be considered flying.

Fang Zelin thought that if Bearing the Heavens were stronger, he could probably carry him.

In this way, it seems he won't need to bother learning any flying Law Technique anymore.

Upon hearing this, Bearing the Heavens immediately responded, saying something like he would work hard to cultivate.

After some time, Fang Zelin left Cloud-Linking Mountain.

There were many people outside the fog, all eager to go into the mountain to see what was going on.

However, it's estimated that the formation won't dissipate until the City God takes away all the wronged souls.

Upon returning to Yuanqing Prefecture, Fang Zelin immediately found an inn, booked a room, and checked in.

As soon as Fang Zelin began cultivating, Spiritual Qi immediately began to emanate from the surroundings.

Bearing the Heavens a single, Spiritual Qi energy.

In the past, Bearing the Heavens absorbed Spiritual Qi Spiritual Qi in a manner much like a refined young lady, taking her time and deliberate steps.

Today, however, it completely changed the norm and went straight to a massive swallowing.

Fang Zelin found it quite amusing. After giving most of his Spiritual Qi to the other party, he absorbed a little for his own recovery.

As Spiritual Power was absorbed, the light on Bearing the Heavens finally began to gradually recover.

The light on Bearing the Heavens Sword finally returned.

As if he had regained his senses, Bearing the Heavens was no longer swaying and staggering in the air like a drunkard.

It flew over to Fang Zelin and rubbed against Fang Zelin affectionately.

Fang Zelin opened his eyes upon seeing this. "Alright, once you've recovered, just stay to the side. I haven't recovered yet."

Upon Bearing the Heavens immediately stepped aside.

"Has the fog cleared up?"

At Cloud-Linking Mountain, the people watched the fog dissipate, and after a moment of stunned silence, they hurriedly ran forward.

They wanted to know what had happened up ahead.

Soon, a group of people arrived at the place that had been engulfed in flames, and when they saw what it was like, they were all stunned.

All that could be seen ahead was a charred mess, and beneath the charred mess, stark white bones had been brought to the surface.

This scene sent a chill down everyone's spine.

At first glance, all that could be seen in the scorched earth ahead were bones lying on it.

This is only what's above ground; who knows how many bones are hidden beneath the surface?

"What's with all these skeletons? So many dead people, all buried underground?"

"It must be the work of demons. No wonder the fire burned for so long and hadn't gone out yet. We were even thinking of putting out those fires."

A Great Han nearby watched the scene unfold, his face grim.

He remembered how, earlier, his people had tried to put out the fire.

The main concern is that if this fire spreads, it could become dangerous.

But the fire was strange; it wasn't so easy to extinguish.

"Look, isn't that Qian Youdian died before? We were wondering why he suddenly died and we couldn't find his body. It turned out he was dragged underground!"

"My friend was here too, and he was dragged underground just like me!"

"These guys, they must have died recently, their clothes are still pretty new."

Upon closer inspection, some people immediately spotted the bodies of many of their friends at the edge of the inferno.

Beneath these stark white bones, the bodies of many of their own friends were also buried.

No wonder I didn't even know how my friend died before; it's clearly the work of demons!

At this thought, everyone broke out in a cold sweat, their faces filled with shock.

Previously, they just felt that the fire was a bit strange, but no one thought much about it in detail.

"Be careful, everyone. Maybe this demon isn't still alive."

Seeing everyone looking around, someone immediately spoke up.

"Yes, yes, everyone keep an eye on the people around you. If anyone goes missing, shout out, 'Three-three-one team!'"

With someone directing them, the people who arrived immediately formed teams of three.

They will immediately sound an alarm if anyone disappears from their vicinity.

Under these circumstances, some people slowly made their way deeper into the charred remains.

However, before they could take more than a few steps, they were shocked to discover that on this scorched earth, there was a deep pit, tens of meters deep and about a hundred meters long, stretching straight ahead.

The sheer depth of the pit shocked everyone who witnessed it.

At this moment, they couldn't help but think of the illusory sword image they had seen earlier.

The man in official robes who arrived first swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask, "Could this be the mark left by that sword strike earlier?"

"I'll go down and take a look."

Upon hearing this, the people around him gritted their teeth and jumped down.

The person who jumped down cleared away some of the ashes, revealing the still slightly damp soil underneath.

"It's a newly formed pit. You can see the surface hasn't dried yet; the soil is very damp, and the surrounding marks are all new."

Determining whether a crater has just appeared is incredibly simple; you just need to pay attention to a few details.

At this moment, everyone else gathered around the long pit.

Looking ahead along this long pit.

Upon closer inspection, everyone immediately recognized the secret.

This straight, long pit directly divided this scorched earth in two!

"Could it be that some immortal really did slay a demon here before?"

Seeing this scene, someone recalled the sword shadow they had seen earlier that seemed to stretch across the sky and couldn't help but speak up.

Based on what they saw at that moment, the ground was filled with countless bones, and many of their own people were buried there.

This is clearly the work of demons.

Another issue is the strange fog that appeared earlier, trapping them inside and preventing them from getting any closer.

All these analyses suggest that it resembles the story of an immortal slaying a demon.
