Emperor of the North Chapter 52

Chapter 52 - Brothers Life and Death

"What is your ident.i.ty? How could a small inner disciple like you be allowed to inquire about the sect's secrets? Whatever Miss says, just do it!"

Although she was just a servant, she relied on Chu Yu's strength and did not put Li Feng in her eyes.

"You!"

Being looked down upon by a servant made Li Feng furious, but after looking at Chu Yu who had an unhappy expression, he did not dare flare up. He knew Chu Yu's ident.i.ty, he was the daughter of the Cloud Cracking Sect's Sect Leader, and he was an Innate, if not, an expert like Ma Zongyun would not be at his beck and call.

"You what, either obediently listen to my orders or scram! "Do you really think you're a big shot?"

Yun Er's sharp mouth was as vicious as ever, not leaving the slightest bit of face for Li Feng.

Li Feng was so angry that he clenched his teeth and shut his mouth.

"I know that you guys are feeling a bit unsatisfied, but I can promise you all that if you succeed in completing the mission, each of you will be rewarded with twenty crystal s after this matter!"

"As for Elder Ma, he won't go back on what my father promised you."

Chu Yu said as she looked at Ma Zongyun. Towards an existence whose cultivation was higher than hers, she was still rather polite.

Ma Zongyun's face showed a hint of happiness as he nodded his head. He did not know what promise Chu Yu's father, the Cloud Cracking Sect Sect Leader, had made for him, an Innate Ranker, to be willing to be driven.

Hearing that there were twenty crystal as rewards, everyone, including Li Feng, was overjoyed. The injustice in their hearts disappeared in an instant.

Twenty crystal, this was a considerable amount of wealth for an Innate Realm existence. In a place like Chu where cultivation resources were scarce, twenty crystal were not as simple as just two hundred thousand silver taels. Even five hundred thousand silver taels might not be enough to exchange for that many crystal.

"Since you don't have any objections, let's go. If I don't guess, we're not far from our target anymore."

After stabilizing his morale, Chu Yu smiled, then led the group towards a stone room's entrance.

After a few hours had pa.s.sed, Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes. The moment he did so, the crystal in his hands released a sound of shattering, and transformed into fine powder.

"Brother Li, how is your recovery going?"

Seeing Li Mu open his eyes, Young Master Yun, whose True Essence had recovered long ago, hurriedly asked.

"I have long since recovered my true essence. It's just that I was so immersed in the wondrous state of using crystal to cultivate, and only stopped after I had absorbed and refined the origin energy within the crystal."

Although it was not possible for him to recover so quickly, at least he had stabilized himself. He had long recovered all of his True Essence after absorbing half of the crystal, but he, who had never used a crystal to cultivate before, was able to refine the entire piece of crystal in one breath.

The benefit that it brought him was that the zhen yuan cultivation had increased by a sliver. Although it was still a long way from Innate, refining this half of the crystal saved him half a month of effort in his cultivation.

Only after Li Mu experienced this did he understand why so many cultivators viewed crystal as a treasure. This was a shortcut for cultivators to quickly raise their cultivation.

"How is it? After absorbing one third of it, I have already recovered the zhen yuan cultivation, so I am not willing to use the rest so easily. Brother Li, you are still the extravagant one, you know that crystal is something that even Innate Rankers might not be able to use in the cultivation world. "

Young Master Yun sighed with emotion.

"This is also the first time that a lady has gone on a bridal sedan. Isn't this the first time? If I had the ability, I would have long since cultivated myself to the Xiantian realm."

Li Mu replied with a smile. However, his desire for something like the crystal had increased to a very high level.

"What should we do next? We have no other choice but to continue forward. We haven't seen any demon corpses chasing us for so long, so I think they have given up chasing us."

Young Master Yun began to talk about important matters. He thought that the two of them would die for sure, but they never thought that they would lose their lives.

"Young Master, you've seen the dangerous situation here. I think you should find an exit first. Get out. You don't have a deep friends.h.i.+p with Brother Xiao Yao, so there's no need to risk your life here."

Li Mu advised with a serious face.

"Brother Li!" I, Di Yun, am not a person who is afraid of death.

Young Master Yun's expression changed as he spoke with some anger.

"Young Master, it's not like that, I was just speaking the truth, from the moment the two of us came in, you have also seen how terrifying the opponent's strength is, frankly speaking, I do not have any confidence in escaping alive, but you are different. Ren Xiaoyao is my brother, but he is not related to you at all, so you do not need to lose your life because of this!"

Li Mu advised sincerely.

"That's right, Ren Xiaoyao is your brother, not mine. But let me tell you, Li Mu treats you as his brother! "How could I let you run away by yourself in a place like this? I can't do that!"

Di Yun shouted at Li Mu, his voice filled with determination.

Li Mu went silent. Looking at the resolute Young Master Yun, he felt a little touched. After all, the two of them had only known each other for a few days, yet the other side was willing to accompany him in his trials and tribulations, even if they knew that the road ahead of them was filled with many deaths.

Li Mu rubbed the tears off his eyes and said sorrowfully: "What virtue or ability do I, Li Mu, have to make you treat me like this?"

"What virtue and what ability? Not only have you saved my life time and time again, you have also generously bestowed upon me the crystal the chance to recover our true essence. Even if you have such sincere brotherly feelings towards Ren Xiaoyao, I, Young Master Yun, will not refuse even if I were to risk my life! "

However, you did not run. Although you did not say anything, I, Young Master Yun, am not a fool. I can see that you were willing to risk your life just for me.

"As for Ren Xiaoyao, you are willing to sacrifice your life for him, and you only have this tiny bit of hope of finding the Herba Corydalis. For the sake of this, I want to be your brother even after risking my life!"

Young Master Yun said truthfully.

"Good!" Hahaha, I recognise you as my brother. Since that's the case, let's fight to the death, find the Herba Corydalis, and go back to save our other brother! "How about it?"

Li Mu patted Young Master Yun's shoulder, and said while smiling emotionally.

"I will risk my life to accompany you, your highness!"

Young Master Yun shrugged casually and they walked side by side towards the pa.s.sage.

This time, Li Mu and Luo Hua City Mistress had been walking for a long distance. Different from the previous time, when they had to walk a certain distance, they would come across a stone room and a fork in the road. This time, there was only a road ahead, and it was surprisingly straight.

"Young Master, why do I feel that something is wrong? Do you feel that the temperature is decreasing?"

Walking in the strange pa.s.sage, Li Mu asked softly.

"Indeed, I have the same feeling. We seem to be approaching an extremely cold place, could it be that we are nearing the Ancient Emperor's corpse already?" Young Master Yun asked doubtfully.

When Young Master Yun mentioned the Ancient Emperor's corpse, Li Mu couldn't help but think of what Huntian had said. According to what Huntian had said, high level demon corpses usually liked to stay in the Yin land, which was the main reason why Huntian had to pay attention to the Ancient Emperor's corpse. The extreme Yin and Cold Qi would greatly help Huntian recover.

The two of them continued to walk forward for another few kilometers until they finally saw a hole that emitted a ghostly green light at the end of the road. At the same time, a wave of frigid Yin energy a.s.saulted them, causing them to involuntarily s.h.i.+ver.

"If I'm not wrong, there must be an extremely cold place up ahead. The possibility of the Ancient Emperor's corpse staying here is extremely high!" Li Mu said solemnly.

"That's right, but the problem now is that if we are facing the Ancient Emperor's corpse's tomb, how do we escape? The pa.s.sage behind us is completely sealed off, and once we are blocked by the Ancient Emperor's corpse, regardless of whether we can obtain the Herba Corydalis or not, we will not be able to leave safely, not to mention going back to save Brother Ren."

"Boom!"

Just then, a loud explosion came out from the cave entrance not far away from Li Mu and Yue Shan, followed by the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, the entire ancient tomb seemed to be shaken up.

"What's going on? How could something like this happen? Could it be that something happened in the cave ahead?"

Li Mu had a face of doubt, he and Young Master Yun quietly snuck over, and very quickly arrived at the cave entrance. The two peeked inside and discovered that this was an extremely large underground cave, with a length and width of at least five hundred meters.

In the center of the cave, there was a large, blood-red altar that was about 20 to 30 meters wide. In the center of the altar, there was a pitch-black cave that was the size of a bowl.

The chilling cold seemed to have been restrained by the crimson altar. It condensed into a ball above it and all of it surged towards the sky. Above the altar floated a pure gold coffin.

The golden coffin continued to spin in midair, seemingly resonating with the blood-red altar on the ground. All of the condensed Yin energy was sucked into the golden coffin, leaving nothing behind.

On the other side of the cave, a fierce battle was being fought. It was divided into two groups: one was the demon corpse army, and the other was the six people from Cloud Cracking Sect.

The battle of demon corpses was extremely intense. Five silver-armored demon corpses, more than ten red-furred demon corpses, more than a hundred Soldier Monster Corpse s, and more than a hundred white-haired low level demon corpses.

Originally, it was impossible for the six Cloud Cracking Sect s to resist in this kind of situation. However, Li Mu was surprised to discover that the woman was holding a scarlet Glazed Fire Mirror in her hands. The reason it was called a fire mirror was because Li Mu realized that a strange scarlet flame was dancing on the surface of the mirror.

The hundreds of demon corpses seemed to be extremely afraid of the fire mirror in Chu Yu's hands. Although there were many people, they did not dare to charge forward, and by the side, Li Mu discovered over a dozen demon corpses, of which three were Light Silver Armored Demon Corpses and five were Red Haired Demon Corpses. Their death appearances were extremely strange, as if they were alive and still breathing hot.
