Chapter 417 - The Mystic Yin Body

Red Sleeve died thousands of years ago and became a Walking Corpse. Xiao Chen could not imagine why she still had complex feelings which could even affect the emotions of others.

Su Lianyue was wide awake now but felt at a loss. Just now, she didn’t know why she would feel so sad. And even, she… However, it was useless to think of it at this moment. She whispered, “What about now?”

Xiao Chen said nothing. He got up and walked to the entrance of the cave. Closing his eyes, he carefully searched the places nearby with his Divine Sense. Suddenly, a spiritual fluctuation came to him from the west. Instantly, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and said, “The west. It is in the west. Let’s go!”

Immediately, they covered their auras. Then to keep themselves from the influence of the chill, each of them started to run their mind cultivation methods silently. It was unusual that Red Sleeve suddenly came to this mystic domain. Therefore, they had to check it out.

At once, they raised their speed to the limit. Traveling in the darkness silently, they were already 50 kilometers away. Xiao Chen clearly felt the previous spiritual fluctuation. Beyond that, there was a thick stream of Death Qi and an extremely heavy Rancorous Qi!

In a flash, Su Lianyue grabbed and stopped him. Then Xiao Chen also saw the scene. Under the light of the stars and the moon, a simple and unsophisticated sarcophagus suspended one meter above the ground. It flew to the cave forward at an extremely fast speed. It was the place where the spiritual fluctuation came from.

They held their breath and lay prone on the back of a hillside. Hiding behind the grass and trees, they quietly gazed at the sarcophagus under the hillside. The Death Qi, the Rancorous Qi and the chill were all from the sarcophagus. And the person in it must be Red Sleeve!

They spotted that the sarcophagus stopped about hundreds of meters before the cave. Traces of extremely cold air gradually seeped out from the crack under the lid. Though standing hundreds of meters away from it, Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue clearly felt the coldness and could not help shivering.

“Alas…” Suddenly, there came an old man’s sigh from the cave. Both Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue were startled. It was the soul body in the cave!

“You’re here again…” the old voice said slowly. Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue exchanged a knowing look. Sure enough, this mystic domain was closely related to Red Sleeve. And the soul body in the cave also knew her.

Hanging in mid-air, the sarcophagus jarred a little, and an ice-cold voice of a woman came out from the inside. “They attacked again. If I lose this time, I will have to wait for another 300 years…” The voice sounded so cold. It seemed as if it were going to freeze everything within 50 kilometers around. The voice sounded so cold that it was impossible to hear whose voice it was.

Xiao Chen was shocked. From Red Sleeve’s words, he knew what she said was the Orthodox Path. At the moment, all the people from the Orthodox Path had joined their hands to fight against the Corpse Refinery Sect. Some days ago, he already felt the fluctuations of the Mystic Power coming from outside.

“Alas…” Another sigh from an old man came from the hole. Slowly, the voice continued to say, “Red Sleeve, so many years have passed, but why are you still so stubborn about that? Why cannot you just let that thing go in your mind? How much longer can that place keep you safe?”

Lightly, the sarcophagus trembled for a while, and a woman’s cold voice came out. “Let it go? Tell me how I can let it go! At that year, if you didn’t come out to stop, how could Qing Yuan and I…” Her voice seemed to be a little broken and sad on the last word.

“Alas…” The old man sighed softly. “How can you blame others for your miserable fate? After so many years, Qing Yuan had gone into the Samsara countless times. He must have forgotten you a long time ago…”

“No!” All of a sudden, the sarcophagus shook violently, and her shrilling voice came out. “Qing Yuan promised that he would be together with me forever! He will never forget me! He will never forget me! Don’t imagine you can stop me again! You cannot stop me again!”

“Alas…” The old man sighed repeatedly. “Red Sleeve. Ah, Red Sleeve. You have killed so many innocent people in the past three thousand years. In the Ice Prison, the skeletons had already piled up like mountains. Cannot all of this eliminate the hatred in your heart…”

“Hatred? Hahaha…” There came a burst of harsh laughter from the sarcophagus. On this cold night, it sounded very scary. In the distance, Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue trembled with a shudder of horror.

They listened to the woman in the sarcophagus. “Then what about me? You pitied them. Who is willing to show some sympathy to me? Qing Yuan and I were in deep love with each other. Why? It should have been the best day of my life, but why did I have to undergo the most painful torture in this world on that day? Why cannot I go into the Samsara forever? I refuse to take this fate! How can I die like this? How can I die in peace like this? Ah…”

Her voice became sadder and shriller, which could make people tremble with fear. In the distance, Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue were slightly shivering. Even if they had reached the Nirvana Realm, they could not stop the Rancorous Qi from affecting them. What heavy Rancorous Qi! It was the Malicious Grudge that Red Sleeve could not get over for three thousand years!

Xiao Chen held his breath. “What happened to the woman called Red Sleeve? Why did she have to look for a woman who was also born on July 7th for the past three thousand years? I’m afraid things were far more than that simple.”

“Ah…” The old man couldn’t help sighing again, and his voice was a little sad. “Red Sleeve, you should stop and let it go. It has been three thousand years. You could not find such a person in these three thousand years. How many more people are you going to hurt…”

Gradually, the sarcophagus stopped shaking, and suddenly a woman’s gloomy sneer came out. “I found one. I have found one. Just a few days ago, they sent such a woman to me. Hahahaha…”

“You, you found one!” The old man in the cave was shocked. The woman inside the sarcophagus said with a cold voice, “Yes, I found one. She was born on July 7th and had a Mystic Yin Body! A perfect! She is the person precisely prepared for me! After a few days, it will be July 7th. I will finally be successful. Hahaha…”

“Alas…” The old man heaved a long sigh. “Anyway, she sort of puts an end to your 3,000 years’ sin…”

In the distance, Xiao Chen’s brows knitted. Somehow, he got a bad feeling, a horrible feeling…

The sarcophagus vibrated again, and the woman’s voice came out. “I came here today to tell you this, and then I naturally will undo your seal. Well, I have to go back to prepare before they attack my Tianxiang Chamber…”

“Whoosh!” After she was done talking, the sarcophagus flew to the distance. After a long time, a long sigh came out of the cave. “Hey… She is gone. Two little friends, please show up.”

Xiao Chen was shocked with a chill. It turned out that the soul body in the cave had noticed them already at an earlier time. It made sense. Red Sleeve had no soul, so it was difficult for her to perceive their presence. But the soul body in the hole could easily feel their existence.

Su Lianyue frowned and looked at Xiao Chen, who then nodded. Even if the other party didn’t notice him, Xiao Chen thought it was necessary to ask. Just now, the bad feeling was too intense. Red Sleeve had been concentrating on looking for a woman who was born on July 7th. Why did she want to do that…

They moved a little, and they instantly arrived at the entrance of the cave. The opening of the cave let the moonlight in. Thus, it was not pitch-dark in the cave. About three meters in it was a light Barrier, and there was an old man in red-robe standing inside the Barrier. With a wrinkly face, he seemed to have experienced many vicissitudes of life.

The old man coughed twice and asked with a husky voice, “No one has been here for three thousand years. How did you get in?”

Xiao Chen bowed and said, “We are very sorry that we disturbed you. She and I inadvertently broke in this area. But may I ask where this place is?”

“Alas…” The old man sighed and shook his head. “I was bound to this place by Red Sleeve with her energy of hatred. I don’t know either where this place is…”

A flash of light flashed across Xiao Chen’s eyes, and slowly, he continued to ask, “Then may I ask who is Red Sleeve?”

The old man sighed. “Red Sleeve, she, she is actually a poor person.” Speaking of this, he looked up at Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue and sighed. “Everything will come to an end soon. You… Please let her go. Let her go at ease…”

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. In fact, he did not quite understand what the old man meant. But judging by the old man’s look, Xiao Chen knew that he was not willing to reveal anything more about Red Sleeve. It would be useless for him to ask again.

The old man again said, “Alas, leave this place. Otherwise, you can never go out seven days later…”

Xiao Chen wanted to ask something, but it seemed that the old man didn’t want to say anything. So he clasped his hands to salute. “Thank you for reminding. We will leave now.”

“Wait!” Su Lianyue suddenly stopped him and then looked at the old man in the cave. “Senior, can you tell me anything about the Mystic Yin Body?”

The old man sighed and replied slowly, “The Mystic Yin Body is a very rare constitution in the world. The pure yang body is its opposite. A person with Mystic Yin Body may often feel cold. However, this person can withstand any coldness in this world. Red Sleeve wanted to find such a person with Mystic Yin Body. That was why she would repeatedly catch people to try…”

When Su Lianyue heard this, her body began to tremble slightly and her face turned a little pale. Then, the old man continued, “This kind of person has a stream of Mystic Yin Qi in the body. That is why the person is afraid of cold. If the Mystic Yin Qi is brought under control, this person can get a far much higher achievement than the ordinary people. But if this person cannot control it, this person’s life will usually be as short as twenty years.”

Su Lianyue’s face turned paler and paler, and she couldn’t help shaking. On her side, Xiao Chen frowned. He looked at her and then cupped his hands to salute to the old man. “Thank you for telling me, senior.” After this, he held Su Lianyue’s hands and pulled her away. Then, with the already stupefied Su Lianyue, he left the cave.

They returned to the previous cave. It was midnight now. Sitting in the cave, Su Lianyue wrapped her arms around her knees and gazed at the bonfire in front, lost in thought.

Xiao Chen looked at her and said, “You don’t have to worry too much. Even if you have a Mystic Yin Body, you may be able to control your Mystic Yin Qi.”

Looking up, Su Lianyue smiled at him and said, “You may rest assured. I’m fine.” Xiao Chen also nodded and smiled. “That’s great. And don’t forget that you can leave here tomorrow.”

…

Early the next morning, the sun had just risen. In the valley, birds of every kind were singing. When they walked to the entrance of the valley, both of them even felt a little reluctant to say goodbye. They could still remember the first day that they came here. The scene seemed to be still visible before their eyes… After taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen finally said, “Let’s go.”

Eventually, they arrived at the Death Valley that they were before. This place was still lifeless. But it seemed that the Negative Qi was much heavier today. Once again, they came to the gap of the chaos. Compared to the scene three months ago, there seemed to be no change here, and the Death Qi still seeped in little by little.

Xiao Chen looked at Su Lianyue. “Be careful. This time, I think we can open it together.”

“Okay!” Su Lianyue nodded. Then they stopped talking and began to run their cultivation methods. After a while, they struck with their palms at the same time. Then, two streaks of Mystic Power hit the gap together.

“Boom!”

The entire stone forest suddenly shook. But this time, they didn’t bounce off. Instead, a powerful suction force drew them in. When the surroundings became bright and clear again, they were already at the Summit of Mystics of the Corpse Refinery Sect.

All around was deathly still and had an intangible air of depressing. Su Lianyue cried out in alarm. “Look, Master Xiao!”

Then, Xiao Chen saw countless dead bodies lying on the roads in the distance. Even the branches were hung with dead bodies. The shapes of most dead bodies looked extremely weird and horrifying. There were the dead bodies of the disciples of the Corpse Refinery Sect and the Orthodox Path.
