Chapter 2241: Corpse

The eerie presence permeates out from below the ancient building.

Observing and sensing closely.

You can discover very strong chilling presence among the grass and trees near under the ancient building, making one feel uncomfortable all over.

Originally.

Watching Lin Tian drag the injured Hong Shenhao away, Dong Quansheng had already secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Before his eyes was a young Golden Core Cultivator!

A group of them had not the slightest courage to resist!

Not killing them all was already a stroke of fortune!

But.

At this moment, Lin Tian suddenly stopped and snapped back to his senses, Dong Quansheng and his group found a chill instantly enveloping them!

Reneging?

The injured cultivators from Nine Immortals Mountain on the ground felt a chill in their hearts.

They had encountered such fickle, unreliable cultivators before!

Now that Lin Tian had turned back.

If he wanted to kill them all, death would be their only share!

“Senior…”

Dong Quansheng felt a chill inside as he spoke to Lin Tian in a trembling voice.

“Dong Quansheng! I only have one question!”

Lin Tian coldly stared at him and asked, “What is beneath this ancient building?”

Beneath the ancient building?

Most cultivators from Nine Immortals Mountain present exchanged glances.

Most of them were actually cultivators on the outskirts of the sect, not highly cultivated, very low in authority, hard to know many things.

However.

Seeing that Lin Tian wasn’t intending to turn back and slay them, they breathed a sigh of relief.

What perplexed them was, is there something underneath this ancient building!

Something that could warrant the attention and inquiry of a Golden Core Ancestor, surely not something simple!

And Dong Quansheng’s face had changed long ago!

He trembled, gnashing his teeth and hesitating for a while, finally helplessly sighed and said, “It’s a long story; I can take Senior down!”

“You’re quite wise!”

Lin Tian nodded approvingly, then tossed Hong Shenhao to the side, simultaneously injecting a sealing into his body.

“Don’t think about escaping! If you flee, before you reach Nine Immortals Mountain, I’ll have caught you back! If you don’t flee, and follow back, maybe there’ll be a chance still…”

Coldly warning Hong Shenhao behind him, Lin Tian walked towards Dong Quansheng.

“Obey and stay put!”

Dong Quansheng understood well, they would be dreaming to escape from a Golden Core Ancestor.

He gave orders for a while, got up, leading Lin Tian into the ancient building.

The ancient building had only three floors, the first floor was empty, only a staircase leading up.

However, Dong Quansheng did not lead Lin Tian upwards.

Instead, he went behind the staircase, opening a concealed trapdoor on the wooden floor.

The entrance was covered by wooden planks.

Grooves above it, the wood grain perfectly concealed the hidden latch.

Without divine sensing, it’s difficult for an average person to notice this obscure corner behind the staircase.

“Senior… down… down there, follow me down!”

Dong Quansheng looked uneasy, leading the way for Lin Tian upfront.

He had guessed, Lin Tian used his divine sense to probe what was below.

Beneath the ancient building.

Only the first level.

The space wasn’t big, about twenty to thirty square meters.

In the very center of this underground space stood a rough stone platform.

Upon it, lay a coffin, it was a crystal coffin!

Looked very precious!

Inside this crystal coffin lay a corpse dressed in Yin Yang clothes.

Specifically, it was a zombie!

A rigid corpse!

The skin on the face and hands was exceptionally well-preserved.

Although a little shriveled, it wasn’t rotten!

But those pair of eyes were pitch black, seeing nothing.

And at the corners of this zombie’s mouth were two extremely conspicuous tusks, quite startling!

The entire face appeared more hideous!

Reaching here.

Lin Tian could feel more clearly the Yin Yang essence from this zombie inside the crystal coffin!

One cold Yin and one Yang, carrying a vigorous combusting and Flame Power, very unusual!

Lin Tian withdrew his gaze, his eyes once more fell on Dong Quansheng.

The breath coming from this guy subtly revealed a trace of Yin Yang fusion fluctuation.

Extremely subtle, but Lin Tian’s precise observation could now detect it!

“What cultivation method have you practiced? Does Nine Immortals Mountain not restrict cultivating other methods?”

Lin Tian coldly questioned Dong Quansheng.

“Returning to Senior, it’s unrestricted!”

Dong Quansheng forced a bitter smile, respectfully replying to Lin Tian: “Recently, junior practiced a peculiar cultivation method—Ghost Finger Technique!”

Ghost Finger Technique?

Is it a Ghost Dao technique?

Lin Tian raised his brow, squinting as he pursued, “Then speak of your cultivation of this method and the situation with this zombie inside the crystal coffin!”

“Yes, Senior!”

Dong Quansheng took a deep breath, bitterly smiled: “This matter… actually, was somewhat unexpected!”

“Senior, do you know XY City?”

Upon hearing this.

Lin Tian shook his head, saying: “I am not very familiar with East Province!”

“XY City is a small city in the East Province, located in the northeast!”

Dong Quansheng honestly explained to Lin Tian, “A month ago, old man went to XY City searching for a relatively rare spiritual medicine! Unexpectedly, I encountered ghost cultivators! Ghost cultivators, extremely, extremely rare!”

“In all of East Province’s various cultivation domains, old man had not heard of any ghost cultivator powers! Generally, ghost cultivators are elusive, rarely seen!”

“But that time, just happened to meet them! For the spiritual medicine, also battled fiercely with them!”

“But the result was, not fighting, not knowing each other! They yielded the spiritual medicine to us, also invited us as guests to Yin Yang City!”

Ghost cultivators!

Then this inside the crystal coffin, most likely a ghost corpse!

Lin Tian showed surprise, secretly stunned.

The so-called ghost corpse, actually a tool refined by ghost cultivators!

Typically ghost corpses come from two channels—

One is ghost cultivators hunting other cultivators, refining them into ghost corpses!

Another is dead bodies absorbing immensely abundant Yin Qi potentially evolving into zombies!

The role of ghost corpses includes: first is refining them as ghost corpses buried to absorb Yin Qi, when enough Yin Qi is accumulated, they are used like spirit stones for cultivation; second, they are controlled, acting as puppets and magical treasures for combat!

The latter method shares ingenuity with the Corpse Soul at Corpse Soul Mountain!

However the ghost corpse before Lin Tian seemed different from what he had seen!

“Yin Yang City, what kind of city is it?”

Lin Tian looked at Dong Quansheng, saying: “This inside the crystal coffin, is a ghost corpse, right?”

“Returning to Senior! Indeed a ghost corpse, but those ghost cultivators call it a Yin Yang Corpse! Because their ghost cultivator cultivation method is quite eerie, able to fuse Yin Yang Qi for cultivation, yet differs from the legendary Yin Yang Dao!”

Dong Quansheng didn’t withhold anything, providing a very detailed explanation to Lin Tian: “And that Yin Yang City is not some visible city, but an Underground Ancient City! Specifically, it is the Underground Ghost City!”
