Duan Chenfeng still didn't understand what these three words meant. Why had he never heard of such a place before? Although he didn't understand what was strange about this island, just based on the name of the island, he felt that he had no hope of leaving alive, so he sighed and said,""Why did you bring me here?"
The man said," It's nothing. My master wants you to give him something. If you're willing to hand it over, I'll let you live. If you're unwilling, I'll let you keep this island. You have to think carefully, or even the gods can't save you."”
"What is it?" Duan Chenfeng felt that at least he still had a chance to live, so he asked.
"Purple Cloud Pendant." He said these three words indifferently.
When Duan Chenfeng heard these three words, he was first shocked, then he said solemnly,""I don't have what you want."
"Is that so? We received intelligence that the Purple Cloud Pendant is with you. Why do you say that it's gone now?”Then, he pointed at the stone tablet beside him and continued,"Do you see the stone tablet? No one who walks through here will survive. You have to think carefully.”
After Duan Chenfeng heard this, he didn't even think and said,""Alright, I'll give it to you." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and the Purple Cloud Pendant appeared in his palm. The dark purple luster shone under the sunlight, but it did not have any colorful light.
When that person saw the Purple Cloud Pendant, he smiled proudly.""That's right. You saw it yourself. With your ability, you can't use it normally. Hand it over to me now, and I'll take you away from here and send you back to where you came from safely.”
"Alright." "Will you really let me go after I give you the jade pendant?" Duan Chenfeng asked with a smile.”
"Of course!" the man said. In fact, he had long prepared to kill Duan Chenfeng. However, he had not obtained the Purple Cloud Pendant yet, so he could not do anything to prevent Duan Chenfeng from suspecting him.
Duan Chenfeng slowly walked towards him and extended his hand, seemingly wanting to hand the Purple Cloud Pendant to him. When Duan Chenfeng was halfway there, he suddenly turned around and leaped into the air, stepping over the ancient stone tablet and landing on the ground inside the stone tablet.
That person was frightened by Duan Chenfeng's unexpected action and cried out involuntarily,"What are you doing? Come back quickly."
" Go back and tell your master that I will not give him the Purple Cloud Pendant even if I die," Duan Chenfeng said with a smile.”After saying that, he turned his hand in the air and the Purple Cloud Pendant disappeared into the air. Then, he walked toward the center of the island without hesitation.
When the person saw Duan Chenfeng walk into Life Lock Island, his internal strength instantly filled his entire body and he chased after Duan Chenfeng. Just as he stepped over the stone tablet, a dense and sinister feeling pounced on him, scaring him so much that he took two steps back. What he had said to Duan Chenfeng was true. No one who had crossed this stone tablet had ever come out alive. Such a gloomy feeling could not be formed by the death of one or two people. It was formed by the accumulation of countless vengeful souls over the years. There was no telling how many ghosts and spirits there were.
At this moment, Duan Chenfeng had already walked into the depths of the forest. The man cursed at Duan Chenfeng's back angrily, then got on the boat and sailed away.
At this moment, Duan Chenfeng thought of Sherri. He thought of the girl who had been by his side all day. For a moment, he forgot what had happened around him. A sinister feeling filled the entire air. Not only did he shiver, but he also wondered if he was going to die just like that. Was there really no way to escape from this place? He didn't believe in fate. Just because others couldn't get out of here alive didn't mean he couldn't. He had to change history and change the world.
Duan Chenfeng raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was slowly darkening. He knew that it wouldn't be long before the sky was completely engulfed by darkness. What should he do now? Should he continue walking, or should he sit here for the night and think of a solution when the sun rose? After much consideration, Duan Chenfeng decided to sit here. He was not sure what it was like inside. If he died inside, he might not even know how he died.
It was night, and the sound of ghosts reverberated throughout the entire island. It was like the cry of a child, but also like the excitement before passion. Duan Chenfeng couldn't help but grab his clothes. He was obviously very afraid. In the past, he didn't believe that ghosts existed in the world, but now he believed it because a ghost appeared out of thin air one meter away from his eyes.
It was a transparent spirit body. It was wearing a long white robe that emitted a faint blue light. Its face was pale, and it was unknown whether it was a man or a woman. Long bangs spread out from its head, making it look a little ferocious. When it saw Duan Chenfeng, it was obviously very excited. Its long tongue licked its mouth in a vulgar manner. Then, it stretched out its hand, and its fingernails instantly grew out. When they were about an inch long, they stopped and stared at Duan Chenfeng in front of it. His fingernails emitted a metallic glow. Anyone could tell that the feeling of being hit by that thing would definitely not be pleasant. Duan Chenfeng was even more frightened when he saw it, and his legs trembled slightly.
"What are you doing?" Duan Chenfeng asked in fear as he watched it stand up.
It didn't say anything, but used its actions to prove what it wanted to do to Duan Chenfeng. It could be seen that it was also a polite person. When Duan Chenfeng asked, it gave Duan Chenfeng a complete answer. It seemed that it couldn't bear to let Duan Chenfeng have the taste of waiting.
It raised its right hand and placed it in front of its chest. With a flash, it arrived in front of Duan Chenfeng. It was so close that it could even feel Duan Chenfeng's breathing. Duan Chenfeng was frightened and staggered two steps back. He said with a trembling voice,"Don't come over, don't come over.”
The other party ignored Duan Chenfeng's words. Or rather, it seemed as if it couldn't hear Duan Chenfeng at all. It approached Duan Chenfeng step by step. It was getting closer, closer. Its hand flipped in the air and directly reached for Duan Chenfeng's throat. The latter closed his eyes helplessly, waiting for death to arrive.
He hadn't avenged his parents yet. Was he going to die just like that? However, the eerie feeling was getting stronger and stronger. An immense pressure came from all around him. Death was so close, and reality was so cruel. At this moment, he thought of something, and a tear quietly fell from the corner of his eye.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, as if it had been a century. Suddenly, a voice rang in Duan Chenfeng's ears and disappeared. He knew that he was not dead, so he slowly opened his eyes in nervousness and curiosity. He saw four similar spirit bodies appear in front of him. One of the spirit bodies reached out and grabbed the nail that was about to lock his life.
Duan Chenfeng was frightened by this sudden scene. From the looks of it, these four spirit bodies were not on the same path as the spirit body that wanted to kill him just now. Could it be that they wanted to save him or kill him after saving him? Just as he was thinking, the spirit body that wanted to kill him spoke. Its voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction."What do you four want to do?"
"Daoist Priest Qing Mu, don't tell me you won't even spare a child?”One of the spirit bodies stood out and said.
When Taoist Master Qing Mu heard this, he smiled and said," Let him go. If I let him go, will the heavens let me go?"”
After hearing Taoist Priest Qing Mu's words, the other party did not say anything, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, it was the spirit body who said,"Taoist priest, you saw it yourself. He doesn't have much cultivation, so how much spiritual power can he absorb?”
Taoist Master Qing Mu sighed and said,""I know that too, but there's nothing I can do. Are we just going to wait for death?”
" This…" The four spirit bodies were at a loss for words.
Taoist Master Qing Mu turned around and looked at Duan Chenfeng, then at the four spirit bodies before him. Finally, he said,""Forget it. Even if I absorb his true essence, I won't be able to obtain any spiritual power. Sooner or later, I'll die here.”With that, he left.
After Daoist Priest Qing Mu left, the four spirit bodies came to Duan Chenfeng's side. Duan Chenfeng took two steps back and said warily,""What do you want to do?" His voice trembled slightly, showing the fear in his heart.
The spirit body that had been talking said,"Hello, I'm called Spring Kill. The three beside me are my brothers, Summer Kill, Autumn Kill, and Winter Kill.”
"Spring Slaughter, Summer Slaughter, Autumn Slaughter, Winter Slaughter.”Duan Chenfeng silently recited the names of the four people. At this moment, he suddenly thought of one person and asked,"Do you know Windkill?"
"Wind Kill?" When the other party heard Duan Chenfeng's words, he was obviously stunned and said at the same time.
Spring Murderer lost control of his emotions as he grabbed Duan Chenfeng's shoulders and said loudly,""Tell me, how do you know Windkill? Is it the Cold Death Sect's Wind Kill?"
Duan Chenfeng was obviously frightened by the other party's emotions. He said nervously,"It's Feng Sha from the Cold Death Sect. I've only met him once.”Duan Chenfeng didn't say anything about protecting Xu Wentian. He wasn't familiar with the four people in front of him, so he couldn't say anything."Can you let go of me?"
"I'm sorry!" Spring Murderer also felt that he was being a little rude, he took his hand down and said sadly,""Windkill is my son."
"Ah!" Just as Duan Chenfeng was in shock, Spring Kill continued,""The four of us are from the Cold Death Sect's 'Season Kill Group'. During a mission, we followed our target here. We thought we could leave this place, but we didn't expect to fall into their trap.”As he said this, he sighed. The other three also sighed.
" Senior, then you guys…" Duan Chenfeng wanted to ask Spring Kill if he was a human or a ghost, but the words were stuck in his throat.
Spring Massacre already understood the meaning behind Duan Chenfeng's words. He smiled and said,""We are neither humans nor ghosts."
Hearing this, Duan Chenfeng's face was filled with doubt. He said without a name,"What's that?"
Spring Murderer was just about to speak when a gust of chilly wind blew. It was as if he suddenly saw countless ghosts coming from all directions. Duan Chenfeng also felt something and hurriedly asked,"What's wrong?" Just as he spoke, Spring Murderer hugged his body and said to his three brothers beside him,""Let's go back to the Cave of Departed Souls."
Duan Chenfeng felt like he was flying. The surrounding scenery was covered by the dark night. Unfortunately, his internal strength was limited and he could not have night vision. After a while, Spring Massacre stopped. This was a mountain, and there were countless caves on the mountain. The caves were emitting a faint green light. Just when everything was so unbelievable, Spring Massacre moved again. In the next moment, he had already arrived at one of the caves. Following that, Summer Massacre, Autumn Massacre, and Winter Massacre walked in.
When Spring Murderer put Duan Chenfeng down, his body clearly staggered. Autumn Murderer, who was beside him, reacted quickly and quickly caught him."Big Brother, are you alright?"
Spring Murderer shook his head and said," It's alright, Third Brother. It's just that I've used up too much spiritual power and am temporarily exhausted. I'll be fine after resting for a while."”Then, he looked at Duan Chenfeng and continued,""Alright, it's safe now. Sit down and rest for a while!”As he spoke, he pointed at a stone bench beside him.
After Duan Chenfeng sat down, he realized that the faint green light came from some strange stones in the cave, so he asked curiously,"Senior, what are these stones? Why is it emitting green light?"
After Duan Chenfeng sat down, Spring Massacre and the other two sat down as well. Spring Massacre said,""I don't know what kind of stone it is either. When we came here, it was already here. Everyone calls it the Serene Bright Stone. It's produced in a place called Serene Bright Mountain on the west side of the island. Because this kind of stone can emit green light at night, everyone gathers some and puts them in the cave for illumination.”
After Duan Chenfeng understood, he realized that there were really many strange things here. He had to figure it out first. Spring Massacre's appearance just now was obviously very nervous. What exactly happened? "Senior, what happened just now? Why did you bring me here?"”
Spring Massacre said," Just now, I felt that there were many spirit bodies like us approaching, but it was disadvantageous to you, so you came here. This place is called the Cave of the Dead Souls. It is the place where dead souls like us live. These caves are naturally formed, and they are all like this one, very deep. The rocks in the cave walls were very strange. They had a very good isolation effect. One hole was separated from the other, so one could not sense what the other was doing. Each hole was like an absolute space with strong defense.
The spirit bodies living in the Cave of the Departed Souls don't interact with each other, so you're more at ease here.”When he said this, he saw that Duan Chenfeng still had a puzzled look on his face. He continued,"The people here are all special spirit bodies that have already left the scope of cultivation. You also know that after a person dies, their soul will leave their body and go to the Underworld to reincarnate. It's the same for cultivators. Some are willing to reincarnate, some aren't. Those who aren't willing to reincarnate, and some cultivators who forcefully disintegrate their souls when the Heavenly Tribulation is about to arrive and they feel that they can't resist it. With the help of some magic tools with powerful spiritual energy and some places with abundant spiritual energy, he could cultivate to become a loose immortal.
Although Individual Immortals were called Immortals, they were not Immortals. They would stay in the human world forever and would experience a Heavenly Tribulation every thousand years. Each tribulation was stronger than the last one. In the end, their souls would scatter and turn into dust. Therefore, ordinary cultivators would not choose to cultivate Individual Immortals. This is because loose immortals have nothing but spiritual power that is second only to immortals, including their bodies.”At this point, he shook his head sadly, as if he was about to face that day.
When Duan Chenfeng heard this, he seemed to have understood something and said,""So you are Loose Immortals?"
"We're not Itinerant Immortals, but Spirit Immortals?" Spring Massacre shook his head.”
"Spirit Immortal?" " What's that?" Duan Chenfeng was confused." Why haven't I heard of it before?"”
