The Feng Zun Journey
Undead
The dry well was not very large, its diameter was only about ten feet.
Blood-red fog clumps shot out from their depths, contaminating the surrounding air into red.
Zhi Guan was standing and watching not far from there.
When he saw Feng Zun, he hurriedly warned him, “Master Feng, this dry well is very strange. That bloody mist is corrosive, so it is very unsafe to touch it.”
Feng Zun nodded, he took a step forward, and extended his hand.
A bloody mist churned and shot towards him, then gathered in his palm.
After examining him for a moment, Feng Zun said casually, "This is the qi of a very bad undead, and his appearance indicates that there is at least more than one undead, he said, that was comparable to a mortal realm cultivator had appeared deep in the depths of this well."
Zhi Guan and Chuyu looked at each other, both of them looking wary.
Dead Dead!
They are very scary creatures.
When a strong cultivator was killed, if their vindictive spirit remained within their body, and was powered by sufficient spiritual energy as food, there was a chance that they would evolve into a Living Corpse.
They are similar to ghosts, but they are born of corpses, not of souls.
“You two, keep an eye here. I'll go see it.” said Feng Zun.
These were the ruins of the Eternal Dragon Palace, but the depths of the ancient well were shrouded with a terrifying and bloody energy.
This undoubtedly implied that long ago, there were many cultivators who had once died in it!
As he spoke, Feng Zun had already arrived in front of the ancient well.
"Young Master, can you take me with you?" Chuyu felt curious, so he asked.
Feng Zun was stunned, "Are uncles not afraid of danger?"
Chuyu smiled brightly, "Young Master, with you by my side, then I will not be afraid even if the sky collapses."
When he said such confidence, how could Feng Zun refuse?
The two immediately went in and ventured into the well.
There was a staircase inside, and it was forged from a dense and heavy mysterious iron.
Furthermore, each rung was lined with runes and a formation made of talismans. However, the countless years of corrosion, had turned it into increasingly vague and obscure.
However, at a glance Feng Zun knew that this was an extremely powerful defensive formation!
"Why would the Eternal Dragon Palace place such a defensive formation in this place?" Feng Zun sensed that something was wrong here.
If there was any danger lurking in the depths of this drying well, it would make sense that they placed a formation to keep it sealed.
However, this particular formation was clearly meant to prevent intruders from entering!
"Be careful."
Feng Zun's eyebrows shot up.
The stairs seemed endless. The further they entered, the denser the terrifying corpse qi was.
Wosh~
Suddenly, an ominous sound of something mysterious rang out, it crossed the air and sounded far below the stairs.
Feng Zun stretched out his hand and took out a lotus-shaped bronze lantern, which had a snake-like axis. It was emitting a strange and unsettling blue-green light.
The Ghost Lantern of the Hall of Wisdom!
This was an extremely powerful spiritual artifact from the path of ghost cultivators, specifically designed to fight and suppress spirits or ghosts.
If used against other enemies, it still had a corrosive influence on their souls.
Feng Zun had obtained this artifact while on the Eternal Lotus Island, it was one of the spoils of war when he managed to kill one of the ancient demon factions, Mu Tingzhe of the Wisdom Hall faction.
Swoshis!
As the light of the Ghost Lantern began to scatter, the terrifying corpse qi waves emanating from the depths of the well immediately disappeared.
At the same time, miserable screams sounded.
Upon closer inspection, several hundred feet below, the light of the lantern swept over something, which immediately exploded into a terrifying greenish-blue flame, and gave rise to various screams.
"What's that?"
As they got closer, Chuyu was surprised to find a creature whose entire body was about to rot, its form was like a beast several tens of feet long.
His head had been shattered, and there was a lot of corrosion and damage all over his body, to the point that it was hard to tell what the beast was like.
“A Nirwana level demon beast cultivator. It was originally a normal demonic beast, but it had long since become an undead. Suitable to call it the undead of a demon animal.”
Feng Zun looked at him, then suddenly stretched out his hand and twisted the head of the beast.
“See the part between his eyes. Although it has been very rotting, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find it. It was a wound caused by a sword.” said Feng Zun. "In other words, this demon beast cultivator died under a beam of sword qi."
Chuyu flinched. “This is the Eternal Dragon Palace. Fifty thousand years ago, they were one of the three great phantom and demon beast factions of the world. Doesn't that imply that this undead was once one of their disciples?”
Feng Zun nodded. "Most likely it's true."
“Then there was an assassin who dared to barge into the Eternal Dragon Palace and commit murder? Isn't that too brazen?” exclaim Chuyu.
Feng Zun's expression was a bit strange. "Did uncle suspect that there was an enemy from outside who killed him inside?"
“Could it be, you mean not as I thought?” Chuyu sounded shocked.
“This dry well is positioned behind the Eternal Dragon Palace, and the entrance gate is covered with an extremely tight defensive formation. Back then, even Immortal God experts had to pay a very expensive price to enter this place, ” Feng Zun said.
“But if the assassin was an Immortal God, any sword qi attack from him would definitely obliterate this nirvana cultivator completely, even down to his soul. There was nothing left, not even his corpse, so he couldn't possibly be the undead he was now.”
Chuyu faintly began to understand, but she still found it hard to believe. "Young Master, you mean the killer is also an expert from the Eternal Dragon Palace?"
"That's just a possibility," Feng Zun said as he continued walking down.
Ghost Lanterns floated in front of them, scattering a misty light that neutralized the terrifying corpse qi along the way.
Several other undead appeared, and all of them attempted to attack Feng Zun and Chuyu.
However, the power of the Ghost Lantern suppressed all of them easily without exception.
