Not long after, the three of them arrived at a gloomy underground palace. Corpses were displayed everywhere in this underground palace. It seemed that these corpses were used to set up a large array to cultivate some kind of evil technique.
Zhou Tianji’s expression did not change when he saw this eerie and terrifying scene.
You Ming heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. A moment later, the elder of the Evil Fiend Hall brought the two of them to the dozen or so corpses that were standing.
After more than a year, not only did these corpses not rot, but under the influence of the secret arts of the Evil Fiend Hall, they became more lifelike.
“These are the cultivators that were killed by that person that day,” the elder of the Evil Fiend Hall introduced.
Zhou Tianji nodded and then carefully examined one of the corpses. After examining it for a full fifteen minutes, he suddenly closed his eyes and began to chant some kind of incantation.
The incantation turned into light patterns and flew out of his mouth, landing on the corpse. Soon, the corpse was covered in inscriptions.
“Wake up.”
After the incantation was finished, Zhou Tianji opened his eyes and said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes. However, what has revealed under its eyelids were not its eyes, but two white lights. It looked as strange as it could be, it gave the two Evil Fiend Hall’s people, You Ming and the elder of the Evil Fiend Hall, a fright.
“This… This is alive?” You Ming said in shock.
This person had already been dead for more than a year, yet he was still able to make him open his eyes. In his eyes, it was simply amazing.
The fact that the archaic mysteries sect had been able to stand tall in this world for so many years was indeed worthy of its reputation.
“It’s not alive. It’s only allowing a portion of his remaining spiritual sense to return to his body. It Won’t be long before it dissipates.”
Zhou Tianji said with a smile. Then, he looked at the corpse with an extremely serious expression.
“What’s his name?”
“Wang Qian.”
“What’s his cultivation level?”
“Void Refinement realm advanced stage.”
..
Looking at the two of them answering each other’s questions, You Ming and the elder of the Evil Fiend Hall looked at each other in dismay. They could see the astonishment in each other’s eyes.
“Do you know the person who killed you?”
“No, we only know that he is a native of the lower realm. After he defeated us, he didn’t kill us. Instead, he forced us to hand over our natal essence soul and made us listen to his orders.”
Hearing this, You Ming gritted his teeth and said, “It’s really him! I knew it!”
Zhou Tianji waved his hand, indicating for him to calm down. Then, he asked again, “Do you know what he looks like?”
“That person has a mask that can change his face at any time. I’m not sure what he looks like.”
Zhou Tianji sighed and said softly, “He really is a cautious person.”
After saying that, he waved his hand, and that person’s body was completely turned into ashes.
“That’s it?”The elder of the Evil Fiend Hall said helplessly.
“That person is very careful. There’s no need to continue asking. Actually, it’s enough to know that he’s a native of that world. Now, we just need to send people to that small world to ask around and we’ll be able to find out about that person’s situation. With that person’s ability, he must be extremely famous in that world.
“However, you must remember one thing. Do not make a big fuss, or else we might alert the enemy.”
Zhou Tianji said with a smile, his eyes full of confidence.
You Ming nodded slightly, and then walked out without saying a word. After about fifteen minutes, he walked in with two disciples at the peak of the refined void tier.
“These two junior brothers usually handle matters the most reliably. I will send them to that world this time. Brother Zhou, do you have any other instructions?”
Zhou Tianji looked at the two people and said, “The two of you must remember to keep a low profile. Do not use any forceful means unless it is absolutely necessary. If possible, it would be best if you could find some of that person’s hair, clothes that he or she has worn, magical treasures that he or she has used, and bring them back.”
“Understood!”
The two disciples responded. Seeing that there were no other instructions, they turned around and left.
..
After a month had passed, the two void training disciples had successfully returned from the lower realm and reappeared in the evil god Hall.
After seeing the two of them, You Ming excitedly brought the two of them to Zhou Tianji.
“Brother Zhou, they are back.”
Zhou Tianji was currently playing a special chess set. When he heard this, he raised his head and smiled, “It seems like everything is going smoothly.”
“Fortunately, we did not fail!”The two void training disciples said loudly.
To be able to become a disciple of the evil god Hall, he was definitely not a good-for-nothing. If they could not even complete such a simple task, then they might as well find a rope and hang themselves.
“That person’s name is Chen Chen. He is a legendary figure in that world. In fact, he had already ascended to our world a few years ago.”
“That’s right. The reason why he was able to return to that world was most likely because he was mixed in with the last expedition army.”
Hearing the words of these two people, You Ming suddenly understood.
No wonder such a talented person could appear in that world. It turned out that he was a cultivator who had ascended to the upper realm long ago. After understanding this point, he felt much better in his heart.
“Daring and meticulous. It’s truly rare. Did you bring back anything that he used?”
Zhou Tianji asked, a trace of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
As he got to know Chen Chen better, he became more and more curious about this person.
“Yes. Look, this is a magic treasure that he used. I bought it from a cultivator from that world. Since it was used by him, its price is several times more valuable than a magic treasure of the same level.”
A void training cultivator took out a sword and said.
Zhou Tianji glanced at it and couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s fake. This sword has only been refined for less than a year.”
“AH? Then take a look at this.”
The two Void Refinement realm cultivators were shocked and took out more than ten items in a row. Half of them were fake, which made the two furious.
However, half of them were real, which was enough for Zhou Tianji to use.
Looking at some low-level items in front of him, Zhou Tianji reached out his hand and gently touched them. Then, he took out a chessboard magic treasure and lightly tapped it twice.
With his tap, the chessboard immediately lit up. Countless chess pieces crisscrossed, connecting into an extremely complicated line.
Zhou Tianji quietly moved those chess pieces, and from time to time, runes would burst out from his fingertips.
Just like that, it lasted for half a day before he finally placed the last chess piece. The entire chessboard had changed greatly, and a special red chess piece was surrounded in the center, unable to move.
Zhou Tianji took down the red piece and began to calculate silently. After another hour, he finally put away the magic treasure.
“How is it? Have you found Chen Chen?”After waiting for a long time, You Ming saw that it was finally over, so he quickly asked.
“I have some clues. That person is now very far away from here.”
After saying that, he pointed to the north, his face full of confidence.
“To the north of us? How far is it? Brother Zhou, can you feel it?”You Ming asked.
Zhou Tianji said, “I can’t say how far it is. However, he is surrounded by sand and the surrounding environment is extremely harsh. If I’m not wrong, he should be in the vast desert of the boundless sea.”
Seeing that Zhou Tianji directly said the name of the place, You Ming was overjoyed and said, “Brother Zhou, you are truly a world-shocking talent. If you need anything in the future, I will not decline… vast desert of the boundless sea? Very good, I will bring people over now!”
Not long after, the three of them arrived at a gloomy underground palace. Corpses were displayed everywhere in this underground palace. It seemed that these corpses were used to set up a large array to cultivate some kind of evil technique.
