Capítulo 1481: Chapter 1470: Underground Treasure Pagoda
Upon hearing these words, Lin i’s expression changed, and she hurriedly said, “But if Lin Batian recovers from his injuries…”
She was fully aware of the Corpse Herding Sect’s thods for dealing with traitors.
Especially for soone like her, who had sold out the entire Corpse Herding Sect, the outco would undoubtedly be utterly miserable.
At this mont, instead of taking advantage of Lin Batian’s serious injuries to kill him, they were waiting here, sothing Lin i found incomprehensible.
“Young Master Ning, you wouldn’t be concerned about Jianghu’s codes of conduct, would you?”
Lin i’s face was extrely unpleasant as she quickly added, “Young Master Ning, there’s no need for Jianghu’s codes of conduct with soone like Lin Batian. You’re doing a public service by ridding the world of evil.”
Ning Fan was taken aback and laughed, surprised that Lin i could say such disgusting things just to survive.
“Even if Lin Batian recovers from his injuries, so what,” Ning Fan said proudly, “Unless Lin Batian becos a true Heavenly Gang Realm, he is nothing to be feared.”
The grand battle that night had given Ning Fan great confidence.
Even if the two of them fought to a draw, neither able to overco the other, let’s not forget, Ma Fei’er was still here, and she would be the straw that breaks the cal’s back.
Lin Batian, heavily injured, was even forced to fake his death to escape. Ning Fan could not believe, not for a mont, that Lin Batian could condense a Martial Soul in a short ti.
“Fei’er, what do you think of this idea?”
“I think it’s good.”
Ma Fei’er nodded, mainly because she didn’t want Ning Fan to be in danger.
What Ma Fei’er knew about the Corpse Herding Sect were just rough details about people and cultivation levels.
As for the Corpse Raising Ground, she only knew of its existence and was completely ignorant of the true situation inside.
Because the Council of Elders was unwilling to take action, Ma Fei’er’s mood was already poor.
Upon entering the Secret Realm, she found herself utterly unable to help, not even as useful as Lin i, making her mood even lower.
Ning Fan did not notice Ma Fei’er’s abnormality. Seeing her agree, he said, “Then that’s decided.”
Standing aside, Lin i, after a few monts of hesitation, suddenly said, “Young Master Ning, there’s sothing I don’t know if I should say?”
“Speak!”
“Actually, I’m… I’m not even sure if there’s another exit in the Corpse Raising Ground.”
Lin i’s voice grew fainter, her words increasingly uncertain, especially when she t the cold gleam in Ning Fan’s eyes, leaving her trembling in fear.
Ning Fan suppressed the anger in his heart and gently asked, “Why do you say that?”
Lin i’s fear was genuine; she wasn’t being deceitful about this matter.
“Because I’ve only ever entered the third underground level of the Corpse Raising Ground. I know nothing about the levels below.”
Lin i added, “With Lin Batian’s cultivation level, delving into the fourth level should be no problem. I can’t guarantee there isn’t another passage on the fourth level.”
Having said that, Lin i recounted her experience.
“Actually, the Corpse Raising Ground is just a na; below it is a vast underground space. From my observations, the underground space seems like a Treasure Pagoda.”
Ning Fan asked in confusion, “A Treasure Pagoda?”
“Yes! From the entrance, each lower level becos larger.
Moreover, the internal structure is identical to a pagoda-style building.
Although it’s already dilapidated inside, traces of the architecture can still be seen.
Even the passages between each level are all stone staircases.”
At this, Lin i couldn’t help but exclaim, “Sotis I even suspect the Corpse Raising Ground is entirely man-made. It’s not like Lin Batian claims—a grave pit.”
Ning Fan waved his hand, “No need to say more about that.”
Misty Ghost Forest, Secret Realms, Bagua Diagrams…
Since entering the Corpse Herding Sect’s domain, everything he’d experienced was shrouded in dense layers of mystery.
The Corpse Herding Sect was just a later occupant, taking over territory abandoned by their predecessors.
What truly transpired in this Secret Realm is unknown due to the vast gulf of ti, making the truth of the matter unfathomable.
Rather than waste energy on such intangible issues, Ning Fan decided to focus on the present instead.
“How many layers does the Corpse Raising Ground have?”
“I don’t know,” Lin i shook her head. “We’ve only delved into the third level. Below that, the corpse qi is unbearable.”
Lin i quickly added, “With Lin Batian’s cultivation, the fourth level poses no problem for him. That’s why I can’t guarantee things unseen.”
“I understand now.”
No matter what, Ning Fan couldn’t avoid visiting the Corpse Raising Ground.
“If by chance the fourth floor has another passage, we would be foolishly waiting here for nothing.”
Ning Fan shook his head—such a mistake could not be allowed to happen.
If they didn’t seize the opportunity to kill Lin Batian while he was heavily injured this ti, it would not be as easy next ti.
If Lin Batian was determined to flee, Ning Fan might not be able to catch him.
A half-step Heavenly Gang lurking in the shadows, thinking about it felt daunting.
Ning Fan said in a deep voice, “Fei’er, I’ll go down for a bit; you stay outside.”
“No way! I want to go with you.”
Although Ning Fan had ntally prepared himself,
Ma Fei’er’s brisk and decisive response delighted Ning Fan, at least proving she cared about him.
But despite such joy, there was a slight headache.
“Fei’er, don’t you believe in my abilities?” Ning Fan boasted, “If Lin Xiao hadn’t interfered last ti, Lin Batian would have been dead by my hands.”
The corpse qi of the Corpse Raising Ground grows stiffer with each layer, and even the four great elders of the Corpse Herding Sect dare not remain long on the fourth level.
Even though Ma Fei’er had the blessing of the Secret Spell, her cultivation level was too low to linger for long.
“That’s true, but…”
Ma Fei’er hesitated, unable to think of anything to say to deter him.
“Rest assured; nothing will happen to . If worse cos to worst, I can flee.”
Ning Fan smiled faintly, and though his words were humble, the confidence emanated from him like radiant light,
“Alright!”
Ma Fei’er did not persist; she knew that even if she followed him inside, she’d be no more than a liability.
Once again, Ma Fei’er felt useless. If not for eting Ning Fan, this exorcism trip to Zhonghai would have been a complete mockery.
Noticing Ma Fei’er’s forlorn expression, Ning Fan had an idea and opened his arms, pulling Ma Fei’er into his embrace.
The mont she was held, Ma Fei’er’s body went rigid, then seed to soften like lting ice.
She voluntarily rested her head on Ning Fan’s shoulder and gently said, “You must co back safely. I’ll be waiting for you!”
Ning Fan solemnly promised, “For your words, even if I have to cross blades and rivers of fire, I’ll return.”
Witnessing this scene, a hint of envy flickered in Lin i’s eyes before her gaze turned vacant.
As Lin i reminisced, Ning Fan suddenly said, “Lin i, there are so things I need not elaborate on, right?”
Ning Fan had no intention of bringing Lin i into the Corpse Raising Ground this ti; there truly was no need.
Lin i’s body slightly trembled, then calmly said, “Young Master Ning, rest assured. At this point, why would I ruin my path of survival?”
“As long as you understand. Once this matter is settled, you’re free to leave.”
