Looking at the dark, deep ravine before him, Mo Tang felt as if he had been transported to another world.
Back then, he was merely a lowly Dou Shi, almost driven to the brink of death by a fourth-tier Gale Eagle…
Now, as a Dou Zong, looking at this Wind Ghost Ravine, Mo Tang felt even more uneasy.
"What lies beneath this ravine?"
As a Dou Zun, Lei Zun was clearly more perceptive in this regard than Mo Tang; the ravine below gave him a faint sense of danger…
Speaking of this, Mo Tang recalled his experience searching for the Gale Eagle's corpse.
Even though he had only stayed for a very short time, he still felt a chill run down his spine, as if countless eyes were staring at him…
Hearing Mo Tang's words, Lei Zun frowned slightly, but he wasn't afraid.
After all, as a Dou Zun, even if there were dangers below, he was confident he could guarantee his and Mo Tang's safety.
However…
"Let's go check that cave you mentioned first and find my brother's remains,"
said Venerable Lei.
Mo Tang nodded and then led Venerable Lei into the mountain stream.
They found the cave, and everything was exactly as Mo Tang had left it; clearly, no one had been there since.
He led Venerable Lei to a small grave he had made himself on the rocks. Buried there were the remains of the Wind and Thunder Emperor.
Because the Emperor had only been a Dou Huang when he died, the bones had become extremely fragile after a hundred years of decay. When Venerable Lei dug the remains out, they even showed signs of breaking.
With a wave of his hand, a gentle breeze swept away the dust from the remains…
Thunder Venerable's hand trembled slightly as he ran it over the grayish-white bones…
"Indeed, this is my brother's remains…"
Mo Tang couldn't help but widen his eyes…
This… is too high-tech! Just by touching it, he can tell if it's his brother? A human gene analyzer?
Of course, this result was also the most favorable for Mo Tang, so he wouldn't be foolish enough to jump out and question anything.
With a wave of his hand, he put the remains into his storage ring, then turned his gaze to the outside of the cave, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This mountain stream is not simple. I'm going to go down and explore it. Are you going up or coming with me?"
Mo Tang quickly replied, "Naturally, I'll go with you, Master."
He had long wanted to go down and take a look, but his strength was limited back then, so he had the will but not the courage… Now that there was such a powerful expert scouting ahead for free, he was naturally more than happy to accept.
Without any hesitation, the two plunged directly into the depths of the ravine…
Upon reaching the bottom, Mo Tang keenly sensed a chilling aura washing over him, and his vision was utterly black, like the pure darkness before the creation of the world. Mo
Tang had experienced this feeling before, when he encountered Little Fairy Doctor deep within the Poison Soul Valley of the Chuyun Empire…
However, the deathly aura emanating from those ruins was nothing compared to what they were encountering now!
Even with Mo Tang's cultivation and physique, he felt the bone-chilling cold surrounding him…
It was as if not only his body but even his soul felt the cold, as if death were right beside him.
As he delved deeper, Mo Tang felt the icy chill gradually weaken, and it was as if he were now inside a cool, soft bubble…
A faint, delicate fragrance, like the cherry lips of a beautiful woman, gently brushed against his skin, bringing an ultimate sense of pleasure.
Just as Mo Tang was about to immerse himself in this sensation, he was suddenly startled, jolted awake from his hazy state, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat!
"Hmph! Playing tricks!"
Just then, a cold snort came from the Thunder Venerable beside him, followed by a white light that tore through the darkness and snaked out...
Sizzle!
As if tearing open the black curtain in front of him, the dazzling lightning annihilated all the demons and monsters, instantly clearing the sky!
Watching the white figure silently disappear into nothingness in the lightning, Mo Tang's heart skipped a beat...
"This is... a soul?"
The figure just now was clearly exactly the same as the soul of Mo Tianxing that had been taken away by the Soul Palace.
However, after he exclaimed, the Thunder Venerable coldly said, "This is not an ordinary soul, but a strange Yin spirit!"
"Yin spirit?" Mo Tang was somewhat surprised.
Isn't this word usually only found in the world of Xianxia? Just like those fierce ghosts and monsters, although it feels similar to the transformed magical beasts of this Dou Qi Continent, they are fundamentally different.
Lei Zun Zhe nodded, looking at the countless white dots of light that had appeared in the darkness, as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up by his lightning strike. Each dot represented the existence of a Yin spirit…
"These Yin spirits are formless and intangible; only destructive forces like fire and lightning can subdue them… If they come into contact with you, even a Dou Huang or Dou Zong powerhouse could be bewitched and eventually die from exhaustion of their soul power…"
Mo Tang grinned, looking at the densely packed dots of light surging towards him, and suddenly wondered if he had made a mistake by rushing in so rashly.
"Step aside, let me clear these things away first… I'm more interested in seeing what lies at the bottom of this ravine!"
Hearing Lei Zun Zhe's words, Mo Tang quickly took a few steps back.
Lei Zunzhe spread his large hands and stretched them forward... A
surge of white lightning immediately reappeared, and then, centered on his palms, a lightning net several tens of feet wide was formed, completely covering the entire deep ravine...
"Condense!"
With a roar, the lightning net instantly began to spread forward.
Wherever it passed, all the Yin spirits touched by the lightning instantly turned into nothingness and disappeared into the darkness.
Mo Tang, watching all this from behind, almost couldn't help but turn into a clapping seal...
Indeed, having a powerful figure by your side is great; you don't have to lift a finger when encountering danger, and they can naturally turn misfortune into good fortune!
After the countless Yin spirits transformed from the souls of countless people were wiped out by Lei Zunzhe, the two continued forward without hesitation...
After walking for about ten more minutes, they suddenly heard the sound of flowing water...
