Chapter 725 - 724: Venerable Yin Mountain Appears!

Swoosh!

Suddenly, the originally calm Death Valley trembled sharply, swiftly swept by a gust of yin wind. In the fiercely flowing gale, Yin Evil Qi continually gathered together.

In the shocked gaze of everyone.

That boundless Yin Evil Qi eventually formed a gigantic figure. This figure wore a crown, donned a black ancient robe, had a cold countenance, and carried an ancient, desolate aura, akin to a presence from the primordial era.

Moreover, with his appearance, an unprecedented pressure descended suddenly, causing everyone’s faces to change with horror!

"What is this?"

"Could... could this really be the Venerable Yin Mountain that Ye Qingchen mentioned? But, wasn’t he fallen five hundred years ago? Why is he appearing here now?"

"From Ye Qingchen’s words, it seems the opening of the secret realms of the Withered Forest has a great connection to Venerable Yin Mountain!"

"What on earth is going on?"

Staring at the suddenly appeared figure, everyone froze in disbelief. Soon, cries of shock and disbelief echoed from all directions.

No one had ever imagined.

Venerable Yin Mountain is truly still alive!

Earlier, when Ye Qingchen shouted that phrase, everyone merely saw Ye Qingchen as obsessed. But now that Venerable Yin Mountain appeared in front of them, they could no longer laugh.

"How is this possible?"

Li Chu, Shen Yue, and others’ faces changed, rapidly retreating several steps with eyes wide open.

On that day.

When Ye Qingchen said he was searching for Venerable Yin Mountain, nobody believed him. But now, no one dared not to believe.

"How did you know it’s me behind the scenes of the Withered Forest?"

Venerable Yin Mountain stood in the void, smiling yet not smiling while looking at Ye Qingchen.

Ye Qingchen shook his head, full of disdain:

"I initially only speculated secretly! But when I learned that the broken secret realms opened fully, and cultivators entering the Withered Forest were killing each other for the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures."

"Though the secret realm was shattered, only one person could control the entrance and exit!"

"Thus!"

"From that time on, I knew you were manipulating all this from behind!"

Ye Qingchen decisively declared.

The causality of the whole matter was clear at a glance.

But more people had a preconceived notion that Venerable Yin Mountain was dead and couldn’t appear again. Others were blinded by the continuous emergence of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, unable to see the essence.

"Of course, besides me, this sword also knows!" Ye Qingchen squinted, smiling mysteriously as he patted the Star Sword on his back. "This sword’s resentment has not dissipated, obviously, you are not dead yet!"

"Speak, what is your plot, letting so many of us kill each other?"

Boom!

Upon this statement, there was nothing but astonished uproar, everyone’s complexion changed dramatically.

Originally.

They thought the opening of the secret realms and the emergence of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures was their chance. But until now, they realized it was Venerable Yin Mountain behind all of this!

The more Ye Qingchen spoke, the more shocked Venerable Yin Mountain’s face became, then he simply laughed wildly:

"Indeed, indeed! Since I’ve already appeared, let me tell you then."

"On the day I fought Yan Shisan, though I narrowly escaped death, my soul shattered. Over the centuries, I constantly gathered fragmented souls, thus achieving the Yin Spirit Body."

"But the Yin Spirit Body has many constraints, limiting me greatly. Letting you kill each other is merely to select a suitable body for me to possess for rebirth!"

Venerable Yin Mountain stared at Ye Qingchen, chuckling coldly.

Originally.

He intended to appear when only two or three people were left, so he could possess and rebirth without anyone noticing. But who would have thought, Ye Qingchen already knew he was not dead, further pushing all this from behind the scenes.

Of course, this wasn’t the reason he appeared.

It was Ye Qingchen and Xiao Qi’an’s battle that thoroughly impressed him.

A Human Immortal Second Layer, displaying strength enough to crush a Human Immortal Fifth Layer, whether in body or True Qi, almost without flaw. As long as this body could be seized and added to his top-level Earth Immortal cultivation experience, he could return to the peak within ten years, even reach the legendary Celestial Immortal!

Thus.

He came out!

"Ye Qingchen, if you willingly surrender your body, I can spare your life. Allowing you to reincarnate or even help you cultivate to a Yin Spirit Body!"

Since appearing, Venerable Yin Mountain candidly floated in the void, coldly gazing at Ye Qingchen.

His current strength was negligible, but having seen that previous battle, he was fully aware of Ye Qingchen’s capabilities. He believed seizing Ye Qingchen’s body would be easy.

Before Ye Qingchen replied, an Evil Cultivator impulsively spoke:

"Venerable Yin Mountain, if you seize Ye Qingchen’s body, can we leave?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Venerable, since you’ve chosen a suitable body, can we go?"

For a moment.

Everyone spoke hurriedly.

This was Venerable Yin Mountain!

The Fearsome God famed since five hundred years ago! When Venerable Yin Mountain gained notoriety, these Evil Cultivators didn’t even know where they were hiding. Even if he was just a fragmented Yin Spirit Body, they didn’t have the courage to resist, only wanted to leave quickly!

"You?"

Venerable Yin Mountain displayed a mocking smile on his face, cold as ice:

"Since you’ve seen my true form, stay here! After I possess, I still need vast quantities of blood, and your Qi Blood is abundantly rich!"

When he finished speaking.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Indeed worthy of the infamous Venerable Yin Mountain, he actually planned to trap everyone here.

"Escape!"

Among the Evil Cultivators present, they exchanged glances, hesitating not even slightly, and swiftly erupted into brilliant light, desperately shooting towards the distant horizon.

Since discovering it was Venerable Yin Mountain pushing all this from behind, they’ve intended to retreat, and now Venerable Yin Mountain intends to blood-sacrifice them, who dares to stay?

"Leave!"

Xu Hao, Ning Hill, and others didn’t care about Ye Qingchen at all, violently erupted their cultivation, fleeing towards the outside of the Withered Forest.

"Haha, with Venerable Yin Mountain here, how can you escape? None I wish to kill have ever survived to leave!"

Venerable Yin Mountain laughed heartily, suddenly swinging his long sleeve.

Rumble!

An enormous invisible barrier swayed down like a transparent massive bowl, unexpectedly sealed the surroundings completely.

Fully enclosing this piece of heaven and earth!

In an instant.

Everyone was trapped and sealed within Death Valley, like fish in a barrel.
