Chapter 348: Chapter 355 Entering the Forbidden Area! Blood Illusion Bronze! (Fifth update)
Translator: 549690339
The feeling of the Spirit Soul entering the Forbidden Land of Life was completely different from that of the body entering.
After Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue entered the Forbidden Land of Life, their figures quivered simultaneously, and they exchanged startled glance’s.
In mid-air, it was as though a sinister aura was slowly coiling in front of them causing their True Essences to completely lay dormant within them, as if they ’ had encountered a natural enemy.
It was extremely eerie!
“Don’t use your True Essence powers for now!” Hua Youyue looked at the surrounding environment, a hint of seriousness flashed across her face, “The aura here is more bizarre than I had imagined.”
Yang Zhen smirked, “You haven’t even seen the truly eerie part yet Earlier when I accidentally left my body, I saw several even more bizarre places.” ’ Next, just as Yang Zhen was about to tell Hua Youyue about the strange things he had encountered in the Forbidden Land of Life, two ghostly howls came from behind him. The sound made the corner of Yang Zhen’s mouth twitch and he turned around and cursed, “Damn it, can you two keep quiet for a bit?” Sao Saint flicked his neck, arrogantly like a phoenix, flapping his wings strenuously to fly onto Hua Youyue’s shoulder, giving the Rogue Practitioner a disdainful look.
The Rogue Practitioner was immediately enraged, pointing at Sao Saint and said, “If you dare, come down here!”
“No!”
Sao Saint’s pride was something the Rogue Practitioner couldn’t stand.
The Rogue Practitioner paused, chuckled coldly, and climbed up Yang Zhen’s leg to squat on Yang Zhen’s shoulder.
-Kid, this place is very eerie, and we only have twenty days. Where is the Bone Mountain you talked about?”
Yang Zhen was taken aback and a confused look spread across his face “I forgot!”
“Forgot?” The Rogue Practitioner was furious, “You’ve been wandering around for half a day, and you didn’t remember a single path?”
“Who the hell could remember the roads inside this place? There’s some kind of force that keeps pulling me this way and that. It’s incredibly annoying. But I, Sao Saint, do know the way back. Impressive, right?”
Mo Xueling and the others followed, surrounded by the genius disciples of Ink Pool Peak and Spiritual Studies Palace, as well as some selected rogue practitioners.
One should not underestimate the power of rogue practitioners. Once assembled, they became an existence that gave headaches to any force. Mo Xueling came up to Yang Zhen, looked at him with a strange face, and asked, “After coming in, do you have any memorable reference objects?” Yang Zhen thought for a moment, shook his head and said, “I do have a reference object, but it’s just too dangerous. I wouldn’t recommend going that way.”
“Where?” The Rogue Practitioner asked curiously.
Yang Zhen pointed in a direction, “Over there is an ancient bronze tree it’s quite old…”
Before he could finish, there was a sudden exclamation from behind the crowd “What did you say?”
Mo Xueling and the others turned around to look. A line of people in black quickly approached. The leader, a young man in the Divine Travel Stage, had a puzzled look on his face, staring at the direction Yang Zhen was pointing to, “You just mentioned an ancient bronze tree, is it true?”
These black-clad men had an arrogance comparable to Sao Saint. Not to mention Yang Zhen and the others, even the Sao Saint on Hua Youyue’s shoulder couldn’t stand it anymore. He shook his head and said, “Idiots!” -You …” The young man looked gloomy, glared at the Sao Saint on Hua Youyue’s shoulder, and huffed.
Mo Xueling suddenly giggled, and said to the young man, “Liu Zongqi, if you want to know about the ancient bronze tree, shouldn’t you be more polite?” Liu Zongqi’s face changed, he looked at Mo Xueling and was about to speak when a young woman came up from the side and giggled, “Sister Mo, Brother Liu is straightforward in nature, please pardon any offense. The ancient bronze tree is vital to our Green Cloud Sect. If you could share some information, Shi Yan would be grateful.”
As she spoke, the woman named Shi Yan turned to Yang Zhen. Her eyes sparkled with a smile, filled with melancholy which made it hard for any man to refuse her requests.
Yang Zhen was taken aback by the expression on Shi Yan’s face, scratching his head and asking, “A bronze ancient tree, did I mention a bronze ancient tree?” “No!” The wretched cat screeched in agreement, “What is a bronze ancient tree can it be eaten?”
Sao Chicken nodded on Hua Youyue’s shoulder, “No, it cannot be eaten!”
The three wretches laughed, their teasing could have killed someone.
Shi Yan looked flabbergasted, as it was unexpected for Yang Zhen to so decisively deny what he had just said.
When Shi Yan glanced at Mo Xueling and Hua Youyue, she suddenly understood.
She… couldn’t compete with the two women before her eyes. Mo Xueling’s chest may have been smaller, but it was bigger than hers, and this made her somewhat uncomfortable.
Shi Yan looked embarrassed and was about to speak. Liu Zongqi to her side sneered, “You must be that Yang Zhen, right?”
Liu Zongqi looked Yang Zhen up and down, laughed sarcastically, “Just as I thought. Even if you don’t tell us, we would still figure out the general direction. We’ll go ahead, but… don’t blame me if we see you again by the Bronze Ancient Tree.”
Yang Zhen grunted, turned to Hua Youyue, and said, “Miss, let’s go quickly. I.. I’m kind of scared!”
A smile appeared on Hua Youyue’s face. She nodded and replied, “Okay!” Seeing Yang Zhen turning his head and ready to leave, Mo Xueling looked startled and quickly rushed to catch up. Most of the people in the group showed peculiar and discontented faces.
There was a burst of laughter from behind them, oozing with ridicule and disdain.
Mo Xueling rushed to catch up with Yang Zhen and asked, “You usually don’t leave abruptly like this. Are you hiding something from us?”
The others suddenly realized and redirected their gazes towards Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen shrugged, “What could I be hiding from you? The Bronze Ancient Tree is just fine, nothing mysterious about it.”
Mo Xueling looked at him skeptically, “According to legend, the ancestral home of the Green Cloud Sect had an enormous Bronze Tree which was over ten zhang tall. At that time, the Green Cloud Sect was incredibly powerful. But Its fortune later dwindled, and the whereabouts of the Bronze Ancient Tree became unknown. The only remnants of it are a one zhang tall Bronze Tree.” “Ten zhang?”
Yang Zhen was taken aback. Recalling the gigantic Bronze Ancient Tree, a peculiar look flashed across his face. He turned around and said, “Let’s go take a look!”
“Lad, there won’t be any danger, right?” the wretched cat looked strangely at
him, “Why do I feel like you’re up to no good?”
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes, “It’s not me who’s up to no good. It’s just that there’s something strange about the Bronze Ancient Tree. If that pretty boy had been polite with me, I would have told him.”
The wretched cat cackled, “I love it when you lie with a straight face. Tell me, what’s so strange about this Bronze Ancient Tree?”
Yang Zhen seemed frightened and cursed, “That Bronze Ancient Tree is full of all kinds of corpses. They have…”
At this point, Yang Zhen turned serious, and mysteriously said, “And those corpses, it seems like they hung themselves there.”
“What?” The wretched cat’s eyes bulged, then he smirked, “What do you mean they hung themselves? Can corpses even move?”
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, “They were alive when they impaled themselves onto the branches of the Bronze Ancient Tree.”
“What?” Mo Xueling suddenly exclaimed, her horrified expression revealing her thoughts, “Blood Illusion Bronze!”
Yang Zhen was taken aback, “What do you mean by Blood Illusion Bronze?” Mo Xueling didn’t answer his question. Her expression gradually changed as she said, “We can’t be sure yet. We need to catch up and take a look If it really is Blood Illusion Bronze, then we’re in trouble..”
