Lin Wan’er also nodded."I have the same feeling, we need to be careful."
Luo Qingchen extended his Divine Sense, carefully probing the surroundings.
Sure enough, not far behind them, there were a few vague auras tracking them.
It seems Fang Zhenxiong not only intends to kill with a borrowed knife but also has a backup plan.
"Don’t worry, everything is under control."
Luo Qingchen reassured them.
"Let’s first go to the Spirit Mine to check things out, and then decide what to do."
The Qingyun Spirit Mine was built on the mountainside of a small hill, usually bustling with activity.
Now it was deathly silent, not a soul in sight.
The three arrived at the mine entrance, only to see that the protective array at the entrance had already been shattered, and numerous bodies were scattered on the ground.
These corpses mostly belonged to the sect’s mining workers, and they had died in a terribly tragic manner.
"The wounds on these people are very strange."
Lin Wan’er squatted down to examine them, her expression grave.
"They don’t seem to be from swords, but rather something corrosive."
Luo Qingchen also examined them carefully, feeling secretly alert.
He had seen such wounds before in the Life-taking Swamp.
Those black-clothed cultivators used this exact sinister cultivation technique.
"Let’s go inside and take a look."
Luo Qingchen took the lead and walked deeper into the mine.
The tunnel inside the mine was pitch black, only a few dim lamps offering slight illumination.
The air was filled with a heavy smell of blood and an overwhelmingly nauseating stench.
The further they walked, the stronger this strange smell became.
"Wan’er, is there any reaction from Ling’er?"
Luo Qingchen asked.
Lin Wan’er looked down at Bai Ling’er in her arms, seeing the little girl frowning, her little finger pointing towards the depth of the mine.
"She seems to have sensed something unusual."
Lin Wan’er whispered.
"And she looks very uneasy."
Luo Qingchen nodded, quickening his pace.
The mine tunnel was winding and twisting, and it took them an hour of walking before they saw a faint light ahead.
The three cautiously approached, only to find a large underground space before them.
In the center of the space, there was a deep pit with a diameter of several tens of yards, surrounded by various excavation tools.
But the most striking thing was the eerie runes around the edge of the pit.
These runes emitted a dark red glow, identical to the symbols Luo Qingchen had seen at Zhang Family Village.
"This is..."
Su Xiaowan gasped.
"An Evil Array!"
Luo Qingchen carefully observed those runes, puzzled.
Those black-clothed cultivators attacked the Spirit Mine not merely to plunder Spirit Stones, but as if searching for something specific.
"Watch out!"
Lin Wan’er suddenly warned in a low voice.
Only to see a few monsters slowly climbing out of the pit.
These monsters appeared to have been miners, now completely unrecognizable.
Their skin was a sickly bluish-black, eyes blood-red, and nails sharp as blades.
Most horrifying was the rotten stench they emitted, clearly indicating they had been corrupted by some evil power.
"Are these... Corpse Puppets?"
Su Xiaowan exclaimed in horror.
Luo Qingchen furrowed his brow, sensing these Corpse Puppets’ auras were very unusual.
They not only retained their cultivation from life but were even stronger!
"Be cautious in battle, these things aren’t easy to deal with!"
Before his words finished, the Corpse Puppets howled and rushed forward.
Luo Qingchen drew his sword to face the enemy, the Black Dragon Sword slashing out a fierce Sword Light, aimed straight at the foremost Corpse Puppet.
However, the Corpse Puppet reacted swiftly, sidestepping the sword strike.
More alarmingly, its claws left several deep marks on Luo Qingchen’s protective Spiritual Energy!
"These Corpse Puppets are very powerful!"
Luo Qingchen reminded.
"And they don’t seem to feel pain!"
Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan each engaged a Corpse Puppet.
Lin Wan’er’s Heavenly Essence Spiritual Power had a certain restraining effect on these evil creatures, but the effect was limited.
Su Xiaowan’s various talismans were effective, but the expenditure was significant.
The battle was intensely fierce, and the three gradually felt strained.
At that moment, Bai Ling’er suddenly popped her little head out from Lin Wan’er’s arms.
She looked at the Corpse Puppets, her tiny face showing an angry expression.
Immediately, a golden light flashed across the leaf of the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Grass at her brow.
A weak yet majestic Dragon Power emanated from her.
The Corpse Puppets sensed this Dragon Power, instantly showing frightened expressions.
Their movements became stiff, and their attack capabilities were greatly reduced.
"Now’s the time!"
Luo Qingchen seized the opportunity and fully unleashed the Chaos Sword Technique.
"Chaos Sword Technique: Star Fall!"
A dazzling Sword Light descended from the heavens, splitting those Corpse Puppets into two.
After the Corpse Puppets were destroyed, the entire underground space quieted down.
But Luo Qingchen felt even heavier.
The appearance of these Corpse Puppets indicated the methods of the black-clothed cultivators were even more sinister than anticipated.
"Let’s continue deeper and see what else we find."
The three continued exploring along the edge of the pit, soon discovering a hidden passage on a wall.
The passage was narrow, only enough for one person to pass through.
Luo Qingchen went in first, followed closely by Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan.
The end of the passage opened into another larger underground space.
The setup here was even more bizarre, with dense runes carved all over the walls.
In the center of the space, there was a huge array, with a black Crystal Stone at its core.
The Crystal Stone emitted a soul-sucking black light, making anyone who saw it feel dizzy and nauseous.
"What is this thing?"
Su Xiaowan held her head, looking very uncomfortable.
Luo Qingchen also felt a wave of discomfort, but he suppressed it and carefully observed the array.
