Chapter 349: The Millennium City

Seeing that he truly could not find Guo Qin and could not get in touch with him either, Ye Lin had no choice but to give up.

This guy was never honest for a single day; because of some trivial matter of an inch or two, he would delay important business from time to time—sooner or later, he would have him castrated.

Ye Lin looked toward Yun Xintong and said with a grin.

"Vice Dean Yun, please open the gate to the Leaving Grave Secret Realm."

Yun Xintong shot him a glance, wiped the footprint off his face, and said while suppressing his anger.

"You may enter the Leaving Grave Secret Realm, but those above the Third Realm are not permitted to enter."

"Why?" Ye Lin subconsciously felt as if Yun Xintong was trying to trip him up.

"The Leaving Grave Secret Realm is already considered the territory of the Demon Race. Human experts above the Third Realm may not step into Demon territory, and Demon existences above the King rank may not step into Human territory; this is considered an unspoken rule defaulted to by both the Human and Demon races."

Yun Xintong sneered.

"If you don't believe me, you can have that Shen Jingbin beside you follow you in and try it out, and see if you don't immediately invite a siege from the Demon Race."

"Ye Lin, this dog of a man is indeed not lying to you; existences above the Third Realm entering the Demon Realm will indeed be hunted down immediately," Professor Shen chimed in.

Ye Lin nodded; relying on himself alone to take down a Skin Corpse King comparable to the Starry Sky Realm and then retreat from the Demon Realm unscathed—the difficulty of this was not ordinary.

While they were speaking, Yun Xintong had already opened the entrance to the Leaving Grave Secret Realm.

For the sake of what Qiu Xingyuan called an existence even more heaven-defying than the Phantom Face, Ye Lin intended to take the risk.

"Ye Lin, Skin Corpses look exactly like humans, but I have a good way to determine whether the other party has been parasitized by a Skin Corpse."

Shen Jingbin reminded him loudly.

"Just stick your finger directly into the other person's mouth and stir it around; if there is saliva in the mouth, it's a human, and if your finger is gone, it's a Skin Corpse!"

Ye Lin: "..."

"Thank you, Professor Shen."

"You're welcome!"

Ye Lin's figure disappeared into the entrance of the Leaving Grave Secret Realm.

Above the gloomy earth, mist swirled, and the thin moonlight was incomparably pale, only barely illuminating the winding path ahead.

From time to time, sounds like whimpering came from all around, as if the wind were passing through a canyon, or as if souls that had died but not dissipated were crying.

The air was permeated with a faint scent of decay, and at a glance, one could see several eerie green flames floating above mounds of earth.

With a twist and ripple in the space, Ye Lin's figure appeared on this land.

The aura of the living collided with this dead, silent land, and even those floating flames began to sway.

Ye Lin had only just arrived when he heard a sound of breaking air from behind him.

He turned his head abruptly and raised his hand to seize the thing behind him, only to discover that the thing trying to ambush him was a demon creature that looked a bit like a bat, with a reddish body and bloodthirsty light flickering in its round eyes.

Even though it had been seized by him, this demon creature still twisted its body, constantly trying to pierce its sharp fangs into his body.

"Hey, do you know where the Millennium City is?"

Ye Lin asked the bat-like demon creature.

It was a pity that the bat before him was only a low-level demon creature that only knew how to act on instinct and could not understand what Ye Lin was saying at all.

Ye Lin sighed helplessly, and once Endless Devour was activated, the bat demon creature soon stopped struggling.

"I should have asked Qiu Xingyuan if he had a map; there are grave mounds everywhere here, where am I supposed to find the Millennium City?"

Ye Lin walked up to a large tomb and, seeing that there were still offerings in front of it, he ate them without hesitation.

After eating just a few bites, Ye Lin felt the ground beneath his feet shaking incessantly, and then a crack split open in the large tomb in front of him; a withered claw reached out from the gap and gripped the edge.

"Yo? It's alive? Great!"

Ye Lin stepped forward, grabbed that hand, and dragged the creature out of the tomb.

Inside the tomb was a dried corpse nearly two meters tall, clad in ancient armor; the pale moonlight barely pierced the mist, shining on this zombie and outlining its ferocious silhouette, its skin shriveled like the bark of a dead tree, and green flames burned in its deeply sunken eyes.

"Big brother, do you know which way to the Millennium City?" Ye Lin asked while holding the dried corpse's hand.

The dried corpse opened its mouth and let out a hoarse, low roar; the dry, eerie sound was like a call from the Yellow Springs, making one's heart and soul turn cold.

Slap!

A loud, resounding slap interrupted the dried corpse's roar, and the dried corpse's head twisted 360 degrees, its neck becoming spiral-shaped.

"I'm fucking asking you a question! Speak!"

The dried corpse was stunned, its hollow eyes looking at Ye Lin with some grievance.

The intelligence of this dried corpse was clearly much higher than that of the bat from just before; after receiving a slap from Ye Lin, it became obedient on the spot.

It wailed and ghost-cried for a while, and seeing that Ye Lin couldn't understand it at all and was becoming increasingly impatient, it immediately gestured with its hands and pointed out a direction for Ye Lin.

"Damn it, you can't even speak clearly! Go, you're taking me there!"

Ye Lin vaulted onto the mount, riding directly on the dried corpse's head.

In principle, this dried corpse, which was a high-level demon creature, was unwilling, but now the principle was in Ye Lin's hands.

Looking at the lightning arcs dancing on Ye Lin's fingertips, the dried corpse obediently carried Ye Lin and ran forward.

Along the way, sensing the aura of the living on Ye Lin, countless grave mounds split open one after another, and dried corpse after dried corpse crawled out from the tombs.

These dried corpses were all around level fifty, with muscles of steel and bones of iron, impervious to swords and spears, and they had no vital weaknesses; only by completely destroying their bodies could they be killed.

Ordinary job-changers would definitely have a massive headache upon encountering these dried corpses, but for Ye Lin, it was just a matter of one forbidden spell.

With one blast of World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder, following the roar of the lightning element, all the dried corpses that dared to come and harass Ye Lin turned into charred corpses, and were then transformed into nutrients for Ye Lin by Endless Devour.

The dried corpse being ridden by Ye Lin saw the miserable state of its companions and was so scared that it ran even more frantically, only regretting that it hadn't been born with two fewer legs.

Before long, the silhouette of a massive ancient city appeared in Ye Lin's line of sight, like a giant beast crouching under the moonlight.

The tall city gates were tightly shut, and dark green, unknown plants grew on the mottled city walls; the entire city looked extremely similar to a human city.

"Could this Millennium City be an existence like the Bajin City inside the Soul-Crying Secret Realm?"

Ye Lin jumped down from the dried corpse's head and carefully examined the city before him.

Seeing that Ye Lin was not speaking, the dried corpse carefully retreated, wanting to slip away while Ye Lin wasn't paying attention to it.

But just as its foot was lifted, Ye Lin turned his head abruptly.

"Trying to sneak attack me? You have chosen the path of death!"

Ye Lin grabbed it and refined it in an instant.
