Chapter 925: Demon Palace Passage

Ye Liuyun basically didn't care what others said. He sorted his loot on the road, estimating it was enough for him to exchange for a few thousand points.

There were also so many people's treasures and Spirit Stones, piled into several small hills. The pills he could use, he sorted them out.

Inside there were many Return Pills, saving him the trouble of exchanging again.

His current resources could be said to be inexhaustible!

He also retrieved the stolen Transmission Talisman.

"Looks like after exiting the Secret Realm, I'll have to go back to Brave Fierce Island!"

Ye Liuyun now feels that letting others handle things still doesn't ease his mind.

Moreover, the resources he can't use are best sent back to Brave Fierce Island.

Ling Shuang, seeing Ye Liuyun finish sorting, then said to him seriously, "Following you might cause you trouble!"

Ye Liuyun, hearing that, smiled and reassured Ling Shuang: "I'm prepared in my mind, knowing it relates to your family background! If you don't want to say, you can stay silent!"

"Thank you for your understanding!" Ling Shuang was also very grateful for Ye Liuyun's comprehension.

She feels it's not yet the time to reveal her identity.

Ye Liuyun also never thought to ask about their background.

He already had plenty of troubles. Taking advantage of now having his own power, he doesn't mind making a bigger splash to become famous earlier!

In the upcoming battles, Ye Liuyun rarely used ferocious beasts, instead fighting the Corpse Demon together with Yuan Datou and Ling Shuang.

When his True Essence was exhausted, he took a Return Pill to recover.

When truly confronting a high-level Corpse Demon, he would hand it over to Magic Vine to devour its energy.

Thus after two days of fighting, his True Essence had been honed to an unusually solid state.

He also took time to return to Xuan Kong Shi, absorbing some Demon Beast Essence Pills, raising his realm to the late stage of Yin Yang Eightfold.

Unwittingly, Ye Liuyun, with Yuan Datou and Ling Shuang, found themselves back near the Demon Palace.

"What a coincidence!" Ye Liuyun joked to himself.

His Divine Sense detected that people from the Ten Thousand Dragons Society were ambushing ahead, so he led the others to skirt around them from a distance.

Ye Liuyun didn't want to meet them, so he led the others to circle around the Demon Qi area to avoid.

But the Seventh Prince, with his men, followed.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense found that the Seventh Prince didn't seem to have noticed him, wasn't deliberately charging at him, but appeared to be probing something.

Curious, he kept scouting ahead of them.

"A gap!"

Ye Liuyun didn't go far before noticing a big mountain ahead, and the Demon Qi only spread up to the Mid-Mountain Ridge.

Below the ridge, there was a Cave, where the Demon Qi hadn't reached, very conspicuous.

"Could it be that they're after this Cave!"

He immediately led Yuan Datou and Ling Shuang to investigate.

Inside the Cave, Demon Qi was stronger, and Yin Qi was heavy. Ye Liuyun suspected a Yin Soul guard.

He scanned with his Golden Pupil, finding the Cave's interior vast; in the middle stood a tombstone.

But terrifyingly, in front of the tombstone stood a member of the Demon Race, guarding.

And that Demon Race being showed no Divine Sense fluctuation, clearly dead! Yet it looked as if alive.

From its body, dense Demon Qi still emanated.

"This—dead or alive!" Ye Liuyun for a moment didn't know whether to proceed further or retreat.

On the other side of the Cave, there was a passage.

"Perhaps this is the passage to the Demon Palace!"

He thought inwardly, feeling a bit unwilling to withdraw just like that.

Yuan Datou and Ling Shuang at this moment also saw the Demon Race's corpse.

Ling Shuang was startled, letting out a gasp.

With her gasp, the Demon corpse seemed to move a bit.

But Ling Shuang then covered her mouth, swallowing any further sound.

The Demon corpse immediately fell back into a motionless state.

Ye Liuyun gestured to Yuan Datou and Ling Shuang, signaling them to cover their mouths, stay silent, and wait where they were.

Ling Shuang, feeling uneasy, sent a Transmission Voice to him, urging him not to take the risk.

Ye Liuyun waved his hand to her, reassuring her.

He then gathered his breath, boldly stepping toward the Demon corpse.

He wielded the Demon Slaying Sword, moving cautiously, eyes fixed on the Demon corpse. When he reached close, he found it gave no response.

The Demon corpse kept its eyes closed, as if asleep.

Ye Liuyun sensed its aura, discovering the Demon corpse's realm was nearly at the late stage of the Respectable Rank, far beyond what they could handle.

If it suddenly turned hostile, Ye Liuyun could only rely on his artifact protective garment to block briefly, then flee.

After passing that living corpse, Ye Liuyun kept retreating defensively, always facing it head‑on, fully concentrating on its movements.

Until he safely reached the passage on the other side, the Demon corpse remained unmoving.

And at the far end of the passage behind him, a light had already appeared.

Ye Liuyun flashed forward, entered the passage, and rushed straight to its end.

The passage was long; at its end was a sheer cliff, below which roared a river.

But here, it was clearly beyond the Demon Qi zone.

Opposite the cliff stood the terrifying Demon Palace.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil also saw a person climbing upward on the opposite cliff, heading toward the Demon Palace.

"It really is the passage leading to the Demon Palace."

Ye Liuyun immediately turned back and went to greet Yuan Datou and Ling Shuang.

Upon seeing Ye Liuyun enter, Yuan Datou and Ling Shuang also did not know the situation inside, so they could only wait anxiously in place.

They also wanted to follow in, but having no news of Ye Liuyun, they dared not move recklessly, fearing they might disturb this demon race corpse.

Their resistance to the pressure was inherently weaker than Ye Liuyun's; thus, at this moment, standing a little farther away, they could still feel the horror of this corpse.

Not long after, Ye Liuyun ran back, waved at them to come over. He dared not use Divine Sense to transmit a voice, fearing it would rouse that undead corpse.

Seeing this, Yuan Datou directly covered his mouth, restrained his breath, took a deep breath, and walked over.

Ling Shuang, however, hesitated on the spot for a while before gathering courage and slowly walking over.

Yuan Datou, in one breath, walked to Ye Liuyun's side.

Ye Liuyun pointed to the passage inside, letting him go in first, and even gave him a push, indicating he should hurry.

Yuan Datou understood, and immediately sprinted toward the end of the passage.

Ye Liuyun, meanwhile, stayed at the entrance of the passage waiting for Ling Shuang.

Ling Shuang trembled with fear and walked very slowly.

Especially when approaching that demon race corpse, one had to strain to maintain resistance against its pressure.

While Ling Shuang was dawdling, the Seventh Prince brought people and followed them in.

"This is the passage!" the Seventh Prince said upon entering, without even looking at the situation, he just blurted out a sentence.

That Demon Race corpse immediately showed movement; its fingers twitched, and the Demon Qi on its body surged out some more.
