Chapter 1002 Fake Death
Zhu Qingzhi looked at him curiously.

Leng Tieya said, "The beads they're carrying are vicious and dangerous."

Zhu Qingzhi nodded solemnly and directly warned all the outer disciples of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace within the Soul Pearl.

They straightened their expressions and focused their attention. When they noticed a disciple of the Yougu Sect trying to reach into their robes, they struck without hesitation, preventing the other party from succeeding.

Leng Tieya nodded in satisfaction.

None of the disciples of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace are stupid or weak.

The experts of the Nether Bone Sect are all extraordinary, being Heavenly Demons. However, among the Heavenly Demons, the disciples of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace possess even more powerful combat techniques.

Moreover, it was at least two against one, giving them an absolute advantage.

Leng Tieya glanced around.

Zhu Qingzhi kept her eyes on the battlefield, ready to provide support at any time.

Especially those disciples of the Yougu Sect who try to reach into your bosom, never let them get away with it, and stop them in time.

Soon, Zhu Qingzhi moved swiftly, forming a series of blurry shadows that appeared almost anywhere on the battlefield.

It moves incredibly fast and is unpredictable.

Leng Tieya shook his head.

Zhu Qingzhi, the deputy steward, was not ruthless enough; she was too concerned about her disciple's safety.

A mighty demon king actually interfered in the battle between demon kings.

This effectively diminishes the effectiveness of the training.

But at the same time, it also ensured that the disciples would not be lost, and their confidence would be undiminished.

"Clang..." He drew his longsword.

"laugh!"

A white rainbow streaked across the sky, shooting towards the cave entrance.

However, he merged with the sword and instantly arrived at the cave entrance, enveloping the two figures that appeared there.

They were two middle-aged men, both with the cultivation level of the first rank of Heavenly Demon, and as thin as bamboo poles.

Leng Tieya knew that this was because their Yougu Sect's cultivation method had reached an extremely deep level, allowing them to refine their demonic energy into their bones, and even their essence and blood into their bones.

Sensing danger, they stretched out their palms to meet the sword light, their withered hands meeting the sword's gleam with a faint, dark light.

The lightning-fast sword light dimmed considerably upon encountering the dark light, its power diminished.

Leng Tieya shook his head, and the sword light suddenly shone brightly.

The gap between a Great Heavenly Demon and a Heavenly Demon is greater than imagined.

The Nether Bone Sect's cultivation method could not erase this gap; the sword light swirled in their hands.

Their hands left their wrists and fell downwards.

The sword light shot upwards, and before they could react, it had already sliced ​​across their necks.

The two first-rank Heavenly Demons were no match for his sword light.

The two heads rolled off and plunged into the abyss below the cliff.

But no blood spurted from their necks.

Leng Tieya frowned, sensing that they were still alive.

Even though the Soul Pearl was destroyed, the soul hasn't returned to the Demon Abyss and is still alive!

He defied superstition and drew his sword.

The sword's edge sliced ​​through their headless corpses, severing their arms, and then their legs.

Zhu Qingzhi appeared beside him.

Leng Tieya then stopped wielding his sword, breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said, "Truly impressive."

He discovered that the bones of these highly skilled Nether Bone Sect experts actually had patterns on them.

It wasn't the pattern of the fierce beast or the auspicious beast, but another pattern he didn't believe in.

The existence of these patterns keeps them alive; even if their soul pearls are damaged or their heads are removed, they still do not die.

What is the secret behind these patterns?

"Nephew Leng, do you have a grudge against them?" Zhu Qingzhi asked.

Leng Tieya shook his head.

"Then why...?" Zhu Qingzhi asked, puzzled.

Leng Tieya said, "Only in this way can they be completely killed."

If it weren't for extrasensory perception, we probably wouldn't have been able to detect their remaining vitality.

This glimmer of life was so faint as to be almost imperceptible.

"Oh—?" Zhu Qingzhi asked, "You didn't kill them before?"

Leng Tieya shook his head.

Zhu Qingzhi frowned as she looked at the several Yougu Sect disciples who were lying on the ground, unable to get up.

Leng Tieya said, "They're not quite dead yet. Steward, why don't you check if the other Nether Bone Sect disciples are also not quite dead?"

Zhu Qingzhi's figure blurred, and the next moment she appeared in the scene. When she returned to Leng Tieya's side, she was carrying two corpses in her hands.

She threw them on the ground, her face darkening slightly.

Leng Tieya asked, "How is it?"

Zhu Qingzhi said in a deep voice, "They're definitely not completely dead... This is their way of protecting themselves!... Did we not discover this last time?"

If that's the case, then it's a huge mistake!
After all, the Soul Pearl is broken, and the soul returns to the Abyss of Demons—this is an ironclad rule. Given this ironclad rule, and considering that this wisp of life force was so weak and difficult to detect, it's understandable that it was overlooked.

That's why the Yougu Sect has been repeatedly suppressed but never eradicated, and has been able to rise from the ashes.

Zhu Qingzhi looked tense.

This may be the most fundamental secret of the Nether Bone Sect.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qingzhi gritted her teeth and said, "This must be reported to the steward."

Leng Tieya nodded.

He has already passed this discovery on to Zhou Jiongming.

Zhou Jiongming told him to figure it out.

Zhu Qingzhi sized up the Yougu Sect disciples who were fighting, her eyes burning: "Yougu Sect, they're really troublesome."

Leng Tieya said, "Steward, let's get started. Business is more important."

“Okay!” Zhu Qingzhi nodded solemnly.

At this point, there was no time to let the disciples gain experience; figuring out the mystery was the most important thing.

“Let’s see who kills more!” Zhu Qingzhi said.

Leng Tieya shook his head with a smile: "I concede defeat."

As he spoke, he brandished his longsword, and then, man and sword became one, transforming into a white rainbow that shot into the arena.

Wherever the white light passed, figures came to an abrupt halt, dying silently.

With his super-sensory perception, he could clearly see the location of the Soul Orb, and the sword beam struck it precisely.

None of the Nether Bone Sect experts in the arena could withstand a single blow; in the blink of an eye, half of the remaining Nether Bone Sect experts had been wiped out.

Zhu Qingzhi's graceful and blurry figure appeared in the battlefield. More than a dozen figures appeared almost simultaneously, their white little hands striking and killing the Yougu Sect disciples one by one.

Leng Tieya could see it clearly.

Zhu Qingzhi's jade-like hands were crystal clear, but her palm strikes were extremely domineering, destroying the internal organs and shattering the Soul Pearl at the same time.

When the two reappeared in clear form, all the disciples of the Yougu Sect were dead.

The outer disciples of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace all stopped fighting, their expressions helpless.

Unexpectedly, Leng Tieya and Zhu Qingzhi snatched their opponents.

They knew of Leng Tieya, but this was the first time they had seen him, and they looked at him with curiosity.

Leng Tieya looked at Zhu Qingzhi.

Zhu Qingzhi bent down and peered at several disciples of the Yougu Sect, her expression growing increasingly solemn.

Leng Tieya asked, "How is it?"

Zhu Qingzhi frowned in thought: "They must have practiced some kind of esoteric mental cultivation method?"

She took out black beads from the pockets of several disciples of the Yougu Sect.

It is the size of a longan and as black as ink.

Leng Tieya sensed a faint danger; the black beads were incredibly powerful and posed a threat to his life.

Zhu Qingzhi examined the black beads: "It's not because of this, is it?"

He casually tossed one to Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya took it, examined it carefully, and finally shook his head, looking at Zhu Qingzhi.

He had already discerned that the bead contained a strange aura, an aura that subtly harmed the Soul Bead.

Zhu Qingzhi also shook her head: "I can't figure it out. Let's take it back and let the elders study it."

Leng Tieya said, "If the elders can figure it out, then take these back as well."

"Okay, Guo Pu, Zhang Ge, you two take ten disciples and take these corpses back."

"Yes!" the two young men clasped their hands in agreement.

They took ten disciples with them and took all the corpses away.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings returned to silence.

The remaining outer palace disciples went into hiding, preparing for the next ambush.

Leng Tieya and Zhu Qingzhi arrived at the mountain peak and stood side by side, facing the gentle breeze.

Zhu Qingzhi seemed to be deep in thought.

Leng Tieya knew that she was communicating with the outer steward Yu Zhengsheng using the Soul Pearl.

After a moment, Zhu Qingzhi sighed and shook her head, saying, "The steward said that if we were negligent and didn't discover that they could play dead, then it would have been a huge mistake!"

Leng Tieya said, "If they had already mastered this feigned death technique, the strength of the Yougu Sect would not have been weakened."

“Exactly.” Zhu Qingzhi nodded hurriedly: “But the Yougu Sect has indeed weakened considerably… perhaps they have gone into hiding, or perhaps they are genuinely weak.”

Leng Tieya said, "We don't need to worry about what happened before. It's not too late to wipe them out now."

“...That’s true.” Zhu Qingzhi said, “It would be good if we could wipe them out.”

Leng Tieya raised an eyebrow.

Fei Dao noticed that two groups of You Gu Sect disciples flew out of the valley, heading in two different directions, and it seemed they weren't coming this way.

The Nether Bone Sect likely has two other secret locations!

If that's the case, we need to investigate thoroughly and find the other two locations.

Besides these two places, are there any other secret locations?
