Mortal: Supreme Being of the Ghost Path

Chapter 42 Entering the Inner Palace

Another half hour passed.

A soft footstep sound came from outside the stone hall. Qin Han looked up and saw Han Li walking in alone, unhurriedly. His expression was calm, showing no sign of anything unusual. He simply glanced around the hall before finding a secluded corner to sit down cross-legged.

Qin Han withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to rest.

One day later.

After the last two cultivators arrived, no one else appeared for a long time.

When the teleportation array appeared, everyone finally got up, passed through the passage behind the stone hall, and headed towards the inner hall.

At the end of the passage, the view suddenly opened up.

A colossal building, resembling a towering pagoda, appeared before everyone's eyes. It soared into the clouds, was immense, and was entirely constructed of massive blue stones.

From a distance, the tower appears to be divided into five levels, tapering upwards, but the distance between each level is at least a hundred feet.

The bottommost blue stone gate alone is fifty or sixty feet high, imposing and awe-inspiring.

The group of cultivators sat cross-legged in front of the tower, motionless, but their eyes were all fixed on the giant tower, each with their own thoughts.

Qin Han glanced at the people present. Barbarian Beard, Wan Tianming, Ancestor Jiyin, Qingyi Hermit... several Nascent Soul cultivators each occupied a side, and most of them were alone.

Among the Core Formation cultivators were Han Li, Yuan Yao (who was wrapped in a black robe), Wu Chou, and others, as well as some faces he didn't recognize.

Just then, the bearded man suddenly swept his gaze across Yuan Yao and a Core Formation cultivator whom Qin Han did not recognize, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

The two men also noticed the hostility on the bearded man's face. Their expressions changed, and without hesitation, they transformed into a yellow light and a red light, rushing towards the stone tower.

Upon seeing this, the bearded man let out a sinister laugh:

"Trying to leave? Die!"

After saying that, he rubbed his hands together and then simultaneously raised them. Two golden lights shot out in a flash, striking the two streaks of light with surprising speed and speed!

"Boom! Boom!"

With two loud bangs, the Core Formation cultivator in the yellow light was pierced through by the golden light on the spot. He screamed and fell from mid-air, crashing to the ground. His life or death was unknown.

Meanwhile, just as the golden light reached her, a cyan bead flew out from her sleeve, collided with the golden light, and burst into a ball of cyan flame, which barely managed to block the golden light.

The bearded man raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on the blue bead, his expression changing slightly.

"Azure Fire Thunder?"

A hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly, not giving up the pursuit.

Although he was not afraid of the Three Yang Old Demon of the Qingyang Sect, he did not want to provoke her for no reason. This woman had the Azure Fire Thunder on her body, which clearly indicated that she had a close relationship with the Qingyang Sect. Killing her would not bring any benefit.

The bearded man withdrew his gaze and turned to scan the other Core Formation cultivators present.

His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Qin Han.

Qin Han's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm.

A fierce glint flashed in the bearded man's eyes. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and a beam of golden light shot out, heading straight for Qin Han's face!

The golden light came at an extremely fast speed. Qin Han immediately planned to hide in the world inside the cauldron. Just then, a streak of green light flew from the side, arriving first despite being behind, and accurately struck the golden light, intercepting it.

"boom!"

The golden light and the azure light collided, unleashing a deafening roar. The shockwaves rolled and made the robes of everyone present flutter.

The bearded man's face darkened, and he turned to look at the person who had made the move.

"Fellow Daoist Qing, what do you mean by this?"

The bearded man's voice was deep and tinged with displeasure.

Qingyi Jushi stroked his beard calmly and said lightly, "Brother Man, this man is a junior of an old friend of mine. Please show him mercy."

The bearded man frowned, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Qin Han and Qingyi Jushi.

"A junior colleague of an old friend?"

He snorted coldly, his tone tinged with doubt.

"When did you, Qingyi, start having this kind of free time?"

Qingyi Jushi's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was still calm: "I was entrusted with a task, so I'm just doing my duty. Brother Man, let him enter the inner hall. But once he's inside, I won't interfere with your life or death anymore."

As Qing Yi spoke, his cloudy eyes looked at Qin Han, his tone indifferent.

"Yes! This junior will not delay you, senior. If I perish in the inner hall, I can only blame myself for being less skilled. I would never dare to trouble you, senior."

Upon hearing this, Qin Han quickly cupped his hands in agreement.

Qingyi Jushi nodded and then ignored Qin Han.

Seeing this, the bearded man didn't say anything more, he just snorted coldly and looked away, which could be considered as tacit approval!

"Fine. I'll give you face."

After saying this, he stopped looking at Qin Han and turned to scan the other Core Formation cultivators.

At this moment, the Patriarch of Extreme Yin suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of probing:

"Brother Man, there is still one person left. Why don't you take care of him?"

He raised his hand and pointed to a young man in a blue robe not far away. This man was none other than the Xuan Gu Shangren, who was quietly watching the Ji Yin Ancestor and the others.

The bearded man followed his finger and looked at Xuan Gu for a moment before saying indifferently, "This person is a descendant of a senior who has been kind to me. Ji Yin, you are meddling too much."

The patriarch of the Yin Sect's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

After all, he had brought two "disciples" with him among the three people present, so it was not appropriate for him to interfere with their behavior.

Upon hearing this, the other Nascent Soul cultivators present all had their own thoughts and ideas, their eyes flashing.

Qin Han stood behind Qingyi Jushi, his expression unchanged, but his mind was racing.

Just then, Qingyi Jushi's voice transmission rang in his ear, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity:

"That bearded man really did have a backup plan."

Qin Han's lips curled slightly as he replied telepathically:

"Brother Qing, do you believe it now?"

Master Qingyi was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"I believe it. However, the identity of that blue-robed cultivator is probably not simple."

Qin Han didn't reply, his gaze fixed on the young man's figure, a barely perceptible glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Mysterious Bone!

That old devil has indeed climbed up the high branch of the bearded man.

Seeing that the area was almost cleared, Master Qingyi urged everyone to head into the pagoda.

……

Qin Han followed closely behind Han Li and his group, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

The stone passage was dimly lit, and footsteps echoed in the empty space. Just then, a voice suddenly rang in his ear; it was Han Li's voice, tinged with surprise:

"You actually got involved with Qingyi Jushi of the Demonic Path?"

Qin Han did not stop walking, his expression remained unchanged, and not even his eyes showed any fluctuation.

He calmly replied telepathically, "Didn't you also become a disciple of the Extreme Yin Sect?"

Han Li's voice paused slightly, then he continued, "That's different. My relationship with Ji Yin was merely a pretense, forced upon me by circumstances. Moreover, the tracking restriction on me was placed by Ji Yin. But you and Qingyi Jushi..."
