Necropolis Immortal

 invited Xing Lan in, no?

“Then why isn’t he here yet?” Lu Yun asked.

“He doesn’t know where you are, haha! I wouldn’t have found your residence either if I didn’t ask master,” Xing Wuliang chuckled wryly.
Who would make this place off the beaten path their residence? If it wasn’t for the fact that fourth realm denizens didn’t make use of qi, this area would be labeled as completely barren.

“…he wants to beat me up on Xing Lan’s behalf, but she didn’t tell me where I am?” Lu Yun was taken aback.

“No… In fact, she hung him up and gave him a beating.
Xing Lingkong seems to hate you even more after that.”

Lu Yun: ……

“My soul force has reached grandmaster level and I want to seek out some trials.
Do you want to come with me?” Lu Yun couldn’t be bothered with such ridiculous trivialities.
The fourth realm was still extremely foreign to him, so he needed a guide if he wanted to stretch his legs.
Xing Wuliang had been journeying through the realm and tempering himself, so it would be quite advantageous to bring him along.

“That’s perfect!” The man brightened.
“We can avoid Xing Lingkong that way.”

Lu Yun’s expression darkened slightly.
“Do you think it’s that inevitable he’ll beat me up?”

“He was the foremost disciple of the entire sect in his time.
If it wasn’t for senior sister Xing Lan’s sudden appearance, he’d be the one beating up everyone,” explained Xing Wuliang.
“He didn’t fight back when she hung him up either, probably because he knew the truth about her a long time ago.
He purposefully gave up the position of head disciple.”

“I see.” Lu Yun nodded.
“Let’s head out, then.
Sovereign Chen obtained Argent Snow from a sect she destroyed back in the day, do you know which one?”

“What are you asking about that for? Did you choose Argent Snow??” Xing Wuliang’s eyes widened.

“Yep, that’s the one.” Lu Yun waved the silver staff in his hand.

“The Snowsword School!” came the immediate reply.
“It’s not a supplemental dao sect, but a sword sect created by the Sword Clan.

“I don’t know why Sovereign Chen destroyed it, but I recommend you give up on the idea of finding Argent Snow’s legacy in its ruins.
It’s become a den of ghosts and the Star Sect’s lost ten Nihil World Sovereigns there already.
That’s why we forewent the idea of finding the weapon’s inheritance.” Xing Wuliang shook his head.
“It’s too dangerous.
It’s infinitely more dangerous than the Tomb of the Hallowed Emperor.”

“Oh?” Lu Yun paused in contemplation.
Xing Chen had indeed not directed him to the ruins of the Snowsword School, instead wanting him to go to Ingress Sword Island or even the Sword Clan. She didn’t tell me the faction’s name because she didn’t want me to take the risk, but why has it turned into a den of ghosts?

Does it have something to do with why Xing Chen destroyed the faction?

If there was anything he wasn’t afraid of, it was ghosts.

“You’re not really going to the Snowsword Sect, are you?” Xing Wuliang asked carefully as he studied Lu Yun’s expression.

“We’re going!” Lu Yun nodded.
“Since I train with Argent Snow, I need to find its legacy.”

He wasn’t planning on going to Ingress Sword Island just yet.
He didn’t know its true state of affairs—whether it’d been corrupted or deviated from its original purpose.
He’d already sent them Immortal’s End.
If they harbored ulterior motives, then not only him, but also Daoist Ingress would be in danger.

It might even drag in the world of immortals.

“If you’re not planning on traveling with me, you can tell me what you know about the sect,” Lu Yun said.

“Fine then, it doesn’t look like I can talk you out of it,” Xing Wuliang responded with resignation.
“I’ll go with you.
My master once visited that den of ghosts and was lucky enough to survive.
I’ve read his notes, so I should be of some help.”

“That’s perfect, let us be on our way!” Lu Yun smiled and happily accepted his offer.
If there were only ghosts in the sect ruins, they would still come under the Tome of Life and Death’s sway.

Now that Lu Yun’s soul force was grandmaster level, his usage of the book had entered an entirely new level.
He also didn’t need to hold anything back like he had in the Tomb of the Hallowed Emperor.
If he met with an overwhelming enemy, all he needed to do was to immediately utilize the six hellfires.

“Where do you think you’re going, junior brothers?” A figure appeared in front of Lu Yun.
