Necropolis Immortal

“There is another way,” Yuying suddenly offered.
“Send out the floating peak and use its resurrection layout to prolong Sir Qing Han’s life.”

“That’s right, the resurrection layout!” Lu Yun’s eyes shone as he looked in the peak’s direction.

Qing Han couldn’t enter the Gates of the Abyss, since he was still alive, but Lu Yun could bring the peak to him.

“Feinie… you come out with me as well!” The governor made up his mind with a tightening of his jaw.
“Let’s hope Dusk Province’s restrictions are targeted at those displaying a golden immortal’s strength, rather than their cultivation realm.”

“Understood,” Feinie acknowledged, her face serene.
She’d once executed thirty-six peerless immortal kings in a row with the help of the Formation Orb.
Though her strength had now decayed to true immortal realm, it should be enough to withstand an undead hag.
And even if she were killed by the restrictions, the Tome of Life and Death would bring her back.

For Qing Han’s sake, Lu Yun was willing to throw caution to the wind.
He’d always been a loyal man, even back on Earth.
He could forsake riches and put his own life in danger, but he’d never turn his back on a comrade in need.

……

Li Youcai and Miao gaped at the floating peak’s reemergence.
Thankfully, they were currently standing in a space that was wide enough to accommodate the peak, despite its size.

Lu Yun placed Qing Han at the pole of life in the layout, then floated down the peak’s slopes.

“Feinie, stay here and protect him.
Yuying and I will go after Formation Thirteenth.” Seeing Feinie remain safe and sound outside the gates was a relief.

The former Truewater city lord nodded gently.
She’d altered her appearance to avoid unnecessary trouble, but the grief on her face was impossible to disguise.
Otherwise, she was now impossible to recognize.

“Yet another one suddenly appearing out of nowhere.
How many is that altogether?” Miao felt numb when he spotted her.
Just like the newcomer, Yuying had also come out of nowhere.
In fact, there had also been four other guys, but they were dead now.

……

Lu Yun handed the Panorama back to Yuying as they raced forward, tracking Formation Thirteenth.

“Why did Qing Han’s condition deteriorate so suddenly? He was fine not long ago,” he suddenly wondered, half talking to himself and half asking Yuying’s opinion.
“Could it be related to that girl?”

The possibility suddenly struck him, but he immediately rejected the notion.
How could the two of them be connected?

Where did she come from? Who is she, and why did she save me? Numerous thoughts swarmed in his mind.
Qing Hang, the young girl….
No matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to associate her beautiful face with the swarthy Qing Han.

Formation Thirteenth hadn’t gone far yet.
The thick energy of death pervading the burial mound made it all the easier for Lu Yun’s Spectral Eye to follow the trail of living energy left behind by the man.

In a nearby tunnel, the imposter formation master had begun engraving a new formation.
Lu Yun recognized it with ease, given that he’d assimilated Yuying’s memories.
It was another means of random transportation.

Transportation usually involved transmission between a starting point and an endpoint.
But with no destination formation available, random transportation was the only method for ’Formation Thirteenth ’ to leave the burial mound.

“Hm?” Suddenly noticing the newcomers, he frowned.
“Governor of Dusk, that monster didn’t eat you?”

The imposter knew of Lu Yun’s identity thanks to assimilating the formation master’s memories, and the sight of the governor having successfully tailed him had caught him by surprise.

“Seize him!”

Yuying nodded.
She unfurled the Panorama and let loose her seven swords and Emerald Mistfire on ’Formation Thirteenth ’.

“The Panorama of Clarity!” ‘Formation Thirteenth’ stared at the painting, avarice gleaming in his eyes.
He laughed heartily.
“Great! Wonderful.
Fantastic! Who would’ve thought I’d be able to obtain it before returning to the sect.
This will be a contribution big enough to erase my previous failures!”

He’d been too preoccupied by the titanic undead hag to take note of Yuying, but she now held his undivided attention.
The Panorama of Clarity, Portrait of Emptiness, and Profile of Harmony were utmost treasures that his sect had long dreamed of possessing.
One of his objectives in entering the burial mound had precisely been Feinie’s Portrait.

With a hand seal, he unveiled the full force of a true immortal.
His own power was even greater, but this was all he could muster while limited by Formation Thirteenth’s body.

Boom—

An explosion sounded from the formation master’s body as an enormous eagle with golden wings materialized over his head to dive at Yuying.

“The Great Peng Spirit! He’s from the Immortal Exalted Sect alright!” Hatred flashed in Yuying’s eyes.
It’d been the machinations of this sect that’d led to her death to her heavenly tribulation.
Now that ‘Formation Thirteenth’ had used a signature combat art of the sect, she immediately saw red.

Her seven swords whistled through the air in seven rainbow streaks and assembled into a sword formation, unrelentingly churning at the Great Peng Spirit.
The impact instantly shattered the image.

“What?!” ’Formation Thirteenth ’ flinched.
Who would’ve thought this woman’s blades would be this sharp! Although a millennia spent inside the tomb had whittled away at the Great Peng Spirit’s strength, it was still a bonafide august immortal spirit!

In comparison, the woman was merely a true immortal.
A true immortal’s weapons destroying an august immortal spirit? No one would believe it if word of this got out.

Yuying was a genius from twelve hundred years ago.
On top of refining pills, her strength was also uncommon.
How else could she have held the position of Dusk Province’s governor? Moreover, becoming Lu Yun’s envoy had enhanced her abilities.

“I have to run!” After having been trapped inside the burial mound for so long, the august immortal had no other aces left up his sleeve besides his strong spirit and mental will.
And the destruction of his bird spirit had left him too afraid to face Yuying head on.

His arms exploded without another word, releasing a highly intense scarlet light.
His entire being turned into a blood shadow and vanished from sight in the blink of an eye.

“Do you think I’ll let you get away?” A cold sneer appeared on Yuying’s lips.

The last time, she’d let a member of the Immortal Exalted Sect escape from her own tomb in a moment of distraction.
She’d taken the lesson to heart, and it would never happen again.
The Panorama of Clarity drew a scene of mountains and rivers that enclosed the surrounding space.

In his panic, ’Formation Thirteenth ’ rushed headlong into the painting.
