Under the dim light of the sky, the ancient temple gates exuded an aura of age-old mystery.
Duan Yun had previously accessed similar mories when trembling over the female corpse.
Except that the palace of the temple was golden, resembling the Golden Palace spoken of in the Martial World, rather than this ancient dilapidation.
He couldn’t help but recall what the female corpse had said—"Danger! At 5 a.m., danger! Under the Golden Tree, golden leaves, and beneath the leaves, there is a shadow..."
At this ti, it seed not much different from 5 a.m.
Could there truly be a Golden Tree here, and what is the shadow beneath it?
The dead village elder’s sneak attack had interrupted his mory reading.
But it doesn’t matter; whatever is inside, he’ll know once he sees it.
Just then, a chill wind blew by, and the surrounding vines swayed like serpents, creating a ghostly atmosphere.
Even Duan Yun felt a chill down his spine.
This is the human instinct, a fear of the unknown.
This temple seed too ancient and remote, and such old, mysterious things always instill a primal fear.
Duan Yun walked into the temple.
The first thing that caught his eye was a courtyard.
In the courtyard was a Pill Furnace, approximately seven or eight stories tall.
This Pill Furnace was made of stone, covered with moss, but its height and size gave Duan Yun an uneasy sense of fear induced by giant objects.
Especially the holes on the Pill Furnace, which looked like the eyes of monstrous creatures.
This Pill Furnace was so tall that it seed only a giant over ten ters tall could use it for alchemy.
Could there really be such a ten-ter-tall person in this world?
Behind the Pill Furnace was a large hall.
The hall didn’t differ much from ordinary temple halls, making the Pill Furnace appear even more massive.
Inside the hall, a Heavenly Venerate Statue was enshrined.
The Heavenly Venerate Statue had no head, its long beard covered with vine-like snakes, resembling a serpent’s den.
Hiss, hiss...
Through the dim sky light, Duan Yun indeed saw a red snake slithering inside.
This headless Heavenly Venerate Statue had truly beco a snake’s den.
Behind the hall was an upward staircase.
Due to the dim environnt and the length of the staircase, one couldn’t see to the top at a glance.
The old stone steps had massive tree roots protruding from below, indicating that there should be a large tree nearby.
A very large tree.
Yet in this dim environnt, Duan Yun couldn’t see it right away.
In that mont, alone in such an environnt, Duan Yun felt a sense of adventure in an unknown and eerie place.
He did not stop; he continued to walk upward.
But as he walked, he suddenly lightened his steps.
If his steps had been light before, now they were like a cat’s, padded with silent footsteps.
More strangely, he was walking backwards.
In the night, a young hero who was originally striding upwards suddenly walked silently and backwards; if seen by others, they might think he was possessed or influenced by spirits.
But a young hero acts with reason.
The next mont, Duan Yun’s body suddenly arched, and he spoke towards a spot in the tree roots, "Are you hiding here to ambush ?"
Indeed, a man was nestled in the gap between the tree roots.
It was a man holding a green tallic tube, clearly a sinister hidden weapon.
This man had been hiding there, motionless and not daring to breathe heavily, knowing the terror of the approaching person.
This was the village elder’s eldest son.
He was initially going to help his father kill but couldn’t bear to watch as his father was tortured to death while urinating blood.
He didn’t dare to look any further.
This figure was an evil Demon, erging from who knows where, too sinister.
So the eldest son retreated silently and hid among the tree roots.
Seeing Duan Yun near the stairs, the village elder’s eldest son was fully tensed.
Especially hearing the sound of footsteps on the ground; it gave the illusion that a soul-ensnaring Black and White Impermanence was approaching.
Only when the footsteps faded into the distance did the eldest son’s tense mind slightly relax.
Luckily, my spot is well-hidden.
If he insists on breaking in, it would be suicidal.
No matter how powerful this evil Demon is, he cannot be a match for "that one."
Or rather, for "that one," crushing a Martial World expert was as easy as crushing a chicken.
However, just when the eldest son thought the father-killing Demon had gone far away, a face suddenly appeared in his sight.
This face was quite handso, to the point of evoking envy.
The eldest son had seen Duan Yun during the day and knew he was rely an insignificant outer disciple, which gave rise to sinister intentions, planning to cut off Duan Yun’s face and wear it as his own.
Little did he know this person was a hidden expert who just tornted his great father to death.
And he chose to hide, hide to survive.
The old man had beco less majestic as he aged and was no longer great, so it was okay for him to die. But he was still young and had to inherit the village leadership and continue to be great; he couldn’t die.
But people who fear death the most often encounter unexpected events.
Such as this face suddenly intruding, accompanied by, "Are you hiding here to ambush ?" The eldest son felt his soul practically leaping out of his body.
"Ah!"
As he saw Duan Yun about to co inside, the eldest son involuntarily cried out and pulled the trigger on the chanism.
This tallic tube nad "Ten Death Bone Piercing Nails" was crafted by the weapon master Ouyezhi.
