Chapter 12718 The real reason for guarding the cemetery
In the center of the cemetery, there is a huge altar, with the remains of powerful men placed on the altar.
Although these remains have lost their vitality, they still exude a powerful pressure that makes people dare not look directly at them.
There are various mysterious magical instruments and elixirs placed around the altar. They emit a faint light and complement the remains on the altar, forming a strange and spectacular picture.
"Your task is very simple, just clean these tombstones every day. The rest of the time is up to you." Liu Yu stood at the entrance of the cemetery, with a bit of worry in his eyes. After all, there is a lot of yin in this cemetery, even for someone like him.
Even if you practice cultivation, you will feel uncomfortable entering it.
Ling Xiao smiled at Liu Yu, expressed his gratitude, and then stepped into the cemetery without hesitation. When Liu Yu saw this, he shook his head and turned to leave, but he was sweating for Ling Xiao in his heart.
As for why Ling Xiao left and came back, there is an unknown reason.
When he was about to leave the Tianxiahui, an ancient and time-worn voice sounded in his magic needle space. That was the voice of the Demon Soul King, a presence he had never met but was of vital importance at this moment.
The Demon Soul King told him that this cemetery contains the secret to opening the Demon Soul Sect. The Yin Demon Qi here is highly poisonous to others, but it is an excellent resource for demon cultivators to practice. In
The effects of practicing here are far better than those in the Lower Courtyard.
Ling Xiao has always been unwilling to do anything without benefits, so he will not let go of such benefits. He knows in his heart that if he can open the Demon Soul Sect and let the clone of the Demon Soul King appear, his strength will be greatly improved.
.He will also be more confident to face future dangers.
Moreover, the cultivation conditions here are so superior, it is estimated that he will be able to break through to the Eternal Realm soon. This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Ling Xiao. He has always had a headache to improve his cultivation, and now
Given such an opportunity, he would naturally not let it go.
Ever since, Ling Xiao started to practice crazily. As for the tombstone, whoever wants to clean it is none of his business. He came here purely to practice, not to be punished.
Anyway, no one dares to come in here easily, so what if he is lazy?
Time flies, and a month flies by. During this month, Ling Xiao almost forgets to sleep and eat, constantly absorbing the evil spirit in the cemetery and practicing his own magic skills.
Finally, he sensed the existence of the Demon Soul King, and the road leading to the Demon Soul Sect gradually became clear. Ling Xiao was very excited. He knew that if he was given another month, the Demon Soul Sect would appear.
.
What excites him the most is that the breakthrough he has been waiting for has finally arrived. After a month of crazy training, his cultivation has been directly upgraded from the Hunyuan Realm to the Endless Realm, and he has reached the third level of the Endless Realm in one fell swoop.
This huge improvement made Ling Xiao extremely excited. He knew that this was mainly due to the huge energy he had accumulated before. Now, his cultivation level is strong enough. He can also do this against the strong men of the third level of Hunyuan Realm.
When it comes to crushing, facing the fourth level of Hunyuan Realm, it is very possible to win.
Such an improvement is undoubtedly a huge leap for Ling Xiao. He feels that his strength has been greatly enhanced, and he is full of confidence in future challenges.
However, just when Ling Xiao was immersed in the joy of his breakthrough in cultivation, the cemetery suddenly welcomed an uninvited guest. This place had always been dark and dark, and ordinary people were afraid to avoid it, but at this moment, four figures quietly appeared.
They were a group of four, three young men and a beautiful woman. The men were all tall and tall, with extraordinary temperament.
However, Ling Xiao was not interested in the three followers at all, and his eyes fell on the white lotus-like woman.
Her skin is like snow, her eyes are like water, and her appearance is absolutely beautiful, like a blooming white lotus, elegant and refined. Her temperament is even more unique, with both the gentleness of a woman and a touch of heroism, which makes people look at her at a glance.
Once you go, it will be unforgettable.
However, Ling Xiao could tell at a glance that this kind of woman was very good at pretending.
"Who dares to trespass into the cemetery!" Ling Xiao felt strange when he saw someone intruding, but he still walked over. With a movement of his body, he stood in front of the four people and shouted in a deep voice.
Although Ling Xiao is just hanging around here, he still has the responsibility to protect the cemetery, and he still has to do face-saving work.
The white lotus-like woman took out an exquisite waist badge from her waist and said softly: "My name is Bai Lian, and I am a disciple of the Upper Court. This time, I was ordered by the Upper Court to come here to check the situation of the cemetery." Her voice sounded.
It was crisp and sweet, but there was a hint of unquestionable majesty in the tone.
When Ling Xiao heard this, he was slightly startled, and then he glanced at the waist badge. He didn't know the overall strength of the disciples in the upper courtyard, but the four people in front of him, judging from their auras alone, were obviously no match for him.
The disciples of the Upper House are somewhat disappointing.
"Whose order are you following?" Ling Xiao asked lightly. He didn't pay attention to these four losers at all. He asked this purely because he wanted to find out more information from the other party's answer.
.
However, Bai Lian did not answer his question directly. Instead, she glanced at him coldly and said, "This is not something you should know!" There was a hint of dissatisfaction and contempt in her voice, just like Ling Xiao's question.
Violated her taboo.
At this time, a young disciple suddenly interjected: "Senior Sister Bai Lian, this guy has never cleaned the tombstones at all. Look at those tombstones, they are covered with fallen leaves. This guy is slacking off and must be severely punished!" He pointed to the tombstones in the cemetery.
, loudly accusing Ling Xiao.
When Ling Xiao heard this, he frowned. He did not clean the tombstone as Liu Yu asked, but this does not mean that he failed to fulfill his responsibility to protect the cemetery.
He practices here every day and uses the evil spirit to improve his cultivation. This is the most important thing to him. As for trivial matters such as cleaning tombstones, he really has no intention to care about them.
"Should you give me an explanation?" Bai Lian looked at Ling Xiao coldly and said.
"A dog is meddling with a mouse! Explain to you? Who do you think you are!" Ling Xiao glanced at Bai Lian and the others coldly, his voice full of disdain, "I am the guardian of the cemetery. Here, I
Biggest. Don’t call you losers. Even if the big bosses from the upper house come, don’t even think about changing anything."
His words were sonorous and powerful, as if he was declaring his sovereignty.
For him, there is only one purpose for staying in Tianxiahui, and that is this cemetery. He ignores everything else. Therefore, he is not afraid of offending anyone, including Bai Lian and the disciples of the upper court in front of him.
"you wanna die!"
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, a young warrior instantly became furious. He roared angrily and rushed towards Ling Xiao like lightning. The long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, obviously wanting to teach Ling Xiao a lesson.
