Immortal Tomb Chapter 12

XuanHuan

"Damn it."

The facial expressions of the eight changed substantially. But they reacted with an adjustment of position and grouped into a tactical deployment the moment the green fire was befalling.

In an instant, the light of blood color blocked out the blazing fire.

"Yeah?"

There was a slight change in Yu Ying's facial expression. "What is this? Why is it able to fend my Roaming Fire. No wonder they can enter the ancient tomb without being noticed."

Inside the palm of Yu Ying slowly unfolded the Mountain River Spirit Pill Recipe.

The shrine seemed to be covered by a vast of faint lights.

"The Mountain River Spirit Pill Recipe. So it really is."

A man in black murmured, with appalled facial expressions.

"Yu Ying wasn't dead. She wasn't dead in the predestined doom a thousand years ago. She has been curing herself in this ancient tomb instead."

"This is the power of the immortal."

The next moment, with the support of the Mountain River Spirit Pill Recipe, the Roaming Fire was further enhanced and became larger very quickly. The light of blood color was dispersed right away.

"Please forgive me, my senior fellow apprentices."

Suddenly, a man in black cried out a short yet weird syllable.

"Lao Nuo, what you doing?"

The voices of the other seven changed.

It was at this moment that the man in black who was called Lao Nuo exercised the spell of soul sacrifice.

He would take the other seven as the sacrifice.

Boom.

A tremendous sound was heard from the ancient tomb.

The bodies of the seven men in black were blew off and became seven clusters of fire, aiding Lao Nuo.

The power in consideration for the sacrifice of the seven immortality pursuer at the God-Like Level was infinitely close to that of an immortal.

It was a narrow escape of Yu Ying as her Roaming Fire was broken through in an instant.

"You bastard."

Yu Ying went into rage, "How bold you are to cast spell of soul sacrifice."

With a dithering of hand, seven swords flew from the Mountain River Pill Recipe and went after Lao Nuo.

"Yu Ying, wait and see revenge of the Forerunners of Heavenly Immortals."

There was a shrill cry heard from Lao Nuo's mouth. His body blew off instantly, with thick blood and Qi wrapping his vital spirits. It rushed out of the coffin chamber, with no trace left.

The seven swords of Yu Ying followed.

In the Void, there seemed to be a short shrill cry again.

"Yu Ying, my vital spirits have been destroyed by you. It's you or me who could live under the sky."

... ...

There was a trace of blood on the mouth corner of Yu Ying.

"My master, forgive me for letting one soul flee away."

Yu Ying landed, getting down on one knee, "I'm willing to receive my punishment."

Lu Yun crawled out of the stone coffin, staring at Yu Ying with amazement.

The fight lasted for not more than a dozens of breaths, only bringing a tremendous impact to Lu Yun.

He saw the fight between Wanfeng and Ge Long as well as the defence of Wanfeng against the living dead flies, but either of them could match with the battle moments ago.

Magic competition between immortals.

Any moment was a matter of life and death.

"I can be someone like Yu Ying. An immortal."

Gradually, the face of Lu Yun was overwhelmed with joyful excitement.

"You get up."

Lu Yun took a long long breath, "You've done it well."

"Oh, right. What other treasures you've got in this tomb?"

Lu Yun hurried to ask the question as he thought of his intention by going down the tomb.

"My master, the tomb was one that buried an immortal who was engaged in the Clash of Immortals a hundred thousand years ago. Although I was buried here by Tian Yazi, I know nothing in this tomb."

Yu Ying stood on her feet, saying with disappointment.

It could been seen in Lu Yun's face too. But the next moment he thought of it differently.

The biggest treasure in this tomb was the amazing girl, wasn't it?

Yu Ying, the Pill Fiary.

"Yu Ying, are you capable of making Nine-Openings Golden Pill?"

Lu Yun said with great expectations.

"Sure."

Nodded Yu Ying.

"Great."

Cried out Lu Yun with excitement.

"My master, the Nine-Openings Golden Pill is used to open potentials of those who could not pursue immortality. What do you want it for?"

Yu Ying asked in confusion.

"Well,"

Lu Yun blinked his eyes, "Right, I am an immortality pursuer now."

That Lu Yun had this connection with Yu Ying, took her as the envoy of samsara, activated the Heavenly Book of Life and Death meant way much for even a blessed body.

"Even so, I still want the Nine-Openings Golden Pill and in a big way. Otherwise it would arouse questions on how the blessed body could turn one into an immortality pursuer."

Although Lu Yun was new in the land of immortality, he had the worldly wisdom.

Magistrate of Xuanzhou was a position envied by so many people out there. It would be fiercely competed for in a half year when Lu Yun came down. Undeveloped as Xuanzhou was, the magistrate of it was one of the masters under the Langya welkin, with great powers.

Now that Lu Yun became the immortality pursuer and had a loyal and capable servant, Yu Ying, he would not come down from the position.

Once he gave up the position of magistrate of Xuanzhou, he knew it meant his death. Those who were once the enemies of the Lu's would turn against him and seek revenge overwhelmingly.

"Oh, Yu Ying, what level of cultivation do you have?"

Asked Lu Yun.

"My master, I've been immortal. But given that I'm just reborn, I didn't recover all my strengths. I am now a cultivator at Vital Pill Level."

Answered Yu Ying.

"So you are an immortal, aren't you?"

There was brightness in his eyes, measuring Yu Ying up and down.

She was really a fairy. A fairy with a cold yet beautiful face and calling him her master.

Lu Yun's heart felt warmth.

"I can give it to you if you want."

As she said, she took off the white dress, exposing her excellent body before Lu Yun.

"No. No. No. Put your dress on."

Said Lu Yun in a hurry.

"Aye."

So did Yu Ying.

Lu Yun swallowed his saliva, as if thirsty.

"Think about that I've been long stricken with the cold and killing air from the Nine-Dragon Lifting Coffin. If we do it right now, I would die of exhaustion even I have the desire and capability."

Lu Yun's head was streaming with cold sweat.

An immortality pursuer as he was, his body was still too weak and required recuperation.

... ...

Wanfeng went directly into his arms the instant she saw Lu Yun, crying heavily.

She cried and cried, falling asleep in the arms of Lu Yun.

"Tian Yazi, alas."

Yu Ying saw the boudoir before the main chamber, giving a gentle sigh.

Then she waved her hand, letting the painting on the wall burn slowly into ashes.

Lu Yun did not say a word. The burning of the painting meant the farewell to the past.

The reborn Yu Ying was but the envoy of samsara of Lu yUN.

"Let's get out of here."

Lu Yun held Wanfeng in his arms and walked step by step to the exit in the direction he came.

He was followed by Yu Ying, in her graceful dress. She looked at Wanfeng in Lu Yun's arms, wishing the same for herself.

... ...

"Hey——"

"My delicious. Stay where you are and take my strike, Flying Head."

"Ouch, my teeth. My delicious, your face is really stiffened."

In the coffin chamber with the pill furnace in it, Ge Long was still vigorously engaged with the thousand-year-old zombie.

The living dead flies were flying and biting Ge Long.

There were so many holes in Ge Long, with dense living dead flies coming in and out of the holes. Quite disgusting and terrifying indeed.

But Ge Long seemed to be ignoring this. His mouth gripped on the thousand-year-old zombie, swallowing the cold and killing Qi into his stomach.

"Um, is he also the envoy of you, my master?"

Yu Ying looked at Ge Long, asked in confusion.

"I don't know. His name was on the Heavenly Book of Life and Death. However, he was not an envoy of samsara."

Lu Yun gave a bitter smile.

He still had no idea who Ge Long was.

But given that the Ge Long was written on the Heavenly Book of Life and Death, it followed that he was the servant to Lu Yun for sure.

"Ha."

Yu Ying frowned a little and yelled out. The green fire instantly burned the zombie as well as the surrounding living dead flies down to ground.

The most terrifying thousand-year-old zombie for Lu Yun was not even able to resist.

Ge Long sat down on the ground, picking up his head, fixing it on the neck and gasping.

"Girl. You ruined my delicious food, and almost burned my head."

Ge Long looked at Yu Ying and said in grievance.

"If it won't bother you by disintegrating your teeth."

Yu Ying puffed hard, "The monster is yet to fully wake up due to long sleep. Should it come back to life, it would have had a cultivation of Life Pill level. You can't eat it with all that you've got."

Yu Ying would have neglected him if his name was not on the Heavenly Book of Life and Death.

Ge Long gave a shiver, shrinking his head subconsciously.

But now, his head looked normal, maybe because he swallowed the cold and killing Qi. At least the hole between the eyebrows was gone.

"You own the pill furnace?"

Lu Yun held Wanfeng, looked at the furnace and asked.

"Nope."

Yu Ying shook her head. "The furnace should be the remainder of the buried immortal in this tomb. "

The tomb once buried an immortal who was engaged in the Clash of Immortals a hundred thousand years ago. It was over a thousand years ago that Tian Tianzi buried Yu Ying who failed to sustain the predestined doom.

"Valuable?"

Lu Yun's eyes brightened.

"It should be so as it is an antique."

Replied Yu Ying in a serious manner.

"So take it."

There was still brightness in his eyes.

Yu Ying waved her hands to exercise the spell of magic hat to take away the pill furnace.

... ...

It was deep night when the group of people walked out of the ancient tomb.

The stars and the moon were reflecting light above the sky.

Wanfeng woke up once in the mid-way and was lulled to sleep by Lu Yun. The girl was too exhausted after all that happened in the ancient tomb, both mentally and physically.

"My master, it's tiresome for you to do so. Let me hold Wanfeng on your behalf."

Ge Long came up towards them, suggesting.

"Beat it."

Lu Yun kicked him off with one foot.

"It's really strange."

Lu Yun looked up and showed a trace of confusion.

"The distribution of stars here is very similar to that on earth. In spite of some differences, it does look familiar on the whole."

"There are tales of land of immortality on earth. Could it refer to that on the earthly tales?"

Still, Lu Yun could tell that the moon on the land of immortality was never the same with that on earth.

The group came to the city gate of Xuanzhou without even knowing it.

"Who's coming?"

There was a shout from above the city wall.

"Me."

"Magistrate of Xuanzhou,"replied Lu Yun, standing in front of the gate.

"Oh, it's Magistrate."

Monsignor Ying, who Lu Yun met in the daytime, showed up, "Please return to where you come. It's a critical time period. We're not allowed to open the city gate in the evening."
