Dragon King Hall's Legend-Chapter 1718: Specter Beneath the Cliff! Another Encounter with Qingli, Goddess of the War Clan!

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

The wind roared fiercely, piercingly cold. Mu Jinyu struggled in midair to adjust his posture, lest his head crash into the ground upon landing!

Although he had cultivated with the "Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture," tempering his physique decently, it only covered tempering the Qi-blood and the physical body, not the bones. Currently, he was cultivating the "Bone Tempering Section," yet it included only the limbs, not the spine or skull!

If he accidentally fell off the cliff, which was several tens of thousands of meters high, and then hit his head upon landing, without his cultivation, Mu Jinyu couldn't guarantee he wouldn't die!

He thought that even if his head cracked, and his physical body perished, his soul could escape. However, the bottom of this cliff had a suppressive effect on cultivation and the soul. He couldn't guarantee his ability to escape his body and flee this place for soul seizing.

Therefore, Mu Jinyu dared not gamble recklessly and could only do his best to avoid a fatal fall!

"Woo woo..."

"Jie jie jie..."

As he slowly descended from the cliff, faint cries and howls echoed around Mu Jinyu.

In his dim vision, blurry ghost shadows flitted past as if he hadn't reached the cliff's bottom but ventured into the Nine Serene Hell!

"Swish!"

Suddenly, a rock fragment flew from the cliff face, emitting an unstoppable sharpness, slicing towards Mu Jinyu and tearing his shoulder, causing a torrent of blood to gush out.

"Woo woo woo woo..."

As Mu Jinyu got injured, the cries and howls around him grew louder. Countless visible ghost shadows swarmed towards Mu Jinyu like sharks attracted by the smell of blood!

"Damn!"

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu couldn't help but curse.

The troubles just kept coming one after another. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He hadn't even reached the ground yet, and here came the cliff's ghostly beings!

The worst part was his cultivation was suppressed now, making it impossible to draw out the firewood knife or other divine weapons to deal with these strange ghost shadows, which was utterly frustrating!

"Boom!!"

Just as Mu Jinyu was unsure of how to fend off these evil ghosts, suddenly, as they approached, his shoulder wound burst with dazzling blood light, turning the entire rock face scarlet and the encompassing black ghost mist crimson.

"Poof poof poof!!"

As Mu Jinyu's entire body burst into an intense blood light, the countless ghost shadows lunging at him were instantly incinerated like cotton meeting blazing fire, reducing them to ashes!

"Huh?!"

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu was taken aback.

He didn't expect his blood could ward off evil!

Right, he had long tempered his blood to be intensely fierce with the Blood Tempering Chapter. How could some malicious things come close?

Thinking of this, Mu Jinyu felt significantly reassured.

This was good; at least in this daunting place full of ghost shadows, he had more assurance.

"Whoosh..."

Time unknown passed.

With a "bang," Mu Jinyu finally smashed heavily on the ground, feeling sharp pain coursing through his body as if all his bones were about to explode!

This pain was no less than being struck mid-air down the cliff by the mighty blow from a powerful foreign race earlier!

"Ugh..."

Lying on the ground, Mu Jinyu panted heavily, spitting out copious blood foam, eyes brimming with bloodshot lines.

"Damn, if I can't find the Earth Emperor's Tome down here, today would be a total loss! Endured all this suffering for nothing!"

After a long time, Mu Jinyu finally endured the immense pain, breathing softly to himself.

Then, struggling, he stood up from the ground and began resetting his bones, emitting a continuous crackling sound until he could walk normally.

"What is this place?"

As the pain subsided, Mu Jinyu finally had the mind to scrutinize the environment at the cliff base, finding a dimly lit area with white powder underfoot instead of muddy ground.

Examining closely, Mu Jinyu realized it wasn't flour or any random powder but bone ash!

"What on earth is this? Why is there so much bone ash?"

Mu Jinyu frowned, puzzled.

This place originally was a sealed-off ruin in the Secret Realm with no animal or creature presence. Even over countless years, how could so many bones and ashes accumulate?

Could it be that when the relic was first formed, this cliff already had these bone ashes present?

How many people died back then?

No, wait...

Not necessarily people!

Kneeling down, Mu Jinyu grabbed a handful of ash and rubbed it, discovering it wasn't from a single species but a mix of many bones.

"Unfortunately, I haven't killed too many foreign races, so I can't tell if the ashes belonged to them!"

Tossing the bone ash aside, Mu Jinyu dusted his hands, speaking with slight regret.

Now, he could roughly conclude this cliff was where, long ago, the Earth Emperor disposed of foreign race corpses.

This wasn't any ordinary place, and no wonder the Earth Emperor's Tome ended up here!

"Woo..."

"Jie jie jie..."

Specters flickered before him, chilling and eerie laughter occasionally resonating, exuding tremendous pressure.

It wasn't clear if these shadows belonged to the Ghost Clan!

However, Mu Jinyu was not overly frightened. After all, his intense Qi-blood had just incinerated attacking ghost shadows, and he still had the Human Emperor Bone Qi within, ensuring he wouldn't perish here.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Mu Jinyu kicked into motion, starting the search for the Earth Emperor's Tome.

Hours later.

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!"

Ghost shadows attacked, and Mu Jinyu threw a punch, the accompanying blood light obliterating the specter.

"Clang, clang!"

"Bang!"

Up ahead, came fierce battle sounds, the continuous clash of weapons echoed.

"Foreign race? Or ghost soldiers and generals?"

During his march, Mu Jinyu spotted some corporeal ghost soldiers and generals bearing weapons capable of inflicting harm, proving far tougher than specters.

Upon hearing the commotion again, Mu Jinyu pressed forward without hesitation.

Ordinary specters proved no match, demolishable with a single punch. Finding the Earth Emperor's Tome would lead him to stronger ghost generals.

The Earth Emperor's Tome likely rested with them under their watch.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Mu Jinyu soon charged towards the battle's noise, and there he saw a woman clad in a golden battle armor, wielding an equally golden Sky-Piercer Halberd, battling against a group of dozens of ghost soldiers!

It was that powerful member of the War Clan, Qingli!

Upon spotting her figure, Mu Jinyu's pupils slightly contracted, quickly recognizing her identity.

He instinctively wanted to steer clear of her, but soon realized, here in this ghostly place, he was of the Human Race, yet his cultivation and soul were under suppression.

She was of the Foreign Tribe. Without such restraint here, what better chance to settle the score? Right here was the opportunity to avenge the thrashing he received in the Abandoned Stone Palace!
