An old man who wore a long green robe was riding a goat that was almost equivalent to an elephant in size. He came from afar and rushed to the Tomb Forest’s entrance.
He had a very impressive winning streak in sword fighting duels. He was a lord of influential families of saints and was now 400 years old. He was very famous throughout East Region.
However, the old man was attacked by a peculiar force at the entrance and was pushed backwards. He did not manage to get past into the Tomb Forest.
Seeing this happen, those who planned to go in immediately stopped.

What happened?



The power of Tomb Forest was supposed to prevent the dead souls from getting out but why was it different now? In fact, the force was stopping the mortals from getting in.
…
Zhang Ruochen and Han Xue also stopped and hid somewhere near the entrance of the Tomb Forest without anyone else knowing.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the old man on the goat and recognized him immediately. He said softly,
This person must be the clan lord of the Tao Saint Clan.


Tao Saint Clan was one of the saint clans in the Fallen-Gods Mountain Range and had thousands of years of history. This incident alerted them and it is not surprising for the clan lord to be here.

Han Xue asked,
Master, what is the clan lord doing here?


This place was named Tomb Forest and was a relic area. It was a dangerous place in the past where no one could escape from once they entered.


But now,
he continued,
the dead souls that were here all went out to attack Yin and Yang Sect. Therefore, it is less dangerous compared to before. There must be some treasures hidden in this Tomb Forest and that’s why they are here. The clan lord has only a few years of life left and thus, this might be the reason why he is here; to find a chance to live longer.

The clan lord emitted a strong Holy Qi and his gray hair was blowing in it, as if thousands of knives and swords floated around him. The sword-like hairs hit each other, resonating a high pitched sound.

I have been living for four hundred and eleven years. As a super saint, I don’t believe I can’t break the layer of Ghost King’s shield. The ghost kings inside the Tomb Forest never wanted the outsiders to enter. This means that there must be holy medicine that can allow people to be resurrected from the dead.



The clan lord opened his Holy Eyes wide and used rules of saintly way to strike his palm into empty air.
In front of the clan lord, a layer of black light showed up, creating a barrier connecting the sky and the ground and preventing the clan lord from entering.
Where the force of his palm hit, the black light sank in and formed a fast moving swirl.

Holy medicine that can resurrect dead people?

Zhang Ruochen was totally surprised when he heard the clan lord’s words.
In Kunlun’s field, there were always rumours about a
Resurrection Potion
and
Elixir of Life.
However, even when the Gods were still around, these medicines were very limited and only found on rare occasions. Every single time when it was said to be found, no one actually saw it. It was just a rumour.
How did the clan lord know that these medicines were in the Tomb Forest?
At this moment, a shadow rushed in front of the black light, taking advantage of the chaos created. It walked forward and managed to enter it. It then disappeared.
Then, seeing the first shadow go through the black light, a few other shadows followed suit, entering the Tomb Forest in the same manner.
One of them passed on the message,
The shield of the ghost king is now weak after the attack. Even those below the level of saints can enter.



After hearing the message, all the half-saints and fish-dragon monks used their skills and rushed towards the black light.
Zhang Ruochen and Han Xue also passed through the black light at the very first moment and entered the Tomb Forest.
A scream came from the back and echoed throughout the whole area.
The next second, the black soil turned blood red. Zhang Ruochen glanced back at the ground and saw the clan lord left lying there. He was dead, killed by the forceful hurl the beautiful ghost king in red robe had motioned with her palm.
Her eyes was icy cold and merciless. Her long fingers slipped into the clan lord’s skull and pulled out his saint soul.
The Lord of Tao Saint Clan lay there still and silent.
The ghost king lady clapped her hands together and started conjuring ghost fire. The saint soul was refined into a pearly white pill, which she then picked up with her slender fingers and swallowed.
Each of her movements was elegant and airy, so beautiful that it masked her cruelty.

A clan lord was killed in seconds just like that. Even his saint soul was sucked out,
muttered Zhang Ruochen.
His scalp tightened and his heart beat faster against his ribs.


The clan lord was a saint who had lived for hundreds of years. His strength was much greater than Zhang Ruochen’s. However, even he had died brutally before even entering the Tomb Forest. How could others not feel afraid?
Suddenly, the beautiful ghost king turned and looked into the Tomb Forest. Two light beams like sharp knives shot from her eyes towards Zhang Ruochen and another direction.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen could sense the danger and was drenched in sweat. Quickly, he grabbed Han Xue and dodged the attacked with his Spatial Move technique.
Bam!
The other light beam shot towards an immortal vampire half-saint and killed him. He evaporated into a mist of blood.
Zhang Ruochen quickly rushed towards the mist of blood and collected the Half-Saint Light into his Ruyi Treasure Bottle. He then quickly continued moving forward deep into the forest.
Because of the presence of Ghost King’s shield, she didn’t notice the spatial move.
She sighed. She must have not expected that a young human could dodge her attack.

Wuchang Haochuan,
she said.
Then, a black ghost Qi rushed out from the ghost spirits and formed a human body. He wore a black robe and rode on a beast that looked like a crocodile. He stopped in front of the beautiful ghost king.



Ghost king.

Wuchang Haochuan got down from the beast and knelt on one knee in front of the beautiful ghost king.
The beautiful ghost king ordered,
Bring ten wuchangs with you and head over to the netherworld. You must kill all the intruders who broke in earlier, be they humans or beasts.


Yes, Your Highness.

Wuchang Haochuan got back onto the beast and chose ten wuchangs to go with him. They entered the Tomb Forest and started to pursue Zhang Ruochen and the others.
Goldscale Lion continued attacking the ghost king lady. Their battle caused much destruction to the surroundings area.
At the same time, several monks took advantage of their battle and entered the Tomb Forest too.
It was not safe to be in the Tomb Forest. Many dead soul armies came and attacked the living once they found them.
A group of the dead souls found and attacked Zhang Ruochen and Han Xue.

Disaster for Divine Dragons.

Zhang Ruochen condensed the power onto his palm. Lightning streaked from his arm and blasted the sixth attack of the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm. The enemies in front of him were shattered into pieces.
Han Xue also used the Void Sword. The sword Qi that was released as she wielded the sword destroyed the rest of the remaining enemies.
Somewhere nearby, there was a group of dead souls attacking a young man who stood beside a tombstone.
This young man was thin and tall, his complexion rather sallow. He was wearing a yellow robe and cloak covering his head. He remained calm while facing the attack from hundreds of dead souls.

Hell Fire.

There was a yellow rune scroll in between his fingers. When it fell onto the ground, the scroll exploded and fire burned all around the area.
The dead souls were all burned and disintegrated into fog.

That was a powerful paper,
said Han Xue while staring at the young man.

That was not paper, it was a rune scroll.

Zhang Ruochen also said,
In East Region, monks that practice runes are very rare. However, some families in Central Region practice rune techniques. The people who master these skills are called rune masters.

The young man moved his ears slightly as if he heard the conversation between Zhang Ruochen and Han Xue. He glanced at them and adopted a defensive posture.
Then, he quickly moved and remained a distance away from them.
From behind, a cold wind blew quickly and caused a sandstorm in the Tomb Forest.

Whoever breaks into the Tomb Forest shall be killed with no mercy!
a gloomy voice shrieked from the cold wind.
Zhang Ruochen glanced backwards and saw a real physical man in a black robe riding on a large beast, chasing after them.
The beast’s length was around 10 meters and it looked like a large black lizard with two glowing red eyes. Its speed was even faster than most of the half-saints.
The black robed guy was the Wuchang Haochuan summoned by the beautiful ghost king.
Behind him, there were ten other wuchangs who were running in other directions to hunt down the other intruders.

Run!

Zhang Ruochen felt something wasn’t right and quickly grabbed Han Xue’s arm. He used the power of Shooting Star Invisible Cloak as he ran forward.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen’s strength was comparable to a level two half-saint. He already moved with very impressive speed.
With the power of the cloak, his speed was multiplied and even a level seven half-saint couldn’t match him.
Wuchang Haochuan also chased the young man that they had seen earlier.
He quickly took out two green runes and stuck them on his legs.

Wind and Fire Infinition!

Then, his legs released a strong wind fire Qi and the Qi condensed into a fiery swirl. It was as if his legs were riding on a green fire wheel.
His speed wasn’t any slower than Zhang Ruochen’s.
