Li Rui looked at Old Monster, somewhat unable to understand what he was thinking. What had they experienced back then?
Old Monster stared at the corpses for a long time, and Li Rui did not disturb him.
Until he left on his own.
"Let's go. Perhaps what you want is right here!"
Suddenly, something moved in the pile of skeletons. The two turned their heads almost simultaneously, but the pile of skeletons had returned to silence.
They exchanged glances, understanding that what just happened was definitely not an illusion.
Holding their breath, they watched as the skeletons slowly stood up from the ground.
Li Rui gasped, looking at the surroundings; all the skeletons scattered around were standing up.
"Senior, what is going on?"
Li Rui looked at the skeletons, clearly recognizing them as people who had died many years ago; they were not some mechanism or illusion.
"I don't know."
Old Monster knew very well that those were the corpses of the people who had entered with them back then, but he did not know why this was happening.
The skeletons, devoid of any flesh and blood, began to surround the two.
As Li Rui saw the skeletons getting closer, he gripped his staff and prepared to attack.
However, Old Monster did not move. With so many skeletons, their strength was not to be underestimated, making it somewhat difficult for Li Rui to handle.
"Hey, Senior, what are you doing!"
"Li Rui's" loud shout finally caught "Old Monster's" attention.
"Old Monster" looked at the "Skeletons" in the "Surroundings," steeling himself. Despite being former comrades, this was a life-and-death moment, and he couldn't afford to be sentimental.
With a grim expression, "Old Monster's" white robe billowed in the wind, and powerful "True Qi" spread throughout the space.
"Bang!"
The "Skeletons" in the "Surroundings" were instantly blown away.
"Li Rui" was astonished; he didn't expect that would directly take care of those "Skeletons."
He began to doubt "Old Monster's" strength once again.
"Thank you, Senior."
"No problem, let's go!"
Just as the two turned around, the "Skeletons" behind them revived again.
"Damn, this is really creepy!"
"Li Rui" couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. What on earth were these things? Why did they revive as soon as they arrived?
"Old Monster" simply waved his sleeve, and they instantly turned to ashes.
"Li Rui" was shocked. What level of power did this "Old Monster" possess?
However, unexpectedly, after they had taken just a few steps, those "Skeletons" revived once more.
Old Monster frowned and said, "No, there must be something manipulating them from the shadows."
"Besides Demon Beast, could there be other living beings here?"
Li Rui didn't understand. How could there possibly be anything else that could control these Skeletons?
However, he was wrong.
"Jie jie jie! Young one, foolish Human!"
At that moment, a voice suddenly echoed in the air, coming from an unknown source.
The voice was eerie and instilled a sense of fear.
Li Rui looked around but saw no one.
"Senior, what is this thing?"
"I don't know either."
Old Monster knew well that there were too many variables inside the Azure Dragon Tomb. He had never encountered such strange occurrences before.
For a moment, dark clouds filled the underground space.
Tattered cloth barely covered its body, the skeleton had not a drop of blood or flesh left, and black mist swirled around it. Its bony claws gripped a pitch-black great sword.
It slowly stepped into the view of Li Rui and Old Monster.
"It seems the one causing trouble in the shadows is you."
Looking at the approaching Skullhead, Old Monster calmly said.
"Has the Skeleton become sentient?"
This was the first thought that crossed Li Rui's mind!
"Ah hahahaha, foolish young one, kneel before me!"
The voice was eerie and arrogant. Li Rui looked at Skullhead and, with Old Monster present, truly wondered who had given him such arrogance.
However, Li Rui was mistaken; at this moment, Old Monster was also feeling quite apprehensive.
If he wasn't mistaken, this person must have entered the Azure Dragon Tomb before him and then died as a Senior.
For some reason, resentment had caused his Remains to come back to life. Since he could control so many dead individuals, his strength should not be underestimated.
"May I ask for your esteemed name, Senior?"
Old Monster bowed slightly to Skeleton and then inquired.
"I am Ling Daozi!"
"What? Ling Daozi?"
Li Rui exclaimed. Ling Daozi was the Senior who had left behind the scroll; how could he...
Old Monster remained silent as he looked at Ling Daozi; this was truly a difficult situation.
"Li Rui, in a moment, I'll hold him off. You run!"
Suddenly, Old Monster spoke to Li Rui behind him.
"No, no way, I can't just leave you here. We came together, so we must leave together. If it comes to it, we can die here."
Li Rui did not expect that at such a critical moment, Old Monster would actually want to sacrifice himself to save his life.
Li Rui felt a warmth in his heart, but gratitude aside, he absolutely could not leave.
"Stop messing around. You are the Dragon Gate Candidate; you can't die here. As for me, this Old Monster should have long been buried in Azure Dragon Tomb, yet I have survived for so many years."
Old Monster glanced at the corpses in their surroundings; perhaps it was destined that he should be buried with his fellow disciples in the ancestral Azure Dragon Tomb!
"I don't understand why Ling Daozi, a virtuous and powerful figure, has ended up like this."
Li Rui couldn't comprehend it, but at the same time, he was trying to change the subject. He would not abandon Old Monster.
"This is Ling Daozi's resentment."
After hearing Old Monster's words, Li Rui finally understood. Everyone has a dark side and a bright side, and the scroll left behind naturally represented Ling Daozi's bright side, while the figure standing before them was Ling Daozi's dark side.
"Let's go. Stop dawdling."
Old Monster urged Li Rui behind him.
"No, I'm not leaving! Senior, I can't go!"
"Ha ha ha! None of you will escape today!"
As the black mist on Ling Daozi thickened, the skeleton heads in their surroundings began to close in again.
"Bang!"
Before they could fight back, Old Monster and Li Rui were already sent flying. Old Monster staggered to his feet, while Li Rui had blood at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, he finally understood the gap between them; it was like the difference between a human and an ant.
He felt so insignificant, utterly powerless to retaliate.
Old Monster turned around and glanced at Li Rui. With a firm resolve, he decided that Li Rui must leave this place.
He believed that given time, Li Rui would definitely surpass him.
Old Monster formed hand seals, drawing in the True Qi from the surroundings, which became increasingly dense, forming a vortex. With a wave of his right hand, Li Rui's body was lifted into the air.
Li Rui's eyes widened as he looked at Old Monster. "Senior, what are you doing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Rui's body was pulled into the vortex. No matter how he struggled, it was futile.
"Goodness, you actually sent him away right in front of me!"
