Chapter 153 The Conspiracy

I was in a hurry to find Hua Wuxin at the time and didn't think much about anything.

It wasn't until I returned to Liangjie Hall that I understood what Wang Butcher meant by sharing the burden.

I brushed my forehead against a few people in a row, but found no mark on anyone's head. Cold sweat immediately broke out on my forehead. Wang Butcher and the others also looked at Ye Yang, who was facing away from us.

I cautiously moved forward a few steps, shaking my hands and throwing out the Soul-Chasing Lock.

Wang Butcher stood beside me and drew her knife to guard me. The Soul-Chasing Lock in my hand slightly raised under the vibration of true qi. At that moment, I suddenly turned around and lashed the chain towards Lin Zhao, who was not far from me.

My "Soul-Striking Whip" accurately hit Lin Zhao. A ghost was separated from Lin Zhao's body.

The person's dress and the mark on his forehead were exactly the same as Hua Wuxin's.

"Take him down!" As I burst into action, Wang Butcher and Wang Xiaohuan rose at the same time and rushed towards the ghost I had knocked away.

Just as the three of us were focused on that person, Xiao Ying, who hadn't moved, suddenly got up and rushed towards Ye Yang.

"Not good!" Wang Xiaohuan was the first to react, reaching out to grab Xiao Ying's shoulder.

Although Wang Xiaohuan's movements were fast, she was still a step too late. Her fingers hadn't even touched Xiao Ying's shoulder when the other person flashed past her fingertips and got close to Ye Yang.

At the same time, the Soul-Chasing Lock in my hand split into two, wrapping around Xiao Ying's body.

After the two iron chains spun around Xiao Ying several times, they suddenly tightened. I dragged the iron chain and retreated three steps, forcibly pulling Xiao Ying back.

At this moment, the Hundred Treasure Pouch slung across Wang Xiaohuan's body exploded into pieces without warning. Hua Lianqing's soul roared out, rushing towards Ye Yang's back.

Wang Butcher's face turned pale in an instant: "Ye Yang!"

We were either chasing the opponent or dragging back our companions. No one could spare a hand to rescue Ye Yang.

Hua Lianqing merged with Ye Yang in an instant.

Everyone's movements stopped at that moment. A suffocating tension surged into our hearts. Wang Butcher, who had experienced hundreds of battles, gripped her clothes tightly.

In the next moment, Ye Yang suddenly let out a roar. Twelve sword bones burst out from his body, and the sword qi exploding from his body tore his white clothes to pieces.

I clearly saw Hua Lianqing's figure entangled with a sword bone and flying into the distance. I immediately turned around and grabbed Ye Yang's Cold Flame, throwing it at him.

The rotating sword body slapped against Ye Yang's back and rebounded to the ground.

Before Cold Flame landed, Ye Yang caught it in his hand. He also retreated a few steps, landing beside us.

As soon as Ye Yang stood firm, a rumble of thunder and fire explosions came from under the stone platform.

"It's done!" After shaking my arm fiercely, I shouted loudly: "Senior Hua, the battle between the Changsheng Soul and the Undying Corpse should come to an end today. If Senior can leave this place alive, you can come to North Water Town to find me. This junior will be waiting for Senior in North Water Town for three days."

After I finished speaking, I left the mine the way I came without waiting for the other party to respond.

As I walked back along the tunnel, Wang Butcher said with gritted teeth, "Li Po, you better explain to me what's going on?"

I said as I walked, "This matter! Has to be explained slowly."

"At first, I didn't know what the situation was in North Water Town. It wasn't until I learned that the real leader behind North Water Town was Hua Wuxin that I began to consider a question, what does Hua Wuxin want?"

"The Undying Corpse told me about Hua Wuxin. He told me that Hua Wuxin was very interested in occult burials of sorcerers. However, he seemed to be enjoying the process of excavating the secret burial. He didn't care about the wealth inside the secret burial. Sometimes, he would even turn around and leave after taking a glance."

"Therefore, people in the tomb raiding world like to cooperate with Hua Wuxin. Because, he not only contributes his efforts, but also doesn't seek wealth and harm lives. Who wouldn't like such a partner?"

"However, the Undying Corpse didn't think that Hua Wuxin excavated the secret burial simply because he was curious."

"The Undying Corpse and the Changsheng Soul are actually variations of the Longevity Art, or rather, evil paths. The Longevity Art is already not tolerated by the Underworld, let alone evil arts. Any kind of Longevity evil art has certain flaws."

"People who use evil arts to achieve longevity, although they can survive, they also have to endure pain that ordinary people cannot endure."

"Like the Undying Corpse, he can only survive as a zombie."

"The Undying Corpse speculated that Hua Wuxin excavated the secret burial in order to find the body left by the ancient great sorcerer. Or, he wanted to find a way to improve his soul-shifting evil art."

"At that time, I determined that the thing in the secret burial that could attract Hua Wuxin should be similar to the witch guards in the Nine Cauldrons Dragon Palace, or simply the body of a great sorcerer."

"With this goal, I had to solve the second problem. How can I find Hua Wuxin?"

I paused here and said, "North Water Town is Hua Wuxin's territory, and there is too much traffic in it. I didn't dare to compete with Hua Wuxin there, so I could only retreat temporarily."

"Actually, after I left, I kept thinking, who is Hua Wuxin?"
