Chapter 81: The Mysterious Altar

ms to bring a different kind of pleasure.Fang Yu's eyes flickered, the killing intent in his pupils becoming increasingly cold."Buzz buzz buzz..."The vibration of the blade became increasingly violent...What happened in the underground martial arts arena spread throughout Jianghai City's underworld very quickly.

The entire underground world of Jianghai City was shocked.

Li Zhengrong is dead! Bald head seriously injured and in a coma, his life and death are unknown!

These two are true big shots in Jianghai City, wherever they go, they're surrounded by people.

I heard it was that young man who beat up forty-something people just the other day!

But there are also rumors that the figure of Li Xiaomo was seen in the underground martial arts hall, it seems that this matter is also closely related to Li Xiaomo.

Could the mastermind behind all this be Li Xiaomo

This guess is reasonable. Originally, the underworld in Jianghai City was a three-way power struggle, but now that the leaders of two major factions have met with misfortune, the Qingyan Society represented by Li Xiaomo has become the biggest winner.

The underworld in Jiang Hai City is busier than ever, with all sorts of gangs and organizations buzzing about the event.

They know that from now on, the underworld landscape of Jianghai City is going to change drastically.

……

Li Xiaomo sat in the study, rubbing her temples, her face not looking good.

A maidservant in a tea-colored robe stood beside her, asking softly, "Miss, isn't the current situation favorable to you Why do you seem so unhappy"

Li Xiaomo raised her head, her brow furrowed, and said: "Many people think like you, that after Li Zhengrong and the bald man fell, I am the biggest beneficiary."

"But actually... Just Li Zhengrong and the bald head falling wouldn't have much impact on their forces. At most, there would be a period of internal turmoil."

They will soon elect a new leader.

By then, the newly appointed leaders of these two factions, in order to show their subordinates their strength and determination, will inevitably launch a revenge.

"Who is the target of revenge According to current public opinion, it's me and Qingyan Society."

Li Xiaomo looked at the maidservant and said, "Now, do you still think I should be happy"

The maid frowned and said, “But didn’t the real culprit do it, as Miss [Name] has described, Mr. Fang”

Recalling Fang Yu's coldness and ferocity last night, Li Xiaomo's beautiful eyes flashed a trace of fear, and she smiled bitterly: "Mr. Fang could indeed be targeted for revenge, but he is just one person. Besides, with his strength, he naturally needn't worry about any retaliation."

"But my goal and Qingyan Society's goal is very big. Facing those two forces, if we clash head-on, the losses will be tremendous. Then there might even be a fourth or fifth force that sees an opportunity and jumps in..."

Li Xiaomo said no more.

Now she and the Qingyan Society have a lot of trouble to deal with.

It seems like it's karma catching up to her. She originally wanted to use that photo of their secretly recorded conversation to blackmail Fang Yu, making Li Zhengrong and the bald man think that Qingyan Society had recruited Fang Yu under its wing. Then, she planned to leverage Fang Yu's reputation to gain some benefits.

Unexpectedly, the situation has reversed, with Qingyan Society now becoming the target of many.

"Miss, there's actually a very easy solution to this." The maid suddenly spoke up.

"What do you say" Li Xiaomo looked at the maid and said.

"That Mr. Fang is so powerful, why don't you try to get those two factions to fight him first That way, Mr. Fang will destroy both of them, right" the maid said.

Li Xiaomo's beautiful eyes flickered, and she didn't speak again.

……

On Monday morning, Fang Yu didn't go to school. Instead, she took the high-speed train to Tianshan Mountains in western Jiangnan.

Two hours later, Fang Yu arrived at the Heavenly Edge Mountains.

Long ago, the Tianji Mountains were a must-visit place for disciples of various schools to hone their skills. The mountains were teeming with monster beasts and numerous rare medicinal herbs.

Only with the passage of time, the demonic beasts of the Heavenly Peaks slowly became extinct, until now, there are probably no demonic beasts left.

And, the Tianshan Mountains have also transformed from a place of trials into a scenic area at the third level in China.

Fang Yu walked to the entrance of the scenic area. Looking out, he could see a continuous mountain range, shrouded in white mist, appearing quite mysterious.

Since today is not a holiday, there aren't many people at the scenic spot.

Fang Yu walked slowly along the sidewalk, heading deeper into the Tianji Mountains.

The Tianji Mountains have many peaks, the highest of which is called Tianji Mountain, reaching a height of six thousand four hundred meters.

Fang Yu spent thirty minutes walking to the foot of Tianshij Mountain.

Looking up, one could only see a sheet of white mist. The peaks of the mountains on the horizon seemed to be above the clouds.

And after the Tianji Mountains were developed into a scenic area, a pedestrian hiking trail was built on Tianji Mountain for tourists to climb.

Fang Yu thought about it and didn't choose to take the mountain trail, but instead walked along the steep cliff of Tianshan Mountain!

He ascended at a rapid pace, leaping several meters with each step, like someone bounding up a sheer cliff.

If anyone were to see this, they would surely scream in terror.

In less than an hour, Fang Yu reached the summit of Tianshan Mountain.

At this time, he was surrounded by white mist, with very low visibility.

He peered down into the valley, but could only see clouds.

Fang Yu last came here about eight hundred years ago.

He could no longer remember the location of the tombstone.

Fang Yu had no choice but to walk around the top of Tianshan Mountain.

As he was walking, he came across a dilapidated tombstone. He stopped in his tracks.

The tombstone was surrounded by moss, and the inscription on it had been worn almost illegible by time.

The Tomb of Leng Xun's Twin

These five characters were engraved by Fang Yu himself.

But it probably wasn't carved deeply enough, and now it's already starting to fade.

Fang Yu stood silently before the tombstone, just staring at it.

He is not really a person who likes to reminisce. Every time he reminisces, he always feels a suffocating sense of loneliness.

That's precisely why he hasn't been here for so long.

Actually, before meeting Ji Ruimei, Fang Yu hadn't even thought about Leng Xiuming for a very long time.

But the world is so strange, Fang Yu happened to meet Ji Rumei who looked exactly like Leng Xunshuang.

And whenever he saw Ji Ruimei, he would inevitably think of Leng Xiuming.

"I truly didn't expect that the people from the Ziyan Palace hadn't perished yet." After standing for almost half an hour, Fang Yu took a deep breath and spoke.

But I promise I'll find them all, not one will be left behind.

After that, Fang Yu turned and left.

When descending the mountain, Fang Yu chose to take the hiking trail.

The scenery of Tianshan Mountain Scenic Area is indeed very good. It's very quiet with no tourists around.

When Fang Yu reached the halfway point of the mountain, he suddenly stopped.

Because he felt a strange aura.

A bone-chilling sensation, though fleeting, was detected by Fang Yu.

Fang Yu looked outside the mountain path. There was a protruding rock wall there, and it seemed like it could go further inside.

After a moment's thought, Fang Yu leaped and jumped onto the rock face.

Upon closer inspection, Fang Yu's face changed slightly.

There was a table there, with many candles on it. The candles, when put together, seemed to form a strange symbol.

And on the rock face behind the table hung a grotesque mask, seeming to be of stone.

The reason this mask is described as ferocious is because it features protruding fangs and bulging eyes, forming a ghastly face that exudes an eerie aura.

Fang Yu took a few steps forward and saw two bowls on the table. One bowl was filled with white powder, and the other contained half a bowl of dark red liquid that looked like blood about to coagulate. Next to the two bowls were many strands of hair tangled together.

“Is this an altar Could it be another cultist” Fang Yu frowned, continuing to look around.

This cliff's interior is heavily permeated with sinister Qi, most of which emanates from the mask on the rock face.

Looking at the mask, Fang Yu's eyes flickered, his mind racing.

There are three things on the table: blood, hair...

Is that white powder ashes

Upon thinking of this, Fang Yu's face changed slightly.

Could this altar be used to create a Corpse King

The candles on the table were still burning, their wicks consumed by less than half.

That means someone was just here...

Just as Fang Yu was thinking, a black shadow suddenly flashed behind him.

A shadow crept silently towards Fang Yu, then a silver glint appeared in its hand, revealing a sharp blade that lunged toward the back of Fang Yu's head!Creation Technique that you mastered, directly rebirth... The blood pact would then become invalid."Upon hearing these words, Chi Xuan's heart skipped a beat.Indeed, when he decided to accept the blo...
