?Chapter 738: Chapter 327: Entering the Soul Tomb Chapter 738: Chapter 327: Entering the Soul Tomb The failure of the four individuals caused a discernible dampening of spirits among the spectating crowd.
After all, they didn’t want to remain in this Sea of Strange forever.
If someone could truly succeed in leaving, it would serve as an inspiration to them.
Among these people, only the two Cultivators at the Solidifying Body Realm remained expressionless, simply waiting.
During this time, several more individuals arrived.
Every time someone new came, the two would sweep over them with their Divine Sense.
Their Cultivation was too high, so even if they scanned some of the newcomers, these individuals were unable to detect it.
The two seemed to show no concern for the failure of the four.
Of course.
Lin Jing also knew why this was the case.
The secret of the Five Elements Command Token was not common knowledge, and within the Water Element Realm, not many were privy to it.
And these two Solidifying Body Realm Cultivators were among those few.
They didn’t care about the life or death of the four and knew that those individuals, regardless of their effort, could not make it through.
Even if, by chance, they made it to the transmission light pillar without the Five Elements Command Token, it would be in vain.
The two of them waited here naturally to wait for the real holder of the Token to appear.
…
As time slowly passed, more and more people arrived.
And at this moment, some newcomers started to feel tempted to attempt the Soul Tomb.
That’s how it was with the Cultivators trapped in the Sea of Strange.
Every time the Soul Tomb appeared, there would always be those who tried to escape.
Some of these individuals were unable to let go of their families and loved ones outside, or the enmity of their Sects.
Others were like the old man before, on the brink of the end of their lifespan, with nothing left to cling to, wanting to risk it all.
Such people couldn’t be dissuaded, nor was there any need to try.
????0.??
Very soon.
After observing for a while, two others made up their minds to attempt the Soul Tomb.
These two were Demon Cultivators.
However, the aura they exuded was somewhat different from ordinary Demon Cultivators, giving off a sinister and eerie vibe.
Once they had decided, they opened their mouths and invited willing volunteers to join them in heading to the Soul Tomb.
But their invitation,
went unanswered.
There were two or three people who had shown some interest, but after sensing the aura of these two, they restrained themselves and did not respond to the invitation.
It was at this time that the Yan Family ancestor transmitted a message to Lin Jing again:
“Once those two enter and lure away the wandering corpses, we’ll wait for a moment and then follow them in.”
Upon hearing the message, Lin Jing nodded slightly:
“Okay!”
Afterward.
The two Demon Cultivators, seeing no one else wished to join them, no longer dallied and flew directly towards the Soul Tomb.
Their entrance was different from the few individuals who attempted before.
They did not utilize Spiritual Power to protect their bodies but each took out a coffin board taller than a person, strapping it to their backs, and simply walked into the entrance of the Soul Tomb.
Using coffin boards as Magical Treasures, it appeared they were not ordinary Demon Cultivators.
The crowd, observing this scene, couldn’t help but cause a stir.
Especially the two or three individuals who had been somewhat tempted before, they all breathed a sigh of relief upon witnessing this.
The Soul Tomb was already dangerous enough; having companions like these two would only make it worse.
Who would know if these strange Cultivators might suddenly turn hostile and strike at their own companions?
However…
Soon, there was an unexpected twist.
When the two sinister Demon Cultivators entered the city gates, there was a wandering corpse not far from them.
The walking corpse was, in fact, less than ten meters away from them, yet despite such a short distance, the two proceeded without any sign of distress, walking straight in.
And the walking corpse made no move to attack them.
Upon seeing this, the crowd immediately fell silent.
A moment later.
The colorful mist once again shrouded the Soul Tomb.
Even before it was fully enveloped, people still saw the two Demon Cultivators walking unhurriedly into the interior of the Soul Tomb.
And the walking corpse moved in the opposite direction without any intention of attacking them.
The next moment.
The colorful mist covered everything.
It was then that a buzz went through the crowd.
“What’s going on?
Why don’t those walking corpses attack them?”
“Could it be the coffin board Magical Treasures they summoned just now, or is it because of the different Cultivation Technique they practice?”
…
“I’m not sure, but the Cultivation Technique they practice is indeed different, giving off a chilling and bizarre sensation, as if they’re used to dealing with corpses regularly.”
“Could they be from a Corpse Refining Sect within the Demonic Path?”
…
“I think they’re like people from the Corpse Refining Sect!
After all, the Soul Tomb might be strange, but the walking corpses inside are still corpses; they may have some method to shield themselves from the perception of those walking corpses.”
…
In the crowd, they discussed back and forth, speculating about the identity of the two individuals.
Even the two Solidifying Body Realm Cultivators, who had been indifferent all along, couldn’t help but look inside the Soul Tomb.
“Alas!”
“It was a miscalculation.
Had I known, I would have joined them earlier.”
At this moment, one of the crowd couldn’t help but lament.
This person was one of the two or three who had been somewhat interested before.
As his words fell, another spoke up:
“Fellow Daoist…”
“Why don’t we enter now?
They have just gone in; if we enter now, we might be able to catch up with them.
They must be well-prepared for the Soul Tomb, understanding it quite well.
If we just follow them, that surely beats trying on our own, and the chances of success are much higher.”
His words stirred some interest in the other person.
Yet for some reason, this individual seemed to hesitate.
