Chapter 258: The man without a shadow

Just then, Han Ye transmitted a message to Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan nodded slightly.

On this point, he and Han Ye shared the same thought: Liang Yong was not simple.

“But this has nothing to do with us right now. We just need to follow Song Bin out of here; we don’t need to worry about anything else.”

Qin Xuan also transmitted a message to Han Ye.

He also wanted to see what Song Bin was planning.

“Just observe and adapt. Anyway, we’ll part ways tomorrow. The situation isn’t clear yet, so don’t make a move.”

Qin Xuan’s sharp gaze swept around, waiting for the subsequent developments.

Eerie winds constantly howled outside the dilapidated temple. Although there was protection from the stone statue inside the temple, Qin Xuan could still sense the changes around him.

Amidst these howling eerie winds, many monsters were guarding outside the dilapidated temple.

However, they were all intimidated by the power of the stone statue and dared not approach.

“This stone statue is quite interesting. It seems the materials must have come from those mining areas. I just don’t know how many such stone statue temples exist on this land.”

Stroking his chin in thought, Qin Xuan glanced at Song Bin, who was grumbling indignantly, and merely sneered.

This person was still useful for now, so he would let him be arrogant for a while. Once they left this place, Qin Xuan had ways to make him remember his place.

“It’s a pity. This person’s strength and Mental Energy are too weak; otherwise, soul-searching could yield a lot of useful information.”

He could learn a lot, whether it was the usage of Si Nan or the secrets of the Burial Spirit Land.

In contrast, although Wang Fu and Nannan lived in the Burial Spirit Land, they knew too little information.

After all, they were all sent here by the Heavenly Fiend Sect.

“From the conversation between these two just now, there should be several Sects and Holy Lands nearby. These Holy Lands should be like the Heavenly Fiend Sect, having sent many people here.”

“If one Sect does this, I can say it’s for punishing enemies, but if so many Sects do it, I don’t believe there isn’t a conspiracy involved.”

By this point, Qin Xuan was certain that the nearby Sects must have their own plans, which was why they sent so many Mortals to the Burial Spirit Land.

“Burial Spirit Land, what kind of existence is it that it’s worth using such a large area to bury?”

In a trance, Qin Xuan suddenly thought of the Tian Tomb.

“Cangtian’s Tomb?”

Since it could be called Tian Tomb, it was a tomb meant to bury Cangtian.

What kind of existence could cause Cangtian to die?

After this thought emerged, Qin Xuan’s mind wandered further and further.

“Back then, I was only outside the Tian Tomb and didn’t go in. Someone ambushed me, not only crippling me but also throwing me into the Tian Tomb.”

Who exactly was this person?

Qin Xuan only remembered that he was knocked unconscious without any resistance at the time.

By the time he woke up, he was already inside the Tian Tomb.

As for who knocked him out, he had no clue whatsoever.

“The only people who knew my whereabouts at the time were those from Fire Wind City. But besides the old geezers from those Families, there weren’t many who could knock me out without anyone noticing.”

However, Qin Xuan was certain it wasn’t them.

After returning home, he had also investigated the experts from those Families at the time he encountered danger.

After investigation, all the Clan Elders of those Families at the time had clear whereabouts, and no one went to the Tian Tomb.

“It’s one thing to knock me out and throw me into the Tian Tomb, but it just so happened that Xuanji Empress encountered me. This matter is probably not that simple!”

For some reason, Qin Xuan always felt as if he was involved in an extraordinary grand scheme.

“There are many Forbidden Lands in the Eastern Region: Tian Tomb, Luoshen Abyss, Immortal Tomb… many places are known as Forbidden Lands where no living beings should enter. It was truly fortunate for me to come out of the Tian Tomb; other places are hard to say.”

“Although this Burial Spirit Land is not comparable to those major Forbidden Lands, it doesn’t seem much different now. It seems I need to be careful.”

“I also don’t know what exactly exists in the other major Forbidden Lands, to the extent that they are called Forbidden Lands.”

As Qin Xuan was stroking his chin in thought, he suddenly looked up at the doorway.

“More people?”

But soon, Qin Xuan used his Mental Energy to detect that the newcomer was Liang Yong, who had left earlier.

Why was he back?

Didn’t he leave with those three people before? Why did he appear here again?

Qin Xuan was puzzled.

“Be careful. I can’t see through this person.”

Han Ye warned Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan naturally understood and remained vigilant.

“Thump, thump, thump!”

Liang Yong knocked on the temple door.

“Who is it?!”

Song Bin, who had fallen back asleep, got up impatiently.

“Senior Brother Song, it’s me, Liang Yong from Kaiyang Holy Land!”

“Liang Yong? Didn’t you go look for treasures? Why are you back?”

Song Bin said impatiently.

Hearing this, Liang Yong outside the door gave a bitter smile.

“Senior Brother Song, something went wrong over there…”

Before he could finish speaking, Song Bin opened the door and pulled Liang Yong inside.

“Something went wrong? What went wrong?”

Hearing that something might have happened to Xiang Guang and the others, the smugness on Song Bin’s face was no longer concealed.

“Well, I took them to the place where the jade pendants were. They had already found all the jade pendants, but then one of the Senior Brothers became greedy and attacked Senior Brother Xiang. Although Senior Brother Xiang killed this person, he was afraid that the other person would also attack him, so he struck first. As a result of their fight, both were gravely injured and fell to the ground, unable to get up.”

“I originally wanted to rescue them, but that area is now blocked by eerie winds, so I can’t bring them over. I could only come to find Senior Brother Song.”

Liang Yong said anxiously.

Looking at the anxious Liang Yong, Song Bin almost burst out laughing.

This was simply too ridiculous!

He had been excluded earlier, but they ended up fighting among themselves.

This was simply destiny!

Thinking of this, Song Bin almost wanted to let out a long howl to the sky.

Wait!

Suddenly, Song Bin’s heart pounded like a drum.

Since all three of them were in such a state, didn’t that mean he could get the jade pendant just by going over there?

Song Bin’s heart beat faster and faster.

Due to his excitement, he almost couldn't help but let out a long howl to the sky.

“Calm down, calm down, it’s not in hand yet.”

But the more he said this, the more excited Song Bin became, completely unable to calm down.

He was perfectly clear about the rewards set by the Sect after obtaining the jade pendant.

If he could get these rewards, he would truly be rich.

Thinking of this, Song Bin wished he could leave with Liang Yong right now.

Watching this scene, Qin Xuan also had a rough idea in his mind.

It seemed Song Bin had become the fisherman who reaped the benefits.

However, once they left this place, Qin Xuan had ways to get the item into his hands.

As Qin Xuan was deep in thought, a small hand suddenly reached out from the side and tugged at his sleeve.

Qin Xuan turned around and saw Nannan tugging at his sleeve while looking at Liang Yong in terror.

“What’s wrong, Nannan?”

Qin Xuan asked in a low voice.

“Big Brother, look, this person, he has no shadow.”

No shadow?

Qin Xuan froze, then his heart rate quickened. He immediately turned to look at Liang Yong, and then he saw a scene that made his hair stand on end.

Under the flickering candlelight, Song Bin’s shadow was stretched long.

But the Liang Yong standing beside him had no shadow beneath his feet!
