Everyone left the Ice Palace smoothly, the invisible wall that had been blocking them completely vanished.
There was no objection to Fang Lin’s proposal, except for Li Youbing.
Li Youbing didn’t want to lead the Li family on this adventure and thereby desired to evade Fang Lin and the others.
However, Fang Lin did not give her the opportunity, bluntly telling Li Youbing that what she had taken earlier was a poisonous pill and without an antidote, she wouldn’t last a day.
Li Youbing turned pale with rage. Although she had foreseen that what Fang Lin had given her wasn’t good, the reality was worse than she expected. She wouldn’t last a day?
Initially, Li Youbing had hoped to go to her family’s elders to detoxify after leaving the Endless Dungeon, but it seems that before leaving the dungeon, she was likely to become a puppet manipulated by Fang Lin.
Even though she was resentful, Li Youbing also feared death and she had to ensure the safety of the Li family members, so she had no choice but to compromise.
The group of people left the Ice Palace, still filled with lingering fear. Despite not losing anyone, given a choice, they would absolutely refuse to come here a second time.
In the opposite direction, the group headed towards the other end of the ice valley, where the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard was located. Of course, only Fang Lin knew this, while the others were anxious and eager.
On the way, Fang Lin asked Li Youbing about what happened when the Li family members entered the central passage at the fork in the road.
Li Youbing was reluctant but proceeded to tell Fang Lin that after their encounter with the Underworld Firefly at the fork, the Li family directly entered the middle passage which turned out to be quite safe with various spiritual medicines growing.
The Li family members were overjoyed. Li Tongtian could not stop smiling and even mocked the royal family and Purple Mist Sect for choosing a road of death.
Later, the Li family massively harvested the spiritual medicines there and continued down the passage, where they came across another spiritual spring.
The spiritual spring was filled with an ascending warm mist and a fragrant aroma. The scent alone refreshed the Li family, making them feel much better.
Upon experiencing this, they realized that it was undoubtedly a spiritual spring.
So, they all stepped into the spring for a relaxing bath. After the bath, every member of the Li family felt rejuvenated, their fatigue and injuries were gone. A few members close to breakthrough in their cultivation made the break.
The Li family had a very pleasant journey. Not only did they not encounter any danger, but they also found spiritual medicines, and soaked in the spiritual spring. Compared to Fang Lin’s group, they were very fortunate.
The people from the Purple Mist Sect and the royal family listened and their expressions were weird. Even Qing Jianzi and Yang Pojun’s expressions were convulsed.
Their luck was so bad that they did not choose the middle passage. They had to deal with skeletons and giant lizards, encountering danger at every turn.
And the Li family? They feasted and drank along the way, trouble-free, and gained so many advantages for nothing. As a result, the members of the royal family and the Purple Mist Sect almost choked on their tongues.
“Um, did you say you got a lot of spiritual medicines?” Fang Lin asked, grinning sheepishly.
Hearing this, Li Youbing’s vigilance increased: “What are you trying to do? Those are the gains of my Li family, don’t get any ideas.”
Fang Lin said righteously: “Why are you so suspicious? I’m not going to steal them. But since we are traveling together now, shouldn’t we share prosperity and adversity? Your Li family has gained so many spiritual medicines, and even bathed in the spiritual spring. We have suffered and toiled without gaining anything. Maybe you should share some spiritual medicines with us, to soothe our feelings, right?”
Li Youbing looked at him incredulously. Qing Jianzi and Yang Pojun turned away, seemingly disgusted by his shamelessness.
If you’re greedy for spiritual medicines, just say so. Why invent such excuses?
Li Youbing angrily retorted: “Fang Lin, don’t go too far. If you want spiritual medicine, find it yourself. Don’t look to us.”
Fang Lin gave a cold hum, but didn’t make any more effort to force Li Youbing to hand over the spiritual medicines, which was beyond the others’ expectations.
Along the way to the other end of the ice valley, they encountered some demon beasts, but none of these posed any significant obstacle.
However, Fang Lin did not see any sign of Gu Hanshan. As the Ice Emperor wouldn’t have lied to him, Gu Hanshan must have moved faster and reached the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard ahead of them.
It was inevitable. A single person’s movements were always more efficient than a group’s. Gu Hanshan was definitely faster.
Fang Lin really wanted to leave the group and chase Gu Hanshan alone, but he couldn’t do that. After experiencing so much together, he wanted to bring them out safely. Further, having many people has its benefits.
One day after walking in the ice valley, Li Youbing’s poisonous pill acted up. She collapsed on the ground in pain, twitching in agony as if she was about to die.
Fang Lin promptly gave her a Detoxification Pill to alleviate her suffering. As a result, Li Youbing was deeply shocked by the pain caused by the poisoning, and her fear of Fang Lin deepened.
After several hours of traveling, they all felt a surge of demon Qi. It kept getting stronger as they moved forward.
Some people’s faces began to change. With such strong demon Qi ahead, there must be a powerful demon beast.
However, Fang Lin was delighted. The presence of the Demon Qi meant that they were gradually getting closer to the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard, and Gu Hanshan should be nearby.
“Fang Lin, I think we better not go forward.” Qing Jianzi suggested.
Yang Pojun, however, clamored: “We’ve come this far, how can we not go and see?”
Fang Lin nodded in agreement: “If we don’t check it out, I will also have regrets.”
Qing Jianzi reluctantly agreed to proceed, but insisted that if they encountered any danger, they must leave immediately and not linger.
They kept moving forward, leaving the ice valley and entering a temperate zone. Below their feet was solid mud, and they could faintly make out a vast land ahead.
Roar!!!
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from ahead. Everyone was startled, thinking a beast was about to attack.
On the vast land, numerous demon beast corpses were piled up. Some had decayed to white bones, some were still intact, some were as large as a mountain, while others were as small as domestic animals.
Everyone looked horrified. What was this place? There were so many demon beast bones. The scary demon Qi was almost materializing.
Fang Lin frowned, scanning the surroundings. In the midst of the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard, he spotted a staggering figure.
