Record of a Demon's Cultivation-Chapter 587: Collusion with the Demon Path

Translator: Cinder Translations

Zi Yun was severely injured and could no longer control her body.

She could only watch helplessly as the abyssal rift, which resembled the giant mouth of a monster, swallowed her whole.

The wind howled in her ears as Zi Yun fell into an endless darkness.

Suddenly, a black tentacle shot down from above, wrapping around Zi Yun's body and pulling her from the abyss.

The black tentacle was formed from the accumulated deathly aura.

The reason Song Wen intervened to save Zi Yun was that if anything were to happen to her, he would be unable to report to Lan Yin.

Song Wen looked at the heavily injured Zi Yun with an extremely grave expression.

Given Zi Yun's current condition, she had completely lost her fighting ability.

This meant that he would have to face the two Golden Corpses alone.

"Zhu Yin, has the formation been set up?" Song Wen called out loudly.

"It's done, retreat quickly," came Zhu Yin's reply, which filled Song Wen with relief.

He raised his hand and pointed at the Blood Sea Seal.

A pillar of blood surged out from the Blood Sea Seal, shooting straight into the sky, crashing toward the flying Golden Corpse in midair.

The flying Golden Corpse, having been blocked by Zi Yun's giant sword, was about to reorganize and resume its pursuit of Song Wen.

However, it saw the blood pillar charging toward it with a force that could shake the heavens.

Reluctantly, the flying Golden Corpse had to stop its pursuit. It waved its hands, and ten claw beams shot out to intercept the blood pillar.

The blood pillar was repeatedly struck by the claw beams, and after several attacks, it shattered, scattering into the air as blood mist.

Song Wen had to divide most of the Blood Sea Seal's power to block the flying Golden Corpse, which meant he could no longer contain the bull-headed Golden Corpse.

The bull-headed Golden Corpse broke through the Blood Sea Seal and charged toward Song Wen.

Its eyes glowed a crimson red, as if it would never stop until Song Wen was torn to pieces.

Song Wen turned and pulled Zi Yun along as he fled.

In the blink of an eye, they reached Zhu Yin's side.

"Ji Yin, protect me. I need to trap both Golden Corpses at once," Zhu Yin ordered.

Song Wen glanced at the approaching Golden Corpses, his face tense with resolve, and nodded.

The flying Golden Corpse was the first to enter the formation, as it was much faster than the bull-headed Golden Corpse.

Seeing the flying Golden Corpse drawing closer, Zhu Yin didn't immediately activate the formation. Instead, she waited for the bull-headed Golden Corpse to enter.

Seeing this, Song Wen knew it was time for him to act.

He focused all his energy and poured his magic power into the Blood Sea Seal .

Under his control, the Blood Sea Seal transformed into a towering blood mountain, crashing toward the flying Golden Corpse with the force of a thunderbolt.

The flying Golden Corpse, surrounded by deathly aura, showed no fear and collided directly with the blood mountain.

The two forces clashed violently in midair, producing a deafening roar.

The blood mountain was sent flying, transforming back into the Blood Sea Seal and landing back in Song Wen's hands.

Song Wen breathed heavily, his magic power severely drained after several direct confrontations with the Golden Corpses, his energy and blood surging uncontrollably.

The flying Golden Corpse was also pushed back by the blood mountain, retreating half a step.

The bull-headed Golden Corpse finally caught up and entered the formation as well.

Seeing this, Zhu Yin quickly made several hand gestures, and the giant corpse-restraining talisman reappeared.

The first target was the flying Golden Corpse.

Under the immense suppression of the talisman, the flying Golden Corpse's movements suddenly froze, as though an invisible force was pressing down on it.

The flying Golden Corpse abruptly fell from midair, crashing toward the ground, while the bull-headed Golden Corpse on the ground was also suppressed by the descending corpse-restraining talisman.

Both Golden Corpses were enraged, their deathly energy rising like siege hammers, continuously striking at the talisman above them.

The talisman flickered and swayed, as though it might shatter at any moment.

"Ji Yin, I have one last move that can temporarily trap both Golden Corpses, but once I use it, my magic power will be completely drained. You'll need to take me and escape then."

Song Wen's heart jolted upon hearing Zhu Yin's words.

Zhu Yin actually had secret methods to deal with the corpses.

"Alright, I will definitely take you with me and escape this underground cave," Song Wen readily promised.

Zhu Yin seemed unbothered by the possibility of Song Wen breaking his word. Her hand gestures suddenly changed.

The black inscriptions on the talisman seemed to come alive, gradually forming two black chains.

These chains were not physical; rather, they were some sort of ethereal entity.

With a soft command from Zhu Yin, the two black chains shot out like spirit serpents from the talisman, streaking through the air with deep black light, instantly striking the two Golden Corpses.

The Golden Corpses seemed to sense the danger and attempted to dodge, but due to the suppression of the corpse-restraining talisman, their movements were greatly slowed.

Their bodies radiated a deathly aura, but they could not stop the chains from getting closer.

In the blink of an eye, the two Golden Corpses were tightly bound by the chains.

Zhu Yin's face turned pale as paper, and her body swayed slightly, almost collapsing. Clearly, this technique drained her significantly.

"Move quickly!" she gasped, addressing Song Wen. "The corpse-binding chains won't hold them for long."

Song Wen did not dare waste any time. Suddenly, a blue talisman appeared in his hand—it was the 'Qinggang Divine Travel Talisman.'

The talisman shattered, and a gust of blue wind immediately enveloped Song Wen, his figure shooting forward like an arrow from a bow, moving so fast it was almost imperceptible.

Behind him, the deathly aura condensed into two tentacles, wrapping up Zi Yun and Zhu Yin.

This all happened in the blink of an eye, so fast it was almost as if a wind passed, and the three of them had already vanished from the spot.

Thirty breaths later, the blue wind around Song Wen dissipated, and he had already covered a distance of more than ten miles.

Song Wen did not dare relax for a moment and continued fleeing at full speed.

To his surprise, the two Golden Corpses did not pursue.

The path they had come from was widening as they went, but as they turned back, it narrowed.

Leading the two women, Song Wen soon arrived above Black Stone Mountain.

He flew through the air toward the west.

After leaving the range of Black Stone Mountain, Song Wen arrived at the base of a cliff.

He withdrew the deathly aura back into his body and gently set Zi Yun and Zhu Yin down.

Zi Yun, severely wounded, gave Song Wen a grateful look.

"Ji Yin, thank you. I will remember this favor," she said.

After speaking, she took a healing pill and began circulating her energy to recover.

Zhu Yin, having exhausted all her magic power, took a pill to replenish it and then began meditating.

Song Wen's situation was not much better; his magic power was less than twenty percent.

He was about to set up a formation to hide their auras when he noticed two figures descending from the sky.

It was Hu Gao and Wen Lin. While Song Wen was fleeing in the air, they had spotted him and followed his trail.

Their gazes swept over Song Wen and the two women. A cold glint flashed in Hu Gao's eyes.

He stared at Song Wen, the only one still standing, and coldly asked, "Who are you?"

"I am Ji Yin," Song Wen replied.

"You are not a disciple of our Liangyi Sect. Why are you in the Illusory Spirit Valley's secret realm? Why are you with Zi Yun, and who injured her?" Hu Gao pressed, his tone aggressive.

Song Wen did not wish to conflict with the Liangyi Sect members. He calmly responded, "I am indeed not a disciple of the Liangyi Sect. As for why I'm in the Illusory Spirit Valley's secret realm, I'm afraid I cannot share that. Zi Yun was injured by a demonic beast, not by me."

Hu Gao was about to ask more when he was interrupted by Wen Lin's sudden voice.

After confirming that Song Wen and the two women were in a severely weakened state, a smirk appeared on Wen Lin's face, as if she were amused.

"Brother Hu Gao, don't you get it yet? Zi Yun colluded with the demon path and secretly brought these Golden Core cultivators into the secret realm, intending to steal the heavenly materials and earthly treasures inside."

TL/N: SMH, they really like courting death.
