Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 786: Chapter 367: Charge!_2

The pressure from the Jing Family fell upon them, and they could only maintain their silence. They didn’t even have the courage to resist; at that time, none of the three veins had a Sixth Sense adept in command.

Yet, in their despair, a young Scavenger answered her call for help!

Armed with a ring-headed knife, he stormed into the Jing Family ranks and, after defeating more than a dozen experts, escaped with her from the Jing Family.

And she… was also related to Jing Lin…

This caused Jing Lin’s face to undergo several changes before he gave a bitter smile and said, “The child of my aunt? I thought you were an illegitimate son of my father…”

So that’s how it was, no wonder. After interacting with Li Yelai, both he and his sister Jing Nuo felt an inexplicable sense of closeness. Could it be the connection of blood?

Thinking of Jing Nuo, Jing Lin felt somewhat relieved. Thank goodness he had not let Jing Nuo use her charms; otherwise, wouldn’t that have been incestuous?

Had father and grandfather known his identity all along?

Suddenly, Jing Lin understood why the Jing Family valued Li Yelai so much, even wanting to make contact with Li Yelai’s sister.

Divine Blood, huh? It really was dreadful!

No wonder Li Yelai was willing to help Jing Lin, to assist Jing Nuo. Because his mother had also been a victim…

“When did you find out?” Jing Lin asked.

“It was when you sent my father back,” Li Yelai responded.

“I see… So I’ve lost a brother and gained a relative,” Jing Lin commented wryly. “I wondered why we got along so well. Turns out you’re my cousin!”

“I don’t plan on recognizing any relatives. Of course, you can call on me when it’s time to divide the inheritance,” Li Yelai said with a smile.

“Hahaha, good, now, let’s, as brothers, cut through metal with sheer might!”

…

Deep within the valley, the battle was exceptionally brutal.

Humanoid skeletons, as smooth as jade, crawled up from the ground and surrounded the Jing Family experts.

Many Jing Family experts had been killed; their bodies torn open by the skeletal warriors, with copious amounts of blood gushing into the ground and being devoured so quickly it couldn’t pool into puddles.

The land seemed like a parched sponge, endlessly soaking up the blood.

These skeletons seemed to be the Yin Soldiers of Returning Souls.

But the battle power of the Yin Soldiers encountered by humans had never been so fierce.

First Awakening and Second Awakening Spiritual Ability Users could protect themselves against Yin Soldiers.

Third Awakening Spiritual Ability Users could single-handedly kill many Yin Soldiers.

At this moment, several Jing Family Sixth Sense Battle Power wielders were here, yet they were relentlessly pushed back by the Yin Soldiers, suffering heavy casualties.

The bodies of these humanoid skeletons were incredibly tough; even when blown apart, they would immediately reform and resume fighting.

Unless their skulls were completely destroyed, they could not be vanquished.

Among them, some special skeletons had intricate inscriptions on their bodies and possessed astonishing battle power, including formidable Spiritual Barriers that only Sixth Sense individuals could breach.

This formidable defensive power caused many Jing Family experts to lament as their Spiritual Energy was drained dry, and they were torn apart while still alive.

They had been scattered throughout different parts of the Immortal Palace upon entering, but they knew the palace well and quickly regrouped after leaving human strongholds. They had all come near this palace.

They hoped to gain more inheritance in the palace; it was their primary goal for entering the Immortal Palace this time.

But at this moment, what should have been their opportunity transformed into a bloody mill. One after another, the elite members of their Family fell.

“No!” Watching as Jing Family bloodlines perished, Jing Jing screamed in madness.

Although she was paranoid, her utmost concern was the advancement of the Family. The deaths and injuries of so many family elites drove her into a frenzy.

A giant Molten Lava Giant Dragon roared forth.

Scorching heat filled the air, destroying a great number of Yin Soldiers, but soon, new Yin Soldiers emerged, one inscribed Yin Soldier shattering the giant dragon’s arm with a single punch. The rest swarmed and tore the Molten Lava Giant Dragon apart.

“Yin Soldiers… Returning Souls, why would there be Returning Souls inside the Immortal Palace?”

Jing Jing was repelled with a punch, coughing up blood, her complexion pale.

An elder caught her and tossed her behind him.

Then, lifting a War Axe, he chopped the approaching inscribed Yin Soldier into pieces, and quickly shattered its skull.

The elder was none other than Jing Ji.

Jing Lin’s grandfather, and also Li Yelai’s ‘grandfather-in-law.’

At this moment, his hair and beard were wild as he wielded the War Axe, unleashing wave after wave of axe shadows, momentarily suppressing the Yin Soldiers.

“Still don’t understand? Returning Souls… even after Immortals die, they can give rise to Returning Souls! Or rather, they should be called Ghost Immortals!” Jing Ji said in a somber voice, coldly speaking out.

Hearing this, the Jing Family experts were filled with dread.

Returning Souls, as the name implies, are those who return. The true explanation being those who return from death.

In certain rare circumstances, the deceased’s immense attachment to life can, under the influence of the Void Realm, create new life.

These beings do not stay long in the Physical World, but each appearance has either good or bad effects on humans.

Some Returning Souls prefer to trade with humans, returning after a period to claim their price.

Others follow certain rules; once any creature triggers these rules, it will incur their malice.

The location here was the remains of the Heavenly Palace Civilization; naturally, the Returning Souls lingering here were the manifestations of the Immortals’ lingering will before death.

That is, the so-called Ghost Immortals!

Returning Souls formed by the Immortals’ attachments… The Jing Family experts had chills running down their spines.

“Why? This is our ancestor’s Heavenly Palace, and the barrier was personally set by the second Divine Son. Why would it harm us?” Jing Jing struggled to her feet, looking aged from the consecutive strikes, fine lines appearing on her previously well-maintained skin.
