Chapter 181: Yearning for Freedom
The back side of the nameless mountain peak was always shrouded in darkness, even during the day. As Lu Chen stepped into this shadowy realm, he felt the temperature drop sharply. A chilling wind blew from ahead, as if the hands of sinister spirits were caressing his flesh.
Lu Chen was not greatly surprised by this; it was just one of the common phenomena found in gloomy places. It might be frightening to ordinary mortals and possibly troublesome to average cultivators due to its rarity, but for him, it was a familiar sight.
He seemed naturally adept at blending into the darkness, moving through the shadows as if he were a fish in water, silently advancing without leaving any trace.
Soon, Lu Chen saw the black residence.
The black gate was open, and he could vaguely see He Yi standing in the courtyard. Lu Chen, hidden in the darkness, observed for a while and then glanced at the plaque above the gate that read “Yi Tomb.”
He frowned slightly.
He could roughly guess the meaning of these characters, though he had not expected such a thing, which seemed more fitting for the secular world, to exist within Kunlun Sect. Scanning the surroundings, filled with ghostly chill and swirling darkness, Lu Chen quickly determined that the core of this shadowy place was likely in that courtyard.
A tomb of righteousness, as the name suggests, was a place for the deceased, a location that ordinary people would avoid. Even for someone like Lu Chen, who frequently moved through darkness, it would be rare to enter such a place.
No one liked this place, or rather, no living being would enjoy such a ghostly environment. Thus, dark lands have historically been regarded as a kind of desperate territory.
