Chapter 410: The Mysterious Daoist Temple! Master Liu Er! The Struggle for Lifespan!
“I didn’t expect that deep within this Duanlong Cave, there’d actually be a water bandit stronghold. Seems pirates and river brigands had already been stationed here many years ago,” Zuo Qian spoke in astonishment.
This place was becoming ever more mysterious.
An abandoned bandit fortress from decades past, corpses of foreigners from the Western Regions and the northern frontier, and even that mangy-headed monk who had only recently died here... It all hinted that this place concealed countless secrets.
The air inside the cavern grew increasingly foul; the deeper they went, the heavier the stench of decay became.
Li Yanchu activated his Qi Sight, divine light flickering in his eyes. He could clearly see where the miasma of death was densest.
The three quickened their pace toward that direction, only to find, to their astonishment, a Daoist temple standing quietly ahead.
“Hm?” Li Yanchu’s brows furrowed slightly in surprise.
The ferryman and Zuo Qian were equally bewildered. In a place so ominous and death-ridden, encountering evil spirits or rotting corpses was normal, but a Daoist temple? That was truly beyond reason.
The three exchanged glances, each seeing disbelief in the other’s eyes.
Immediately, Li Yanchu strode forward in great, steady steps. The temple itself was simple and unadorned, imbued with a faint sense of rural tranquility. The walls bore no eerie bloodstains, and the surroundings were free of corpses or decay.
By all appearances, it was an ordinary Daoist temple. And yet, it was precisely because it seemed so normal, that it felt all the more unnerving.
Thud, thud, thud!
