Chapter 63: King Yan's Rebound
A ghostly figure floated out of the boy's body, laughing eerily. Liang Yan snorted coldly as he flicked a banner from his palm. The banner flapped in the air, releasing streams of black qi, which swiftly surrounded the ghostly figure.
The spirit struggled violently within the black qi, but it could not escape and was eventually consumed by the dark energy.
After retrieving the banner, Liang Yan waved his hand, conjuring a burst of flame that reduced the corpse in the cave dwelling to ashes.
Nearby, the disciples in other cave dwellings who had been cultivating were startled. They opened their doors and witnessed the entire scene. After bowing respectfully to Liang Yan, they glanced indifferently at Qin Sang and the others, then returned to their cultivation as though this was a routine occurrence.
In the now-empty cave dwelling, only a pile of ash remained, swept up by a cold wind and scattered into the canyon. The last traces of the boy were the claw marks on the ground.
Liang Yan led them down another seven or eight flights of stairs to a row of unoccupied cave dwellings. "These caves have no owners. Choose one and begin your cultivation. Senior Uncle Yue will hold a monthly lecture at the end of each month. If you have any questions about your practice, make sure to ask him then."
The group remained silent, staring at the dark, empty cave dwellings with a mix of awe and unease. Had similar scenes unfolded inside these caves before?
Noticing their apprehension, Liang Yan smiled and said, "What’s wrong? Scared by such a small event? If you don’t want to end up like that, remember what I just told you: Use your spiritual consciousness to suppress King Yan and make sure it submits completely before entering the Yin Malevolent Abyss to absorb the malevolent yin qi. The Yan Luo Banner is a powerful tool, but you must curb your greed when absorbing Soul Pills. Never give King Yan a chance to break free, or even immortals won’t be able to save you. What happened to that junior brother just now is a warning! Never forget this!"
After speaking, Liang Yan mounted his flying artifact and left.
