Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 694 - 696 The Terrifying Thing is Coming
Chapter 694: Chapter 696: The Terrifying Thing is Coming Chapter 694: Chapter 696: The Terrifying Thing is Coming In this dimly lit passage, Ling Shiyu and Han Mei felt a sense of unease creeping into their hearts.
The two clung tightly to each other, then stayed very close to Xia Liu.
Only by doing so could they obtain a greater sense of safety.
As for Xia Liu, his Divine Sense could extend to the surroundings for a hundred meters, so he wasn’t worried about anything.
Should there be a sudden situation, he would be able to react at the fastest speed.
Inhaling the scents from both sides of the passage, Xia Liu chose to rely on the right side to move forward.
After about ten minutes, Xia Liu stopped in his tracks.
...
His Divine Sense had detected a spacious area ahead, where several corpses lay on the ground.
“Stay close to me and don’t panic,” Xia Liu said, turning his head towards Ling Shiyu and Han Mei.
The death of Martial Artists meant that there was danger ahead.
If the two women didn’t act hastily, Xia Liu was confident he could protect them well.
“Understood, Brother Xia Liu!”
After the two women nodded in response, Xia Liu lead them slowly toward the area ahead.
And his Divine Sense probed the surroundings over and over again.
He wanted to know how exactly those people had died.
However, after moving past the passage, Xia Liu still couldn’t discern any clues.
“Those are disciples of my Lingyun Sect!”
Upon seeing the bodies on the ground, Ling Shiyu screamed out.
“Don’t get agitated!” Xia Liu immediately cautioned.
He had already identified the garments on these Martial Artists, all bearing the emblem of Lingyun Sect’s divine peak, when his Divine Sense had swept over.
“Shiyu, keep calm. It’s very dangerous here!” Han Mei was also scared; now, only by staying behind Xia Liu could she ensure her own safety.
Ling Shiyu’s eyes reddened. She knew all of the Lingyun Sect’s disciples.
Being together all year long for training, affection was bound to develop, and seeing their deaths was heart-wrenching.
But in this perilous secret realm, she knew that safety could only be found behind Xia Liu.
“It looks like they were killed by a blade cutting through their throats,” Xia Liu concluded, examining the ferocious wounds left on the bodies.
The wounds were so horrific that Ling Shiyu and Han Mei almost vomited at the sight, but thankfully, they managed to suppress it with their Inner Qi.
“Who could have done this?” Han Mei asked, struggling to control her emotions.
“I don’t know, but since they were attacked from the front, it indicates that the assailant was not weak,” Xia Liu shook his head. The Martial Artists’ cultivation should all be at Mysterious Rank or above.
The fact that they had been killed by a frontal blade attack suggested that the enemy was formidable.
Moreover, the wounds were on the neck, which further indicated the enemy’s precision.
“Could it be that they found some treasure, and then were killed by a High-Rank Martial Artist?” Ling Shiyu inquired.
“That’s unlikely. Their wounds are very uniform. Unless the High-Rank Martial Artist has such a predilection, such meticulous killing is not typical for a robbery,” Xia Liu elaborated.
“Could there be some kind of terrifying entity within the Secret Realm?”
At this speculation, Ling Shiyu and Han Mei began to tremble.
As outsiders, it was quite possible that whatever originally resided here would act to expel them.
“Perhaps, don’t move. Let me check behind this wall.” Although Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate the wall, Xia Liu could see that the stone wall, shaped like an archway, surely led somewhere.
With a mighty heave of his palm, Xia Liu instantly stood before what looked like the archway in the stone wall.
He raised his palm, and immediately struck the stone wall.
Boom!
The recoil force sent Xia Liu several meters back, and at that very moment, the portion of the stone wall began to tremble.
About thirty seconds later, the stone wall actually began to rise on its own.
No, it would be more accurate to say it was a stone gate.
Just when the stone gate had risen over a meter high, Xia Liu spread his arms wide, shielding the two women behind him, all the while Spiritual Energy burst forth, enveloping his surroundings.
“Brother Xia Liu, what’s happening?” the two women asked weakly.
“Something is coming out from inside!” Since his Divine Sense couldn’t extend beyond the stone gate, Xia Liu was unclear about what might emerge.
But the aura in the air and his sixth sense made him involuntarily tense up.
“Ah!” the two women almost instantly clung to Xia Liu in a flash.
In such a place, whatever would come out was bound to be terrifying.
…
Xia Liu was somewhat speechless; the soft sensation coming from both sides was somewhat intoxicating, yet he had to push the two women away – otherwise, how could he perform…
“It’s coming!”
As the presence drew closer, Xia Liu tensed up as well.
In this kind of secret realm meant for cultivators, his Qi Cultivation Stage cultivation was really insignificant.
Sometimes, even cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage could meet their deaths.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh…
Amidst Xia Liu’s tension, a dark figure swiftly darted out from the stone gate.
At that moment, Xia Liu saw clearly – wasn’t that Ling Jue, the Sect Master of Lingyun Sect?
“Father! How could it be you?” Ling Shiyu exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the person who came out.
Indeed, Ling Shiyu’s father was none other than Ling Jue, the Sect Master of Lingyun Sect.
“Ah! Shiyu, what are you doing here? And Daoist Fellow Xia as well.”
Ling Jue was also stunned, never having expected to encounter his own daughter and the fearsome Xia Liu here.
“Father, have you lost your mind? I was sucked into this secret realm with you,” Ling Shiyu said with some embarrassment. It seemed her own father had lost his memory – how could he forget such a thing.
“Right, right, right, I remember now. But we mustn’t stay here; we need to run fast. Something terrifying is about to come out!”
Ling Jue hurriedly spoke, his face turning a bit pale.
Thinking back to his ordeal within the stone gate sent shivers down his spine.
“Sect Master Ling, what’s going on?” Xia Liu’s Divine Sense was now able to extend a bit into the stone gate; he hadn’t detected anything unusual.

“Daoist Fellow Xia, when my disciples and I arrived here, we were surrounded and attacked by a swarm of terrifying mice. They were so powerful that I could only fend them off, but not kill them. If it hadn’t been for the sudden opening of the stone gate, I would have died right there.”
Remembering those dreadful creatures, Ling Jue’s scalp tingled.
“Mice? Were all these disciples killed by the mice?” Xia Liu was somewhat frustrated. Ling Jue was able to contend with the mice but not to kill them, which was indeed strange.
And had these mice become demons? Possessing cultivation of High-Rank Heaven Stage or above, it was truly horrifying.
“Yes, now is not the time to explain; we must hurry and leave. Otherwise, once that swarm of mice gets out, none of us will survive!”
Having experienced the terror of those bizarre mice, Ling Jue urged them urgently.
“Father, Brother Xia Liu is very powerful. If it’s just those mice, he will definitely be able to eliminate them,” said Ling Shiyu with a bitter tone, seeing the state her father was in.
“Shiyu, the terror of that swarm of mice is beyond your imagination. Even Daoist Fellow Xia wouldn’t stand a chance against them. Let’s run quickly…”
