My Brilliant CEO Wife

"That black-clothed woman didn't come in together with us. Could it be that she entered here earlier and has been staying in this place all along?"

Chu Yan's beautiful eyes flickered as she pondered seriously.

"Hard to say. If my guess is right, this Holy Land was never left behind by Feng Wudao. With Feng Wudao's cultivation, the forbidden ground he set up could never have attracted such a powerful expert here!"

Yun Hao shook his head, a trace of doubt appearing in his eyes.

Since it wasn't left by Feng Wudao, then what exactly is going on with this Holy Land?

Why does it exist?

"Could that black-clothed woman's cultivation be the legendary Divine Realm?"

Chu Yan hesitated for a moment and lightly voiced the doubt in her heart.

"Most likely. Otherwise I wouldn't have lost in a single move. Even if it was Su Jiuzi or Xing Tian, I wouldn't fear them. Let's get out of here first!"

Yun Hao nodded. After regulating his breathing a bit, he took Chu Yan's hand and continued quickly toward the entrance to the third trial.

Along the way, a large number of headless corpses suddenly appeared, each corpse covered with many sword wounds.

Looking at these corpses of unknown time of death before them, Chu Yan gripped Yun Hao's hand tightly, a hint of fear rising in her heart.

The range of this second trial was truly too large, so large that Yun Hao and Chu Yan felt like they had been walking for a century before they finally saw the entrance to the third trial directly ahead.

However, at the same time, they also saw two groups fighting up ahead.

"Ye Wuqing, today is your death day!"

Li Zhan and Xing Tian attacked Ye Wuqing together, their shouts and killing intent so loud that even Yun Hao and Chu Yan, who were still several thousand meters away, could hear them clearly.

"Hmph, just you two pieces of trash think you can harm this young master? You're really overestimating yourselves!"

Ye Wuqing snorted coldly. He suddenly retreated rapidly, grabbed a silver needle in his hand, and ruthlessly stabbed it into the back of Celestial Venerable Qilin's head behind him.

As the silver needle sank in, Celestial Venerable Qilin seemed to go berserk, charging straight toward Li Zhan opposite him!

"Crooked-path sorcery. You think just because you refined a Corpse Puppet you can be invincible?"

Xing Tian shouted angrily, then his figure drifted backward. While Li Zhan at his side had yet to react, Xing Tian slapped a palm onto Li Zhan's shoulder, sending Li Zhan's body stumbling forward.

And it was this sudden move that caused Li Zhan to fall straight into Celestial Venerable Qilin's arms.

Celestial Venerable Qilin stretched out both hands, viciously clamping down on Li Zhan's neck and giving it a hard twist.

Crack!

Li Zhan's head was twisted off. Celestial Venerable Qilin quickly hugged Li Zhan's head and started gnawing on it, like some sort of anteater.

As for Li Zhan's body, it was hurled heavily to the ground, just like those headless corpses Yun Hao and Chu Yan had seen. The only difference was that Li Zhan's corpse bore no blade marks!

"Hahaha, Young Master Wuqing, after your Corpse Puppet devours Li Zhan, its combat strength must have skyrocketed again, right?"

Xing Tian kicked Li Zhan's corpse in disdain, then walked forward, laughing loudly as he spoke to Ye Wuqing.

"I have you to thank for that, Brother Xing Tian. Don't worry, once we pass the fifth trial, Feng Wudao's inheritance will be yours. I only want the Corpse Refining Sect's inheritance!"

Ye Wuqing cupped his fists politely toward Xing Tian.

"Hahaha, let's go. That old codger Su Jiuzi has already entered the third trial!"

Xing Tian and Ye Wuqing let out a hearty laugh and headed toward the entrance to the third trial.

Mad, I knew you two were colluding!

Yun Hao cursed inwardly, gently pulling Chu Yan closer as he casually set up a Barrier in front of them, not rushing forward to check things out.

Not long after, two graceful figures appeared; it was Feng Yin and Zhao Ya.

The two arrived at the spot where Li Zhan had died, seemingly inspecting something.

"Li Zhan, come out. I know your Primordial Spirit isn't dead yet. Don't force me to destroy your Primordial Spirit!"

Feng Yin shouted coldly, looking at a corpse not far from Li Zhan's body. The longsword in her hand shone with flowing light, cold glints flickering nonstop.

"Feng Yin, what are you trying to do?"

As Feng Yin's voice fell, a blurry figure floated out from that corpse—it was Li Zhan's Primordial Spirit, though he looked somewhat weak.

"Nothing much, I just want to make a deal with you. When we reach the fourth trial, you help us cross that Bridge of No Return. In return, we'll help you kill Xing Tian and Ye Wuqing and avenge you!"

Feng Yin spoke lightly, the killing intent on her body vaguely locking onto Li Zhan.

"How do you know I have a way to cross the Bridge of No Return?"

Although Li Zhan was in Primordial Spirit form, his cultivation was still very powerful. The reason his physical body was destroyed in one move by the Corpse Puppet just now was simply because he hadn't expected Xing Tian to suddenly betray him and screw him over.

"How I know isn't something you need to worry about. Are you taking this deal or not?"

Feng Yin shook her head, clearly not intending to tell Li Zhan.

"Do I even have a better choice?"

Li Zhan glanced at the longsword in Feng Yin's hand and at Zhao Ya, who stood silently to the side yet whose cultivation made him feel fear. His eyes flickered continuously before he finally countered with a question.

"Then let me congratulate us on a happy cooperation in advance!"

Feng Yin seemed to have long known he would choose this way. She cupped her fists and said a line, then the three followed the path Ye Wuqing and the others had taken.

Only after the three figures disappeared into the entrance of the third trial did Yun Hao lead Chu Yan over to Li Zhan's corpse.

"Weird, really weird. How did that kid Celestial Venerable Qilin end up being refined into a Corpse Puppet by Ye Wuqing? It can actually kill Li Zhan. This kind of combat power is practically against the heavens!"

Yun Hao shook his head, an expression of utter bafflement on his face.

"Husband, don't think too much. Let's follow them and take a look, then we'll know. Besides, even if we wanted to go back now, it'd be very difficult!"

Chu Yan gently rubbed Yun Hao's furrowed brows with her small hand, speaking softly.

"True, my wife is still the one making sense. But before we enter this third trial, I think you should take this pill first. Every part of this place reeks of weirdness. This is an Elixir I refined; when danger comes, it can instantly give you enough Immortal Yuan to replenish your body!"

Yun Hao took out an Elixir from his chest and, as if feeding a child, personally watched Chu Yan swallow it.

"Not good, run!"

All of a sudden, Yun Hao grabbed Chu Yan's small hand. With a single teleport, they vanished from where they stood and appeared at the entrance to the third trial, stepping through without another word.

Even though they were already incredibly fast, they were still struck by a streak of flowing light from behind.

As soon as they entered the third trial, they didn't have time to even glance around. Yun Hao grabbed Chu Yan and ran for their lives.

And at the very instant the two of them disappeared, a black-clothed silhouette appeared at the entrance to the third trial—it was the black-clothed woman they had fought in the palace.
