Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 1001 - 896: Totally Screwed Over

"I'll wait for her to find the location of the Youquan Ice Flower, then I'll ambush her!"His eyes flickered for a moment as he considered that if they truly found the Youquan Ice Flower, even if he didn't plot against Yu Man, Yu Man would certainly plot against them.

At that moment, he felt his side should take the initiative.

Thus, under Yu Man's guidance, they continued to move forward step by step.

They couldn't tell how far they had traveled. Along the way, although they encountered the Ghostly Evil Infantry, they suppressed their Life Aura early on, preventing the enemy from detecting their presence.

Having successfully avoided the Ghostly Evil Infantry, they then encountered the Ghostly Evil Cavalry.

Luckily, despite those Ghostly Evil Cavalry being incredibly fast, they soon heard the cavalry's horses neighing and the ground trembling.

They had already suppressed their Life Aura early on, not releasing any heat, which was why the Ghostly Evil Cavalry couldn't detect their traces.

Although Gu Xiaoyue and the others had expected this journey to be fraught with danger, they hadn't anticipated encountering the most perilous Ghostly Evil Cavalry and Ghostly Evil Infantry.

Fortunately, they hadn't been forced into a direct confrontation.

They all knew that if they clashed with those two Ghostly Evil forces, their fate would be sealed.

The others were deeply intrigued by Yu Man's true background; they were surprised that the Ascension Academy housed someone so familiar with this place.

At the moment, someone speculated that Yu Man was likely from the Divine World.

Time passed slowly.

Two hours later, under Yu Man's guidance, they arrived at a location full of mounds standing up, resembling buns in shape.

Looking at the mounds ahead, Gu Xiaoyue's curiosity was immediately piqued, and she asked, "What are these mounds? Why are there so many almost uniformly standing mounds here?"

Yu Man replied with a smile, "Under these mounds are graves with soldiers who died in the past. This area was once a battlefield where many soldiers perished tragically. The survivors buried their corpses here, and over time, this place became terrifying as those corpses changed! It is said that the Ghostly Evil Infantry and Ghostly Evil Cavalry belonged to two different nations' soldiers who fought each other in life, and formed two powerful opposing forces after death!"

"I see!"

Gu Xiaoyue and the others finally understood the origins of the Ghostly Evil Infantry and Ghostly Evil Cavalry earlier.

"If we destroy this place, do you think those Ghostly Evils would vanish?"

Gu Xiaoyue suddenly asked enthusiastically.

"No, it is said that their bodies are not buried here but in a secret location, buried with their General. Many have tried to find the Ghostly Evil Infantry or Ghostly Evil Cavalry's lair but failed! To this day, nobody has found their lair!"

Yu Man explained.

"I see!"

Gu Xiaoyue and the others sighed with relief, allowing Yu Man to continue leading the way.

Duan Gujin released his Divine Sense, sensing the residual eerie aura emanating from within the mounds ahead, lingering around them.

"Did you sense the eerie aura emanating from the mound ahead? I'll tell you, that's the form Ghostly Evils take before fully forming. Once they are fully formed, they will become akin to the Ghostly Evil Cavalry or Infantry we encountered earlier!"

Yu Man noticed Duan Gujin sensed the eerie aura ahead and began explaining.

"Oh!"

Duan Gujin nodded slightly, his mind racing as he pondered Yu Man's evidently complex identity.

"She's really familiar with this place!"

He smirked inwardly and allowed Yu Man to continue leading the path.

Everyone prepared for battle, and under Yu Man's guidance, they continued moving forward.

They passed through many mounds, quickly arriving at a massive crack.

Staring at the gigantic crack, Gu Xiaoyue was immediately puzzled.

"Sister Yu, you wouldn't be telling us that the Youquan Ice Flower is down there, would you?"

"Yes, my Compass senses it is down there. Let me tell everyone, this Pointing Compass can only sense if there's a Youquan beneath a location; it can't sense if there's truly a Youquan Ice Flower nearby! But the Youquan Ice Flower can only grow near a Youquan — that's a fact. As long as we follow this Compass's direction, we might find the Youquan Ice Flower!"

Yu Man replied.

Gu Xiaoyue and the others were dumbfounded upon hearing her response; they had thought that following Yu Man would quickly lead them to the Youquan Ice Flower.

Only then did they realize that the Compass Yu Man held could only determine the general location of a Youquan.

Whether they could eventually find the Youquan Ice Flower depended on their luck!

Gu Xiaoyue's small face paled, and if she hadn't already followed Yu Man here, she certainly wouldn't have participated in this exploration.

"We've been thoroughly fooled!"

Everyone thought similarly; they glanced at Yu Man with a flash of resentment in their eyes.

But that flash of light only appeared in their eyes for a moment before vanishing.

They knew they couldn't act out here, fearing Yu Man would abandon them, leaving them to perish without a trace!

The current situation had them aboard a metaphorical pirate ship, with no way off temporarily; they had no choice but to move forward with it.

Gu Xiaoyue and others had engaged Yu Man before, knowing her Combat Power was formidable.

Unless all four joined forces to swiftly capture Yu Man, she would escape from their grip.

Yu Man didn't need to eliminate them herself; she just needed to flee far away, leaving them stranded here.

Gu Xiaoyue and the others were effectively blind, uncertain of their exact position in this place; if they roamed here, they'd simply get lost.

Should they encounter the dreaded two Ghostly Evil forces, their fate would be sealed.

They sighed deeply; they could only swallow their complaints toward Yu Man silently, gritting their teeth and enduring it.

"So, what should we do now? Should everyone go down, or should some stay behind?"

Duan Gujin asked.

"Everyone should go down together; no need for anyone to watch over here!" Yu Man replied with a smile.
