Chapter 973: Entering the Myriad Immortal Monument

"Is there someone named Kenny Lin among them?" Amalia asked, holding on to a faint hope.

The evil cultivator shook his head. "I don’t know. I don’t know anyone named Kenny Lin. By the time I found this place, everyone from the various sects had already entered. Whoever you’re looking for is probably inside."

Amalia guessed the same. Whether Kenny Lin was like her or not, the Myriad Immortal Monument had the greatest reputation. Both sides would likely assume the other was inside the Monument.

Seeing her fall into thought, the evil cultivator secretly shifted his position, and while she was distracted, he leaped up and quickly fled.

Amalia ignored him. If he wanted to run, then let him. She sheathed her sword and approached the Myriad Immortal Monument, without hesitation, taking out the gold token.

Kenny Lin only had the gold token, so she knew she would have to use the same token to enter. She didn’t know if the exit from different tokens would be the same, but to be safe, she decided to enter using the same token as him.

As soon as the gold token touched the Myriad Immortal Monument, a door appeared, simultaneously pulling her in.

When she saw the exit, Amalia grabbed the floating gold token and was immediately pulled into a dark passage.

A sinister face suddenly appeared before her.

Amalia immediately swung her sword, and the strike drew on the power of heaven and earth.

Before the owner of the monstrous face could let out a scream, they vanished, accompanied by a soft "ding" as a blue orb fell by her feet.

Amalia didn’t immediately pick it up, as more eerie soul bodies rushed toward her.

With a slash of her sword, several of them fell, and several more orbs dropped with a thud.

Her strength had improved significantly since she had been outside the Myriad Immortal Monument, especially in her ability to wield her powers. She was even a little surprised at how proficient she had become.

However, she quickly relaxed, understanding why this had happened.

During her time in the tomb, although she had been forced, she had ultimately gained from it, as all her insights had turned into experience, making her blade technique far more refined.

Hundreds of wandering soul were quickly scared off, and the rest fled.

Amalia guessed that these were likely the wandering souls the old lady had mentioned—without bodies, they just semi-solid soul forms.

The spirit took on both human and beast shapes, and without exception, they all had blue faces and sharp fangs.

She collected the dozens of orbs that had fallen to the ground and quickly confirmed that these orbs could be absorbed to enhance her strength. Before long, the dozens of blue orbs turned to dust, and the energy inside was absorbed into her body.

Amalia immediately felt her cultivation noticeably increase, and she was soon able to break through to the early of Soul Formation stage.

"If this keeps up, absorbing more of these blue orbs should allow me to break through to the next stage, but first, I should find Kenny. I wonder if he’s gone mad after realizing she’s not here."

Amalia muttered softly as she brushed the dust from her fingertips and moved forward.

Not far from her position, near a palace, a tense standoff was unfolding.

The side hall was eerily quiet, with only the occasional howls of the wandering souls outside.

"The prophecy might come true, so be cautious. The first one to act will likely be the Demonic Night Palace. Keep your guard up."

"We understand," three people replied, nodding.

At this moment, Songji Yan, who had been sizing them up with ill intentions, suddenly smiled.

"I think Brother Hou’s suggestion is quite good. If we join forces, we might be able to break through."

Jinhwa Hou was surprised. "This guy’s acting differently than I expected. What’s he trying to pull?"

"Although those wandering souls say they’ll let one person through if we gather two hundred black tokens, who knows if they’re telling the truth? What if they’re just trying to trick us into killing each other or getting us to hand over our tokens? Then, once they have the tokens, they’ll kill us all," Songji Yan squinted, analyzing.

Jiheon Yang glanced at them, then sneered. "I agree with Brother Yan. The stronger the wandering souls, the more cunning and treacherous they are. They must be hoping to see us fight among ourselves and fall into their trap. Once we’ve weakened each other, they can strike with ease."

"This is suspicious—too suspicious," Jinhwa Hou said, his face unchanged as he sent a message to Renshu Chang and the others. "The more they act like they’re working together, the more problematic this is."

"Really? But I thought they seemed quite sincere," Junior Brother Hsu said, a little surprised.

Jinhwa Hou sneered. "A dog can’t stop eating shit. Do you expect them to change? It’s easier to pray for someone to come rescue us."

"Then what should we do now? Should we refuse and directly turn on them?"

"Let’s pretend to agree for now. We just need to be careful," Renshu Chang said, then sent a message to Jiheon Yang and Songji Yan. "I agree with your proposal. Here’s the plan: Three of you in the early stages of Soul Formation cultivation should lead the charge. With your combined strength, you should be able to break through. The rest of us will follow quickly. We should have no trouble making our way out, and once we leave the side hall, we’ll scatter and escape. There’s no need to fight these wandering souls to the death."

"Okay, I agree," Jiheon Yang said without hesitation, exchanging a subtle glance with Songji Yan.

"I agree too," Songji Yan said with a smile.

"Renshu Chang, I’m now 100% sure they’ve secretly joined forces. How about we make a bet?" Jinhwa Hou smirked.

"No bet. I already know they’ve joined forces," Renshu Chang replied calmly. The two thought their actions were very subtle, but little did they know, that Renshu Chang had already seen through it all.

"Ah, what a pity," Jinhwa Hou said helplessly. Having a clever junior brother really takes the fun out of things.

Renshu Chang glanced at Junior Brother Hsu and Senior Brother Dai, who had just been nervous, understanding that Jinhwa Hou was just trying to lighten the mood, so he didn’t say anything more.

"Let’s go. Everyone stay alert. It looks like we’re in for a tough fight ahead."
