spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The four of them felt increasingly bitter, and their unease grew stronger.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""If they had known that it would be like this, why had they tried to show off on the Divine Demon Staircase?

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""But there was no cure for regret in this world, so all they could do was follow Lin Ying.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""In Su Jingzhen's vision, some intact structures gradually appeared.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""However, these structures had a rather eerie, underworldly feel to them-they were all stone tombs.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The sword intent emanating from these tombs became increasingly sharp and deep.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Occasionally, Su Jingzhen and the others could even see faint residual souls sitting on some of the tombstones.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""In this part of the Sword Qi Corridor, the remnant souls had little consciousness; they were merely dull energy entities.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Besides, their auras weren't very strong, so Su Jingzhen and the others weren't too interested in these sword sages.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""However, their expressions became more serious.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The presence of tombs with remnant souls indicated that they had entered the middle layer of the Sword Qi Corridor.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Beyond this area was the core region, where the resting places of the Immortal Lord level and above were located.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The truly valuable legacies and treasures were there.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""But the middle layer was also where they were most likely to encounter other teams. Although the space was vast, the further they went, the more it narrowed.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""At this moment, Su Jingzhen and the others suddenly turned their gazes backwards.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""They saw more than a dozen streaks of light rapidly approaching from that direction.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Their expressions immediately turned serious.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Even though they were fellow disciples, once they entered the Sword Qi Corridor, they all became rivals. There was no telling who might stab them in the back.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The streaks of light stopped, and the figures inside were revealed.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""To Su Jingzhen's surprise, it was someone he knew: Jian Xin!

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Seeing the newcomers, Lin Ying and the others relaxed a bit.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""At least there was no conflict with Jian Xin; in fact, they were quite familiar with him.

spanfont-weight:" 400"="""So it's Senior Sister Lin Ying. Why are you still here? You're a bit behind.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Many senior brothers and sisters have already entered the central area," Jian Xin said with a smile.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Upon hearing this, Lin Ying frowned slightly.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Their entry point hadn't been ideal this time.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Some lucky ones had landed directly in the middle layer, allowing them to quickly reach the central area and seize the initiative.

spanfont-weight:" 400"="""Junior Brother Jian Xin, why are you still here? The opportunities in the front areas are clearly more abundant,"

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Lin Ying asked with a smile.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Jian Xin shook his head and chuckled.

spanfont-weight:" 400"="""I'm still inexperienced, and my strength is not enough to compete in the central area. It's better for me to wander around the mid-level and look for opportunities that are suitable for me and my companions."

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Jian Xin's talent was exceptional, otherwise he wouldn't have been the leader during the Divine Shepherd Realm trial.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""However, compared to Lin Ying and the others, his experience was indeed somewhat lacking.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Lin Ying nodded, even though she didn't entirely believe Jian Xin's explanation.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Everyone had their own secrets, and what Jian Xin was doing here was none of her concern.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""However, the information he brought with him was crucial to her.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""After exchanging a few more words, Lin Ying led Su Jingzhen and the others forward again, this time at a faster pace.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Although she believed that she was the only one who could resonate with the Shadow Immortal Spirit Body, it was better to be safe than sorry.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""If someone else got there first, there would be no reasoning with fate.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""As for Su Jingzhen, entering the central area didn't conflict with his goals, so he had no objection to Lin Ying's arrangements.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the tombs in Su Jingzhen's vicinity became increasingly luxurious.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The residual souls sitting on these tombs also became more powerful, and some of them even emitted aura at the level of Spirit Immortals.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""These were just remnant souls-if they had such aura, one could only imagine how powerful they had been in life.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Gaining recognition of these souls would grant access to their legacies, which were already quite impressive.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""This sight stirred the hearts of the other four, but they knew that they had no chance of obtaining the legacies of these sword sages in the Sword Qi Corridor.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Meanwhile, Lin Ying grew increasingly excited, and her aura became more and more elusive.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""It seemed that she could already sense the call of the Shadow Immortal Spirit Body.

spanfont-weight:" 400"="""It's right in front of us. Fellow Daoist Zou, Fellow Daoist Qiu, when I begin to obtain the Shadow Immortal Spirit Body, there will inevitably be unexpected events. I'll need you to protect me,"

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Lin Ying solemnly said to Su Jingzhen.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Su Jingzhen nodded silently. "Don't worry."

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""After another half-incense stick's worth of time, they finally entered the central area of the Sword Qi Corridor.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Along the way, they encountered more than a dozen teams, but Hong Yu, who had been targeting them, was nowhere to be seen.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""None of the teams caused any trouble, as Su Jingzhen's fighting prowess had been witnessed by all upon their arrival in Sword Land.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Without any grudges, no one wanted to provoke him.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Lin Ying smoothly led Su Jingzhen and the others to a massive and luxurious stone tomb.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""On the tombstone was a single large character: Shadow!

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Above the tombstone, there was a mass of black mist that emitted a True Immortal-level aura.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Clearly, this tomb was Lin Ying's ultimate goal.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Her expression was one of fervor and awe.

spanfont-weight:" 400"="""This is the location of the Shadow Immortal Spirit Body. I can feel it calling to me.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""This tomb belongs to the Shadow Sword Immortal, a great figure from ten thousand years ago in Sword Land!"

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Lin Ying explained to Su Jingzhen and the others.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""As she spoke, her aura became strange once again.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Although she was close to Su Jingzhen and the others, she felt distant, as if she didn't exist.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Her aura was almost identical to the black mist above the tomb.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Seeing this, Su Jingzhen was once again shocked.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""He was now certain that Lin Ying would indeed receive the Shadow Immortal's Shadow Sword Immortal spirit body.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The similarity in their auras indicated a deep connection.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""What a great opportunity!

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""At this moment, Su Jingzhen wasn't in a hurry to find Zhang Xiu.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""What Zhang Xiu was going through was similar to what Lin Ying was about to do.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""He had to observe first. Otherwise, even if he wanted to help Zhang Xiu, he wouldn't know how to do it.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""At this moment, Lin Ying's gaze fell on a white-robed young man behind her.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""A charming smile appeared on her lips as she softly said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, I know that you have some expertise in formations. Could you help me inspect the formation at the Shadow Sword Immortal's tomb?"

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Her sudden kindness caught the young man surnamed Ye off guard. Before he could respond, Lin Ying added, "I know Fellow Daoist Ye won't refuse me."

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Meanwhile, Su Jingzhen scoffed inwardly. The cannon fodder was finally about to serve its purpose.
