True Martial World - Chapter 1173

Chapter 1173

This is…

Yi Yun instantly drew his pure Yang broken sword . The distorted human faces were identical to the one Yi Yun had seen in Dong Xiaowan's body!

Without a doubt, Dong Xiaowan had been possessed by one of these .

Although Yi Yun had the Purple Crystal which could suppress these evil entities, there were thousands, if not tens of thousands, of these evil entities lurking underground . If they all chose to rush him at once, wouldn't he be doomed no matter how strong he was?

He reluctantly retreated, but only made it a few steps before he stopped . He realized that the faces hidden beneath the ground did not move . Some of the human faces had hideous expressions, but others were in a state of deep sleep . Their faces were grayish-white and their eyes were tightly shut . Some even had faces covered in wrinkles like a dried corpse .

Yi Yun pondered for a moment, then held his breath as he tried to close the distance . He approached from the sky gradually .

He circled a gigantic building and finally saw the area where these evil entities lurked .

It was a cemetery that stretched out to the horizon!

There were gray rocks that were the remains of crumbled tombstones . There were shattered slabs scattered everywhere, with some half buried . The text on the tombstones had been worn away, making them impossible to date .

The giant, dilapidated city had an abandoned cemetery with evil entities lurking within the ancient graves…

Yi Yun found the whole situation suspicious .

What had happened here?

At that moment, Yi Yun was flying a thousand meters above the cemetery . Although he wanted to fully probe the area, he did not dare descend . It was too great a risk . If the evil entities were to collectively awaken and charge at him together, he might be swallowed whole, not even leaving a drop of blood .

But if he were to leave, then what was the point of coming to the ruin?

Yi Yun was in a dilemma .

He knew very clearly that the smart choice was to leave . At that point in time, there was nothing to gain from being here, just as Dong Xiaowan said . There was only strangeness and curses . However, Yi Yun had a nagging feeling that he would miss out on something big if he left now .

Yi Yun hovered in mid-air for a very long period of time before he began to slowly descend . Yi Yun descended a foot at a time in an extremely careful manner . He took a total of fifteen minutes to make it halfway to the ground .

However, at that moment, Yi Yun witnessed something that alarmed him .

He saw a white-dressed female standing calmly in front of a rundown tomb in the endless gray-colored cemetery .

She looked like she was in her twenties and did not exude the aura of an expert . In that respect, she was like an ordinary mortal girl, but her disposition was like that of an empyrean from the ninth heaven . She was like an orchid blooming on an iceberg, aloof and noble . It prevented anyone from having any thoughts of desecrating her .

Who is she!?

Yi Yun felt an upheaval of emotions . He had been carefully observing the entire cemetery to prevent the evil entities from sneaking up on him . However, he had not seen this woman .

The woman seemed to appear out of nowhere, but her calm and peaceful demeanor made it seem like she had been standing there all along, experiencing great periods of time .

Was she a ghost?

Yi Yun stopped descending and watched the woman intently . He circulated every bit of his Yuan Qi . For a white-dressed female to suddenly appear in the middle of a cemetery filled with evil entities, it would make anyone have trouble remaining calm .

However, the woman's disposition was otherworldly, like a divine goddess from heaven . It made it seem like she had nothing to do with the abnormality of the land .

"You can come down . The evil entities here will not harm you . I will not harm you either . "

The woman spoke softly . Her voice was ethereal and pleasant . It was like an immortal tune coming from the heavens, but she was using an ancient language that Yi Yun had never heard . More strangely, he was able to understand everything she said . It was as though the meaning was communicated to him instantly when her voice reached his mind .

Yi Yun hesitated for a moment . Having encountered such a strange situation, any rational person would not easily believe the woman's words . However, Yi Yun's instincts told him that the woman wasn't an evil entity . It was indicated both by her aura and the projection seen through the Purple Crystal's energy vision .

Yi Yun took a deep breath as he clenched his pure Yang broken sword and landed about hundred feet away from the white-dressed female .

The woman had a faint luster exuding from her body . It seemed like she had condensed the essence of the starlight and moonlight . Her dress was as white as snow, and it contrasted heavily with the gray world around her . Thus, although she was standing in the middle of an abandoned cemetery, Yi Yun felt that she stood independent from the world, as if she was in an alternate space-time dimension .

The woman glanced at Yi Yun with eyes that beamed with infinite divine light . The instant she saw Yi Yun, she revealed a puzzled look . At the same time, a clear and cold voice entered Yi Yun's ears . "Your aura… seems familiar . "

Familiar?

Yi Yun was certain that he did not know the mysterious woman .

The woman quickly calmed once more as she lightly said, "It's just a hint of something familiar . But you shouldn't know her so do not worry about it . "

The woman's words left Yi Yun befuddled from beginning to end .

However, he believed that the cultivation level of the woman in front of him was unfathomable . There was no way her sense of familiarity with him was a mistake . Where could that sense of familiarity stem from?

"Senior, I wonder who…" Yi Yun cupped his hands and asked . The woman seemed like she could return to wherever she came from with the wind at any time . She did not seem like she belonged to this world . Yi Yun didn't even know if she was human .

"There is no need for you to know my name…" The white-dressed female shook her head . "You are around sixty years of age, yet you can sense the secrets hidden beneath this cemetery . I'm curious as to how . "

The moment the white-dressed female spoke, Yi Yun's heart clammed up . The woman had managed to accurately determine his age with one look and asked a question about something he kept secret . Yi Yun felt like this woman could see right through him .

"There is no need for you to feel nervous . I have no ill intentions toward you . It's just that you seem to have had some unique experiences . As a product of them, and your hard work, your strength seems to far exceed other warriors at your level . You remind me of someone…"

"Senior, who do you speak of?" Yi Yun held his breath . The woman's sharp intuition left him uneasy, as if she could see through everything .

How strong was such a person?

Yi Yun suddenly realized that there were too many experts that he did not know of in this world . Their realms far exceeded his imagination .

Upon hearing Yi Yun's inquiry, the white-dressed female sighed slightly . Her eyes seemed to be looking very far away as if she was lost in a long thought . "Someone I know . You resemble him a lot…"

Him?

Yi Yun frowned slightly . The white-dressed female's words were filled with mystery . At first, she referred to a 'her' and now it was 'him' . Yi Yun was completely at a loss as to who the white-dressed female might be referring to .

"My name is Divine Dream . "

The white-dressed female suddenly gave her name before nonchalantly turning around .

Yi Yun was taken aback momentarily . He originally thought that she would not tell him her name, but she had so suddenly given it to him .

Divine Dream?

In the canonical books that he had read, he did not recall such a name .
