Between heaven and earth, there is yin and yang; black and white. Yang represented fire, which had a searing heat that could burn anything. Yin represented water, balefulness. Yin could become a powerful baleful energy that would enter the body, resulting in death by freezing.

Qingfeng Li remembered what Dark Night Emperor had once told him. True-Yin Baleful Energy was an extremely valuable substance found only on planets where Sages resided. It would never have formed on ordinary planets.

Now, ma.s.sive amounts of True-Yin Baleful Energy had appeared on this dead planet. Could it be that this was once the home of a Saint? Otherwise, how could one explain this?

In addition, this ma.s.sive planet was located inside the Bronze Sarcophagus. This meant that the Bronze Sarcophagus was a powerful Saint level item in its own right, one that held a ma.s.sive s.p.a.ce within. Otherwise, it would never have been able to withstand this ma.s.sive planet.

At this moment, the expressions on the faces of Qingfeng Li, Huozhu Chi, and Linglong Xue all grew grim. They now knew that they had arrived on the planet of a Saint. This was no longer the Crimson Fire Continent. This place was dangerous.

Linglong Xue glanced at Qingfeng Li. "Should we stay here and try to find a way back? Or go forward?" she asked.

Qingfeng Li thought for a moment. "We were drawn here by the green light from the Bronze Sarcophagus," he said. "We have no way of knowing where the exit was. Let's go forward and see what's here."

With that, Qingfeng Li led the way ahead. Linglong Xue followed immediately after.

Behind them, Huozhu Chi's expression underwent a slight change. He'd realized by now that Qingfeng Li and Linglong Xue had formed an alliance. For the time being, he didn't dare to make a move against Qingfeng Li.

He knew that, with his trump card, he might be able to defeat Qingfeng Li. However, he was no match for both him and Linglong Xue.

Of course, this was all in his head. Even if Huozhu Chi were to use up all his trump cards, he would still be no match for Qingfeng Li, who had the Chaos treasure that was the Black-and-White Millstone hidden in his mind-s.p.a.ce that he'd never used.

Qingfeng Li and Linglong Xue walked quickly. In just a short while, they'd walked for over a thousand meters. Naturally, they both noticed Huozhu Chi, who trailed behind them. But Qingfeng Li didn't pay it much mind.

Although deep down, Qingfeng Li really wanted to kill Huozhu Chi right now, he also knew that this planet of death was full of hidden dangers.

If he and Huozhu Chi were to fight one another, it would be a battle of life and death. They would no doubt both sustain injuries and, maybe, some creature would even suddenly appear and kill them both. That's why Qingfeng Li held back for the time being. He needed to check out what this dead planet held first.

There were far too many bones here. Each step they took cracked more of the bleached bones underfoot. These bones had once belonged to all kinds of lifeforms. Together, the sight was enough to make anyone tremble inwardly.

Suddenly, Qingfeng Li stopped dead in his tracks. He focused his attention on his ears and listened closely. His immense mana energy had already picked up the presence of a mysterious energy hidden not far ahead of them. However, this energy was very weak.

Linglong Xue frowned, a hint of uncertainty appearing in her blood-red eyes. "Why did you stop?" she asked.

Qingfeng Li held out a finger before his lips. "Shh…" he warned quietly. "Don't talk. Listen. Isn't there a weeping sound in the air?"

Linglong Xue, too, focused on her hearing. After a moment, she shook her head. "I don't hear any weeping."

Qingfeng Li glanced at her, not replying. He knew that his spirit energy had reached the ninth level of the monarch realm. This, along with the powerful spirit energy techniques he practiced, was the reason only he could hear the weeping, and Linglong Xue and Huozhu Chi could not.

Huozhu Chi caught up to them from behind. "Stop jumping at shadows," he chided at Qingfeng Li. "What, are you trying to scare us by telling us there's some sound? Where? I don't hear anything. Look around. This is a dead planet. There are only bones and more bones. What else could there possibly be?"

Qingfeng Li paid no attention to Huozhu Chi. To him, it really didn't matter whether Huozhu Chi was here or not. He didn't take him seriously at all.

Seeing the way Qingfeng Li was ignoring him infuriated Huozhu Chi. However, there was nothing he could do. Just as he was about to mock him some more, his expression suddenly changed.

Ahead of them, there appeared a figure, a figure made of black baleful energy fog.
