Chapter 59

Everyone, have a happy Minor New Year!

Glancing at her daughter Yanran, Meilin Li felt a sense of crisis and responsibility.

No matter what, she had to capture Lin Qing and make him the protector of her and her daughter.

Meilin Li hurried off to take care of things.

Following Lin Qing, Master Kongzhi, Song Yuanqiao, and the couple He Taichong, they rushed deep into the secret passage of Bright Peak.

They were very surprised that Song Qingshu was so familiar with this place.

They had no idea that Lin Qing had spent three whole days wandering around here, and with the map's guidance, he was now well-versed in the layout.

The direction he was heading was the nearest... the tomb of the leader of the Ming Cult!

That's right!

Lin Qing's plan was to awaken the leader of the Ming Cult!

He would use these terrifying undead beings to attack the Ming Cult members entering the secret passage!

According to the Ming Cult's doctrines, only the successive leaders knew the true purpose of this secret passage, and they were unaware that the leaders were buried here.

They also did not know the power of these mummified leaders.

The only problem was that luring these powerful mummies required taking some risks.

Lin Qing galloped to the nearest tomb, where the door was engraved with the character "Fire."

"We're here!" Lin Qing panted. "I need the best lightness expert to stand at the door, jump down, and trigger the resurrection of the Ming Cult leader buried inside, then find an exit, which might be at the top."

He looked around and indeed found the exit on the shaded side.

In this high-difficulty dungeon, every trap was not a certain death, and there was always an exit for adventurers to escape. However, leaping ten zhang high was not something ordinary adventurers could do.

Master Kongzhi, Song Yuanqiao, and He Taichong exchanged glances.

What was Song Qingshu up to this time?

But time was pressing, and they had no time to ask.

Song Yuanqiao stepped forward and said solemnly, "I'll go first."

Lin Qing, somewhat uneasy, lowered a rope from the cave entrance, which he had obtained from the Emei Sect. Many martial artists carried such ropes.

This rope would serve as Song Yuanqiao's escape route and also the path for the mummy to come up.

Song Yuanqiao nodded and stood on the door.

The mechanical gears creaked, and Song Yuanqiao was transported into the cave.

Seeing Song Qingshu's familiarity with the place, Master Kongzhi praised, "Indeed, Young Master Song is a master of strategy..."

Lin Qing didn't wait for the flattery to finish and said decisively, "Please take your positions immediately. Once my father lures the mummy to resurrect, we will pull the rope to bring the Ming Cult leader up. It is now a mummy, without consciousness, and will attack anyone it sees. However, its martial arts are extremely high, and we must guide it into the Ming Cult members to create enough chaos and hinder their pursuit."

Kongzhi and the others' eyes gleamed.

Soon, they heard Song Yuanqiao's cry from the cave, along with the sound of the Wudang Sect's Tiyunzong lightness skill.

Lin Qing and the others immediately pulled the rope.

Song Yuanqiao used Tiyunzong to come up and shouted, "The monster is coming! Qingshu, hurry, lead the way. The four of us will take turns luring it into the Ming Cult pursuers!"

He Taichong laughed heartily, "Brilliant plan! Brilliant plan! Using the Ming Cult leader to deal with the Ming Cult pursuers! I am utterly impressed by Young Master Song, hahaha!"

Before his laughter faded, they saw a creature that was not human climb out of the cave along the rope.

He Taichong and Ban Shuxian were startled.

Lin Qing took the lead and rushed out.

Time was limited, and they had to act immediately.

Following his memory, he suddenly rushed to where the Ming Cult pursuers and the rear guard were in fierce battle.

Master Kongzhi, Song Yuanqiao, and the couple He Taichong followed behind, taking turns to lure the mummy towards Lin Qing.

If the Ming Cult leader were still alive, its agility and reflexes would have been over 50, reaching the level of a top martial artist.

After all, every Ming Cult leader was a top expert in the cult, and saying they were top martial artists in the world would not be an exaggeration.

Although the righteous sects' experts were formidable, they could not compare to such super-class experts.

Fortunately, the mummy's agility had dropped to 20 points, and it had no intelligence, only attacking anyone it saw. Although Song Yuanqiao and the others had some close calls, they eventually brought the mummy to Lin Qing's position without incident.

Lin Qing looked down and saw the fierce battle below.

Master Kongwen led the long-range experts of the six major sects, continuously attacking the large Ming Cult force with darts, sleeve arrows, stones, and bows, specifically targeting those holding torches. With each scream, the torches were extinguished one by one.

However, the Ming Cult was overwhelming in numbers, with Yang Xiao, White-Browed Eagle King, Qingyi Bat King, the Five Scattered Men, and Zhang Wujie leading the charge, ignoring the flying stones and arrows, and cutting their way into the six major sects.

The long-range disciples of the six major sects suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat while fighting. The situation was extremely dire.

Lin Qing sneered and waved his hand.

Master Kongzhi was the last to control the mummy, using his powerful palm wind to sweep it forward.

The mummy of the Ming Cult leader roared and chased after Master Kongzhi.

Master Kongzhi dodged, and Song Yuanqiao took over with a perfect Tiyunzong.

The Wudang Sect's lightness skill was unparalleled, especially in high-altitude leaping, where Tiyunzong was a masterpiece.

Lin Qing watched with intense interest, thinking he must learn this Tiyunzong, as it would be very useful for both fighting and escaping in the future.

Song Yuanqiao lured the mummy, which roared inhumanly and pursued him.

Song Yuanqiao smiled calmly and drifted towards the Ming Cult crowd.

Their position was chosen by Lin Qing, who deliberately chose a high spot on the Ming Cult's path. Jumping down from here would land right in the middle of the Ming Cult's large force.

Song Yuanqiao drifted to the opposite cliff's high point.

The wide cliff, spanning several zhang, was crossed by his deep inner strength and Tiyunzong, his body as light as a cloud, giving a truly ethereal feeling.

Master Kongzhi praised, "The Wudang Sect's lightness skill is truly unparalleled, just as its reputation suggests."

The mummy did not have such good lightness skill.

It also jumped but lost momentum in mid-air and fell!

Landing in the middle of the Ming Cult's large force!

The Ming Cult, in pursuit of the six major sects, had come out in full force, with people packed tightly together. Unexpectedly, a "Lin Sister" or rather, a mummy, fell from the sky, and dozens of sharp blades immediately attacked this unidentified enemy.

Then, they heard the dull sound of blades cutting through rags.

Then...

The massacre began.

The brainless Ming Cult leader could not recognize its own followers. It only knew that anyone who entered its territory was a desecrator and must be killed without mercy!

Lin Qing even speculated that before these Ming Cult leaders died, they must have taken some unique drugs or parasites to turn their bodies into such terrifying killing machines, serving as permanent guardians of the Ming Cult's secret passage, protecting the forbidden areas of the Ming Cult until their last breath.

The Ming Cult was thrown into chaos.

Since Yang Dingtian died too suddenly, he did not appoint a successor, let alone pass on the information about this place to the next generation. Even Zhang Wujie, under the protagonist's aura, had avoided these terrifying traps and had never seen these Ming Cult leaders!

Thus, the area below quickly turned into a slaughterhouse.

Yang Xiao, White-Browed Eagle King, and others thought that the six major sects had received strong reinforcements and had to immediately return to support, surrounding the mummy.

Only the Surgeon, sensitive to the situation, looked up and saw Lin Qing, who was looking down at him from a high position!

Their eyes met fiercely!

In the air, countless sparks flew.

The Surgeon's eyes blazed with fury.

As a Red Flower Double Staff Gold Adventurer of the Hong Gang, knowing countless plot secrets and having the support of the entire Hong Gang team, he had grand ambitions. Yet, he was now facing a new adventurer who had stumbled into this world, each leading a major martial arts force, and he was the one at a disadvantage!

"This is impossible!" The Surgeon roared, looking at the mummy's attributes and gasping in shock.

"Ming Cult leaders? Damn! Where did this kid get them?" KG exclaimed.

"From those mechanical tombs..." Ganglao closed his eyes in pain.

After a moment, they realized that the Ming Cult had met a formidable enemy.

White-Browed Eagle King, Qingyi Bat King, Yang Xiao, and the Five Scattered Men, eight top experts, collectively attacked but could not subdue the terrifying mummy.

The Surgeon looked up, but Lin Qing had disappeared.

A sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

"Bad! This kid won't..." He remembered Lin Qing telling him that there were 33 tombs, 32 of which contained such dangerous mummies.

"Is he going to lure more?" Renzituo muttered, "I hate it when people randomly lure monsters during a dungeon run."

Everyone was stunned.

"That won't do!" The Surgeon roared, "We must immediately inform Yang Xiao to retreat, sacrificing some people to lure the monster away! Don't fight it head-on!"

But the problem was...

Would Yang Xiao believe them?

The Ming Cult was in high spirits, pursuing the six major sects. If a mummy suddenly appeared, telling him it was their ancestor, the former leader, and suggesting they kneel and offer some brothers to continue the killing game while the rest fled, who would believe it? Who would dare to believe it?

The Ming Cult, in the midst of a great victory over the six major sects, would assume it was a trick by the six major sects and would eliminate the mummy before continuing the pursuit.

Yang Xiao refused to retreat.

Lin Qing was galloping quickly, his mood extremely pleased.

Because he was constantly receiving notifications.

"Due to your luring, the mummy of the 7th Ming Cult leader has killed a Ming Cult altar master, earning 100 points of righteous reputation."

"According to the space rules, killing through strategy can be rewarded proportionally."

"The space has determined that you can receive 20% of the reward for the altar master's death."

"You have gained 20 points of righteous reputation."

Then, the notifications started rolling in rapidly.

"You have gained 2 points of righteous reputation."

"You have gained 13 points of righteous reputation."

"You have gained 15 points of righteous reputation."

...

Lin Qing watched as his 2000 points of righteous reputation were increasing at a rocket-like speed!
