Chapter 343 The Great Wizard's Entrustment

Leng Yun listened in silence to the system's notification. The experience points of a fifth-grade alchemist were comparable to those of a peak Spirit Martial Realm expert!

Even according to the system's calculations, alchemists are actually a cut above ordinary people and are much more valuable.

Just as Leng Yun was lamenting the inequality between people, the Great Wizard suddenly could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

This sudden turn of events terrified everyone, turning their faces deathly pale.

The Grand Wizard has always been their guardian deity; if the Grand Wizard were gone, they wouldn't know how to survive.

The two disciples of the great wizard quickly carried him into the bamboo house.

After a thorough examination, it was discovered that the great wizard was indeed exhausted and nearing the end of his life.

Subsequently, Leng Yun refined a Vitality Pill, which could temporarily save the Great Wizard's life.

The great wizard didn't wake up until three hours later. By then, the bamboo house was surrounded by disciples of the Linglong Pavilion, all anxiously waiting to see what was happening inside.

Leng Yun and several elders from Linglong Pavilion stood guard beside the Grand Wizard.

The high wizard woke up, glanced at Leng Yun, and said weakly, "You all go out first. Leng Yun and I have something to say."

The elders hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not go against the Great Wizard's wishes.

Inside the bamboo house, only Leng Yun and the Great Wizard remained.

"Brother Leng Yun, I've heard about what happened in Yunyang City. I presume you've come here for the Demon Spirit Ring?" The Grand Wizard's voice was very old.

Leng Yun nodded: "Yes, the only way to defeat Nangong Batian is by relying on the power of the Demon Spirit Ring."

“However, the Demon Ring is guarded by a lich beast. If you want to obtain it, you must first kill this lich beast!” the Grand Wizard said.

"Lich beast?"

“Yes, the lich beast’s magic is powerful. It comes out to harm people every now and then in the back mountains of the Southern Frontier. If it weren’t for me suppressing this lich beast for decades, the Southern Frontier would probably have been destroyed long ago.” The great shaman said with a worried look on his face. “But now, I am about to die, so I want to ask you to do one more thing.”

Leng Yun said calmly, "You want me to kill the lich beast."

The Grand Wizard nodded: "Only your purple flames might be able to deal with the lich beast. Of course, if you can eliminate the lich beast, you will be a benefactor of our Southern Frontier, and the Demon Spirit Ring will belong to you."

Leng Yun remained silent; he could naturally accept such conditions.

Seeing that Leng Yun had tacitly agreed, the high wizard breathed a deep sigh of relief and then said, "I have one more thing I'd like to ask for your help with."

"It's about Linghua, isn't it? Great Wizard, you can rest assured, I will definitely find Linghua," Leng Yun said calmly.

The great wizard nodded, no longer worried, and slowly closed his eyes.

Early that morning, the Grand Wizard passed away peacefully, plunging the entire Linglong Pavilion into grief.

Leng Yun immediately set off and found Linghua's whereabouts in less than three hours, giving Linghua the opportunity to return and bid farewell to her grandfather.

Now that Linglong Pavilion is leaderless, Linghua, as the granddaughter of the Great Wizard, has inherited the management of the entire Linglong Pavilion and is responsible for the affairs after the Great Wizard's death.

Before dawn, news of the Great Wizard's death had already spread throughout the entire Southern Frontier, and countless people spontaneously went to Ascension Cliff to bid farewell to the Great Wizard.

Leng Yun stood far away to the side, watching the strange ceremony held by the people of Southern Xinjiang. Ascension Cliff was an unfathomable precipice. The remains of the great shaman were cremated at the edge of the cliff, and a dozen men in black danced around the flames, seemingly praying that the heavens would carry the great shaman's soul to the sky.

Leng Yun watched for a while, then walked away on her own.

He transformed into a streak of green light and soon arrived at the location of the back mountain of the southern border.

This is where the lich beast guards the spirit ring.

As soon as you step into the back mountain, you can feel a sinister aura.

The surrounding trees seemed to have had their souls sucked away by something, growing withered and lifeless, and there wasn't a single living creature to be seen within a hundred miles.

The further Leng Yun walked into the mountains, the more he could feel a chilling and oppressive atmosphere.

In the end, he had to ignite a purple flame in his palm to ward off the invasion of evil energy.

This demonstrates just how powerful this lich beast truly is.

It turns out that this lich beast had been wreaking havoc in the southern borderlands for hundreds of years until a great shaman with extraordinary talent appeared, which temporarily suppressed the lich beast and brought peace to the southern borderlands for a time.

However, although the great wizard could suppress it, he could not subdue the monster.

In this world today, only Leng Yun's Netherworld Fire is the only hope to destroy this lich beast.

Now that the great wizard is dead, it seems that this lich beast has also sensed something amiss and is stirring once again.

Leng Yun was walking in the mountains when he suddenly heard a howl, and then darkness enveloped the surroundings.

What was originally a clear daytime day suddenly became pitch black.

Immediately afterwards, a giant monster's face appeared in the sky, and the face alone was the size of a city wall.

A pair of blood-red eyes were staring intently at Leng Yun.

Lich Beast!

Leng Yun could sense the power of this monster from afar. Such a bizarre scene would have terrified an ordinary person to death.

Leng Yun snorted lightly, showing no fear whatsoever, and walked towards the enormous face in the sky.

From a distance, it looks like a figure resolutely walking into death. Although it looks somewhat thin, every step it takes is so firm.

"Roar!"

The giant face in the sky roared again.

Immediately afterwards, a dark red power shot out from its mouth, like an arrow released from a bow, and suddenly shot towards Leng Yun.

The dark red arrow of energy, like magma flowing from the earth, scorched the air wherever it passed.

The dark red color in Leng Yun's pupils grew larger and larger, and it was about to get close.

With a soft hum, he suddenly stretched out his palm.

The next second, a ball of purple flame suddenly burst out from Leng Yun's palm. In such a dark environment, the Netherworld Ghost Fire was like hellfire, burning away all the evil in the world.

The purple streaked through the darkness and collided with the dark red in mid-air, instantly creating a violent explosion.

The two colors blended together, and then, like ripples, radiated a magnificent halo.

Although the power of the lich beast was enough to destroy the world, the Netherworld Ghost Fire completely burned away the dark red color. This is the principle of the cycle of heaven and the mutual restraint of life.

However, this only enraged the lich beast further. It opened its massive maw, unleashing an even more powerful dark red force, like a flood descending from the sky, charging towards Leng Yun with overwhelming momentum.

In an instant, the entire sky was dyed a strange dark red color.

Leng Yun's face flushed red from the reflection, yet a resolute expression remained.

"Three parts of the burning field!"

Leng Yun gave a soft shout, and the Burning Lamp Ruler in his hand slammed down...
