The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1033 - 1031: A Map!

Chapter 1033: Chapter 1031: A Map!

Kang Shiyun and Lin Bai walked over and discovered that there were Magic Circle Prohibitions on the Stone Door as well, but these Magic Circle were the same as those in other places: having been corroded by the passage of time, they had weakened to an extreme degree.

With a violent punch, Kang Shiyun directly shattered the Stone Door before them, and Lin Bai could only smile wryly.

Inside the Stone Door was an extremely simple house.

Very dim.

Kang Shiyun took out a dozen Night Light Pearls from her Storage Bag and threw them into the room, immediately illuminating the interior.

Lin Bai’s Eyes shone brightly as he looked around the room and discovered a skeleton lying in a corner on the ground.

However, the clothes on this skeleton had all decayed, but the flesh was completely intact; the blood was gone, leaving behind a Dry Corpse.

"There’s a corpse; hurry over and take a look."

"This corpse probably hasn’t been discovered yet; there might be some good Treasures."

With an expression of great joy, Kang Shiyun hurriedly ran over.

Lin Bai followed Kang Shiyun quietly from behind, looking at the skeleton.

Lin Bai squatted down to take a look, whispering, "Did you notice? The expression on this person’s Face when he died was extremely twisted, as if he was afraid of something."

"Junior Brother Lin Bai, you can even tell that?" Kang Shiyun said with a playful laugh.

Lin Bai smiled slightly and continued to look, discovering that there were three claw marks on the corpse’s chest, identical to the claw marks he had seen on the palace’s stone walls earlier.

"These claw marks again..."

Lin Bai gazed at the claw marks on the disciple’s body and fell into deep thought.

Before, Lin Bai had thought that these claw marks were left by a power of the Demon Clan, but this Small House clearly had no signs of outsiders having been here, and yet these claw marks also appeared on this skeleton.

This indicated that these claw marks were not left by a power of the Demon Clan, but instead were left on this disciple before the fall of the Red Immortal Sect.

And judging by the look of fear on the person’s Face, he must have seen something terrifying.

And it was precisely this thing that led to the overnight destruction of the once flourishing Red Immortal Sect.

"What exactly happened within the Red Immortal Sect back then?"

Lin Bai couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

"His Storage Bag hasn’t been taken away." Kang Shiyun found that a Storage Bag was still intact on the skeleton, and it wasn’t damaged: "There must be good stuff inside this Storage Bag."

Kang Shiyun’s Eyes sparkled as she said.

Upon hearing Kang Shiyun’s voice, Lin Bai also turned his gaze towards the Storage Bag, his Face brightening: "This trip wasn’t for nothing then. Senior Sister Kang, see if there are any precious items inside the Storage Bag."

"Alright."

Kang Shiyun smiled with joy, took the Storage Bag, and as the owner had been dead for countless years, the imprint of Spiritual Power on it had dissipated.

Therefore, Kang Shiyun immediately opened the Storage Bag after taking it.

"Wow!"

Upon opening it, Kang Shiyun couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Lin Bai asked, "What’s the matter?"

Kang Shiyun spoke excitedly, "There are quite a few Treasures inside this Storage Bag; although most of them have been corroded by the years, several have survived."

"And these items are all exceedingly important."

"There are three types of Rare Materials which have vanished from the Martial World by now, and even materials for forging Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifacts."

"There’s also a book that seems to be the Cultivation Skill scripture from the Red Immortal Sect."

"..."

Kang Shiyun continued excitedly, "Junior Brother Lin Bai, wait here for a moment, I’ll go call my brother, and we’ll search this room thoroughly. There might be other precious Treasures."

"Alright."

Lin Bai nodded.

Without delay, Kang Shiyun quickly left the room.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai sat in front of the skeleton, staring at the three claw marks on its body, and fell deep into thought.

"What exactly are these claw marks?"

"How were they made? By a demon beast?"

Lin Bai mumbled to himself.

Suddenly, at that moment,

Lin Bai noticed something black under the ragged clothes of the skeleton.

Lin Bai flipped the skeleton over and found that the black object was a hidden box.

"What is this?"

Lin Bai discovered that this hidden box was situated under the rear of the skeleton—it probably wasn’t anything important, or else the skeleton wouldn’t have taken it out to sit on like a bench.

Lin Bai opened the hidden box and found nothing inside but a sheepskin scroll.

After unrolling the sheepskin scroll, Lin Bai found it etched with winding, twisting... maps!

"It’s a map!"

Lin Bai exclaimed ecstatically.

On closer inspection, the places marked on the map seemed oddly familiar to Lin Bai.

"This is... the map of the Direct Disciple Mountain Peak!" Lin Bai’s mind flashed brightly as he recalled. When he had arrived on his flying sword, glancing down from mid-air, he had seen the Direct Disciple Mountain Peak, which was identical to the mountain peak on the map.

Lin Bai was overjoyed: "This is actually a map revealing the prohibitions on this mountain peak. This person must have held an important position on this mountain peak, or else he wouldn’t have possessed this map."

"He must have been extremely familiar with the mountain peak back then. So, he might have felt the map was no longer useful, which is why he didn’t keep it in his storage bag but carelessly discarded it in a black box, using it as a bench instead."

"It might have been useless to him, but to me, this is simply a treasure!"

"Now, everyone on this mountain peak, both warriors and the demon clan, is searching for the location of that Direct Disciple’s Cave Mansion. With this map, I can find the true dwelling of my Direct Disciple..."

Lin Bai earnestly began searching on the map.

The map was marked with "Welcoming Guests Hall," "Sunset Palace," "Elixir Palace," and many other places—several hundred palaces on the mountain peak.

Lin Bai’s eyes, sharp as swords, studied the map intently.

On the very top end of the map, was written "Direct Disciple Palace."

"This so-called Direct Disciple Palace should be the dwelling of the Direct Disciple..." Lin Bai looked carefully.

"Good, with this map, I can find the important sites of opportunity that others cannot."

Lin Bai’s face beamed with joy as he spoke.

Boom—

Just then, sounds of powerful spiritual force clashing came from outside the stone chamber.

"Someone’s taking action?" Lin Bai packed up the map and immediately turned and dashed out of the stone chamber.

Lin Bai moved swiftly and arrived in the small house’s living room.

At this moment, Lin Bai was surprised to see Kang Yiyang, Kang Shiyun, Wang Yanbo, and others looking unfriendly at the three tall shapes in front of them.

Each of these three figures stood three meters high, emanating terrifying surges of power. Their eyes were blood red, and sharp fangs protruded from their mouths...

"The demon clan!"

Upon seeing these three, Lin Bai immediately cried out in alarm.
