Chapter 1437: Chapter 1437: Legend of White Bone Gully

"It’s not that I’m blessed or lucky... someone helped me. Otherwise, I’d already be in the hands of the Soul Summoning Hall disciples."

In front of Sun Lin’s eyes, the image of the white-clothed man riding a Twin Pupil Eagle, handsome and unrestrained, appeared. She couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Fang Bai smiled without speaking.

Zheng Hong was curious, "Senior Sister Sun, who helped you?"

Sun Lin shook her head, dejected, "I don’t know who he is either. He struck down the female disciple of the Soul Summoning Hall with a single blade, and then he left!"

Zheng Hong and the others, upon hearing this, looked at each other in shock.

Shi Ming clicked his tongue in admiration, "That Soul Summoning Hall female disciple’s strength was a step above ours. To take her down with one strike, it must have at least been a Foundation Establishment mid-level expert, right?"

Zheng Hong said, "Even for a mid-level Foundation Establishment expert, they would have to give their all and catch the opponent off guard to possibly achieve a one-hit kill. I think the expert who saved Senior Sister Sun should be a high-level Foundation Establishment expert!"

Huang Zhong asked, "Senior Sister Sun, if you don’t know him, why would he help you?"

Sun Lin gave a bitter smile, "Actually... he didn’t intentionally help me. He said... he just found the Soul Summoning Hall disciples displeasing, that’s why he acted. I guess I was just conveniently saved by him!"

Shi Ming and the others were speechless, thinking that this reason was indeed peculiar.

But many strong individuals in this world kill based on whim; who needs a reason?

Sun Lin added, "By the way, that person also knows the Beast Taming Art. Before he acted, he controlled a Foundation Establishment realm Twin Pupil Eagle to attack that female disciple from the Soul Summoning Hall, and then he struck her down from mid-air. That person was very young, probably around my age."

"What? Only in his early twenties?"

Zheng Hong and the others gasped in surprise upon hearing this.

They originally thought that the powerful individual who saved Sun Lin was at least in his fifties, but to think he was so young greatly surprised them.

In the Spirit Martial Realm, being in your twenties and reaching the Foundation Establishment realm could be considered exceptional and highly talented.

And someone who reached mid or high Foundation Establishment in their twenties would be a martial genius.

To Zheng Hong and the others, such a martial genius couldn’t possibly be from a small sect like Lingxu Palace; only a powerful sect with Golden Core realm experts could have such disciples.

"Could it be that the expert who helped Senior Sister Sun is a disciple of a powerful sect with a Golden Core realm expert presiding?"

Zheng Hong and the others, thinking of this, couldn’t help but feel their hearts race.

Golden Core realm experts, in the eyes of martial artists who hadn’t even reached the Foundation Establishment realm, were entities to be revered and worshipped. If one could encounter such an expert, it might be a rare opportunity.

Unfortunately, according to Senior Sister Sun, that expert left after defeating the Soul Summoning Hall disciple, leaving no useful information. It was a bit regretful.

"Oh, by the way, before he left, he gave me the Spirit Core of the Twin Pupil Eagle..."

As Sun Lin spoke, she took out the Twin Pupil Eagle’s Spirit Core from her space ring to show Zheng Hong and the others.

Zheng Hong and the others took the Spirit Core and examined it, feeling envious.

A Spirit Beast Core of the Foundation Establishment realm might not be considered rare, but it could be exchanged for tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, which was a decent sum.

Fang Bai stood aside, listening to Sun Lin and Zheng Hong and the others discuss the mysterious expert with great interest, finding it amusing.

"The White Bone Gully is right ahead. Let’s take a break and prepare to enter!"

A moment later, Fang Bai urged.

Training at the White Bone Gully was their main purpose for this trip. With Fang Bai’s reminder, Sun Lin and the others stopped their discussion and each found a place to sit cross-legged and rest.

Several hours later, the five of them were fully refreshed and in peak condition, then they filed into the White Bone Gully.

As soon as they entered the White Bone Gully, a sinister chill enveloped them. Huang Zhong, who was the weakest among them, couldn’t help but shiver, his skin breaking out in goosebumps.

"It’s said that countless martial artists and spirit beasts have fallen in the White Bone Gully. As time passes, it gives off a sinister aura. This aura might affect martial artists who are not firm of mind, causing them terrifying hallucinations..."

Sun Lin led the way in front, walking along a stream in the White Bone Gully, talking to Fang Bai and the others about the place.

These stories were all ones Sun Lin heard from her grandmother Sun Jing.

The White Bone Gully stretches east-west, over two thousand miles long. Sun Jing had once traversed it with the high ranks of Lingxu Palace.

But during that trip, the high ranks of Lingxu Palace lost two people, and the rest were all injured. Even the Lingxu Palace Master Li Sanfu, who had reached perfection in the Foundation Establishment realm, suffered multiple injuries.

Sun Lin’s grandmother Sun Jing was severely injured at the time and was only saved by the protection of the high ranks. She didn’t fall in the White Bone Gully, but it took her five years to fully recover after returning to Lingxu Palace.

Although the high ranks of Lingxu Palace successfully traversed the White Bone Gully, it left a deep shadow. Since then, Lingxu Palace disciples have been warned not to delve more than five hundred miles into the gully.

This is because beyond five hundred miles lies the core area, where more martial artists and spirit beasts have fallen. The sight is white bones everywhere, the dark aura thick and lingering, causing terrifying hallucinations. There are also a few but very powerful spirit beasts lying in wait. A slight misstep, and one might fall and become one with the bones.

"The core area of the White Bone Gully is a forbidden zone even in the eyes of ordinary Foundation Establishment experts. They dare not enter lightly. For our Lingxu Palace, only five inner court disciples can jointly venture to the edge of the core area. As for the five of us... my grandmother Sun Jing has repeatedly warned me that with our limited strength, we shouldn’t go beyond three hundred miles, else our lives could be at risk."

Sun Lin continued speaking.

Shi Ming said dismissively, "Experience is all about going through various difficult and dangerous trials. Otherwise, how can one’s cultivation level rise, and how can one’s strength improve?"

Zheng Hong, being more cautious, advised, "Junior Brother Shi, life is not a game. We should listen to Elder Sun and be careful!"

Huang Zhong also said, "Let’s just go three hundred miles this time. We can go further when we become stronger!"

Shi Ming snorted, "You two cowards, just say you’re afraid of dying!"

Zheng Hong and Huang Zhong knew Shi Ming’s straightforward nature. He kept nothing to himself and said whatever came to his mind, which made them smile wryly.

Sun Lin, after all, was a young martial artist with a spirit of not wanting to lose. She didn’t completely heed her grandmother’s warnings. After hearing Shi Ming’s words, she felt quite tempted.
