Chapter 959: Chapter 979: I’d Rather Die Than Bow My Head!_1

Seeing the strange blood-red color of the undead’s bones, Lin Chen could roughly guess the horrifying level of this undead creature.

If it weren’t for the fact that his own Death Mark concealed his vital fluctuations, it would probably not be hesitating now, but charging over and tearing him to pieces.

He understood the power of his own Death Mark just in time!

There were such terrifying and powerful Undead Guards in this remote passage, and there must be also in the other passages, right?

Yan Kuangtu and the others retreated into the Mountain Belly, activating the Blood Light, and arousing the agitation of the undead and the Demonic Beasts. They clearly wanted to use the Undead Guards inside the mountain belly and the undead and Demonic Beasts outside to catch the invaders all at once!

The giant undead looked at Lin Chen’s direction for a few moments, and then finally turned its head away, crouching down like a dutiful watchdog.

Lin Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, scared to death, and sweating on his forehead.

He stepped lightly and quietly passed the Undead Guard and continued forward.

After only a few steps, Lin Chen saw human corpse and bones, but they were incomplete, seemingly torn apart by the Undead Guards inside.

With the protection of the Death Mark, Lin Chen’s courage grew quite a bit and he continued to move forward.

Along the way, Lin Chen encountered three or four Undead Guards of various types, but they all had blood-red bones, filled with extremely sharp and magnificent energy, revealing their powerful bodies.

Some of them were motionless, and some walked back and forth in the cave, and if someone invaded, they would definitely be detected.

Lin Chen was an anomaly.

The cave grew wider and Lin Chen suddenly stopped, looking around with a puzzled gaze.

Giant sword marks, giant pits...

The traces of battle!

Lin Chen recalled the few guards he had seen earlier and realized that they all had various injuries on their bodies, like the first one, with half of its wing chopped off.

Who was the intruder?

How strong!

They were able to severely injure these powerful Undead Guards. It seemed that there were indeed many experts who wanted to explore the secrets of the Valley of Death.

Lin Chen walked forward for a while before stopping again.

In the vast space, there were layers of solid Profound Ice emitting a cold chill.

After looking around, Lin Chen did not see any unusual phenomena and prepared to continue forward.

"Wait..."

A low call suddenly entered Lin Chen’s ears, causing him to startle and stop, with a guarded gaze around him.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m in the Profound Ice..."

Lin Chen gaze fell on the thick Profound Ice in surprise, and faintly within the deepest part of the ice seemed to be a figure.

Lin Chen whispered, "Are you human?"

"I am Gui Chang. How did you get in, and why didn’t the Undead Guards attack you?"

Gui?

Lin Chen was taken aback. This was one of the ancient surnames, an existence from ten thousand years ago, and had long been obliterated in the long river of history.

Another powerful existence from ten thousand years ago?

Lin Chen asked softly, "Ancient Gui family?"

"Ancient times?"

The old voice weakly continued, "I sealed myself in Profound Ice, and my sense of time is not accurate. It should have been a few thousand years... Has the Gui family ceased to exist?"

It really is a member of the Gui family!

Lin Chen’s feelings of excitement and strangeness grew. He had encountered Ji Ruxue from the ancient Ji family and Jiang Rukong from the ancient Jiang family outside, and now again Gui Chang from the ancient Gui family. There must be incredible secrets here.

"Not only has the Gui family ceased to exist, but most of the Eight Great Ancient Families have also disappeared. There may still be descendants in the world, but they are unknown. It’s been tens of thousands of years since they were in their prime..."

"Sigh!"

With a sense of loss, the old voice lamented, "Tens of thousands of years... I actually sealed myself for tens of thousands of years..."

Lin Chen cautiously asked, "I saw Ji Ruxue of the Ancient Ji Family serving as a guard outside. It seems that you’re not a guard here, so why did you seal yourself here?"

Gui Chang’s voice was weak, but it did not diminish his soaring spirit, "I, Gui Chang, am proud of my life in this world; even immortals cannot make me bow my head, I’d rather die!"

Immortal!

Lin Chen eagerly asked, "What about Ji Ruxue, Yan Chusheng and the others?"

Gui Chang’s voice contained undisguised contempt, "In order to achieve longevity, they gave up their own self and became Immortal Slaves, enslaved by immortals. They have simply disgraced their families!"

Immortal Slave!

Lin Chen finally heard a new term and immediately asked curiously, "So are they immortals or not?"

"Yes and no!"

Gui Chang’s voice was indifferent, "They are indeed considered immortals, but they have not truly ascended to the Immortal Realm. Strictly speaking, they can only be called Half Immortals. They have the long lifespan of an immortal, but they do not have the corresponding strength of an immortal. Otherwise, they would have been immortals themselves, so why would they be called Immortal Slaves? A master would never let a slave be stronger than himself!"
