Capítulo 44: Chapter 44: Facing a Foundation Cultivator!

The valley guided us towards a cavern, which I presumed to be the location of the fabled spiritual mine. Concealed behind the cover of trees, I observed the entrance from a distance, spying two figures standing guard.

Clad in dark robes, their countenances exuded an aura of malevolence, and a palpable sense of death lingered around them. It became apparent that these individuals belonged to a nefarious devilish sect.

Ye Hu, too, noticed their presence and remarked, "These must be disciples of the Living Dead Sect. They specialize in reanimating corpses, even after death!"

The enigma of the city's multitude of lifeless figures was thus unraveled—the Living Dead Sect had orchestrated this macabre spectacle.

"Elder Tian Li, do you think there might be Foundation cultivators among them?" inquired Hou Suyin, her gaze fixed upon the guards.
