176: Chapter 176 The Wife's Corpse Has Disappeared
Li Daoxuan sighed and explained the ins and outs of the matter to Qin Batian.
For a moment, the entire Immortal Cave fell into silence.
Whether it was Qin Batian, Madam Qin, or Yun Niang and Li Fengwu, all became silent.
Li Daoxuan knew what they were thinking, so he smiled and said, "With my little disciple there, Li Junlin will be fine."
"It won't be long before I can achieve a Breakthrough to the Spirit Wandering Stage and go to that place to see if I can rescue them."
Qin Batian frowned and pondered for a moment before suddenly saying, "Our clan does have some records about that place, but if you want to explore it, you will have to wait another three hundred years."
"Of course, with your current strength, you certainly cannot enter that place. As you said, once your cultivation reaches the Spirit Wandering Stage, you will definitely be able to enter."
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "My disciple also entered it. His life tablet hasn't shattered, which means he is still alive and well."
"Since he is still alive, Li Junlin will be fine too. I haven't sensed anything wrong through our Bloodline."
Qin Batian breathed a sigh of relief. He was very familiar with Bloodline sensing. While others might not know, as someone at the Soul Transformation Stage, he understood exactly how it worked.
Apart from the two of them, the others did not understand because their cultivation had not yet reached the Soul Transformation Stage.
Seeing Qin Batian breathe a sigh of relief, Li Daoxuan's mother-in-law also relaxed and stopped worrying.
Li Fengwu and Yun Niang had long known that Li Junlin was fine, so they stopped overthinking it.
Li Daoxuan suddenly asked, "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, did you place a Formation inside Yiyi's coffin? Why has her corpse not decayed?"
Qin Batian couldn't help but frown. He hadn't been awake at the time, and by the time he did wake up, he had left immediately, so no Formation had been placed on Qin Yiyi's corpse.
Then, what was going on with Qin Yiyi's corpse not decaying? Could it be that someone was practicing corpse refining?
But Qin Yiyi was just an ordinary Mortal; why hadn't she decayed after all these years? This didn't make sense.
Qin Batian shook his head and said, "It wasn't me who placed any Formation, nor did I place any treasure on her. It is possible she was refined into a zombie. Let's go and take a look."
As he finished speaking, he vanished from where he stood.
Li Daoxuan quickly said, "Wait here, we will be right back."
He also vanished from the spot, but his speed was faster, and he arrived at Qin Yiyi's grave before Qin Batian.
But very quickly, his expression changed drastically, because Qin Yiyi's corpse was not inside the grave.
It was as if it had vanished into thin air, and the entire grave remained just as it was.
As someone at the Soul Transformation Stage, he could tell that the soil on the surface of the grave had not been disturbed, meaning the person inside had vanished into thin air.
Qin Batian arrived as well, and upon seeing the situation inside, he couldn't help but frown.
"How could this be? Where is Yiyi's corpse? Why has it disappeared?"
Li Daoxuan shook his head and said, "It was still here a while ago, why would it suddenly disappear?"
"The grave is still in its original state; no one has touched it at all."
These words gave Qin Batian a bad feeling. The two of them released their Divine Sense to search the surroundings, but they could not find Qin Yiyi.
As for opening the grave, they did not intend to do so. Even though Qin Yiyi was gone, this was still her grave, and it must not be destroyed.
The two left with faces full of confusion, their minds constantly pondering what was going on.
At the same time, they also held some hope in their hearts—what if Qin Yiyi wasn't actually dead?
Thinking of this, the two looked at each other, their faces revealing an expression of hoping that was the case.
The two did not notice that after they left, a woman appeared in the grave; it was none other than Qin Yiyi.
It was just that she had previously been hiding in the spatial turbulence and had not been discovered.
Watching their disappearing backs, the woman couldn't help but mutter, "How is it possible to Cultivate so quickly? He is about to reach the Spirit Wandering Stage!"
"No, I must achieve a Breakthrough before him, then leave this place. Otherwise, once he breaks through, I will have nowhere to hide."
"Such talent is indeed quite good, it's just a pity that you and I are not on the same path after all."
In fact, she also admired Li Daoxuan greatly; after all, she had watched Li Daoxuan walk this path all the way to the present. Although she did not know Li Daoxuan's method of Cultivation, being able to reach this Realm at this age was already very impressive.
It was just a pity that his identity was different. Even though she had merged with Qin Yiyi's original spirit fragments, her own consciousness remained dominant.
Of course, when facing Li Daoxuan and their son and daughter, she always had an indescribable feeling.
Moreover, this time when she saw Qin Batian, the palpitations in her heart returned.
Up until now, she still hadn't completely adapted to this body. If Qin Yiyi's consciousness were to gain the upper hand, that would be bad.
Of course, with her strength, it was impossible for Qin Yiyi's memories to take the dominant position.
"Alright, get back in there. Even if you go out now, what can you do? I am not you. If you don't want them to die, then obediently retreat."
As the words fell, Qin Yiyi's consciousness retreated, and the woman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She then closed her eyes, and the aura on her body slowly increased.
After Li Daoxuan and the other returned to Yunding Peak, they were not in a good mood.
Li Daoxuan even issued an order for the people of the Asura Hall to search everywhere for Qin Yiyi's whereabouts.
But he also knew that for a situation like that inexplicable disappearance, it was basically impossible to find her in this Cultivation World.
Such an existence was likely not something this world could possess; he would need to leave this place and head to more distant worlds.
Taking a deep breath, Li Daoxuan forced a smile. He would suppress this matter for now; today was a joyous occasion.
After apologizing to Qin Batian, he returned directly to the Asura Hall.
When Yun Qingning saw Li Daoxuan, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Come, in-law, let's go drink."
Li Daoxuan nodded and allowed the other party to drag him off to drink.
Under the guidance of Yun Niang, the Medical Immortal met Qin Batian and his wife, and they talked quite happily. For a moment, Qin Batian forgot about the matter of Qin Yiyi disappearing.
The joyous days passed quickly. Afterward, Li Daoxuan gave instructions to Butler Wang Er and the others, then quickly left the Asura Hall.
In the Far West, at the edge of a dark swamp, Li Daoxuan appeared. Looking at the swamp before him, he waved his hand, and several Flying Swords flew toward the swamp, sinking directly into it.
In an instant, his expression changed drastically because he discovered that he had lost contact with his Flying Swords.
"Blazing Fire Burning the Heavens!"
Releasing a Divine Ability, powerful flames slowly scorched the surrounding muddy swamp dry.
Just at this moment, a massive crocodile crawled out of the swamp. The crocodile's mouth was constantly chewing on something, and Li Daoxuan knew it was his Flying Swords.
Those were High Grade Flying Swords, yet they were eaten directly by that crocodile; what kind of monster was this guy?
The crocodile stood up and roared at Li Daoxuan, "Kid, in return for the tasty treats you gave me, I can spare your life, but you must give me more tasty treats."
Li Daoxuan ignored its words. With a wave of his hand, the Thread of Fate controlled countless fireballs, smashing them toward the crocodile.
Seeing Li Daoxuan's attack, the crocodile couldn't help but roar, "Bug, who gave you the guts to dare to fight me?"
