At the stage where various sects were having headaches over escaping from Yanhe City, a mysterious map circulated in Junyou County.
The loose cultivators from the two major counties followed the map into an ancient cavern suspected to be where a Foundation Establishment cultivator once meditated, only to be blocked by an illusion array outside the cavern.
This event alarmed a Foundation Establishment great cultivator sent to Lingjun County to investigate the situation.
Upon breaking the illusion array, they found the lair of the Evil Corpse.
The Foundation Establishment great cultivator engaged in a fierce battle with the Evil Corpse but was unable to defeat it and retreated with severe injuries.
By the time the injured Foundation Establishment cultivator returned with others from various sects to the Evil Corpse's lair, the place was already deserted.
