Chapter 1510: Chapter 1510: Naihe Bridge, Wuyou Soup

Watching the four elders of the Yan Family lead Yan Muyu away, Fang Bai felt a sense of loss.

Meanwhile, Yun Man and the others sighed, looking distressed.

With the departure of the four elders of the Yan Family, they could no longer rely on borrowed authority. If they encountered a Martial Artist team in the future, they would not be able to overwhelming crush them, and they also had to guard against others trying to take the treasures they had gained.

"Ten li ahead is Naihe Bridge. Once you cross the bridge, you’ll reach the other side of the Blood Pool River and enter the core area of the Nether Corpse Land. Everyone, be prepared."

A group of ten was led by Yun Man along the Blood Pool River, and after travelling a hundred li, Yun Man suddenly turned back to the nine people behind her and spoke.

"Naihe Bridge?"

Fang Bai was taken aback. Tens of thousands of years ago when he trained here, he had never heard of any Naihe Bridge.

"Could it be that the Naihe Bridge was built by later generations of Martial Artists? But, the Blood Pool River is not wide, even a Foundation Establishment perfection expert can easily fly over it, so what is the point of building this bridge?"

Fang Bai felt puzzled and mystified.

"Brother Fang hasn’t heard of Naihe Bridge?"

Yun Man glanced at Fang Bai and asked with a smile.

Fang Bai cupped his hands and said, "I am new here and indeed have not heard of it. Please, Sister Yun, enlighten me."

Yun Man nodded and said, "The Naihe Bridge was constructed a thousand years ago... Calling it a bridge is somewhat of a stretch, as it’s really just two steel cables overlaid with wooden planks. After the bridge was built, most Martial Artists who need to cross the Blood Pool River choose to pass over it... Brother Fang, do you know why?"

She originally wanted to keep him guessing but then realized Fang Bai didn’t even know about Naihe Bridge, so how could he know other things? She laughed lightly and continued, "You might not believe this, Brother Fang, but Naihe Bridge was built by a mysterious old couple. After building the bridge, they remained at its entrance, recommending travelers drink their prepared ’Wuyou Soup’..."

"Wuyou Soup?"

Fang Bai frowned slightly, inexplicably reminded of Mengpo Soup in the Underworld.

It’s said that Mengpo Soup is brewed from the tears of the deceased, containing the bitterness and sweetness of life. Those who drink it will forget all memories of their past life after rebirth, starting anew.

Then what is this Wuyou Soup? What effect does it have after being consumed? What is the mysterious old couple’s purpose?

Fang Bai furrowed his brow in thought, an indescribable eerie feeling suddenly arising in his heart.

Yun Man said, "Wuyou Soup is brewed mainly from Soul Settling Grass, along with various rare Spiritual Medicines. Drinking Wuyou Soup before entering the core area of the Nether Corpse Land effectively resists Evil Qi and Corpse Qi influences, so many powerful warriors are drawn to it. We must also drink a bowl when we reach Naihe Bridge."

Fang Bai remained silent, feeling that there was something strange about the whole affair.

A moment later, as far as the eye could see, hundreds of Martial Artists lined up in two queues, slowly advancing forward.

At the end of the lines stood a bridge made of steel cables and wooden planks, about five feet wide. On this side of the bridge, stood two elderly figures, one on the left and one on the right. Every Martial Artist passing by would exchange the Cultivation Resources they carried for a bowl of the soup to drink.

"The soup those Martial Artists are drinking is the Wuyou Soup."

Yun Man said as she led Fang Bai and others to join one of the queues.

Wuyou Soup emitted a faint medicinal fragrance, invigorating the spirit. Fang Bai’s nostrils twitched, his eyes suddenly gleaming differently, his gaze landing on the two elders at the head of the line.

The two elders were an old man and an old woman, hunched and stooped, aged and decrepit, with hair and beard as white as snow, surely over a hundred years old, each holding a gourd in their hands.

Bowl after bowl of Wuyou Soup was poured out from those gourds, quickly selling hundreds of bowls, while collecting quite a lot of Cultivation Resources.

The Martial Artists present all knew that those gourds must be extraordinary Spatial Spirit Devices, otherwise how could they contain almost an endless supply of Wuyou Soup?

"That mysterious old couple, no one knows their names or origins, nor can anyone discern their Cultivation Level. In short, their existence seems to be a mystery..."

Yun Man looked at the two elders at the head of the bridge with a trace of respect in her gaze, lowering her voice to Fang Bai, saying, "Remember, you don’t have to drink Wuyou Soup, but never say anything offensive that might annoy them, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Fang Bai raised his eyebrow. NovelFire

"Do you see those dead bodies in the Blood Pool River?"

Yun Man pointed to the turbulent river ahead, enveloped in blood mist, her eyes showing a hint of fear, her voice slightly trembling, "Otherwise, you might become one of those corpses... Don’t doubt my words, I’ve personally witnessed them effortlessly kill two mid-level Golden Core experts and casually throw them into the Blood Pool River!"

Blood Pool River meandered not far from Fang Bai and others, just raising their eyes, they could see bodies floating and sinking on the river surface, drifting with the current, heading far away.

"Able to easily kill mid-level Golden Core experts, that old couple must be at least high-level Golden Core experts! No wonder they guard the bridge, other Martial Artists all queue obediently, no one daring to rush forward!"

A female Martial Artist behind Yun Man muttered inwardly.

The combination of two high-level Golden Core experts is indeed formidable. Just one of them can easily eliminate a Martial Artist team like Yun Man’s, and if they join forces, it’s even more frightening.

It’s worth noting that the Yan Family in the Female Immortal City, though strong, only has three high-level Golden Core experts in command.

With such astonishing power, that old couple ensures that most Martial Artists wishing to cross the Blood Pool River choose to cross via Naihe Bridge, exchanging some Cultivation Resources there for a bowl of Wuyou Soup. noveldrama

Drinking a bowl of Wuyou Soup not only avoids offending two high-level Golden Core experts but also strengthens one’s ability to resist the Evil Qi and Corpse Qi within the Nether Corpse Land. Why not?

The lengthy queues slowly advanced, soon bringing Yun Man and her group to the bridgehead before the old couple.

"One bowl of Wuyou Soup."

"I’ll take a bowl too."

Yun Man and another male Martial Artist from the team, standing at the front, respectfully spoke, placing a Holy Grade Spirit Medicine beside the old couple at the bridgehead.

The old couple’s long hair hid their faces, making their expressions unclear. Without speaking, they mechanically poured a bowl of ochre Wuyou Soup from the gourds in their hands, slowly handing it to Yun Man and the male Martial Artist.

"Thank you."

Yun Man and the other drank the Wuyou Soup eagerly.

"Wait..."

Fang Bai suddenly spoke.

"Brother Fang, what’s wrong?"

Yun Man and the others turned to look at Fang Bai, their eyes questioning.

The old couple dressed in black and white slowly raised their heads to look at Fang Bai as well.
