Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

”Then I will go and prepare now.”

Feng Xuan nodded.

Initially, he also intended to depart tonight.

After all, the matter concerning Bright Moon Peak should be addressed sooner rather than later.

Moreover, as he knew, the Celestial Left Alliance seemed to be adding fuel to the fire while Bright Moon Peak was being ravaged by demons, seeking revenge for the death of the three Guardians of the Mountain Lineage, so it was imperative to investigate and clear this up quickly.

Open attacks are easy to block, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against.

The Celestial Left Alliance is of the Heterodox Dao; they will certainly not attack Deadman Peak’s side peak openly as they did last time.

Most likely, they will use underhanded tactics.

”Hmm, hmm.” Wen Jiu nodded, seeing Feng Xuan off.

Upon returning to the Inspection Hall, the first thing Feng Xuan did was to find the other Inspectors along with the Vice Hall Master accompanying him. Soon, the matter reached Li Mu’s ears, and Li Mu immediately came to Wen Jiu’s door.

”Senior Brother.”

Wen Jiu quickly came out to greet him.

But tonight, Li Mu’s face showed no friendliness.

Li Mu instructed, ”This journey to Bright Moon Peak is a test and trial assigned to you by the Great Elder and your master. Do not let them down. At the same time, I must remind you of one thing: all four hundred sixty-two members of the Qi Family must die.”

He feared Wen Jiu would act on sentimental impulses.

And spare people.

Doing so would be a grave mistake.

If Wen Jiu belonged to the other eleven departments of the Demon-slaying Department or the Demon Suppression Department, it wouldn’t matter much whether or not he killed the family of the Bright Moon Peak Master.

But Wen Jiu is part of the Inspection Hall.

The Inspection Hall is an unfeeling blade from Deadman Peak, a slaughtering knife to uphold the sect’s rules and harmony; it must be cold and ruthless. The old, young, women, and children of the Qi Family, the innocent ones, anyone bearing the Qi surname must die completely!

Wen Jiu nodded, ”Rest assured, Senior Brother.”

Li Mu added, ”After this matter, I will apply to the Great Elder to have your sister transferred to Deadman Peak, to shield her from secret revenge.”

”Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Wen Jiu clasped his fists in gratitude.

For the chance to bring his sister Wen Ya to the Main Peak.

It seems that sparing those individuals is not an option, but fortunately, he holds no objection against killing the Qi Family.

Nor does he care.

”Stay safe.”

Li Mu left these words along with the Qi Family information jade slip, then walked away casually.

After Li Mu departed, Wen Jiu returned to his room and sent his divine sense into the jade slip, seeing clearly all the information about the four hundred sixty-two members of the Qi Family. However, what surprised Wen Jiu was the other information about the Qi Family in the jade slip.

For example, the history of the Qi Family.

The first Patriarch of the Qi Family was once a Disciple of the Twelve Departments of Deadman Peak, but before becoming a Twelve Departments Disciple, he was just a mortal martial artist.

Three hundred years ago, he worked for forty years in the Mortal World, achieving Martial Arts Grandmaster status, and later, after witnessing Sword Flight from side peak disciples, he traveled three thousand miles over mountains and waters to reach the Cultivation Realm of Deadman Peak.

And by using a low-grade spirit root, he grew from a servant to a Side Peak Disciple, but by then, he was already over eighty years old.

Qi Refining Cultivators with low-grade spirit roots typically reach a dead end in their cultivation paths after age eighty; progressing further is nearly impossible. However, this Qi Family ancestor defied this law, reaching the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer at the age of ninety.

In the following decade, he continuously slew demons, amassing a large amount of sect contribution, which he then exchanged for a spot as a Main Peak Disciple.

From then on, he established the Qi Family.

Over the next three hundred years, through thirteen generations of Patriarchs, the family saw times of decline and prosperity, reaching a peak twenty years ago under the leadership of the Bright Moon Peak Master Qi Ming, when the family produced seven Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer cultivators.

”The time of glory is also the time of ruin.” Wen Jiu withdrew his divine sense, feeling a twinge of sentiment in his heart.

...

Half an hour later,

The Flying Ship set sail.

A total of one hundred Inspection Hall Disciples, three Inspectors, and one Vice Hall Master.

Worth mentioning is that the Vice Hall Master openly accompanying him is unexpectedly a Direct Disciple of the Great Elder.

A female cultivator.

She seemed to have taken the Youthful Appearance Pill, maintaining her appearance around thirty years old.

After nightfall, she wore a form-fitting long dress that accentuated her graceful figure, leaving a lasting impression with just one glance. But these were trivial matters; what was important was that her magical artifact turned out to be two giant hammers.

The reason he knew this was because, after boarding the ship, she seemed somewhat displeased with him, which Wen Jiu understood.

She is the Vice Hall Master.

Also a Direct Disciple of the Great Elder.

And is at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.

Yet she has to listen to the commands of him, a Qi Cultivation Third Layer Inspector, which was inevitably irksome to her.

To be honest, Wen Jiu suspected the Great Elder did this on purpose, either to mess with him or to toy with his disciple.

”Let me know when we arrive.”

After leaving a message for Feng Xuan, she returned to the cabin.

However, Wen Jiu did not mind the Vice Hall Master’s displeasure since they were not engaging in dual cultivation; her opinion of him did not matter.

Soon.

The Flying Ship left the Main Peak’s area.

Heading straight toward Bright Moon Peak.

After two hours, it began to descend. At the summit was a huge lake that resembled a bright moon, and Bright Moon Peak came into view. But as Wen Jiu looked down, besides the prominent moon, there was the overpowering aura of demonic qi.

Within ten miles around Bright Moon Peak, traces of fierce battles could be seen, and many cultivators were fighting the demons. However, since there was only one demon, the Side Peak cultivators had the upper hand.

It was at this moment that the Vice Hall Master Shan Yue Ru, who had been in the cabin, slowly emerged.

Looking down, she asked, ”I have two plans in hand right now. The first is for me to immediately go down and slay Qi Ming, then take people to eradicate the Qi Family at once.”

”Then can I return to cultivate?”

Wen Jiu quickly asked.

Shan Yue Ru furrowed her brows, ”Of course not, until matters at Bright Moon Peak are resolved, you can’t go anywhere. The internal struggles at Bright Moon Peak take a back seat, while the external threat is the greater issue. At least a thousand Tier One Middle Demons are wreaking havoc around Bright Moon Peak… dealing with them isn’t a task that can be completed in a day or two.”
