Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 159: Chapter 101: Capturing the Gu Daoist, Celestial Left Alliance Leader to Establish Foundation

It might even be a Flying Corpse.

”Senior!”

The Gu Daoist struggled to speak as he was choked by the Three Evil Flying Corpses, but he was still searching for Wen Jiu’s location.

Seeing that Wen Jiu had not appeared, he quickly cried out hoarsely, ”Senior... I am willing to trade a Tier One Top Grade Earth Demon for a chance to live... You also cultivate the Law-Devouring Yin Insect, so you must know that the Earth Demon is the key for the Yin Insect to breakthrough to Tier Two...”

He used all his strength.

But his voice was actually not loud.

”Earth Demon?”

Wen Jiu murmured in his heart.

Even if I don’t know what it is.

If I kill you.

It remains mine.

Just as Wen Jiu was about to kill him directly, the Gu Daoist shouted again, ”If you kill me... the Earth Demon will die!”

Wen Jiu’s thoughts paused, and he used Divine Sense Communication immediately, ”What do you mean?”

The Gu Daoist hurriedly spoke, desperately grabbing this last straw to save his life, ”Please come into the cave for a detailed discussion... If the matter of the Earth Demon is overheard, even you might not be able to keep it safe!”

”Speak!”

Wen Jiu immediately set up a Sound Insulation Magical Barrier around him, allowing the Yin Spirit to act as his ears within it.

A trace of despair flashed in the Gu Daoist’s eyes, because there were traps he had set inside the cave. If he could trick his opponent into entering, there might be a slim chance of survival. The Earth Demon, which he had obtained after five years of effort, was his biggest reliance, so handing it over was the last thing he wanted to do.

Forced, the Gu Daoist spoke again, ”The Earth Demon resides within me and is symbiotic with me. To remove it, I must voluntarily and willingly do it, or else if I die, the Earth Demon will die, rendering it useless.”

”Interesting. Remove it, and I might spare your life.” Wen Jiu replied via Divine Sense Communication.

The Gu Daoist gave a bitter smile, ”Senior, please don’t joke. Once you have the Earth Demon, you will surely kill me immediately.”

”Then what do you want?”

”I ask that you retrieve the Law-Devouring Yin Insect.”

He could feel that this Law-Devouring Yin Insect was a Tier One Middle existence.

And it was worlds apart from his own Law-Devouring Yin Insect.

The Yin Insect he relied upon was as fragile as a chick before it.

Thus, without retrieving the Yin Insect, he would never hand over the Earth Demon.

”Then you can just die.”

Wen Jiu couldn’t be bothered with more words.

If the Earth Demon was unnecessary, so be it.

With the daily calculation panel, grinding for experience was enough.

Who said an Earth Demon is an absolute necessity?

Besides, he realized the Golden Cloud Valley Gu Cultivation Secret Technique he obtained was likely incomplete.

This Gu Daoist might have more to offer.

As long as it’s in his memory.

Wen Jiu could obtain it.

So why waste any more words?

”Senior! Senior!” The Gu Daoist was panicked upon hearing this; he didn’t expect the other party could even do without the Earth Demon, ”Spare my life... I am willing to serve you diligently, to obey your every command! If you don’t trust me, I can swallow a Heart-devouring Gu and give you the Heart-Eating Gu Mother Insect... I could even acknowledge you as my foster father!”

He was willing to acknowledge as master the enemy who killed his wife and children, searched bitterly for the Earth Demon over five years through more than a dozen life and death crises, and even turned himself into a Half-Demon Body for Gu cultivation.

He almost gave up everything for Foundation Establishment.

Now, to die just like this.

He was truly unwilling!

Upon hearing these words, Wen Jiu’s thoughts of killing the Gu Daoist came to a halt, ”You certainly know how to adapt. But forget the foster father part, give me the Heart-Eating Gu Mother Insect, then swallow a Heart-devouring Gu.”

The Golden Cloud Valley Gu Cultivation Secret Technique described that with the Heart-Eating Gu Mother Insect, one could control the Heart-devouring Gu no matter how far away.

Nothing to worry about the controlled person escaping.

Such an adaptable person might be worth keeping around.

At least in the Celestial Left Alliance, he needed an eye among them, because it was necessary to monitor some enemy movements to ensure safety, especially if one wanted to stay on Deadman Peak for a long term, it could not always be me in the light and the enemy in the dark.

”Thank you, Senior!” The Gu Daoist hurriedly took out a Heart-devouring Gu from his storage bag, though he paused for two breaths before swallowing it.

Because before, he was the one feeding it to others.

Now it was his turn.

Truly the work of fate.

After the brief pause, the Gu Daoist swallowed it, erased his connection to the Heart-Eating Gu Mother Insect, and handed it over to the Three Evil Flying Corpses.

Upon seeing this, Wen Jiu then lifted the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment, gradually revealing himself, though he still used Yin Technique to obscure his face, masking his true appearance.

After taking the Heart-Eating Gu Mother Insect from the Three Evil Flying Corpse, Wen Jiu immediately connected with it using his Divine Sense.

Upon confirming it was the Heart-Eating Gu Mother Insect, Wen Jiu immediately established communication with it using his Divine Sense, and at the moment the connection was established, he sensed the existence of over a dozen Heart-devouring Gus within it.

They were scattered all around.

Some near, some far.

”Senior, those are the people controlled by the Heart-devouring Gu, including Heterodox Cultivators and Cultivators of Deadman Peak, thirteen in total...”

The Gu Daoist quickly spoke, listing the details of those thirteen people without pause.

But his heart was full of bitterness.

This was the result of three years of hard work!

Thirteen Heart-devouring Gus, three at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, ten at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer!

Now they became someone else’s.

”There’s even a Side Peak Master?” Wen Jiu was a bit surprised because within it, he heard the name Ping Mountain of the Side Peak Master from Mountain Mist Peak.

The Gu Daoist hurriedly added, ”He is the Side Peak Master of Mountain Mist Peak.”

”You are quite capable.”

Wen Jiu couldn’t help but praise him.

A left-handed cultivator just entering Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, yet he held the life of a Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer Side Peak Master in his grasp.

Upon being praised, the Gu Daoist felt even more bitter inside, yet dared not show it, ”You flatter me, Senior.”

”And Qi Ming, he’s one of yours as well?”

”Yes.”

”Did you force him into Celestial Left Alliance with the Heart-devouring Gu?”
