Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

”He’s looking for death too. He could have just assassinated Chen Jiang, but he insisted on stealing the essence blood used by the Celestial Left Alliance Leader for his Blood Evil Foundation Establishment.”

The loose cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer sighed again.

The Female Cultivator replied, ”Who wouldn’t agree? That’s simply courting death. However, speaking of it, now with the Master of Deadman Peak missing and his fate unknown, even if he were alive, he wouldn’t be a match if the Celestial Left Alliance Leader succeeds in his Blood Evil Foundation Establishment.”

”Indeed, stealing it can disrupt the Celestial Left Alliance Leader’s Blood Evil Foundation Establishment process, buying us some breathing room.”

As the two chatted idly, four men and a woman walked leisurely into the tavern from outside, still dressed as loose cultivators.

But as soon as they entered, they headed straight for Li Mu.

Li Mu didn’t stand up but greeted them warmly, ”Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Wang, this, this, this... why did it take you so long to finish your matter? I’ve already drunk two pots by myself. If you didn’t come, I would be drunk already.”

The black-clothed old man leading the five, at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, shook his head with a smile, ”Fellow Daoist Yang, the team departs in an hour, and here you are drinking. Really...”

”That soon?”

Li Mu stood up in surprise.

The black-clothed old man nodded, ”Alright, take the wine to drink on the way. Just don’t miss the departure time.”

”Waiter, ten jars of White Chrysanthemum Brew!” Li Mu immediately turned around and shouted, prompting several waiters to quickly fetch the wine.

The other loose cultivators and heterodox cultivators in the tavern glanced at Li Mu and his group but paid no attention, thinking they were just a family caravan.

Then they went back to their own conversations.

Outside, Li Mu quickly used Divine Sense Communication with the black-clothed old man, asking, ”Elder Ming, has the Ye Family been dealt with?”

The black-clothed old man responded with Divine Sense, ”Already taken care of. The excuse I used was a conflict with a sect cultivator. The Ye Family caravan of Three-leaf Square often helps tribulation cultivators escape. They have their own hidden paths to evade searchers, and the Ye Family has quite a network in the Cultivation Realm at Cloud Mist Peak, so there should be no problem.”

”I apologize for the trouble this has caused you, Elder Ming,” Li Mu expressed through Divine Sense Communication, though he didn’t regret it.

Because if he didn’t kill Chen Jiang, another Chen Jiang would appear immediately; if he didn’t steal the essence blood, then the Celestial Left Alliance Leader’s Blood Evil Foundation Establishment would be very smooth.

For Deadman Peak.

He had to do this.

Even though the price was becoming surrounded on all sides.

Quickly enough.

Li Mu and his group followed the Ye Family caravan headed towards Deadman Peak.

The caravan carried the unique heavenly materials and earthly treasures of Cloud Mist Peak, intending to make a profit at Deadman Peak.

Li Mu’s group was assigned to drive a beast-drawn carriage.

However, on the third night when they were setting up camp, Ye the Third, a Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivator and leader of the Ye Family caravan, suddenly approached.

”Fellow Daoist Chen,” Ye the Third cupped his hands, then glanced over Li Mu’s group with a smile that carried a hint of depth.

Elder Ming immediately stood up, his expression unchanged, ”Fellow Daoist Ye.”

But behind him, Li Mu was already on high alert.

Ye the Third asked, ”May I ask which sect cultivator you offended, Fellow Daoist Chen?”

”Fellow Daoist Ye, I’m afraid I cannot disclose that,” Elder Ming responded.

Ye the Third chuckled, ”To be honest, our Ye Family also has some connections in Cloud Mist Peak. The Seventh Elder of Cloud Mist Peak and the personal disciple of the Peak Master are behind our Ye Family. If Fellow Daoist is willing to spend some Spirit Stones, this matter can be resolved.”

”There’s no need to trouble Fellow Daoist Ye. What my master and I are involved in, it can’t be settled in a few words.”

Elder Ming dodged the issue tactfully.

Ye the Third didn’t press further and left, heading to another tent, seemingly to check the goods.

But after he left, Elder Ming suddenly looked at Li Mu, while Li Mu watched Ye the Third’s departing figure.

As soon as he completely vanished behind the beast cart, Li Mu immediately used Divine Sense Communication with Elder Ming and the others, ”Go!”

Something unusual must be happening.

A hundred breaths later.

Three late-stage Qi Cultivation heterodox cultivators approached under the cover of night, drawing near the Ye Family’s location. When they were a hundred feet away, they threw a Tier One High-Grade Array, enveloping the Ye Family’s camp, causing panic among the Ye Family members.

”Ye the Third, where are they?” The leading heterodox cultivator shouted as soon as he approached, unable to detect anything with his Divine Sense.

Ye the Third flew up, heading straight for the beast cart where Li Mu and his group rested, casting a spell towards ”Li Mu” and the others.

Boom!

The spell landed.

”Li Mu” and the others exploded instantly, turning into a cloud of dust.

Ye the Third’s face changed dramatically, ”What!”

The faces of the three late-stage Qi Cultivation heterodox cultivators turned serious, their eyes filled with killing intent, causing Ye the Third to explain frantically, ”I specifically checked on them just a hundred breaths ago and have been watching them with my Divine Sense.”

”It’s the unique Fake Body Talisman of the Talisman Chamber Elder from Deadman Peak.” The leading heterodox cultivator from the Ming Lineage spoke slowly, ”I didn’t expect Li Mu and his group to be so cautious, truly surprising.”

With those words.

He withdrew the array.

He didn’t pursue.

Because they were surrounded by mountains; where could they go?

However, at this moment, a Tier One High-Grade Sound Transmission Talisman in his pocket suddenly activated.

”It’s Senior Yin Yang Dust.”

He hurriedly took out the Sound Transmission Talisman and heard a hoarse, old voice coming from it.

Due west!

”Chase!”

”Li Mu, let’s see where you run this time!”

The late-stage heterodox cultivator from the Ming Lineage smiled triumphantly, quickly storing the talisman and giving chase.

...

Deadman Peak.

For several consecutive days, Wen Jiu maintained a pace of dealing with one True Spirit Demon Race member per day, not because he was unwilling to attack more.

But every time Wen Jiu struck down a True Spirit Demon, the other True Spirit Demon Race members would group up and be on guard, giving Wen Jiu no chance to attack. Only after a dozen hours would they relax.

However, Wen Jiu was in no rush, maintaining one per day, intending to gradually elevate the Three Evil Flying Corpses to the top realm first.

At two hundred seventy-five experience points per day, the Three Evil Flying Corpses would reach the top realm in fewer than twenty days.

This morning, on his way to the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, Wen Jiu heard some news. At the border of Cloud Mist Peak and Deadman Peak, over ten thousand family clan cultivators and several thousand heterodox cultivators had gathered.

The behind-the-scenes might likely have Cloud Mist Peak’s instigation.

The Main Peak Elder had already led people there. If anything unexpected should happen, it could reignite the fires of war that had barely ceased between Cloud Mist Peak Cultivation Realm and Deadman Peak Cultivation Realm for less than twenty years.

Though Cloud Mist Peak ranks fifth among the Three Sects and Six Peaks, its overall strength isn’t much weaker than Deadman Peak. Without the Foundation Establishment Peak Master, Cloud Mist Peak hardly fears Deadman Peak.

Regarding this news, ordinary disciples are still focused on themselves, but Wen Jiu understood the underlying implications.

They likely aim to prevent Senior Brother Li Mu and his group from returning.

Behind it, there might not only be Cloud Mist Peak but also the Celestial Left Alliance.

In other words.

Cloud Mist Peak is aiding the Celestial Left Alliance.

Upon arriving at the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, Gu Daoist sent word again.

It was concerning Li Mu.

Among the four Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivators with Li Mu, two were Vice Hall Masters of the Inspection Hall, and the other two were Vice Elders of the Evil-slaying Department. The mysterious Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivator was Elder Ming Fengbai of the Evil-slaying Department!

Last night, the six of them fled to Celestial Grain Mountain in Cloud Mist Peak’s Cultivation Realm, only to be besieged by a thousand heterodox cultivators from the Ming Lineage under the Celestial Left Alliance.

One dead.

Three heavily injured.

Four captured.

Only Elder Ming Fengbai of the Evil-slaying Department managed to escape heavily injured!

Also, Master Gu learned from Ming Lineage cultivators that this siege was secretly supported by Senior Yin Yang Dust, who had full control over the specific whereabouts of Li Mu and his companions.

”Who exactly is this Senior Yin Yang Dust? This fate art is too dominating,” Wen Jiu mused in shock.

However, when he inquired about it with Gu Daoist, he got no results.

All he knew was that Senior Yin Yang Dust wasn’t from the Divine Fall Mountain Range, most likely hailing from the overseas Wusheng Three Gates.

That night, Wen Jiu saw a flying ship ascending from the peak, carrying Eastern Celestial City, Bai Jianxin, and other Main Peak Elders. Ye Chen wasn’t on the flying ship, perhaps left to guard the Main Peak.

”Are they planning to rescue Senior Brother Li Mu?” Wen Jiu speculated secretly and then prepared to go to All-Knowing Tower.

He wanted to find out more about this fate art.

With such a technique in existence.

As an Old Six.

It’s truly difficult to sleep tight!
