Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 695: Chapter 337: Lu Shouren’s Shock, Corpse Ancestor Above

At this moment, Lu Shouren was sorting out the alchemy recipes he had collected over the years, preparing to revive the alchemy techniques he had once neglected. After all, after leaving the East Pole Immortal City, he had to give up his former businesses that earned Spirit Stones, and to maintain his daily cultivation practice, he must find new methods to earn Spirit Stones.

Donghua Immortal City is indeed a decent place to stay, but for an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, it is just a place to stay. It’s impossible to seize a Spirit Vein, build a market, or establish a trading house in that area.

Firstly, the area around the East Pole Immortal City is already occupied by various forces. Venturing out tens of thousands of miles might give him a chance to find a Spirit Vein, but no one will sell a Tier Three Spiritual Vein, and trying to seize it by force is perilous.

Secondly, trying to build a market or establish a trading house for business is even more challenging. In the Cultivation Realm, lower-level cultivators kill for a single Spirit Stone. Suddenly establishing a market or trading house in someone else’s territory would undoubtedly offend many, and the area around Donghua Immortal City is beyond the control of the Domain Lord’s Mansion, so there are many powerful loose cultivators and heterodox cultivators. If there’s a conflict of interest, the outcome for him will undoubtedly be worse than for the Lu family.

So, he could only rely on the myriad arts of cultivation to break the impasse. Fortunately, there’s always a demand in the market for these arts, especially alchemy. Even Golden Core cultivators, without the backing of a major power or the accumulation of Golden Core influences over a hundred years, can’t nurture a Tier Three Alchemy Master.

”Ah, what exactly did the Ancestor see in Lu Chan, willing to risk the entire Lu family to protect her?” Lu Shouren sighed, glancing around the mansion, his eyes full of helplessness.

”The Ancestor is confused.”

As he sighed again, Leng Sect and Lu Tianhong hurriedly landed outside the courtyard. If not for the array, they might have barged right in. Lu Shouren, already feeling a complex mix of emotions, was angered by his disciple’s recklessness, ”No manners, what form is this!”

”Master, Tianhong has urgent news!” Lu Tianhong hurriedly approached Lu Shouren as soon as the array barrier was removed, ignoring everything else.

Leng Sect followed closely behind.

But remained silent.

Lu Shouren complained, ”What matter must be said now, do you not know the current situation?”

”Master, it is you who do not know the current situation. Master of Many Evils has died, and the Brute Puppet Sect Golden Core cultivators have all fallen outside the Cold Pool Mist Valley. Now, the Lu Family Main Lineage, along with the other Great Elders, have attacked Han Yan Creek. The Lu Family Main Lineage and other branches have also answered the Ancestor’s order to attack the Brute Puppet Sect... The Brute Puppet Sect has been defeated, and it was a devastating defeat, with only the Golden Core cultivator heavily injured by Lu Chan remaining!” Lu Tianhong quickly relayed the intelligence he had gathered, while taking out the reports delivered by his own people.

Lu Shouren frowned and quickly snatched the reports from Lu Tianhong’s hands, his face grew increasingly grim as he read.

”Lu Family Corpse Ancestor...”

”Corpse Ancestor...”

Lu Shouren murmured in shock, immediately becoming fearful and restless, not daring to stay in East Pole Immortal City any longer.

Instead, he headed directly to where Lu Hongying and Lu Zhang were located.

After meeting with them, the three quickly took out the intelligence reports sent by their subordinates and examined them together, their faces turned increasingly solemn and pale.

Master of Many Evils had fallen.

Just a step away from reaching Tier Three Top Grade, the Dark Evil Nightshade that had merged with the Nether Blue Flame was also neutralized.

”How could this happen... It’s over... It’s over... The three of us are finished! No wonder the Ancestor wants to protect Lu Chan, no wonder the Ancestor wouldn’t let us touch Cold Pond Mist Valley or Qi Mountain, no wonder... no wonder...” Lu Hongying panicked repeatedly.

Lu Zhang felt the same.

Perhaps the Ancestor might spare them due to past sentiments, but what about that Lu Family Corpse Ancestor? How did a previously unknown Corpse Ancestor suddenly appear in the Lu family?

”Are we leaving or not?”

Lu Shouren asked, bewildered.

Lu Hongying replied angrily, ”Why leave? The Corpse Ancestor revealed themselves to obliterate the Brute Puppet Sect, clearly sending a message. The Longteng Family would not dare trouble the Lu Family afterward. The Lu Family is about to rise, and leaving now to live a hard life outside... You do that, I won’t.”

”Exactly!”

Lu Zhang agreed deeply.

But at this moment, Lu Shouren stated a reality, ”But we left when the Lu family needed us most. Not to mention the Corpse Ancestor, perhaps even the Ancestor wouldn’t allow us back into the Lu Family.”

Upon saying this,

The three of them looked at each other.

For a moment, they didn’t know what to do.

...

Han Yan Creek.

In the valley extending for dozens of miles were rows upon rows of Black Halls, countless in number. The roads leading to each hall were filled with Corpse Puppets, Iron Puppets, Wood Puppets of various shapes, all gazing blankly at the sky.

Because above them, the Sect Protection Array of Han Yan Creek had already been activated, and the thousand-year accumulation of flying puppets from the Brute Puppet Sect gathered densely overhead, blotting out the sky, forming a spectacular scene.

However, at this moment, no one appreciated this spectacular scene. The cultivators in Han Yan Creek had retreated to the core area of the valley to fully control the array and flying puppets. The Golden Core Zhenren leading them had a face full of despair.

This person was the Golden Core cultivator pretending to be seriously injured and stayed to guard the sect. Although he luckily avoided a disaster, now that the Lu Family had arrived, he was like a turtle in a jar. How much longer could he last relying on the Sect Protection Array?

A year?

Two years?

No matter how long, it was just waiting for death.

”The Array of Ten Thousand Professions, the thousand-year accumulation of the Brute Puppet Sect is truly remarkable. Each Spiritless Evil Flying Puppet is above Tier Two Top Grade, not possessing the capability of a late-stage Foundation Establishment, nor a Spiritual Puppet, but when combined with the Defensive Puppet Array, it’s equivalent to having ten thousand late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators for defense.” Lu Taixuan gazed at the Array of Ten Thousand Professions above Han Yan Creek, unable to resist expressing admiration.
