Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 714: Chapter 346: Reestablishing Qiguang, Ritual and Justice Decide

When Lin Hai, Red Fire Zhenren, Pei Wuxing, and the others arrived, the East Spring Undying Bone had already collected the corpse, but the previous scene was clearly sensed by their Divine Sense.

”Corpse Ancestor.”

Lin Hai bowed even deeper.

Red Fire Zhenren also showed much respect, ”With such a corpse, surely in the entire West Mountain Floating Domain, there would be no third person like you.”

The first would be the Domain Lord of the West Mountain Floating Domain.

Below him.

The Lu Family Corpse Ancestor would surely be the first.

What amazed Red Fire Zhenren the most was the immense power displayed without even reaching the Late Stage of Golden Core.

Pei Wuxing also bowed deeply, wiping away any previous thoughts from his mind.

How could the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor be that Du the Corpse Cultivator?

”Once an arrow is released, there is no turning back. Spread the word, and relay Dragon Soaring Thousand Autumns’ statements to Longteng Liyi. As for those Golden Core Influences adding insult to injury, send them a message for me, asking if their Golden Core Ancestor can last even a second longer than Dragon Soaring Thousand Autumns.”

As the words fell.

Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone and immediately returned, heading straight for the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven.

...

One day.

In just one day.

The news spread throughout the western West Mountain Floating Domain, and all Golden Core Influences received the news immediately. Those who were like hungry wolves converging on the Qi Guang Sect’s territory, withdrew their clan members and disciples that day, no longer advancing upon the Qi Guang Sect’s land.

For no other reason, if Dragon Soaring Thousand Autumns was rendered without a Golden Core like a Qi Refining Cultivator, without even the strength to retaliate, how could those in the Early Stage of Golden Core, and even those not as strong as Dragon Soaring Thousand Autumns in the Middle Stage of Golden Core, dare to advance further? To hide a Spirit Vein or seize a Spirit Ore, what can these be worth? They feared the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor making an example of them.

However, constrained by the authority of Longteng Liyi, many Golden Core Influences only retreated a short distance and dared not withdraw completely. After all, to retreat would also mean offending the Longteng Family.

Seeing such a situation, those among the loose cultivators who knew the inside story were overjoyed.

This scene, such a spectacle, is rarely seen in a millennium.

Those Golden Core Influences, usually flaunting their might and standing aloof, today are no better than loose cultivators, caught between the Lu and Longteng families, unable to advance or retreat.

Truly humbling.

Truly stifling.

It’s more liberating to be a loose cultivator.

Simultaneously, the Lu Family also received the news, and the Lu Family’s Great Elder Lu Taixuan and others immediately went to Cold Pool Mist Valley. Along the way, there was excitement, but also some worry.

The excitement was because they had long suffered at the hands of the Longteng Family, never daring to resist, but now the Corpse Ancestor effortlessly killed Dragon Soaring Thousand Autumns and declared protection over the Qi Guang Sect. This so-called protection is akin to incorporating the Qi Guang Sect into their fold. Would anyone in the Qi Guang Sect dare defy the Corpse Ancestor in the future?

”When has the Lu Family ever held such prestige?” As the eldest in the Lu Family aside from the ancestor, the Lu Family’s Great Elder Lu Taixuan sighed genuinely as they headed to Cold Pool Mist Valley.

In fact, Lu Taixuan and others weren’t the only ones; even the thought of the now estranged Lu Shouren, Lu Hongying, and Lu Zhang, who feared the Corpse Ancestor’s wrath, also received the news in a certain Independent Practitioner Immortal City.

When the three heard this news, their eyes dimmed significantly; they exchanged glances, and upon seeing the handful of people beside them, regret was plainly visible. Had they not retreated back then, they would have shared in the Lu Family’s glory. But now, they could only take their close kin and roam to distant lands, becoming loose cultivators living under someone else’s roof.

Although, as Golden Core cultivators, finding a place to settle was not difficult, every piece of land under their feet was owned by someone. To protect that land means facing all kinds of overt and covert attacks.

While in the Lu Family, simply showing the Lu Feng ancestor’s name would make any Golden Core back down.

Even if they were stronger, they had to yield.

”Sigh.”

Lu Hongying sighed.

Lu Shouren was also silent beside her.

But Lu Zhang suddenly stood up and looked coldly at the two with seeming resentment, ”If it weren’t for you two leading the pack, how would I have retreated? Now you’ve made me leave home and have nowhere to stand!”

With that said.

Lu Zhang stormed off in anger.

Utterly resolute.

...

Of course.

This news also quickly reached Nangong Huan’s ears, and Deng Lai could not help but feel a moment of fear, once again thankful for not overstepping his bounds at the Lu Family, and that the Domain Lord’s rules saved his life.

Upon learning the news, Nangong Huan was unsurprised, ”As expected, the Qi Guang Sect presented something to the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor that was tempting. If it made the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor willing to kill Dragon Soaring Thousand Autumns and declare protection over the Qi Guang Sect, that thing must be extraordinary.”

”If such a good thing existed, why didn’t Lin Yingyun Mountain use it themselves or trade it with others, but let the Qi Guang Sect fall apart?” Deng Lai, upon hearing the Divine General’s words, suddenly understood.

He had only been filled with amazement and gratitude just before, without contemplating the deeper meaning behind it.

Thinking about it now.

What exactly did Lin Hai present that moved the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor so?

”Perhaps it was some heterodox sinister object; otherwise, why wouldn’t Lin Yingyun Mountain use it.” A hint of interest also appeared in Nangong Huan’s eyes, ”These major sects truly have deep foundations. It’s a pity, being part of the Domain Lord’s Mansion, otherwise, there would indeed be a desire to vie for it.”

”My lord, then what should we...”

Deng Lai quickly asked.

Nangong Huan shook his head, ”No need to interfere or investigate; what’s meant for us is not there, but in the heart of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. However, closely monitor Longteng Liyi’s movements, as I can think of them, Longteng Liyi also cannot be unaware that the old guy won’t engage in battles of pride, and he won’t act unless he’s confident. Even if Dragon Soaring Thousand Autumns died a hundred or a thousand times, he might not seek personal revenge. But if it involves a significant opportunity, Longteng Liyi’s attitude will be entirely different. He has been stuck at this realm for centuries and longs to break through, not wanting to end up like Lin Yingyun Mountain.”

”My lord, I’ll send someone to keep an eye on things immediately!” Deng Lai nodded and quickly departed from the East Pole Immortal City.

...

Dragon Fall Valley.

Longteng Family.

With the death of Dragon Soaring Thousand Autumns and the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor’s declaration of protecting the Qi Guang Sect, Longteng Liyi promptly summoned the Great Elder Longteng Wuxing, Longteng Qianyue, and five Golden Core Middle Stage Elders back.

”Wuxing, have you found any useful information from the souls of Lin Yingyun Mountain’s kin?” Longteng Liyi sat expressionlessly in the main seat, the shadow conveniently concealing him.

Longteng Wuxing and the five Golden Core Middle Stage Elders sat solemnly, daring not to make a large breath. Outside, they were the high and mighty elders of the Longteng Family, but here, they were no different from ordinary Golden Cores.

As Dragon Soaring Thousand Autumns said, perceiving the ancestor is like an ephemera gazing at the heavens. The gap here is more than vast; perhaps in this lifetime, they could never catch up, let alone surpass.

”Reporting to the ancestor, no useful findings yet, but some have not yet been soul-searched. My people are addressing it.” Longteng Wuxing spoke anxiously, not daring to meet Longteng Liyi’s eyes hidden in the shadow.

Longteng Liyi’s ethereal voice resonated once more, ”What about the others, no information whatsoever?”

Longteng Qianyue and the others couldn’t help but feel a twinge in their hearts, remaining silent and daring not to speak.

At this moment.

The room plunged into deathly silence.

Pin-drop silence.

The sunlight outside was mild, yet inside the room was as cold as a bitter winter, sending chills down the spine.

A long time passed.

Longteng Liyi cautiously opened his mouth, his tone calm, yet scarcely suppressing his anger, ”That Lu Family Corpse Ancestor is certainly not reckless; he only revealed himself after being driven into a corner by the Master of Many Evils.

Now, openly protecting the Qi Guang Sect and killing our clan elder, he clearly has something to rely on. The most significant possibility is that the Qi Guang Sect offered something that the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor could not refuse. Perhaps that thing is the Qi Guang Sect’s final and greatest asset.”

Longteng Wuxing quickly responded, ”The ancestor speaks rightly; the Qi Guang Sect’s almost three-thousand-year foundation could hardly be limited to just Spirit Veins and Secret Techniques. Ancestor, I will immediately increase manpower to verify this.”

”No need.” Longteng Liyi cautiously replied, his tone chilling, ”Time waits for no one. Whatever forced the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor to risk war with us, our Longteng Family must obtain it. Otherwise, should the Qi Guang Sect fall and a new Lu Family emerges to challenge us, then the sacrifices of our Longteng family across generations, their deaths will be utterly meaningless!”
