Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

This time, the Brute Puppet Sect sent out all their Golden Core cultivators.

The Brute Puppet Sect has twelve Golden Core cultivators, with eleven in the Early Stage of Golden Core; apart from those heavily injured by Lu Chan, the other ten followed the ancestor Master of Many Evils in a grand parade towards the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

When setting out, the Brute Puppet Sect spread the message that they were only targeting Lu Chan, and had no other conflicts with the Lu Family.

But any keen observer could see that the Brute Puppet Sect wasn’t just targeting Lu Chan alone. If it were only Lu Chan, why would Master of Many Evils set out immediately after receiving the news of Lu Feng’s Divine Soul being severely injured?

The same goes for the Lu Family.

The Lu Family members were even more aware of this fact.

For a while, people were in a state of panic, and even the Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House was slightly affected.

After all, Lu Chan is the force behind the Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House.

Wen Jiu, upon hearing this news from Lu Feng, didn’t care about the Master of Many Evils; he was merely working for the Longteng Family. Now that the Longteng Family is preoccupied with taking over the Qi Guang Sect, they have no time to deal with the Lu Family, allowing the Brute Puppet Sect to act as the most effective flying knife.

If the Master of Many Evils dared to come, then he would be killed, nothing more to say. But killing him would mean completely exposing the persona of the East Spring Undying Bone, and the subsequent waves wouldn’t be small.

Then there is Deng Lai.

Deng Lai wanted all the Tier Three Yin Veins in Qi Mountain, Cold Pool Mist Valley, and the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, obviously not for himself. That fact alone spells trouble.

For whom, eight or nine times out of ten, it’s Nangong Huan.

And the matter is undoubtedly related to the activities of the Dark Altar Lineage in the core region of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

Nangong Huan’s plan represents that of the Domain Lord’s Mansion, indicating that the Domain Lord is already paying attention to the situation in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. Whether to continue holding onto Cold Pool Mist Valley and Qi Mountain is a question.

What Deng Lai and Nangong Huan intend to do with Qi Mountain and Cold Pool Mist Valley is also a question.

As for the first question, he can deliberate on his own; but for the latter, he needs observation and intelligence gathering.

According to Lu Changyin, the actions of the Spirit Suppressing General are extremely confidential at the moment, and the Dark Altar Lineage of Hidden Demon Sect hasn’t yielded any intelligence. Even the spies within the Spirit Suppressing General could not gather useful information.

"Both sides are engaged in a game of strategy." Wen Jiu pondered deeply and finally decided not to abandon Qi Mountain and Cold Pool Mist Valley.

The reason consists of two points.

First.

The Corpse Fate Technique has already reached perfection, and if there is any real danger, the East Spring Undying Bone can withdraw at any time with the items.

Second.

He also wants to see what kind of fortunes there might be. In summary, as long as the divination result of the Corpse Fate Technique is not too risky, the East Spring Undying Bone won’t rush to leave the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

After all, it’s just a persona.

After all, it’s just an External Golden Core.

If the external item isn’t risked a little, what’s the purpose of painstakingly cultivating the External Golden Core?

As for the Lu Family, frankly speaking, without him, they would have sunk long ago when the Qi Family put pressure on them. Now they’re extended because of him; after the East Spring Undying Bone leaves, they’ll surely rise again due to Lu Chan and perhaps reach new heights, so Wen Jiu doesn’t mind using the Lu Family in this respect, and he won’t feel slightest guilt.

Not being like a Heterodox Evil Cultivator who breaks promises and flip-flops is already his final kindness.

Practicing the Heterodox Dao.

Cannot be like the righteous path.

No.

It seems there’s no real righteous path in this world either.

After all, they are all self-interested individuals who only appear where there is no interest.

"So it turns out everyone is like me, then I am the righteous path!" Wen Jiu smiled slyly, wondering why he never realized this before. The Heterodox Dao is just a method, but he stands on the proper path.

In the future, if anyone calls him a Heterodox Demon.

Then they deserve to die.

Slander comes with a price.

...

Inside Cold Pool Mist Valley.

Both loose cultivators and Lu Family cultivators in Fog Valley have received the news from the Brute Puppet Sect. Loose cultivators have already evacuated first, reluctant to linger, cherishing their lives.

The same applied to Lu Family cultivators. Those who stayed are mainly Heterodox cultivators from Lu Chan’s lineage. For them, Lu Chan is their ancestor.

If the ancestor dies, they won’t have a good outcome, hence they have no retreat path.

Lu Tianhong and Leng Sect both came to Cold Pool Mist Valley in spite of themselves. Leng Sect was worried about Lu Chan, so he came immediately. Even though he knows his master doesn’t get along with Senior Sister Lu Chan, he still came without hesitation.

"Senior Sister, currently, those Lu Family main lineage members in East Pole Immortal City have some complaints about the ancestor’s command to protect you, and I hear the Second Elder and others are trying hard to dissuade the ancestor... but fortunately, the ancestor is very determined." Leng Sect consoled, but upon recalling the ancestor’s condition isn’t good either, he wavered if this was really consolation or something else.

Lu Chan took it casually, just glanced towards the Cold Pond direction in the core region of Cold Pool Mist Valley.

Li Bai is still present.

"Junior Brother, it’s unsuitable to stay here long." However, because Li Bai was still present, she immediately reminded Leng Sect, knowing his temperament that since he came, he wouldn’t leave with just a few words, "Above the Golden Core, you can’t intervene. Take care of the juniors and Xinghe for me."

"Senior Sister..."

Leng Sect was at a loss for words, his eyes reddened.

Nearby Lu Tianhong spoke at this moment, "Lu Chan, to be honest, I envy your luck. You have the chance for Pill Transformation Rebinding, while I can only wait for the life span of Foundation Establishment to end."

Without waiting for Lu Chan or Leng Sect to speak, Lu Tianhong quickly added, "You don’t wish to chasten me quickly, but today I am here just to ask on behalf of Leng Sect, the master, the ancestor, and the Lu Family, are you truly going to let all Lu Family members sink into hardship for your sake?

The ancestor’s Divine Soul is injured, with not much fighting left, if he comes to Cold Pool Mist Valley to protect you, causing Master of Many Evils to exploit the opportunity, can you assure the ancestor’s safety, as he has assured yours?"

"You don’t understand, and I can’t tell you." Lu Tianhong was the person Lu Chan liked the least, and previously didn’t want to see at all, so she didn’t bother to say much to her.

But she knew that Lu Tianhong’s visit was probably not of her own volition, but instructed by someone else.

Leng Sect coming as well, clearly someone pushed him from behind too. Yet knowing Leng Sect’s character, it’s impossible he was instructed by anyone to persuade her, so whoever pushed for this didn’t tell him to come and persuade her.

One who understands this method, eight or nine times out of ten, is her master. Without Li Bai, the combined talk of Leng Sect and Lu Tianhong would be enough to make her step forward and sacrifice herself for the Lu Family.

"Leave, don’t come again." Lu Chan didn’t want to speak further, turning away to fly towards the Cold Pond.

Leng Sect tried to say more, but pursued two steps only to be blocked by the Array, he could only sigh and look to Lu Xinghe behind him.

Lu Tianhong was discontented to speak again, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a Golden Core Power rushed out fiercely.

Boom—

Lu Tianhong flew out a hundred feet like a broken kite.

After stabilizing her form, she dared not say more, just turned and informed the elders of the Lu Family about the incident.

...

Sealed Forbidden Cave Mansion.

"Senior, do we really not need to go find Fellow Daoist Han?"

After returning from hunting demons in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, Feng Jue noticed the retreat of loose cultivators from Cold Pool Mist Valley, thinking of finding Han Li to inquire, but was stopped by Han Tianxing. Seeing even the Lu Family come to persuade Lu Chan, he could barely contain himself.

Han Tianxing’s soul flew out of Feng Jue’s body, much stronger than before.

Because Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks lacks materials or medicines to restore the Divine Soul but such spiritual items and medicines in Hundred Floating Domains can be easily purchased with Spirit Stones.

"No need to go."

If Han Li doesn’t leave.

Then they shouldn’t leave.

No need to even ask.

Subsequently, Han Tianxing added, "Continue your cultivation, if you’re afraid, go hunt demons in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. But don’t go in too deep, there’s something strange about the Celestial Yin Mountain Range lately."

"Senior, you’re not hiding anything from me, are you?" Feng Jue glanced at Han Tianxing thoughtfully.

Han Tianxing paused, "You dare suspect me?"

Feng Jue laughed awkwardly.

When he recalled Han Tianxing had given him even the cultivation techniques of the Nascent Soul level from big sects, yet he suspected Han Tianxing.

How disgraceful.

"Senior, I didn’t mean that..."

Han Tianxing stroked his beard and smiled, "Alright, I forgive you, young lad..."

Suddenly.

Han Tianxing’s voice halted abruptly.

Then he spoke urgently.

"There are many Golden Core cultivators approaching Cold Pool Mist Valley!"
