Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Lu Feng followed suit, "This Defensive Puppet Array has already reached Tier Three Top Grade quality, and with over ten thousand Tier Two Top Grade Spiritless Evil Flying Puppets guarding it, even if a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator arrives, breaking the array might take a long time."

Hearing their words, Wen Jiu carefully examined the Defensive Puppet Array below, "This old fellow has quite a poor sense of security; the Sect Protection Array is set with such a grand display. If not for the greed to swallow the Lu Family, he would definitely not leave the Brute Puppet Sect so easily this time."

After a detailed observation, Wen Jiu could confirm that this Han Yan Creek is indeed a massive turtle.

The Array of Ten Thousand Professions is its shell.

If deploying the Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi, breaking the array wouldn’t be difficult; it could exhaust the Yin Technique of over ten thousand Spiritless Evil Flying Puppets in mere days. Even if Brute Puppet Sect cultivators replenish it, it’s futile because the Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi will only grow larger, never filling.

But without using Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi, it becomes troublesome; pure corpse body confrontation is far from easy.

Nonetheless, Wen Jiu never intended to break this array.

"Corpse Ancestor, what should we do?"

Lu Feng inquired.

With a wave of his hand, Wen Jiu took out an object—the Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet identical to the Master of Many Evils—and fetched an Array Order from his storage bag. The Master of Many Evils was cautious, thus he was wary of those around him, never giving control of the Array of Ten Thousand Professions to anyone else.

The other Golden Core of Brute Puppet Sect ultimately held only usage rights. This is why Wen Jiu never thought of breaking the array.

"Master of Many Evils!"

Lu Taixuan and others were taken aback.

Lu Feng was too.

But upon seeing his timidity, even when taking out of the storage bag, the few couldn’t help but realize.

Living things don’t enter storage bags.

Only souls and dead objects can.

"Withdraw the array," Wen Jiu instructed, grateful for the millennium’s foundation sent by the Master of Many Evils.

The Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet dared not refuse, accepted the Array Order and began to maneuver it. If a second person uses the Array Order, it self-destructs, yet the Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet can even disguise Celestial Secrets, let alone deceive the Array Order?

"Withdraw!"

With the word.

The Array Order emitted a black light onto the Array of Ten Thousand Professions, which began to shrink mightily.

Over ten thousand Spiritless Evil Flying Puppets also dashed into the array at this moment, slowly retracting with the Defensive Puppet Array. Under everyone’s gaze, in merely ten breaths’ time, the Array of Ten Thousand Professions transformed into a black Array Disc that fell into the hands of the Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet, shocking Brute Puppet Sect cultivators thoroughly losing the courage to resist.

Lu Feng and others rejoiced, about to act and annihilate, but Wen Jiu halted them with a raised hand, "There are too many; you can’t kill them all. Spread the word that Brute Puppet Sect’s main sect cultivators plundered Brute Puppet Sect and fled, while Lu Family’s Golden Core returned empty-handed."

Lu Taixuan and others realized, a flash of respect in their eyes. As long as this message spreads, Brute Puppet Sect cultivators would become targets, their cultivation techniques and puppetry known among cultivators as if running naked—who wouldn’t recognize them?

Hence.

The Lu Family doesn’t need to act; many will eradicate them, as loose cultivators have long coveted major sects’ techniques. With Brute Puppet Sect’s downfall, its techniques are unclaimed and free to practice.

"Corpse Ancestor, wise indeed!"

Lu Taixuan and others bowed deeply, their eyes filled not with dread but with great delight.

The more malicious Corpse Ancestor is, the better for the Lu Family; in Golden Core disputes, it’s kill or be killed.

Those kind and naive had already become bones in the desert.

"Leave it to you all." Wen Jiu didn’t let East Spring Undying Bone enter the formation again, directly storing the Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet, then heard a cry for mercy suddenly coming from the Brute Puppet Sect’s Golden Core member.

Wen Jiu acted as if he hadn’t heard, controlling East Spring Undying Bone to look another direction five thousand miles away.

The Formless Demon Cultivator was there.

And Deng Lai too was there.

Precisely because they were present, the East Spring Undying Bone’s gaze fell unreservedly there.

A glance.

The Formless Demon Corpse fled in panic.

A glance.

The concealed Deng Lai broke into cold sweat.

...

Once the last Golden Core of Brute Puppet Sect perished, Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to return directly to Cold Pool Mist Valley. Given the Divine Sense search revealed nothing notable at Brute Puppet Sect.

As for the spoils of this battle, Lu Feng definitely wouldn’t embezzle, so he’s unwilling to bother personally.

However, after returning to Cold Pool Mist Valley, Lu Shouren, Lu Zhang, and Lu Hongying came apologizing the next day but sought Lu Chan.

"Lu Chan, in the name of our teacher-student relationship, please speak favorably of us before the Corpse Ancestor. We only acted out of necessity to preserve the Lu Family’s lineage, not deliberately to betray the Lu Family."

Lu Shouren lowered himself, begging bitterly. Now it wasn’t about regrets, but about survival.

Lu Hongying also offered a gift, "Lu Chan, I know I was wrong before; it was a misunderstanding. Every mistake was mine... You can take my Tier Three Spiritual Vein; I bear no resentment."

Lu Zhang also spoke up, offering his Tier Three Spiritual Vein as well, "You can take mine too."

Lu Chan looked at the three calmly, speaking indifferently, "Corpse Ancestor said, if you dare to take anything from the Lu Family when you’re leaving, you’d better stay in Donghua Immortal City forever."

Lu Shouren and the other’s expressions froze abruptly.

The Ancestor actually knew!

Yet they were thousands of miles away from Cold Pool Mist Valley, and Corpse Ancestor’s Divine Sense reached thousands of miles.

Thinking of this, the three were even more fearful.

"Lu Chan, my dear disciple..." Lu Shouren still wanted to plead, but Lu Chan coldly turned away.

After a few steps, Lu Chan stopped, "For the grace of teaching, I, Lu Chan, will repay you. I’ll personally ask Corpse Ancestor to spare you. But when you left Cold Pool Mist Valley without looking back, you were no longer fit to stay in the Lu Family!"

With that.

Lu Chan walked away.

"Thank you, thank you..." Lu Shouren, hearing this, finally settled his fearful heart.

But Lu Hongying, Lu Zhang became anxious.

They wanted to catch up and continue pleading, but were already sent out of Cold Pool Mist Valley by the array. Trying to approach again, a chilling murderous intent suddenly enveloped them.

At this moment, they dared not take another step forward.

A thought arose spontaneously; if they stepped further, they’d likely not leave alive today.

Meanwhile, Lu Chan returned to Cold Pool to meet East Spring Undying Bone, intending to plead for Lu Shouren, but Wen Jiu interrupted her with a raised hand, "The grace of teaching was repaid when you escorted Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks through Heaven-Reaching River. With your body gone, you’re merely a corpse now."

Lu Chan remained silent.

No further speech.

Wen Jiu spoke again, "However, I won’t kill him, but a betrayer cannot leave the Lu Family safely. Tell them those three from the Lu Family, the Golden Core matters are unrelated to them; staying means remaining part of the Lu Family. They can still enjoy the Spiritual Vein and cultivation resources of Lu Family and Brute Puppet Sect."

Lu Chan was taken aback.

This meant turning Lu Shouren and the other to be deserted by friends and family!

This statement could lead to no one willing to follow Lu Shouren unless of direct blood relation.

Even those of direct blood relation might be unwilling, as leaving the Lu Family means being a loose cultivator, staying means being part of a major sect’s cultivation. The difference is night and day.

At this moment, perhaps only blood relations would be willing to join.

"I’ll take care of it immediately!"

Lu Chan nodded.

Wen Jiu said again, "After resolving this matter, let Xinghe handle what needs to be done; you should spend more time cultivating. I’ve obtained a Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pill for you, which can aid in breaking through the Middle Realm."

Saying so, Wen Jiu presented the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pill, allowing Lu Chan to probe it with her Divine Sense.

He didn’t have the habit of painting grand promises, so he presented it upfront.

After probing, Lu Chan couldn’t hold back her excitement, kneeling down with a thud.

"Fellow Daoist Li... The rebirth grace of Corpse Ancestor will never be forgotten by Lu Chan in this lifetime."

Wen Jiu smiled with satisfaction.

Gesturing her to leave.

Once Lu Chan departed, another presence approached—Deng Lai. Alongside Deng Lai was another person; their aura was profound, surpassing Lin Yingyun Mountain significantly.

Comparable to Lin Zhuo.

Not to be underestimated.
