Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Then, shifting the conversation, he reassured the frightened Li Zhi beside him, "But there’s no need to worry, after that murderous intent chased him away, only He Jiu was left. As long as I don’t attempt a Realm Breakthrough, he surely won’t dare to approach and break the array. Let’s observe the situation; if things don’t go well, we’ll leave immediately. I refuse to believe Gongyang Fu would assist him repeatedly. If need be, we’ll attempt a Realm Breakthrough another day."

"What husband says is very reasonable; we have the foundation to act like this, but He Jiu does not." Li Zhi gradually calmed her nervous heart, which had been tense since the appearance of the Middle Stage Golden Core cultivator, feeling increasingly resentful towards He Jiu.

However, just as the words were said, that Middle Stage Golden Core Demon Cultivator who fled several hundred miles was caught up to, and forced to reveal his true form when overwhelmed by the waves of ghostly qi, his Demon Body swallowed instantly by a thousand-foot ghostly qi.

Zhong Qi and Li Zhi both had palms cold with sweat, as they could sense a terrifying aura in that overwhelming ghostly qi that made their bones shiver. If it were them, that single strike would be a deadly encounter.

At this moment, Wen Jiu’s expression also subtly changed.

Because when the Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi engulfed it, he could clearly perceive a several thousand-zhang area instantly devoid of spiritual beings, the usual invasive Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi had no effect when descended upon East Spring Water Demon Body this time.

"No wonder he could enter Nine Abysses, or even traverse the Lifeless Netherworld. Yet seeing this fellow’s surprised look, it seems he doesn’t understand this aspect either." Wen Jiu glanced through the East Spring Undying Bone at the transition from panic to delight of the Middle Stage Golden Core Demon Cultivator, unsure what to say, "This East Spring Water Demon Body is just right for me, using things to their full advantage, you know nothing, what a waste it is to give to you."

The Middle Stage Golden Core Demon Cultivator at this moment exploded in a wild, complacent grin, no longer the previous gloom, "Had it been a usual Middle Stage Demon Core Cultivator, they would not survive this strike without shedding a layer of skin, but my Water Demon Body remains unscathed. I should truly thank you, otherwise I wouldn’t realize my own strength."

The Demon Cultivator sneered, but just as he was about to act, he suddenly felt a force wrap around his demon core, meridians, and other areas. It’s Gu Insects, lots of Gu Insects!

When did they invade the body?

Though the Water Demon Body quickly emitted a force to obliterate those Gu Insects, it was already too late.

The East Spring Undying Bone used a Blood Corpse Escape, summoning Soul Capturing Power, making the shock in the Demon Cultivator’s eyes stop abruptly.

In ten breaths.

Everything returned to calm.

Before the Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi dissipated, Wen Jiu started to scrutinize the soul memories and East Spring Water Demon Body while ceasing to disguise the Formless Demon Corpse, revealing Formless Demon Body towards Zhong Qi and Li Zhi. All actions were for the Demon Cultivators of Dark Altar Lineage, not completely concealing from them, but at least misleading.

Just like the case with framing the He Family back in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

Besides, with his true identity hidden within Donghua Immortal City, Dark Altar Lineage would hesitate to enter the city based solely on suspicion to seek him.

Meanwhile, when Formless Demon Corpse exposed the Demon Body, Zhong Qi and Li Zhi’s faces tightened with disbelief.

"That’s not He Jiu!"

"That’s a Formless Demon Cultivator of the Dark Altar Lineage!"

"What’s going on?"

Zhong Qi was dumbfounded.

Li Zhi was even more perplexed.

But regardless of how bewildered, they could only focus their attention on the battle hundreds of miles away at Middle Stage Golden Core level.

An Early Stage Demon Core Formless Demon Cultivator was insufficient to break the large formation of his cave estate, so still, the focus was on the Middle Stage Golden Core battle. The more he watched, the more confused he became. Why was there no sound in that ghostly qi, and in a Middle Stage Golden Core battle, although not earth-shattering, it should not be so silent.

"Husband, doesn’t this feel odd?" Li Zhi questioned in puzzlement as she extended her Divine Sense but perceived nothing.

Zhong Qi was no different, growing more uneasy, hence two Tier Three Middle Grade Escape Talismans appeared in his hand.

He also kept an eye on the Communication Stone’s activity, if a message was sent from that Demon Cultivator requesting the Amber Witch Thought Killing Array, everything would be within the plan, but without such a message, the problem would potentially be more serious.

"No, we must leave quickly!" With resolute expression, Zhong Qi handed a talisman to Li Zhi beside him but as soon as he prepared to activate it, a ghostly qi surged madly towards the cave estate.

His immediate action to use the talisman halted, facing a Middle Stage Golden Core Ghost Cultivator expert in Escape Technique, escaping securely was highly improbable. Yet he could not fathom the inactivity of the Demon Cultivator.

Could it be they were accomplices?

Had he been deceived?

Yes!

Instead how could there be a Formless Demon Corpse!

"It was never He Jiu coming; it was Dark Altar Lineage staging an ambush on us!" Zhong Qi suddenly understood, "Thus there is a Formless Demon Corpse, thus the ghostly qi remains motionless."

"Husband!"

Li Zhi’s face turned deathly pale.

"Those damn Master Witch, and Du Yueqing, they must have sold the Yin Pill matter to the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect!" Zhong Qi cursed in frustration, "I should have realized earlier, though the East Splendor Divine Palace is a faction, it is fundamentally merchants, merchants pursue profit like Tribulation Cultivators, witnessing interest would exhaust all means to obtain, how could it be possible for them to keep secrets for us, He Jiu must have been aiding them in this play all along!"

Thinking this, Zhong Qi frantically took out the Communication Stone to relay the information back to his sect, but as Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to use Blood Corpse Escape to bypass the array and enter the cave estate, he halted with amused reluctance.
