Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Lu Feng raised his hand to remove the barrier of magical power and strolled to the door. As the vermillion door opened, revealing Lu Feng’s cold face, Lu Tianhong sensed something was amiss and quickly knelt on the ground with a thud, "Tianhong did not mean to disturb the ancestor and the esteemed elders, please forgive me, it’s truly an urgent matter!"

"No harm done, speak directly."

Lu Feng stood with his hands behind his back.

Lu Tianhong was about to speak, but upon glimpsing Lu Chan, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Once a junior sister.

Now she is a Golden Core Elder.

And in this life, he could only simulate a false core.

Such is fate.

Setting aside his thoughts, Lu Tianhong respectfully began, "Reporting to the ancestor and the elders, just now an Mid-stage Golden Core cultivator entered the East Pole Immortal City. Although they didn’t seem to come for the Lu Family, I immediately went to investigate and discovered it was Longteng Qianyue, a senior from the Longteng Family, entering East Pole Immortal City. I don’t know what they intend."

This statement stirred a commotion among the elders of the Lu Family, who had been silent and dared not speak.

Longteng Qianyue had previously threatened them to hand over the Qi Family’s assets to the Longteng Family. Initially, they were considering delaying as long as possible, waiting for the Domain Lord’s Mansion’s matters to settle before discussing and deciding.

But unexpectedly, Longteng Qianyue had suddenly entered the city.

The visitor harbors ill intentions.

Those with good intentions do not come.

The Lu Family’s Great Elder, Lu Taixuan, couldn’t help but ask, "Where is he now?"

"In the largest tavern in East Pole Immortal City, the Phoenix Fairy Ancient Tower, which was originally the Qi Family’s property, now under our Lu Family’s control. According to the message from the Lu Family’s disciples, Longteng Qianyue is having a drink in the tavern."

Lu Tianhong responded truthfully.

Upon these words, everyone’s expressions changed slightly once more.

Even Lu Changyin, who had been watching, seemingly indifferent to everything, was no exception.

However, Lu Feng did not express any thoughts on this, instead he turned to Lu Chan and said, "Go back to Qi Mountain directly, there’s no need for you to worry about the matters of East Pole Immortal City. Whatever happens, I will handle it."

"Understood!"

Lu Chan frowned, but upon realizing that the ancestor was sending her back not to Cold Pool Mist Valley but to Qi Mountain, she instantly understood something.

Watching Lu Chan leave, the elders of the Lu Family were incredulous. As the threat approached, the ancestor actually let Lu Chan go, and the words spoken before her departure...the ancestor had never said that to anyone else.

Could it be that Lu Chan didn’t form a low-rank Golden Core, but a Middle-Grade Golden Core, deceiving everyone?

If it wasn’t that,

They couldn’t think of any other reason.

The Lu Family’s Great Elder, Lu Taixuan, set aside his astonishment, not daring to think further, "Ancestor, Longteng Qianyue probably knows we are all in East Pole Immortal City, so they seized the opportunity to enter the city. Now everyone knows the matter of the Longteng Family demanding the Qi Family’s assets. If we ignore him completely, outsiders might think our Lu Family is afraid. If we don’t assert ourselves today, he might press forward and cause trouble for our Lu Family."

Lu Feng did not respond.

Assert ourselves?

How could he assert himself?

Longteng Qianyue dared to come, and surely he already knows. Perhaps Longteng Qianyue is eager for him to show up.

"Let him stew for ten days or so."

Lu Taixuan nodded.

The other elders remained silent.

As for Lu Shouren and Lu Hongying, they were no longer inclined to think about this matter, as the place they were going to was even more perilous.

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

In these few days, Longteng Qianyue had been inviting other two Mid-stage Golden Core cultivators from East Pole Immortal City to the Phoenix Fairy Ancient Tower.

The presence of Longteng Qianyue also drew the attention of all the forces in East Pole Immortal City to the Phoenix Fairy Ancient Tower and the seemingly inert Lu Family. In just one day, many rumors circulated that Lu Feng was already injured, with his strength diminished significantly, appearing strong outwardly but weak within, not daring to meet Longteng Qianyue.

Moreover, this rumor spread like wildfire, and within two days, everyone in East Pole Immortal City knew.

When Lu Chan relayed the news of Longteng Qianyue entering the city, and Lu Changyin shared the rumor with East Spring Undying Bone, Wen Jiu’s first thought was that this was likely another probe by Longteng Qianyue.

Spreading rumors was probably just the beginning, even if Lu Feng didn’t meet him, Longteng Qianyue might directly come to their door.

A visit.

A probe.

Perhaps it would reveal the truth.

"It’s definitely not viable to take action in East Pole Immortal City, the disturbance would be too big." Wen Jiu pondered, and then suddenly realized something. "I’m controlling Lu Feng’s mind, but I’m not aiming to expand the Lu Family. Letting go of the Qi Family’s assets would be fine. As long as I ensure the items for nourishing corpses I need aren’t in short supply, the Lu Family taking a hit wouldn’t matter.

But giving them to Longteng Qianyue is surely not feasible. Longteng Qianyue targets the Lu Family, likely intending not to let it end easily, so the best approach is to give them to the Qi Guang Sect. The ancestor of the Qi Guang Sect has not much time left, would surely accept, and would certainly use this opportunity to clash with the Longteng Family once more. Otherwise, when his time is up, the Qi Guang Sect might have no more chances. If the Qi Guang Sect is defeated, I’m still here.

As long as the two sects quarrel, the Lu Family can rest easy and prosper, much stronger than simply dominating Longteng Qianyue. After all, dominating Longteng Qianyue requires handing over the Qi family’s assets. If not surrendered, and forcing Longteng Qianyue, other Golden Core cultivators from the Longteng Family might also covet them, and by then, I won’t be able to control each as they come. So, ultimately, it comes down to making the two sects fight.

Thinking of this, Wen Jiu couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction, but to be cautious, Wen Jiu calculated the lifespan of Lin Yingyun Mountain once more.

Finding no changes indeed, and knowing that the people from the Domain Lord’s Mansion hadn’t helped extend his lifespan, Wen Jiu was relieved. Immediately, he asked Lu Chan to take his words back to the Lu Family. Lu Chan initially thought the ancestor wouldn’t care at all about this plan since many years ago, the ancestor had severed ties with the Qi Guang Sect.
