Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

"Senior, they have arrived."

Zhong Qi also conveyed this via Communication Stone at this moment.

A response came a few breaths later, first with a chillingly sinister low laugh, "My Divine Sense still can’t detect anything, yet you’ve noticed it before me. This Amber Witch Thought Killing Array truly lives up to its reputation."

"It’s merely a trivial technique. When truly faced with an undefeatable Great Cultivator, this Amber Witch Thought Killing Array is as useless as a chicken rib." Zhong Qi forced a smile, detecting that the other party wasn’t genuinely complimenting him, so he didn’t continue the conversation.

Yet, the Demon Cultivator seemed unwilling to let it go, "If someone at my level intervened, even this Amber Witch Thought Killing Array should be handed over to me."

With these words.

Zhong Qi fell into silence.

But considering He Jiu is merely at the Early Stage of Golden Core, even if he has some connection with Gongyang Fu, Gongyang Fu wouldn’t invite a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator for him, "Since the senior has spoken, how can the junior refuse?"

"Smart choice."

The Demon Cultivator chuckled, his laugh still sinister and deep, akin to a wolf lurking in the dark, lowly growling at its prey.

Beside him, Li Zhi’s face turned pale, with a hint of worry in her eyes. As Zhong Qi stored away the Communication Stone, she spoke quickly, "Husband, this Demon Cultivator is insatiably greedy. I’m afraid that even if we give him the Amber Witch Thought Killing Array, he won’t be satisfied."

"No matter, as long as we can kill that He Jiu, what’s a bit of cost? Besides, with the Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills, I’m confident of successfully breaking through the realm. We can reclaim the cost from the He Family tenfold or hundredfold, including your Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pills!" A flash of determination gleamed in Zhong Qi’s eyes.

"Husband..."

Li Zhi gazed at Zhong Qi with deep affection.

Zhong Qi smiled faintly, but the tenderness in his eyes was quickly overtaken by killing intent, as he stared intently at the direction indicated by the Amber Witch Thought Killing Array.

Meanwhile, the mid-stage Golden Core Demon Cultivator, thousands of miles away, slowly rose, glanced around briefly, and transformed into a dark stream that burrowed underground, swiftly heading towards Zhong Qi and Li Zhi’s location. Not long after, he stopped thousands of miles away from the Tier Three Spiritual Vein, silently waiting for He Jiu and his companions to arrive.

Having attempted repeatedly to probe the surroundings, yet unable to capture any aura with his Divine Sense, his desire for the Amber Witch Thought Killing Array erupted like a geyser. This technique is truly powerful.

For someone who constantly hides in the West Mountain Floating Domain and remains wary of the Domain Lord’s Mansion cultivators, such a method of monitoring the surrounding world was essential. Initially, he only intended to leverage Zhong Qi’s faction to accelerate the cultivation of the True Spirit Demon Tree, but now realized he also needed to acquire the Amber Witch Thought Killing Array.

"Zhong Qi agreed so readily, it seems he’s confident no mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator will take action."

"Looks like I need to devise a plan."

The mid-stage Golden Core Demon Cultivator immediately fell into contemplation.

As for the so-called He Jiu.

He didn’t care at all.

Just an early-stage Golden Core.

After a long contemplation, the mid-stage Golden Core Demon Cultivator’s thoughts suddenly halted, "I could secretly ease off those people and cause some trouble for Zhong Qi. This way, it would definitely help me acquire the Amber Witch Thought Killing Array."

"I enjoy getting involved in the internal strife of West Mountain Floating Domain cultivators. They always bring unexpected surprises." The Demon Cultivator, who had morphed into a dark stream and settled underground, slowly transformed into a smug and sinister smile.

But just at that moment, the Communication Stone suddenly activated again, with Zhong Qi’s reminder echoing from it.

"Senior, he’s here!"

"He’s here!"

Zhong Qi’s voice was urgent.

It seemed He Jiu was already close.

But he felt nothing.

"There... Why is there only one person?" The mid-stage Golden Core Demon Cultivator’s Divine Sense focused on the forest two thousand miles away.

In the next instant.

That person suddenly grinned.

"What’s happening?"

Before he could react, a wisp of ghostly aura erupted behind him, followed by a voice that made his Demon Body tremble.

"He was referring to me."

What!

The Golden Core Demon Cultivator’s Demon Body shuddered, feeling the Soul Capturing Power and the mid-stage Golden Core aura crashing down, he immediately exploded into mist, his Demon Body transforming into hundreds and thousands of water droplets fleeing in all directions. Which was the true body, and which was the fake body—even the Divine Sense of the East Spring Undying Bone couldn’t discern.

However, Wen Jiu had already locked onto it using the Corpse Fate Technique, so as it morphed into water droplets for escape, he instantly used an Escape Technique to follow. But one must admit, this East Spring Water Demon Body is quite interesting.

Though it cannot transform into everything like Formless Demonic Qi, mimicking any aura, it possesses the ability to resist the divine probing of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. If it were merely an ordinary late-stage Golden Core attempting to capture him, a single failed strike might actually let him escape. This escape capability is almost comparable to that of the East Spring Undying Bone.

"What’s happening, and why can it keep tracking me?" Since cultivating this Demon Body at the end of East Spring River, this Yin Water Escape Technique has saved him from death countless times, even during the Early Stage of Demon Core, escaping repeatedly from late-stage Golden Core cultivators. Yet today, this Ghost Cultivator can precisely lock onto his true body and pursue relentlessly.

At the moment the aura erupted, Zhong Qi and Li Zhi in the Tier Three Yin Vein, along with many cultivators surrounding it, all shuddered. Both sides were terrified, though to varying degrees.

"He Jiu truly invited a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator to intervene, how is it possible, why would Gongyang Fu go to such lengths to help him?" Zhong Qi couldn’t believe it. He immediately ceased his realm breakthrough, daring not to make any further move.

Li Zhi was equally baffled, "Husband, what should we do next?"

"Gongyang Fu actually got a mid-stage Golden Core to help He Jiu. In this case, that Demon Cultivator will be restrained and won’t help us. If we continue with the realm breakthrough, He Jiu will definitely do his utmost to harass us. Although he has just entered the Golden Core stage, he has the Dual Cultivation of Body and Technique. If both of us give our all, we might suppress him, but if I’m breaking through, you alone can’t withstand him." Zhong Qi was momentarily flooded with thoughts.
