Chapter 1387: Continuation, the Extreme Yin Corpse General

Tian Du Men.

Jiang Wu returned and reported everything, including the matters concerning the Extinguishing Heart Ghost King and their plans; Tian Du Men naturally took it very seriously and immediately sent people to inspect the battlefield, but the outcome was unsatisfactory.

The Great Elder Guigu self‑destructed, and then the battlefield vanished, leaving no trace of anything; the dispatched troops almost never returned, dead without proof, and with no evidence Tian Du Men could not find any proof, thus could not act against the Corpse Refining Sect.

This move was perfectly flawless, everything was within the plan; as for the affairs between the Huang Family and the Bai Family, neither the Corpse Refining Sect nor Tian Du Men intervened, and the war inflicted heavy losses on both sides, so they could not intervene.

Moreover, Tian Du Men hopes the Huang Family will absorb the Bai Family and punish the Bai Family for this act, which also serves as a counter to the Corpse Refining Sect, warning them not to act rashly; this matter ends here, and if the Corpse Refining Sect commits any further actions, Tian Du Men will certainly not turn a blind eye.

Thus, both the Corpse Refining Sect and Tian Du Men fell silent; the Huang Family naturally accelerated the absorption of the Bai Family, not allowing the two sects to backtrack, and Tian Du Men, having received the news, appeared very calm.

Jiang Wu found Bai Hang; this matter could not be concealed, and Bai Hang was very interested, wanting to know more. After the Huang Family's actions halted, Bai Hang immediately informed Jiang Wu.

"Senior brother Jiang Wu, just as you guessed, the Faction intends to handle it coldly; the Huang Family successfully merged with the Bai Family to form an alliance led by the Huang Family. The Bai Family is not without resistance—its Family Head, Bai Longyue, is very clever; she knows the Corpse Refining Sect is unreliable and directly aligned with the Huang Family."

"The Corpse Refining Sect's plan failed this time; they certainly will not give up easily. If the Bai Family does not act, they will certainly face the Corpse Refining Sect's reckoning. This time, not only did Tian Du Men take a hit, the Corpse Refining Sect also suffered, having been outwitted by Guixin Elder and becoming a wedding dress for the Bai Family."

"There is one problem: after Guixin Elder devoured the Extinguishing Heart Ghost King, he seemed to have fallen; who killed him, and the plan of the Extinguishing Heart Ghost King you suspect, the things belonging to him, have vanished."

Holy Maiden Bai Hang lowered her voice and said cautiously, "That one is probably the Corpse Refining Sect's newest forged Corpse King; as a result, this whole incident occurred, and no one knows where it went."

"Is it possible that the Corpse King has already been successfully forged and left on its own?"

There was no trace at the site, not even the Formation, which had vanished.

Logically, the Great Elder Guigu's self‑destruction could not have injured the Corpse King, let alone cause it to be erased.

But they have no clues whatsoever, cannot find it, and do not know its whereabouts.

Similarly, the Corpse Refining Sect side is the same; staying quiet, it feels very off.

Jiang Wu's eyes grew puzzled as he said, "Junior sister, did you find no clues at all?"

Holy Maiden Bai Hang shook her head, "We didn't find any. When our people arrived at the site, there was only a layer of dust on the ground, no trace whatsoever, as if it had never existed. Senior brother, is what you said really true?"

Jiang Wu nodded seriously, "What I said is of course without any problem; this is not just my own experience. Luo Qing of the Accumulated Dust Sect, as well as Mu Long Wenlong and Mu Long Hai of the Mu Long Family, were all present. Unless they have all perished, this matter cannot be concealed."

"The Corpse Refining Sect is also that calm; that existence is probably not simple. They set up so many arrangements, intending to forge another Corpse King, but unexpectedly failed."

"Where did it actually go? Was it taken by someone, or did it leave on its own?"

Regardless of which possibility, it is not a good sign for Tian Du Men.

That is a future Corpse King, which could become a Corpse King at any moment; once that step is completed, the pressure on Tian Du Men will be great.

"Junior sister Bai Hang, you need to keep watching from now on; once found, report immediately to the Faction," Jiang Wu clasped his hands and pleaded.

"No problem, senior brother. This matter concerns the safety of Tian Du Men, and I cannot stand by idly," Holy Maiden Bai Hang patted her chest and answered earnestly.

Jiang Wu clasped his hands again, "Sorry to trouble you, junior sister."

"You're welcome; whatever concerns senior brother is also my concern," Holy Maiden Bai Hang replied. She was not lacking in emotional intelligence; this Jiang Wu senior brother was the effective heir to the Tian Du Men Sect Master. Among the many disciples of Tian Du Men, there are only a few holy sons, and he has the greatest hope.

In cultivation, talent, strength, temperament, and all aspects, he is extremely powerful; compared to him, Bai Hang has a huge gap, and in recent years she has been working hard to catch up, which is still very arduous.

Naturally, she must build a good relationship with this senior brother and cannot be perfunctory.

"Junior sister, I have noted your words; in the future, whenever you need anything, feel free to come to senior brother," Jiang Wu clasped his hands and left. Holy Maiden Bai Hang exhaled, narrowed her eyes, and stared toward the direction of the Huang Family.

"Cangzhou is getting more chaotic; this is not a good sign."

Corpse Refining Sect.

The Extreme Yin Corpse General's face turned sullen as he clenched his fists and stared at the empty floor inside the cave dwelling.

A Formation identical to the battlefield's, but its core was missing something.

A Black Wood Coffin.

That Black Wood Coffin had disappeared.

"My Black Wood Coffin—damn it, damn it—this old Extinguishing Heart Ghost King actually..."

"Damned, bastard."

Pfft.

The Extreme Yin Corpse General spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body swaying as if about to collapse, stumbling a few times and nearly falling to the ground; after struggling to steady himself, he shakily moved forward, touching the empty floor, his complexion turning extremely sallow.

His pale face bore no trace of blood.

His eyes bulged outward, pupils dilated to circles.

"My Corpse King, the future Corpse King, is just one step away, and he actually..."

His coffin, his Corpse King, have been stolen.

He only now realizes, only now discovers.

This place is completely empty.

The Extinguishing Heart Ghost King was ambitious and had always sought to betray him; the Extreme Yin Corpse General knew that the old ghost's forehead had been under his control of life and death, serving him as a capable aide. Unexpectedly, he dared to steal his coffin and the Corpse King that belonged to him.

How outrageous!

"Ah—ah."

The Extreme Yin Corpse General, who had roared at the heavens, quickly calmed down.

"We must find that Black Wood Coffin, we must find the Corpse King; that is the key to whether my Extreme Yin Corpse General can control the Corpse Refining Sect."

"The Corpse King is mine; no matter who it is, they cannot snatch my Corpse King."

"Huang Family, Tian Du Men, the Accumulated Dust Sect, the Mu Long Family, and Mangshan Demon Palace—wait for it. If anyone steals my Corpse King, I will be at odds with you all."

The Extreme Yin Corpse General gritted his teeth; he could not remain in the Corpse Refining Sect and must go retrieve it.
