Chapter 1536

"The Extreme Yin Corpse General must die." Qinglong Daoren said coldly.

This is something no one can stop; any enemy who dares to enter Longshe Shan must die—this is the rule, and also a weapon to intimidate others.

The Extreme Yin Corpse General is a major trouble; once released, the danger to Longshe Shan would be even greater. Qinglong Daoren would never do such a foolish thing—letting the tiger return to the mountain is something only a blockhead would do.

As for the Corpse Refining Sect, is he afraid? Not at all; even if the Corpse Refining Sect were fiercer and stronger, it could not interfere with the Mangshan Mountain Range, let alone send people to attack here.

Qinglong Daoren firmly believes this.

"I know, I'm just worried that the Corpse Refining Sect might then target us, leading to a sneak attack. In open combat we're not afraid, but those people from the Corpse Refining Sect are best at sneak attacks and scheming; once they find an opportunity, they'll stop at nothing." Xinran Zhanglao was worried about Qinglong Daoren's safety, as well as Qi Haoyang and the others'.

If the Corpse Refining Sect learns Qi Haoyang and the others' identities, the Huang Family will surely have no peace; even with the protection of Tian Du Men, the Huang Family cannot withstand the Corpse Refining Sect's frenzy, after all, the Extreme Yin Corpse General is among the top five corpse generals of the Corpse Refining Sect, his status is not low—he cannot die for nothing.

The Corpse Refining Sect cannot act against Tian Du Men; dealing with them is still quite simple.

"Elder Xinran is right; we should think more comprehensively. The Extreme Yin Corpse General is troublesome—killing him is troublesome, not killing him is also troublesome." Tianlian Zhenren spoke; she also didn't know how to handle it, no matter what she did, she would offend the Corpse Refining Sect.

For the Extreme Yin Corpse General, even if he returns alive, it's still a disaster; he cannot let it go, nor can he forego revenge.

"I know, you don't need to worry; I've got everything covered." Qinglong Daoren smiled at the two women, soothing their hearts, letting them not worry too much nor be afraid—Longshe Shan is very safe; if the Corpse Refining Sect wanted to act against them, they'd first have to pass through the Mangshan Demon Palace and the Luotian White Snake Clan before reaching Longshe Shan.

Even Tian Du Men couldn't achieve this; the Corpse Refining Sect certainly couldn't either.

Moreover, the Corpse Refining Sect lost two corpse generals during its time with Tian Du Men; now the Extreme Yin Corpse General has fallen again, inflicting heavy losses on the Corpse Refining Sect, making another move impossible. They have gained a chance to catch their breath—at least they can enjoy a few peaceful years, unlike before when they lived in constant anxiety.

Xinran Zhanglao and Tianlian Zhenren no longer worried; since Qinglong Daoren said so, it shows he has a plan, and the two stopped speaking.

Qinglong Daoren stared at the formation as the Extreme Yin Corpse General was being drained, his vitality and corpse qi rapidly fading; Lian Hongchen showed no mercy, continually destroying his soul, causing it to collapse, the Corpse General's resistance weakening—this person would soon be drained dry by Lian Hongchen.

One day later.

Inside the formation, the Extreme Yin Corpse General resembled a desiccated corpse, all his vitality and flesh drained, his soul power about to dissipate, not a trace of corpse qi left—his appearance hardly differed from death, while Lian Hongchen was immensely powerful, her cultivation breaking through, her strength soaring to unprecedented heights.

At this moment, Lian Hongchen's face was flushed, she lowered her head to gaze at the Extreme Yin Corpse General and sneered, "Extreme Yin Corpse General, I never expected you to have this day, tsk tsk."

"Your accumulation is truly formidable; it took a full day to devour it completely."

"Thank you very much for your corpse qi and vitality; they have transformed half of my body, my cultivation method, my plan—half succeeded."

Her cultivation method differs from that of the Corpse Refining Sect; it turns humans into zombies, then back into humans—a process that is extremely lengthy and dangerous, a single misstep leading to total failure.

Lian Hongchen had schemed for years, transforming her human body into a zombie, then using the Corpse Refining Sect's Extreme Yin Corpse General to aid her growth, making this body second only to a Corpse King; the Extreme Yin Corpse General's investment in her was substantial—without him, she could not have reached this point.

"To be honest, I still need to thank you; without you, I couldn't have advanced this quickly."

"For my lifetime, you gave everything, Extreme Yin Corpse General; I will remember your kindness."

The Extreme Yin Corpse General was angered to death by these words, he glared at Lian Hongchen.

His withered body made his movements look terrifying, yet aside from staring, he could do nothing—he couldn't… continue fighting.

His strength was ruined, his soul power weakened; his body was originally human, even if corpse qi entered it, he wasn't a zombie—neither human nor corpse—he stared fixedly at Lian Hongchen, having painstakingly cultivated for over a thousand years, only to end up benefiting Lian Hongchen before him; he was unwilling.

"I'm not willing!"

The Extreme Yin Corpse General roared skyward, venting his inner dissatisfaction.

He was furious and also insane.

Yet he could not retaliate or act; at this moment he was hardly different from a corpse.

All he possessed ultimately became Lian Hongchen's bridal gown, cultivated for her sake.

"Extreme Yin Corpse General, you should be happy; for me you gave everything, I will advance to Corpse King, I will accomplish what you could not—you ought to take pride in me."

Lian Hongchen lowered her head, gave a faint smile; these words were heart‑killing.

Upon hearing this, the Extreme Yin Corpse General spat blood toward the heavens.

"Pfft."

Already weak, his body grew even weaker; that breath could snap at any moment.

His soul swayed, already beginning to scatter.

Lian Hongchen cracked her mouth into a cold smile: "Your body is a fine thing—can't let it go to waste."

"Heishanyang."

Heishanyang instantly understood, opening its massive jaws and gulping down the about‑to‑die Extreme Yin Corpse General; during the swallowing, the Corpse General's soul could not withstand that tremendous devouring force and vanished instantly.

It became part of the formation, swallowed by the mist and decomposed.

After Heishanyang devoured his body, it then spat out several items.

Lian Hongchen seized those things; they were all the Extreme Yin Corpse General's accumulations, plus his storage bag—having lost its master's storage bag, Lian Hongchen opened it and found what she had wanted.

A jade slip.

To be precise, there were several jade slips; this one caught her eye at once.

"The Extreme Yin Canon"—the cultivation method of the Extreme Yin Corpse General, also his most precious technique.

One of the top techniques in the Corpse Refining Sect, it is a secret not transmitted outward; ordinary disciples cannot access it, much less cultivate it—only the Extreme Yin Corpse General can practice this method.

This is also the source of his title; the Extreme Yin Canon forged the Extreme Yin Corpse General, this technique enabled him to become one of the top corpse generals in combat strength within the Corpse Refining Sect; Lian Hongchen had long coveted this method but could not obtain it—until now, she finally succeeded.

"The Extreme Yin Canon is finally in hand; this old lady has schemed for years just for this technique."

"The Extreme Yin Corpse General was overly cautious, refusing to pass this technique to me; now, however, it's not that I haven't gotten it into my hands."
