Chapter 1540

Corpse Refining Sect.

Inside the dim Dadian, candlelight flickered, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

A figure stood in the candlelight, his build rather thin, the flickering candlelight continually casting his shadow, the silent Dadian very desolate.

After a silence lasting a quarter hour, the figure above slowly spoke: "Ji Yin died? Are you sure?"

The First Corpse General cupped his hands and said: "Report to Sect Master, Ji Yin is dead, his soul tablet also shattered, all backup measures cannot be activated, and we cannot find the killer; likely even his soul could not return."

The killer's ability is not simple; Ji Yin's life-saving means are top-notch, yet not a single soul could escape.

Moreover, the zombies Ji Yin left behind have also lost control; that was his final resort—if even a fragment of his soul returned, he could... be resurrected.

However, there was none; not a single soul returned.

The First Corpse General waited a long time, finally confirming he had indeed been killed, his soul and spirit scattered, with no possibility of resurrection.

After the Third Corpse General and the Green-Haired Corpse General, Ji Yin's death meant the Corpse Refining Sect lost three Corpse Generals, its strength greatly diminished; this important matter must be reported to the Sect Master, otherwise the Corpse Refining Sect would likely fall into crisis, and then face the wrath of Tian Du Men.

The figure above pondered for a long time, his gaze slowly falling on the First Corpse General, saying: "Jiang Tiensheng, what do you think we should do now?"

This move has offended Tian Du Men; the Tian Du Dragon King will surely take revenge and will not let it rest; we Corpse Refining Sect must still confront him, and we have little time.

Ji Yin was the most likely to advance to Corpse King; now that he's dead, no one can replace his position, nor can anyone advance to Corpse King—the other Corpse Generals either lack strength or have no brains, thinking only of themselves.

Once the Corpse Refining Sect draws the attention of Tian Du Men, the Mangshan Demon Palace will certainly not let us off either; Diewumeng has become the new Demon Queen, she is likely to step into the Tribulation Realm, and once she breaks through, it may be the time of our Corpse Refining Sect's disaster.

The Accumulated Dust Sect has always been hiding, and other factions as well all hope our Corpse Refining Sect falls.

Once the faction is destroyed, our fate will not be good.

They are grasshoppers on the same boat; nobody can... escape.

Sect Master, I know this; the Tian Du Dragon King's side is not easy to recover; I will send people to assassinate him—if successful, good; if not, there's little loss.

On the Mangshan Demon Palace side, Diewumeng wants to advance, but it's not easy; once she completes her advancement, she must undergo tribulation, and when that happens, the entire Mangshan Mountain Range will be shaken; I will absolutely not let her tribulation succeed.

As for the Accumulated Dust Sect, there's no need to worry; they cannot compare to our Corpse Refining Sect, and they are only fit to strike from behind.

First Corpse General Jiang Tiensheng looks down on the Accumulated Dust Sect, and does not take Diewumeng seriously; the Mangshan Demon Palace is no longer what it once was, its threat greatly diminished.

The Sect Master's worries, also worries; Jiang Tiensheng comforted the Sect Master, the Corpse Refining Sect Sect Master stared at Jiang Tiensheng, waved his hand and said: "Leave these matters to you; handle them yourself."

You are the next Sect Master; nowadays, most of the faction's affairs are entrusted to you; I will soon step down, within thirty years the Corpse Refining Sect will be the domain of you young people, Jiang Tiensheng, can you lead the Corpse Refining Sect to dominate Cangzhou?

Jiang Tiensheng loudly answered: "Can."

Very good, you have this confidence, very good; this seat believes in you, hoping you can follow through. Corpse Refining Sect Sect Master waved his hand, letting him leave.

First Corpse General Jiang Tiensheng withdrew; inside the Dadian, only the candlelight flickered; a moment later, the Corpse Refining Sect Sect Master raised his head, gazing outward.

At the pitch-black doorway, corpse qi continually surged; after a while, the corner of his mouth rose: "Jiang Tiensheng, your ambition is great; the Sect Master's position is yours for the taking; this time Ji Yin's death, is it also related to you?"

My Sect Master's people, you killed three; for your own purpose, you did not hesitate to weaken the Corpse Refining Sect's strength.

Hmph, you want the Corpse Refining Sect; my Sect Master giving it to you is no problem; by then you will have to face the Tian Du Dragon King directly, as well as Diewumeng.

These two are not easy to deal with, while he can hide behind the scenes, watching how Jiang Tiensheng handles things.

Within the Corpse Refining Sect, it is not a monolithic block.

……

Tian Du Men.

Bai Hang Holy Maiden respectfully bowed: "Master."

Wu Mie Zhenren nodded: "Has the Dragon King had any movement?"

Reporting to Master, there has been no movement; the Dragon King has been in seclusion, likely not recovering soon. Bai Hang Holy Maiden stared at the lake surface; the calm lake surface had not a ripple; heaven and earth spiritual qi sank into... tranquility, and the surroundings also returned to wholeness.

Bai Hang Holy Maiden worried: "Master, is the Dragon King alright?"

Wu Mie Zhenren did not answer this question, but stared at the heaven and earth spiritual qi over the lake, thick enough to form mist, enveloping the lake surface; the formations around also enveloped, not allowing anyone to enter.

Bai Hang Holy Maiden has been guarding this place; she did not leave, overly worried about the Tian Du Dragon King, so she guards here; this is also her duty.

Bai Hang, you need not watch this place; the Dragon King will be fine; go cultivate first, this incident frightened you, you must hasten to raise your cultivation and strength, otherwise, if you encounter such a thing again, you... Wu Mie Zhenren wanted to harshly say a few unpleasant words to stimulate this disciple.

The words reached his lips, but he could not utter them; in the end, they softened.

Your strength is too weak; what do you feel about this incident?

Bai Hang Holy Maiden cupped her hands: "Master, I am too weak to help in any way."

This enemy is not something you can handle; knowing your own weakness is enough; next time, you should be able to stand on your own. Wu Mie Zhenren reached out, stroking Bai Hang's head, gently saying: "This time, as your master, I seek you to go to Longshe Shan to trade a batch of medicinal pills back."

Having said that, Wu Mie Zhenren gave her a storage bag; Bai Hang Holy Maiden took it, instinctively glanced, inhaled a breath of cold air, and lifted her head in shock: "Master, so many spiritual herbs?"

These are all for trading?

Exchange them all for medicinal pills?

Wu Mie Zhenren nodded: "Not bad; keeping these resources would be wasteful; our faction's pill-refining masters have limited strength, unable to refine too many medicinal pills, we need to trade for a batch from outside; other factions cannot trade with us; that person of Longshe Shan, you are relatively familiar with, go find him to trade, I believe he will be glad to trade medicinal pills with us."

These resources count as our sincerity, letting that person know our Tian Du Men's sincerity; this batch of medicinal pills is for the Sect Master, must be handled carefully, no mistakes allowed.

"Hiss." Bai Hang blinked, staring at Wu Mie Zhenren.

Master, does the Sect Master also need to trade medicinal pills, this much? Qinglong Daoist may not have that many medicinal pills.

Trade as much as you can; the rest, give to him. Wu Mie Zhenren waved his hand, not caring about these resources.
