Chapter 1739: Resentment Soars to the Sky—Second Corpse General's Transformation?

"What happened over there? Why is the resentment so thick?" Tian Du Dragon King frowned, instinctively looked over, and sensed something.

In the distance, resentment shot up to the sky; he had just left the Mangshan Mountain Range, preparing to return to Tian Du Men, and instinctively wanted to see how the Corpse Refining Sect reacted, and happened to spot the place where resentment soared. The Tian Du Dragon King's brows locked tight, he stared for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed.

"That is a mortal city."

In the next moment, the Tian Du Dragon King's expression turned grim; he realized something, his spiritual sense spread out toward Fengyuan City to feel it. This perception made his eyes turn icy, and even in the darkness he could see the cold light within.

"How dare the Corpse Refining Sect—are they really mad? To actually sacrifice a human city, do they truly intend to utterly betray humanity?"

The Tian Du Dragon King said coldly: "They deserve death; the Corpse Refining Sect truly deserves death, daring to slaughter a human city to obtain flesh and resentment—they are truly insane."

It would take time for him to get there; rushing over, everything would already be too late.

The resentment was too thick; one could see the slaughter there had already begun, it could end at any moment, and going there would be useless.

The Corpse Refining Sect's madness exceeded his expectations; under normal circumstances, no cultivator would do such a thing—slaughtering a mortal city cuts off one's own retreat, leaving no way back, making turning back nearly impossible.

Slaughtering so many mortals will bring heavenly punishment instead of heavenly tribulation when they later face their tribulation—a precedent shows this; the Corpse Refining Sect daring to do this proves they are truly insane, disregarding everything for slaughter and survival, sparing no means.

For a thousand years, no one in Cangzhou has dared to do this; I never expected the Corpse Refining Sect to dare commit such a heinous act—they truly deserve death.

"Corpse Refining Sect, they deserve death, they deserve to be killed."

The Tian Du Dragon King spoke coldly, staring into the distance, and immediately set off toward that place.

Inside the Mangshan Demon Palace.

Diewumeng's heart trembled; she instinctively looked far away and couldn't help but reveal a cold smile.

"Resentment soars to the sky; someone wants to slaughter a city, sacrifice its humans, devour flesh and resentment to grow—only the Corpse Refining Sect would dare do this."

"Lan Tiansheng, do you know who did this?"

Such things, they would never dare to do recklessly; mortals are mortals, cultivators are cultivators, and the demon beasts below at most eat some cultivator humans; they rarely descend the mountain to slaughter humans, but beast killing man and man killing beast are perfectly normal.

In the eyes of these demon beasts, all this is quite normal, but when humans turn on their own kind, it becomes rather interesting.

Diewumeng is not as furious as the Tian Du Dragon King; slaughtering a city is nothing significant.

Lan Tiansheng looked for a moment and said: "That direction is where Fengyuan City lies, one of the largest human cities under the Corpse Refining Sect's jurisdiction, with a population exceeding one hundred thousand; so many slaughtered, what immense resentment would that produce?"

"Someone in the Corpse Refining Sect intends to use this to break through their cultivation—how ruthless. Indeed, humans turning on their own kind are the most ruthless; even we demon beasts would not dare such a thing."

"Diewumeng, in my view, it's likely those Corpse Generals of the Corpse Refining Sect who did this, perhaps sensing danger and taking a risky gamble."

"Corpse Generals?" Diewumeng asked: "Do you know which Corpse General?"

Lan Tiansheng shook his head: "I don't know for now; if you want to find out who it is, I can go to Fengyuan City."

"Go, investigate clearly, and incidentally see which Corpse General dares to do this."

"Good."

Lan Tiansheng set out; he also wanted to see who was so ruthless as to dare slaughter mortals.

A hundred thousand mortals—say kill and they are killed; this is no small number, nor a karmic burden just anyone can bear.

The higher one's cultivation, the finer the details one can perceive, often seeing the crux of matters; he would not dare do this, yet the Corpse Refining Sect does—truly ruthless.

Everything happening in Fengyuan City was soon noticed; resentment shot up to the sky, making it impossible not to see.

Near Fengyuan City, Feng Ling True Person appeared.

He folded his arms, gazing at the distant resentment soaring to the sky, as flames engulfed Fengyuan City.

A formation sealed Fengyuan City; those inside could not leave, those outside could not enter. Inside the formation, resentment soared to the sky and flames filled the heavens.

A bloody, bloody scent drifted about, filling the entire city; nothing could be seen.

The soaring resentment blocked their spiritual sense from reaching it; they could only stand afar and rely on naked eyes. Even so, Feng Ling True Person felt the resentment within Fengyuan City—it was truly terrifying.

"Fengyuan City, gone."

"A human city, just like that, vanished; everyone inside is dead."

"The Second Corpse General and the Red-Eyed Corpse General—are they mad, or are they going all-in?"

"Wasn't the Second Corpse General dead? It seems he hasn't fallen, intending to use this to restore his own cultivation—tsk tsk, I never expected him to act so insanely."

Slaughtering a mortal city is a grave sin; that resentment alone can draw many cultivators, and disciples of the Jichen Sect have flocked to his side. Feng Ling True Person was the first to arrive here, and now he cannot stop what unfolds before him.

That formation sacrificed Fengyuan City; those inside could not be saved, turning one by one into zombies who then fought and tore at each other.

Corpse qi blanketed the ground; that formation was strange, and the blood and resentment it produced all flowed toward its master.

The Second Corpse General and the Red-Eyed Corpse General had their fill; they stood right before their eyes, their cultivation steadily rising.

"Elder, they deserve death."

"Elder, they dare slaughter a mortal city; they deserve to be killed."

"Elder, let's act quickly."

Feng Ling True Person remained unmoved, merely staring ahead; at this point, going over would also be too late.

Everything is already too late; acting now would only fall into a trap.

He pointed at the Second Corpse General and Red-Eyed Corpse General, whose strength had greatly increased; if they charged forward, they would be sending themselves to death.

"Don't rush; we are no match for them, wait for others to arrive."

"But?"

Other disciples wanted to speak, but after seeing the resentment soaring over Fengyuan City, they all fell silent.

Watching helplessly as those humans died, screams, wails, cries of anguish, and desperate sounds kept pouring out.

Everyone could not sit still.

Feng Ling True Person stared at the Second Corpse General and Red-Eyed Corpse General; their expressions shifted, they exchanged a glance, then vanished instantly, leaving only a red light.

The formation over Fengyuan City and the resentment covering the land—they abandoned them.

"Boom—"

A giant hand descended from the heavens, directly shattering the formation; the entire Fengyuan City was exposed, and that hand did not continue pressing down but hovered in midair.

Immediately afterward, a figure appeared in the sky; the Tian Du Dragon King stood in the heavens, gazing at Fengyuan City's grim state—corpses littered the ground, bloody stench rose to the sky; of the over one hundred thousand mortals, only a few remained, and those few were hardly different from the dead.
