Chapter 1745: The Red Earth Corpse General's Doom

Formation, corpse qi, or the surging resentful qi, and the giant hand that came down to cover everything, all exploded in an instant.

Everything turned to smoke and dust in the explosion; everything vanished.

The explosion's shockwave was immense, extending over a thousand meters; Wind and Rain Town was completely reduced to smoke and dust, everything at this moment shattered into smoke and dust—blood pills, resentful qi, the Myriad Corpse Sacrifice Grand Formation—all vanished at the moment the formation exploded; everything returned to nothing.

The Red Earth Corpse General's final move dealt a heavy blow to some who tried to seize their achievements and steal the energy they had sacrificed; it was impossible—even if destroyed, it could not give any to outsiders.

After being robbed once by the Second Corpse General and the Red-Eyed Corpse General, he was already in a foul mood, and then they demanded his blood pill without even a greeting—how could that be possible?

Everyone looked at the ruins before them; everything was gone, and the person who had acted in secret was also severely wounded by this formation's self-detonation. This move was truly formidable; the Red Earth Corpse General and the Golden Armor Corpse were truly decisive—what they could not obtain, they would not allow others to take.

All the sacrificed things would rather be destroyed than left to others, let alone enemies.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these Corpse Refining Sect corpse generals are truly decisive, ruthless and merciless; they would rather self-destruct than give away what they cannot use themselves." Wu Mie Zhenren was startled by this scene, but thanks to her quick reaction, she swiftly retreated with her nearby disciples, thus avoiding harm.

Lingjian Zhenren nodded and said: "Indeed ruthless; this time, the person who acted in secret not only gained no benefit but also got hurt—trying to steal a chicken and ending up losing the rice, hahaha."

Wu Mie Zhenren joined in the laughter: "Hahaha, exactly so; trying to directly seize others' things is not that easy—did you really think those two corpse generals had no temper? Lingjian Zhenren, can you see who made the move?"

Lingjian Zhenren pondered for a moment and said: "Besides the Sect Master of the Corpse Refining Sect, I can't think of anyone else daring enough to do this."

"Could it be the White-Forehead Corpse King? He has the greatest chance—he lurks in the shadows, never showing himself openly; this person actually tried to take even his own people's things. This time, it's disastrous: the Myriad Corpse Sacrifice Grand Formation's self-detonation produced a terrifying attack; even a corpse king would suffer."

"The Golden Armor Corpse likely also guessed who would act, wanting to directly take their spoils—how easy would that be? Better to self-detonate the formation, resulting in mutual loss."

Wu Mie nodded, agreeing with Lingjian Zhenren's guess, and also understood the Golden Armor Corpse's calculation; she could allow the Second Corpse General's group to rob them once, as they came openly with sincerity, not a direct sneak attack to seize.

At the very least, giving him a heads-up would make one feel better; whereas the White-Forehead Corpse King wanted to seize outright, blatantly denying them face, so the two of them naturally would not give him a pleasant expression, nor would they willingly hand everything over.

"This time we'll have it much easier; the White-Forehead Corpse King is surely wounded." Wu Mie Zhenren narrowed her eyes; internal strife in the Corpse Refining Sect is best—then our Tian Du Men can have it much easier and lose fewer people.

She would be pleased to see infighting in the Corpse Refining Sect; ideally the corpse generals and corpse king would clash, for between them there is no affection, only their own interests, driven by private desires.

"Lingjian Zhenren, your Heaven Sword Sect can conveniently join in; we are both sects of Cangzhou, naturally we must purge Cangzhou's traitors—the Corpse Refining Sect has betrayed Cangzhou, and your Heaven Sword Sect cannot stand idly by."

Lingjian Zhenren curled his lip and said: "Alright, Wu Mie Zhenren, stop spouting nonsense; if there's any benefit, why don't you let us do it? Yet you make our Heaven Sword Sect undertake this suicide mission—could it be that afterward the Corpse Refining Sect's territory and resources will all belong to our Heaven Sword Sect? If so, I can agree on behalf of the Heaven Sword Sect—what do you think?"

Nowadays the Corpse Refining Sect is at the end of its rope; the Heaven Sword Sect doesn't mind taking over this place—the cost of destroying the Corpse Refining Sect is not great, while the gains are enormous; the Heaven Sword Sect can agree to this.

"Forget it; the Corpse Refining Sect is wicked beyond measure, too dangerous—better not trouble your Heaven Sword Sect to act." Wu Mie Zhenren waved her hand and refused.

Lingjian Zhenren is too clever; wanting benefits is impossible.

People can be given to them to kill, but resources cannot be given to them.

"Hehehe." Lingjian Zhenren gave her a mocking smile, not wanting to engage her.

Wind and Rain Town is gone; everyone is dead.

Corpse qi dissipated, resentful qi followed suit, and the Corpse Refining Sect's movements ceased.

Inside the Corpse Refining Sect.

The White-Forehead Corpse King's complexion was grim; looking at his hand, the flesh had vanished, leaving only bone. He frowned, corpse qi stirred, flesh began to regrow, and after a while the palm returned to its original state.

"The Golden Armor Corpse and the Red Earth Corpse General are truly decisive; they knew it was me who acted, and directly self-detonated the Myriad Corpse Sacrifice Grand Formation—these two have indeed always been on guard against me."

"Hmph, you sacrificed Wind and Rain Town yet gave this seat not the slightest benefit—you two are truly arrogant."

"The blood pill belongs to this seat; you took it—what of it? You two are both mine."

"The corpse-born lotus needs them; it requires corpse generals to sacrifice themselves. The Red Earth Corpse General and the Golden Armor Corpse must die, and the Second Corpse General and Red-Eyed Corpse General must also be captured and sacrificed—relying solely on the Golden Armor Corpse and Red Earth Corpse General for sacrifice is far from enough."

The White-Forehead Corpse King lowered his head, gazing at the ground beneath him; the vast formation spread out, centered on the Corpse Refining Sect's main hall, with the surrounding palaces and indeed all the towns of the Corpse Refining Sect forming part of the formation—those who die will become part of the formation.

Endless energy was drawn back and entirely given to the corpse-born lotus, so that everyone could be sacrificed together to it.

Otherwise, relying on those people would be far from enough.

"Keep fighting; the more chaos the better—Tian Du Men, Dust Accumulation Sect, and Mangshan Demon Palace—all who die will become offerings."

"Best to pour more people into the formation; those people can all be sacrifices."

The White-Forehead Corpse King sat in the Sect Master's seat, his eyes turning cold.

Elsewhere.

The Golden Armor Corpse and the Red Earth Corpse General returned to their cave dwelling, having obtained the blood pill; after dividing it, they prepared to begin refining the blood pill.

"Red Earth junior brother, Senior Brother is going into seclusion to refine the blood pill; you may do as you please."

"Yes, Senior Brother." The Red Earth Corpse General took the blood pill, thrilled, and naturally would not stop the Golden Armor Corpse from entering seclusion.

The two split the blood pill evenly; the Golden Armor Corpse received his share, neither more nor less.

With this division, the Red Earth Corpse General had no objection; he took the blood pill, turned around, and returned to his cave dwelling.

This sacrifice cost them dearly, and now it is his time to rise; the blood pill, rich in energy, condensed from the blood of a hundred thousand people, contains immense power—exactly what he most desires, and he cannot help but want to swallow the blood pill in his hand in one gulp.

The Red Earth Corpse General immediately returned to his own cave dwelling, preparing to begin refining the blood pill to enhance his strength.
