Chapter 1746: The Doom of the Crimson Earth Corpse Commander (Continued)

Chidi Shijiang returned to his cave abode, preparing to start closed-door cultivation to quickly raise his cultivation, when a visitor arrived outside the entrance.

The visitor had been waiting outside, having arrived early, but only now appeared; Chidi Shijiang knew of his arrival, did not attack or go out, but stood inside the formation looking at the visitor outside.

After obtaining the Blood Pill, this senior brother came to find him, the purpose going without saying.

Chidi junior brother, could you come out for a meeting?

Bu Mie Shijiang stood outside, smiling, inviting Chidi Shijiang to come out and meet.

Chidi Shijiang looked at him, and he also looked at Chidi Shijiang; although the outside could not see inside the cave abode, Chidi Shijiang could see him, and after staring for a moment, Chidi Shijiang refused, saying, "Bu Mie senior brother, go back; I am about to enter closed-door cultivation, we can discuss anything later."

Bu Mie Shijiang unwilling to leave, stood outside, clasped his hands and said, "Chidi junior brother, I have an opportunity to give you, concerning your future; please come out for a moment."

"Bu Mie senior brother, whatever opportunity, we can talk later; I am about to enter closed-door cultivation, please go back." Chidi Shijiang refused again.

He could not possibly go out; that senior brother outside was dangerous, and going out would only give that senior brother an opportunity; he knew Bu Mie Shijiang had set his sights on him, and all along that senior brother had been watching them, clearly with ill intent.

He had not come early, nor late, but chose this moment to seek him out; previously he had also sought him to join forces, but Chidi Shijiang did not trust him, so he did not choose to ally with him.

"Chidi junior brother, could it be that you are unwilling even to see your senior brother?" Bu Mie Shijiang began to play the emotional card.

Chidi Shijiang would not be fooled, nor would he go out; staying inside the cave abode was very safe.

If he went out, he could not guarantee whether Bu Mie Shijiang would attack, so he would certainly not go out.

Bu Mie Shijiang had figured this out; he knew tricking this junior brother into coming out would be difficult, as Chidi Shijiang was already on guard against him, and could not be lured out with just a few words unless he truly gave him sufficient benefit.

Bu Mie Shijiang took a deep breath and sent a mental message: "Chidi junior brother, I have found traces of the Corpsebirth Lotus; junior brother, could you come out to talk?"

Gritting his teeth, Bu Mie Shijiang decided to bring out the Corpsebirth Lotus, this great killer weapon, which is the supreme treasure that no one in the Corpse Refining Sect can refuse; anyone of the Sect who hears of the Corpsebirth Lotus cannot stay calm and cannot say they do not want it.

The Corpsebirth Lotus is extremely important, more important than anything; in the eyes of every member of the Corpse Refining Sect, the Corpsebirth Lotus surpasses all as the supreme treasure.

"What?" Chidi Shijiang exclaimed in shock, his pupils rapidly contracting.

"Bu Mie senior brother, is what you say true? Have you really found traces of the Corpsebirth Lotus? No, senior brother, if you had found the Corpsebirth Lotus, you could not possibly share it with me; you would keep it all for yourself."

Soon, Chidi Shijiang sensed the problem, did not immediately believe his words, but remained wary of him.

How could such good fortune possibly fall to him? This is impossible.

Bu Mie Shijiang explained: "Chidi junior brother, I alone cannot obtain the Corpsebirth Lotus; I need an assistant. You also know that any heavenly treasure has a guardian beast; I need your help, and after success we will split the Corpsebirth Lotus equally."

Chidi Shijiang hesitated; the Corpsebirth Lotus was too important, if...

If missed, wanting to find it again would be unlikely in this lifetime; such a supreme treasure requires years of accumulation to mature, and must endure countless hardships to reach this stage.

"Chidi junior brother, the Corpsebirth Lotus will soon mature; if missed, you will never find another in this lifetime."

"Senior brother, I know you are worried, but time waits for no one; I can take you to the location of the Corpsebirth Lotus, how about that?"

Chidi Shijiang hesitated, for the temptation of the Corpsebirth Lotus was simply too great.

It made him unable to miss it.

After thinking, Chidi Shijiang still chose to go out; he could not refuse the temptation.

Leaving the cave abode, walking out of the formation, Chidi Shijiang did not get too close to Bu Mie Shijiang, still remaining on guard against him.

"Bu Mie senior brother, please lead the way."

Without seeing the Corpsebirth Lotus, he could not possibly believe Bu Mie Shijiang; Bu Mie Shijiang's lips curled as he said, "Chidi junior brother, rest assured, I will not deceive you; the Corpsebirth Lotus is within our Corpse Refining Sect, and I will now take you there."

The two advanced under the cover of night, reaching the core area of the Corpse Refining Sect, then entering another cave heaven.

The Corpsebirth Lotus lay before their eyes.

Chidi Shijiang felt something; he raised his head and gazed at the pitch-black Corpsebirth Lotus before him, its vibrant vitality fascinating, a single glance bewitching him, making him unable to look away.

The Corpsebirth Lotus swayed, countless roots taking hold in the earth, continually sucking in various corpse qi and blood qi; Chidi Shijiang's eyes were filled only with the Corpsebirth Lotus, his pupils flashing with madness and excitement, as if he wanted to seize it immediately.

Bu Mie Shijiang said: "Chidi junior brother, go ahead; the Corpsebirth Lotus is right before you, take it."

That voice, like a demon's sound, continually tempted Chidi Shijiang.

Chidi Shijiang's eyes held only the Corpsebirth Lotus, unable to take in anything else; his body stepped forward step by step, his gaze losing focus.

At this moment, he had no consciousness left; as he approached the Corpsebirth Lotus and reached out to touch it, countless roots pierced his body; Chidi Shijiang did not yet know, felt no pain, his face filled with frenzy.

Bu Mie Shijiang watched this scene, revealed a smile, and exhaled a long breath.

"At last I have tricked you, Chidi junior brother; you have indeed fallen for it."

"The Corpsebirth Lotus is full of tempting power; anyone who sees it for the first time will be drawn to it and then become its sacrifice."

"Chidi junior brother, you are now a turtle in a jar."

Chidi Shijiang's body was lifted up, countless roots passing through his body, devouring the corpse qi within him and all his true qi; at this moment he was like a lamb awaiting slaughter.

Chidi Shijiang's eyes regained clarity, the pain making him suffer, he stared fixedly at Bu Mie Shijiang.

"Bu Mie senior brother, you actually..."

His dantian was shattered, the Corpse Pill also pierced and entwined by the roots, devoured; at this moment he had no strength left to resist.

Bu Mie Shijiang folded his arms, coldly saying: "Chidi junior brother, to trick you, I have schemed for a long, long time; you have indeed fallen for it."

"Do not struggle, obediently become the sacrifice of the Corpsebirth Lotus, Chidi junior brother; you need not thank me, for I let you merge with the Corpsebirth Lotus, which is a boon to you."

"What Blood Pill? That is not what Bu Mie Shijiang wanted; he wants everything of Chidi Shijiang."

"His body, his soul, his corpse qi, and even the Blood Pill and such, are what the Corpsebirth Lotus desires; the Corpsebirth Lotus wishes to mature and needs a sacrifice."

"You... you..." Chidi Shijiang glared at Bu Mie Shijiang, unable to believe that despite his long vigilance, he had still fallen for it.

"No need for that, Chidi junior brother; peacefully offer yourself as a sacrifice."

"Ah—"

A miserable cry echoed within the space.
