Chapter 1751

Inside the Corpse Refining Sect.

White Forehead Corpse King's face was grim; he watched as disciples of Tian Du Men and the Accumulated Dust Sect kept retreating outside, the battle had halted—no, rather, the foundations of the sacrificial grand formation had been dismantled, many of them torn down, and the instant those foundations were destroyed, the White Forehead Corpse King already sensed it.

These foundations were all painstakingly made by him, hidden for so many years, yet they were still discovered. He had thought this battle would go unnoticed, allowing him to secretly and continuously sacrifice everyone, letting the people of Tian Du Men and the Accumulated Dust Sect help him complete the slaughter, thereby saving him a lot of time and effort.

The main point is, if he did it himself, it would provoke rebellion within the Corpse Refining Sect, throwing the entire sect into turmoil; but if Tian Du Men and the Accumulated Dust Sect took action, he could remain hidden behind the scenes, continually stirring up the disciples' enthusiasm, having them jointly fight the enemy instead of uniting against him.

This is the best reason, and also why he has remained unseen all along; a few words of encouragement can make the Corpse Refining Sect's disciples risk their lives to hunt down enemies, thereby producing more slaughter and more sacrifices, without worrying about the sect's disciples betraying him or turning against him—the plan has been executed very well.

Everything was proceeding exactly as he had planned, but who would have thought the opposing side would suddenly discover his layout and begin dismantling the foundations? That isn't the most important part; what's truly terrifying is that the secret of the foundations has been discovered by those high-ranking members of the Corpse Refining Sect, and several Corpse Generals have surely found out about all this.

The disciples below, a bit sharper, have all noticed the specific problem; this battle has begun to change its nature.

"Sect Master Senior Brother, the foundations have been discovered; our plan is exposed. The disciples below will soon all find out our plan, and then they won't obediently go to their deaths—they'll turn against us instead."

"The Second Corpse General and the Golden Armor Corpse General have already begun to join forces; they're likely going to deal with us, and Junior Brother fears they'll discover the secret of the Corpse-Producing Lotus."

The Undying Corpse General worries endlessly; he isn't afraid of the other disciples finding out, nor of them rebelling, for those disciples lack the ability and cannot rebel.

At most, these disciples will simply not exert effort; if they try to flee, it's unlikely, and sooner or later they will die, for the people of Tian Du Men and the Accumulated Dust Sect won't let them off. The Undying Corpse General can persuade or intimidate those disciples: to stay alive, they must fight desperately—this is their only way to survive.

As long as they kill enough enemies to complete the sacrifice, they can escape calamity; with more disciples from Tian Du Men and the Accumulated Dust Sect joining in, they can avoid one death. But if the sacrifices are insufficient, sorry, all the disciples will become sacrifices—that is what the Undying Corpse General says.

Believe that once those disciples know, they will surely go mad and hunt down the disciples of Tian Du Men and the Accumulated Dust Sect, even killing the demon beasts of the Mangshan Demon Palace.

This battle has reached a point of life and death; it's either you die or I perish—there is simply no third option.

"Hmph, what does it matter if they know? The secret of the Corpse-Producing Lotus is too important; even if those three know, they won't leak it. As long as the disciples below don't know, that's enough."

White Forehead Corpse King Bai Zhongsheng said disdainfully, "Undying Junior Brother, go steady those disciples and have them kill people; if they don't kill, then we can only sacrifice their lives. At this point, we cannot stop."

"The Corpse-Producing Lotus cannot lose its sacrifices; taking advantage of the fact that Tian Du Men and the Accumulated Dust Sect still don't know, we must speed up. Otherwise, once the Tian Du Dragon King and the others discover the existence of the Corpse-Producing Lotus, we won't be able to preserve it."

"Undying Junior Brother, for the sake of the Corpse-Producing Lotus and our future, you must hold firm; if you truly can't, you can go to the Supreme Elder—he's not dead yet, he's still in seclusion, and when the Corpse Refining Sect faces life or death, it's also time for him to act."

Hearing this, the Undying Corpse General felt his scalp tingle: "Senior Brother, do you really intend to...?"

"No way, the Supreme Elder is the Corpse Refining Sect's stabilizing divine needle; once he awakens, he will surely know your plan, and then neither of us will have a good outcome."

The Corpse Refining Sect's Supreme Elder is indeed the sect's stabilizing divine needle; every time the sect encounters danger, it is he who steps in to resolve it.

The Supreme Elder's authority within the sect is unmatched by anyone else; if he discovers their secret and instead supports the Second Corpse General and them, wouldn't the two of them be doomed?

Moreover, they even intend to sacrifice the sect's founding ancestor; once they are discovered, their fate will be miserable.

"Undying Junior Brother, at this point there's no room for regret; if you don't speak and I don't speak, no one will know."

"Besides, Tian Du Men and the Accumulated Dust Sect are pressing closer step by step; if we don't act now, we'll be in trouble."

"So, my dear Junior Brother, for our sake, for our plan, for our future, you must do this."

The White Forehead Corpse King patted the Undying Corpse General on the shoulder and said earnestly.

This matter concerns their life and death; for their future, the Supreme Elder must also step aside.

"But..." the Undying Corpse General hesitated; he didn't want to do this, nor did he dare.

"Undying Junior Brother, you have no retreat—go awaken the Supreme Elder, have him kill people; those traitors of the Second Corpse General also deserve to be purged." The White Forehead Corpse King said coldly; what he wanted was not only for the enemies to die, but also for those who betrayed him to die.

Of course, the Supreme Elder would make an excellent sacrifice; let them fight until both lose, and then we can reap the benefits as the fisherman.

All of this is for the Corpse Refining Sect, for their future; the Supreme Elder is also near death, and before he dies, exerting his utmost effort can be considered repaying the sect and its support.

"Senior Brother, how can you do this? That's the Supreme Elder—if he finds out, both of us will be killed." The Undying Corpse General is still afraid; he doesn't fear or care about others, but the Supreme Elder truly frightens him.

Because this Supreme Elder has a bad temper and is also very clever; ordinary talk won't fool him.

It might not take long before the Supreme Elder discovers their plan; by then, the Undying Corpse General will be the first to be killed.

The Undying Corpse General can naturally see this; he doesn't want to die, nor does he want to become a sinner.

"Undying Junior Brother, remember this—you have no retreat, go ahead." The White Forehead Corpse King warned: "What you're doing has no turning back; I, as your senior brother, think highly of you—don't let me down."

"Yes, Senior Brother."
