Chapter 1754

In the black night, no one appeared; around the quiet tomb filled with corpse qi, there was only a faint chill.

Do you really want this elder to ask you to come out? After watching the show for so long, it's time you came out.

His voice echoed around, the chill spread out, True Person Feng Shan's patience was limited; he stared around, his gaze gradually turning cold, impatient as he was, he did not want to wait too long, nor did he have the patience to continue waiting.

He stared ahead, fixing his gaze on one direction; after a while, three figures walked out, the Second Corpse Commander clapping as he emerged, his attitude extremely arrogant, showing not the slightest fear or dread of the Undying Corpse Commander, nor any panic or terror.

The Golden Armor Corpse and the Red-Eyed Corpse Commander followed behind him, walking out together, their posture extremely arrogant.

The three stopped, and Second Corpse Commander Feng Luoyue clasped his hands and said, 'Second Corpse Commander Feng Luoyue of the Corpse Refining Sect pays respects to the Supreme Elder, congratulations on your emergence from seclusion.'

'Greetings, Supreme Elder.'

'Greetings, Supreme Elder.'

The Golden Armor Corpse and the Red-Eyed Corpse Commander each clasped their hands in salute; proper respect was still due, and the three all respected the Supreme Elder before them, not daring to be presumptuous or overly arrogant, after all, this was their sect's Supreme Elder, the Corpse Refining Sect's stabilizing divine needle, which could not be offended.

Having offended the Corpse Refining Sect's Sect Master, the White Forehead Corpse King, to offend the Supreme Elder before them would truly make everyone an enemy; the Second Corpse Commander would naturally not do such a foolish thing, nor could he commit such a basic mistake.

True Person Feng Shan coldly swept his gaze over the three and said, 'You three are Corpse Commanders of the Corpse Refining Sect; why have you appeared here? Could it be that you intend to come and hunt this elder?'

The Second Corpse Commander smiled and said, 'Naturally not, Supreme Elder, you overthink it; the disciples have no such thought, they hold you, Elder, in great respect, daring neither to harbor such intent nor to give any offense; this time the disciples have come seeking cooperation with the Supreme Elder.'

'The disciples followed the Undying Junior Brother here, knowing he intended to act against the Supreme Elder; we naturally do not wish to see such happen. All disciples of our Corpse Refining Sect know the Supreme Elder's importance and that he sincerely works for the sect; we cannot let the Undying Junior Brother succeed. Fortunately, the Undying Junior Brother has not succeeded.'

'Supreme Elder, the Undying Junior Brother's words are half true, half false, and cannot be trusted; the Red Earth Junior Brother was killed by him and offered to the Corpse-born Lotus; according to the disciples' speculation, the Undying Junior Brother will surely send you, old sir, to be a sacrifice—you must not be deceived.'

The Golden Armor Corpse added, 'Supreme Elder, everything the Second Senior Brother said is true; to cultivate the Corpse-born Lotus, the Sect Master Senior Brother would sacrifice our entire Corpse Refining Sect without hesitation. The disciple does not wish to see the Corpse Refining Sect destroyed, so he chose to rebel against the Sect Master Senior Brother.'

'Supreme Elder, you won't collude with him, will you?' the Red-Eyed Corpse Commander said slowly. The three had come together, their purpose obvious: if the Supreme Elder is one of us, then talks will be easy, anything can be negotiated.

'If he is an enemy, sorry, who is the Supreme Elder? They don't know him.'

The Supreme Elder had just awakened, his strength at less than one-tenth, his weakest moment—precisely when the Undying Corpse Commander would be frightened enough to kneel and beg for mercy; Second Corpse Commander Feng Luoyue is well aware of this, otherwise he would not dare bring people here to intercept.

True Person Feng Shan came to understand: these three were not protecting themselves, but wanted him to stand with them to jointly target the White Forehead Corpse King.

'Feng Luoyue, kid, are you intending to oppose Bai Zhongsheng?'

'With your cultivation and strength, you are still not enough to threaten that kid Bai Zhongsheng; a thousand years ago, Bai Zhongsheng was already in the Tribulation Realm, and now his power is likely even more terrifying—you three are not in the Tribulation Realm, and even together you may not be his match.'

'Are you sure you want to oppose him?'

Second Corpse Commander Feng Luoyue coldly said, 'Supreme Elder, this is our matter; we too wish to survive, no one wants to betray the sect, no one wants to stand opposed to the Corpse Refining Sect, but we have no choice—Bai Zhongsheng wants to sacrifice us, he wants to kill us; how could we let him have his way?'

'Supreme Elder, how will you choose?'

Their patience is limited: either become allies, or else be enemies.

Toward enemies, Feng Luoyue will certainly not show a pleasant face.

The Golden Armor Corpse and the Red-Eyed Corpse Commander each shifted to the sides, ready to strike at any moment; they all knew the Supreme Elder's danger—once he recovered his cultivation, it would be extremely deadly.

If he is one of us, it doesn't matter; if he is an enemy, sorry, they will strike without hesitation.

'Are you three trying to force this elder?' Supreme Elder True Person Feng Shan laughed; these three were attempting to storm the palace.

Compared to the Undying Corpse Commander, these three are bold to the point of recklessness, daring to act thus, not taking him seriously.

However, True Person Feng Shan appreciated the three, and slowly said, 'Feng Luoyue, you also know about the Corpse-born Lotus, right?'

'Not bad, Supreme Elder; this time we have returned not only to kill Bai Zhongsheng, but also to seize the Corpse-born Lotus, causing his efforts to fall short.'

'We will each take a portion of the Corpse-born Lotus; if the Supreme Elder joins us, we can divide it equally among us.'

'One petal of the Corpse-born Lotus per person is already enough; more would be a disaster. Supreme Elder, will you stand with us, or choose to be our enemy?'

The opportunity is given to you, the choice is given to you—what will you do?

Supreme Elder True Person Feng Shan burst out laughing: 'Hahaha, Feng Luoyue, you are far stronger than that Undying brat; your conditions are very tempting. As you said, Bai Zhongsheng is untrustworthy—perhaps the elder himself is also in their calculations; he naturally wants to use the elder to resist the people of Tian Du Men and the Accumulated Dust Sect, then have the elder and them fight to mutual loss, after which he will reap the battlefield.'

'The old man will not let him have his way; since you have invited the old man, how about the old man joins you in a wild venture this time?'

'Feng Luoyue, and you two brats, speak your plan.'

True Person Feng Shan is no fool; he naturally understands their meaning. Compared to Bai Zhongsheng and the Undying Corpse Commander, True Person Feng Shan is more inclined to believe the Second Corpse Commander and his three, for at least they have reputation, whereas Bai Zhongsheng, to achieve his goal, employs any means.

It was so before, it is so now, his nature is such, and cannot be changed.

'The Supreme Elder has made a correct choice; following us, he will not be disappointed.'

'We guarantee we will not break our promise.'

'We will join forces and kill Bai Zhongsheng.'

Then the Second Corpse Commander began to explain his plan, having the Supreme Elder cooperate; with one more Strong One, the plan needed to be adjusted.
