Chapter 534: The Underworld Plan

Hearing Tou Gui's inquiry, Lin Feng thought for a moment and then said to them:

"Our next actions will be divided into two parts. You already know the first part: my clone is organizing corpse collectors in the Cangming Jie. The next step is to expand the scale of the corpse collectors and spread them to every region of the Cangming Jie. Only a massive number of corpses can allow my injuries to recover quickly, and only more corpses can allow my martial arts strength to go a step further!"

Lin Feng naturally would not hide anything from his confidants and stated his purpose and plan directly.

"This step does not require you to do much, just provide some assistance to the clone when necessary. After all, the main goal of the corpse collectors in the mortal realm is to collect the corpses of ordinary people."

"However, the second part requires everyone to work together. The entire Cangming Jie will become increasingly chaotic next. The war between the top-tier sects will definitely drag a large number of Guidao Xiushi into it."

"And their corpses are the best military strength and resources for us. So, next, I need you to formulate a plan to collect the corpses and Guiyi of those Guidao Xiushi in a relatively secret way!"

"If any Half-Immortal or Ghost Immortal falls, you should report to me immediately, and then I will decide whether to go and snatch the corpse."

The two plans Lin Feng mentioned were both related to corpses. After all, the fastest and safest way for him to improve his strength was to rely on corpses!

"Rest assured, Master, we will definitely satisfy you!"

After hearing Lin Feng's plan, Shuzhuan Gui bowed to Lin Feng immediately. As for how to act specifically, they naturally still needed to spend time formulating the corresponding plan.

After all, wanting to complete the process of collecting Guidao Xiushi corpses secretly, quickly, and without alerting all parties was actually not a simple matter.

After all, the corpses of Guidao Xiushi, especially those of Half-Immortal and Ghost Immortal levels, were not cabbages. Even if they died outside, there would be people from the sect chasing and investigating.

For Guidao Xiushi, devouring the corpses of fellow practitioners to improve strength was not a rare practice. On the contrary, for them, that was the way to maximize the use of resources.

According to Lin Feng's idea, it was clearly to snatch resources from under the hands of major sects. The risk of this behavior was no less than the risk of them setting fires everywhere now.

"Hmm, I have always been at ease with your work. Remember, don't rush, you can take it slow."

Lin Feng nodded, which was considered an agreement, and then he began to talk about other content with everyone.

"Next, I will mainly focus on healing and controlling the clone. When my injuries recover, I will immediately take action to bury that Fang Xianzun's corpse. All information about that 'Heavenly Venerable' is the top priority next!"

Now that the Ghost Immortals of the Great Black Heaven were dragged into the war, he no longer needed to worry about them. But for that so-called 'Heavenly Venerable', Lin Feng always had a thorn in his heart.

Now he only knew that the "Heavenly Venerable" seemed to be the fundamental reason why those top-tier sects could stand firm in the Cangming Jie. But what kind of existence the so-called "Heavenly Venerable" was, and how terrifying its true strength was, he was still completely in the dark about these key pieces of information.

For an existence of this level, no amount of caution was too much, especially since every bit of information about the other party could make him understand better what to do next.

If Lin Feng had known at the beginning that the so-called "Tianzun Zhenling" possessed terrifying power that could almost wipe him out directly, he might not have forcibly ambushed that Fang Xianzun.

"Master, that so-called 'Heavenly Venerable' might involve the deepest secrets of the Cangming Jie. At that time, when I was changing the lines of fate for Master, I seemed to touch a vast will. That will gave me a feeling full of disorder, chaos, and madness. In just an instant, I almost lost my self-consciousness."

Tou Gui heard Lin Feng mention "Heavenly Venerable" and suddenly spoke to him.

"I know, I will be careful."

Lin Feng looked at Tou Gui and nodded deeply. He didn't ask why Tou Gui only told him now, he just knew that Tou Gui had indeed paid a significant price to save him at that time.

Lin Feng naturally kept Tou Gui's sacrifice in his heart. At the same time, he also understood more clearly that if not necessary, he must never take action rashly without knowing the situation.

Finally, Lin Feng arranged for everyone briefly and ended the meeting.

A few days later, Lin Feng carefully looked through a plan handed to him by Shuzhuan Gui. However, this time he couldn't help but frown after seeing only the first page.

"Build an Underworld?"

"Yes, Master. After discussions with me and other strategists, our best approach right now is to establish an Underworld."

"Combining the skills and abilities we possess, the best way is to walk in the shadows of the Cangming Jie in the name of the Underworld, using the framework of the Underworld to collect the corpses of Guidao Xiushi."

"Even if we are targeted by top-tier sects in the future, we can use the Underworld as a cover to entangle with them. If it really doesn't work, then withdraw all personnel and leave a ruin for them."

"In addition, as far as we know, the Cangming Jie also has legends about the Underworld. However, due to the long passage of time, no one has truly seen the Underworld appear for a long time. On the contrary, it is rumored that Huangquan Youfu has obtained part of the inheritance of the Underworld..."

Listening to Shuzhuan Gui's explanation, Lin Feng gradually understood why they would propose such a plan. To put it bluntly, it was to borrow the name of the long-lost Underworld of the Cangming Jie, using the banner of a tiger's skin to make those who didn't know better afraid to cause trouble easily.

At the same time, collecting corpses, especially the corpses of Guidao Xiushi, was bound to be related to various Guiyi disasters. Borrowing the legendary Underworld to do things would be easier no matter what.

The last point, and also the most critical point, was that the various technologies, Guidao inheritances, and Guiyi powers they currently possessed were enough to support the operation of an Underworld.

"Hmm, since that's the case, then I will take a good look at your plan."

After thinking through these key elements, Lin Feng didn't ask any more questions and turned to look through the plan carefully.

The more carefully he looked, the more Lin Feng felt that Shuzhuan Gui and the group of strategists who reappeared from history were indeed great talents. According to this plan, if they could succeed, they would not only gain huge benefits but also stand firm in the Cangming Jie!

However, the corresponding risk of this plan was also very high. First of all, the appearance of the Underworld would definitely attract the attention of Huangquan Youfu. But now that the other party was fighting with the Great Black Heaven, it was unlikely that they would come to find trouble for them in the short term.

Furthermore, the Underworld is ultimately seizing corpse resources from the hands of various major sects; as time passes, this will inevitably provoke public anger, and by then, it will certainly stand in opposition to all the Guidao Xiushi of the entire Cangming Jie.
