Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 343: Chapter 185: Tracks Exposed, Shen Tu Strikes First

Five years ago, Shen Tu quietly came to Wind and Cloud Immortal City to find him and obtained the sales information for the Tier Two Top-Grade Barrier-Breaking Pill through his hands. As to whether he purchased it, Fang Qian did not know.

But this revealed one piece of information: Shen Tu was not far from the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

In five years, he might have already broken through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, who knows.

Wen Jiu sent a sound transmission to ask, ”Shen Tu didn’t put a Silencing Spell on Fellow Daoist for this kind of information?”

”It’s a coincidence. The Silencing Spell only lasts for five years, and it happened to expire half a month ago, so Fellow Daoist Han’s information is first-hand,” Fang Qian replied through sound transmission, then reminded, ”Fellow Daoist Han, you must deliver the Spirit Stone within a year at the latest. If not, don’t blame me for doing something behind your back.”

Wen Jiu wasn’t concerned about Fang Qian’s last words. He guessed Fang Qian might know some kind of Curse Technique like Ku Yue did, but he wasn’t worried, as even fate techniques couldn’t foresee him, let alone curse techniques?

However, he had no habit of owing others, so Wen Jiu immediately replied through sound transmission, ”I will definitely deliver within a year.”

After confirming the information, Wen Jiu followed the details in the jade slip to a hidden location belonging to the Three Corpses Blood Corpse Sect. According to the Demon Soul’s soul memory, Black Mist Mountain, mentioned in the jade slip, was sixteen thousand miles away from him, near the eastern part of the Divine Fall Mountain Range and not far from the Hundred Floating Domains.

Of course.

Being near the Hundred Floating Domains didn’t mean richer resources or more abundant Spiritual Qi; on the contrary, the eastern part of the Divine Fall Mountain Range was even more barren, with a harsher environment for cultivators.

Therefore, the eastern part of the Divine Fall Mountain Range, ten thousand miles away, was the only place Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks cultivators couldn’t be bothered with, so heterodox evil cultivator forces like the Three Corpses Blood Corpse Sect occupied it.

However, because it was too barren and desolate, Foundation Establishment cultivators all ran away. They either went to Wind and Cloud Immortal City or the Little Demon Realm; there weren’t many who wanted to stay in the east of the Divine Fall Mountain Range.

Those who stayed either had some surviving grounds or simply couldn’t integrate with righteous cultivators. The Three Corpses Blood Corpse Sect had some surviving ground.

So although this was just a hidden location of the Three Corpses Blood Corpse Sect, there were still certain risks.

If it weren’t for the need for a large number of resources to cultivate Three Corpses, Five Ghosts, Law-Devouring Yin Insect, and the upcoming Fake Pill Demon Cultivator Remains, he really wouldn’t want to take this risk.

One and a half days later, Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to the east of the Divine Fall Mountain Range, seeing a barren land filled with yellow sand. When he sent his Divine Sense back, Heihe was still following two or three hundred miles behind.

Very clearly.

The jade slip not only had information but also a tracking method.

After gathering his Divine Sense and refilling his corpse Qi remotely, Wen Jiu continued to control the East Spring Undying Bone, pretending to know nothing, and entered the boundless yellow sand, heading toward the hidden location.

One or two hours later, the East Spring Undying Bone came about three hundred miles from the hidden location without any danger. With the Divine Sense of the East Spring Undying Bone now, he could just detect the location.

Although there was no boundless yellow sand here, it was also extremely barren, with no green in sight for a thousand miles, and the sky always appeared a muddy yellow. The hidden site of the Three Corpses Blood Corpse Sect was under a thousand-foot stone mountain cliff.

There was a Tier Two Middle Grade Concealing Yin Array outside the site, which would likely be undetectable to the Divine Sense of ordinary Mid and Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, but because he had accurate information from Wind and Cloud Immortal City and a Divine Sense surpassing ordinary Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, he easily discovered its existence.

What Wen Jiu didn’t expect was that through the Divine Sense of the East Spring Undying Bone, he sensed two familiar auras.

It was none other than Li Hun and his companion.

Compared to before, Li Hun’s situation seemed even worse. Not only did his severed arm not heal, but his injuries appeared to have worsened. And from afar, it seemed Li Hun and his men were packing up to evacuate, with occasional ordinary merchant beast carts emerging from the stone cave.

In less than half an hour, two or three hundred loaded beast carts gathered outside the stone wall. Meanwhile, the surrounding Yin Array gradually withdrew, revealing seven or eight Tier Two Lower Grade Flying Ships.

”What are they trying to do?” Wen Jiu mused, keeping a close eye on those corpse cultivators of the Three Corpses Blood Corpse Sect.

Not long after, two Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, along with ten Early Stage ones, emerged one after another from the site. Among them were Li Hun and Shen Tu, who closely matched the description in the jade slip.

Once the twelve left the site, they each boarded the eight Flying Ships, escorting upwards of forty beast carts each in different directions. After they left, the hidden site of the Three Corpses Blood Corpse Sect collapsed thunderously, with all traces buried in the dirt and rock.

Wen Jiu overheard their intent from their own mouths, and surprisingly, they were planning to migrate to the edges of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, as if they were preparing to go to war with Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.

”It seems behind this Three Corpses Blood Corpse Sect, there must be the Three-Life Gates, and the Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Technique is probably also related to the Three-Life Gates,” he thought. Without the Three-Life Gates backing them, he didn’t believe the Three Corpses Blood Corpse Sect would dare wage war with Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.

Moreover, the Three Corpses Blood Corpse Sect was already preparing, indirectly indicating that the day the Three-Life Gates would attack wasn’t far off.

”In that case, Shen Tu must die,” Wen Jiu’s Divine Sense immediately locked onto the Flying Ship that Shen Tu was on, cautiously sensing Shen Tu’s aura, which superficially seemed at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

However, the East Spring Undying Bone sensed some unusual aura; naturally, it wasn’t Late Stage Foundation Establishment but a special power, hidden within like a volcano about to erupt.

Wen Jiu had a vague feeling that if Shen Tu leveraged this power, coupled with Tier Two Top-Grade Demonic Qi, he would undoubtedly possess battle strength of the Late Stage Foundation Establishment.

Fortunately, the East Spring Undying Bone was now stronger than it was during the Celestial Extinction Ruins.

Yet.

At that moment, Wen Jiu suddenly sensed a familiar aura—Life Technique.

But it wasn’t directed at him.

...

Simultaneously.

At the bow of the Flying Ship, an eight-foot tall, burly man with a black giant axe on his back surveyed the surroundings almost indiscernibly, seemingly waiting for something. Moments later, his lips curled into a sinister smile.

”Finally, it has come,” he remarked.

As Shen Tu spoke these words, his form abruptly vanished from the Flying Ship. At the same moment, Li Hun and the others suddenly charged out from the seven Flying Ships that had flown a hundred miles away, dashing towards Shen Tu.

Wen Jiu realized this moment when Shen Tu was already heading with great speed in the direction where Heihe was hidden.

Heihe, initially hidden a hundred miles away from Wen Jiu amidst Yellow Earth Slope, turned pale upon witnessing this. Although he harbored some hope, seeing Shen Tu drawing closer, he was terrified.

A thought sprung to mind.

Either there was an informant in Wind and Cloud Immortal City exposing his movements, or a Life Technique Cultivator from the Three-Life Gates had intervened.

”Damn it!”

Heihe had no time to think further, hurriedly extracting a Tier Two High Grade Divine Movement Talisman to increase his speed, transforming into a startled swan and dashing away while crushing a Tier Two High Grade Concealing Yin Talisman.

With both talismans activated, Heihe vanished into the yellow sand, making it impossible even for the Divine Sense of a Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to capture him.

Yet.

Shen Tu paused for only three breaths before dashing towards Heihe’s location again.

It was as if Heihe had a Divine Sense Mark on him.

Seeing this, Heihe, as Shen Tu, transformed into a black startled swan and drew nearer, hastily pulled out a Communication Stone, ”Senior Brother, my movements have been exposed, and Shen Tu has the assistance of a Life Technique Cultivator from the Three-Life Gates!”

After transmitting the message, Heihe channeled all his Magical Power to escape, not daring to be distracted.

Shen Tu excelled in Escape Techniques, and although only at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, his escape speed was far faster than most Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even using a Tier Two High Grade Divine Movement Talisman, his speed only temporarily rose to the Late Stage Foundation Establishment’s level.

Being caught was only a matter of time.

”Heihe, there’s no point in struggling to the death, even if you have more Tier Two High Grade Divine Movement Talismans, you can’t escape,” Shen Tu sneered, ”Didn’t expect it, did you? I’ve been wary of you all along!”

Heihe left Little Demon Realm, Shen Tu had received the message that day, spending a large sum to hire the Life Technique Cultivator from the Three-Life Gates, secretly monitoring all this time, rendering any number of Concealment Talismans useless.

Heihe glanced back at the imposing Shen Tu and once more sent a sound transmission to Daoist Wei, ”Senior Brother, I’ll use the Escape Talisman to reach Wind and Cloud Immortal City with all my might, but I urgently need su...”

However.

The word ”support” hadn’t yet escaped his lips when Heihe shuddered, as Shen Tu had somehow already appeared before him.
