Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 365: Chapter 193: Shelter from Heterodox Zhenren

Upon the return of Heihe, Vice City Lord Lin and Daoist Wei immediately withdrew their attention from the battle, fixing their gaze on the approaching Heihe. Daoist Wei was quite expectant, while a trace of uncertainty flickered in Vice City Lord Lin’s eyes.

At this moment, Heihe’s expression revealed little of his emotions. As his gaze swept past the two, he spoke promptly, ”Senior Brother Wei, Aunt Lin, Master has ordered to cease the challenge immediately, and after Feng Jue recovers from his injuries, take him to Ming Water Mansion to meet Master.”

Upon hearing this, Daoist Wei rejoiced.

Feng Jue was finally spared.

Otherwise, if the fight continued, Feng Jue was very likely to fail, and Gu Qiao certainly wouldn’t let him survive.

Vice City Lord Lin’s expression suddenly froze, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, but this quickly vanished, replaced by a gentle smile.

”It seems we should congratulate Senior Brother on gaining another excellent disciple. This child’s Earth Yang Foundation Establishment, along with numerous opportunities, promises an unlimited future.” Vice City Lord Lin’s change made Heihe pause, but Daoist Wei beside him was unsurprised.

This Aunt Lin was arrogant, insidiously cunning, often achieving her goals by any means, yet she was very respectful towards her Senior Brother. Whether there was genuine respect or not was hard to say.

But at least she maintained a good front.

For decades, never went against him.

Still, he didn’t think this Aunt Lin would desist so easily. Since she couldn’t tolerate Feng Jue before, it’s even more impossible in the future.

”Enough.”

Daoist Wei’s deep voice rang out, spreading like ripples, dispersing the ghostly aura above the Little Demon Realm.

It also made Gu Qiao’s expression tighten, but he did not cease the activation of the Yin Talisman in his hand, instead, speeding up even more.

Feng Jue was already at a dead end, even if the One-Eyed Armless Ghost King was entangled by the Demon Corpse, he was confident that with the Yin Talisman and Magical Artifacts he could heavily injure Feng Jue. If not kill him, then at least destroy his foundation for advancing to Golden Core.

However.

The next moment, Daoist Wei’s icy voice descended like Celestial Thunder, ”Gu Qiao, I advise you not to seek death!”

Gu Qiao felt a chill down his spine, unwillingly stopped his actions, his eyes full of killing intent swept over the retreating Feng Jue, turned and respectfully saluted Daoist Wei, but his eyes were already completely dim.

”Gu Mou dares not.”

Daoist Wei spoke again in anger, his profound aura rising and pressing down on Gu Qiao, ”I see you are quite bold.”

”That’s enough.” Seeing Daoist Wei pressing the matter, Vice City Lord Lin spoke with suppressed anger, ”Can a cultivator’s duel simply be stopped at will? Is Vice City Lord Wei trying to take advantage of this opportunity?”

”Aunt Lin is joking.”

Daoist Wei smiled, retracting his aura, seeing his Aunt Lin unable to hide her anger, he felt extremely gratified.

See.

She’s anxious again.

...

When Daoist Wei spoke, the Chen Li couple breathed a sigh of relief.

The Li Ghost Cultivator and other Heterodox Evil Cultivators who enjoyed watching the chaos secretly sighed, only feeling disappointed. Originally, they wanted to see Feng Jue dead, but unexpectedly it ended like this.

The excitement was absent.

Instead, they witnessed Feng Jue’s rise.

The only Heterodox Golden Core in the Divine Fall Mountain Range, Pei Wuxing, spoke. Who in the Little Demon Realm would dare challenge Feng Jue in the future?

Feeling let down, the Li Ghost Cultivator gradually dispersed.

Seeing this, Wen Jiu smiled contently, commanded the Demon Corpse back to his side, and then stored it in the Corpse Nurturing Coffin. The battle’s outcome was satisfactory, though he didn’t manage to kill Gu Qiao, it resulted in an unexpected outcome.

Pei Wuxing personally stopped the fight, likely out of affection for talent, and would probably take Feng Jue as a disciple.

As for this.

Wen Jiu was not envious.

For Feng Jue ascending is also beneficial to him.

With someone willing to shield him from wind and rain, taking all the open and hidden arrows, why not?

However, earlier, Gu Qiao seemed to have more killing intent when he looked at him.

”That old thing seems to hate me a bit.” Wen Jiu shook his head helplessly, but wasn’t surprised, because without the Demon Corpse’s help, even with many trump cards, Feng Jue would hardly escape death. After all, Gu Qiao, in the end, was no ordinary Late-stage Foundation Establishment Ghost Cultivator.

Looks like in the future, there needs to be an opportunity to get rid of Gu Qiao.

Just in time.

This One-eyed Armless Ghost King is excellent Corpse Nourishing Materials.

But it can’t be rushed, as Gu Qiao is backed by Vice City Lord Lin, killing him now would certainly draw attention.

Luckily, he is badly injured now, his Spirit Body pierced, even if he can maintain Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, it’s purely relying on accumulated Yin Pills; recovery is impossible without half a year to a year.

”Don’t fall into my hands in the future.” After leaving these words, Gu Qiao fled swiftly towards Vice City Lord Lin with unwillingness and resentment.

”Such a small matter couldn’t even be handled well.” Vice City Lord Lin reprimanded Gu Qiao, while fixing his gaze on Feng Jue and Wen Jiu, his eyes were devoid of killing intent, yet extremely cold, resembling a snake’s.

Gu Qiao lowered his head enduringly, not daring to retort, because indeed the fault in this battle lay with him, being Late-stage Foundation Establishment yet failing to deal with both an Early Stage and a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was truly embarrassing.

Were it not for protective items, he might have lost his life.

Vice City Lord Lin cast a dissatisfied glance at Gu Qiao, didn’t continue rebuking, tossed a bottle of Healing Yin Pills, then turned and left.

”Let’s go.”

Gu Qiao hurriedly followed.

Dared not linger.

Daoist Wei slightly bowed, respectfully seeing off Vice City Lord Lin, his mouth always holding a somewhat triumphant yet subtle smile.

Once Vice City Lord Lin and Gu Qiao disappeared completely, Daoist Wei couldn’t help but cast an approving glance at Wen Jiu and Feng Jue.

”Well done.”

After saying that.

Daoist Wei followed suit and departed.

Heihe hurried forward, clasping his fists in congratulation: ”Congratulations to the two fellow Daoists, for getting through this ordeal safely. Although that guy wasn’t slain, you both showcased extraordinary depth and strength, your future in the Immortal Path is limitless.”
