Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 424: Chapter 220: Each Holds Their Trump Card, the Infighting Begins

If they could resolve the issue with Feng Jue, the Earth Yang Foundation Establishment cultivator, as well as the abnormal Corpse Nurturer Li Mu who could slay those of the same realm in an instant, Daoist Wei would lose two of his capable people in the future, making her chances of winning the bet even greater.

”Miss, those two are of no real importance. With thirteen years left in the bet, that Li Mu, with his inferior Spirit Root, has already performed a miracle by reaching this stage. Breaking through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment within thirteen years is absolutely impossible.”

The Ghost Cultivator in the shadows spoke faintly.

Vice City Lord Lin sighed, ”But Senior Brother secretly rewarded Daoist Wei with several Tier Two Top Grade Spirit-Storage Yin Pills.”

”But I’ve repeatedly investigated, and Li Mu is known for his love of quiet cultivation, avoiding conflicts, and even having little desire. For such a person, Daoist Wei is absolutely unlikely to reward him with Spirit-Storage Yin Pills.” The Ghost Cultivator in the shadows spoke again, reminding, ”And even if there are Spirit-Storage Yin Pills, so what? With the help of that person, who in the entire Divine Fall Mountain Range could challenge Miss’s might among the late-stage Foundation Establishment?”

”That’s true, so why should I worry?” These words also brought a hint of pride to Vice City Lord Lin’s face.

The Ghost Cultivator in the shadows chuckled along, then began to speak but stopped halfway, ”Miss, what you should worry most about is external interference. Will Master Pei or the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks...”

”The Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks are eager for us to fight internally; the more Heterodox Cultivators die, the better, so they will naturally not intervene. Besides, the Wusheng Three Life Gates army is already outside the Three Extremes, so how could they manage to care about us?”

Vice City Lord Lin spoke with certainty but fell silent when thinking of Pei Wuxing, only speaking again after a moment.

”If he directly intervenes in favor of Daoist Wei and breaks his word, we’ll withdraw from Wind and Cloud Immortal City. But Senior Brother is a smart man; it’s unlikely he would break his promise for some insignificant Late-stage Foundation Establishment Wanderers or Honored Guest Elders.”

The Ghost Cultivator in the shadows slowly nodded, saying nothing more, gradually disappearing into the shadows in the corner.

After he left, Vice City Lord Lin calmly gazed over Wind and Cloud Immortal City, eyes filled with confidence in winning this bet. This time, he would seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Daoist Wei.

Even if he couldn’t kill Beauty Ji and all of them, taking down two or three would give her an absolute advantage. With the advantage, she could proceed step by step to win the bet.

...

Two days later.

Within the Little Demon Realm.

Daoist Wei sat alone atop the Hidden Pavilion, calmly playing with a lively, black paperman in his hands. Seven Communication Stones, each marked, lay before him.

Soon, the Communication Stone marked with the character Ji began to react, ”Vice City Lord Wei, the flying ship fleet is about to enter the Barbaric Zone in the far south of the Divine Fall Mountain Range. Fellow Daoist Lv and four others are ready to act at any time.”

”How many late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators are on the flying ship?” Daoist Wei asked.

Beauty Ji responded, ”I’ve spied on the fleet with a paperman under the moonlight; including Gu Qiao, there are five, among them a Sword Cultivator under Vice City Lord Lin who is a match for me.”

”Apart from them, are you sure there’s no one else?” Daoist Wei frowned, skeptical of appearances.

He had his trump card.

How could Aunt Lin not have hers?

The clash between the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators under both sides concerns the situation for the next ten years and the outcome of this bet. The late-stage Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator Qu Tianhao, who was as strong as Beauty Ji, could not be Aunt Lin’s trump card.

”The master set a rule that external forces can’t be involved in this bet, and everything must rely on ourselves, so we can rule out people from Qi Guang Sect and the Wusheng Three Life Gates. Besides them, who else is there?”

Daoist Wei fell into thought.

Beauty Ji also responded via the Communication Stone at that moment, ”No sign of a sixth person, nor is anyone trailing within a thousand miles of the fleet.”

With this answer, Daoist Wei did not reply. After pondering for a while, he suddenly picked up the last Communication Stone, sending a message, ”Do not act until the sixth person appears; I suspect she hired Loose Cultivator backup from the Celestial Demon Sea.”

After speaking.

A gleam flashed in Daoist Wei’s eyes.

Aunt Lin.

You have your trump card.

So do I.

Let’s see whose trump card is stronger!

Immediately, Daoist Wei picked up another Communication Stone on the table and communicated with Feng Jue, ”Junior Brother Feng, you need to act quickly; the flying ship has entered the southern Barbaric Zone, and I’m ready to give the order to act at any time.”

Ten breaths later, Feng Jue responded, ”Rest assured, Senior Brother; once the fight starts, I’ll provide support immediately.”

Upon hearing this, Daoist Wei smiled with satisfaction.

With Feng Jue present, the battle was six against five. He couldn’t believe Aunt Lin’s trump card could remain concealed.

He was very curious what made Aunt Lin so bold that she would dare to ignore him and trade directly with the Wusheng Three Life Gates.

...

Within Lengxi Mountain.

Feng Jue put down the Communication Stone, looking at East Spring Undying Bone standing calmly beside him, and immediately sent a message to East Spring Undying Bone.

”Brother Han, can we set off now?”

Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to send a message, ”Let’s go.”

After the message, Wen Jiu used East Spring Undying Bone to perform a Blood Corpse Escape, leaving Lengxi Mountain, and then executed several Blood Corpse Escapes in succession to leave the Little Demon Realm. After sending Feng Jue a hundred miles out of the Little Demon Realm, Wen Jiu had East Spring Undying Bone concealed itself in the dense forest, leaving Feng Jue to act alone.

Feng Jue was puzzled, but he did not ask more questions.

In fact, Wen Jiu had been using life arts for divination and had already figured out how many late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were in the flying ship fleet.
