Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 596: Chapter 295: Cooperation with the He Family

To be safe, Wen Jiu simultaneously controlled the Formless Demon Corpse and the Blood Demon Undying Bone to leave the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. However, the places these two corpses went were not East Pole Immortal City, but thirty thousand miles west of it.

That place is called Sanhe Mountain.

Named after the once-mighty Heterodox Yin Talisman sect, the Sanhe Sect, which withdrew its forces from Sanhe Mountain a thousand years ago for unknown reasons. Currently, Sanhe Mountain has become the ancestral land of the He Family.

In the two to three hundred years after the forces left Sanhe Mountain, there was constant strife. Over seven hundred years ago, the He Family rose from the disputes of Sanhe Mountain, with the rise of the first Golden Core Cultivator, the He Family Ancestor He Changyi. After centuries of management, the family established its territory at East Pole Immortal City, one of the ten great immortal cities in the West Mountain Floating Domain, becoming a renowned Golden Core major influence.

Unfortunately, ever since Wen Jiu framed and implicated them, the He Family has been losing several Golden Cores, and with the death of Patriarch Qi Qiantian of the rival Qi Family, the Lu Family currently stands dominant. Though the Lu Family hasn’t done anything openly, they have started to secretly retaliate against former enemies like the He Family. The He Family Ancestor could only move the family territory back to their ancestral land to avoid centuries of hard work going to waste.

As for those few He Family Golden Core Cultivators, the He Family openly declared that they were assassinated by Demon Cultivators from the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect. This was indeed the truth. But why the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect eventually spared the He Family and He Changyi, Wen Jiu couldn’t quite understand. Had they discovered the truth halfway through their attack?

These were the questions before the two corpses set out. Now, Wen Jiu had the answer, due to divination on He Changyi using the Corpse Fate Technique. Analyzing various life fate veins confirmed that the truth of him framing the He Family had not surfaced, and it was also confirmed that it was a demon cultivator from the Dark Altar Lineage who killed the He Family members.

What surprised Wen Jiu, however, was that the one who spared the Dark Altar Lineage was them. Out of curiosity, Wen Jiu conducted more detailed divination on fate, threading through and unraveling the mysteries, finally obtaining an answer from the life fate veins of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect demon cultivator who killed the He Family Golden Core—it was actually the Branch Master of the Dark Altar Lineage who decided to spare the He Family.

In the life fate veins and information, one could clearly see the Branch Master’s reasoning: considering the He Family’s meritorious deeds, the merits and demerits offset, thus they weren’t exterminated. And considering the He Family’s years of hard work, they weren’t pursued and are still allowed to work for the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect.

To be honest, Wen Jiu found this reasoning somewhat preposterous. If they truly cared about these things, they wouldn’t have killed the He Family Golden Cores in the first place. Were they not afraid of He Changyi’s rage, turning against them completely?

The fact that the Branch Master of the Dark Altar Lineage acted this way made Wen Jiu think there must be a hidden story. Or perhaps, the Branch Master was absolutely confident that He Changyi would pose no further problem, and would work for them wholeheartedly.

For example, like the Five Ghosts Soul Control method, as a Demon Sect, the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect shouldn’t have fewer techniques than the Heterodox Dao.

Sure enough.

Through more detailed divination using the Corpse Fate Technique, Wen Jiu discovered information that He Changyi was deeply entangled with a Middle Stage Demon Core cultivator from the Dark Altar Lineage, completely like one person. After divination with the Corpse Fate Technique, Wen Jiu obtained an unsurprising answer—He Changyi is no longer himself.

He was controlled by a Demonic Evil Technique known as the Demon Sound God Control Technique. In Jue Xing’s soul memories, related memories could be found, and the Demon Sound God belonged to the Dark Altar Lineage’s unique Demonic Evil Technique.

If there are any rebellious thoughts or actions, the one under the spell will undergo a Divine Soul transformation, rapidly turning into a soulless, mindless half-demon.

Like a wild beast.

Devoid of human thought, and will act against their closest ones under the control of the demonic sound within them.

Possibly even slaughter their family, exterminating their clan.

”Truly vicious.” Wen Jiu exclaimed, but he wasn’t surprised, as after all, the opposing party was a demon cultivator, lacking humanity.

However, this situation presented him with an opportunity, as with the Demon Sound God’s effect, the Dark Altar Lineage had completely trusted He Changyi, thus increasing his hope of purchasing Demonic Evil Qi through them.

Because they believed in He Changyi.

...

Two days later.

The two corpses arrived at Sanhe Mountain.

Sanhe Mountain sounds like a single mountain, but it’s actually a range of continuous mountains, with many large and small existences within. As the strongest force in Sanhe Mountain, the He Family naturally occupied the most central position of Sanhe Mountain, a place called Moon Wither City.

When Wen Jiu controlled the two corpses to cross the cold, damp mountains and arrive outside Moon Wither City, even without using Divine Sense, he could feel the rich blood aura inside and outside Moon Wither City. There were human blood, beast blood, and demon blood.

And it was a blood aura that couldn’t even be suppressed by an Array, among which there was black death aura fully manifested, swirling over Moon Wither City like cooking smoke, blocking out the sky and the sun.

The Cultivators entering and exiting Moon Wither City rarely spoke, and if they did talk, they spoke in lowered voices, their eyes constantly wary of their surroundings, as if they feared something. Their steps entering the city were slow and cautious, while exiting the city seemed like a gallop, as if there was something extremely terrifying in the city.

As the two corpses concealed their auras and cultivation and walked inside, the murmurs of Low-tier Cultivators exiting the city caught Wen Jiu’s attention.

”Life was already hard, and now the entire He Family has moved back to Sanhe Mountain, making life even harder. Having to hand over ten pounds of blood a day, even if raising hundreds of two-legged sheep as Blood Slaves isn’t enough.”
