Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 653: Chapter 319: Stabilizing the Lu Family’s Situation; Black Crow Zhenren’s Death

The East Spring Undying Bone Divine Sense had long since detected another person; a Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator from the Longteng Family far beyond East Pole Immortal City, whose aura was comparable to Longteng Qianyue.

Previously, Wen Jiu couldn’t be certain if this person accompanied Longteng Qianyue, but when Longteng Qianyue transmitted his voice and the person entered the range of the East Spring Undying Bone Divine Sense, it was almost certain that this was Longteng Qianyue’s ally.

”Longteng Qianyue is really cautious, revealing the Dark Curtain Void Dragon is not enough, he also brought an ally of equivalent strength, seemingly intending to use this opportunity to kill off Lu Feng. If Lu Feng hadn’t already moved to the Qi Guang Sect, I would have had to control the East Spring Undying Bone to act to resolve the Lu Family crisis.”

If I take action, the consequences would be different, and the Domain Lord’s Mansion would definitely launch a thorough investigation.

”No wonder this person is gnashing his teeth in hatred.” Wen Jiu chuckled, still not making a move.

Because currently, Longteng Qianyue was very cautious, and the other Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator was also heading towards Longteng Qianyue.

After several hours.

The two met.

It was a Female Cultivator, though at the Mid-stage Golden Core, she maintained the appearance of a woman in her thirties or forties, still charming. Upon her arrival, she complained, ”Fellow Daoist Qianyue, things have reached this point, why did you call me here, that Red Fire Zhenren didn’t chase after us.”

”Better to be cautious.” Longteng Qianyue forced a smile, ”Thanks to Fellow Daoist Yun Meng’s help, alas, if it weren’t for Lu Feng seeking out Red Fire Zhenren, the Qi Family’s territory and the Lu Family’s assets would have been ours.”

”This time the reward should not be short.” The Female Cultivator reminded displeased.

”Naturally.”

Longteng Qianyue quickly agreed.

”Alright, then I’ll be going.” The Female Cultivator turned to leave but was stopped by Longteng Qianyue just as she turned.

Longteng Qianyue hurriedly said, ”Let’s go together, don’t find yourself alone, beware of Red Fire Zhenren suddenly appearing.”

”You’re truly scared stiff by this Red Fire Zhenren, if he wanted to chase you, he would have done so earlier. He is probably busy feasting on the Lu Family right now, no time to bother with us.”

”Better to be cautious.”

”Alright.”

With that.

The two transformed into streaks of escape light, heading in the direction of the Longteng Family.

Wen Jiu quietly watched this scene, and couldn’t help but praise, ”Quite cautious, it’s like seeing myself.”

But they are merely Mid-stage Golden Cores after all.

Caution is in vain.

The disparity in strength is too great.

After the two departed, the East Spring Undying Bone followed.

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Sixty thousand miles away from East Pole Immortal City, Longteng Qianyue and the Female Cultivator still hadn’t separated, during which the Female Cultivator asked to leave twice, but Longteng Qianyue did not allow it. All things considered, he was indeed rather cautious.

And after following for five or six more days, with the Longteng Family territory in sight, Longteng Qianyue finally permitted the Female Cultivator to leave.

”Thanks to Fellow Daoist Yun Meng for escorting me.” Longteng Qianyue raised his hand in salute, seeing the Female Cultivator off.

After the Female Cultivator left, Longteng Qianyue’s smile gradually diminished, ”Although the Qi Guang Sect has accepted mediation, how can they easily let it go? Now that my whereabouts are exposed, if I’m not cautious, I might encounter an attack. Your carelessness will lead to your doom at the hands of the Qi Guang Sect one day.”

With that said, Longteng Qianyue continued towards the Longteng Family. With the Longteng Family in sight, no matter how bold the Qi Guang Sect is, they wouldn’t dare to strike here, and even if they dared, after all it’s only a few thousand miles; even Red Fire Zhenren couldn’t capture him.

Just after flying forward another thousand miles or so, there was an abrupt fluctuation of escape technique from behind him, and simultaneously, an unexpected ghostly aura was instantly detected by him. Longteng Qianyue didn’t think twice before preparing to use his escape technique, but as soon as he intended to activate it, there was an anomaly within his Golden Core, a multitude of invisible Gu insects suddenly surged over his Golden Core, then his meridians and divine sense.

”How can there be a Tier Three Law-Devouring Yin Insect?” Longteng Qianyue was shocked; how could Tier Three Law-Devouring Yin Insects exist in the world? Fortunately, though Law-Devouring Yin Insects are strong, their weaknesses are fatal.

Stored within his Golden Core was Thunder Techniques, capable of easily dealing with the Law-Devouring Yin Insects.

But just as this thought arose, the power of soul capture suddenly descended, and realizing it was a Divine Technique, Longteng Qianyue’s newfound confidence was shattered in an instant, he could only watch as five ghosts appeared, opening their eyes, causing his consciousness to grow increasingly blurred, he wanted to speak, but was powerless to do so.

”Long...”

The Longteng Family was merely eight to nine thousand miles away.

So near, yet so far.

He couldn’t even manage to cry out.

Moments later.

The struggle in Longteng Qianyue’s eyes gradually disappeared, replaced with tranquility and reverence. But instead of asking Longteng Qianyue anything, Wen Jiu completed the soul control and immediately executed the Blood Corpse Escape, leaving.

Simultaneously, Longteng Qianyue left as well, as if nothing had happened. Not long after, a Spirit Beast sliced through the sky, stopping at the location where Longteng Qianyue was controlled, moving at extraordinary speed.

After detecting remnant ghostly aura and divine power, the Spirit Beast transmitted a message, and the Female Cultivator returned not long after.

Several Golden Core cultivators from the Longteng Family gradually arrived, but after a thorough investigation, finding no injuries or abnormality within the Longteng Family, the turbulence subsided.

In the meantime, Wen Jiu was already a thousand miles away, having controlled the East Spring Undying Bone, although he had seen the entire scene through his divine sense.

Very precarious.

If he had been a step slower, he might have been targeted by the Spirit Beast.

He couldn’t tell what the Spirit Beast was, though its strength was just Tier Three Lower Grade, its speed surpassed even a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator.
