School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 2176: Chapter 2262: The Fearsome Lord of Corpse Control

He carefully observed; on the surface of the coffin were numerous lively and realistic portraits of people, yet each face looked chilling to the heart.

”The clothing on these people is that of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, but they’re different from those disciples and elders I’ve seen before, could it be...”

Chen Nan had a terrifying suspicion in his heart.

He had a premonition that the images on this coffin might be the sect masters from the past generations of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

”The eight elders want me to break the seal and release their sect master, the Lord of Corpse Control, but they didn’t tell me how to break the seal... There’s no telling what’s inside this coffin, if it’s the sect masters of the Heavenly Corpse Sect throughout the ages, opening it recklessly is practically seeking death.”

Chen Nan knew the coffin was just an outer layer, usually, there’s a casket inside. Though there was only one gigantic coffin, with its size, it could hold not just a few people, but even a dozen could fit in.

Chen Nan sat cross-legged on the ground, continuing to refine the Soul Condensing Pill he had consumed earlier since as long as he didn’t break the seal, the eight elders outside wouldn’t harm his junior sister and the others.

As Chen Nan was refining part of the elixir’s power, a majestic voice sounded in his ear, ”Young one, you’re the one they sent in to help break the seal, aren’t you?”

Chen Nan was startled, ”Who are you?”

”I am the Lord of Corpse Control, trapped here for a thousand years. Since you’re here, quickly release me.”

The voice of the Lord of Corpse Control rang next to Chen Nan, ”As long as you release me, you will become a distinguished guest in the Heavenly Corpse Sect, second only to one but above thousands, plus, I’ll grant you a great gift.”

The tone of the Lord of Corpse Control was enticing.

Chen Nan chuckled and asked, ”What great gift?”

The Lord of Corpse Control was momentarily stunned, not expecting Chen Nan to ask this, he chuckled, ”I can help you refine a Corpse King and teach you the art of corpse control. With a Corpse King in your hands, your power can multiply several times.”

”Corpse King? I’ve long heard Mo Chenzi say that your corpse refining technique is the best in the world, but I’m not interested in heavenly corpses, besides, if I had a corpse with me, my women certainly wouldn’t get intimate with me.”

Chen Nan spoke matter-of-factly, calm and unhurried.

He secretly sneered inside, clearly the Lord of Corpse Control was trying to trick him, he just fabricated the talk of a great gift on the spot, otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed a moment to think when asked.

However, the Lord of Corpse Control reacted swiftly.

”Haha, not interested in heavenly corpses, I can give you women, treasures, or secret manuals. Alright, I’ll teach you the method to open the seal. There are seventy-seven stone coffins around the coffin imprisoning me. I’ll teach you the Nine Transfer Coffin Secret Method, move all those coffins, and the sealing power on this coffin will weaken. By then, you and I can join forces to open this coffin.”

Chen Nan thought silently, no wonder the eight elders didn’t mention the method to break the seal, it turns out the Lord of Corpse Control, this old ghost, can already release his Divine Sense, even communicate, though his Divine Sense probably can’t cover too far, only noticing as he got close.

This also explained why the eight elders initially chose to deceive him into coming in.

”I said I absolutely couldn’t move this coffin, turns out it needs to be done this way,” Chen Nan said with a smile, yet he remained motionless.

”Senior, can I ask you a question? Can you tell me?” Chen Nan asked with a smile, ”How did you get trapped here all those years ago?”

Chen Nan didn’t quite trust Mo Chenzi, so he planned to ask again.

To his surprise, the Lord of Corpse Control’s answer was quite similar to what Mo Chenzi had said.

”Seems like the old thief didn’t lie to me,” Chen Nan thought to himself while continuing to ask, ”Senior, what about the Corpse King and Asura King? I haven’t seen them and would like to witness them.”

There was anger in the Lord of Corpse Control’s voice, ”The Corpse King and Asura King trapped me here back then, and they didn’t end well either. Five hundred years ago, they were severely injured by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Divine Fire that descended on Heavenly Pillar Peak, and now their power is almost depleted, close to being completely annihilated.”

”What, weren’t they sealed? How could they still draw down Heavenly Thunder Divine Fire?” Chen Nan asked curiously.

Logically, sealing should also cover up the aura of both the Corpse King and Asura King.

”Did they forcibly break the seal?” Chen Nan blurted out.

”Heh, you’re quite sharp, indeed, they tried to forcibly break the seal, which drew down the Heavenly Thunder Divine Fire, gravely injuring them. They’re now unable to resist the seal’s erosion on their remaining power, and it won’t be long before they’re completely wiped out.”

Obviously, the Lord of Corpse Control’s hatred for the Corpse King and Asura King was deep-rooted.

After speaking, he began to laugh wildly, emitting a laugh that made one’s heart uneasy.

However, he had only laughed for a moment when his laughter abruptly stopped, ”... Damn it, the Ten Thousand Coffin Seal has a great effect on me, young brother, quickly help me open the seal, this feeling of suppressed power is really uncomfortable.”

”Senior, I heard from Elder Mo that your injuries would automatically heal in the seal?” Chen Nan asked.

At last, the Lord of Corpse Control was provoked to anger, ”Young brother, quickly help me open the seal, what Mo Chenzi said was just that my injuries healed, but over these thousand years, my Divine Power is nearly exhausted!”

So that’s how it is, Chen Nan suddenly found it amusing. If his Divine Power is exhausted, relying solely on physical strength, his capabilities wouldn’t reach a fraction.

Especially for the Heavenly Position strong ones without Divine Power as a guide, they can’t communicate with Heaven and Earth.

Listening to the tone of the Lord of Corpse Control, Chen Nan felt displeased, but upon careful consideration, he thought he shouldn’t offend this old fellow too harshly. He’d first play along, then assess the situation and make plans.

Just as he prepared to move those stone coffins, a weak voice reached his mind, unexpectedly from a woman.

”Don’t believe him, the Lord of Corpse Control is sinister and cruel. If you release him, he will surely make you wish you were dead rather than alive.”

The woman’s voice was hoarse, but it wasn’t hard to discern that her original voice must have been pleasant.

”Who are you?” Chen Nan asked. He sensed the woman’s voice was weak, indicating her Divine Soul must be extremely feeble; transmitting messages was already the extent of her ability and posed no threat to him.

”I was once the Corpse King under the Lord of Corpse Control!” An additional voice entered Chen Nan’s ears, taking him by surprise.

But what shocked him more was the woman’s next statement, ”Even longer ago, the Lord of Corpse Control was my husband!”

”Let me get this straight...” Chen Nan felt a bit scrambled, ”So you’re saying before you were refined into a heavenly corpse, you and the Lord of Corpse Control were married?” Chen Nan was astounded, dammit, this Lord of Corpse Control had quite the peculiar taste; refining his deceased wife into a heavenly corpse.

”That’s indeed the case... thousands of years ago, we both apprenticed under the sect of the Heavenly Corpse Sect. The Lord of Corpse Control was an exceptionally rare genius; his cultivation soon reached the Great Star Position King Realm, but he could never break through to the Heavenly Position King. Later... later... he said I was an obstacle on his path to ultimate strength and turned me into a heavenly corpse while I was still alive...”
