Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2472: Chapter 2472: This Treacherous Guy

”Almost there!”

The voice of the blue skeleton head sounded faintly excited.

Since the corpse sorcery was planted within him, Ye Haochuan gained the ability to move freely within this graveyard.

Even the corpse marionettes seemed to sense the presence of the corpse sorcery; they showed no sign of movement as Ye Haochuan passed by.

By a stroke of luck, Ye Haochuan quickly found the place mentioned by the blue skeleton head without much effort.

This location remained barren, reeking with a foul stench, yet compared to other places, it had a strange aura.

”Right below that mountain peak is a cave, that’s the place I mentioned!” The blue skeleton head reminded him again.

”Hmm?”

Ye Haochuan instinctively scanned with his Perspective Eyes, and sure enough, he found the cave described by the blue skeleton head, but there was someone inside.

”There’s a corpse ghost in there!”

Ye Haochuan’s brow furrowed sharply.

”What should we do? If we don’t get that thing, this action will have no chance of success!” The blue skeleton head worriedly said.

”It doesn’t seem as powerful as Fan Zhi, just kill it then!”

Ye Haochuan’s eyes sharpened, and he said solemnly.

”No!”

The blue skeleton head hurriedly stopped him: ”Throughout the graveyard, all corpse sorcery share a connection. Although you’ve signed a master-servant contract with Fan Zhi, as long as you have corpse sorcery within you, other corpse ghosts can manipulate it to your detriment!”

”There’s such a thing?”

Ye Haochuan’s brows furrowed tighter.

He hadn’t expected that after being implanted with corpse sorcery, there would be such a restriction.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked, ”Are you sure that thing can’t be taken by the corpse ghost?”

”Of course I’m sure! That thing is only useful to me, even if others take it, they won’t gain any benefit, why would they take it?” The blue skeleton head asserted.

”In that case, let’s bet on it!”

”Don’t be impulsive!” The blue skeleton head said nervously.

”Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing!”

With determination on his face, Ye Haochuan slowly walked towards the cave.

As soon as he reached the cave entrance, a raspy voice reached his ears.

”Stop, take another step, and I’ll end your life without showing Fan Zhi any mercy!”

This voice clearly came from the corpse ghost within the cave.

”Elder, I have something important to convey!” Ye Haochuan said respectfully.

”You’re Fan Zhi’s subordinate, how could you have something to tell me?” The corpse ghost was obviously no fool.

”It’s like this, I discovered a supreme treasure within your territory and thought, after all, this is yours, so I came to inform you!” Ye Haochuan said.

”Supreme treasure?”

The corpse ghost was puzzled, snorting lightly, ”You think such clumsy tricks will fool me? I’ve been in this land for a hundred years, knowing every inch, how could there be a supreme treasure unknown to me?”

Damn, proving hard to deceive!

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but slightly deflate inside.

But he didn’t give up, pretending to be delighted, saying, ”Maybe it’s something you know of but disregard. In that case, I’ll notify my master to fetch it, I’m sure he’d be eager to get it.”

Saying this, he made a move to leave.

”Wait!”

Seeing Ye Haochuan so resolute in leaving, a sliver of doubt crept into the corpse ghost’s heart.

However, Ye Haochuan’s words still had too many loopholes, not enough to fully convince him, so he continued asking, ”You only mentioned a supreme treasure, what exactly is this supreme treasure? Also, if it truly is one, why don’t you get it yourself?”

Damn, why are the villains in other novels idiots easily tricked by a few words?

Why must I encounter only the shrewd ones? This is unjust!

Ye Haochuan lamented inwardly.

His eyes quickly darted, searching for a suitable answer, explaining, ”That treasure is called the Ten Thousand Souls Crystal, formed after absorbing countless souls, a powerful boon for the soul. I’ve suspected for a while that this place held such a thing, and after years of investigation, I finally found it!”

”Ten Thousand Souls Crystal?”

The corpse ghost’s tone shifted, visibly more agitated, hastily asking, ”Where?”

Corpse ghosts possess souls too, and their altered bodies make soul growth difficult. Treasures nourishing the corpse sorcery are less critical compared to those enhancing the soul.

”That Ten Thousand Souls Crystal lies ten miles underground from here.”

Ye Haochuan said seriously, ”But as you know, the Ten Thousand Souls Crystal holds fearsome soul energy; without adequate soul strength, approaching it risks being obliterated, otherwise, I’d retrieve it myself!”

Having said this, Ye Haochuan’s lie seemed patched up, at least free of logical errors.

A vigilant person might still harbor doubts, but Ye Haochuan believed this surely stoked the corpse ghost’s curiosity.

Indeed, after a contemplative pause, the corpse ghost coldly snorted, ”You best not be deceiving me, or I’ll ensure you die miserably!”

As he spoke, the cave door suddenly opened, revealing a detestably similar figure like Fan Zhi emerging from within.

This corpse ghost’s power was slightly weaker than Fan Zhi’s, about Void God Peak level.

The corpse ghost shot a contemptuous glance at Ye Haochuan, ”What are you standing there for, lead the way!”

His caution was instinctive; he didn’t fear any plot from Ye Haochuan. As a Void God Peak expert, how could he fear an opponent at Void God Early Stage?

Besides, in his domain, with marionettes everywhere, unless killed swiftly, one would face endless marionette attacks.

Yet, he noticed Ye Haochuan hadn’t moved, instead, he stood watching with a faint smile.

”What?”

The corpse ghost suddenly felt an ominous premonition, instinctively wanting to retreat.

But before he moved, a domain silhouette expanded swiftly from Ye Haochuan’s feet, enveloping him.

”This guy is trouble!”

Even his cautious nature didn’t make him question a Void God Early Stage cultivator daring to attack him.

”Don’t be rash, you have corpse sorcery within you, I...”

The corpse ghost rushed to say.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Haochuan felt the corpse sorcery within his Dantian stir violently.

Damn, this treacherous creature, while seemingly pleading, was already plotting harm!

Ye Haochuan inwardly cursed.

”Taichi Domain, annihilate!”

No time to hesitate, Ye Haochuan launched his attack immediately.

”No...”

The corpse ghost clearly hadn’t anticipated Ye Haochuan’s strength; utterly defenseless, he was reduced to fragments in an instant!

Though the corpse ghost’s life force was formidable, this level left no chance of survival.

Damn, even after killing him, why is that cursed corpse sorcery still unstable?

Feeling the disturbance of corpse sorcery within his Dantian, Ye Haochuan suddenly felt dismayed.
