Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Sudden Change, Life-Death Realm Powerhouses Arrive with a Coffin

Seeing that the Xuan Bird Ancestor had returned to the carriage, Mu Qing knew that the Ancestor was preparing to let her handle the matters here once again.

Mu Qing glanced at the few old men in front of her and asked indifferently, ”How many days will it take for your three sects to build the Covert Dragon Coffin?”

”If the three sects exert all their efforts, it can be done in ten days,” the Supreme Elder of Xuanyang Sect said with a smile.

”Indeed, ten days is enough! We have already recorded the shape of the Covert Dragon Coffin from the Coffin Carrier’s Null Void Projections; it’s not difficult to build such a coffin,” the Supreme Elder of Zhengyi Jianmen also said with a smile.

”Alright!” Mu Qing nodded.

After being dealt with by the Xuan Bird Ancestor, the Supreme Elders from these three major powers had become quite docile. Even their manner of speaking was remarkably polite.

A Life and Death Realm powerhouse in the Heavenly Moon Dynasty could truly act with impunity.

The Xuan Bird Ancestor was in the Eternal Realm. Suppressing these Supreme Elders was extremely easy for him.

However, Mu Qing had also noticed something earlier. When the Xuan Bird Ancestor entered the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird a few days ago, his cultivation base seemed to become vague and unclear. It was as if it were cloaked in chaotic mist, making it difficult to comprehend. If she were to guess by experience, the feeling that the Xuan Bird Ancestor gave people was more like a Life and Death Realm Grand Cultivator.

Mu Qing glanced at them and said in a low voice, ”Alright, just build the Covert Dragon Coffin in Xuanyang Sect. We will wait here for a few days.”

”For Sect Leader Mu to stay in Xuanyang Sect is indeed our Xuanyang Sect’s greatest honor. I will arrange the best guest rooms for you,” Lord Zhou said, his face lighting up with joy as he laughed politely.

The current situation was compelling. The Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird was unassailable, and the other sects could only try their best to maintain a good relationship.

”In that case, thank you for your hospitality,” Mu Qing smiled slightly.

Though the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird was now invincible, the Four Great Sects of the Heavenly Moon Dynasty had maintained decent private relations over tens of thousands of years. There was no need to completely fall out with each other.

The construction of the Covert Dragon Coffin still required the effort of the three major sects.

Therefore, it was still necessary to keep up appearances and maintain a good relationship.

After discussing with the several Sect Masters for a while longer, Mu Qing was led by Lord Zhou to a guest room in the backyard to rest.

The Big Black Horse, pulling the carriage, followed them.

「Time flies.」

Six days passed in a flash.

The Coffin Carrier’s Null Void Projections had traversed nearly half the Heavenly Moon Dynasty.

Then, they vanished without a trace.

The three major sects began to mobilize vast amounts of manpower and resources to construct the Covert Dragon Coffin.

The Covert Dragon Coffin they built was identical in design to the one described in the projections, but its size was different; it only needed to be the size of a normal coffin.

All forces familiar with the Coffin Carrier legends knew this well.

On the tenth day.

Through the combined efforts of the three major powers, the Covert Dragon Coffin was finally completed.

This black Covert Dragon Coffin was placed on the summit of Xuanyang Sect’s highest peak.

The coffin lid was open and had not been closed.

Only when the chosen individual entered the Covert Dragon Coffin and the lid was closed would the Coffin Carrier be summoned.

Beneath the coffin stood the Sect Masters of the Four Great Sects and three Supreme Elders. A short distance away, a black carriage was parked.

The three major sects seemed to have grown accustomed to this mysterious black carriage.

In any case, they couldn’t guess the identity of the carriage’s owner.

Over the past few days, while the three major powers were constructing the Covert Dragon Coffin, they had also discussed matters in private.

They suspected that the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird was being controlled by an even more powerful force from behind the scenes.

It might be a Super Sect.

Perhaps a Super Sect was attempting to use the Coffin Carrier’s current action. They might place one of their own Supreme Elders, who was on the verge of death, into the Covert Dragon Coffin. Then, the Coffin Carrier would bury it in the Dragon Cave, allowing the elder to attempt to live a second life.

Although this speculation seemed reasonable, the three major forces dared not inquire about it.

Even if there really was a superpower interfering secretly, this was a taboo that should absolutely not be openly discussed.

At this time, it depended on whether the Coffin Carrier could discover the tricks involved.

If discovered, they might refuse to carry the coffin, causing all the efforts of this superpower to be in vain.

This possibility merely existed.

According to the cultivation levels of the Four Great Sects of the Heavenly Moon Dynasty, no one could cross the Life and Death Realm.

So, the Coffin Carrier’s requirement should also be a Destiny Realm cultivator who was about to die.

If the superpower behind the scenes wanted to arrange for a Life and Death Realm powerhouse to enter the Covert Dragon Coffin, it might be rejected by the Coffin Carrier...

Historically, such incidents were not uncommon.

However, it didn’t rule out the possibility that this Super Sect might arrange for a Destiny Realm cultivator to enter the Covert Dragon Coffin.

As for who would be chosen, that was beyond the control of their three major sects.

In any case, the Covert Dragon Coffin had already been made. As for what followed, they could only wait and see.

「...」

The Big Black Cat had a mournful face, squeezing out a few tears as he looked reluctant to part. ”Cat baby, seniors, the coffin has been prepared for me. I must go in now; I really can’t bear to leave you!”

The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon snorted coldly, looking very upset. ”Little black boy, stop being so dramatic! You’re just going to lie in a coffin for a bit. What’s there to be scared of? I wanted this chance, and Master still wouldn’t give it to me!”

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon added, ”Yes, don’t be so ungrateful! You got such an interesting task; I’ve been in a foul mood these past few days!” He then raised his palm and slapped the Big Black Cat.

However, he was fairly gentle and did not use much strength.

Even so, it still made the Big Black Cat see stars, and he swayed unsteadily.

”Okay, Little Black Cat, you can go now,” Ye Yun’s voice came from the carriage.

The Big Black Cat transformed into a young man in a black robe. He bowed respectfully towards the carriage and said with conviction, ”Master, rest assured, I will definitely complete the task perfectly.”

After saying this, he jumped off the carriage and walked towards the black Covert Dragon Coffin opposite him.

Due to the restrictive formation Ye Yun had placed around the carriage, the Sect Masters and Elders of the other three major sects did not perceive anything unusual.

For them, there was just a sudden blur before their eyes, and then a young man in a black robe flew down from the carriage.

This black-robed youth also possessed a very high cultivation base, having reached the Peak of the Tenth Level of Destiny Realm. He was also a Half-Step Life and Death Realm powerhouse.

Everyone had this illusion—naturally, this was Ye Yun’s doing.

The Big Black Cat had just taken a few steps.

Suddenly, fluctuations came from the void above. RUMBLE! A small vortex appeared.

A dazzling white pillar of light descended from the sky, landing on the mountain peak.

The light dissipated, revealing several figures.

The leading figure was a middle-aged man with a square face and a resolute expression. He wore a green robe and carried a sword on his back. His Super Divine Dragon Breath was overwhelming, and his Sword Intent surged like a great river.

His cultivation base had reached Level Three of Life and Death.

Behind the middle-aged man stood four more people.

The cultivation bases of these four people had all reached the Life and Death Realm. They carried a Vermilion Coffin and slowly walked towards the Covert Dragon Coffin.

”What power is this? Even their coffin bearers are Life and Death Realm Grand Cultivators!”

Seeing these figures, the Supreme Elders of the three major sects were all terrified, their hearts pounding.
