Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse-Chapter 155 - 99: The Great Elder’s Direct Disciple, Bright Moon Peak’s Peak Master Dies

The words fell.

Shan Yue Ru glanced at Wen Jiu.

She initially thought it was just a rumor, but now it seemed that Wen Jiu truly had nothing but cultivation on his mind.

Having just come out, he was already eager to return to his cultivation.

This made it all the more perplexing; if he loved cultivating at Deadman Peak so much, why not go to the Langhuan Blessed Land?

A thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones are indeed plentiful, but they hardly compare to the opportunities at the Langhuan Blessed Land.

"Why are there so many demons?" Wen Jiu expressed his frustration upon hearing that he couldn't return early.

Shan Yue Ru looked towards the north of Bright Moon Peak, "Because to the north of Bright Moon Peak lies a natural cultivation blessed land known as the Ten Thousand Beast Pool, one of the three main Beast Nurturing Lands at Deadman Peak. The spirit beasts nurtured within are considered top-tier across the entire Three Thousand Miles in the Far West, and there's even a chance they will comprehend Beast Techniques, drawing them here."

"I see, Senior Sister Shan, what's your second plan? Just tell me, I'll follow your lead."

Upon hearing that they still had to deal with the trouble of demon rampage, Wen Jiu immediately lost any desire to continue as a leader.

Shan Yue Ru, hearing this, couldn't help but give Wen Jiu a second glance, "Are you sure you want to listen to me? The more outstanding you perform during this trip, the higher your resources and position will be at Deadman Peak in the future."

She had originally thought Wen Jiu would try to impress tirelessly.

No matter if it was feasible or not.

In the end, causing irreparable damage and letting the master clean up the mess.

Over the years at the Inspection Hall, she had seen plenty of such personal disciples of elders—clearly lacking brains, yet insisting on scheming and plotting, ultimately leading to the sacrifice of main peak disciples, while they desperately distanced themselves.

Wen Jiu quickly nodded, "Senior Sister Shan, I think learning from you is more important than anything else."

At this moment.

Wen Jiu's words were sincere.

His attitude was earnest.

Shan Yue Ru spoke again, "This is your own decision. If Elder Ye is dissatisfied upon our return, don't blame me."

"Of course, of course."

Wen Jiu quickly nodded.

"Let's go down, let's resolve Qi Ming and the Qi Family first," she said, preferring to settle internal issues before external ones.

This way, no one would be stabbing them in the back.

Very soon.

The flying ship descended.

As the ship descended, more and more Mid-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivators landed on the summit of Bright Moon Peak with their Sword Control, respectfully welcoming them, even the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer Side Peak Master was no exception.

Wen Jiu was surprised to see familiar faces; people from Feixian Peak were also present at Bright Moon Peak.

Mu Canglong was among them.

As Wen Jiu descended, Mu Canglong saw him.

He also saw Mu Canglong.

At this moment, there was a vast difference in their statuses.

But Wen Jiu remembered Mu Canglong's favor of passing on techniques, so amidst the crowd, he waved his hand towards him.

Mu Canglong saw this, and though his expression remained neutral, his heart was filled not only with joy but also with a touch of satisfaction.

The Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Technique had not been taught to the wrong person!

And as people made their salutes, members of the Inspection Hall hurriedly approached Wen Jiu and Shan Yue Ru.

Shan Yue Ru lifted her hand and set up a Sound Insulation Magical Barrier.

"Mountain Hall, Inspector Wen... Qi Ming is dead!"

Upon hearing this news.

Shan Yue Ru's expression hardened.

"How did he die?"

The person from Inspection Hall hurriedly replied, "He was attacked by a large number of demons while guarding the Ten Thousand Beast Pool and met his demise. When the other Side Peak Masters arrived, it was too late. Before everyone's eyes, Qi Ming dutifully perished, protecting the Ten Thousand Beast Pool from being trampled by demons!"

"And what can this be considered?" A faint anger passed between Shan Yue Ru's brows, "Knowing himself exposed, he thought to make amends with his life and save the Qi Family? He surely plays a good game of chess!"

With Qi Ming's death, if Wen Jiu still led an assault on the Qi Family, even if the evidence of Qi Ming being a spy was made public, it would be difficult to establish a warning. Instead, it might only drive potential spies to act even more recklessly.

For when making amends couldn't save one's family, it seemed better to walk the path to its end, and strive from the Land of Death to rebirth.

"Damn it, this Qi Ming really played a significant move." The anger in Shan Yue Ru's eyes deepened.

The Side Peak Masters and elders outside the Sound Insulation Array were visibly uneasy.

At that moment, Shan Yue Ru noticed their gaze.

And felt an urge to tear Qi Ming into pieces.

Seeing this, Wen Jiu quickly asked, "Is Qi Ming's body still here?"

"Yes, it's currently laid in the main hall of Bright Moon Peak." The person from the Inspection Hall replied quickly.

Wen Jiu said, "Take me to see it."

To be honest.

He felt something was amiss.

Also found it hard to believe.

Qi Ming led the Qi Family to this point, then suddenly turned out to be a spy for the Celestial Left Alliance; would he sacrifice himself for the Qi Family?

"Understood!"

The person from the Inspection Hall nodded quickly.

Shan Yue Ru and Feng Xuan followed suit.

However.

Despite doubts.

Shan Yue Ru, Feng Xuan, and others immediately recognized the Peak Master of Bright Moon Peak, Qi Ming, whose chest had been hollowed out by demons and body had fallen.

"Moreover, over the past two days, someone continuously inflamed the situation from behind, spreading the news of Qi Ming's sacrifice to protect the Ten Thousand Beast Pool throughout the Deadman Peak Cultivation Realm." The Inspection Hall disciple spoke up again.

Feng Xuan, Shan Yue Ru, and others' faces darkened.

This was indeed a brilliant move.

In this way, even if the Inspection Hall killed the members of the Qi Family ten times, it would probably not effectively serve as a warning to others.

Instead, it might backfire.

"Mountain Hall, what should we do?" Feng Xuan asked urgently, completely at a loss.

While Shan Yue Ru and Feng Xuan were helpless, Wen Jiu was pacing around Qi Ming, scrutinizing his body, and upon scanning with his Divine Sense, found even the soul was extracted, making it impossible to use Three Evil Corpses for Soul Stealing.

Shan Yue Ru also moved closer.

Then she suddenly stomped on Qi Ming's leg, snapping it, seemingly to vent anger.

Abruptly.

A voice came from outside the door.

"Mountain Hall, the Ten Thousand Beast Pool is suddenly under attack, the Demon Slayer Envoy of the main peak's Demon-slaying Department has sent a rescue transmission."

With the words fell.

Shan Yue Ru's murderous intent surged.

She turned and strode out of the hall.

"Leave behind half of the people, others follow me to aid the Ten Thousand Beast Pool immediately." Shan Yue Ru controlled her flying object and headed towards the Ten Thousand Beast Pool.

Three Side Peak Masters swiftly led their people to follow.

Wen Jiu did not move.

Stayed within the hall.

Continuing to meticulously inspect Qi Ming's corpse.

He felt something was off.

Qi Ming's death.

Sudden attack.

Clearly, someone was orchestrating things from behind, and their actions here were under someone's control.

Perhaps it was a spy from the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss causing chaos.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Wen Jiu's Yin Technique detected something when sent into Qi Ming's body.

It was a Gu.

A tiny Gu.

Moreover, it was disguised to appear like flesh.

Even the Divine Sense couldn't detect it.

If not for the Yin Technique entering within, and it getting touched by the Law-Devouring Yin Insect, even the presence of the Main Peak Elder would fail to discover it.

Within the secret techniques of Gu cultivation in Golden Cloud Valley, it was known as a Heart-devouring Gu, a very peculiar type of Gu insect, though similar to the Law-Devouring Yin Insect. The Law-Devouring Yin Insect devours magical power, while the Heart-devouring Gu devours the heart.

In a certain sense, it's more direct than the Law-Devouring Yin Insect, because as long as the Gu Master gives the order, the Heart-devouring Gu can kill its host.

And it's capable of killing across boundaries.

Wen Jiu remembered it because when he previously browsed through the secret techniques of Gu cultivation in Golden Cloud Valley, Heart-devouring Gu was listed among the top ten wicked Gu.

It kills invisibly.

However, nurturing the Gu is quite challenging, requiring various miscellaneous Evil Yin Spiritual Medicines along with human flesh, and must be from newborn infants, the Heart-devouring Gu within Qi Ming had evidently reached a Tier One Middle Level, nurtured possibly from the flesh of multiple newborns.

Suspected to surpass over five hundred!

"I wonder if the memories of that old woman contain any recollection of this person?" Wen Jiu quickly started reviewing the stored memories of the Three Evil Corpses.

A hundred breaths later.

Wen Jiu indeed discovered.

Gu Daoist!

Besides Wen Jiu himself, the other possessor of the Law-Devouring Yin Insect.

The old woman had handed down her nurturing method to the Gu Daoist.

Aside from that.

No second person.

[Apologies.

Took a few days off for the New Year.

Couldn't adjust back quickly.]
