Primordial Cultivator-Chapter 52: Cleaning Up (2)

Chapter 52: Cleaning Up (2)

Elder Jing walked to Old Jiang’s corpse and smiled creepily at Yang Wei. Yang Wei was frightened by her smile and swallowed some of his saliva nervously.

“W-What are we going to do with Old Jiang’s corpse?” Yang Wei asked, seemingly in deep thought about Elder Jing’s current expression.

Elder Jing smirked and said, “Did you forget the original plan of this Old Jiang before you killed him?”

“He was trying to kill every witness in this scene and proceed to-” When Yang Wei was about to speak the last word, he paused and his eyes widened in surprise.

Elder Jing smiles briefly at Yang Wei who quickly figures out what she planned on doing with this corpse.

Old Jiang was preparing to disguise himself into another person after killing everyone here and fake his death to avoid a death warranty from both sects.

However, his plan was foiled when Yang Wei sneaked up on him and finished him off with the help of Xiao Wei without giving him a chance to retaliate or run away.

Thus, Elder Jing’s plan is to follow his thought process and make everyone else who came to this battlefield come up with the fact that Old Jiang was the main culprit and that he is on the run.

The only flaw is, Old Jiang is dead already so the people chasing after him will never be able to find him at all unless they go to the underworld as well.

Elder Jing flicked her hand and a flame started burning Old Jiang’s corpse completely and before the ashes could start to scatter, Elder Jing made sure to store them all into her spatial ring.

Her actions confused Yang Wei as he doesn’t know what’s the use of storing dead corpse ashes, especially one who has committed such an atrocity to people.

“Yang Wei, your knowledge in the cultivation world is still insignificant. Although I can tell you everything, you wouldn’t be able to understand the concept if there’s no practical way of showing you.” Elder Jing said and continued.

“A cultivator of dead ashes, especially when they have reached the Nascent Soul realm can be used in a lot of different ways such as alchemy, creating weapons, and even has the prowess of causing a massive explosion by combusting these ashes in a high temperature.”

Yang Wei was dumbfounded by such ability of a cultivator even when they turned into ashes. ‘C-Cultivators are truly heaven-defying that no logic ever makes sense around them.’

Yang Wei knew the ashes were valuable but then he decided to look at the rest of the corpses. ‘Why didn’t Elder Jing collect their ashes as well if they are truly useful and powerful?’

Almost like knowing his thinking, Elder Jing shook her head when Yang Wei was unable to comprehend things once again.

“As I’ve said, only ashes in the Nascent Soul realm are valuable while any ashes below that realm are considered trash or useless.” Elder Jing said.

Thinking it wasn’t enough to have Yang Wei understand, Elder Jing continued her explanation.

“That’s because their cultivation base is insignificant to have their ashes kept intact with their true qi purity. Thus, it’ll be useless to even collect them and Elder Lang’s corpse must stay intact. After all, we’re faking and pinning this down on Elder Jiang.”

Yang Wei nodded his head and was amazed by Elder Jing’s sharp and calculative thinking.

At the same time, he felt dreadful whenever he recalled her ruthless and merciless expression. The murderous aura emitting from her was so scary that he wanted to never witness it again in his eye.

Elder Jing was about to say something before she suddenly sensed something from afar.

With a solemn expression, she stared at Yang Wei before ordering him. “Yang Wei, time to leave this battlefield quickly. I sense more than 3 sects approaching this area in a swift motion. Most likely the impact of this fight has attracted their attention and they’ve finally caught up now.”

Afterward, Elder Jing leaped forward and ran away in the opposite direction of the other people.

Yang Wei didn’t dare to delay his movement either as he followed closely behind without turning back.

Shortly after, about 5 sects arrived on the battlefield and the Elders from their respective sect started using their spiritual sense to detect the area while the disciples stood there with horror on their faces.

The battlefield may have been cleaned up by Elder Jing but it was only to fool and disguise the enemy into thinking Elder Jiang was the culprit who massacred his sect and another sect for benefits.

Therefore, the bloody organ being splattered everywhere with some dead disciples still having their eyes wide open in a pool of blood scared these disciples.f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Although they have killed people before, it was never on this grand scale where each step is filled with blood.

The Elders didn’t care about the expression of their disciples as they continued to try and use their spiritual sense to detect the enemy. Alas, they all came to a conclusion that the culprit has long fled the scene before they arrived here.

“These people are from the Azure Sword Sect and Burning Sword Sect.”

“Mhmm, over there is Elder Lang’s corpse and Elder Jiang is nowhere to be found. I’m pretty sure we could all guess the culprit without even needing to brainstorm.”

One Elder calmly spoke of the current situation and the other Elders all nodded their heads in understanding.

The feud between Elder Lang and Elder Jiang was no secret for everyone else as it was obvious that Elder Jiang is jealous of Elder Lang.

“Seems like this is all a ploy from Elder Jiang to kill his rival and scurry all the loot from others. I’m afraid he has already gone into hiding with disguises and once the mystery realm reopens again for us to leave, there’ll be no chance of catching him.”

As one Elder concluded this, the rest all turned to look at each other briefly before laughing aloud.

They were happy that there are two idiots sect that’s willing to fight each other to death before the opening of the pagoda, which is the reason why everyone came to this mysterious realm.

One less person is one less competitor and this wasn’t even their sect so the Elders quickly laughed and scattered away. They might be friendly for now but they could be enemies the next second so no one was willing to stay next to each other.
