Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses-Chapter 641 - 595: Suppression Onstage_3

Seeing the six people all stunned, the man with the bronze mask said coldly, "Without a warrant, let me ask you, have the ghosts and demons in the district been completely cleared out? Do not forget your duties."

"By rights, I should capture you and punish you.

However, considering this is your first offense, I’ll let you all off the hook this time."

Upon hearing this, the six people’s faces changed.

But they dared not contradict the patrol guest and could only respectfully bow and say, "Thank you, sir, for your leniency."

After speaking, the six of them returned helplessly.

"Why is the patrol guest suddenly so strict? Who hasn’t crossed the district boundaries searching for Heaven and Earth Wonders?"

"Is a big figure coming that prompted him to put on a show?"

"No, look, how could those people enter the tail lodge area?" One person exclaimed.

The crowd looked up and saw five strangely dressed men and women revealing large areas of their skin flying out from the red mist, swaggering past the patrol guest.

Yet, the patrol guest didn’t even glance at them, nor did he stop them as he had before.

"That old man with the tall hat is from the Ji Lodge District; I’ve seen him!" The man said with some resentment.

"How strange, why target us? Do you know the origin of this patrol guest?"

"I heard he is the former Sect Leader of the Two Forms Sect... Two Forms Sect seems to be a subsidiary of the Taiyi Sect."

After speaking, the group fell silent, looked toward a tall and skinny man in the center of the team.

He was almost devoid of flesh, appeared to be about forty or fifty, dressed in a black Daoist robe, accompanied by a tall, silver protector without hair or eyebrows.

The skinny, bamboo-like male cultivator listened, guilt written on his face as he bowed to everyone, "Apologies, I have implicated everyone.

Today, I will leave the team, mountains remain unchanged, rivers flow forever, I wish you all success in finding the Heaven and Earth Wonders that suit you..."

Having spoken, the skinny, bamboo-like man turned without looking back and flew toward the red mist.

"Eh, let’s try again."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang also suffered misfortune; whose sect let them offend the behemoth Taiyi Sect?"

On the other side.

A high-temperature underground space, filled with steaming white fog.

Surrounded by rough, reddish rock walls, with no living creatures or vegetation.

Only boiling red magma-like liquid flowed down the walls, ’sizzling’ as it reached the bottom, culminating in a blackish-red pool.

In the center of the pool, a crystal-clear red bamboo shoot-like plant emerged.

Section by section, approximately three feet long, its surroundings seemed to slightly quiver.

At the tip, a dazzling light shone, shooting a red beam from bottom to top, somewhat akin to a spotlight from Lou Yi’s past life.

"The crimson bamboo shoot is about to mature... Fellow Daoist Bi, we’ll protect you from behind; seize the opportunity.

Remember, after obtaining the wonder, you must neutralize and consume Cold Jade Essence within three breaths, or the wonder will lose its effect!" A protruding rock wall a hundred feet above the pool bore several cultivators, quietly watching below.

An elderly man with a thin appearance, wearing a black soft-footed turban, spoke to a male cultivator beside him.

"Okay!"

The male cultivator, dressed in a black robe, was burly, with a wide face and bright, piercing eyes.

He did not use any flying magical artifact; instead, a breeze stirred around him as he cautiously descended toward the target.

Everything seemed to proceed smoothly.

However, as he approached just three feet from the bamboo shoot-like plant, about to make his move.

Suddenly, a silver light unexpectedly shot into the pool, causing a massive eruption of scalding liquid!

The black-robed male cultivator hurriedly channeled spiritual essence to protect himself, simultaneously forming a tangible gray light shield before him, blocking all splashing liquid.

However, the commotion alerted the terrifying presence within the pool. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

A giant red creature engulfed in flames emerged, its eyes filled with fierce murderous intent, charging at the black-robed cultivator.

"Who is it?"

Above, the elderly man in the black soft-footed turban exclaimed angrily.

Turning, he saw several cultivators with playful expressions flying over.

"Save Fellow Daoist Bi first!" the elder immediately decided.

But the opposing cultivators, using underhand tactics, released a torrent of magic and spiritual artifacts against the elder’s group, hindering the rescue efforts.

"Old man Kuang, why rush? Let’s spar a bit."

"Get lost!" the elder shouted furiously.

A three-tiered jade tower slowly rose above his head, releasing a powerful aura.

Yet, the ambushers, also possessing Third Level of the Spirit Platform experts, clearly had no intention of deciding a winner, solely focusing on obstructing him from saving others.

"Does he have a vendetta with Fellow Daoist Bi?" A thought flashed through the elder’s mind.

Simultaneously, a massive, unseen undercurrent swept toward the Corpse-Driving Sect’s cultivators in each district of the Abyss.

Adding to the already extremely tense and difficult existence they had in the Abyss, now even more of pressure made it hard to breathe.

"Taiyi Sect’s retaliation arrived so quickly."

"They adhere to rules on the surface, but can do as they please beneath it."

"Corpse-Driving Sect made a bad move; complying with compensation would have solved it."

Many cultivators from other sects aware of the situation sympathized with the Corpse-Driving Sect but dared not extend a hand.

"It’s tough, really tough." The Bi-named male cultivator, escaping the monster’s chase with great difficulty, covered in blood and weak, couldn’t help but lament.

Eight years, they had only eight years to seek fortunes, attempting to grasp the elusive Golden Core, now beset by all sorts of maneuvers, increasingly hard.

Could the sect truly survive the catastrophe eight years from now?

At that moment, even the strong-willed Bi-named cultivator felt somewhat lost.
