Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse-Chapter 147 - 96: Hidden God Technique Achieves Small Success, Major Advancement in Both Qi Cultivation and Body Refining

In the next moment.

The Main Peak Elder's expression suddenly changed.

Though he was at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, his strength was far inferior to Ye Chen's. Once the two sparred, it was destined that he would only be beaten.

"Elder Ye, I did not mean to target Wen Jiu. I was merely considering the interests of the sect, after all, there are only a few who possess the Array Order."

The Main Peak Elder hurriedly began to explain.

Ye Chen remained unfazed, coldly saying, "I understand, but today I simply wish to use the Sparring Order among fellow disciples."

"You…"

The person quickly cast a glance towards Eastern Celestial City.

Trying to seek help.

"Enough,"

At his moment of panic, Eastern Celestial City intercepted.

The Sparring Order among fellow disciples was created by his master upon becoming Peak Master to encourage sparring among fellow disciples.

One each year.

And it must be used.

Higher realms cannot challenge lower realms, but if lower realms choose higher realms, the latter cannot refuse.

The goal is to give elders, who focus solely on hard cultivation, a rough understanding of their strength.

After all, sect cultivators enjoy good resources and a peaceful cultivation environment, making it easy to cultivate alone for years. If fellow disciples continued to be overly polite, it would only make them lose themselves in arduous cultivation.

Originally, if Ye Chen wanted to use it, neither as a senior brother nor as the Great Elder could I stop him.

But now important matters are at hand.

"Thank you, Great Elder," the Main Peak Elder immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Chen responded indignantly, "Senior brother, this old fool is even suspicious of my Qi Cultivation Third Layer disciple, clearly targeting us deliberately. Anyone with a brain knows no outside enemy could send a heterodox demon like Wen Jiu into our sect as a spy, but this old fool just seems brainless!"

As he continued, Ye Chen's voice grew louder and more furious, his aura becoming increasingly fierce.

Eastern Celestial City quickly soothed, "Junior brother, do not get angry… Since we are fellow disciples, there is no need to harm harmony. The Sparring Order among fellow disciples should be set aside. Let him and his disciples also check in front of the Truth Mirror, would that be alright?"

"Is this some kind of exchange?"

Ye Chen was displeased.

Eastern Celestial City continued, "Junior brother, you must acknowledge your own strength. Your Thousand-Pound Tyrant Axe's current destructive power is comparable to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer. With a casual strike, you might injure someone at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer. Now, with both internal and external troubles in Deadman Peak, how can the Peak's situation be stabilized if the elders are injured again?"

"You old fool, you really got lucky!" Ye Chen glared at the Main Peak Elder, making the other's mouth twitch.

Eastern Celestial City inquired, "Elder Chen, what do you think?"

The Main Peak Elder gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Silently nodded.

Eastern Celestial City further said, "Since Elder Chen took the lead to self-check, I believe others won't avoid it either."

As the words settled.

Eastern Celestial City coldly swept his eyes over the other Main Peak Elders.

The few exchanged glances.

And also could only nod along.

"Naturally."

"Since Elder Chen is willing to lead the self-check, we should naturally follow suit."

Seeing this scene, Wen Jiu couldn't help but laugh to himself.

Goodness.

Turns out they were playing a double act!

He even suspected whether all of this had been pre-arranged, and he had been a bait from the start.

Indeed.

They were all seasoned veterans.

But for being the bait once, Wen Jiu did not mind, since anyway there was no substantial loss, and he also proved his innocence. In this way, who in the future at Deadman Peak would recklessly suspect him as a spy?

"Junior brother, let's go."

Li Mu stepped forward and led Wen Jiu out.

Leaving the Inspection Hall, Li Mu also gave a helpless smile, using Divine Sense Communication said, "I never expected master and the Great Elder would use you to put on such a grand play. Consequently, every Main Peak Elder and their disciples were naturally examined before the Truth Mirror, and no one would be displeased by it."

"Senior brother, could it be that the Great Elder and master both suspect there's a spy among the Main Peak Elders?" Wen Jiu also used Divine Sense Communication to follow up.

Li Mu replied, "Naturally. After all, the Heterodox Chaos involved too many people, and there are actually quite a few normal Qi Refining Cultivators. The Heterodox Dao is overt, while normal Qi Refining Cultivators are covert.

Master had his suspicions for years, but thorough investigation was almost impossible. Using the Truth Mirror to thoroughly check would undoubtedly provoke dissatisfaction and potentially create a rift with Deadman Peak, so the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss incident was a perfect reason for a thorough investigation.

Yet, it seems master and the others thought the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss incident alone was insufficient, so they used you as a catalyst to stage this performance. Now in hindsight, perhaps those elders were arranged by the Great Elder. After all, Junior Martial Uncle Bai, who dislikes heterodox cultivators the most, is not in the sect. Who would dare openly doubt you, a close disciple of Elder Ye?"

Hearing Li Mu's words, Wen Jiu could only clap his hands.

Marvelous!

They were all actors of the highest order!

Li Mu added via Divine Sense Communication, "Rest assured, junior brother, since the Great Elder and others used you as a catalyst, there would surely be compensation… If not, I will join you in another act to demand it from the Great Elder."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Wen Jiu immediately thought of the time Senior Brother Li Mu took him to see Xiang Wenlong, and couldn't help but smile.

However, Li Mu's next words gradually wiped away Wen Jiu's smile.

"Junior brother, now that you are the thirty-first Inspector of the Inspection Hall, there are some words it's time for you to hear. Whether it's the Blood Robe Tower Chaotic Uprising, the Heterodox Chaos, the frequent emergence of spies in the side peaks, or this time's Ten Thousand Demon Abyss turmoil, there may be connections… Because these things all occurred in the past decade or so, not too far apart, so after today, there will likely be more troubles."
