Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse-Chapter 165 - 103: Returning to the Sect with a Bountiful Harvest, Troubles from the Bounty
"What hasn’t been found out?"
Eastern Celestial City inquired.
Looking across the Cultivation Realm of Deadman Peak, there aren’t many who can break free from the control of the All-Knowing Tower, but anything that the All-Knowing Tower can’t control is definitely extraordinary.
Ye Chen quickly conveyed the news received from the Sound Transmission Talisman earlier. As he spoke, Eastern Celestial City’s expression became increasingly grave.
"Offering a Left Essence Pill as a bounty for the corpse of a cultivator at the peak of the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation, does he intend to perform Blood Evil Foundation Establishment? Unable to obtain the Yin Sha Blood Curse Body, he’s resorting to gathering a hundred corpses and drinking ten thousand bloods, paying any devilish price for Blood Evil Foundation Establishment. Our Celestial Left Alliance Junior Brother has truly gone mad; does he really desire to destroy Deadman Peak this much?"
What are a hundred corpses?
What are ten thousand bloods?
A hundred corpses equate to the bodies of three hundred cultivators at the peak of the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
And ten thousand bloods are the essence blood of a hundred thousand mortals.
Previously, to cultivate the Yin Sha Blood Curse Body, the Blood Robe Tower people had already assisted in collecting a large amount of mortal essence blood. Now, with Blood Evil Foundation Establishment being needed, the Celestial Left Alliance Leader only lacks a hundred corpses.
If he truly gathers all hundred corpses, and the Blood Evil Foundation Establishment succeeds, even the master might not be his opponent.
Ye Chen responded, "He’s always been mad, otherwise why would the Three Life Gates people fancy him? Now it seems, the Left Essence Pill used as a bounty is definitely supported by the Three Life Gates. With this bounty out, who knows how many Heterodox Demons will target us Deadman Peak in the shadows... Senior Brother, how should we respond?"
Ye Chen had a premonition.
This single bounty from the Celestial Left Alliance might incite chaos comparable to the past Blood Robe Tower upheaval.
Perhaps even more so.
Because the Blood Robe Tower used overt daggers against Deadman Peak, but the Celestial Left Alliance will not. The Heterodox Demons attracted by the bounty will surely only attack from the shadows with hidden strikes or ambushes, certainly not giving them a chance to face off directly.
Deadman Peak is vast.
The side peaks are numerous as well.
If too many Side Peak Masters get assassinated, the mighty Cultivation Realm of Deadman Peak could slip from their grasp.
"Where’s Master?"
Ye Chen quickly asked.
Perhaps only Master’s return to oversee could quell this impending storm.
Eastern Celestial City shook his head, "Master has been unheard of lately, and that junior brother dares offer such a bold bounty, likely meaning something has happened to Master. Though Celestial Left Alliance’s reach can’t extend into the Far West, the Three Life Gates can.
Or maybe he’s confident of success in Foundation Establishment, which is why he dares openly offer bounties with Left Essence Pills to collect hundred corpses."
Ye Chen hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother, what should we do? That guy is a complete madman, willing to become a devil just for Blood Evil Foundation Establishment. If he truly gathers a hundred corpses and succeeds in Foundation Establishment, the Far West won’t have a place for Deadman Peak."
Eastern Celestial City pondered for a few breaths and slowly opened his mouth, "Don’t hurry, you immediately head to the Earth Treasure Department and the Talisman Room, have them produce all Tier One High-grade Protective Talismans, and create an additional batch to give to the Side Peak Masters to guard against assassination.
Moreover, go to find Junior Brother Bai; during this period, you’ll both be fully responsible for Deadman Peak’s affairs. If he dares offer a bounty, then you might as well start killing, wipe out any spot for Heterodox Demons in the Cultivation Realm of Deadman Peak."
As he finished.
A hint of killing intent flashed between Eastern Celestial City’s brows.
But it disappeared in an instant.
"Senior Brother Bai is overly stubborn; he considers Heterodox Dao an eyesore after just one Heterodox Dao rebellion. I don’t want to find him; I can’t communicate with him." Ye Chen looked towards Eastern Celestial City, "Senior Brother, are you going to retreat again?"
"Is Deadman Peak more important, or your preferences?" Eastern Celestial City countered, not giving Ye Chen a chance to answer before speaking again, "I can sense that my cultivation is just a step away from breaking through to Qi Cultivation Perfection. Moreover, with Master’s current unforeseen situation, Deadman Peak desperately needs someone at Qi Cultivation Perfection."
Speaking finished, Eastern Celestial City warned, "Let me warn you first if there’s an emergency, do not destroy my House Protection Array again, although it won’t disturb my cultivation, I can’t keep using Spirit Stones to repair the array myself!"
"Then Junior Brother will be gentle next time."
Ye Chen left a final word and departed immediately.
Not destroy it?
Impossible.
I have no intention of waiting days outside the array.
After leaving.
Ye Chen headed straight to the Earth Treasure Department.
At the same time, he took out the Sound Transmission Talisman, attempting to contact Shan Yue Ru and others in the Ten Thousand Beasts Pool, but received no response.
After multiple unsuccessful attempts, Ye Chen immediately sent a transmission to Wen Jiu, hidden in the shadows on Bright Moon Peak on behalf of the Inspection Hall Vice Hall Master.
"There’s no news from the Ten Thousand Beasts Pool. Immediately head there to check on the situation. An hour later, the Main Peak Elder will arrive, then you can bring your Junior Brother back to the Main Peak."
Finishing his words.
Ye Chen put away the Sound Transmission Talisman.
In his view, Shan Yue Ru and the others likely encountered trouble at the Ten Thousand Beasts Pool, as those he contacted just now were sent as eyes in the shadows.
They won’t directly engage in battle, merely watch from afar and relay information back to him as needed.
However.
No message has been received now.
It’s clear.
The situation at the Ten Thousand Beasts Pool is more dire than imagined.
Additionally, Qi Ming is dead, and the Qi Family cannot yet be slain.
Leaving Wen Jiu, who is in Qi Cultivation Third Layer, there is not only unbeneficial but also makes him a target for the Celestial Left Alliance. After a decade of hard work nurturing a satisfactory disciple, there’s no way he can let him perish.
Most importantly, Wen Jiu is the only one at Deadman Peak with hope of inheriting the Heterodox Dao legacy.
If something happens to Wen Jiu.
The Heterodox Dao legacy at Deadman Peak will break.
If they want to find another prodigy with such Heterodox Talent, even if Deadman Peak’s Side Peak walks its cairns to exhaustion, it would likely be in vain.
