Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse-Chapter 78 - 71: Lifeless Ghost Cultivation, Bloodborn Fiend
"Activate the array!"
Mu Canglong immediately spoke.
The stewards beside him, upon receiving the order, immediately summoned several array discs, and after retreating three steps, activated the discs.
Once the array discs were activated, the area where the Night Patrol Department disciples were located was instantly enveloped by a light screen. The overwhelming Black Heart Gu swarmed onto the screen like a flood, but fortunately, unlike the previous poisonous smoke, no matter how fierce the Black Heart Gu were, they were still blocked outside by the array.
Only then did the disciples of the Night Patrol Department breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, although the Black Heart Gu could be blocked with protective talismans and spells, if they were bitten, where would they find the Shrinking Yang Gu?
There wasn’t even a single Gu Master on the entire Feixian Peak!
However, blocking does not mean safety. Although the Night Patrol Department was prepared, the capacity of the array has its limits.
Evidently, Mu Canglong also knew this, so after a brief defense, he summoned a curved blade magical artifact and then sent it flying. The curved blade quickly transformed into more than a dozen small curved blades that spun wildly around Mu Canglong, shredding all the incoming Black Heart Gu within a zhang’s distance, leaving none unscathed.
But this wasn’t the end. Mu Canglong leaped once more, and unexpectedly, the flying blades split again and again, transforming into pointed awls that charged into the Black Heart Gu and flew towards the dense forest in the distance.
Wherever they passed, the Black Heart Gu perished without exception.
This scene greatly astonished Wen Jiu. A single Black Heart Gu wasn’t particularly strong, but when thousands gathered and attacked together, their lethality far exceeded that of ordinary Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer spell attacks.
Si Kongbai’s face was visibly pale, lingering fear evident, and he dared not leave the Tier One Middle Grade Defense Array.
Yet Mu Canglong not only broke through but did so with an invincible stance, intending to attack the Gu Master in the forest.
Although he couldn’t penetrate deeply, his strength gave Wen Jiu a clearer understanding of Mu Canglong.
No wonder he’s the top steward of the Night Patrol Department!
On the other side, the Demon-slaying Department had also activated their array simultaneously, but unlike the Night Patrol Department, they engaged a Tier One Middle Grade Attack Array, with one sword light after another cutting through from the array.
With a single sword strike, a swath of Black Heart Gu was cleaved.
Steward Li Qing also emulated Mu Canglong, fiercely charging into the Black Heart Gu. Although he too couldn’t reach the forest to capture the mastermind, he still managed to break up the Black Heart Gu in large swathes, causing significant casualties.
As for the Demon-slaying Department disciples and other members of the Night Patrol Department, since the array shielded them from the poisonous smoke earlier, they could concentrate their spells to their fullest.
For a moment, this fearsome Black Heart Gu, let alone flying over to Feixian Peak, couldn’t even approach the disciples of the Night Patrol Department and Feixian Peak. Wen Jiu also realized why the eyes of the two department disciples on him turned so differently after he had absorbed the poisonous smoke.
Seeing the situation stabilize, Wen Jiu clad himself in yin techniques and quietly absorbed the remaining poisonous smoke behind everyone.
From now on, he just wanted to be an onlooker.
He understood that the Celestial Left Alliance’s attack was most likely just a probe, scaring the grass to see which snakes would move. Of course, it’s not ruling out diversion tactics, but the possibility was slim.
The body of Three Thousand Blood Inks is on the mountain. If it were diversion tactics, they’d attack other side peaks instead of causing trouble at the foot of the mountain.
Soon.
Wen Jiu heard the commotion of battle from other directions on Feixian Peak, accompanied by flames blazing in the night sky.
It was evident.
Fighting had erupted all around the base of Feixian Peak.
However, there still wasn’t any indication that a powerhouse at the level of a Side Peak Master had joined; it was all simple probing attacks.
And at that moment, the probing began intensifying. After the Gu Masters, ghost cultivators joined the frontline battlefields of the Night Patrol Department and Demon-slaying Department, and the Three Evil Corpses sensed several formidable presences in the nearby forest.
Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer ghost cultivators!
They casually threw out seven or eight fierce Ghosts and Evil Spirits at best, and beside the leader stood a Red-haired Ghost whose presence actually surpassed theirs, almost reaching Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.
...
In the forest.
The old woman was displeased with the appearance of so many ghost cultivators.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, what are you doing here?"
"You didn’t volunteer before, and now want to seize the first merit from me?"
The middle-aged man with a cold face beside the Red-haired Ghost spoke discontentedly, "Fellow Daoist Yu, don’t think I’m like you. Your two assaults were ineffective, Elder Mu couldn’t wait any longer. Otherwise, do you think I’d want to come here and help you, this inconsequential old poison?"
"If it’s found out after returning that it wasn’t Elder Mu’s order, you’d better prepare a burial site for your entire family!"
The old woman was extremely displeased.
Her well-deserved first merit was thus divided. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
She really wanted to bite a few people out of fury!
Thinking of this, the old woman glanced at Wen Jiu behind the Demon-slaying Department people and silently noted it.
In her view, if not for Wen Jiu absorbing that poisonous smoke, neither the Demon-slaying Department nor the Night Patrol Department would have held out for long.
Once poisoned, the people of the Demon-slaying Department and Night Patrol Department would have greatly diminished strength when facing the Black Heart Gu, surely unable to withstand them.
If not for him, Elder Mu wouldn’t have anxious at the rear, sending Yu Yan and those not quite human nor ghostly beings forward.
"Boy, don’t let me catch you. If I do... I’ll definitely turn you into a Living Blood Gu, letting you enjoy the pain of skin ulceration and Gu insects burrowing into your heart and devouring your flesh."
Her words fell.
The half a zhang of ulcerated, Gu-infested face of the old woman twitched slightly.
