Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 768: Chapter 368: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

After confirming that Nangong Huan was not using the Clear Hidden Spirit Lamp to monitor this place, Wen Jiu easily freed the East Spring Undying Bone from the suction and slipped into the deep pit. As for the contents of the mountain pavilion scroll, he had no interest in exploring them.

The True Spirit Demon Tree is the priority!

Upon reaching the bottom of the pit, Wen Jiu followed Li Lai’s memories and made his way continuously towards the cave where the True Spirit Demon Tree was located. At the same time, he communicated with the Lord of Celestial Demons, instructing him to keep an eye on the battle situation outside the mountain pavilion scroll.

Of course.

His Divine Sense could also monitor, but it might be detected.

If he’s playing the yellow sparrow, he has to keep a low profile.

The True Demons and Demon Beasts he encountered along the way, Wen Jiu didn’t bother to fight. He merely concealed himself and silently slipped past them.

As for the traps set by the Dark Altar Lineage along the way, Wen Jiu easily bypassed them using Li Lai’s soul memory.

However, Wen Jiu did not immediately control the East Spring Undying Bone to head towards the cave of the True Spirit Demon Tree, because the Corpse Fate Technique divination results showed that the direction Nangong Huan was heading was precisely where they were located.

"Could it be that Nangong Huan also has the ability to refine the True Spirit Demon Tree? No, probably not. If he did, why would Nangong Huan only act today? After all, the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect’s Dark Altar Lineage has been nurturing the True Spirit Demon Tree in the West Mountain Floating Domain for not just a day or two. No matter what Nangong Huan intends to do, let him cause a bit of commotion first, then I’ll make my move."

According to Li Lai’s soul memory, although there were no more cultivators in the cave at this moment who could threaten the East Spring Undying Bone, the True Spirit Demon Tree, which had fused with Lin Yingyun Mountain, still needed to be treated cautiously to avoid any mishaps.

It wasn’t just because of the presence of the Demon Soul.

The Demon Array shrouding the entire Celestial Yin Mountain Range was also a method used by Lin Yingyun Mountain to control that True Spirit Demon Tree.

What other methods that True Spirit Demon Tree could still exhibit, Li Lai didn’t know. The only thing he knew was that the one who had brought the tree along was Anchaosheng.

But Anchaosheng had already been sucked into the mountain pavilion scroll, and he couldn’t possibly break the scroll to forcibly enter and capture Anchaosheng’s soul.

If he could capture the soul, it would be fine, but if any mistakes were made, wouldn’t it waste the excellent opportunity created by Nangong Huan?

To be safe, Wen Jiu decided to let Nangong Huan go and explore first, and make some noise to probe that True Spirit Demon Tree. With Nangong Huan’s methods and arrangements, he would surely be able to uncover the true and false to a reasonable extent.

If Nangong Huan could confront Lin Yingyun Mountain directly, it would be another surprise for him.

...

In the cave.

Nangong Huan’s face, under the concealment of the Clear Hidden Spirit Lamp, flashed a satisfied smile, and his pace quickened accordingly.

The Divine Sense Mark he left in the mountain pavilion scroll could clearly sense the appearance of Anchaosheng and knew clearly that Gu Qinghe and Anchaosheng were sucked into the mountain pavilion scroll and imprisoned.

Though the mountain pavilion scroll was not a Tier Three Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, within it, there were some arrangements, a treasure from a major Nascent Soul school in the West Mountain Floating Domain. A hundred years ago, he obtained it through nine deaths and one life.

Though that treasure could not kill Anchaosheng, it was enough to trap him inside for a year and a half.

Moreover, with Gu Qinghe also being sucked inside, the two couldn’t avoid a life-and-death struggle, which would prolong the time even further.

Thus, he could easily take what he wanted and leave the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

And now the Domain Lord wasn’t in the West Mountain Floating Domain either, so leaving the West Mountain Floating Domain wasn’t a difficult task.

The next moment.

Nangong Huan’s smile disappeared, replaced by indifference and an unwavering determination.

The Communication Stone contacting Gu Qinghe was also crushed in his hand and casually tossed into the cave.

"Gu Si Ming, don’t blame me for not considering old ties. A dead Taoist friend is better than a dead poor Taoist. You and I are pitiful people like Lin Yingyun Mountain. Even though we have entered the Golden Core stage, seemingly high and mighty, without the hope of obtaining the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit, there’s not even a chance for Golden Core Perfection. In the end, we can only struggle and suffer, waiting for death.

The True Spirit Demon Tree, and those True Spirit Demon Tree Seeds, are the last, the only hope I’ve seen after enduring for two to three hundred years. For this rare opportunity, I can only sacrifice everything I have..."

After speaking.

Nangong Huan’s steps forward became firmer, and after a dozen steps, he began to fly out.

He no longer avoided the traps encountered along the way but directly used spells to break them, regardless of the noise it might cause.

However, after flying over a thousand feet, he suddenly paused.

His Divine Sense left in the mountain pavilion scroll could sense that Gu Qinghe and Anchaosheng had already started battling, and their confrontation was fierce. But he could not sense even the slightest aura of the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor.

Upon further probing outside the mountain pavilion scroll, finding no trace of the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor’s aura, Nangong Huan was somewhat surprised, "Even though I didn’t fully exert that thing against the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor, as long as a Golden Core Cultivator is caught by that suction, they would be temporarily incapacitated, unable to use escape techniques, spells, or activate magical artifacts; nor could they use Divine Sense to activate talismans, or employ other means of self-preservation, et cetera.

Whether Late Stage of the Golden Core or Golden Core Perfection, there’s no possibility of escaping. Gu Qinghe couldn’t do it, Anchaosheng couldn’t do it, yet this Lu Family Corpse Ancestor managed to do it.

Though not fighting him with full force is a reason, his escape attests to his complexity. It seems this Lu Family Corpse Ancestor has more hidden within him, not just having an External Golden Core.

Unfortunately, my purpose this time is very clear, otherwise, I would really like to see what kind of great fortune this Lu Family Corpse Ancestor possesses."

Nangong Huan sighed with regret, continuing to fly away.

As for the great fortune likely present on the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor, he forced himself to stop thinking about it.
