NOVEL NEXT Chapter 77 - 77 The Third Corpse Hiding Place
77 The Third Corpse Hiding Place
The Demon Subduing Division.
Lin Wudao was seated at the head of the hall.
His expression was indifferent, and there were no emotions on his cold face.
“Governor, I heard that the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel has an extraordinary background with a powerful force backing it. Now that we’ve beheaded Qi Yuniang and the others, if they seek revenge, then…”
!!
Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan were worried.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao looked at them nonchalantly.
“There’s no need to fret about this matter. Oh right, I’ve found out who is the mastermind behind your hanging on the city tower. It was Gongsun Mang from the Gongsun family.”
What? It was actually him?
Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan were shocked to hear this news. They didn’t expect the Gongsun family to be like a robber who was trying to play cop.
Behind their backs, he hung them on the city tower and humiliated them, but on the surface, he sent someone over to visit with spiritual medicine and healing items, posing as a good person.
Thinking about it now, it was simply disgusting.
If Lin Wudao had not exposed the true colors of the Gongsun family, they would have been kept in the dark for the rest of their lives.
“That bastard. If there’s a chance, I’ll definitely take my revenge,” Zhao Mang growled through gritted teeth.
His expression was ferocious.
At this point, his hatred for Gongsun Mang had reached the extreme.
Han Qingshan, who was beside him, felt the same.
Lin Wudao’s lips curled into a mysterious smile when he saw their indignant expressions.
“Do you want to take revenge?”
Huh? Really?
Zhao Mang was overjoyed.
“Young master, you… Do you have a way?”
Han Qingshan also revealed a look of anticipation.
To this, Lin Wudao nodded.
With a flip of his hand, he produced a mysterious jade talisman and handed it to Zhao Mang.
“This is an invisibility jade talisman. Its greatest effect is that once you crush it, you can hide in the void. Even Myth realm powerhouses won’t be able to detect you. Gongsun Mang’s wedding will be in three days. Guests will gather, and he’ll definitely be the center of attention. You should treat him the same way he treated you,” Lin Wudao said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan’s spirits were lifted.
They finally understood what Lin Wudao meant.
“Hehe, Governor, this is a wonderful method! If Gongsun Mang was stripped naked in public on the day of his wedding, I wonder what kind of expression he would have.”
Zhao Mang’s face was filled with viciousness.
At this point, he was already fantasizing about Gongsun Mang’s ugly state.
Even Han Qingshan clenched his fists tightly with an excited expression.
They would give the party a taste of his own medicine!
With this invisibility jade talisman, they could finally take their revenge.
“Many thanks, Governor.”
“Thank you, young master.”
The two knelt and kowtowed excitedly.
“Hmm. You may leave now.”
With a wave of Lin Wudao’s hand, the two bowed and left.
Whoosh!
After they left, Lin Wudao put Qi Yuniang’s body into the heaven burial bronze coffin.
[Ding!]
[You have collected Qi yuniang’s corpse and received 1000000 high-grade spiritual stones. After the system’s tenfold enhancement, you have received 10000000 high-grade spiritual stones.]
Spiritual stones?
Lin Wudao was surprised.
“As expected of the Tower Master of Heavenly Fragrance Brothel, she’s indeed rich. According to the exchange rate of spiritual stones in the cultivation world, 10 million high-grade spiritual stones are equivalent to 1000 supreme-grade spiritual stones. It’s not a lot…”
He shook his head.
To the big forces with a strong background, 1000 supreme-grade spiritual stones were nothing.
But to Lin Wudao, this sum of spiritual stones was the biggest gain he had ever gained since he collected corpses.
“I have to continue working hard…” Lin Wudao felt helpless when he thought about the City of Heavens where everything cost hundreds of millions of supreme-grade divine stones, divine crystals, and even divine sources.
That level of wealth was not something he could achieve at the moment.
Hu!
After taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Lin Wudao threw the bodies of the black-robed elder and the others into the Corpse-refining Furnace.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
With the sound of wind and thunder, traces of pure spiritual energy were extracted and integrated into Lin Wudao’s body under the guidance of some force.
A moment later, the refinement of the corpses was done, and Lin Wudao felt that his cultivation had increased by quite a bit.
“This Corpse-refining Furnace is indeed magical,” Lin Wudao praised.
Then, he opened his system panel.
[Name: Lin Wudao]
[Identity: Deputy Governor of the Demon Subduing Division in Yuan State]
[Cultivation: Perfection of the Divine Transformation realm]
[Talent: God’s Spiritual Eyes]
[Cultivation Techniques: Emperor’s Scripture of the Primordial Imperial Race, Disaster-Avoiding Ancient Scripture (mortal scroll)]
[Skills: Brutal Dragon Palm (perfection), Heaven-stabilizing Spell (major accomplishment), Spirit-capturing Technique (major accomplishment), So Close Yet So Far (major accomplishment)]
[Items: Origin Stone, heaven burial bronze coffin, corpse hiding map, Grand Nirvana Sword Talisman, Great Desolation Cauldron, God-summoning Paper, Heaven Evasion Cloak, Mask of Heavens, Deva Fortune Pill, …]
[Lifespan: 19736]
[Fate Energy value: 534000]
…
Rows of information were presented before his eyes.
After reading it, Lin Wudao fell silent.
“System, with my current Fate Energy value, which level can I cultivate the mortal scroll of the Disaster-Avoiding Ancient Scripture to?” He asked.
[Level 2.]
[To finish level 1, you will need 100000 Fate Energy value. To advance to level 2, you will need 200000 Fate Energy value. Level 3 requires 300000 Fate Energy value…]
Huh? So much?
Lin Wudao was slightly shocked.
“The Disaster-Avoiding Ancient Scripture has to be cultivated to level 3 before the Disaster-Avoiding Golden Body can be formed to effectively resist the evil of the world. My current Fate Energy value is not enough. In the end, I still have to continue collecting the corpses,” He sighed.
Then, he took out the corpse map.
Since he had nothing to do now, he might as well collect corpses according to the map.
After taking a closer look, Lin Wudao realized that with his current Fate Energy value, he could only unlock two corpse burial places.
[Character: Li Qingyun]
[Identity: Supreme Demonic Sect’s sect master from 3000 years ago]
[Cultivation: Final stage of the Grotto-Heaven realm]
[Location of Burial: Unknown]
[Status: Dead]
[Unlock Requirement: 300000 Fate Energy value]
…
[Character: Li Chunqiu]
[Identity: One of the eight Academics of the True Dragon Academy]
[Cultivation: Perfection of the Innate Sky realm]
[Location of Burial: Unknown]
[Status: Dead]
[Unlock Requirement: 500000 Fate Energy value]
…
“Which one should I unlock?”
Lin Wudao was in a dilemma.
Whether it was the Supreme Demonic Sect’s Sect Master Li Qingyun from 3000 years ago or one of the True Dragon Academy’s eight Academics, Li Chunqiu, they were both powerhouses that had surpassed the Myth realm.
According to the rules of the corpse map, once any corpse marked on the map was collected, there would definitely be a treasure.
Lin Wudao could currently unlock both of them.
“Forget it, I’ll go for the cheaper one first.”
In the end, after careful consideration, Lin Wudao chose to unlock the burial location of the demonic sect master, Li Qingyun.
[Congratulations, you’ve consumed 300000 Fate Energy value and successfully unlocked the location of Li Qingyun’s corpse.]
[For more details, please check the corpse map.]
The system’s voice sounded.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wudao looked at the corpse map and saw that the location of the corpse, which was originally vague, was now clearly displayed.
[Character: Li Qingyun]
[Identity: Supreme Demonic Sect’s sect master from 3000 years ago]
[Cultivation: Final stage of the Grotto-Heaven realm]
[Location of Burial: Sunset Battlefield]
[Status: Dead]
[Remark 1: Sunset Battlefield is located in the Myriad Great Mountain Range. It is one of the battlefields between the Barbarian Race and the humans. It was originally a blessed land but was later destroyed.]
[Remark 2: Sunset Battlefield will be opened in half a month.]
…
The Myriad Great Mountain Range?
Sunset Battlefield?
Lin Wudao fell into deep thought as he read the information.
Based on what he knew, the Myriad Great Mountain Range neighboured Shanhai County. It was the most dangerous place in the territory of Jiuzhou and contained many terrifying things.
Even now, the Barbarian race was gathered there.
“Looks like I’ll have to wait for another half a month. When the Sunset Battlefield opens, it will definitely attract many experts. As long as there are people, there will be fights. As long as there are fights, people will die. With that, I’ll have a business…” Lin Wudao muttered to himself.
The corners of his mouth lifted into a cold smile.
After he was clear about his next move, he immersed himself in cultivation.
Very quickly, three days had passed.
Early in the morning, Lin Wudao brought Li Zangtian and Han Qingshan to the Gongsun family.
