Chapter 931: Ancient God’s Corpse Demon

Yang Kong, who stood behind Leng Yan, felt an indescribable sense of crisis in his heart because of which he anxiously tapped with his foot. By relying on his intuition, he was convinced that the god ruins wouldn’t be so simple. The Alliance would never arrange a god ruins completely lacking in any danger in the night pearl small world. Yet from the time they entered to the time the coffin lid was removed, they hadn’t encountered anything other than an illusion.

The easier it was, the more anxious he became.

Moreover his intuition was rarely wrong. Once he sensed that something was wrong, a crisis would definitely appear.

Leng Yan and the two maids looked at Yang Kong anxiously tapping his foot, and a hint of confusion appeared in their eyes. They then looked at Li Yunmu standing besides the coffin.

“Little brother, since Yang Kong has said that there’s danger, you should quickly take out the godhood,” Leng Yan said. “We should quickly leave the god ruins, then we can negotiate the matter of distribution. As for other matters, we can slowly talk over them once we’re all safe.”

The moment he finished speaking, Li Yunmu pulled Ancient God Ru Shou’s hand and passed a strand of god power through his body. Then, the lifted hand smashed into his chest, instantly causing him to lose consciousness.

Leng Yan looked at the young man with a dumbfounded expression, unable to react. What exactly was going on? He had told the little thing to take the godhood and walk away, so why was he acting like a deaf person and observing the corpse in which the godhood was stuck?

“Brother Jue Qingzi, does this junior brother of Profound Sword Pavilion have some inborn defects?” Leng Yan turned to enquire.

Just as Jue Qingzi was about to speak, Yan Wanqiu hastily jumped out and said, “Oh right, junior apprentice brother is deaf.”

The moment she said those words, a loud howl which could be heard throughout the entire cave resounded from the coffin. One after another, layers of profound corpse gas spread out. A pair of delicate hands extended from the coffin, followed by two legs, and a body. When Ancient God Ru Shou walked out the corpse gas, it went inside his body through his nose and ears.

“Corpse demon...”

One of the people of the Yin Manor covered in the black fog examined the god level corpse getting up. Soon after, a line came from the black fog, which was filled with a hint of excitement and anticipation. As for whether the man was scared or if he felt true excitement born from the bottom of his heart, only he himself knew.

What concerned Leng Yan and Nine Palace’s white-gowned people, they were completely clear in their hearts that after encountering the corpse demon, it was much more important to subdue it compared to taking hold of the godhood.

After all, corpse demons were the combat power of Yin Manor’s disciples. Upon encountering one of such strength in the god ruins, the Yin Manor wouldn’t join the fight with white gowns and Leng Yan over the godhood.

A hint of madness flashed in the eyes of Leng Yan after seeing the golden light in the chest of the god’s corpse demon. As long as he only needed to fight with the people of Nine Palaces over the godhood, his chances of winning would be higher.

Leng Yan looked at the people in the black mist and said, “Yin Manor’s people, you all can attack. This corpse demon will be yours, but hand over the godhood afterwards.”

“No problem, after I get this corpse demon, I won’t join the contest between you over the godhood,” a voice said from the black mist.

The next instant, the black fog which originally very dark and thick split open. It formed into eight balls of black fog in front of the corpse demon. Eight long golden ropes flew out like hands, binding Ancient God Ru Shou, and a pool of blood passed from the end of the eight golden ropes connected with the black god.

The blood flowed along the golden ropes and entered the skin of Ancient God Ru Shou, forming eight strange imprints.

“Ah!”

Ancient god Ru Shou whose eyes were closed released a loud howl and opened his eyes, revealing pitch-black pupils. The two black dragons on his shoulders also awakened with black flames on their tongues.

Ancient God Ru Shou turned to look at the people all around him. His gaze went past the white gowns as well as Leng Yan and firmly fixed on the eight disciples of Yin Manor. Before anyone could react, he then disappeared.

“This is impossible, how can the nine seals of Yin Manor be unable to seal this corpse demon!” the disciple of Yin Manor standing at the front said as the black fog surrounding his body rushed forth.

Pa!

The corpse demon appeared out of nowhere in front of the Yun Manor’s disciple and extended his hand into the black fog. There was only a loud noise, and the black fog scattered. Black clothes and some ashes fell to the ground.

“Too bad, this is an ancient god’s corpse demon. We don’t have the power to subdue it so we will retreat first.”

The disciples of Yin Manor recognized that the corpse demon was one intentionally arranged by the power of Yin Manor in the night pearl small world. According to the records of Yin Manor, the corpse demon was formerly an ancient god of the Origin World.

An ancient god was equivalent to a golden immortal. This kind of existence had been refined into a corpse demon by accumulating a mouthful of resentment, so his strength was only slightly weaker than when he was alive.

Apart from being unable to use divine energy and abilities, he could kill a true immortal by just relying on the ancient god level physical body. Yet their group was composed of peak stage tribulation passing experts, so standing in front of an ancient god’s corpse demon was the same as courting death.

After speaking, the remaining seven black fogs combined together, and a bright light flashed, which they entered together.

Leng Yan took note of it and turned toward the Nine Palaces’ white gowns and said, “Dao brothers, are you all going to leave as well or will you follow me to subdue this corpse demon?”

“We will try.”

The nine disciples of Nine Palaces released their wooden umbrellas and raised them into the sky. While rotating, they flew toward the corpse demon from all sides. Nine wooden umbrellas fixed in their positions as if they had been placed there meticulously.

The originally ordinary wooden umbrellas erupted with layers of powerful pressure, and a silk thread flew out of the tops and bottoms of the umbrellas. It twisted in the air as it went toward other wooden umbrellas.

In a flash, the corpse demon was trapped in the spell formation of Nine Palaces formed from threads. When Leng Yan saw that, he smiled. “Good, good. Dao brothers come from Nine Palaces, so this spell formation naturally isn’t ordinary.”

The corpse demon trapped in the spell formation stopped for a moment, but just when Leng Yan finished speaking, he slowly lifted his leg and pulled the threads of Nine Palace’s spell formation. They were cut off, and the corpse demon charged out of the spell formation.

“...” Leng Yan.

Who could say what was wrong with him on that day. His face was being slapped again and again, right as he finished talking.

Once the threads were snapped, the Nine Palaces’ spell formation disappeared, and the nine wooden umbrellas returned to their owners. The nine people looked at each other with a hint of apprehension in their eyes.

After dying, the corpse demon had no soul. To deal with such a soulless creature, the method was to arrange a spell formation to trap it. So they had used a spell formation from the Nine Palaces.

Once anyone was caught in it, the white gowns would feel multitudes of changes in the spell formation. Yet the ancient god’s corpse demon came out of the Nine Palaces’ spell formation, which made the head of the white gowns become vigilant.

“We, the disciples of Nine Palaces, are unable to deal with this ancient god’s corpse demon. Brother Leng Yan, we will leave this godhood to you, goodbye!”

After those words, a fragment of the key appeared in the hands of the leader of white gowns. It floated in the air to form a streak of white light which engulfed the disciples of Nine Palaces.

Only Jue Qingzi’s and Leng Yan’s groups remained in the cave.

Leng Yan looked at Jue Qingzi and said with a smile, “Brother, this time we will need to rely on you! This ancient god’s corpse demon is extremely formidable, so only the lineage of sword immortal can have the strength to contend against it! What do you think?”
