Chapter 135

At the same time, it was this journey of escape that made the twins of corpse puppet sect notorious. Nearly 90% of those who chased them died in their hands. Moreover, the more cultivators who died in their hands, the higher their cultivation level became. In the end, even a cultivator of nascent soul suffered, and those who were chasing them only started retreating then.

Xu Zirong hated lunatics with no limits. In his past life, what the twins from the corpse puppet sect cherished the most was the younger sister. And after her sister died, the older one had become a lunatic with no limits.

If he provoked a normal person, he could still try coordinating with benefits or use his strength to suppress. However, if he encountered a lunatic, theres simply no other way than to kill her.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that the woman from the corpse puppet sect hadnt gone crazy, so perhaps theres a way to make her give up on the thought?

Jiang Yings smartness in his reaction made Xu Zirong pleased, and he didnt want to lose such a nice subordinate.

Ba Ji!

There was a sound in the quiet room. Xu Zirong turned his head and he saw Pink Hair slowly raised its paw on the ground

Under its pink paws, a black worm had already been crushed

Xu Zirong,

The gluttonous,

Pink Hair, Ka cha, continue to eat carrots!

After gently rubbing his forehead, Xu Zirong decisively gave up on the thought of getting along with

Xu Zirong didnt know when the little sister of the corpse puppet died, but if things didnt change too much, he couldnt get away from the craziness of the twins. It might be better to just kill them and get rid of this trouble once and for all.

Xu Zirongs gaze got dimmed, and theres an intention of murder in his eyes. His brother was completely unable to protect himself, if he wanted to kill that woman, he must beware of her moving away.

After out a piece of jade pendant from his pocket and crushing it, it didnt take long before Jiang Ying and Fang Tianrui returned to the courtyard.

After knowing that the woman who tried to seduce him was a disciple of the corpse puppet sect, Jiang Ying started to feel scared.

Fortunately, this woman was greedy and wanted to refine the zombie of the demonic core. Otherwise, if she reported this to someone else and if some cultivator of golden core or nascent soul showed up, then Xu Ziyan and the others would surely be at risk.

Sowhats important for us is to stop her from sending signals to her master. Xu Zirong told Jiang Ying.

Of course! The gentle Jiang Ying smiled gently, but theres a naked sense of murder under his eyes.

If someone wanted his demonic core, it all depends if that person could survive first.

On the other hand, after Suyue lost contact with her corpse puppet worm, she started panicking. She always thought that she had hidden the worm very well, and shed never expect that it would be crushed to death by a pink rabbit

As the corpse puppet worm was pushed out by Suyue forcefully, she couldnt feel whether the worm was still alive or not. There were also many reasons to lose contact with the worm, one of each would be it being put into a Qiankun bag.

Suyue was super desperate, although the corpse puppet worm wasnt really a living organism, it wasnt a dead object either. It wouldnt be able to survive inside a Qiankun bag, even though it might hold on for some time.

Her desperate feelings were obvious. Fang Zhizhi thought of something when he saw Suyue so anxious.

Sister, dont worry, Im sure theyll fall into the trap. Eyue lightly comforted her sister. Suyue nodded and kept silent on her bedside.

Fang Zhizhi watched aside coldly, but doubts arose in his heart. Although Suyue said that she had methods to lure that person out of the city, she wasnt specific in it. Logically speaking, theres no reason for her to hide at all, as they were all on the same boat. However, since Suyue hadnt revealed the whole truth, this made Fang Zhizhi start doubting if Suyue had other intentions.

Its reasonable for him to be suspicious, as one should be like that to survive in the corpse puppet sect. Otherwise, he wouldve become someone elses zombie long time ago. Since he could become his masters favorite disciple in a few years, being talented wouldnt be enough.

Since he could suppress the hatred in his heart and have a smooth development in his enemys sect, it already proved that he had very high emotional intelligence.

Sister, the two of them quarreled, that person went out alone! Eyue stood by the window, looking at the scene below and said excitedly.

What? Suyue stood up abruptly and hurried to the window.

Outside the window, not far away, they could see the person with demonic core saying something to the man next to him angrily. The other man looked cold and didnt have any reactions.

It was not so much a quarrel between the two, it looked more like the person with demonic core whos venting to the other party. In the end, the two parted unhappily, and the one with demonic core left the inn quietly.

When the two quarreled, they were very careful. They made sure to release a spell to block any potential investigation, and therefore Suyue and Eyue couldnt listen to their conversation without alerting them.

However, from their facial expressions just now, it seemed that its more like a fight between a couple?

Suyue started thinking more deeply when she thought of the way she acted when she sent the corpse puppet worm. Perhaps the worm hadnt become as useful as she initially thought, but the talisman of communication had helped her in another way.

Hurry up! Fang Zhizhi yelled, and three figures quickly followed Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying headed towards the gate with an angry face, as if he wanted to find a place to vent.

Su Yue was overjoyed, while Eyue was happy for her sister, she couldnt help but look at Fang Zhizhi secretly. She was secretly admiring this senior brother whos so good-looking. However, her sister once reminded her that no men were reliable, just like their father who had affairs with different female cultivators.

However, once she could refine her senior brother into her zombie, then she could permanently own him, she also wouldnt have to worry about him being seduced!

Its just thatwhen Eyue thought of how dull and cold a zombie looked, she felt a bit pitiful. She preferred her senior brother whos gentle and smiley, and she was not sure whether he could still be the same after being refined as a zombie.

Fang Zhizhis facial expression remained unchanged, it looked as if he was following behind Suyue, chasing Jiang Ying, but he was actually paying attention to Eyues facial expression.

As twins, Eyue had been well maintained by Suyue. Very often, she couldnt hide her real emotions.

Fang Zhizhi felt his heart sink when he noticed Eyue looking pitiful and excited at the same time.

Fang Zhizhis face was as sinking as water, and he seemed to have been following Suyue, tracking Jiang Ying, but in fact, he had been paying attention to Eyues expression.

Although she is twins, Ke Eyue has always been well protected by Suyue, which has caused her to be unable to conceal her true emotions in many cases.

He lowered his eyes secretly, but he kept walking fast. In his mind, there was already another plan. To be frank, he had no emotional ties with the whole corpse puppet sect at all, even his master, who seemed to cherish him, only treated him as an obedient tool.

Sisters like Suyue and Eyue also meant nothing for him. In fact, in most sects of demon cultivation, he needed to pay attention to sisters and brothers within the same sect.

Suyue stared at Jiang Yings back and she frowned slightly. Although things went as shed expected, that he left Five Ghost City, all seemed too smoothly and it made her a little worried.

However, a demonic core was something she could not miss, she had to take this risk even if theres a trap.

Jiang Ying was furious, and his expression of resentment did not seem to be fake. When he left the Five Ghost City, he carefully chose a relatively open road.

Many cultivators who traveled to and from the Five Ghost City occasionally passed this road, and the residents of the surrounding towns of mortals would also use this road to sell their goods in the Five Ghost City.

Suyue naturally didnt mind the lives of those mortals, but she had to be careful of the cultivators who passed by.

She didnt want this demonic core, which shed tried so hard to get, to be possessed by the others.

Jiang Ying walked along the road for a while, then turned a corner and walked into a forest.

Suyue followed him, but didnt get too close. Instead, she slowed down and got close to Fang Zhizhis side.

What? Fang Zhizhi raised his eyes and glanced at her.

It seems that something is wrong. Suyue said vigilantly. This forest was already some distance away from the Five Ghost City. It was logical to assume that it was the best place to ambush, but she still felt uneasy.

Fang Zhizhi blinked, with a puzzled look in his eyes, are you worried that he will ambush us?

Suyue nodded.

A cold light flashed through Fang Zhizhis eyes, but a look of disdain appeared on his face afterwards, how would he ambush you if you havent shown any traces? Could it be that He squinted his eyes and his tone got colder, have you done anything behind my back and he found out about it?

Of course not. Suyue tried to cover the guilt in her heart and said coldly. Until now, she still hadnt successfully contacted her corpse puppet worm. She would of course worry if the worm got exposed already.

However, the existence of this corpse puppet worm was the secret of the corpse puppet sect. She didnt think that a passing cultivator could detect the worm inside the talisman when theres no spiritual flow at all.

Itd better to be like this. Fang Zhizhi glared at her coldly. Previously, he was just doubting whether Suyue had done something behind his back, and now hes completely sure of it.

No matter how calculating Su Yue was, she was still only a teenager. In terms of observing others behavior and expression, she still couldnt beat Fang Zhizhi who had gone through so much in the sect for five years.

Fang Zhizhi had already noticed how uneasy she felt, and hes now completely sure that she had done something behind his back.

However, no matter if its something that Suyue did to scare the others, or something done by Jiang Ying, Fang Zhizhi had no intention to interfere at all.

Initially, he had no interest in refining zombies. If he didnt need to find the Soul Calling Bell which was the most important for him, he wouldnt accept Suyues request at all. And if he still participated after already knowing that somethings wrong, he would be the biggest fool ever.

Hes in, if we dont keep up, he will run away. If you are afraid, then well look for another opportunity. Fang Zhizhi glanced at the direction in which Jiang Ying had disappeared, and said in a low voice.

Suyue also took a look, she bit her lower lip, her expression showing a bit of struggle, but it quickly turned into a hint of decisiveness.

Lets go! She said in a low voice and chased up.

Eyue followed closely, and she did not forget to check Fang Zhizhi before she went. His eyes seemed a bit weird, they seemed a bit pitiful, as if hes sighing

Fang Zhizhis facial expressions slightly changed, yet he still followed. Its only that his position was a bit specific its not too far yet not too close to Suyue. Itd be easy for him to join a fight with this distance, and he could also escape the scene if he had to flee.

Jiang Yings figure flashed through the bushes like a shadow. Suyue was worried that things might change if she wanted any longer. She decided to take out her dagger and throw it towards Jiang Ying.

Ah! Jiang Ying screamed. His back was stabbed and he fell.

Suyue was stunned, and Eyue also showed a look of disbelief.

Could he be kidding?

Jiang Ying was a cultivator at the later stage of building base. Although her dagger was a sharp weapon, it still couldnt have killed him with just one shot?

The sisters glanced at each other, their eyes were filled with disbelief. However, its the fact, and Jiang Ying indeed died in front of them. They also hadnt experienced any ambush.

What is thisbrother? Suyue wanted to ask Fang Zhizhi about it, yet when she turned her head, she found that her senior brother was already gone.

In fact, Fang Zhizhi had already noticed something was wrong when Suyue threw the dagger at Jiang Ying. He was a cultivator at the late stage of building base, and the scope of his divine consciousness was much larger than that of the two sisters.

In his divine consciousness, there was not a single living thing in this forest, which in itself was a very abnormal thing.

Hes not like the two sisters who had never been out of the sect and had no experience in fighting. Inside the sect, even when theres fight between brothers, they wouldnt aim at each others death.

However, when they were outside, there were all kinds of methods to fight among cultivators. Once theres something wrong, the cultivators would naturally become much more cautious.

Fang Zhizhi already had experience in this regard, and he would of course not fall into traps as easily as the two sisters. However, since he knew that these two sisters had bad intentions about him, he wouldnt remind them kindly.

And since he already possessed the Soul Calling Bell, it wouldnt do him any harm if these two sisters never returned. In that case, no one would ever know that he already had the bell.

As Fang Zhizhi retired in time, and Xu Zirong happened to remember this handsome man vaguely, and he didnt stop him on purpose.

In his memory, this young man seemed to have met him in his previous life. At that time, there was a young female corpse puppet behind him, and that young man was gently feeding her and wiping the blood near the corner of her mouth.

As a demon cultivator himself, Xu Zirong had a good impression of this young man. Now that they saw each other again, Xu Zirong was willing to let him go.

Fang Zhizhi retreated, which immediately left Suyue and Eyue in trouble.

As two female cultivators of the early stage of building base, who had no experience in life-and-death fighting, they couldnt defend themselves under the arrays of Xu Zirong and the combined attack of Jiang Ying and Fang Tianrui.

Initially, Fang Tianrui still didnt want to be so cruel when Suyue and Eyue begged them. However, he acted decisively after Xu Zirong told him coldly that the sisters intended to refine Jiang Ying as their zombie.

Although he was a bit traditional and rigid, he still knew what to do at the right moment. Also, Jiang Ying was of utmost importance for him, no matter if hes his savior or his destined lover. It would be enough for him to act decisively and to be cruel to any enemies threatening their safety.

A few minutes ago, Suyue and Eyue were still energetic girls in their teenage years, yet they had suddenly become two corpses

Burn them. Xu Zirong coldly glanced at the corpses. After making sure that they were dead, he told Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying lit up a black flame and burnt the corpses of the two sisters.

This black flame was the spiritual flame he condensed after he cultivated the Lost Soul Spell. Although it was not large in size and did not seem to be powerful, it was specifically designed to burn the soul.

It was Xu Zirong who had taught him how to use the Lost Soul Spell, and he of course knew the use of this spiritual flame. Xu Zirong told Jiang Ying to burn them, and thats because he wanted to get rid of their souls as well.

One cannot blame Xu Zirong for being so cruel. Since he had been in demon cultivation for so long, he knew very well that there were tons of ways to make someone resurrect. Of course, those who managed to get resurrected were not normal people anymore, but when they faced the twins of corpse puppet sect who didnt mind any consequences and who could go so far, he didnt want to take any risks.

After dealing with the two corpses, Xu Zirong also removed the array that hed set before.

After all, they were in the territory of the corpse puppet sect, he didnt want to be noticed by a cultivator of nascent soul at least not now.

After returning to the spot where hed set the ambush, Xu Zirong squinted his eyes and slowly stretched his hand towards the direction of Pink Hair and Snowball.

Suddenly, something shocking happened!

His hands disappeared bit by bit along with his movement, just like hes actively feeding his hands into some monsters mouth.

After sensing it for a while with his instincts, Xu Zirong again seemed to be holding something, and slowly took his hand back.

Along with his movements, a slender figure gradually appeared. This figure had a wide, open shirt, a blushed face with an angry look, which didnt really match with Xu Zirongs plain and calm face

Sorry, I am still not skilled enough to find my brother. Xu Zirong smiled apologetically, but Xu Ziyan noticed how reckless Xu Zirong was from his dark eyes

Xu Ziyan stared at Xu Zirong taking care of his clothes angrily and he couldnt express his bitter feelings. All in all, Little Square was a special existence. Although Pink Hair and Snowball could help him position, Xu Zirong could only find where Little Square was. And that gave him an opportunity to touch his brother as well. If he couldnt see Xu Ziyan, then he could find him by touching everywhere he could, and if he accidentally touched somewhere that he shouldnt, its only because Xu Ziyan was unlucky

For this ambush to succeed, Xu Ziyan admitted the existence of Little Square. After all, he had already exposed it last time, there shouldnt be an issue to expose even more

After making sure that his brother was safe, Xu Zirong could set the trap there without any worries and get rid of the twin sisters of corpse puppet sect.

When he set this plan, theyd already made preparations to leave Five Ghost City. All in all, they were in the territory of the corpse puppet sect, even though they did this discreetly, they still let one of their disciples flee.

At that time, Xu Zirong and Jiang Ying did not have the energy to hunt down Fang Zhizhi, as under the circumstances at the time, Xu Zirong had to ensure that Suyue got killed, and he couldnt leave that array.

With the strength of Fang Zhizhi, even if Jiang Ying managed to chase him, there might not be positive consequences. They might as well bet that the man, who was carrying the young female corpse puppet, would be the rebellious disciple who had snatched away the zombie of the cultivator of nascent soul

After leaving the Five Ghost City, Xu Zirong began to use Cloud Shuttle to lead the way. He had been in the dense forest with monsters before. No one could say for sure whether they would attract a lot of flying monsters by using the Cloud Shuttle.

However, in this plain area, it would be a great idea to use it. In just two days, they managed to bypass two cities very close to Five Ghost City, and they arrived in a large city called the Day Devouring City.

This Day Devouring City was controlled by the Qilian family, and this Qilian family was a family of cultivation which had been doing business for many generations.

Strangely, most members of the Qilian family were interested in commercial activities, and those who were interested in cultivation all had great achievements.

At least for now, the Qilian family already had four cultivators of nascent soul, and its really one of the top among all the families of cultivation.

With this kind of strength, it would be more than enough to build a middle-level sect, but the Qilian family was only involved in commerce. Never had they ever participated in any fights.

Such a neutral family could manage very well in righteous and evil sects. After all, the exchange of resources was necessary for territories controlled by demon or righteous cultivators. The Qilian family happened to be the best middleman between the two.
