NOVPUBCorpse Poison Mountain was enshrouded in miasma all year round, a perilous place that ordinary people couldn’t even approach. The Heavenly Corpse Sect that dwelt within Corpse Poison Mountain was among the top ranks of the Evil Sects and Demon Gates, not something that the likes of the Huangquan Sect could compare to!
"This is Corpse Poison Mountain?"
Riding on a white crane, Su Changkong arrived at the outskirts of Corpse Poison Mountain in just half a day.
From a distance, the entire Corpse Poison Mountain was shrouded in thick miasma, rendering its secrets inscrutable.
Su Changkong had no intention of entering. He merely slightly stirred his thoughts, voluntarily releasing a wisp of his aura before descending and waiting quietly outside Corpse Poison Mountain. He believed that the Heavenly Corpse Old Man would surely sense his arrival with his perception of aura.
In a dark cave of the Heavenly Corpse Sect in Corpse Poison Mountain, a huge red-lacquered wooden coffin lay quietly there.
"Creak!"
At this moment, the silent red-lacquered wooden coffin made a creaking sound as it was pushed open from the inside, releasing a thick grey mist which made the cave even more chillingly cold.
From the coffin, a withered old man dressed in grey clothes and marked with mottled spots of a corpse rose up—none other than the Heavenly Corpse Old Man of the Heavenly Corpse Sect!
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s dull yellow eyes flashed with surprise, "Is that Dao Wufeng? What does he want with me? Could he be planning to make a move against our Heavenly Corpse Sect?"
Su Changkong had released his own aura outside Corpse Poison Mountain, and the Heavenly Corpse Old Man immediately sensed it. He deduced from this aura that Su Changkong had come, which left the Heavenly Corpse Old Man perplexed.
Had Su Changkong, after consecutively plundering several of the Evil Sects and Demon Gates, now set his sights on their Heavenly Corpse Sect?
But if he had really targeted the Heavenly Corpse Sect, Su Changkong should have taken action directly rather than revealing his aura in advance.
"Let’s see!"
With a thought swift as lightning, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man didn’t hesitate. His gaunt figure leaped up, becoming a grey phantom that vanished into the cave, heading toward the outside of Corpse Poison Mountain.
"He’s coming!"
Outside Corpse Poison Mountain, Su Changkong felt the Heavenly Corpse Old Man rapidly approaching and waited in silence.
After a short while, a withered grey-clothed old man appeared out of the grey miasma ahead—it was indeed the Heavenly Corpse Old Man.
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man looked around with his dull yellow eyes and finally locked onto Su Changkong. A smile appeared on his face, "Dao Wufeng, you’ve come all this way to see this old man, what a rarity!"
Having noticed Su Changkong revealing his aura, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had immediately hurried over.
Of course, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had an unforgettable impression of Dao Wufeng. The man had slain Superior Xuanming with three chops, displaying a Blade Soul level Blade Technique!
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man even suspected that Dao Wufeng was the reincarnation of the Martial Saint. Su Changkong’s arrival made it necessary for the Heavenly Corpse Old Man to proceed with caution.
Su Changkong, staring at the Heavenly Corpse Old Man, said, "Heavenly Corpse Old Man, I need a favor from you."
Hearing this, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man maintained his smile, "Sure, this old man has always enjoyed helping others! May I ask what it is?"
Naturally, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man did not want to get too close to Su Changkong to avoid isolation from other Evil Sects and Demon Gates, but with Su Changkong taking the initiative to seek him out, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man intended to hear him out first.
Su Changkong cut to the chase, stating his purpose directly, "I have some enmity with the Life Extinguishing Association, and I need you to help me find their stronghold."
This single sentence from Su Changkong caused a slight change in the Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s expression.
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man forced a smile, "Dao Wufeng, the Life Extinguishing Association is not a group you want to mess with. Most of them are one thing, but there are a few old fellows in there... extremely terrifying. I know you have a grudge against the Life Extinguishing Association, but it’s better not to offend them too deeply."
The Life Extinguishing Association was an organization the Heavenly Corpse Old Man knew to be very new, but it truly contained extremely terrifying individuals. Even the Heavenly Corpse Old Man himself would not want to provoke them needlessly.
Su Changkong’s request to help locate the Life Extinguishing Association’s stronghold was asking for trouble. If it attracted such a powerful enemy and brought no benefits, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man certainly did not wish to make enemies.
Su Changkong continued, "I only need you to help me locate the Life Extinguishing Association’s stronghold; I don’t need you to take action."
Su Changkong hadn’t expected the Heavenly Corpse Old Man to join him against the Life Extinguishing Association. His sole purpose in finding the Heavenly Corpse Old Man was to utilize his astonishing Tracking Art to find the location of the Life Extinguishing Association; he would handle the rest himself.
"This old man does not want to invite unnecessary trouble. Please find someone else," the Heavenly Corpse Old Man refused, shaking his head. Currently, he just wanted to wait quietly until a great opportunity arose, at which point he would give his all to fight for it—one last time—either to die or to soar to the heavens! To achieve his desire!
Before that, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had no intention of provoking the Life Extinguishing Association, and he outright refused.
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s refusal caused Su Changkong’s expression to turn cold, and a glint of icy light flashed in his eyes, "Heavenly Corpse Old Man, last time you helped Superior Xuanming find me. Had I not been slightly more powerful than Superior Xuanming, I would have been the one to die! You’re afraid of offending the Life Extinguishing Association? But you’ve already offended me.
If you’re unwilling to help me find the Life Extinguishing Association, then let’s settle last time’s score today! I am always one to return an eye for an eye!"
Su Changkong was speaking the truth. Though the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had not joined Superior Xuanming in attacking him last time, by helping Superior Xuanming track him down, he had indeed incited Su Changkong’s intent to kill. At that time, Su Changkong wasn’t totally confident he could defeat the Heavenly Corpse Old Man, so he had let it go.
But now, if the Heavenly Corpse Old Man wouldn’t help him, that made him an enemy! Time to settle the previous score!
