Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse-Chapter 144 - 94: The Origin of the True Spirit Divine Tree, Demons Stronger Than the True Spirit Demon Race

The expression was not looking good.

It seemed even more grave than when seeing the Tier Two True Spirit Demon.

"What's the matter?"

Upon realizing, Eastern Celestial City immediately inquired.

Wu Xiu gravely whispered, "The demonic qi released when the True Spirit Divine Tree dissipated doesn't belong to the True Spirit Demon Race."

"Are you saying..."

Eastern Celestial City halted his intention to leave, hesitated, and stopped speaking.

It doesn't belong to the True Spirit Demon Race.

That means it is an outsider.

In other words, this fake True Spirit Divine Tree is highly likely to have been smuggled into the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss by an infiltrator hidden in Deadman Peak.

There is no other possibility aside from that.

Wu Xiu dared not speculate further and continued, "I can't be sure, but I am certain this demonic qi is not from an ordinary demon race. Even a trace of it can erode my Yin Spirit, something the True Spirit Demon Race cannot do. Thus, this demon is absolutely a being more sinister than the True Spirit Demon Race!"

"More sinister than the True Spirit Demon Race?"

Eastern Celestial City's expression changed as well, for there wasn't a more sinister demon than the True Spirit Demon Race in the entire Far West spanning three thousand miles.

That proves it comes from an external force.

Similar to the Celestial Left Alliance.

But it's hard to determine if it's from the Celestial Left Alliance or not.

"Do not speak of this. Let no third party know. I will immediately investigate all those who possess an Array Order," Eastern Celestial City reminded.

But after saying this, he seemed to feel something was amiss.

Because his master had once said that no Tier Two Demons could be spawned in the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, yet one indeed emerged now.

Hence, he faintly felt someone might bypass the Array Order and enter the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss in some other way.

If so,

The scope of investigation could be extensive, potentially encompass half of Deadman Peak!

"But it could also be someone without an Array Order." Elder Wu Xiu speculated and then immediately withdrew his Yin Spirit, suddenly turned around, and flew out of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, moving extremely fast.

He moved so quickly that Eastern Celestial City didn't react in time.

The next moment, Elder Wu Xiu's urgent warning came, "Hurry and leave, over a thousand True Spirit Demons are charging out in anger!"

"You didn't say earlier!"

Eastern Celestial City cursed quietly and instantly fled with his weapon.

Three breaths later.

Hundreds and thousands of True Spirit Demon Race flooded out like a torrent, but they did not chase in the direction Eastern Celestial City and the other left, instead angrily pounced toward Wen Jiu's distant hiding Yin Spirit.

"Damn."

"They're actually coming for me!"

Despite the surprise, Wen Jiu did not let the Yin Spirit escape; instead, he delivered the Yin Spirit to the mouth of the True Spirit Demon Race, allowing them to obliterate it.

Because if the Great Elder and others saw the True Spirit Demon Race chasing his Yin Spirit toward Deadman Peak, he would be exposed.

After the Yin Spirit was annihilated,

Wen Jiu's gaze returned to the room, and as he sat on the square chair, a tinge of helplessness surged up.

Was it just because he had stolen a dozen corpses of the True Spirit Demon Race and a large amount of True Spirit Essence Blood?

Was it worth it?

They had been imprisoned for eight hundred years.

Why such a big temper?

Just then, Wen Jiu suddenly realized a problem, "They have remembered my Yin Spirit's aura, perhaps even my aura. If I were to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss again, I guess they would rush over at the first moment... It seems I can only stay home and practice the Hidden God Technique until it's mastered to a small degree before going back into the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss."

Fortunately, mastering the Hidden God Technique to a small degree wouldn't take long, so Wen Jiu didn't mind this minor issue.

Immediately afterward, Wen Jiu's thoughts returned to the low-voiced conversation between Elder Wu Xiu and Eastern Celestial City.

It sounded like this change in the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss might be a conspiracy, with someone trying to use the True Spirit Demon Race to create havoc at Deadman Peak.

Although the two did not say it clearly, Wen Jiu could guess a bit; it was highly likely to be the work of an infiltrator from the Spirit Suppression Department.

Those owning an Array Order are undoubtedly the primary suspects.

Including Xiang Wenlong.

"It seems the matter of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss may not be something that can be simply suppressed."

If the Great Elder and the others reveal the truth, the disciples of Deadman Peak might not find peace of mind.

If they casually lie, but secretly investigate people from the Spirit Suppression Department, it will inevitably generate some rumors and gossip.

After all, there isn't a wall in the world that doesn't allow wind to pass through.

"It seems there will be turmoil for a while." Wen Jiu couldn't help but sigh.

...

Soon enough.

The scene of the elders leaving the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss in a muddled state unsurprisingly got noticed by numerous Deadman Peak disciples.

When they saw that even Elder Ye Chen and the Great Elder were badly scarred, with some elders covered in bloodstains, an uneasiness surfaced in the hearts of those already agitated.

Even for the personal disciples of the elders.

Who felt the same.

After all, if the elders were in such dire shape,

If it were them, they would certainly face death.

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss is right next to Deadman Peak.

"Master!"

Seeing the situation, Li Mu hurriedly stepped forward to support Elder Ye Chen and quickly took out a piece of Tier One Middle-Grade Healing Elixir.

"Junior brother wanted to come see you just now, but I stopped him... This bottle of healing elixir is from the junior brother, who asked me to bring it."

Elder Ye Chen accepted the elixir and consumed it all in one go, "It wasn't for nothing that I cared for this kid; he still remembers the old man's safety. Alright, dismiss the people from the Inspection Hall, the trouble in the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss has been resolved."

"Master, you're amazing, I knew there would be no problem with you handling it, so I wasn't worried at all after you entered the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss!"

Li Mu quickly praised him.

And showered him with compliments.

Witnessing this, Moqiu and the others sighed in awe.

Who would have thought that the usually cold and merciless Li Hall would be like this behind others' backs.

Soon enough.

The elders left one by one, and the Fire Spirit Beast also returned to the top of Deadman Peak under the gaze of everyone.

But the appearance of the Fire Spirit Beast didn't alleviate the crowd's anxiety because it was also covered in bloodied wounds. Instead, the injuries on the Fire Spirit Beast intensified the disciples' unsettled feelings.

After the elders left, the matter of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss quickly fermented, with the sense of unease and heavy atmosphere seemingly spreading beyond Deadman Peak, but the Great Elder let it spread as it would.

However, he also issued an announcement.

It was brief.

But it stirred up an uproar.

It was precisely the slaying of the Tier Two Demon!

Upon the release of this announcement, the anxious mood weighing down most Main Peak disciples was alleviated by more than half.

Replaced with excitement.

Along with a sense of pride.

And also some self-satisfaction.

Because the Tier Two Demon is comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

However, Wen Jiu did not hold an optimistic view of these matters, because once they start investigating the infiltrator, the news will certainly leak, again causing unrest among the people of Deadman Peak, and possibly leading to mutual suspicion.

But Wen Jiu didn't mind because, in essence, it's not a significant problem.

As long as the Peak Master returns.

Everything will be resolved effortlessly.

After witnessing the Fire Spirit Beast and the Great Elder return to their residences, Wen Jiu promptly visited the Earth Treasure Department to purchase four bottles of top-grade Tier One Middle-Grade Healing Elixirs, spending a total of five to six hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Quite a lot.

But there's no choice but to spend those Spirit Stones.

Because he planned to visit the residences of Xun Jiangxing, Xiang Wenlong, Elder Ye Chen, and the Great Elder.

After all, mixing in the sect, the proper attitude is crucial.

If it were someone else, they might not even get the chance to gift a healing elixir to forge connections, but he had the privilege to ascend the mountain, so why not go?

If possible.

He'd like to curry favor with a few more powerful figures.

He'd rather settle issues through connections than by having the Three Evil Corpses intervene.

After visiting all four residences, Wen Jiu returned home, ready to continue grinding for experience. Notably, upon visiting his master's residence, his master was somewhat surprised to see the elixir he brought, even using the word "again."

Wen Jiu was no fool, he promptly guessed that Senior Brother Li Mu must have sent a bottle of healing elixir to their master under his own name.

"This senior brother is reliable!" Wen Jiu marveled.

He then waited for midnight to fall.

Just waiting for the daily settlement to start.

He was eager to see how much True Spirit Essence Blood Three Thousand Blood Inks' corpses had absorbed.

He roughly estimated, guessing it was about three to four times the amount of True Spirit Essence Blood in the Corpse Eye.

At the very least.

At the same time, Wen Jiu was very curious whether Three Thousand Blood Inks' corpse was now called the Yin Evil Blood Curse Body or something else.
