Everything had been prepared, so all that was left was to find my parents' corpses.
Early the next morning, Yan Nantian once again possessed Wei Sanpeng's corpse and pretended to be my corpse puppet. He went out with me to the Corpse Sect's kitchen.
Delivering food was something that every disciple of the Corpse Sect had to do since childhood. Wei Sanpeng's memory of it was very clear. I walked to the kitchen as if I was familiar with it. There were already a dozen people who were on duty there.
After eating in the kitchen, the kitchen master began to assign tasks to everyone. I took the initiative to apply for the corpse storage area. Then, I pushed the cart that was prepared in the kitchen with a lot of food and rushed to the corpse storage area.
My parents' corpses should be in the corpse storage area. I wasn't in a hurry to go there, so I first went to the other caves in the corpse storage area.
The Corpse Sect's rules were very strict, so there was a set time to deliver food. If I was late, I would definitely be held responsible. In order to prevent any accidents, I delivered the food to the other caves before heading to the corpse storage area.
There weren't many people on duty in the corpse storage warehouse. Usually, there were only two people like me, who were at the same level as me, taking turns to be on duty. It shouldn't be too difficult to use the Ancestral Searching Talisman to fool them temporarily.
I originally had great confidence in my plan, but I didn't think that after entering the corpse storage area, I would see three people.
Aside from the two Pressure Point Realm people on duty, there was also one in the Glory of Knowledge realm. Moreover, I had seen this person before. He was the corpse storage area's Daren Hu.
Why was he here?
My heart sank. Things had changed. I was afraid that today wouldn't be so smooth.
Whether it was Tong Tong or I, we both had a lot of methods to deceive them. However, the Glory of Knowledge realm wasn't something the two of us could deal with.
Holding the food in my hand, I walked over to the two Pressure Point Realm people and asked softly, "What should I do?"
The corpse puppet that Yan Nantian was residing in was right next to me. He naturally knew that I was talking to him. Very quickly, his voice rang in my head and he said to me, "My Yang God power hasn't recovered yet, so I can't help you. But you can think of a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain and trick this Glory of Consciousness realm person out."
I sighed helplessly. It seemed we could only do this.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went to put down the food, before I could come up with a good idea, Mr. Hu suddenly called me. It seemed he wanted to ask me something.
However, before he opened his mouth, he had the two people on duty leave, leaving me alone in the warehouse.
I was a little anxious, but Mr. Hu didn't seem to be in a bad mood. His cold face seemed to be wearing a smile. However, as the Yin energy was shrouding him, I couldn't see it clearly.
After they left, Lord Hu finally opened his mouth and asked me to tell him the story of the strange corpse that we had encountered that day.
After I told him my story, he asked me if I knew what was so special about the corpse.
Of course, I know that. It's just that Tong Tong separated a strand of Heavenly Yin Qi on the corpse.
Of course, I couldn't tell him that, so I shook my head. I couldn't explain it clearly.
At this moment, Mr. Hu laughed and said to me, "You little rascal, you're really good at pretending. However, you're willing to bring such a good thing back to me, so you're showing your filial piety. If you have any problems with your cultivation in the future, just come and find me."
Then, he clasped his hands behind his back and left the corpse warehouse.
I was a little confused by his words. I didn't know what was going on, but I didn't have time to think about what he'd said.
Mr. Hu had left, and the two people on duty hadn't returned yet. This was a golden opportunity.
I decisively took out the Ancestral Seeking Talisman and immediately used it on my body.
In the blink of an eye, a gray aura floated out of my body and flew into the depths of the warehouse.
I was overjoyed and hurried to follow them.
The gray aura circled around the warehouse. Eventually, it drifted to a wooden shelf in the middle and disappeared.
I suppressed the excitement in my heart and quickly walked to the place where the gray aura had disappeared. I pulled out the corpses on the wooden shelf.
After looking at the corpses, tears welled up in my eyes. My father and mother's corpses were in the middle of these corpses.
Looking at my closest relatives turned into cold corpses, I recalled what had happened that day. The Lu family, Lu Zhenyang, and the black-clothed old man that Lu Zhenyang had called Third Grandpa.
Sooner or later, I would take revenge for this grudge, bit by bit, bit by bit!
While my heart was in turmoil, I heard footsteps behind me. I hurried to hold back my tears and calmed down. I slowly turned around.
The two acupressure realm corpse cultivators returned at this time. They didn't look nervous when they saw me standing in front of the corpse storage rack. They asked me curiously, "What are you doing over there?"
I smiled and said, "My corpse puppet recently showed signs of advancing, so I came to apply for a few corpses. I haven't submitted my application yet, but since it's my turn to deliver food today, I decided to take a look."
When the two people heard me, their faces were filled with envy. "What realm is my corpse puppet at?"
When I told them that it was the middle stage of the acupoint sealing realm, the envy on their faces intensified and they congratulated me one after another.
After exchanging greetings, I quickly left the corpse warehouse. After returning the food to the kitchen, I went to the Black Zombie Cave's area D to apply for two ordinary corpses.
In the Corpse Yin Sect, corpses were common consumables. Adding on the fact that I had only applied for ordinary corpses, no one asked me anything and I was directly approved. Then I took the approval and went to the corpse warehouse to take out my parents' corpses.
After taking the corpses, I had accomplished half of my goal. I hurried back to my cave residence and took my parents' corpses. Together with Yan Nantian, we entered the Yin energy passage through a small hole we had dug earlier.
After entering the passage, the thick Yin energy in the passage formed a hurricane. Even at my realm, I felt extremely cold. Fortunately, it was only the Yin energy of the Mysterious level, so I could endure it. Under Yan Nantian's guidance, we quickly went to the secret passage he had mentioned.
After walking through the rugged Yin energy passage for around half an hour, we arrived in front of a winding mountain wall. According to the direction of the passage, we were supposed to go southeast. However, Yan Nantian went to the stone wall in the northeast. He picked up a big rock from the ground and threw it at the stone wall.
The stone wall, which looked normal, suddenly collapsed, revealing a new passage.
Yan Nantian controlled the corpse puppet to enter the passage first. I carried my parents' corpses and followed him.
The passage wasn't long, but there were many twists and turns. After walking for around ten minutes, we finally reached the end of the passage.
This end was different from the previous entrance. The exit wasn't on the stone wall in front of us. Yan Nantian pointed at a small circular hole above our heads. "The exit is over there."
Then, he controlled the corpse puppet's body to jump up to the side of the stone wall. He reached out his hand and poked the circular hole. Immediately, dazzling sunlight shone in.
From the ground to the top of the hole, it was three or four meters high. However, to us, this height was nothing. After a few minutes, I took my parents' corpses and climbed out with Yan Nantian.
After we got out, the surrounding terrain was very strange. I looked around for a long time, but I didn't know where we were.
Yan Nantian told me that this was the foothills of Mount Taihang in the northeast.
When I came here, I had come from the southwest foothills, but now, I was in the northeast.
Since the Corpse Sect would send people to check the situation of the cave dwellings, we didn't dare to linger. I hurried to find a safe place to hide my parents' corpses. Then, I used the Yin Gathering Talismans to set up a small Yin Gathering Formation to ensure that my parents' corpses wouldn't rot. Then, I followed Yan Nantian and returned to my cave dwelling in the Corpse Sect.
