Shen Kai stood up and walked to the desk. He gently moved the inkstone on the table and a secret passage appeared on the wall of the bedroom.
Duan Ziming followed Shen Kai into the secret passage and arrived at a secret chamber.
A skeleton floated in the middle of the secret chamber. Although it was dead, it emitted endless power. In fact, Duan Ziming could not even lift his head due to the pressure.
There were more than ten skeletons around the skeleton. All of them were in a kneeling position, facing the skeleton in the middle.
"This is the creator of the Skeleton cultivation technique."
Shen Kai pointed to the skeleton floating in midair and said to Duan Ziming, "Once you start cultivating the Skeleton cultivation technique, there's no turning back.
If you don't succeed, you'll lose your cultivation and become a cripple like me. At worst, you'll die!
Ziming, you've got to think it through! "
"Master, I've already thought it through."
Duan Ziming did not hesitate at all. He looked up at Shen Kai and said resolutely, "I'm willing to cultivate the Skeleton cultivation technique."
For cultivators, becoming a cripple was worse than death.
As the Holy Son of Ba Mountain Fist Sect, Duan Ziming had been doted on since he was young. He was even more proud – how could he endure such humiliation?
The only reason why he survived was for revenge!
If he could not kill Lin Xiao with his own hands, there was no difference whether he lived or died, whether he had a cultivation or not!
"Since that's the case, you can cultivate here from today onwards!"
Shen Kai sighed and looked at Duan Ziming before continuing, "If you master the cultivation technique, even a Conjoint Body expert will not be a match for you. But if you fail …"
"Don't worry, master. I'll definitely succeed!"
Duan Ziming interrupted Shen Kai and said resolutely.
When Shen Kai heard that, he knew that it was useless to say anything more. He already knew that he would face such a situation from the moment he let Duan Ziming into the room.
He sighed softly and left the secret chamber.
…
At the same time, Lin Xiao was eating and drinking at County Governor Residence.
"Deputy County Governor, the Holy Son of Holy Palace requests an audience."
Right then, a guard of County Governor Residence walked forward and reported respectfully.
Chen Ou?
Why did he suddenly come to the County Governor's Mansion?
With no time to think, Lin Xiao swallowed the meat in his mouth and said to the guard, "I know. Bring him here."
"Yes."
The guards were ordered to bring Chen Ou over.
Having not seen Chen Ou for a long time, Lin Xiao went up and gave him a bear hug. Then, he raised his right hand slightly and hit Chen Ou on the chest. "Fatty, why are you here?
Are you here to drink with me because you know I'm bored alone? "
"You are now the Deputy County Governor. Are you afraid that no one will drink?"
Chen Ou smiled and shook his head. He said helplessly, "I heard that Chu Xiu sent someone to invite you into the Prefectural Governor's Mansion and you didn't come out for seven days. I was worried that something might have happened to you so I rushed over. However, I heard that you have become the Deputy Prefectural Governor of Jiangchu County. What is going on?"
"I refined an Earth Grade Detoxification Pill for his father. In order to thank me, his father gave me the position of Deputy Prefectural Governor." Lin Xiao shrugged and said casually.
However, Lin Xiao was still very touched that Chen Ou came to the Prefectural Governor's Mansion because he was worried about his safety.
He did not befriend this brother for nothing!
"F * ck!"
When Chen Ou heard Lin Xiao's words, his eyeballs almost fell out. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Are you serious?
Brother, you are already an Earth Grade Alchemist?
No wonder even Chu Tiannan wants to curry favor with you. I've really picked up a treasure! "
"Go away. Who said you picked up a treasure?"
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and pulled Chen Ou to sit down. He said, "Alright, let's not talk nonsense. Drink with me!"
"Wait!"
Chen Ou followed Lin Xiao and sat down. He stopped smiling and said with a serious expression, "There is something I have to tell you."
"What's so serious?"
Lin Xiao could not help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.
He knew Chen Ou's temperament. If it could make him show such a serious expression, it was definitely not a simple matter.
"The Corpse God Sect knows that you killed their Branch Leader, Chu Han. They have sent several Body Integration Realm experts from their headquarters. I'm afraid they are coming for you!"
Chen Ou frowned and said worriedly, "Although you are now the Deputy Prefectural Governor of Jiangchu County and the Corpse God Sect has to give you some face, you have offended them time and time again. I'm afraid they will not let you go so easily."
Several Body Integration Realm experts?
Was the Corpse God Sect that powerful?
Lin Xiao could not help but curl his lips and ask, "What is the background of the Corpse God Sect? How can they send several Body Integration Realm experts at once?"
"The Corpse God Sect is a major force in the Northern Wu Country. Even in the Imperial City, not many sects dare to offend them."
Chen Ou's expression was a little serious. He frowned and said, "That's why you have to be more careful. Although you are now the Deputy Prefectural Governor and they won't dare to touch you openly, they will definitely not let you go in secret!"
Because of what happened in the Ancient Mystery Realm, the Holy Palace was implicated.
If it were not for the reclusive elders, the Holy Palace would have been trampled by the Corpse God Sect's anger. Moreover, he had only fought with Duan Huo and Duan Yan in the Ancient Mystery Realm. What kind of anger would Lin Xiao have to face when he killed someone?
Moreover, Lin Xiao had also killed the Branch Leader of the Corpse God Sect!
"Alright, I know what I'm doing."
Looking at Chen Ou's worried look, Lin Xiao reached out and patted him on the shoulder. He said with a smile, "Don't look so sad. I'll deal with it when the time comes!
I don't believe that the Corpse God Sect can do anything to me! "
"Don't be so stubborn!"
Chen Ou looked at Lin Xiao's sloppy look and couldn't help but become even more anxious, "Do you know how strong a Conjoint Body Realm expert is?
Even a hundred peak Spirit Severing Stage experts aren't enough!
Moreover, the Corpse God Sect sent a total of ten Conjoint Body Realm experts this time! "
"Have you fought with them?"
Seeing how detailed Chen Ou was, Lin Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and ask, "Did the incident in the Ancient Mystery Realm implicate the Holy Palace?"
"What are you talking about!
If it weren't for helping me, why would you fight with Duan Huo and Duan Yan?
In the end, I'm the one who harmed you. "
When Chen Ou heard Lin Xiao's words, he looked at him apologetically and said, "If you really can't do it, you can hide in the Holy Palace for a while!"
"Am I that kind of person?"
Lin Xiao pursed his lips and said seriously, "You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever!
Although the Corpse God Sect is very strong, they're not as weak as you think. "
The Corpse God Sect had sent ten Conjoint Body Realm experts, and he had three Conjoint Body Realm experts under him. In addition, the Nine Grades Hall owed him a favor, so he might not be afraid of the Corpse God Sect!
