Black clouds loomed over the mountain in a majestic manner!
The sound of the corpse bell echoed across the Night-Day Peak. Even the Dawn-Dusk Peak could hear it. A large number of corpses surrounded the shrine. Some wore rotting robes while others had iron armor draped over their shoulders. Some even had half of their bodies rotting away.
Amidst the battle corpses, a few purple-robed corpse controllers walked out in a line. The men were handsome and the women were pretty. Their bodies contained the baleful aura of powerhouses, as well as a gloomy and frightening chill.
The snowflakes didn't even fall on their robes before they were blocked by a faint layer of purple light and slid to the side.
Qin Tian and Luo Hong were among them, standing at the very back.
Although they were also Earthrank disciples, their cultivation was at the very bottom, so they could only stand at the back.
Luo Hong was grievously wounded, but after swallowing a second-ranked spirit pill, his external wounds were completely healed. He glared fiercely at the shrine.
"Rawrr!"
A bestial roar resounded!
A large scaled insect flapped its thirty-meter-long wings and flew down from the clouds, causing snow to flutter in the air.
A purple-clothed man stood on the back of the Qilin Tiger. The left half of his hair was white, while the right half was black. He had a high nose bridge and deep eyes. He swooped down and floated down, landing on the snowy ground like a leaf.
He was Chu Jibei, a Heaven-Ranked disciple from the Violetsea Cave!
As soon as Chu Jibei arrived, the purple-robed disciples all bowed respectfully and opened up a path for him to walk to the front.
"What's going on?" Chu Jibei slightly glanced at the shrine with his sharp brows.
Two halves of a corpse lay in front of the shrine. It was Yao Jingyue's body, severed at the waist and frozen by the snow.
Luo Hong came forward and said: "It's the demon's son, Feiyun. He must've eaten a leopard's guts to kill Senior Brother Yao and nearly twenty of our junior brothers. Their corpses are all gone."
The eyes of the other four Earthrank disciples turned cold. He actually dared to kill disciples from the Violetsea Cave? He truly didn't know how to write the word "death".
Qin Tian added: "He also destroyed the ice and blood corpses!"
"What?
The demon's son dares to damage our Violetsea Cave's Heaven's Mandate corpses?! "One of the Earthrank disciples angrily shouted with a fierce glint in his eyes.
"Luo Hong, Qin Tian, the two of you are too useless. You can't even take care of a grand achievement God Base like Feng Feiyun. You're shaming our Violetsea Cave."
"We've lost so much face this time. Our Violetsea Cave wants to come back to the cultivation world, how can we be suppressed by the demon's son?"
"Humph, looks like we have to kill this son of the demon and refine him into a corpse slave. Only then can we make an example out of him."
…
These four Earth Cohort disciples were all people with unique skills, and they were the four strongest people below the Heaven Cohort. They were much stronger than the Earth Cohort disciples like Luo Hong and Qin Tian.
Chu Jibei wore a purple robe with a golden belt around his waist. He was eight feet tall and had an extraordinary aura. He shouted towards the shrine: "Feng Feiyun, you killed our disciples and destroyed our corpses. Now you're hiding in this shrine, do you want to be a monk?"
His voice contained a powerful sound wave. It was like a substantial wave of air that surged into the gate of the ancient temple.
Even this shrine seemed to be on the verge of shattering.
"Being a monk is still better than being a thief in your cave!" Feng Feiyun's voice came from inside the shrine.
The shockwave rushed out from the door, and a gale swept up, blowing countless corpses away.
Chu Jibei and the six Earthrank disciples stood still on the snowy ground. One of them shouted: "Feng Feiyun, who are you calling a thief?!"
"Your disciple dares to take liberties with innocent women in broad daylight, yet you still say you're not a thief?
Why are you stepping on my foot?! "
The sound of a sword and palm colliding came from inside the shrine. After a while, it stopped and became silent.
There was someone else inside the shrine besides Feng Feiyun. Moreover, this person was very unhappy with Feng Feiyun's words.
Chu Jibei glared at Qin Tian and Luo Hong. The two immediately lowered their heads in shame, but the murderous intent in their eyes became even stronger.
In the distance, a gigantic tomb was floating above the clouds. It was made from ten thousand pounds of boulders. It was shaped like a small mountain and was floating in the sky.
There were many beautiful corpses on top of it. All of them were supreme beauties. Some of them were extremely beautiful from several hundred years ago. They risked their lives for their beauty and were assassinated. Their corpses were stolen and refined into beautiful corpses.
Their faces were pale and they wore colorful palace dresses. They stood stiffly on top of the tombs. There were at least seventy of them.
There was a tombstone on top of the ancient grave. On the tombstone, there were four big words engraved: "Yin Void Corpse Cave".
Yao Ji elegantly stood on top of the tombstone while wearing a corpse controller robe. He was holding a strand of his hair while smiling at the peak as if he was watching a good show.
"The Violetsea Corpse Cave has lost a lot of face this time. They acted as if they were the number one sect in the Northern Frontier Prefecture, but they lost twice in a row right after arriving at Trinity." A girl with a ponytail among the corpses smiled.
"Chu Jibei and the six Earthrank disciples from the Violetsea Cave are here. I'm afraid this demon's son won't be able to escape today." Another girl with a bell-like smile said.
"Chu Jibei's cultivation is enough to be a king among the younger generation of the Northern Frontier Prefecture. He once said that he wanted to challenge the eight older Grand Historical Geniuses. I wonder if he will personally take action this time."
"Senior Sister Yao, should we get involved if necessary?" asked a younger female corpse controller with a smile.
"What's the rush? Let's watch the show first!"
Yao Ji stood at the highest position. Her skin was white and her legs were long and slender like a crane among chickens.
On the other side of the lake was the Dawn-Dusk Peak. At the top was a daoist temple with red walls and green tiles.
"This Feiyun is too much of a troublemaker. He has just offended Senluo Temple and now Violetsea Cave. Does he not want to stop?" Mu Tantian stood at the entrance of the daoist temple. Her eyes shot out a bright ray as she gazed into the distance.
A girl wearing a white daoist robe stood behind the imperial carriage and smiled: "Your Highness, this is great. With the Violetsea Cave taking revenge for you, Feng Feiyun won't be able to leave the shrine alive today."
Princess Luofu's voice came from the carriage: "He only has himself to blame. Only death awaits those who oppose me."
She initially thought highly of Feng Feiyun and wanted to recruit him under her banner, but Feng Feiyun dared to attack her. This prideful royal daughter was truly angry this time.
There were more than one thousand corpses gathered outside of the shrine. The majority were summoned by the Violetsea Cave's disciples using a secret technique. Only a small portion were battle corpses from Northern Frontier.
The biggest difference between battle corpses and corpses was that battle corpses were more frightening with stronger bodies and more natural control.
Chu Jibei naturally knew what kind of people Qin Tian and Luo Hong were, so he didn't punish them at this time. After all, tonight was the lunar eclipse, and there were many cultivators from various forces gathered here. Some of them were from the Northern Frontier Prefecture. These people must be watching from afar to watch a good show.
One wrong move and the Violetsea Cave's prestige would be destroyed.
"How can an outsider like you worry about my sect's matters?
Feng Feiyun, a life for a life is the law of the heavens. Do you want to do it yourself, or do I have to help you? "Chu Jibei fiercely spoke.
"The one with the golden belt, what is your name?"
Feiyun could see the situation outside through the window. It was indeed quite frightening. Corpse clouds covered the sky and blocked his vision. Flags fluttered in the wind, giving off a sense of oppression as if an army was at the gate.
"Chu Jibei!" Chu Jibei calmly answered.
This name was absolutely renowned in the Northern Frontier Prefecture, causing countless cultivators to tremble in fear.
"Never heard of it." Feng Feiyun said.
"You …" Chu Jibei said.
Feng Feiyun had only been in the cultivation world for a short period of time and hadn't even left the Grand Southern Prefecture, so he had never heard of Chu Jibei's name.
Feng Feiyun sat on a stool in the hall while warming his hand above the lamp: "Do you know who is supporting me from behind?"
The cold wind blew in from outside the broken door, causing the flames to dance.
"The Divine King!" Chu Jibei answered.
"That's right, the Divine King!" Feng Feiyun smiled.
Chu Jibei sneered: "If His Excellency were here, I wouldn't dare to act presumptuously in front of him. I wouldn't say a word and would just turn around and leave.
But His Excellency … isn't here? "
"Plus, life and death are up to fate in a fight between the younger generation. His Excellency is a person of virtue and prestige, he wouldn't bully the weak."
Feng Feiyun was still sitting in the hall with an unnatural expression. This Chu Jibei was quite the character. Even the Divine King couldn't scare him away.
A beautiful shadow came to the entrance of the shrine and looked at the corpse army and disciples outside: "This has nothing to do with Feng Feiyun. What's the point of finding a scapegoat instead of a real enemy?
Do you really think you can bully a soft persimmon? "
How could Su Xue not see the situation clearly at this point?
How could she stand behind Feng Feiyun? This was her business and she didn't want anything to do with Feng Feiyun.
The top characters of the Violetsea Cave's younger generation were all here. Even Heaven's Mandate cultivators who had lived for several hundred years would have to retreat in this situation.
Feng Feiyun wanted to stop her, but he was one step too late. She was already standing in front of the shrine, the center of the storm.
"Who are you calling a scapegoat?" Chu Jibei stared at the girl in black in the distance.
Su Xue replied with disdain: "Of course it's Feng Feiyun!"
Chu Jibei asked again: "Who are you calling a soft persimmon?"
Su Xue replied: "Of course it's Feng Feiyun. He's a soft persimmon compared to me."
Chu Jibei was amused: "So you are saying that you are our real enemy?"
"Wrong, all of you are my enemies."
Su Xue's body was as sharp as a sword. She was extremely resentful towards these disciples, especially Qin Tian and Luo Hong. She wanted nothing more than to take a bite out of their flesh.
She wasn't helping Feng Feiyun escape. She truly believed that this was her business and that Feng Feiyun was only a busybody with an ulterior motive. Otherwise, why would he be so kind?
