Chapter 563: Chapter 493: Devil Gate Dark Hall [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

He handed the objects to Kuang Weiping and said, "This is some information about the Bone-Refining Sect, which has been shaking up Chengde’s atmosphere in recent times. It also includes the Sect Master’s Order."

"The Bone-Refining Sect is almost emptied out, and their sect is full of low-level cultivators. You can capitalize on this situation with your inherited abilities, which make you akin to their direct disciples."

Kuang Weiping respectfully accepted the items and saluted the Demon Child Elder once again.

The next moment, the Demon Child Elder waved his hand, and Kuang Weiping turned into a page of a book, experiencing a moment of daze.

······

When Kuang Weiping regained his senses, he was already at the Moon Demon Cliff, not far from where the Corpse Collection Team was.

However, the place looked different than it had three months ago, it had turned into a battlefield ruin.

As the battlefront shifted towards the Wanyu Ordinary, the chaos here lessened.

But due to the past battles, a light blood mist saturated the place, mixed with a heavy pollution. It was a setting neither disciples of the Righteous Path nor the Demonic Sect enjoyed.

Kuang Weiping had little understanding of the Demonic Sect, he could only check the materials given by Wang Zijia, which also included a map of the Bone-Refining Sect.

After looking carefully at the map, he turned his gaze towards the direction of Wanyu - a place where he had spent his whole life. It was a place that gave him endless joy and laughter but also endless remorse and pain after he ended it himself.

During the past three months, he often relived the day’s events in his dreams, where he killed his wife, children, and parents over and over again, where they fell into a pool of blood time and again.

During these sleepless nights, remorse almost engulfed him.

However, he didn’t go mad. On the contrary, and for a reason he couldn’t understand, he found himself becoming more and more calm, and his emotional fluctuations diminished.

After looking at the region behind him and pondering for a long time, he transformed into a black, eerie blood-eye bone crow and plunged into the Demon’s territory.

His Dao cultivation, the sinners’ Demon Qi that he practiced, the identity of being a direct disciple of the Bone-Refining Sect, all decided that it wasn’t difficult for him to blend in.

Of course, this was all relative.

But compared to Wang Zijia infiltrating the Demonic Sect slowly on his own, it was obviously better to send someone like him first to scout the way and anchor the location, and then teleport over.

······

Elsewhere, at the edge of the wilderness.

"Hmm······"

"What’s going on here?"

"Huh····· why did we fall asleep!"

"Right, the demon!!!"

After Kuang Weiping left, the Demon Child Elder woke up the four people lying on the ground with a wave of his hand.

The four people woke up in a daze, mumbling to themselves.

Immediately afterward, they noticed the Demon Child Elder standing nearby. His distinctive purple and white cloud robe was rather conspicuous amidst Chengde.

They had kept quiet up until now, but now that the Demon Suppression Bureau was controlling Chengde, how could its warriors not know about the Wanyu Divine Monarch?!

The four martial artists got a fright and saluted instinctively, "We’ve seen Senior!"

"I was just passing by. The demon has been eradicated. You can leave now," the Demon Child Elder said indifferently.

The four people were shocked again. Just as they were about to say something, the conscientious, honest man, Luo Renjing, suddenly noticed something and immediately said, "Senior, there were five of us in total. We also had a team leader. I don’t know if Senior has seen him?"

"No, he was probably swallowed!" After replying, the Demon Child Elder said, "You should leave this area as soon as possible. The borderlands are not safe for your current level of cultivation."

After he finished speaking, the Demon Child Elder’s figure vanished abruptly.

The four of them were left standing still in a daze.

"How could it be?"

"Our team leader was such a good person, how could he just disappear like that?"

"I can’t believe it. How could the team leader meet his end before we do!"

"······"

The four people didn’t leave. They searched the area, obviously their relationship was quite good.

It was only when it got dark and they found no clues did they reluctantly leave.

At that moment, the look in all their eyes changed.

Even the fifteen-year-old young man, Duanmu Zhizhu, was now dreaming of becoming an immortal!

The heart of seeking the Dao is indeed miraculous. Some people are born with a yearning for it, dreaming of being free and wandering around the world, while others are inspired by various events.

In the end, no matter where they end up, it will be an unforgettable journey of cultivation.

······

Qinghe Mansion, An County.

Due to the Chu Family’s severe lack of manpower, even the Shadows under Wang Zijia’s command were quietly arranged into the Chu Family by Wang Zijia to handle some matters inconvenient to deal with publicly.

These matters included dealing with some of the vassal clans that secretly helped the Murong family while pretending to be neutral, but didn’t leave any glaring evidence.

Jiang Mingda from today wasn’t busy as usual, but was anxiously waiting in his own courtyard.

After waiting for what felt like an eternity, his body suddenly tightened, and a familiar, old figure abruptly materialized beside him.

"Greetings, Demonic Child Hall Master!" Upon the arrival of the Demon Child Elder, he immediately performed a formal greeting.

His demeanor was slightly tense because he was unsure of why the Demonic Child had summoned him today!

The Demon Child Elder did not speak, only silently observing the other party.

Jiang Mingda, who received no response, dared not stand up and remained bent over, maintaining the respectful posture.

The silence filled the air with a heavy atmosphere.

Name: Jiang Mingda

Cultivation: Late stage of Sacrificial Wine

Dao cultivation: 300 years (2 million/2 million)

Status: Sinister Aura (30,000/50,000), Zombie Origin (190,000/500,000)

Magic Door: Corpse Controlling Spirit Invocation Technique...

Over the past two years, this guy had not only paid off the contribution debt when he was taken as a shadow, but also benefited greatly from continuously collecting corpses, and his cultivation had moved forward again. His state had not deteriorated again, and even improved a little.

So, he had stopped thinking about the risky operation of turning himself into a zombie.

But the progress he had already made became a constraint on his progress.

Although he was a great cultivator at the peak of the Sacrificial Wine, he was pale, rigid in body, and his hair was straw-yellow and sparse; he seemed like a dead man already in the ground.

However, compared with the first time they met two years ago, he had improved quite a bit. At least he had a bit of vitality and didn’t look entirely like a corpse.

"I know what you want, and what you want I can give you now," the Demonic Child, after observing Jiang Mingda for a few moments, opened his mouth to say.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingda quickly looked up, his eyes bright as he fixed his gaze on Wang Zijia.

Someone who, because of his injuries, had halted his cultivation progress, yet dared to try to practice himself into a live zombie, had an unimaginable obsession with cultivation longevity!

On some level, this could be considered a validation of his Taoist heart, except that this Taoist heart grew a little skewed!

"What does Hall Master need me to do?" Jiang Mingda almost instantly responded and asked in kind.

"Go to the Demonic Sect, and establish a hall entrance! I will arrange your identity for you. With your left-path Control Corpses you cultivate, as well as your current state, it should not be hard for you to assimilate in there," Demonic Child did not beat around the bush as he said directly.

Jiang Mingda paused slightly at the words that were either a compliment or a reprimand.

The Demonic Child, however, ignored him and continued, "Recently, I’ve killed a high-level from the Bone-Refining Demonic Sect of the Demonic Sect. I can use some means to let you replace one of them."

"All you need to do is subtly blend in and then establish a Dark Hall branch for me."

Just as he finished, the Demon Child Elder added, "When I first established this current entrance, gathering you sinners, I was merely at the Perfected Realm; from that time till now, it’s been three years. The Hidden Faction Dark Hall can be said to pose both risks and opportunities!"

"I’ll go!" Before the Demonic Child could say more, Jiang Mingda, who had already reacted, accepted the task outright.

His words were concise and decisive, without the slightest hesitation or doubt!

"Very good!"

The Demonic Child lightly touched the void. There was already a shadow charm summons within Jiang Mingda’s body needing only a slight adjustment. They let a flesh and blood puppet worth one value degree replace the previously embedded Heart Illusion Charm Summon.

In a flash, Jiang Mingda felt the change in his charm summon.

He realized there was an additional purification function, plus a special contact person: Demon Blade!

While Jiang Mingda was in a daze, the Demonic Child moved out a corpse and a peculiar Elixir pill, he threw them to Jiang Mingda and said, "Start!"

Jiang Mingda looked at the items in front of him, puzzled, he said "Disciple is dull, what do you mean, Hall Master?"

"Aren’t you pining your hopes on breaking through to the Perfected Realm? This Elixir Pill is refined from special Hundred Refining Spirit Objects, and this corpse is of True Demon Dao level; combined, they’re enough for you to step into the Perfected Realm!" the Demonic Child stated indifferently.

The difference of Corpse Control and Beast Control from traditional paths is that they require a Perfected Realm-level pet in advance to ascend to the Perfected Realm.

To procure such resources at the Sacrificial Wine level is no easy task. After all, the corpses must be intact, of the kind that hasn’t had any power drained from them.

But the advantage is that once you have these materials, breaking through becomes much simpler, even reducing the need for Spirit Items by more than half, which is to say, less value is required.

Because the Sacrifice-refined Life Companion, Life-destined Zombie, will in some way become part of his True Seed!

"Now?" Jiang Mingda asked in surprise, "Here?"

"Or do you want me to find you a Fengshui treasure land?" the Demonic Child replied indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingda’s lips moved a few times as if he thought it was too hasty and wanted to say something. In the end, however, he didn’t say a word.

He silently meditated in front of the corpse. In the room, three zombies that he had refined for more than a hundred years emerged from the room. He drew out all their origins and continuously injected them into the Perfected Realm corpse in front of him.

Gradually, a new and powerful zombie was slowly born.

During this process, the zombie actually grew three somewhat deformed heads, and a dull, sticky corpse stench fluid flowed out. The stench was overpowering, coupled with its corrosive and infectious severe poison, it was utterly disgusting!

As for Demonic Child, all he could do was speechless!

With this appearance, it’s hard for anyone to believe you when you say you’re not a demon cultivator!

Well, you could probably blame Wang Zijia for causing this.

After all, Jiang Mingda was forming his token from the orthodox Corpse Control Method of his sect, it wouldn’t normally turn out like this. But anything non-orthodox that became entangled with Wang Zijia’s magic power would turn out abnormal!

This was a domineering effect, so much so that Jiang Mingda’s Life-destined zombie went through such drastic changes.

This was not a disadvantage, but rather advantageous. Apart from looking ugly, the freakish corpse poison and the three heads were all advantages!
