Chapter 1524: Chapter 1483: Corpse Demon Clan

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan flared up.

"Damn it, who are you calling pointy-mouthed and retracted-chin? You’re just a plain-feathered beast who turned into a human, pfft! Come on! Let me go, let’s see if I won’t finish you off!"

"I’ll kill you first!"

Seeing the atmosphere growing ever tenser, Lu Chuan and Xiao Wu looked ready to fight at any moment. The woman frowned and said coldly, "Xiao Wu, step back!"

"But, sister!"

"I said, step back!"

Under the woman’s gaze, Xiao Wu shrank his neck, ultimately not daring to say another word. He could only glare angrily at Lu Chuan before turning and leaving.

"Come on! If you have the guts, don’t run! Let’s see if I can’t teach you a lesson! I might not be able to take on your sister, but I can’t beat a little brat at the Spirit Splitting Realm?"

Just as Lu Chuan was being arrogant, he suddenly felt something pressing against his neck. He looked down to find it was a Fire Feather.

"If you provoke me again, I won’t hesitate to kill you, human."

"Stop calling me human, my name is Lu Chuan! It seems like you’re the leader of this bird group?"

"We are the Fierce Sun Sparrows, descendants of the Ancient Immortal Beast, the Vermilion Bird. Watch your words."

"None of that matters; what’s important is when you plan to let me go?"

Facing Lu Chuan’s gaze, the woman let out a long breath and threatened, "If you dare to deceive me, I’ll make you pay."

"Don’t worry, every word I say can be verified, and I will prove it to you."

Feeling the ropes binding him finally loosen, Lu Chuan then broke free, regaining his freedom. He quickly swallowed several elixir pills, and his wounds slowly began to heal.

"Return the Demon Suppression Pagoda to me."

The woman clearly still did not fully trust Lu Chuan, but they had been trapped here for far too long and desperately wanted to leave this cage-like world. As the first and only human to appear here in centuries, she could only choose to believe.

Returning the Demon Suppression Pagoda to Lu Chuan, the woman shielded herself with the Fire Feather Sword, vigilantly eyeing Lu Chuan, always on guard for a potential attack from him.

Having reconnected with the Tower Spirit, Lu Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "That’s the situation. Do you think you might want to make an appearance?"

"Lu Chuan, you’re too impulsive. Right now, we can’t be sure how the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan feels about me. If they have any resentment towards me, you might be in danger once I appear."

"In that situation, I had no other choice. You saw it too. If I didn’t say that, would they have let me go?"

Lu Chuan shrugged helplessly and continued, "Anyway, you make an appearance first to prove what I said is true, and I’ll handle the rest."

Given the circumstances, the Tower Spirit could only comply.

Releasing its aura, in just an instant, the woman’s face changed dramatically, staring warily at the Demon Suppression Pagoda in Lu Chuan’s hand, and said in a deep voice, "Enough, I believe you."

This surprised Lu Chuan a bit.

He expected that once the Tower Spirit revealed its aura, the woman might become angry or even attack Lu Chuan, but fear was not something he anticipated.

The Tower Spirit’s intimidation of the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan seemed overly exaggerated, didn’t it?

Even after all these years, it’s still a change of complexion upon hearing it?

"Tower Spirit, what exactly did you do to them back then?"

"How should I know? I’ve always treated the Demon Tribe the same way, never favoring anyone."

Hearing this, Lu Chuan nodded thoughtfully, then exhaled in relief, looking at the woman, and said solemnly, "Now do you believe me? Hurry and take me to where the body is stored. If you anger the Empress, neither of us will have a good outcome!"

"She isn’t dead... How can she not be dead! It’s been over a thousand years! Isn’t that enough? How long do we Fierce Sun Sparrows have to be trapped here before you’re satisfied!"

Seeing the flash of resentment in the woman’s eyes, Lu Chuan felt something was a bit off.

"Lu Chuan, let me ask you, do you know a way to leave this place? Besides retrieving the body, has the Empress given you any other instructions?"

"Of course! The Empress said that since the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan has guarded this place for a thousand years, it is time to let them leave. As long as you cooperate with me to retrieve the body, I can activate the altar for you to leave this place."

At these words, the woman’s eyes immediately lit up, and she eagerly said, "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely, what would be the point in lying to you?"

"Xiao Wu, go retrieve the key immediately!"

The woman put the Fire and Sword into her skirt and respectfully saluted Lu Chuan.

"Fire Ling’er, Clan Leader of the Fierce Sun Sparrows, greets the Empress’s envoy."

Fire Ling’er’s drastic change in attitude surprised Lu Chuan a bit, but he quickly understood.

After all, this matter concerned the freedom of the entire Fierce Sun Sparrow Demon Tribe. If Lu Chuan were in the same position, he would probably act the same way, without a hint of negligence.

Before long, the previously arrogant Xiao Wu returned, respectfully placing a key into Lu Chuan’s hand.

However, from his eyes, it was clear he still harbored resentment towards Lu Chuan, but it was cleverly hidden.

Let it be. As long as they could retrieve Yun Yan’s body, Lu Chuan hoped for no further complications.

"So, when will you take me to where the body is stored?"

"This... may be a bit difficult."

Fire Ling’er suddenly lowered her eyes, a trace of bitterness flashing in them, and said, "The area where the body is stored has been taken over by the Corpse Ghost Clan. They are powerful, and their bodies are undying. We’ve tried to reclaim that area several times, but many of our people died, and in the end, we failed."

Corpse Ghost Clan? What is that?

Lu Chuan frowned, puzzled, "The Corpse Ghost Clan is that strong?"

"Actually... it’s not that they’re strong, just that we don’t know how they did it. They’ve turned the bodies stored in the secret chamber into Corpse Puppets. Those bodies are extremely powerful, some even comparable to Integration Realm experts. That’s why we keep failing."

Hearing this, Yun Yan exploded in anger.

"What did you say! My body has been made into a Corpse Puppet! Those damned corpses!"

Such an outrageous humiliation, how could Yun Yan tolerate or accept it?

"Yun Yan, calm down! Don’t be impulsive; we should find a way to deal with those Corpse Puppets now!"

"How can I not be impulsive! If your body was made into that disgusting puppet, what would you think? No way, I must kill them!"

Yun Yan flashed out from within Lu Chuan, looked coldly at Fire Ling’er, and urgently said, "Take us there right now!"

"But the Corpse Ghost Clan is numerous, and they have Corpse Puppets in charge. A frontal assault to win is far too difficult!"

"I don’t care, take me there now! Otherwise, your Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan can forget about ever leaving this place!"
