Chapter 954 - Cuihong Sect

Chapter 954: Cuihong Sect
State Preceptor Fang’s eyes glinted dangerously. He could not hide the strong intent to kill in his eyes. He must not offend a young man like this. But if he did, he had to get rid of the man or else trouble would find him in the future.
If the young man had been a powerhouse in the Primordial Soul Realm, he might have felt a little concerned. After all, powerhouses in the Primordial Soul Realm all had certain factions supporting them. Even if they did not have the support of a powerful faction, they would at least have a few good friends. People like them should not be offended. Killing them in public would only lead to trouble.
However, this young man was different. He already knew that the young man was definitely not from Peng Lai Immortal Realm. As such, there would not be further trouble if he were to kill the young man. There was a saying that only the ferocious tiger would be able to cross the river. This ferocious tiger would not be able to. The young man deserved the misfortune that would befall him, for he dared to be so arrogant in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.
State Preceptor Fang waved his hand emotionlessly. A dark red flag emerged and floated above Lian City. Waves of Yin Qi rolled forth from the flag and surrounded Lian City in an instant.
Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the sinister flag that enveloped Lian City. Waves of threatening aura floated from the flag. The sinister treasure was not something that would be easy to deal with. Mo Wen could sense the majesty that could only belong to someone in the Primordial Soul Realm.
With a single thought, a brilliant strike of thunder flashed from him. The terrifying power of thunder was filled with destructive energy. The air around him twisted and turned. A blinding and magnificent armor of thunder appeared on Mo Wen and protected his entire body. Then, the commander of thunder from the Primeval Age appeared.
The fledging stage esoteric rule for thunder melded with the Glory of Thunder. Mo Wen’s aura immediately doubled. The terrifying power stayed within him and was not expended. His power alone was far beyond that of the Infinite Powerhouse. Only a powerhouse in the Primordial Soul Realm was his match.

The esoteric rule for thunder!

State Preceptor Fang raised his eyebrows. The esoteric rule for thunder was an extreme power that was not easy to understand. Once someone understood it, that person would become shockingly powerful. He did not expect the young man to have understood the esoteric rule for thunder.
However, his esoteric rule of power seemed to be at the fledging stage. The young man had not completely understood the entire esoteric rule. State Preceptor Fang heaved a sigh of relief. If the young man had understood the complete esoteric rule for thunder, State Preceptor Fang might be able to defeat him. However, it was difficult to say if he could kill the young man.
After all, the esoteric rule for thunder was an extremely strong and extremely Yang power. It was the greatest nemesis of all evil demonic powers. The power of his Dark Corpse Flag would definitely be greatly reduced against the esoteric rule for thunder.
Usually, only cultivators in the Primordial Soul Realm would be able to completely understand the esoteric rule for thunder. However, not all cultivators in the Primordial Soul Realm would be able to completely understand it. Some cultivators would still be at the fledging stage of the esoteric rule even if they had broken through the Primordial Soul Realm.
It was evident that the young man was at least at the Primordial Soul Realm. He most likely entered the Primordial Soul Realm not long ago and was not that big of a threat.

How dare you, young man, go against my country. I will destroy you bastard today.

State Preceptor Fang thought that he had a clear grasp of Mo Wen’s limits and immediately felt settled. He was very confident. He held a talisman in his hands. The Dark Corpse Flag floating in the air immediately started to shake vigorously. There seemed to be a dark and deep hole on the surface of the flag. Then, a blood-red coffin slowly slipped out from the hole.
The coffin looked old and simple. There were complicated ruins carved on its surface. A terrifying devilish Qi enveloped the entire Lian City the moment it appeared. Ordinary folks who lived in Lian City immediately felt disoriented. They felt as if they were in hell and that there where ghosts howling and screaming around them. They felt as if they were 18 levels deep in heaven and would never be able to get out of there.

The corpse nourishing coffin!

Mo Wen looked at the blood-red coffin and recognized it immediately. It was the rather famous corpse nourishing coffin from the Hades Path. A zombie could be raised in it. From the aura of the corpse nourishing coffin, one could tell that the zombie inside was a being in the Primordial Soul Realm.

I did not expect you to have such a heretic item in your hands. You have broadened my horizons. You are a cultivator but have learned from those on the heretic path and raised a zombie. Are you not afraid of punishment from Huatian Palace?

Mo Wen asked the question lightly. Raising a zombie was something that those on the heretic path did. The underworld cultivators from the Ghost Lair loved to do things like that.

Huatian Palace has so many bigger things to manage. Why would they care about something so insignificant like this? Furthermore, this Dark Corpse Flag is the national treasure of Fengyu Country. We can trace its origins and have already reported it to Huatian Palace. We don’t have to worry about being punished. You, however, are probably not from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. You have entered the Peng Lai Immortal Realm without approval from Huatian Palace. If Huatian Palace pursues this, you will be in trouble.

State Preceptor Fang laughed coldly and gave Mo Wen a deep, meaningful look. From Mo Wen’s conversation with Hu Hong, the State Preceptor knew that the young man was not from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. He did not even know that he was in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. It was evident that he had not reported this to Huatian Palace. State Preceptor Fang did not know how the young man managed to barge into this place.
Huatian Palace was very strict about controlling who entered the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Under usual circumstances, those without approval from the Huatian Palace would find it hard to enter the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. However, there were always exceptions. There were many secrets hidden in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm that have been passed down from the Ancient Age until today. Even Huatian Palace could not control the Peng Lai Immortal Realm fully.
Legend said that the three great heretic paths controlled the way to enter and leave the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. They could bring people into the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.
If the young man could not prove how he came to the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, State Perceptor Fang could even report the young man to Huatian Palace for liaising with the heretic path and sneaking into the Peng Lai Immortal Realm to engage in illegal activities.

You are smart, but so what?

Mo Wen laughed faintly. He was not surprised that the state preceptor of Fengyu Country could guess that he was not from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. However, he was a member of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall of Huatian Palace. He was not afraid that Huatian Palace would expose him.

I have given you a way out, but you insist on treading the path to death. Perhaps I may even be rewarded by Huatian Palace if I kill you.

State Preceptor Fang’s smile grew colder and colder. He had brought two of Fengyu Country’s biggest national treasures here. It would be easy for him to kill a young man who had just entered the Primordial Soul Realm. What was more important was that he did not have to worry that there might be any trouble waiting for him in the future.
Roar!
The blood-red coffin lid suddenly shot up into the sky. A startling and loud roar exploded in Lian City. The entire city seemed to shake because of the roar. Then, a faint green corpse Qi spread throughout the sky. Clouds swirled and rolled, and it covered half the sky.
A weird creature dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe emerged from the coffin. The creature was two meters tall, and its skin was a bronze-green color. It had a green face and sharp teeth. The dragon robe it wore was brightly colored. Expensive accessories hung over it. It was just a refined corpse, yet it seemed noble and elegant.
Shock flashed through Mo Wen’s eyes. He had seen refined corpses before. But it was the first time he saw a refined corpse in dragon robes. Refined corpses like this one did not have its own mind or intelligence. Its nature was like a beast and was under the control of its master at all times. It was like a cold-blooded puppet.
The master of the refined corpse was really creative to dress a puppet in dragon robes.
State Preceptor Fang, however, looked grave. He bowed respectfully to the refined corpse. Mo Wen did not know that the refined corpse had once been the brave and wise emperor of Fengyu Country. The emperor had cultivated to the Primordial Soul Realm. When he was about to die, he gave up on his opportunity to be reincarnated and made himself into a zombie so he could protect Fengyu Country forever.
That was why it was wearing dragon robes. His status in Fengyu Country was rather special and noble.
…

Demonic Corpse State Master!

In the watchtower, the generals and officials of Xiping Country exclaimed as they watched the zombie. As Xiping Country was the neighbor of Fengyu Country, they knew very well where the Demonic Corpse State Master came from. The name
Demonic Corpse State Master
had come later. It was a show of respect for the past state master of Fengyu Country.

The Demonic Corpse State Master is a dangerous thing in the Primordial State Realm. Its power is unparalleled. State Preceptor Fang is a powerhouse in the Primordial Soul Realm and has been known throughout Donghe Prefecture since a hundred years ago. Can that young man really defeat the both of them?

The generals and officials of Xiping Country were all worried. No matter how they looked at it, Fengyu Country had the upper hand. The Demonic Corpse State Master and State Preceptor Fang were renowned figures. However, the young man seemed too young. It did not give those from Xiping Country much sense of safety.
Just as the generals and officials of Xiping Country were feeling uneasy, a gentle voice suddenly sounded.

Don’t worry, Fang Zhengxiang is a state preceptor, after all. Even if the young man was defeated, he would not strike at you guys. The battle between those in the Primordial Soul Realm will not affect ordinary wars between countries. This line in the treaty is still effective.

The figure of an elder appeared on the watchtower at a time unknown to others. The elder appeared suddenly in the crowd, but no one noticed until he spoke. That was when everyone reacted in shock.

Senior Huishan!

The generals and officials of Xiping Country were all delighted when they saw the elder. It was as if they saw a pillar of support. Their faces glowed, and the worried expressions they wore earlier all dissipated by a great amount.
The elder was called Zhang Huishan. He was the grand elder of Cuihong Sect and also one of the powerhouses in the Primordial State Realm supporting Xiping Country.
A country usually had the support of immortal or warrior sects if they wanted to be established in Donghe Prefecture. The sect that stood behind Xiping Country was the Cuihong Sect. Every Xiping Country state master was the custodial elder of Cuihong Sect. The state master was second only to the grand elder and the sect master.
As the protector of Xiping Country, Senior Huishan’s appearance immediately calmed those from Xiping Country.

Senior Huishan, did you come to Lian City to help that senior?
Xiang Yuanjiu asked respectfully after taking a step forward.
If Senior Huishan was willing to enter the battle, then Xiping Country would definitely be able to turn the tides around. The state master of Fengyu Country had only entered the Primordial Soul Realm a hundred years ago. Meanwhile, Senior Huishan had already been successful several hundred years ago. Legend said that he was already at the middle stages of the Primordial Soul Realm.

Even though I wish to help that righteous man, I cannot interfere with this fight.

Zhang Huishan sighed softly. The treaty between the two countries still existed. If he were to act, then the existence behind Fengyu Country would retaliate. As such, he could not act. The young man’s appearance could only be described as an accident. He did not belong to the two countries and was acting on his own accord. As such, it could not be counted as Xiping Country going against the treaty.
However, this meant that Xiping Country could not help the young man. Things would change if they were to help him.
As such, stopping Fengyu Country depended on that young man alone.
