figure was hidden, swiftly pursuing with incredible speed.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!The newcomer appeared to be just a frail woman, her expression hinting at an...“I wouldn't say I understand. I did come across the three words 'Tian Shi Zong' in an ancient book once. That book also spoke vaguely about Tian Shi Zong, only writing a general outline.”

Baiyunshan briefly summarized the original text and explained, “The Tian Shi Zong was a demonic sect from a long time ago. It wasn't one of the major demon sects, only somewhat famous at the time. The disciples were skilled in refining corpses, and their method was very unique; they didn't use yin energy but instead drew upon earthsha qi. The corpses they refined had bodies stronger than those from other corpse refinement techniques. Therefore, Tian Shi Zong had many branch halls set up in places with concentrated earthsha qi for disciples to refine corpses. Later on, for some unknown reason, it disappeared without a trace, and along with it, the corpse refinement technique was also lost. I originally took it as a story, but seeing these unique Sha corpses and Xuan Tie Ling, I realize what the ancient texts say is true. It seems that the Tian Shi Zong probably angered powerful enemies. They not only had their lineage cut off, but their base of operations was sealed shut as well.”

Upon hearing the story of the Heaven Corpse Sect, Qin Sang suddenly realized and lowered his head to look at the ashes on the ground, muttering to himself, "No wonder there are such strange corpse spirits. He asked, "White Cloud Daoist friend, is this place a branch or main altar of the Heaven Corpse Sect Could there be any corpse refinement practitioners comparable to Flying Sky Asuras inside"

Baiyunshan shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be the main altar, otherwise there wouldn't be so many low-powered zombies outside. The book says that the Sect Master of Tianshizong at that time was only a Jindan cultivator. The branches have always been managed by cultivators in the Qi Refining period, so at most there are more powerful Shashen corpses behind, it is impossible to have Flying Night Demons."

Upon hearing this, the tension in everyone's hearts eased somewhat.

Corpses are ultimately dead objects. Even if a powerful Corpse Puppet is controlled by a cultivator, its strength is still limited. With so many of them here, even if they can't win, escaping should be easy.

But the flying celestial demon was different. It was a powerful corpse refinement comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator. Its corpse poison was fierce, it was proficient in five element escape techniques, appearing and disappearing like a ghost. Even if there were many Foundation Establishment cultivators, they would not be its match.

Wu Yue Sheng frowned, saying with some disappointment, "Just a branch altar There probably aren't any treasures inside. It seems we're going to have made a wasted trip."

Qin Sang glanced at Wu Yue Sheng.

A man from Baitai Mountain said, “Even if there was a treasure trove, it would have been emptied long ago. We were almost swallowed by the evil qi of the earth, and to be safe is already a stroke of luck. Going back and forth is just a waste of time. Qingting Daoist friend and Yu Daoist friend prepared for several years, carefully preparing the formation-breaking magic weapons, they are even less worthy than us.”

After Baiyunshan person said this, everyone seemed less disappointed.

As they spoke, the restriction on the Xuan Tie heavy gate was broken, opening a crack. The four of them made sure there was no ambush behind it before going in one after another.

Upon arriving here, all four of them were taken aback. The spiritual energy here was several times denser than before, comparable to the cave dwellings allotted to disciples in the Qi Refining stage at Shaohua Mountain.

Baiyun Mountain's people and the Liu brothers were considered relatively well-known figures among wandering cultivators. Their caves were even slightly inferior to this place.

"It seems we're nearing the core of Fen Tan. Everyone, be careful," Bai Yunshan reminded them. "Liu Jiang and I will lead the way ahead to prevent any surprise attacks from Corpse Reapers."

Before Wu Yue could speak, Qin Sang preemptively said: "I'll bring up the rear. Brother Wu, you help Bai Yun Daoist look after Liu Daoist. Those cultivators who can have a cave dwelling here are definitely not weak in strength. Corpse refinement is formidable, so two people are safer."

He didn't trust putting his back in Wu Yue Sheng's hands, preferring to shoulder the danger from behind alone.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Wu Yue Sheng did not suspect anything, and agreed.

After deciding on their formation, the four set off. The stone path was narrow; Bai Yunshan and Liu Jiang walked in the front, Wu Yue Sheng slightly behind them, the two protecting Liu Jiang one after the other, while Qin Sang lagged behind as the rear guard.

Under Wu Yue's insistence, they slowed down and carefully checked each stone chamber they encountered. It seemed that the number of cultivators qualified to open a cave dwelling here was limited, as there weren't many stone chambers, and they didn't waste too much time.

>

To their surprise, they didn't encounter a single corpse on the road.

The stone path grew increasingly steeper, and they found nothing along the way. Wu Yue was starting to get impatient and asked, "Daoist Liu, how come we haven't found anyone else Can you really sense their locations"

Liu Jiang didn't dare to retort and could only explain in a low voice.

Baichunshan's man helped to mediate, "Daoist Wu, rest assured, I can vouch for them. The brothers truly do have a psychic connection, and as their cultivation improves, this bond will only grow stronger. It seems the terrain here is complex, and..."

Mid-sentence, Baiyunshan man paused, suddenly raising his head to look into the depths of the stone path. His brow furrowed tightly. Just as the others were secretly astonished, they saw Baiyunshan's expression change drastically and he suddenly roared out in anger.

"Be careful!"

Before the words could fade away, a dark figure appeared out of nowhere in front of the crowd. It vanished in a flash, its speed astonishingly fast. They couldn't even make out the other person's appearance, only a vague glimpse of a black shadow streaking towards the Baiyunshan people.

At the crucial moment, Baiyunshan's man hurriedly raised the cloth bag magic artifact called Kuntian Dou to shield himself. In the next instant, a ghostly claw materialized out of thin air and slammed onto Kuntian Dou.

'Bang!'

The sky-defying hammer protected him in time, and although the people of Baiyun Mountain were unharmed, they were easily pushed back by the tremendous force, crashing against the rock wall and letting out a muffled groan.

Seeing this, Qin Sang was greatly alarmed and hurriedly urged the Five Elements Breaking Sword to turn around. Immediately, he heard Liu Jiang's scream from the front. He saw Liu Jiang's whole body strangely float up, and with a 'whoosh', he disappeared into the depths of the stone path.

At a fleeting glance, Qin Sang saw a ghostly face emerge from Liu Jiang's shoulder, staring at them with what seemed to be a strange smile. The dark shadow clung tightly to Liu Jiang and disappeared with him.

“Skeletal corpse! Quickly go save Daoist Liu!”

The people on Baiyun Mountain could see it most clearly.

When the sudden change occurred, he could only activate the Sky-Binding Cauldron to protect himself, causing Liu Jiang to fall into the hands of the Corpse Demon. He was filled with regret and immediately cried out in anguish, chasing after it relentlessly.

Qin Sang and Wu Yue both glanced at each other, without hesitation, they exerted their full strength with their body techniques, following closely behind.

Although this corpse was very eerie and incredibly fast, instantly snatching Liu Jiang away. They had no choice, the terrestrial evil energy relentlessly pursued them; they couldn't retreat. They had to work together to eliminate the corpse or find a way out ahead.

The Liujang River is unclear whether it's life or death. If something happens to the Baiyunshan people, and only they two remain, the situation will become even more perilous.

Qin Sang chased after the corpse while reminiscing about the just-passed dangerous scene, and was also shocked by the power of this corpse.

Although the previous zombies I encountered were powerful, none were as outrageous as this. Liu Jiang's iron lotus never retracted, and he was still protected by Bai Yunshan and Wu Yue Sheng in front and behind. However, when he was dragged away by the zombie, he had no power to resist at all.

What troubled Qin Sang even more was the eerie smile he saw on the corpse demon's face in its final moments before it vanished.

He saw it clearly, it was definitely not an illusion.ost likely is trapped somewhere in the basin. After this is over, I will need to take it and search for him everywhere...”Qin Sang transmitted his voice back, then mentioned a few words about the prev...
