Chapter 1245 1204: Earth Corpse and Yin River

The Earth Corpse and the Corpse Soldier are similar, both being creatures that neither eat nor drink, but they differ because the Earth Corpse is alive, whereas the Corpse Soldier is not. If an Earth Corpse has good fortune and the opportunity arises, it might entomb itself for centuries and come back to life... just like now.

Typically, the emergence of the Yin River signifies that a powerful Earth Corpse is nearing the completion of its resurrection plan.

Given the scale of this Hundred-Mile Milky Way, if the resurrection succeeds, at the very least, it would be a Great Heaven Rank True Monarch Realm entity. It wouldn't be surprising if it devours those in the Half-Step Yuan Pill and Minor Heavenly True Monarch Realm.

"Earth Corpse? What is that?" Luo Mang and Long Yi frowned. Compared to Chen Fei, their knowledge was too shallow, so they didn't even know what Earth Corpse or Yin River was.

"One last question. Some say there's Tianyi Dragon Bamboo in the tomb, is that true?" Chen Fei shook his head and said.

"Tianyi Dragon Bamboo?" Luo Mang frowned and said, "There seems to be such news. Jianng Wanli, the Pill King, was refining an ancient treasure pill, for which Tianyi Dragon Bamboo was the main raw material. He searched for nearly ten years before settling in that tomb... So, this news should be true, right?"

"If the news is true, that's good." Chen Fei muttered and nodded; he wasn't afraid of any Jianng Wanli, the Pill King, or even the nearly resurrected Earth Corpse big shot in that tomb. He only feared that the news was false, and all his efforts would have been in vain...

"Go find someone who can talk; I have a business deal to make with you." Then Chen Fei threw out this remark and closed his eyes without speaking. Luo Mang and Long Yi were stunned, exchanged a glance, and left without saying another word.

The next day, still in the VIP room on the top floor of the Evergreen Tower, the big shots from Qi Family Fort and Nine Nether Palace had already seated themselves, quietly awaiting Chen Fei's arrival.

At this moment, Long Yi stood on the left side of the room. In front of him was a majestic and imposing middle-aged man in his forties, exuding a domineering aura. Beside him lay a crested spear, incredibly sharp and impossible to look at directly.

If someone from Earth Martial City's ever-knowledgeable were here, they would undoubtedly be shocked, exclaiming, astounded: "Li Pangbo with the Destroyer Crested Spear!?"

Li Pangbo with the Destroyer Crested Spear, a True Monarch Realm figure from Qi Family Fort, of the Minor Heavenly Position level, once the pinnacle figure of the younger generation of this Earth Martial City in previous generations! Second only to Gu Qing, who died in the Hundred-Mile Yin River.

In the current public perception and image, this generation of young people in Earth Martial City is nowhere near as formidable as their predecessors! But Li Pangbo with the Destroyer Crested Spear was the second person back then, which is indeed a remarkable achievement.

As for how formidable and strong he is now, no one knows. But if Gu Qing of the Eternal Temple hadn't died, even a peak-level Minor Heavenly True Monarch Realm figure would have had to step aside! Thus, one can speculate.

This Li Pangbo with the Destroyer Crested Spear is no less formidable than Gu Qing.

At this moment, he took a few heavy gulps from the wine jug in front of him and slammed it down on the table. He looked up at the elderly man directly in front of him and frowned, asking, "Old Jiang Zuo, do you really believe what that kid said?"

The elderly man directly in front of Li Pangbo, draped in a black robe, his figure small and shriveled, with black, wrinkled, and rutted skin, but on his presence, there was a faint intense aura like that of a fierce beast! At this time, Luo Mang stood behind him but hadn't even taken a seat.

No one remembers this person's original surname, just his name is Jiang Zuo. Later, after becoming a True Monarch Realm, he was known as True Lord Jianngzuo until now. This person is equally not simple, even older than Li Pangbo with the Destroyer Crested Spear by one era. He is decisive, ruthless, infamous, and a genuine peak-level Minor Heavenly True Monarch Realm individual.

Li Pangbo with the Destroyer Crested Spear of Qi Family Fort!

True Lord Jianngzuo of Nine Nether Palace!

The fact that these two forces could send such significant figures from their ranks shows their incredible attention to Chen Fei.

Only to see True Lord Jianngzuo slightly lifting his eyes lazily and saying, "Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it!" Li Pangbo said without hesitation. What level and status are Qi Family Fort and Nine Nether Palace? Even they are unsure about the weirdness; what makes that kid know?

In any case, he really doesn't believe it!

"If you don't believe it, why did you come?" True Lord Jianngzuo smirked and said lightly.

"I..." Li Pangbo almost choked himself with his breath, stunned for a long time, before seeing him speak disgruntledly, "Old Jiang Zuo, you are always the most ingenious and cunning. Don't tell me you really believe that kid's nonsense?"

"Nonsense!" True Lord Jianngzuo couldn't help cursing, saying disgruntledly, "What do you mean cunning? I'm just resourceful! Forget it; it's hard to explain to a brute like you, with your wooden head... ah."

He shook his head, causing Li Pangbo to blush slightly, and said, "I know I'm not as clever as you, but if you keep insulting me like this, I might just turn against you!"

Admittedly, his mind wasn't sharp, or else he wouldn't have been overshadowed by Gu Qing of the Eternal Temple back then and even now.

But on the flip side, the fact that this single-minded guy reached this point through sheer strength without using his brain is already a fearsome achievement. Normal people absolutely cannot do it.

Hearing this, True Lord Jianngzuo rolled his eyes, speechless for a long time, before suddenly saying, "Last night, we urgently contacted the Inner Region and bought some news from the Hundred Knowledge Palace. Do you know what we got?"

"What?" Li Pangbo asked.

"We provided accurate information, it was that kid who talked about the Earth Corpse, Yin River. As a result, just for the former, the Hundred Knowledge Palace required us three million Low Grade Spirit Stones for the specific information about the Earth Corpse. As for the latter, the information about the Yin River is even more astounding, not to be exchanged for anything less than two Golden Level Magical Treasures."

True Lord Jianngzuo said slowly.

Hearing this, both Li Pangbo and those behind him, Long Yi and Luo Mang, had their expressions change drastically, greatly surprised. The Hundred Knowledge Palace was known to them all, it was a superpower that transcended national boundaries! It spanned across countries and even extended into the Three Imperial Domains! Therefore, whether it was the Wang Clan of the Qiannan Ancient Kingdom, or the five major powers of the latter half, none dared provoke the Hundred Knowledge Palace.

However, the Hundred Knowledge Palace is also considered low-key. They didn't take root in the Qiannan Ancient Kingdom for anything else but one purpose, to do business! It's said that the Hundred Knowledge Palace rose to power through trade, trading information... As long as it's information about information, no matter what, regardless of the region, they do it.

Yet even so, just for a single piece of information, the Hundred Knowledge Palace asked Nine Nether Palace for three million Low Grade Spirit Stones, and not only that, they demanded two Golden Level Magical Treasures for the specific information about the Yin River!

"He said it's true? Could it be that he knows everything?"

Luo Mang's eyes narrowed, glinting as he spoke.

Hearing Luo Mang's muttering, Li Pangbo was momentarily stunned and fell silent, saying nothing.

Although he wasn't very bright, he had one 'advantage', which was that he could heed other people's advice. Luo Mang often interacted with him, and he knew the other party was much quicker-witted, just like that old man Jianngzuo...

So, could it be that what the kid said is true!?

At this moment, the door creaked open, and then they saw Chen Fei gradually walk in.

"Hmm?" As soon as he entered, he noticed Li Pangbo with the Destroyer Crested Spear from Qi Family Fort, and True Lord Jianngzuo of Nine Nether Palace. His eyes narrowed slightly, his heart quivering slightly, two at the Minor Heavenly True Monarch Peak? They do hold him in high regard, don't they?

Then he expressionlessly walked into the room and sat down, then respectfully lifted his hand towards the two, saying.

"This junior Chen Fei, greets the two seniors."

"Hmm." The two nodded simultaneously. Li Pangbo glanced at True Lord Jianngzuo, the latter squinted slightly, then shook his head, going straight to the point, saying: "Luo Mang said you want to make a deal with us? I wonder, what kind of deal?"

"Hmm." Seeing the other party going straight to the point, Chen Fei also stopped beating around the bush, saying: "Do you two know about the Earth Corpse and the Yin River?"

"I know about the Earth Corpse. Our Nine Nether Palace bought the information from the Hundred Knowledge Palace last night..." True Lord Jianngzuo nodded and said: "The Earth Corpse, possessing life, if it encounters a certain opportunity, it can even be reborn and live another lifetime? Is that right?"

"Hundred Knowledge Palace? Is there a Hundred Knowledge Palace in the Qiannan Ancient Kingdom too?" Chen Fei was momentarily stunned, not expecting that the Hundred Knowledge Palace from the Immortal Country of Myriad Gods had come to this Qiannan Ancient Kingdom? As expected of those in the business, they are everywhere, from the ends of the earth to the corners of the ocean!

"What? You don't know about the Hundred Knowledge Palace?" True Lord Jianngzuo was slightly taken aback as well. Then he saw him ask again: "We only bought the information about the Earth Corpse, the Yin River was too expensive, we didn't buy it. Little friend, do you know what the Yin River actually is?"

"Didn't the senior say before? If the Earth Corpse encounters a chance, buries itself, and gets lucky, it can live another life! Of course, the probability is very low, very low, but if it's about to succeed, this Yin River will appear, it's like a sign! There should be some old monster who buried itself for hundreds of years in that tomb, wanting to revive."

Chen Fei lowered his eyes and said indifferently.

"Swoosh!"

"What!?"

"Are you sure?!"

The table and chairs were instantly overturned, scattered, Li Pangbo and True Lord Jianngzuo both stood up! Their expressions shook as they stared at Chen Fei.

The Earth Corpse could revive. At first, they didn't have much of a tangible feeling, it was just an ancient story, a legend, with such a mindset, naturally, they wouldn't think anything of it! But now, it's different.

Chen Fei said there was someone in the tomb about to revive? That's revival! Even if it's not certain, just the slightest hope is enough to make them excited, extremely excited.

Because, to put it bluntly, powerful families like them which have been around for hundreds of years, do not have a few living dead bodies? Don't these people want to gamble once more, survive!? Surely they do! No doubt about it.

No one wants to die, the longer someone has lived, the more powerful those old monsters want to be called old undying! Why? Because they're not dead!

Power, wealth, status, women... being alive is what makes these possible! If you're dead, you're just a pile of bones, nothing left.

Originally, they didn't know this path, close to death, then indeed they were close to death! Finding a place to bury themselves lonely until they die of old age, or have a quick end, just go... But now, they know there is a new path.

A new path that could possibly lead to another lifetime!

In light of this, who could remain calm!?
