Chapter 665 -662: The Celestial Corpse Sect Reappears

However, King Qingcheng started coughing violently before he could finish. The Corpse General, looking at the ground covered in minced flesh, began to tremble uncontrollably.

His opponent had annihilated all of his Corpse Puppets with a mere flick of his finger.

Of course, if his opponent were to flick a finger at him, he would undoubtedly be reduced to another pile of minced flesh.

‘This young man is terrifying!’

The Corpse General was completely consumed by fear.

‘This guy doesn’t play by any rules. He didn’t even say a word—he just slaughtered them all.’

“My Lord, please spare my life! I’m willing to tell you everything I know!”

“The Celestial Corpse Sect has already occupied the Celestial Pearl Country. As for Cyan Moon City, it’s completely overrun with the walking dead.”

“Soon, the Celestial Corpse Sect will conquer the Southern Continent, become the number one evil sect, and restore its former glory.”

“Please, My Lord, spare me! I’m just an insignificant nobody in the Celestial Corpse Sect.”

….

The Corpse General dropped to his knees and began kowtowing, begging for mercy.

“Where is the Celestial Corpse Ancestor?”

Jiang Jichen asked, his expression indifferent.

“The Celestial Corpse Ancestor fought several of the Southern Continent’s Supreme Realm experts all by himself. Both sides suffered heavy losses, so he’s recuperating for now!”

The Corpse General replied.

In truth, Jiang Jichen could have guessed most of this even without the Corpse General’s explanation.

‘Those dozens of Corpse Puppets were obviously people from Cyan Moon City!’

‘But for the Celestial Corpse Ancestor to recover so quickly… that was unexpected.’

Jiang Jichen didn’t dwell on the matter.

His main concern now was that Cyan Moon City was overrun with the walking dead. He had no idea what had become of Xing’Er and the old steward.

Jiang Jichen loathed the Celestial Corpse Sect, and his hatred was filled with murderous intent.

The Celestial Corpse Sect truly embodied a heartless path of cultivation. They would turn any innocent mortal into one of the walking dead.

‘Celestial Corpse Sect… If anything has happened to Xing’Er and the old steward, I will wipe you from existence!’

Jiang Jichen swore silently to himself.

All the while, the Corpse General was still kowtowing and begging for his life.

However, Jiang Jichen showed not a shred of hesitation. He simply raised his finger and pointed.

PFFT!

The Corpse General was killed instantly, but his body did not explode into pieces.

It was, in a way, a dignified death.

Jiang Jichen had no reason to spare any of the Celestial Corpse Sect’s walking dead if he had the chance to kill them.

He was not the merciful type.

Afterward, Jiang Jichen mounted the Heaven-Gazing Crocodile and continued toward Cyan Moon City.

The Heaven-Gazing Crocodile apparently sensed its master’s anxiety and pushed forward at its maximum speed.

Along the way, Jiang Jichen encountered numerous walking dead, all of whom he casually obliterated.

Those who were turned into the walking dead were trapped, their souls unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Destroying their bodies was the only way to free their souls for reincarnation.

The scene was apocalyptic; the only things still walking were the dead.

Soon, Jiang Jichen arrived at Cyan Moon City.

“Who goes there?”

“Trespassers in the Celestial Corpse Sect’s Cyan Moon City will die!”

Jiang Jichen had just appeared before the city gates when two voices called out in succession.

Hearing this, a cold, meaningful smile spread across Jiang Jichen’s face.

‘The Celestial Corpse Sect’s Cyan Moon City?’

“Heh… I don’t recall Cyan Moon City of the Celestial Pearl Country ever belonging to the Celestial Corpse Sect!”

Jiang Jichen said coldly.

Then he ordered the Heaven-Gazing Crocodile, “Charge straight ahead and don’t stop. Go to the location I direct you to!”

The place Jiang Jichen indicated was, of course, the Jiang Mansion.

Upon receiving its orders, the Heaven-Gazing Crocodile charged forward without pause.

BOOM!

The gates of Cyan Moon City exploded into splinters, and the Corpse Commander who had just shouted was instantly smashed to pieces.

Hundreds of Corpse Puppets were also sent flying, torn to pieces.

The Heaven-Gazing Crocodile carried Jiang Jichen, charging straight ahead.

Upon entering the city, Jiang Jichen’s expression turned livid.

The city was teeming with the walking dead, wandering through the streets and alleys.

Hearing the commotion, they now swarmed toward Jiang Jichen.

The Heaven-Gazing Crocodile snorted coldly, continuing its charge without stopping.

Anything that blocked its path was trampled and destroyed.

As they forged ahead, they saw that the city was filled with walking dead, all controlled by various Corpse Commanders.

Jiang Jichen’s arrival had obviously alerted the Celestial Corpse Sect.

After all, the Heaven-Gazing Crocodile’s rampage had caused far too much of a commotion.

Groups of Corpse Commanders led squads of Corpse Puppets to intercept them, but they were no match for the Heaven-Gazing Crocodile’s speed and were utterly unable to stop it.

Soon, the Heaven-Gazing Crocodile arrived at the Jiang Mansion with Jiang Jichen.

However, what greeted him was the sight of the dilapidated Jiang Mansion, which bore the marks of a fierce battle.

A few of the walking dead were still wandering around the perimeter.

Jiang Jichen recognized them as disciples of the Jiang Mansion.

They were all Low Level disciples of the Jiang Mansion; Jiang Jichen could tell from their attire.

He cut down every one he saw, helping their souls pass on to be reincarnated.

He swept through the entire Jiang Mansion but found no trace of Xing’Er, the old steward, or anyone else.

Of course, he couldn’t sense the aura of a single living person, either.

Jiang Jichen frowned, fully releasing his Seven-Colored Divine Thought to envelop the entirety of Cyan Moon City.

‘The Imperial Palace!’

Jiang Jichen’s Divine Thought had located the only place in Cyan Moon City that still held living people: the Imperial Palace of the Celestial Pearl Country.

「At the same time, at the Imperial Palace of the Celestial Pearl Country」

The area was surrounded by a dense horde of the walking dead!

Within the Celestial Corpse Sect, Corpse Puppets are the lowest rank, commanded by Corpse Commanders. The Corpse Commanders are led by Corpse Generals, and the Corpse Generals are commanded by Corpse Kings.

Outside the Imperial Palace, there were over ten thousand Corpse Commanders, more than a hundred Corpse Generals, and three General Kings!

But all these Corpse Commanders, Corpse Generals, and Corpse Kings answered to only one person.

That was the only Corpse Saint present.

He was a young Corpse Saint, dressed in white with an elegant demeanor. One could hardly tell he was any different from a living person.

A being who had reached the level of a Corpse Saint was terrifyingly powerful.

Even a mere Tier One Corpse Saint could slaughter a Human Race Cultivator at the Saint Second Realm.

What’s more, he could also refine Saint-level Corpse Puppets.

For example, standing behind the Corpse Saint was a Saint-level Corpse Puppet that emanated the terrifying aura of the Holy Dao.

A Corpse King standing beside the Corpse Saint spoke coldly, “We gave you one double-hour to consider. That time is now up. If you still refuse to surrender, then the only thing left for us to do is slaughter you all!”

On a platform in the Imperial Palace, a group of Human Race Cultivators stood their ground.

If Jiang Jichen had been there, he would have recognized some of them.

There was the Jiang Family’s Second Elder, Jiang Qingyun. His old injuries were completely healed, and he had grown incredibly powerful.

Also present were Third Elder Jiang Qingsong and Fourth Elder Jiang Qinghe.

There were also experts from the great families of Cyan Moon City, such as the Huang, Xiao, Murong, and Ouyang.

But at the head of the group stood three figures.

Grand Chancellor Lü of the Celestial Pearl Country, the Third Prince of Cyan Moon City, and the Old Emperor of the Celestial Pearl Country!

Princess Qing Ling was standing right beside the Third Prince.

The Third Prince’s face was pale and his aura was unstable; he had clearly been seriously injured.

He needed Princess Qing Ling to support him just to remain standing.

Princess Qing Ling was just as she had always been.

Dressed in a green gown, with eyes like limpid pools and her beautiful hair fluttering in the wind, she possessed a quiet, delicate beauty that inspired a feeling of protectiveness in others.

But now, her lovely face was etched with worry.

“Hmph! Human Race Cultivators would rather die than submit! How could we possibly surrender to a horde of creatures that are neither dead nor alive?”

“This Prince would rather die in battle than… COUGH…”

Before he could finish, King Qingcheng was already coughing uncontrollably.
