Chapter 244: Yin Corpse Tide

A moment later, he frowned and interrupted the discussion.

“Alliance Leader Jiang, not long ago, Shu Mountain received a distress message from the Mu family cultivators. It seems that the situation is urgent. Shu Mountain hopes that the Great Mountain Alliance can decide whether to go and rescue them.”

The higher-ups present felt uncomfortable hearing the name of the Mu family.

Many cultivators immediately revealed looks of disdain and disgust.

They had just finished showing off in the Great Mountain Region. Why did they turn around and ask for help?

“Hmph, aren’t they the dignified Peach Forest’s Mu family of the Eastern Region? Do they still need to seek help from us?”

“A few days ago, the Mu family even threatened and demanded 70% of the medicinal garden’s resources! I think this kind of villain with ill intentions should be punished by the heavens now. We shouldn’t save him.”

“The people who asked for the protection fee actually want us to protect them now. There’s really nothing more absurd than this.”

“Right, let them fend for themselves. They deserve it!”

Most of the cultivators were filled with righteous indignation, especially after they knew that the Mu Clan was only protecting them in name and would not do anything substantial.

The Great Mountain Region’s impression towards the Mu family became even worse.

However, there were also people who expressed their worries.

“However, they are the Mu family of the Peach Forest after all. If they die in our Great Mountain Region, will it cause revenge?”

“That Mu Chunyang is the son of the Mu family’s head. If something really happens, they won’t let it go.”

This worry was reasonable and no one could refute it.

After all, even Shenshan Jianyi was afraid of the Mu family and did not dare to kill them.

It was fine for these descendants of the family to be beaten up outside, but if someone really died, the Mu family would step forward no matter what. They had just gotten into a conflict with them on the territory of the Great Mountain Region, so it was difficult for them not to take the blame.

“Where did they encounter trouble?”

The others were all concerned about whether they should save the Mu family.

However, what Jiang Li was concerned about was what had happened to them. How did it happen?

“It’s in the Mother River. The exact location seems to be the place where the Golden Core zombie demon was at.”

“Moreover, they said that Elder Zuo Luo, who is still missing, is also there…”

Everyone fell into deep thought when they heard this. How could an ordinary river that had not been famous for thousands of years cause a Soul Formation cultivator, five Nascent Soul cultivators, and a Golden Core cultivator to fall there?

There was also the abnormal massacre of the two Golden Core cultivators from Shu Mountain. It was actually related to that river.

The Shu Mountain elders were even more regretful. They had clearly sent people to check the Mother River again. Why had they not discovered any problems?

Clearly, there was something hidden under this river.

Jiang Li’s face was expressionless, but he sighed in his heart. Had the underwater graveyard been discovered after all?

The Mu Family of the Peach Forest was indeed related to the Nine Nether Wood. Previously, they were so hostile to him mostly because of this.

He took out a dried piece of wood and rubbed it in his hand.

However, even he did not expect the Mu family to really have the ability to find the underwater graveyard so quickly.

Regarding the underwater graveyard and the other branch of the Nine Nether Wood, he had to go there no matter what.

“No one should know the terrain of the Great Mountain Region better than us.”

“There are very few places that can pose a threat to Soul Formation cultivators. Regardless of whether we provide help or not, we have to investigate the Mother River.”

“In addition, Shu Mountain should have already sent sword cultivators there.”

Jiang Li looked at the Shu Mountain Elder and indeed nodded.

After Elder Zuo Mo was captured and sent back to Shu Mountain, Shu Mountain must have discovered something wrong with him.

He originally did not believe that the two elders would do such a thing, but now, he discovered some clues.

With Shu Mountain’s nature, they naturally wanted to find out everything no matter what and prove the innocence of the two elders.

It would have been fine if the Mu family cultivators had not said the last sentence. However, they also knew that they had offended the Great Mountain Region tomorrow, so they emphasized in their distress that Elder Zuo Luo had also fallen there.

They had sent Elder Zuo Mo back earlier and the credibility of their words was not low. After receiving such news, Shu Mountain would definitely not stand by and watch.

However, the danger in the Mother River was too much. If they were not prepared, Jiang Li was afraid that they would be trapped there as well.

At that time, after consuming the Nine Nether Earth Fruits, the Great Mountain Region would be in danger.

There were several reasons, but Jiang Li had to intervene in this troublesome matter no matter what.

However, before Jiang Li could decide, his Alliance Leader Token started burning again.

With a thought, he connected and received several distress signals.

The only ones who could directly contact him was the Sect Masters of the Great Mountain Alliance’s sects.

Furthermore, without any emergencies, small sects were not allowed to contact each other casually.

He read the information. A small sect called the Three Seal Sect sent an emergency call for help.

The other clans near the Mother River also sought help at the same time.

Their distress message indicated that a large number of Yin Corpse Monsters had crawled out of the Mother River and were currently attacking their encampment.

Their strength was limited, the current situation already reaching a critical state. That was why they sent out a cry for help from the Great Mountain Alliance.

It seemed that the branch was planning to make a big move this time!

“Gather the disciples of the alliance immediately and get the nearby sects to prepare in advance to resist the enemy.”

“Contact the various large sects and send out top-notch cultivators to reinforce them. We’ll meet up on the way. Something that can cause the Mu family’s group to fall is definitely not simple. We can’t let our guard down.”

“In addition, the closest top sect to the Mother River is the Scripture Storage Valley. I’ll contact the Valley Master to send people out to support those few forces that are seeking help first.”

When Alliance Leader Jiang Li injected spiritual qi, the various large sects immediately received his information.

No one expected Jiang Li to use the Alliance Leader Token on the first day the Great Mountain Alliance officially opened.

“Now that the Hundred Tempering Mountain has been destroyed, is there anything else in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region worth such a huge commotion?”

“No matter what, once the Alliance Leader Token is used, all the major sects must respond and gather their strength to set off!”

…

The Mother River was already covered in endless Yin Corpses.

The environment in the underwater graveyard had been around for a long time.

Before the Nine Nether Wood took over, there were already many corpses accumulated here. From the fact that an ancient race like the Ghost Lantern Fish still existed here, it could be seen that this graveyard had existed for a long time.

Some corpses had already turned to dust due to the power of time.

However, the decomposition of those corpses also made the Yin qi in this calm underwater space become higher and higher. It was like a huge piece of amber, preserving many ancient corpses.

At this moment, they, who had been sleeping in the underwater graveyard for thousands of years, opened their lifeless eyes under the control of some force and crawled out of the water bank.

Because they did not have souls in their bodies, they instinctively wanted to bite living beings and swallow their souls.

Driven by this instinct, the corpses that had accumulated over millions of years began to bite and devour all living things, especially humans. They were delicacies that they could not resist.

When Jiang Li and the other higher-ups of the Great Mountain Alliance flew over first, they were shocked by the scene before their eyes.

Jiang Li even suspected that he had gone to the wrong place.

The dense Yin Corpse Army covered almost all the visible areas.

Their movements were not slow, and in a short period of time, the range of their spread was extremely wide.

When they arrived, the mortal kingdoms closest to the Mother River had completely lost their vitality. Millions of people had been eaten up by these evil beings!

Countless ghosts wailed in pain in the air. They, who had just died and turned into ghosts, were torn apart and stuffed into the Yin Corpse’s stomach.

This tragic scene was even worse than when demonic cultivators rampaged hundreds of years ago!

“What… what’s going on! Why are there so many Yin Corpses?”

“In the past hundreds of years, I’ve never heard of such a large-scale disappearance of mortals. Who exactly could conjure such a large-scale disaster!”

“No, these corpses are probably quite old. They are covered in brownish-red fur and have nimble limbs like apes. They should be the hairy men who died eight thousand years ago!”

“I see piercings through the chest, face and nose. Could that be the Piercing Country’s citizens who were wiped out six thousand years ago?”

“Look, that person has feathers on his body… I really didn’t expect such a terrifying danger spot to be hidden under our noses.”

There were not many flying ships in the Great Mountain Alliance for the time being, and their speed was not as fast as experts like them flying at full speed.

Therefore, Jiang Li only brought cultivators of the Nascent Soul realm and above. They abandoned the main group and came here in advance.

After seeing these Yin Corpses, he grabbed a few and discovered that the corpses that appeared this time were not only normal humans, but also the corpses of various other races.

With their broad knowledge, they could recognize that these races were all ancient races that had been declared extinct.

These Yin Corpses had been soaked in Yin qi for even longer than half a year. They were different from the low-grade Yin Corpses that Qi Refinement realm cultivators could deal with.

These evil beings that were obviously older were very ferocious. Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators would probably not have a good end when facing them.

“Look, there’s the Scripture Storage Valley’s warship ahead. Let’s go over!”

After flying for a while, Jiang Li and the others finally saw the group of people who had already arrived at the Scripture Storage Valley. They were helping a cultivation clan resist the corpse tide.

After revealing his identity, Jiang Li landed on the flying ship.

What greeted him was a series of “Senior Brother Alliance Leader!”

When he heard this, Jiang Li could not help but smile. The warship was filled with familiar faces. They were all fellow disciples of the Demon Vanquishing Hall.

This mission was urgent. The first group to be deployed was his “family”, the Demon Vanquishing Hall.

However, based on Jiang Li’s current identity, “Junior Brother Jiang Li” had already been uniformly changed to “Senior Brother Alliance Leader”. Other than Chu Yunxuan and a few others, there were already very few people in the Scripture Storage Valley who had the qualifications to call him Junior Brother.

“Master, how’s the situation?”

Jiang Li and his fellow disciples greeted each other briefly before finding Elder He who had a frown on his face. His iron-like body stood at the bow of the ship, and his gaze stared fixedly in the direction of the Yin Corpses.

“It seems that these Yin Corpses are not the biggest problem.”

“You should have sensed it too. There’s something troublesome over there. I’m afraid it’s not easy to deal with.”

Jiang Li also looked in that direction. Yin qi surged into the sky, causing the entire sky to be covered in dark clouds.

This caused the demons and wild beasts in this area to flee for their lives with a single glance.

“That might is probably not inferior to the ghostwood tree demon king from before. It’s best not to rashly approach it…”

“Alliance Leader, should we clean up these Yin Corpses first?”

Cultivators at the Nascent Soul realm already had the power to destroy mountains, break rivers, and change the terrain. With a large-scale spell technique, they could eliminate these Yin Corpses one by one.

However, Jiang Li shook his head.

“You still need to preserve your spiritual qi to deal with the thing at the source. As for these Yin Corpses, leave them to me.”

Before the reinforcements of the three sects arrived, they did not plan to take the risk. However, they could not let these Yin Corpses spread out anymore.

In the cultivation world, the weakness of mortal kingdoms was beyond the imagination of most people. A few thousand Yin Corpses could destroy a country.

Therefore, they needed to stop them here. Otherwise, when the Yin Corpses spread out, they would be far from enough manpower to kill them.

However, he had to ensure that the combat strength of top-notch cultivators was complete. Before facing the Nine Nether Wood, he could not expend their energy on these Yin Corpses.

Jiang Li did not hesitate and generously took out the Yin Burial Coffin.

With a shake of his hand, the coffin swelled up with the wind. The coffin lid automatically slid open, and the aura of extreme yin leaked out.

The souls of the dead floating in the air were attracted and spontaneously floated towards the coffin, as if that was their paradise of rebirth.

This was the effect of the spider lily. As long as the coffin lid was opened, all the ghosts within a 50-kilometer radius would be lured into it.

Then, Jiang Li pointed out with his finger, and a ball of black clouds immediately surged out from the coffin. After spreading in the air, it transformed into an army of Yin Burial Ghost Soldiers and charged towards the Yin Corpses below.

“Is this Alliance Leader Jiang’s coffin? It really has brilliant divine might. It’s the treasure of our Great Mountain Region.”

Jiang Li rolled his eyes. This was the first time he had heard someone say that coffins were treasures.

Previously, in order to prevent the origins of the coffin from being questioned, he had specially exchanged for Elder Lin Fengying’s Coffin Burial Art to conceal it.

Later on, he discovered that his strength and status had risen too quickly. When the Yin Burial Coffin was exposed, he no longer needed to explain to others.

After he displayed these methods in the Hundred Tempering Mountain, no one had asked him about them.

Just as no one would ask where the Hidden Sword Elder’s flying sword came from, and how no one would ask where the wild boar of the Scripture Storage Valley’s Guardian was caught,

it was treated as the norm for them to have a few trump cards and good things in their hands. Who would dare to question the secret of the Great Mountain Alliance’s Alliance Leader?

Under Jiang Li’s command, 900,000 ghost soldiers charged into the Yin Corpse Tide.

Using possession, they entered the Yin Corpse’s body, then controlled the corpse to change direction and kill the other Yin Corpses.

The soul in these evil beings had long dissipated. They were purely stimulated by a surge of Yin qi.

It was actually quite easy for the Soul Burial Ghost Soldier to possess such a body.

After controlling these Yin Corpses to fight, if their corpses were damaged, the ghost soldiers could still escape and continue to possess others.

Every time a corpse was possessed and died, it would cause injuries to the ghost soldier. After about three times, the ghost soldier would dissipate.

However, this method was enough to kill nearly six enemies per ghost soldier.

In this large-scale battle, the dwindled number of Soul Burial Ghost Soldiers would definitely fall sharply again.

Fortunately, he could still gain something from this battle.

Every time the ghost soldiers killed a Yin Corpse, they would take out the souls that had been eaten and bring them back to the coffin.

As long as they underwent a period of Yin Burial transformation, these ghosts that died under the corpse’s mouth could also be transformed into glorious ghost soldiers.

With more than 800,000 ghost soldiers joining the battlefield, the tide of Yin Corpses finally stopped.
