"I really don't know."
Lu Shouren hurriedly spoke again.
"Safe travels." The Black Shadow's eyes narrowed, and the demon artifact in his hand was about to fall. Lu Shouren's face changed as he tried to activate the Protective Talisman, but the Soul Poison was too fierce and had already penetrated into his soul in the blink of an eye.
He wanted to use the Protective Talisman, but the Soul Poison had been in his body too long, making it completely uncontrollable, and he couldn't gather his Divine Sense. Yet the other party's demon artifact had already fallen, and the Power of the Protective Golden Core that could block a Golden Core Cultivator's attack was easily pierced by it.
"Fellow Daoist, spare..."
Lu Shouren's terrified voice abruptly stopped, for in that mont, the mysterious cultivator who was about to take his life suddenly flew backward, with the force that had pierced through his Protective Golden Core being grabbed by a Ghost Hand, halting its advance.
"Li Bai!"
Lu Shouren was overjoyed instantly, and upon feeling the ghostly pressure on Li Bai, which was even more powerful and intimidating than that of the Demon Cultivator from the Outer Hidden Demon Sect, his fear turned into great joy.
Lu Shouren hurriedly said, "This person is He Xiong Wu's accomplice and is very likely a Demon Cultivator from the Outer Hidden Demon Sect. He Xiong Wu has escaped, we must not let him escape again. Capture him, and the Lu Family will owe you a great debt!"
"I, Lu Bai, could form a Top-Grade Golden Core all thanks to the Lu Family's full support. So I am Lu Family in life, and a Lu Family spirit in death. Talking about rit and reward is unnecessary... Even if I gain nothing, I would still be willing to throw myself into danger and sacrifice for the Lu Family. Seventh Elder, you rest first, see how I capture him!"
East Spring Undying Bone conveyed his thoughts with Divine Sense, responding with grandeur and emotion.
Lu Shouren didn't find it odd at all, on the contrary, he bead with joy, and his heart was filled with ecstasy.
He didn't expect Li Bai to be so loyal.
He even changed his surna to Lu.
"With you, the Lu Family will prosper!"
Watching this scene at Lengxi Mountain, Wen Jiu saw Master Jue Ying's expression and couldn't help but smile knowingly. Everything that needed to be said was spoken, and those who needed to hear it did. Now it was ti to deal with Master Jue Ying.
One had to admit, this Master Jue Ying was indeed unusual.
That punch just now might not have been his full strength, but in the Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi was mixed with Jade Splendor Cyan Wood Divine Thunder, much stronger than a hit on He Xiong Wu, yet Master Jue Ying only suffered light injuries, which healed almost instantly as Demonic Qi surged.
"As expected of a Top-Grade Golden Core, upon formation it's already comparable to an elder cultivator of several hundred years," Master Jue Ying grinned as the Demonic Qi transford into formless entities and his aura swiftly surged.
In the blink of an eye.
Master Jue Ying disappeared, and before Lu Shouren could react, a surge of Demonic Qi appeared behind East Spring Undying Bone and engulfed him instantly, then turned into black mist to flee far away.
Lu Shouren's face showed great alarm, "Lu Bai!"
However.
The mont the words ended, the black fog had already crossed ten miles.
"Damn!"
Lu Shouren quickly took out the Communication Stone, repeatedly yelling into it, "Ancestor, we have big trouble, big trouble!"
anwhile, Master Jue Ying wrapped East Spring Undying Bone, traveling rapidly across the sky, increasing speed, and constraining East Spring Undying Bone tighter and tighter until within monts, they were a hundred miles away.
"This is the Demon Shadow Formless Technique, the strongest assassination demon technique of our Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, able to conceal and bind. Even if a Middle Stage Golden Core cultivator is caught, it's a certain death. I've lain hidden in the West Mountain Floating Domain for over fifty years, and I never thought today would bring such a huge surprise. I've changed my mind, instead of killing you, I'll take you to the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect. I'm sure the Sect Leader will be very..."
"Master Jue Ying, are you finished?"
As the words fell, imnse Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi erupted from within East Spring Undying Bone, ripping apart the Demonic Qi of Master Jue Ying in an instant. Master Juejing was shocked, unable to care why this person knew his weakness, because before he could react, Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi mixed with Jade Splendor Cyan Wood Divine Thunder enveloped him directly.
Jue Ying tried to break free but was repeatedly blasted away by the Jade Splendor Cyan Wood Divine Thunder, and his Demonic Qi was quickly devoured upon contact with the Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi.
"What's going on?" Upon realizing his Formless Demonic Qi was being devoured, Master Jue Ying was greatly alard.
The Formless Demonic Qi ranks among the top in the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, and less than one in ten Golden Core cultivators manage to master it.
Normally, it would overpower the magical power of Righteous Cultivators and the Yin Techniques of Heterodox Cultivators, but today his Formless Demonic Qi was being devoured by Ghost Qi, and he couldn't even suppress it.
"Master He indeed spoke truly; this Ghost Qi can restrain your Formless Demonic Qi." Wen Jiu once again spouted nonsense, primarily to confuse, shifting the attention of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect onto the Lu Family while also sowing doubt about the He Family. In Wen Jiu's view, the murkier the waters, the safer he was.
"He Xiong Wu?"
Master Jue Ying's expression changed drastically.
Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone and coldly smiled, "You don't need to know this much, just die."
The words fell.
The East Spring Undying Bone Soul-Capturing Eye opened again, holding the defenseless Master Jue Ying. As Master Jue Ying struggled in horror, the Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi mixed with Jade Splendor Cyan Wood Divine Thunder continued compressing, gradually reducing his Formless Demon Body to the size of a fist.
The Soul-Capturing Eye devoured his Demon Soul, yet even bereft of the Demon Soul, Master Jue Ying's Formless Demon Body remained vigorous, though it buzzed like a headless fly having lost any semblance of aura, even mimicking the unique aura of Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi, becoming indistinguishable within it.
If not for the powerful Divine Sense of East Spring Undying Bone and the black demonic aura still lingering around him, even East Spring Undying Bone's Divine Sense might have failed to detect it. This aspect greatly surprised Wen Jiu.
He had to be glad that he kept concealing himself. If he had revealed an overwhelming stance from the start, Master Jue Ying would likely have fled without a second thought. If he truly went into hiding, even East Spring Undying Bone might have found it difficult to find him. Although the Corpse Fate Technique could assist in locking onto his location, finding it wouldn't have been easy.
At Lengxi Mountain, Wen Jiu carefully appreciated the peculiarity of the Formless Demon Body, sighing with admiration, "This Formless Demon Body is without shape or form, mimicking other existences to achieve deception to reality, its aura undetectable even by the Divine Sense of East Spring Undying Bone.
Once the Corpse Nurturer opens new spots for transformation, rging it with Demon Cultivator Remains and refining it into a corpse, it could yield a Formless Demon Corpse. Its abilities to conceal, mimic, and its formidable capability could offer a surprisingly powerful tactic in the right context."
He doesn't currently lack offensive or defensive thods; the formidable Blood Demon Undying Bone Corpse Body, transforming into a Golden Core Corpse, would undoubtedly be stronger than East Spring Undying Bone. Even though Three Thousand Blood Inks don't compare to the two corpses, with the Blood Evil Dao Foundation, it is undoubtedly the strongest in the capacity of corpse aura among the Three Corpses, and along with Copse Fate Technique, it serves as an exceptionally excellent support.
But he lacks thods of disguise, Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute suffice for creating a semblance of his form, yet there are no thods to advance it further; even in Yan Zhen's mory, the entire Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks found nothing.
It was acquired from a relic site, and the ans to cultivate it to the third tier have long vanished.
Even the Corpse Fate Technique couldn't prognosticate its path.
As he progresses further, situations grow more complex, the cultivators he encounters more powerful; if one aspect of the Three Karmic Demon could see through the Undying Bone Body, then it is crucial to possess a powerful ans of disguise.
Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute offers no advancent, but the Formless Demon Corpse's stealth and mimicking capabilities can be continuously enhanced.
Possessing it would be akin to having a doppelgänger, allowing his true self to remain safely behind the scenes.
Master Jue Ying, though a Middle-Grade Golden Core, trained for decades, yet his cultivation could match neither the Late Stage Golden Core nor perceive the Divine Sense comparable to that of the Late Stage Golden Core, which East Spring Undying Bone possessed. With his access to daily settlent panels and status as a Corpse Nurturer, he is bound to refine this Formless Demon Body to greater strength.
"Ti to return to the Little Demon Realm."
Wen Jiu stored the Formless Demon Body into East Spring Undying Bone's body, then swiftly employed the Blood Corpse Escape towards the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, taking on the appearance of a Corpse Cultivator once beyond Celestial Yin Mountain Range.
Even if Lu Shouren were present, he wouldn't be able to discern that he was Ghost Cultivator Li Bai.
