Chapter 462: Chapter 516: Marching on the Corpse Control Sect Chapter 462: Chapter 516: Marching on the Corpse Control Sect Hearing this, not only did the Poison Wolf frown, but the Falcon was also startled, “Crown Prince, think again!”
“This is the decision I’ve made after careful consideration,” Chen Nan’s tone was thick with a murderous intent, “Carry out the order!”
The Falcon spoke loudly, “Yes, I’ll imdiately assemble the troops.”
“The faster, the better.”
After hanging up the phone, Chen Nan turned to Poison Wolf, “What are you standing there for? Get in the car!”
Poison Wolf snapped back to reality, pulled open the car door, and got into the Land Rover. Looking at Chen Nan, he said, “You’ve fallen for Su Qingqing, haven’t you?”
Chen Nan started the car and tossed over a pack of cigarettes, “Cut the crap and smoke your cigarette.”
“Liking soone is liking soone, and yet you still won’t admit it. I knew you were in love with her the mont I saw your reaction,” Poison Wolf said.
Poison Wolf took out two cigarettes, lit them up, and passed one to Chen Nan, “Do you know what her relationship is with the Immortal Spirit Saintess? Why did the Corpse Control Sect choose her to rge with the Holy Maiden’s Corpse?”
Chen Nan shook his head, “I don’t know the details. I only know she’s a descendant of the Saintess, and she looks exactly like her as well.”
Poison Wolf sighed, “I see. I hope we can still make it in ti.”
Chen Nan had already sped up the car to its fastest, took a heavy drag of his cigarette, and said, “Damn it, if anyone dares to lay a finger on her, I’ll make sure not a single one from the Corpse Control Sect is left alive!”
Hearing this cold voice, even Poison Wolf felt a chill in his heart.
Despite his strong cultivation, the sharp and fierce murderous aura emanating from Chen Nan made him feel uneasy, as if the person sitting next to him was not a man, but a bomb that had been lit and could explode at any mont.
“We are over a thousand miles away from Ten Thousand Ghost Mountain. They took Su Qingqing around two in the afternoon, and even if we rush at full speed, we should have only just reached Ten Thousand Ghost Mountain by now,” Poison Wolf said. “Although the Immortal Spirit Saintess had reached the Tongtian realm, no one knows how she died back then, but her corpse has lasted for thousands of years without decay, showing how powerful she was. The Corpse Control Sect will have to make a lot of preparations to refine the Holy Maiden’s Corpse. In the short term, Qingqing shouldn’t be in any mortal danger.”
“I hope that’s the case.”
Chen Nan’s anger gradually subsided as he said, “Before I left, I told the girl to stay away from Jiang Haotian. You’ve been watching from the shadows, what exactly happened at noon?”
“Ultimately, it still relates to you,” Poison Wolf said. “Because of the Huo Xinya matter, you deceived her. She was down all morning. At noon, Jiang Haotian invited her out to eat, saying he wanted to talk about sothing related to her father. She agreed.”
Chen Nan, sowhat irked, said, “So, that’s when Jiang Haotian made his move on the way?”
“Exactly.”
Poison Wolf nodded and said, “Jiang Haotian didn’t take her out to eat; instead, he drove her to the West Suburb. By the ti I caught up to intercept them, Qingqing had already fallen for his hypnotism and was unconscious. I rushed up to save her, but from the trunk of his car, a War Corpse burst out. By the ti I had dealt with the War Corpse, Qingqing was already taken by his accomplice, and Jiang Haotian had taken the opportunity to escape.”
Chen Nan was filled with remorse, “I underestimated him, never expecting him to be a corpse controller.”
“Yeah, I didn’t expect it either. Otherwise, I would have been more cautious around him,” Poison Wolf said.
“There’s no point in talking about it now. I can only hope that everything is still in ti,” Chen Nan looked at Poison Wolf and said, “Check the GPS and see if you can locate Ten Thousand Ghost Mountain.”
“Should be possible. Let try,” Poison Wolf said.
Poison Wolf agreed, and began to look through the navigation system.
…
They set off at eleven at night and didn’t arrive in the Western Border until five-thirty the next morning.
Looking at the towering mountains around him, Chen Nan parked the car in a forest.
“Now that the falcons haven’t arrived, with just the two of us, it’s difficult to confront the entire Corpse Control Sect.” Chen Nan pointed ahead and said, “According to the navigation, we are fifty miles away from the Corpse Control Sect. The car is too conspicuous a target, so we should proceed on foot to explore and figure out where Qingqing is being held.”
Poison Wolf nodded and said, “That’s what I was thinking too.”
The two brothers got out of the car, utilized their qinggong to traverse mountains and valleys, and ran towards the west.
Feeling the fluctuations of True Qi from Chen Nan, Poison Wolf looked at him with so surprise, “When did you make another breakthrough?”
“Just yesterday morning,” Chen Nan said.
“Damn you, freak,” Poison Wolf cursed jokingly, “After you entered the Ninth Layer Heaven, it’s only been a few days, and you’ve already made another breakthrough?”
Chen Nan glanced at him, “I see that the flow of True Qi in you is sotis strong and sotis weak—it seems like you have one foot in the Master Realm already, on the verge of a breakthrough, right?”
Poison Wolf nodded and said, “You’ve jumped from the Eighth Layer Heaven to the Ten Layers, whereas I’m still treading water in the sa spot. If I don’t break through soon, there will be no place to save my face.”
“No problem, you’ve always had thick skin anyway.”
“…”
The two moved stealthily, and after ten minutes, they arrived at the base of Ten Thousand Ghost Mountain.
True to its na, Ten Thousand Ghost Mountain was shrouded in black fog all year round, exuding a strong scent of death.
At midnight, cries of infants and various strange and sinister sounds could be heard from the mountain, according to legend, Ten Thousand Ghost Mountain was the gateway to the Underworld, and these sounds were those of wronged souls wailing as they drifted through the mountain.
Of course, these were rely legends. As for the truth, no one knew.
It was now just past 5:40 in the morning, barely dawn, and with the omnipresent black Death Energy swirling around the mountain, visibility was reduced to within fifty ters.
Chen Nan looked at Poison Wolf and said, “I’ll go up the mountain first to scout the situation. You wait here for Falcon and the others to co.”
“No, if you go, we go together.”
After hesitating for a long mont, Chen Nan nodded and said, “Alright!”
With his fiery temper, he was initially ready to storm up there directly, but after calming down and thinking it over, he realized it wasn’t a wise move, especially as Falcon and the others hadn’t arrived yet, and their strength was limited.
The Corpse Control Sect often desecrated ancestral graves, committing heinous acts without any moral scruples, and they were nearly enemies with everyone under the sky. Yet, for over a thousand years, no one had ever succeeded in annihilating them, which attested to their profound foundation.
If they were to assault directly with just their power, it was likely a one-way trip with no return.
On Ten Thousand Ghost Mountain, the trees were lush, and the ground was littered with bones everywhere.
So had undergone endless years of decay and would crumble to the touch, while others were extrely hard and couldn’t be broken by stepping on them. These bones either were not very old or they belonged to the remains of powerful beings.
Cold winds swept through the mountain constantly. The brothers walked shoulder to shoulder and soon arrived midway up the mountain.
Suddenly!
“Swish…”
A shadow leaped from the ground, Death Energy surging around it, emitting a piercing scream as it lunged straight at them.
