The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 93 Immortal Corpse Sect
Jiu Shen discovered that the old man's true essence was very strange.
The latter's aura was filled with negative energies invisible to the human eye, but with Jiu Shen's spiritual power, he saw everything clearly.
“Corpse Qi...” Jiu Shen muttered coldly after seeing the negative energy enveloping the old man.
Corpse Qi was obtained when one used the body of a dead expert to cultivate themselves. The kind of cultivators who practiced their techniques using corpses were hated by many people. This included Jiu Shen who was now itching to hit the old man to death.
“Kekeke! What are you pests standing there for?! Get out of this master's sight if you still value your life! Kekeke!” The old man laughed in a frightening manner that made everyone tremble in fear.
They hurriedly distanced themselves from the old man, treating him like a plague. In addition to the old man's disgusting appearance, he also emitted a dangerous vibe that made the other cultivators even more afraid of him.
“So, these are the cultivators of the Silver Wing Kingdom? I don't see anything special about you guys, trash! Only a few insects I can crush with one hand. Kekeke!” The old man laughed with disdain.
The cultivators felt angry from being humiliated by the old man. If not for his strength, they would have already thrown themselves at him to assuage their anger.
“Old man, I will save you if you just showed off your strength, but you are actually insulting the cultivators of our Silver Wing Empire.” A middle-aged man in his forties dressed as a beggar stepped forward while glaring at the old man.
This man's name was Can Ye and he was only here to enjoy wine as usual, but right before he could enter Jiu Shen's shop, he was just here to enjoy wine as usual, he heard the old man's arrogant words and he couldn't help but take action.
The skinny old man narrowed his eyes as he turned to look at Can Ye. Her dry lips curved upwards to form a cold grin when she felt the power of the latter.
“I wonder who has said such bold words. To think that it was just a mere clown at the early stages of the 6th rank King realm! You are really broadening the horizons of this old man! Kekeke!” The old man sneered in disdain.
This old man came from a sect called ‘Sekte Corpse Abadi’. This sect had quite a good reputation throughout the entire Profound Dragon Continent. Their Sect Master was an old being at the 9th rank Saint realm! With the presence of their mighty Sect Master, the sect remained untouched despite having committed countless evil deeds.
The disciples of the Immortal Corpse Sect cultivated puppets made from the corpses of powerful experts. Absolutely right! They used the corpses of deceased cultivators and some other precious materials to make their puppets. And because of their hateful behavior, they have come under fire from everyone. However, no one had the guts to attack this sect due to the presence of their Sect Master getting in the way!
Can Ye subconsciously grip the sword behind his back when the old man easily looks through his cultivation level.
He was someone with talent but was unfortunately born from a humble background. Its growth speed might be considered fast when compared to other itinerant cultivators, but in front of geniuses born from noble families, its cultivation speed was still a little slower. Despite this, his reputation within the Silver Wing Empire was still good.
“Old dog, who are you?” Can Ye asked as he held the hilt of his sword firmly. He could not see through the old man no matter how much he looked at him.
The old man's expression darkened when he heard how Can Ye called out to him. He glared at the latter while taking out the stone coffin from his storage ring. The coffin was made of an unknown stone and continued to give off a pungent stench.
“Beggars of the Silver Wing Empire! The name of this old man is Shiti Xibo and I am the elder of the Immortal Corpse Sect!” Shiti Xibo shouted with fierce madness in his overcast eyes.
“What?! Did he say Immortal Corpse Sect?!”
“What are you yelling?!”
“The Immortal Corpse Sect is an evil sect that uses the corpses of sick cultivators to make their puppets! They even killed many people just to make it as a puppet!”
“What?! There is actually such a disgusting sect in our Great Dragon Continent?!”
The crowd suddenly felt worried when they heard Shiti Xibo announce her identity. The Immortal Corpse Sect was too famous for them and it was basically their nightmare!
Can Ye's breathing increased and he couldn't help but pull out his sword earlier. He had also heard a thing or two about the Immortal Corpse Sect, and even he was worried about them.
“So, you are someone with a disgusting origin! Then, you have no right to continue living in this world! Die!” Can Ye shouted while pouncing towards Shiti Xibo. His sword sparkled and as he activated his true essence.
Shiti Xibo lifted the stone coffin without difficulty as if he was just holding a toy.
“About!”
Sparks flew as Can Ye's sword hit the stone chest, but surprisingly, his sword only left a small white mark on the coffin.
Can Ye's eyes turned sharp and he hurriedly kicked the coffin to make a distance between himself and Shiti Xibo.
Shiti Xibo took a step back and smiled horribly at Can Ye, showing two rows of black and yellow teeth. “Not bad! You are not too bad for a traveling cultivator. Kekeke!” The old man praised cynically.
He already knew that Can Ye was someone with no background when he saw the latter's plain and ordinary clothes.
Jiu Shen who was watching the battle with a calm expression suddenly smiled when he heard the mechanical sound of the system.
– Ding!
– Mission: Protect four Earth Origin Dragon Trees! A reward will be given for completing this mission!
“So it finally started..” murmured Jiu Shen.
