#1083 - Poison
"Although the two corpses have no essence blood and souls, the mana in their bodies has not dissipated. They are excellent pills for improving cultivation, so they cannot be wasted lightly. Right now, I need to devour the mana in their bodies as soon as possible."
While muttering to himself, Chi Pei made hand seals, and spiritual light flickered from his fingertips, condensing into runes that he shot towards the two corpses.
He was sealing the two corpses to delay the loss of mana within them.
However, no matter how he sealed them, the mana in the corpses would eventually dissipate.
The best way was to devour the mana in the two bodies as soon as possible to avoid wasting it.
Suddenly.
Chi Pei heard a sound of rushing wind behind him, someone was coming through the air.
Turning his head to look, he discovered that the person was actually 'Ye Hua'.
"Young Master, you really are here! I heard the sounds of fighting here and thought it might be you, so I came looking. I didn't expect to actually find you."
'Ye Hua' looked overjoyed, seeing Chi Pei as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
After all, this place was close to the core area of the Corpse Poisonous Ridge, which was still fraught with danger for a 'Nascent Soul Stage cultivator' like him.
Chi Pei merely glanced at Song Wen and didn't pay much attention, continuing to seal the corpses of Tang Gui and Sang Bu.
When Song Wen approached, he had just finished sealing them and put the two corpses into his storage ring.
Seeing this scene, Song Wen's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Tang Gui, Sang Bu, the two seniors have fallen?"
Chi Pei said, "The Blood-Eyed Divine Ape and the Azure Profound Dove were chasing the three of us relentlessly. The two of them died unfortunately to protect me. This young master intends to take their bodies back to the Hidden Moon Hall for a proper burial, to comfort their souls in heaven."
Song Wen said, "Young Master is benevolent, I admire you. Although the two seniors unfortunately fell, if they knew that the Young Master treated them so well, they would surely die without regrets."
"Have you seen Shi Man and Qi Luo?" Chi Pei asked.
Since 'Ye Hua' could find him based on the sounds of the battle, then Shi Man and Qi Luo might also come looking.
Song Wen said, "After we separated, I haven't seen Senior Shi Man and Senior Qi Luo again."
Chi Pei didn't doubt anything Song Wen said.
"You've come at the right time. This young master has consumed a lot of mana and urgently needs to go into seclusion to recover. It just so happens that I need someone to protect me."
Song Wen looked excited, with a hint of flattered expression in his eyes.
"It is my honor to serve the Young Master."
Chi Pei nodded slightly, "Follow me."
Under Chi Pei's lead, the two of them sped away, quickly traveling tens of thousands of miles.
At the foot of a high mountain, Chi Pei found a cave about a mile wide.
After carefully exploring the inside and outside of the cave and confirming that there were no dangers, Chi Pei said.
"Go outside the cave and find a hidden place to hide. I can't be disturbed when I'm in seclusion. You must constantly monitor the surrounding movements, and if there are any changes, you must notify me in time."
"Your subordinate obeys!" Song Wen replied.
After speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped.
"Young Master, your subordinate has a question and asks the Young Master to answer it. Now that the Young Master has escaped danger, why not leave the Corpse Poisonous Ridge before recovering mana, instead of choosing to go into seclusion in this dangerous Corpse Poisonous Ridge?"
Chi Pei's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Is it also your place to inquire about this young master's affairs..." Chi Pei's lips parted and closed, sternly berating.
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw 'Ye Hua' move and pounce towards him.
At the same time, a pale yellow smoke gushed out from the sleeve of 'Ye Hua's' left hand, heading straight for his face.
And in 'Ye Hua's' right hand, there was a short blade a foot long, stabbing directly at his lower abdomen dantian.
The distance between the two was only a little over ten feet, which could be described as close at hand. At such a close distance, Song Wen's sudden sneak attack left Chi Pei with no time to make any defensive moves.
He was first sprayed in the face with smoke, and the smoke entered his body through his mouth, nose, and skin.
Then, before he could determine what this pale yellow smoke was, he felt a pain in his abdomen, and the short blade pierced into his body.
Song Wen used all his strength to send the Soul-Splitting Blade into Chi Pei's abdomen.
Although he could not activate this treasure, the golden sharpness of the treasure itself was enough to shatter Chi Pei's dantian and Nascent Soul, killing him with one blow.
The Soul-Splitting Blade directly penetrated Chi Pei's body, and even Song Wen's palm was submerged in Chi Pei's body.
However, Song Wen discovered that the corpse hanging on his hand had turned into a dried corpse.
Song Wen was all too familiar with this scene.
The dried corpse in front of him was a substitute puppet made from a corpse puppet!
Suddenly, he noticed a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from behind him.
With a thought, a black umbrella suddenly appeared behind him.
"Bang!"
A loud noise was heard.
Song Wen only felt a huge force hitting the Spirit-Controlling Umbrella.
The Spirit-Controlling Umbrella suddenly lost control and hit his back. He was knocked away with the umbrella until he crashed into the rock wall of the cave in front of him, smashing a large area of rocks before stopping.
"I didn't expect that you were actually a mid-Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, and you also possess a low-grade defensive spiritual treasure. No wonder you dared to attack this young master. You disguised yourself as a Nascent Soul cultivator and approached this young master, what exactly do you want?" Chi Pei asked, gnashing his teeth as he hovered in mid-air.
"Of course, I want your life."
Song Wen flew out of the rubble, the Soul-Splitting Blade in his hand had disappeared, replaced by the Sun-Chasing Spear.
The spear light flickered, as dazzling as the scorching sun, illuminating the dark cave.
The cave was already very small, and as soon as Song Wen activated the long spear, Chi Pei felt the spear light stinging his face.
"A mere ant dares to be presumptuous in front of this young master!"
As a core disciple of the Divine Blood Sect, Chi Pei looked down on cultivators from small sects and rogue cultivators.
Of course, he also had the capital to be arrogant.
He was confident that in this Qicang Domain, there were few Nascent Soul Stage cultivators who could match him.
A blood-colored tentacle as thick as a human waist suddenly emerged from under his feet, stabbing towards Song Wen with lightning speed.
The tentacle suddenly stopped halfway, collapsing into a sea of blood and scattering on the ground.
Chi Pei himself held his head in his hands, a look of pain on his face, and his body trembled non-stop.
"Ah—"
Chi Pei let out a series of low roars, obviously enduring unbearable pain, trying hard to suppress it, but unable to do so.
Song Wen naturally would not miss this great opportunity. His figure flashed, and he was already in front of Chi Pei, the long spear in his hand pointing directly at Chi Pei's chest.
Earlier, the pale yellow smoke that gushed out of his sleeve was Soul-Scattering Smoke.
Soul-Scattering Smoke, when paired with Mortal Dust Incense, could injure the soul, and even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators would find it difficult to resist.
