Wu Xiaode finally saw the corpse.

The Heavenly Origin Sect Leader.

The most renowned figure in the world.

After falling from the sky and dying, the body was placed on the ground outside the Fuyun Sect's discussion hall.

Intense discussions from various sect leaders and elders echoed from within the hall.

Outside the hall.

The corpse lay there alone, unnoticed by anyone.

Not even a piece of white cloth was draped over him.

He was like a statue stripped of meaning, abandoned by all.

Wu Xiaode watched silently, then saw Senior Brother Yao He sneaking over, patting his shoulder:

"Why wear a Concealing Talisman today?"

A Concealing Talisman is used outside the sect for various trials, to mask spiritual power fluctuations and prevent others from discerning one's background.

Few use it within the sect.

Wu Xiaode said, "With such a significant event, even the Sect Leader is nervous. We should be proactive and cautious."

Yao He thought it over and agreed, then slapped a Concealing Talisman on himself.

"Junior Brother, all lessons are canceled today. Since there's nothing to do, how about going down the mountain to stock up with me?"

He whispered.

"You've finished all those jade slips?" Wu Xiaode couldn't help but ask.

"Lately, too many shoddy products, I'm planning to visit the marketplace, go to the Joyful Union Sect's store, and bring back some fine jade slips to sell." Yao He said.

"Is it necessary?" Wu Xiaode shrugged.

"Food should be fine, meat should be sliced thin." Yao He said seriously.

Wu Xiaode couldn't help but roll his eyes.

If you used this energy for cultivation, the position of the next Sect Master would definitely be yours!

"Mainly because I need various elixirs for cultivation recently, but I'm out of spirit stones, I must make a deal." Yao He rubbed his hands.

As he said this, Wu Xiaode remembered something.

"Don't bother with stocking up, Senior Brother, go find a few true disciples, and take them to the back of Red Rock Peak."

"Why go to such a barren place?" Yao He couldn't understand.

"There's a relic I found there, with many elixirs inside. Junior Sister Fu has already gone, you should go and take some too." Wu Xiaode said.

He patted his storage bag and took out the prohibition jade slip he had set up at Red Rock Peak.

Yao He was overjoyed.

"Good brother," he affectionately patted Wu Xiaode's shoulder, "I'll go now!"

After speaking, his figure flashed and flew away.

Wu Xiaode's gaze returned to the corpse of the Heavenly Origin Sect Leader.

Fu Caier.

The person you allied with is dead.

How will you respond now?

According to fate, you will eventually become the strongest cultivator.

But will everything still follow the predetermined trajectory?

A while later.

Two elders flew out of the hall, performing spells, pointing at the corpse.

"Shadow Pursuit!"

"Summoning Soul!"

Both magic spells activated simultaneously.

"Shadow Pursuit" traces back the spell trajectory from the remnants of the deceased's magic fluctuations, to determine what the deceased encountered.

"Summoning Soul" is a more advanced spell, attempting to summon the soul of the deceased for direct inquiry.

The double spell activated.

Suddenly, layers of dark light burst forth from the corpse of the Heavenly Origin Sect Leader.

Countless fierce evil ghost creatures clung to the corpse, screaming eerily.

The two elders suffered heavy blows, simultaneously spitting blood.

Their spells scattered instantly.

"Can't investigate, can't investigate." one elder sighed.

"What kind of technique drains his power, curses the corpse with evil ghosts, making it inaccessible." another elder said with a shudder.

"Can direct contact with the corpse work without magic?"

"That method was tried, yes, we can investigate, but found nothing."

They shook their heads and returned to the discussion hall.

Silence enveloped the surroundings.

The spectating crowd was utterly silent.

Wu Xiaode glanced afar, subtly nodding.

Evil Spirit Side magic, Yan Fuhu naturally powerful, can even contend with evil demons.

At this moment.

The evolved "Supreme Curse" demonstrated terrifying power.

The Heavenly Origin Sect Leader was such a figure.

His death will indeed cause a huge impact, stir great shock.

Countless cultivators will come to pay respects.

The Heavenly Origin Sect is sure to hold a grand ceremony to honor him.

Yet now——

His reputation and popularity drained, his corpse just laid outside the hall, without even a simple body bag.

No one cared about this matter.

Not only that.

His corpse was surrounded by Netherworld Evil Ghosts, disallowing anyone to extract any information from it.

——Everything of his was terminated.

And all this began simply because he caused "psychological harm" to Wu Xiaode.

——Such terrifying Evil Spirit Skill!

Wu Xiaode was reevaluating his own magic when suddenly a faint ghostly figure appeared on the corpse, glancing towards him.

This is the Evil Spirit attracted by the "Supreme Curse."

It will guard the corpse indefinitely, until it is completely devoured within seven days.

Such effect wasn't recorded in the magic notes of "Supreme Curse."

Because this isn't a direct effect of the magic, but the corpse attracted Evil Spirit to devour, fetching remnants of the magic's Evil Spirit Power.

"What is it?"

Wu Xiaode silently asked.

"On him... there is... terror..." the Evil Spirit replied.

"What is the thing?" Wu Xiaode asked again.

"Terror... I can't eat it..." the Evil Spirit said.
