Chapter 2546: Chapter 35: Instant Kill_3

The four Golden Core Elders pursued a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and before and after, it took only the time of a cup of tea. In such a short period, the highly cultivated Elder Xu just... died?!

Absolutely absurd!

How could this be possible?!

But the fact is right before our eyes.

An Elder from Yin Corpse Valley, trembling slightly, said: "How did Elder Xu... die..."

Elder Ma immediately stepped forward, carefully inspecting Elder Xu’s injuries, and the more he looked, the colder he felt inside.

"The flesh shows no wounds, no signs of spells, no damage from spiritual power, there’s no trace at all..."

Yet, Elder Xu died inexplicably like this.

The only sign was his eyes, scattered and lifeless, as if his soul was directly taken by a Ghost God, leaving only a dead shell.

All three of Elder Ma felt their hair stand on end, a chilling sensation across their bodies.

Then, they thought of another question:

"Who... killed Elder Xu?"

Who could have such a bizarre method to erase without a trace an Elder from the Yin Corpse Valley, a Demon Cultivator with orthodox Corpse Path inheritance, guarded by Ksitigarbha Corpse, in such a short time?

Who...

An elusive figure of a teenage boy suddenly emerged in everyone’s mind.

An Elder from Yin Corpse Valley said hoarsely, "Could it be... that boy..."

Elder Ma’s expression changed, and he immediately rebuked softly:

"Shut up! A mere Foundation Establishment could kill my Yin Corpse Valley’s Golden Core Elder Xu? Are you treating our Elders like dirt and rubble?"

"Furthermore, with what means did he kill?"

"From when we were separated to Elder Xu’s death, it was only a few blinks. Could he truly in such a short time, instantly kill a Golden Core? Unless he’s not really a Foundation Establishment but a Feather Transformation?"

The other two Yin Corpse Valley Elders solemnly nodded.

They too felt this matter was too unbelievable.

"Then... who exactly, killed Elder Xu?" one asked in a low voice.

Elder Ma remained silent, not speaking.

"Elder Ma..." Another Golden Core from Yin Corpse Valley said apprehensively, "The question now is, do we still continue to chase that boy..."

The air was silent.

Elder Ma’s eyes flickered, and he shook his head:

"No way to continue the pursuit, Elder Xu is dead, without the Ksitigarbha Corpse, we truly don’t know the trace of that boy, nor do we know where he escaped to..."

The other two Yin Corpse Valley Elders felt inexplicable relief in their hearts.

They both understood well, although Elder Xu probably didn’t die at the hands of that boy.

But Elder Xu’s death must have been related to that boy.

Otherwise, how could Elder Xu of the Golden Core Realm suddenly die without injury or illness, abruptly "drop dead" out of the blue?

Mo Hua’s figure already cast a strange shadow in the hearts of several Golden Core Elders including Elder Ma.

Though they couldn’t understand what secrets the boy was harboring.

Whether he has some kind of protective supreme treasure, holds an unoffendable cause and effect, or perhaps has a high expert secretly protecting him.

But with Elder Xu’s precedent, they could not rashly pursue anymore.

Otherwise, they might end up like Elder Xu, dying obscurely in a blink of an eye.

Moreover, what Elder Ma said was also correct.

Without Elder Xu, without the Ksitigarbha Corpse, they couldn’t locate that boy at all.

"Right, Elder Xu’s storage bag..." an Elder from Yin Corpse Valley suddenly mentioned.

Elder Ma involuntarily trembled his heart.

Storage bag!

He feigned nonchalance, but his gaze swept across the canyon surroundings like a whirlwind, filled with longing, and then disappointment moments later.

It’s gone...

Elder Ma looked up, his eyes meeting with the other two Elders, and in an instant, they understood each other’s thoughts, but none spoke it out loud.

"Seems to have been taken away by someone..."

"Did that boy take it?"

"It’s possible..."

The three exchanged fleeting glances.

For a moment, Elder Ma even thought of continuing to pursue Mo Hua, but fortunately, he forcibly suppressed it in the end.

At present, there are more pressing matters.

"No time to delay, quickly take Elder Xu’s corpse back to Yin Corpse Valley."

Elder Ma said with a somewhat solemn face, "Elder Xu raised a Ksitigarbha Corpse and signed a corpse contract. If not promptly returned to the Yin Corpse Valley, it will lead to Corpse Path backlash, devoured by Ksitigarbha, and if his flesh is gnawed off, missing pieces, we truly can’t defend ourselves."

Elder Xu had died.

The storage bag was missing.

The corpse was incomplete.

The ancestor of Elder Xu’s line in Yin Corpse Valley would surely assume they three harmed their fellow, seized inheritance, and then summoned Ksitigarbha to devour and destroy the body.

This accusation, they couldn’t bear to carry.

Just at this moment, the ground slightly rose.

Something seemed to stir beneath, and a previously gentle aura began to grow violent.

Elder Ma’s face drastically changed, "Not good, this beast, losing restraint, will ’devour its master’..."

The "strange corpses" in the Corpse Path couldn’t be measured by conventional grades.

If following the Corpse Path laws still fine, but once it defies them, no one knows how these beasts would transform.

"Quick! Isolate the ground, take Elder Xu’s body away!" Elder Ma said in a deep voice.

An Elder from Yin Corpse Valley immediately took out an iron coffin, sealing Elder Xu’s body inside the coffin, isolating the Earth Qi.

Another Elder summoned a Copper Corpse and an Iron Corpse, lifting the coffin, and quickly left the spot.

Elder Ma lingered behind, looking back into the distance as if searching for Mo Hua’s figure, finally sighed in regret:

"Too bad..."

He then suppressed his greed, stopped hesitating, and along with two other Golden Core Elders from Yin Corpse Valley, escorted Elder Xu’s body away from the area.

....

And dozens of miles away, inside a cave.

Illusion Array, Divine Mist Formation, Concealment Formation, Five Elements Gen Mountain Defense Formation, layer upon layer hiding and protecting within the cave.

Mo Hua was meditating in place.

He forcefully used the Divine Thought into sword True Jue to kill a Golden Core Elder.

Double taboo committed.

Double backlash of Evil Qi was also about to come.

Sure enough, not a moment later, the Life Chart Mo Hua suppressed forcefully began to stir.

Black Evil Qi started to reverse flow from his Life Chart, seeping into his Sea of Consciousness.

The death chill brought by the slaughter also gradually infiltrated his Divine Soul, assimilating his Taoist Heart.

Mo Hua’s skin paled ghostly white instantly.

The black on his forehead turned menacingly dark.

Like a terrifying demon fetus, about to appear in the world, filled with endless sin.

It was as if coming from the Nine Nether of the Underworld, the piercing cold seeping into the bone marrow, almost impossible to dispel, causing Mo Hua’s whole body to tremble.

This was merely the physical pain.

What made Mo Hua even more unable to endure was that his memory began to blur.

Every bit of the past, as if soaked in the turbid water condensed of Evil Qi, gradually faded, turning black and white, then starting to vanish.

Mo Hua was slowly forgetting the people and things from the past.

Even beginning to forget who he was...
