Who Was Righteous, Who Was Demonic?

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Beside the heavy gate where Humble Origins fat trembled, his small eyes filled with terror. "You... you've awakened it? Do you even know what you've done?!"

The woman's voice still lingered in the air, a soft laugh that sounded like that of a charming young girl, innocent and naive. "I know, it's just an Ancient Corpse at the third level of the Cloud Ascension Realm, isn't it? Let it come out for some fresh air, it's so pitiful lying there all alone."

"Get some fresh air..." Humble Origins shouted, "What do you know? This is a zombie, devoid of humanity, it will only mindlessly slaughter any living thing it sees, including yourself!"

The woman was still laughing, "She's unaware, how cute!"

The Humble Origins retorted angrily, "Are you out of your mind?! If you had already refined the Corpse Puppet and could control it, that would be one thing, but you clearly can't even control it yourself, so what's the point of doing this?!"

The woman's voice was still laughing, but her words were chilling. "Because Minghe came... She's so powerful, and I can't beat her. If she doesn't die, how can I obtain the Corpse Puppet?"

"If she dies, and you can't control the Corpse Puppet in time, this area for hundreds of miles will become a wasteland!"

"So what if he/she dies? What does it have to do with me?"

Humble Origins shouted, and violent lightning struck the darkness at the end of the corridor.

A chilling aura spread, completely dissolving his lightning.

The tremors inside the door were more pronounced.

Humble Origins realizing that his opponent's strength was roughly equal to his own, and that a decisive victory would take an unknown amount of time, Hanmen lost all will to fight. He turned and fled, shouting, "I will not continue!"

"A clever yet cowardly little mouse." A woman slowly emerged from the darkness, clad in a black veil. Her slender figure appeared to be adorned with what seemed like lace, yet upon closer inspection, no explicit glimpse was visible. As her face became clearer, she was revealed to be an extremely pretty young girl, no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. Her face, though delicate and charming, was pale and bloodless. A playful smile flickered in her eyes, but deeper within lay a chilling indifference and desolation.

Most striking was the mark on her forehead, a black flame-like mark that flickered in the darkness, and amidst the swirling Ghost Qi, it seemed as if the cries of ghosts could be heard.

She raised her head slightly, seemingly looking in the direction where Minghe and Qin Yi were.

"The Tianshu Divine Palace First Hall, Senior Sister Minghe. Hehe..." She murmured to herself, "Immortal Dao compassion? It all depends on whether you care about saving your own life or risk your life to protect the people of this place. Everyone is acting in their own self-interest, so who is truly righteous and who is truly evil?"

As she spoke, her body disappeared into the Black Shadow and was never seen again.

Minghe had completely purified the Qingxu Iron Corpse, but his expression was far from relaxed. Instead, he stared intently at the direction from which the tremor had come.

A yellow, fleshy ball rolled over from afar. "Hurry up! The original owner of this place is about to wake up! We can't fight him here, at least not in this cave abode. We have to lure him outside first."

Minghe shook his head slightly. "I can't leave... Once I leave, it won't be able to sense any living beings in the cave abode, and it will inevitably activate the earth's veins and draw life force, wiping out all living things within at least a hundred miles. You go first. Even if you want to lure it out, someone has to stay here to do it."

After saying that, he took out a set of Array Flag from his ring and began to set up the array, seemingly determined to entangle with the Ancient Corpse here.

The Humble Origins was stunned for a moment, then stamped his foot and said, "Fine, you guys are awesome, if you're not leaving, I'm leaving."

Minghe closed her eyes and cast a spell, whispering, "Qin Yi, go too."

The Humble Origins had already turned and run away.

Qin Yi grabbed him. "Wait, you know the details of this place, don't you?"

It seems that Humble Origins Dong and Minghe have already guessed the situation, but he is not very clear about it. How can he not ask for clarification?

The Humble Origins stamped his foot and said, "I was originally a mutated rat in this cave abode. This is my old home! I went out to wander for a few years before Qingxu took over. How could I not know the details of this place?"

"... I see." Qin Yi said, "This Ancient Corpse is very strong?"

Humble Origins said, "This cultivator, because his obsession remained at the moment of his death, had a wisp of True Spirit that did not perish, thus he could become a Yin Corpse. He foresaw this at the time of his death, so he designed a completely sealed tomb for himself, isolating him from external Spiritual Qi. Even if he absorbed the earth's veins and achieved the body of a Yin Corpse, he would never wake up, so there was no major problem... But then an accident happened..."

He paused, then said helplessly, "At that moment, I absorbed the immortal Immortal Qi that overflowed from his body before his death and became a demon. But I couldn't stay still, so I bit through the door he had sealed and went out to enjoy myself..."

Qin Yi: "..."

Humble Origins continued, "Actually, it wouldn't have been a big deal at first; I could have just blocked the hole later. But when I thought about it and came back, I found that someone had already occupied the place. Once outsiders get involved, things change, especially if it's someone with ulterior motives who wants to create Corpse Puppet..."

Qin Yi finally understood the whole story. "So you brought outsiders here to get rid of Qingxu, and then went to the person in charge to try and solve the problem?"

"Yes, I originally thought there was only Qingxu, and you could handle him. But I just found out there are others behind him..."

"Why the hell didn't you say so sooner? What was the point of keeping it a secret?"

"Why didn't you say so earlier? What if you were also interested in the Ancient Corpse or his tomb treasures?"

Qin Yi: "..."

Humble Origins said helplessly, "Actually, neither Qingxu nor the person behind him could enter his tomb. They communicated with the Ancient Corpse through my rat hole. All I had to do was block that hole. But it was too late; the Ancient Corpse had already been awakened ahead of time."

Before he finished speaking, a withered hand came crashing through the right wall of the stone house with a loud "bang".

The palm passed right through the spot where the Qingxu Iron Corpse had been leaning, piercing its head to pieces.

Humble Origins turned and ran, but a flash of electricity was seen, and he had already disappeared without a trace.

Minghe sat cross-legged among the Array Flag and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, you should leave too. This is Ancient Corpse from the Soaring Cloud Realm, and I cannot protect you."

Qin Yi was certainly not the kind of annoying Sand Sculpture who would say "I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving" in a Qiong Yao drama. He knew that he had no room to intervene in the battle at the Soaring Cloud Realm. Staying here would only harm Minghe, so he quickly left the Long Corridor.

"Roar!" A withered corpse dressed in a Daoist robe burst through the wall and rushed straight towards Minghe.

The moment the withered corpse appeared, Qin Yi suddenly felt as if Law Power in his body had been instantly drained. He was completely empty and couldn't muster any Law Power, not even a basic Law Technique.

Before he could even ask Liusu, the Array Flag that Minghe had set up seemed to wither and droop, rendering the array useless. The withered corpse's claws pierced Minghe's body, and Minghe, who seemed to be trying to use illusion magic to dodge, appeared unable to move. However, there was no surprise in her beautiful eyes. She pressed a sword incantation with her fingers, and the divine sword automatically protected its master, clashing head-on with the withered corpse's claws.

Smoke rose from the withered corpse's hands, as if they had been scorched by the divine sword, and Minghe's face turned pale.

Liusu said urgently, "The earth's veins have been corrupted by the Yin Corpse, tainted by foul air, causing the Three Flowers Wither. This place is now forbidden from being used by magic!"

Qin Yi looked at Minghe's calm expression from afar. Had she anticipated this situation?
