The corpse of the old ancestor... As a former disciple of the Ten Myriad Poisons Sect Myriad Poisons Sect who once defected, the Corpse Refining Old Ancestor might very well be on the Myriad Poisons Sect's kill list.
Keep it for now; maybe I can go to the Myriad Poisons Sect to collect a reward when I go to the far west.
Judging from her perspective as the Young Pavilion Master the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, the price for hunting down a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in the cultivation world is generally around several hundred thousand Spirit Stone, so this corpse is still worth a lot of Spirit Stone stones.
"Then thank you very much True Lord He Gui! Hahaha." Bai Lan laughed heartily and stopped being so polite.
Amidst the harmonious atmosphere, the Elder Fu in his mind uttered a questioning sound.
"Hiss..."
Bai Lan's eyes lit up. " Elder Fu, could there be something else inside this corpse...?"
"Stop with that expectant tone. This body doesn't contain the soul you're looking for; it's been tampered with." Elder Fu sneered, "Such clumsy methods could only be done by those brainless Demonic Path Evil Cultivator. An unknown Gu worm, the Child Gu, is sealed inside this body. Once you touch this corpse, the Child Gu will invade your body."
Bai Lan's gaze slowly shifted to True Lord He Gui, who was chatting and laughing with her, and her heart sank slightly.
That old bastard is so dishonest...
While pretending not to have noticed anything, Bai Lan accepted the corpse-refining body with a smile, exchanged polite greetings with He Gui, and continued to communicate with Elder Fu.
"I sensed something was amiss when I entered the hall, but I wasn't sure until now, seeing this body, I understand completely." Elder Fu said in a deep voice, "This He Gui before you is not the original He Gui."
"Could it be possession?"
No, that's not right. Both of these people are at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so there's no possibility that a Corpse Refiner could possess Crane Returning Body after being defeated in battle.
The reason why Qiu Tian Chuji was able to possess He Mian, who was at the Late Qi Refining Stage of Qi Refining, with his Early Qi Refining Stage, was because he had been eating Soul Nurturing Pill like candy while he was a ghost, and his soul strength was already comparable to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining stage.
Moreover, He Mian Mian's physical body was nearly killed by her, and with the help of Xuan Sha Zi's experience in possessing a body at the infant level, as well as Bai Lan's frantic save-loading and other multiple assistances, Qiu Tian finally succeeded in possessing the body.
But how could a Nascent Soul cultivator, under such difficult circumstances, possess Crane Return's body? There's no such Cultivation Method passed down in his cave abode's inheritance.
He even disguised himself so convincingly that he dared to come directly to the Azure Sect to meet with Daoist Cultivator, almost fooling her completely.
"It's not possession. It seems that the corpse refiner merged its remaining remnant soul into He Gui's Divine Sense, becoming one with He Gui."
" Divine Sense can be manipulated like this?"
If the spirit soul of the spirit ...
A Nascent Soul cultivator's soul cannot remain in the outside world for long. However, without a treasure like the Soul Nurturing Wood to nurture the soul, the soul will eventually dissipate into the world.
If one cannot find a suitable body to possess quickly, and does not wish to completely dissipate into the world, there is another path to take.
That is to forcibly merge one's own soul with another person's, after which you are in me and I am in you. After the fusion, one may no longer be oneself. This can also be considered another way of existing in the world.
"This method is Demonic Path and evil technique. I thought it had been passed down to the underworld, but I never expected that the Corpse Refiner would actually have it..." Elder Fu pondered and said, "But judging from the current situation, the Corpse Refiner's soul is stronger than He Gui's. The evil of the Devil Cultivator has overwhelmed the humanity within He Gui. He has actually disregarded our past friendship and come to seek revenge on you."
Bai Lan had been kind to He Gui, but also harbored hatred towards Lian Shi. Given these complex emotions, it's no wonder that He Gui came to see her as soon as the matter was over.
Unfortunately, the grudges and gratitude did not balance out, and the emotions of the corpse cultivator took over, leading him to actively seek revenge.
"..."
"Why aren't you saying anything? It's really nothing serious. With your skills, Crane Return is no match for you."
"What a huge loss! I should have just saved him back then." Bai Lan shook her head and sighed, secretly regretting it.
"..." Elder Fu remained silent for a long time, then said nothing more.
True Person Qing He was very pleased to see Bai Bai chatting happily, and said with a smile, "Seeing that Junior Sister and Uncle Hegui are having a pleasant conversation, I am quite relieved. In fact, Uncle Hegui came here this time because he has obtained some important information about the Demonic Palace and plans to use Junior Sister Bai's strength to wipe out the Soul Binding Valley. What do you think, Junior Sister Bai?"
"We captured several disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect and extracted a lot of information about the Demonic Palace from them. If we make good use of it, we will surely be able to create a new Demonic Path for the Demonic Path!" He Gui spoke with an air of righteousness, showing no sign of necrophilia.
Bai Lan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and began to ponder to herself.
It was the Corpse Refining Society that did it. After all, Soul Binding Valley was his old enemy. It's reasonable for him to use the power of Daoist Cultivator to destroy his old enemy after becoming Daoist Cultivator.
But upon closer reflection, perhaps it wasn't the evil thoughts of the corpse refiner that prevailed, but rather the two little people in He Gui's mind who did the deed.
He Gui avenged the destruction of the sect for Lian Shi and severed the Inner Demon Karma between himself and Bai Lan.
Meanwhile, the Corpse Refiner can use the intelligence he has gathered in the Demonic Path to win more resources for He Gui in the war between the righteous and the demonic. In any case, the Corpse Refining Sect is gone, so there is no need to have any more thoughts. From now on, he can live a peaceful life as the Golden Qi Sect Old Ancestor.
"What does Junior Nephew Bai think?" True Lord He Gui asked with a smile.
Bai Lan smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, "Since it is a matter of slaying demons and eliminating evil, how could this junior refuse? I will naturally obey the order!"
"Hehehe, three days from now, Junior Nephew Bai will lead the Azure Sect cultivators to Yin Feng Ravine to meet me. At that time, we will work together to destroy the Demonic Path!" He Gui patted Bai Lan on the shoulder.
The philanthropist Bai Lan, mindful of past friendships, was unwilling to simply send his former Uncle-Master He Gui away. After considering for 0 seconds, he decided to find a way to bring True Lord He Gui into the Spirit Taming Sect.
If He Gui, now the Golden Qi Sect Old Ancestor, were to join the Spirit Taming Sect, then half of the Golden Qi Sect would be at her disposal, hehehe.
Bai Lan didn't care about the Golden Qi Sect, because it was just a background sect in the story of Long Aotian and Bai Ling, the kind of force that appeared in the dialogue all year round but rarely appeared in the protagonist's sight.
Unfortunately, it was fate, and we had no choice but to do it.
After True Lord He Gui's figure completely disappeared from the Azure Sect, True Person Qing He turned to Bai Lan and said, "Junior Sister Bai, you've worked hard this time. You destroyed A Demonic Path Sect without a single casualty. I thought you were just boasting because of your youthful arrogance, but I was wrong..."
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, you jest. This is purely a coincidence..."
Qing He smiled knowingly, "It's alright. I won't pry into your private affairs. With your talent, Junior Sister will surely become a pillar of our Azure Sect in the future."
After True Person Qing He finished speaking, he took out a Jade Slip from his Storage Bag and handed it to Bai Lan.
