Thoroughly Clearing Out the Remnants of Corpse Valley in Yun Province
Next, Jiang Liu and the Fire-Winged Monkey worked together to launch a continuous attack on the Corpse King.
Whenever the Corpse King tries to escape, Jiang Liu intercepts him.
Then the Fire-Winged Monkey launch powerful attacks, because each of their attacks is stronger than Jiang Liu's, and they cause more damage to the Corpse King.
This left the Corpse King helpless as the two attacked him in turn, with no chance to fight back or escape.
In the end, the Corpse King could only be brutally beaten to death by Jiang Liu and the Fire-Winged Monkey. Even in death, the Corpse King could not rest in peace.
Jiang Liu stared at the corpse king's scattered bones, speechless. That Fire-Winged Monkey was truly violent; thankfully, it was his tamed beast.
The Fire-Winged Monkey looked at the Corpse King on the ground with a satisfied expression. It had finally given the Corpse King a good fight and felt very comfortable.
Then the Fire-Winged Monkey turned around gracefully and went to find food; it had expended a lot of energy in the battle just now.
Jiang Liu stayed behind to clean up the mess, because if the Corpse King's remains weren't reduced to dust, who knew if the people of Corpse Valley would be able to reforge him into Corpse Golems?
Jiang Liu didn't want to fight such a stubborn Corpse King again. Moreover, it was hard to say whether the Corpse King's strength would increase further if the people of Corpse Valley refined him into a Corpse Golems.
Jiang Liu gathered all the scattered bones of the Corpse King together, and then unleashed a move called the Frost Nether Palm, enveloping the Corpse King's bones in an extremely cold aura.
Jiang Liu watched as the Corpse King's remains turned into ice, then released the Yuan Qi in his palm, transforming it into Wind Primal Qi.
Instantly, all the ice blocks were blown away, turning into smoke and dissipating into the air.
Thus, the Corpse King, who had dominated the Great Qian Dynasty for over a hundred years, vanished without a trace.
From now on, only the legend of the Corpse King's disappearance will remain in the Jianghu. No one will ever know that he was killed by Jiang Liu.
Then, Jiang Liu began to ponder the direction from which the Corpse King had appeared.
He wanted to eliminate all the Corpse Golems created by the Corpse King to prevent future troubles in this place.
Since the Corpse King is dead, the Corpse Golems he left behind have lost their spiritual energy fluctuations.
If Jiang Liu wants to find those Corpse Golems, he can only search for them with his naked eyes.
Jiang Liu put away the Corpse King's Nine-Section Whip and some miscellaneous items, then his figure flashed and searched in the direction where the Corpse King had just appeared.
Jiang Liu looked at the vast graveyard that appeared before him and sighed inwardly. The people of Corpse Valley were indeed worthy of dealing with corpses; they really liked these kinds of places.
Jiang Liu had no choice but to inspect each graveyard one by one. Fortunately, the Corpse King hadn't bothered to be particularly secretive. Soon, Jiang Liu found the Corpse King's hiding place.
Looking at the more than twenty unfinished Corpse Golems in front of him, Jiang Liu couldn't help but feel angry at the Corpse King's lack of principles and the evil deeds committed by the people in Corpse Valley.
He discovered that at least half of these twenty-odd unfinished Corpse Golems were created by refining them while they were still alive.
Jiang Liu was relieved when all twenty-odd Corpse Golems he had created were reduced to ashes.
Then Jiang Liu remembered the people from Corpse Valley that he had discovered in Xia County before. He figured that there must still be remnants of Corpse Valley in Xia County. It seemed that he had to ask Qin Bailian to strengthen the investigation in this area.
Or perhaps there are still remnants of Corpse Valley in the entire Yunzhou region; it seems a thorough search is necessary.
The following day, Jiang Liu and the Fire-Winged Monkey embarked on their journey back to Cloud City.
A few days later, Jiang Liu returned to Yuncheng.
As soon as Jiang Liu returned to Yuncheng, he immediately summoned Qin Bailian and Yi Yue. Qin Bailian was now able to get out of bed and walk around, while Yi Yue's injuries had almost healed.
Looking at the vigorous Yi Yue, Jiang Liu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, marveling at the incredible vitality of this Grandmaster.
Qin Bailian, whose expression was gradually improving, should be fully healed soon.
Jiang Liu looked at Qin Bailian and Yi Yue and said, "People from Corpse Valley have appeared again in Xia County, and this time it's the Corpse King."
"What? The Corpse King?" Qin Bailian was shocked, then looked at Jiang Liu with an incredulous expression.
Yi Yue also looked at Jiang Liu in disbelief, because the fact that Jiang Liu was standing here unharmed meant that he must have dealt with the Corpse King.
"Alright, there's nothing to be surprised about. It's just the Corpse King! I've already taken care of it," Jiang Liu said calmly.
There wasn't a hint of embarrassment on his face. If it weren't for the Fire-Winged Monkey's intervention, how could he possibly take down the Corpse King? Dream on!
However, since the Fire-Winged Monkey was his tamed beast, it could also be considered that he dealt with the Corpse King.
"Next, you will arrange for people to conduct a thorough search of the entire Yunzhou. I don't want any more people from Corpse Valley to appear in Yunzhou," Jiang Liu instructed.
"There should only be one Grandmaster left in Corpse Valley now, so you must be careful when you go out to search, and don't fall into any traps," Jiang Liu continued, still worried.
"Yes! We will definitely pay more attention and appreciate your concern, sir." Qin Bailian and Yi Yue bowed and replied at the same time.
Jiang Liu waved his hand, and Qin Bailian and Yi Yue bowed before leaving.
Jiang Liu watched the two figures leave and thought to himself, with this arrangement, even if the people of Corpse Valley are good at hiding, they should still be able to leave some clues. At that time, the people of the Listening Wind Pavilion and Ascension Tower should be able to find them.
Qin Bailian and Yi Yue left Jiang Liu's mansion together, talking as they walked.
"Old Qin, I never expected that Lord Jiang Liu would truly live up to his reputation as a prodigy. He actually managed to kill the Corpse King of Corpse Valley, such a troublesome figure," Yi Yue said with a sigh.
"Yes! Just think about how the Corpse King roamed the Great Qian Jianghu for over a hundred years. He was much older than you and me, yet he was still killed by Lord Jiang Liu."
Moreover, I've heard that this Corpse King's physical cultivation had reached its peak, making it difficult even for ordinary Grandmaster to break through his defenses. Yet, he was killed by Lord Jiang Liu. If Lord Jiang Liu hadn't said it himself, I wouldn't have believed it at all.
Qin Bailian also sighed, his face filled with respect for Jiang Liu.
The two secretly thought that now it seemed that joining Jiang Liu was the best thing they had ever done, considering how many Grandmaster had died at Jiang Liu's hands.
Could an ordinary person kill Grandmaster so easily? This is practically killing Grandmaster as if he were Minor Grandmaster. It's as if Jiang Liu can kill anyone he wants.
Consider that the two of them had only killed one Old Ancestor of the Pang Family, and they had already lost most of their lives, while Jiang Liu had fought a corpse king all by himself.
If the Corpse King were facing the two of them, the outcome would be uncertain, let alone killing him.
Therefore, it can be seen from this that if Jiang Liu wanted to kill the two of them, it would be easy, if not effortless.
Thinking of this, both of them felt a deep sense of admiration for Jiang Liu, as well as a profound sense of fear.
After returning, the two personally led a team to search for traces of the remnants of Corpse Valley.
The two of them split the responsibility equally, each taking charge of four prefectures. As for Cloud City, since several Grandmaster reside there, no one from Corpse Valley would dare to stay.
Even so, Jiang Liu still arranged for people to search the cities under Yun County. This time, Jiang Liu had to wipe out all the people from Corpse Valley who remained in Yun Prefecture.
