Sudden Change in the Dead of Night

However, a single trip wouldn't be enough to just sell a few.

He needed to accumulate more.

With that in mind, Wen Jiu slept for a short while before getting up to draw talismans again, preparing to churn out a batch of Ranked Soul Seizing Talismans.

Over the next few days, Wen Jiu continued the same routine: selling unranked Soul Seizing Talismans to earn spirit stones, then using those spirit stones to buy ranked talisman paper.

Selling sixty unranked Soul Seizing Talismans.

Could buy thirty sheets of ranked talisman paper.

Although selling sixty Soul Seizing Talismans took a bit longer, as long as Wen Jiu could sell them, it was fine.

Thus, over seven consecutive days, with about sixteen failures and four successes each day.

Wen Jiu successfully accumulated thirty-seven ranked Soul Seizing Talismans, and unexpectedly, two of them were of exceptionally good quality.

They could be considered excellent.

They might even be able to injure a Qi Refining Second Layer cultivator.

If the opponent wasn't at full strength, he might even be able to kill them.

However, for Wen Jiu, they weren't of much use, but they could still fetch a good price.

At the same time.

The proficiency experience for Soul Seizing Talismans also leveled up again.

Reaching the Great Accomplishment stage.

[Soul Seizing Talisman (Great Accomplishment 0/500)]

Just as Wen Jiu was planning to head to the rogue cultivator market in White Birch Mountain, Wang Nian suddenly visited.

He asked Wen Jiu if he wanted to team up for a sect mission, assuring him that with him around, it would definitely be completed smoothly.

Any sect mission could earn at least a few low-grade spirit stones.

Of course.

Wang Nian's main goal was to take Wen Jiu out for some practical experience.

After all, fine swords are forged through sharpening.

Wen Jiu refused.

But he was curious, what had happened that made Wang Nian suddenly want to take on missions and leave the sect.

"In the past few days, two more affiliated family forces have been wiped out. One of them didn't even leave a single survivor; even those who weren't home were killed!" Wang Nian said with a grave expression, then added, "So Flying Immortal Peak has posted quite a few missions to find the mastermind behind it. The rewards are very generous; any single mission can earn you what you'd get from the Night Patrol Division in two or three months."

Wen Jiu's expression changed, his mind not on the reward at all, "Are the remnants of the Blood Robe Tower responsible again?"

"How did you know?" Wang Nian asked, puzzled.

Didn't Wen Jiu stay cooped up at home?

Wen Jiu replied truthfully, "When I was selling talismans at the trading market before, I overheard some old cultivators talking."

Wang Nian's eyes lit up with understanding. He continued, "Are you sure you don't want to go? With me here, I can definitely cover for you."

"No, no."

Wen Jiu shook his head and refused.

He suddenly felt that this wasn't the right time to leave Flying Immortal Peak, so he put away his thoughts of heading to the rogue cultivator market.

He might as well save up more.

Then sell them all at once.

Anyway, with Three Rivers Ghost Concealment and Blood Corpse Escape, he wasn't afraid of being targeted by rogue cultivators.

Seeing Wen Jiu refuse again, Wang Nian didn't insist further and left, only leaving behind a sentence, "If you don't take this step today, you'll eventually have to fight others... Without combat experience, you'll be at a disadvantage before the battle even begins!"

Just on the third day after Wen Jiu refused Wang Nian and continued to cultivate peacefully at home, he suddenly felt that people had entered Dead Corpse Land.

And quite a lot of them.

Because the Black Zombie sensed a large amount of living human presence.

Just as Wen Jiu was surprised, he heard a sudden explosion from the central area of Dead Corpse Land.

BOOM--

A purplish-black fire lotus suddenly bloomed.

It dispersed the yin energy and shattered the night's tranquility.

At this moment, Flying Immortal Peak, which had fallen silent late at night, instantly awoke. A large number of Night Patrol Division disciples moved first.

Wen Jiu quickly found a treetop to observe the situation in Dead Corpse Land. What met his eyes was that the formation sealing the central area of Dead Corpse Land had been forcefully broken by the giant fire lotus. The Night Patrol Division disciples who arrived subsequently were all engulfed by the spreading fire lotus.

The scene was extremely grand.

It made Wen Jiu's heart tighten involuntarily.

Seeing this, Wen Jiu didn't have time to think. He immediately communicated with the Black Zombie, which burst out from underground and used Blood Corpse Escape to return to Wen Jiu's residence.

"Fortunately, I had foresight and left Corpse Qi imprints all over Flying Immortal Peak, making it easier to deal with sudden changes."

Wen Jiu immediately packed his valuables into his Storage Bag and went out with the Black Zombie.

As soon as he opened the door.

He saw Wang Nian's wife peeking out from inside.

Her brows were filled with worry.

Wen Jiu didn't think much of it and quickly said, "Sister-in-law, come with me. We're too close to Dead Corpse Land, and we need to leave quickly."

Wang Nian had treated him well, so how could he abandon his wife when Wang Nian wasn't around?

Wang's Wife immediately nodded upon hearing this and pushed the door open to leave.

This was in stark contrast to Wen Jiu, who even packed his Ranked Talisman Brush.

And so.

Wen Jiu kept leading Wang's Wife towards Flying Immortal Peak.

Only when they reached the foot of Flying Immortal Peak did Wen Jiu finally relax.

The next moment.

Sounds of battle erupted around Dead Corpse Land, and spells exploded in the dark night.

Illuminating the night.

And attracting more disciples from Flying Immortal Peak.

Looking up, Wen Jiu said nothing as he watched this scene.

As more and more Flying Immortal Peak disciples rushed over, the battle at Dead Corpse Land intensified. But as many managers and deacons arrived, this sudden commotion seemed to be nearing its end.

However, at that very moment, a huge explosion sounded from the summit of Flying Immortal Peak, followed by the sudden blooming of a giant purple-black lotus.

The commotion was even greater than that at Dead Corpse Land.

"Damn it... Sister-in-law, let's go!"

Wen Jiu's expression hardened, and he quickly moved.

He rapidly distanced himself from Flying Immortal Peak.

After reaching a distance of four to five li, Wen Jiu looked back and saw two figures fiercely battling in the sky above Flying Immortal Peak.

Even from afar, he could feel the surging Mana, a powerful aura that no longer belonged to early-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

Qi Refining Fourth Layer?

Qi Refining Fifth Layer?

No.

Wen Jiu felt it might be Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

"No, we need to get further away. When gods fight, mortals suffer." Wen Jiu glanced at the panicked Wang's Wife beside him.

Keep retreating!

As Wen Jiu retreated, talismans and spells continuously collided. However, the male cultivator in black, whose Mana was purple-black, seemed to have the upper hand in the battle in the sky. After a moment, he struck the other down into the mountain forest with a palm.

Following that, several sinister cackles echoed through the sky.

But the male cultivator in black did not press his advantage. Instead, he suddenly transformed into a swift light and headed towards Dead Corpse Land.

A hundred breaths later.

The Dead Corpse Land, which had gradually quieted down, erupted once more with numerous spells and talismans.

The sounds of explosions continued for about a quarter of an hour before gradually fading.

However, Wen Jiu continued to watch from afar, not moving.

A quarter of an hour.

Half an hour.

An hour passed. Only when he was certain there were no more movements did Wen Jiu take Wang's Wife back towards their home.

"Sister-in-law, if anything happens, just call me." After escorting Wang's Wife home, Wen Jiu quickly returned to his room.

The Black Zombie guarded the door.

He cultivated all night.

Preparing to assess the situation in the morning.

To be honest, he still hadn't processed it. The sudden change at Flying Immortal Peak in the middle of the night had come and gone so quickly.

What exactly had happened?

The next morning.

Wen Jiu then rushed to the Dead Corpse Land.

Upon arriving, he saw many corpses laid out outside the Dead Corpse Land. There were ordinary disciples from Flying Immortal Peak.

There were also people from the Night Patrol Division and the Monster Slaying Division.

No less than a hundred people.

In addition to them, there were also two to three hundred Black Zombies who had night-attacked the Dead Corpse Land.

It was only because he was accustomed to the Dead Corpse Land that he could handle it. If any other newly initiated cultivator saw this scene, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep for several nights.

After all, knowing about the cruelty of the cultivation world was one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes was another.

Seeing Wen Jiu arrive, Liu Xiao sized him up from head to toe. Seeing that Wen Jiu was unharmed, he didn't say much more.

After helping to bury the bodies, Wen Jiu went to Flying Immortal Peak to take a look. He found that half of Flying Immortal Peak was already covered by formations.

Ordinary disciples were not allowed on the mountain at all.

Two days later, upon asking, he found out that the Peak Master had fought a great battle that night with the remnants of the Blood Robe Tower who had attacked Flying Immortal Peak. He had unfortunately been seriously injured, and the corpse of Xue Mo San Qian had also been stolen.

Because of this, everyone on Flying Immortal Peak had been in a rather low mood for the past two days, as if their past pride had been severely trampled underfoot.

But in Wen Jiu's opinion.

Something was wrong.

Something was very wrong.

Xue Mo San Qian's corpse had been in his hands the entire time. He had even secretly glanced at it when he was burying the bodies earlier.

What did that remnant of the Blood Robe Tower steal?

Did they steal nothing?

It was on this day that Wang Nian returned in a hurry.

Upon learning about the events of that night, Wang Nian couldn't help but sigh, "I knew I wasn't wrong about you, kid!"

Wen Jiu nodded.

He refused Wang Nian's subsequent invitation to treat him to drinks.

Because he had a feeling that the matter with the Blood Robe Tower was just beginning.

As expected.

Just four days later, the Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak suddenly appeared on Flying Immortal Peak. His aura was not as powerful as before, seeming to confirm the rumors on Flying Immortal Peak that he had been seriously injured that night.

Along with his appearance, two enormous flying ships also took off.

An order followed.

Flying Immortal Peak.

Those at Qi Refining Second Layer and above.

All aboard the flying ships!

Depart immediately and take revenge on the remnants of the Blood Robe Tower!

At this moment, Wen Jiu saw many things clearly.

The corpses were fake.

The Peak Master's injury was probably also fake.

However.

Why did those at Qi Refining Second Layer also have to go?

"Damn it, I can't avoid it." Wen Jiu was very helpless.

Can't I just stay peacefully in the Dead Corpse Land?
