Corpse Sewing Secret Technique, Heartless Green Turtle

This moment's commotion, and that scene.

Drew almost everyone's attention, even the second-generation cultivators still fighting on Sunset Mountain, the Eternal Life Cult evil cultivators, and the Imperial Court soldiers.

And those with self-awareness, all turned to look.

For no other reason than that what Yelü Tianzheng said was too shocking and eye-catching.

"What do you mean, 'sewn onto his body'?"

"Could it be that Yelü Tianzheng sewed all the high officials of the provincial government, except for Bao Hanzhang, onto himself?"

Ge Xian initially thought his understanding might be flawed.

But the next scene proved he wasn't wrong.

The instant the skin sac melted, a "giant" in the truest sense of the word appeared.

Yelü Tianzheng!

He had transformed into a massive lump of flesh and blood, like a mountain, and on it were sewn numerous grotesque heads and limbs. A chaotic pillar of Qi surged into the sky, its colors mottled and colliding within. Faintly, the illusory figures of various Spirit Gods could be seen appearing.

And at the center was Yelü Tianzheng himself, now transformed into a "half-human half-snake."

After a few glances, everyone averted their eyes, not daring to look further.

The pollution was simply too complex and intense.

Ge Xian held on for a moment longer. Though his face was also filled with shock, he withdrew his gaze, unwilling to look at the twisted, terrifying sight.

His previous guess had directly become reality.

Ge Xian didn't recognize all the heads, which were clearly those of "high officials."

But the few he did recognize were enough to confirm his suspicions.

"The two Councilors of State of Jiangzhe Province, Zhao Jin and Xie Tianxiang."

"These two were second only to Yelü Tianzheng and Bao Hanzhang in status. According to the Secret Manuals, they each worshipped the [Heavenly Dog Spirit God] and the [War Disaster Spirit God]."

"The former is easy to understand, it's the Heavenly Dog."

"The latter, judging by Lord Xie's appearance, must be the legendary 'Zhu Yan'."

"Both were at the Peak Mortal Transformation Realm. They were still a bit short of stepping into the Divine Connection Realm, and now they have no chance. Their fates are tragic. After being killed by Yelü Tianzheng, they were sewn onto his body, becoming new organs for Yelü Tianzheng, just like the other officials."

"It's clear Yelü Tianzheng is cultivating a very new kind of immortality. I wonder who taught him."

This truth wasn't just seen by Ge Xian.

All the onlookers on the battlefield had vaguely guessed it.

And Bao Hanzhang, after being greatly alarmed, fell into a rage.

Uncontrollably, he roared:

"Yelü Tianzheng, you beast, old turtle, green turtle."

"How dare you do this? If your vicious habit resurfaced, you should have just sought medicine from the Prime Minister. Why did you switch to the [Eternal Life Cult]?"

"Even if you switched, why did you kill so many colleagues? Even if you used the Eternal Life Cult's 'Corpse Sewing Secret Technique' to usurp their power, how could you digest it?"

"What's the price?"

"How many more days can your soul endure before it splits?"

As Bao Hanzhang cursed, the people on the battlefield were even more shocked.

Good heavens!

Not only had Yelü Tianzheng sold the entire Jiangzhe Province under his nose, but he had also quietly rounded up and killed almost all the high-ranking officials in the province, sewing them onto himself and using them as strange organs.

One must know that each of these high officials was in the Mortal Transformation Realm, and the spirit gods they worshipped had their own origins, and their Innate Divine Abilities were not weak.

Now, all of them belonged to Yelü Tianzheng.

He had also transformed from a Celestial Pivot Prime Minister Spirit Demon into a Chimera that could be called Legendary Grade.

Logically, after sewing so many Mortal Transformation Corpses onto himself, with different demonic auras, divine abilities, and bloodlines, he should have already experienced conflict and Qi Deviation.

But he hadn't. Besides the exquisiteness of the Eternal Life Cult's Corpse Sewing Secret Technique, it was probably also because he was originally a Celestial Pivot Prime Minister Spirit Demon. He understood the foundations of ghosts and gods, so he could naturally coordinate and arrange things, allowing for perfect fusion.

Ge Xian watched, marveling.

At the same time, he began to sweat for Bao Hanzhang. His Political Ideology was average, but he knew that Bao Hanzhang was facing not only an opportunity but also danger.

In fact, the danger was even greater.

"The calamity here is too great."

"The Imperial Court gave military power to Bao Hanzhang precisely to have him control Yelü Tianzheng. Given the current situation, Bao Hanzhang has completely failed."

"Today, merely suppressing the rebellion is not enough. He must also keep Yelü Tianzheng and the Eternal Life Cult here. Otherwise, the Imperial Court might suspect him of also having a vicious habit resurface, and they might even dig out his eyes, despite him worshipping the [Straight and Curved Spirit God]. His Curved Straight Divine Eyes would be useless."

"Of course, this is also making things difficult for Bao Hanzhang. If someone else were to handle these matters, they would definitely not escape his notice. But Yelü Tianzheng, he worships the [Myriad Laws Celestial Pivot Prime Minister], and with his talent of comprehending Myriad Gods, nothing is hidden from him, including Bao Hanzhang's secrets."

"Murder, arson, selling provinces and sewing corpses, it's all too easy."

"It's a pity the Imperial Court won't listen to your explanations, they only look at the results."

These were Ge Xian's thoughts.

The same thoughts surfaced in Lord Bao's mind.

The rebellion was quelled!

But should Yelü Tianzheng be left alive?

Bao Hanzhang wasn't confident. At this moment, he was forcibly holding his old rival in place, while his former colleagues swarmed him, bombarding him with their Innate Divine Abilities. In moments, his Righteous Spirit Demon Body sustained considerable damage.

Although he continuously unleashed his Clarity Divine Fire, attempting to free his colleagues, it was useless.

As soon as he melted one, a second colleague with a Manifested Spirit Demon Dharma Body would push forward.

Before long, the one he had melted would revive.

This cycle continued, and Bao Hanzhang was clearly at a disadvantage.

If he hadn't summoned a meteor in time to break free, he would have likely ended up in Yelü Tianzheng's Bloody and Mutilated Embrace.

And at this moment, Yelü Tianzheng's voice echoed across the battlefield once more.

Ge Xian, having heard many of Yelü Tianzheng's "dark secrets," had assumed that this rather legendary Border Governor, this Royal Male Living Off Wife's Fortune, was a sharp and twisted individual whose voice should match.

Before he revealed his True Form, he had been quite frenzied.

Unexpectedly, now that he had revealed his Flesh and Blood Fused Body, he had become calm. His voice was even somewhat pleasant.

It was mellow and gentle, inspiring a sense of goodwill in anyone who heard it.

"Bao Hanzhang, Lord Bao, Brother Bao."

"You are truly too pedantic. With things having reached this point, you still ask questions to which you already know the answers."

"And you want me to beg for medicine? Heh, if the Imperial Court still had medicine, would the world have collapsed to this extent? Would those Rebel Armies have been able to rise up?"

"If you have some free time, you can ask Tuotuo if he has any means to help me suppress my vicious habit."

"Hmph, not a single one."

"As for those colleagues, they were merely officials in the same court, not my sons or daughters, not my father or mother. Killing them might even be a form of liberation."

"Right, you also asked about the price?"

As he spoke this sentence, Yelü Tianzheng, who had been as gentle as a gentleman, suddenly changed.

As if truly "schizophrenic," his elegant face contorted, and intense rage surged.

That massive lump of flesh and blood, with its various limbs, writhed. Organs like flesh wings and membrane wings flapped wildly, lifting him from the ground and giving chase to Bao Hanzhang, who had taken to the air.

In an instant, the area below was plunged into near darkness.

Cover the Sky and Sun!

Looking up at that battlefield, all one could see was writhing flesh and blood, foul-smelling and terrifying.

Who could have imagined that the Celestial Pivot Prime Minister Spirit Demon, respected wherever he went, would become like this?

At this moment, the contrast between the two Spirit Connection Realm Dharma bodies became apparent, a true case of "a dwarf beside a giant."

Bao Hanzhang, who had been suppressing Yelü Tianzheng earlier, now found himself in perilous straits. Several times, he was almost grabbed by Yelü Tianzheng, nearly falling victim to a "hug of death" where he would be submerged in the endless flesh or strangled.

Amidst it all, Yelü Tianzheng roared in fury:

"The price?"

"I didn't have to pay any price at all. The reward I got from selling Jiangzhe Province was enough for me to absorb and refine my colleagues without any obstacles, plundering the power of the spirit gods for my own use."

"I didn't just cultivate the [Corpse Sewing Secret Technique]. I was originally supposed to obtain the Spirit Desire Union Blood Seizing Divine Art. As long as I could refine the Red Pill Army, I could step into the Manifestation Realm with it. I could also become the new High Priest of the Eternal Life Cult and obtain the secret technique passed down in the cult, the Spirit Desire Union Blood Seizing Divine Art. I could then have brutally killed that stinking woman and seized all her Crimson Crow Bloodline, talent, and secret techniques."

"The new bloodline I would have birthed in the future would also possess the Crimson Crow Body, and my Yelü Family would become the Crimson Crow Imperial Clan."

"But you ruined all of it."

"That stinking woman escaped, and my position as High Priest is gone. Just one step away, only one step..."

"Why, why..."

Listening to these roars, Ge Xian felt an urge to retreat back into his Vajra Bowl.

Fortunately, they were some distance from the battlefield, and Yelü Tianzheng was still entangled with Bao Hanzhang. Otherwise, if Yelü Yuyan, that madwoman, guessed that he, Ge Huolang, was the one who informed on her, and exposed him, the frenzied Yelü Tianzheng would likely charge at him.

Fear notwithstanding, it did not stop Ge Xian from complaining:

"If secrets are not kept, they cannot be accomplished."

"This Old Green Turtle has reached the level of a High Official, yet he doesn't understand such a simple principle. For such a major matter, even his own daughter should have been kept in the dark about most details, especially since Yelü Yuyan is a fearless lunatic whose Heart and Soul is already twisted."

"If Yelü Yuyan knew, her personal maidservant would also know, and naturally, I would know as well."

"And I merely sold information for some benefits, to earn some favor. Who would have thought it would lead to these consequences?"

"Fortunately, the various parties who know I sold the information are keeping their mouths shut, so I won't be exposed to the world."

"Although gaining fame that way would completely offend the [Eternal Life Cult] and the Yelü Family, and might even provoke the Qingqiu Fox Clan... compared to these troubles, who cares about mere fame."

"Now I can only hope Lord Bao is strong enough to completely eliminate Yelü Tianzheng and the entire Yelü Family here, so I won't be left with great enemies."

Ge Huolang was muttering when his eyes suddenly lit up.

Currently, Yelü Tianzheng held the absolute advantage on the battlefield, but he seemed unaware that he had fallen into Bao Hanzhang's kite-flying combat strategy.

Having fused with the Mortal Transformation Corpses of several officials, Yelü Tianzheng's strength had surpassed Bao Hanzhang's.

But his Demon Body was too large, and his speed was inferior.

What's more, Bao Hanzhang possessed Innate Divine Abilities like [Meteorite Spell], [Curved Straight Divine Eyes], [Clarity Divine Fire]... He was just circling Yelü Tianzheng, appearing to be in mortal danger at any moment.

But at every critical juncture, he managed to evade.

For a time, the two were locked in a stalemate again.

Of course, if the fight continued without any other interference, Bao Hanzhang would undoubtedly die.

But Ge Xian knew that Yelü Tianzheng would be the one to ultimately perish.

Besides being kited, his subordinates and Spirit Desire Blood Soldiers were being slaughtered, their numbers rapidly decreasing.

"This world has Spirit Connection Experts capable of destroying mountains, as well as extraordinary armies like the Red Pill Army and Quanfeng Army."

The destructive power of the latter's charge, as long as the number of soldiers is sufficient, the army formation is strong enough, and their edge is sharp enough, can also kill the former.

"Originally, both these armies were to be annihilated by the [Red Pill Army], but now the situation is reversed."

"Once the Jiangzhe Province garrison finishes slaughtering the remaining remnants of the Eternal Life Cult, they can turn around and cooperate with Bao Hanzhang to surround and kill Yelü Tianzheng... Hmm, a very familiar command technique. One moment facing a life-or-death crisis, the next moment devising a plan to lure Yelü Tianzheng away, allowing the garrison to calmly slaughter the remaining soldiers."

"With Bao Hanzhang's talent, plus [Tuotuo]'s support, his official career is likely to shine brightly."

"I have bestowed considerable kindness upon the Bao Family, does this count as another powerful backer for me?"

Thinking of this, Ge Xian couldn't help but smile again.

He reaffirmed his choice, as if he could already see a large amount of benefits beckoning him.

But soon, he saw something.

His naked Dragon Body was "frightened" to stand up from the Vajra Bowl, and he cursed at the distant battlefield:

"My mother's Old Green Turtle... So he deliberately fell into the trap. Chasing Bao Hanzhang was fake, pretending to flee and escape was the real intention. How dirty, how treacherous."

"How heartless! Your daughter and son-in-law are still trapped on the battlefield and can't escape."

That's right!

The reason Ge Xian was so flustered was because he was witnessing it with his own eyes.

Yelü Tianzheng, who had been distorted and frenzied, vowing to kill Bao Hanzhang, had actually abandoned the organs of his Mortal Transformation Corpse, causing it to self-destruct to obstruct Bao Hanzhang.

As for himself, while distancing himself from the battlefield, he suddenly transformed into a mass of thick blood clouds and fled towards the outside of Jiangzhe Province.

Looking at the flames burning around the blood clouds, the surging mist, and the "Membrane Wings" formed from flesh and blood, it was clear that this fellow was about to unleash terrifying speed.

The others on the battlefield!

Including Yelü Yuyan, Lu Hualong, and Li Wa, these three key figures.

At this moment, they were all stunned by Yelü Tianzheng's actions.

Especially the eight-foot Li Wa. The reason she had endured and not fled, and had even tried to capture Bai Fugui and Bao Mingjing, was because she had placed her hopes on Yelü Tianzheng.

She thought that this person, who was after all a "Candidate High Priest" favored by the sect and also a Provincial Prime Minister of the Dayuan Dynasty, must possess a multitude of divine abilities and methods. He might not be able to turn the tide, but it shouldn't be difficult for him to take them and escape.

How could she have imagined that she would be stabbed in the back like this?

After all, his beloved biological daughter and son-in-law were still by his side.

Thus, Li Wa turned her head in disbelief and looked at Yelü Yuyan. Her usually cold voice trembled slightly as she asked:

"Are you, by any chance, not his daughter?"
