Mother's Corpse, Vicious Habit Resurgence

Chapter 50: Mother's Corpse, Vicious Habit Resurgence

Li Wa was greatly frightened, and Yelü Yuyan and Lu Hualong were also shocked.

The two looked at their old father, who was about to flee madly, with different expressions. Yelü Yuyan was horrified and disgusted, while Lu Hualong was surprised, thinking, "I've seen it all, and they can still play like this."

Bao Hanzhang was equally surprised. The kite-flying tactic was going well, so why did the kite suddenly cut the string and try to escape?

Unable to help himself, the upright official couldn't help but spit:

"As expected of you, Old Turtle."

"I thought you were fooled by my simple trick. So you used me to leave behind this pile of bait and loose ends so you could escape at your leisure."

"If I were to pursue you, I'm afraid you would have attacked the civilians."

Bao Hanzhang and Yelü Tianzheng, as political rivals, had been locked in battle for many years and knew each other inside and out.

Seeing Yelü Tianzheng flee so decisively, not even caring about his daughter and son-in-law, he must have made a ruthless decision.

If he didn't leave any room for maneuver and pursued him directly.

Yelü Tianzheng would surely be cornered and would directly attack the civilians, forcing Bao Hanzhang to let him pass.

Because of this concern, Bao Hanzhang hesitated and ultimately did not intervene, intending to watch his old opponent, who was already unrecognizable, take the corpses and limbs of his fellow Mortal Transformation Realm colleagues and turn into a blood cloud, fleeing the Jiangzhe Province.

If nothing unexpected happened, this would be the outcome: the main culprit escapes, leaving behind many remnants of the Eternal Life Cult, Evil Cultivators, and Yelü Family's daughter and son-in-law.

Although Bao Hanzhang would not receive great merit for this, he would not be punished. With [Tuotuo]'s mediation, he might even be credited with some merit, and his promotion would be hopeful.

But the unexpected, indeed, happened immediately.

Just as Yelü Tianzheng was almost out of the Qiantang County area.

Suddenly, Yelü Yuyan, who had been silent, glared at Ge Xian, who was leisurely lying in the [Vajra Bowl]. Ge Xian saw struggle and unwillingness in her eyes, which finally turned into a ruthless look as if she were about to sever all desires.

The next moment, she made an unexpected move.

From her Fox Tail Sac, she suddenly threw out a "Mother's Corpse."

Then Yelü Yuyan vomited a large amount of vital blood filled with demonic energy. In an instant, it soaked through. The corpse, which had been as black as charcoal, immediately began to recover.

Before long, a half-human, half-fox Fox Woman, who looked gentle and lovely, was born.

This Fox Woman!

Although she was a Demon Fox, to anyone who saw her, she was a gentle and virtuous woman, inspiring affection at first glance.

This kind of temperament was completely different from the frenzied father and daughter, Yelü Tianzheng and Yelü Yuyan.

When she spoke, the colossal blood cloud that was almost disappearing into the horizon suddenly stopped.

"Master, where are you going?"

"Do you still remember the promise you made me years ago when I was being roasted by the Madam?"

The Fox Woman's voice was indeed infinitely gentle.

And by some Demon Art of Yelü Yuyan's, this voice directly echoed in the depths of Yelü Tianzheng's soul.

The blood cloud froze, then accelerated sharply, merely changing direction.

Yelü Tianzheng, he had actually returned.

Within a few breaths, he returned to the battlefield, once again revealing that hideous and astonishing stitched corpse pháp thân. The ferocious face in the center had softened into one of deep affection.

The already chaotic demonic energy within him now erupted like a bursting spring.

The "colleagues" stitched onto his body swayed and roared, some weeping, some laughing wildly... Any Cultivator with a slightly weaker soul would be driven mad by this sight.

Cultivators with a bit more knowledge could immediately discern: [Yelü Tianzheng is suffering from "Vicious Habit Resurgence" and cannot suppress it at all...]

This scene also allowed Ge Xian and the others to immediately guess the Fox Woman's identity.

Ge Xian, who knew the most private gossip, widened his eyes as he watched, exclaiming inwardly that he was gaining knowledge.

"Yelü Yuyan!"

"This Madwoman actually had such a ruthless trick hidden away. She must have known what vicious habit of Yelü Tianzheng's was resurfacing, which is why she could use her own mother's [mummified corpse] at the critical moment to stimulate and control Yelü Tianzheng. It's vicious, but extremely effective."

"What kind of vicious habit could it be? It's so powerful that even a demon of the Spirit Connection Realm cannot forcibly suppress it?"

"Looking at the situation, could it be a perversion?"

While Ge Xian was shocked.

Yelü Tianzheng seemed like a completely different person. Although still hideous, he was incredibly devoted, with an expression that seemed permanently etched onto his face, impossible to erase.

Guilt!

This great traitor and corrupt official, who could sell off the entire Jiangzhe Province, actually displayed an intense, lingering sense of guilt. Even Bao Hanzhang was stunned.

Thus, unable to react in time, he was crushed through the battlefield and charged towards Sunset Mountain.

As the old monster swept forward, he wailed:

"Yu Niang, my Yu Niang."

"It's all my fault, I was cowardly, I was incompetent."

"That damned jealous woman was having affairs outside, yet she wouldn't let me get close to you. Back then, everything I had was because of her, so I didn't dare resist. I could only watch her torment you... The one who should die is me, it's me, Yelü Tianzheng."

"Right, right, I promised you I'd take good care of Yuyan, Jade Phoenix."

"They're both doing very well now. I gave your fox tribe inheritance to Yuyan and found her a highly reputable husband to cover up her shame. He dotes on her immensely, giving her whatever she wants... Jade Phoenix is doing even better. He received the Chiwu Inheritance and has gone to study under the Myriad Laws Sect Master. His Dao Path and career prospects are both incredibly bright."

Yelü Tianzheng charged forward, howling, while rambling on, as if truly reminiscing with his deceased wife.

The scene was truly bizarre and horrifying.

What kind of person was Yelü Tianzheng?

Even Ge Xian, present at the scene, knew perfectly well.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was a top-tier scumbag, a cunning and shameless great demon, a heartless individual who would abandon everything for himself.

After all, selling off a province's territory was something very few people in the world could do.

Yet, this kind of demonic scumbag was now displaying such a devoted appearance, and with genuine emotion, entirely from the heart, without the slightest hint of fakery. Who wouldn't find it strange?

As everyone was shocked, Ge Xian's soul was stirred, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

Without regard for anything else, he quickly transmitted a message to Bai Fugui and Bao Mingjing.

"Yelü Yuyan is using the Mother's Corpse to provoke Yelü Tianzheng. She definitely wants him to cover their retreat so she can escape."

"But this Fox Demon is insane. Before she flees, she'll undoubtedly seek revenge on us, even at the cost of sacrificing Yelü Tianzheng. Quickly evade her sharp edge, or you'll suffer."

Ge Xian's words actually contained a hidden agenda.

He predicted Yelü Yuyan would take the opportunity for revenge, but it would definitely be aimed at him, Ge Huolang. Bai Fugui and Bao Mingjing were not her targets.

However, these two, not as cunning as he, felt his words made perfect sense.

They moved simultaneously, heading towards Bao Hanzhang for refuge.

As soon as they moved, Yelü Yuyan, who had been staring intently at Ge Xian, noticed. This Fox Woman's vicious habit was likely related to paranoia and holding grudges. She had completely fixated on Ge Xian, determined to kill him.

She wanted to control Yelü Tianzheng, capture Ge Xian first, and then ensure her own safe departure.

However, the secret technique she was using required the "Mother's Corpse" as a medium. If she went forward herself to order Yelü Tianzheng around, she might just get slapped to death by her shameless father.

She had to patiently use the blood medium to control her mother and gently speak again:

"Master, since you promised me, how can you flee alone?"

"No matter what, you must protect Yuyan. If she wants anything, you should also give it to her."

"Yes, yes, yes, Yu Niang, you're right. Your husband agrees to everything."

"Yu Niang, Tianzheng misses you so much..."

As he spoke, Yelü Tianzheng even began to wail.

From his mutated, giant eyes, actual blood and tears flowed.

Compared to before, he was more than just a different person; it was an indescribable, horrifying self-modification.

This rather comical scene made Ge Xian tremble with fear, and at the same time, it aroused his utmost vigilance:

"If I don't develop any vicious habits in the future, that's fine. But if I'm unlucky enough to contract one, I must hide it completely."

"I absolutely cannot let others see it. Otherwise, if they find something or someone that targets it, won't I fall into their trap?"

"If I could see other people's vicious habits, I could make good use of them..."

As Ge Xian's thoughts raced.

Bai Fugui and Bao Mingjing were also leading him around Sunset Mountain to rendezvous with Bao Hanzhang and the extraordinary army that had finished dealing with the remnants of the Eternal Life Cult.

During this process, they happened to encounter [Yelü Tianzheng] from the side.

In that instant, Ge Xian felt as if he had fallen into a purgatory of flesh and blood.

Even within the Vajra Bowl, he could feel an incomparably foul, bloody aura drilling into his nostrils. A mountain of flesh and blood, covering the sky and sun, swept forward. The corpses of high officials embedded and stitched onto it seemed to be within arm's reach, their features lifelike, and even the Dao Qi within their bodies remained active.

Before he could marvel, a long-suppressed roar from Yelü Yuyan echoed across the field:

"Yelü Tianzheng, quickly capture that stinking loach in the Vajra Bowl and send me away at all costs."

"Everything other than me can be sacrificed, including yourself."

Upon hearing these two sentences, a clear struggle appeared on Yelü Tianzheng's large face.

But soon, the "mummified mother" leaned in and said gently again, "Master, listen to Yuyan."
