After hearing this, Chen Changsheng suddenly felt his head swelling.

In this vast sea of people, where was he supposed to find Nian Sheng?

Seeing Chen Changsheng's face full of worry, Yixiu immediately smiled. "Actually, you don't need to worry too much."

"Martial Uncle has already reached Nascent Soul Perfection and is only one step away from Spirit Transformation."

"With her strength, she'll live well no matter where she goes."

"Oh, right. How did you suddenly reach the Golden Core Realm? I remember your cultivation talent used to be terrible!"

"And Martial Uncle seemed to have known you for a long time. Just how long have you lived?"

Faced with Yixiu's questions, Chen Changsheng did not answer. Instead, he removed Little White Wolf's restriction and restored her human form.

With her cultivation restored, Wanyan Yue neither fled nor fought Chen Changsheng to the death. She merely sat there blankly.

But gradually, two streams of tears flowed from Wanyan Yue's eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng said speechlessly, "No, why are you crying? It wasn't me who killed your father."

"Under those circumstances, you should be happy that you managed to keep your life."

The moment those words came out, Wanyan Yue bristled.

"Why can't I cry? The father I loved most used me, and now he's dead."

"If something like that happened to you, would you cry or not?"

After venting at Chen Changsheng, Wanyan Yue wiped away her tears, lowered her head, and spoke softly.

"Thank you for collecting my father's body. Although he used me, he was still my father."

"If not for you, he probably would have ended up exposed in the wilderness."

Hearing this, Yixiu at the side said quietly, "Um, your father wouldn't have been left exposed in the wilderness."

"Master Yuhua needs your father's corpse and bloodline, so even if Chen Changsheng buried him, he would most likely still be dug up."

The instant he said this, Wanyan Yue's icy gaze swept toward Yixiu.

Seeing that, Yixiu realized he had misspoken and could only cover his mouth and obediently retreat to the side.

After forcing Yixiu back with a look, Wanyan Yue turned to Chen Changsheng again.

"What do you plan to do next?"

"Nothing. I've seen through this cultivation world. I plan to return to my old trade and sell coffins."

"As for the Great Qian Dynasty, I don't plan to go back for now."

"What about you two?"

Hearing Chen Changsheng's question, Wanyan Yue thought for a moment before speaking.

"Master Yuhua has taken control of the Night Moon Kingdom. If this continues for long, the people of the Night Moon Kingdom will surely face a catastrophic disaster."

"So no matter what, I have to go back."

After receiving Wanyan Yue's answer, Chen Changsheng looked at Yixiu.

"What about you?"

"Amitabha!"

"The Great Qian Dynasty and the Night Moon Kingdom are both plunged in deep waters and scorching fire. As they say, if I do not enter hell, who will? This humble monk is willing to feed demons with his own body."

"Speak human."

"I'm taking Heavenly Buddha Temple and running farther away. Master Yuhua won't spare Heavenly Buddha Temple."

Hearing Yixiu's answer, Chen Changsheng nodded.

Boom!

Eight coffins appeared before Yixiu.

"These are my master's and senior brothers' bodies. Since you're going back, take them back with you along the way."

"Also, this is the feng shui treasure land I chose for them. Just bury them according to the addresses marked here."

Looking at the marked map in his hand, then at Chen Changsheng's movements, Yixiu's mouth twitched.

"You're so practiced at this. You couldn't have prepared all this long ago, could you?"

"Congratulations, you guessed right. Ever since I entered Supreme Clarity Temple, I prepared coffins and feng shui treasure lands for all my fellow disciples."

"That included my master and grandmaster."

"By your logic, you prepared one for me too?"

"Yes, but you have to pay. For the sake of our acquaintance, I'll give you twenty percent off."

After hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Yixiu's face twisted slightly.

"Chen Changsheng, I'm still alive and well. Isn't it a little too early for you to prepare a coffin and burial plot for me?"

"Preparing early saves trouble later. It's not like you won't die. That day will come sooner or later."

Yixiu: "..."

You really do have a point.

"No, I'm a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator now. It's not impossible that I might reach the Spirit Transformation Realm in the future."

"Do Spirit Transformation cultivators not die?"

Chen Changsheng's words once again left Yixiu speechless.

Yixiu: "..."

For some reason, I can never outtalk you whenever we speak.

Seeing that he could not win an argument against Chen Changsheng, Yixiu could only put away the coffins and map.

"Fine, I appreciate your kindness, but it's still uncertain which one of us will be collecting the other's body."

"By the way, who was that Hundred Defeats Immortal? Without his phantom in the Night Moon Kingdom, we would have been dead for sure."

"How about giving me some clues? Then I can go look for this senior."

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng waved his hand. "Don't even think about it."

"Hundred Defeats Immortal was at least a figure from two thousand years ago. By now, he's probably dead with not even ashes left."

"I discovered a stone coffin he left behind in the Boundless Secret Realm. It recorded some of Hundred Defeats Immortal's deeds."

"Originally, he had intended to pass away in meditation within the Boundless Secret Realm, but later he chose another place."

"Before, I simply thought this senior had found a very good location."

"But after discovering the secret of the Bronze Ancient Hall, I found that things did not seem so simple."

"I was only trying it on a whim. I never expected it to actually work."

Hearing this, Wanyan Yue asked curiously.

"What if the stone coffin left behind by Hundred Defeats Immortal hadn't worked?"

"Then I'd have had no choice but to seek refuge with my grandmaster. It's true that I sell coffins, but that doesn't mean I want to die."

Wanyan Yue: "..."

The logic was sound, but why could you say it so casually?

She truly did not know whether to call him cold-blooded and heartless, or deeply loyal and righteous.

If he was cold-blooded and heartless, he had traveled thousands of miles to the Night Moon Kingdom and risked nine deaths for one chance at life, all to collect an old friend's body.

If he was deeply loyal and righteous, he spoke of seeking refuge with the enemy without the slightest burden in his heart.

After explaining some further details to Yixiu and the others, Chen Changsheng waved his hand.

"You should go. Even if Hundred Defeats Immortal's stone coffin didn't deal with Master Yuhua, it will still cause him no small amount of trouble."

"Now that you know his secret, he won't dare kill you openly."

"Be careful, and you should be able to survive."

Looking at the calm Chen Changsheng, Yixiu asked in confusion.

"If we go back now, danger will be lurking on every side. Aren't you going to try to persuade us?"

"The heavens will rain, mothers will marry, and all living things will inevitably march toward their end."

"The only difference is whether it comes sooner or later."

"This is the road you chose for yourselves. Why should I persuade you?"

"At most, I'll give you an extra discount on the coffins I sell you!"

Yixiu: "..."

It made sense, but you really were a bastard.
