Death of Patriarch Du Tian

"It's you..." Qingyan Daoist nun was filled with regret.

Before she breathed her last, her last thought was that perhaps she shouldn't have gotten involved in Su Gan's longevity matter in the first place, and then she wouldn't have ended up like this.

A suction force emanated from Song Wen's hand, pulling Qingyan Daogu's soul into her Sea of Consciousness.

Sea of Consciousness Black Hole and devoured his soul.

Using the Secret Method of the Corpse Dao, Song Wen sealed the bodies of Su Gan and Qingyan nun, took out the Corpse-Nurturing Coffin, and placed the three bodies, including Su Wenshi, into the Corpse Coffin.

Song Wen collected all of Qingyan Daoist's severed limbs.

The corpses of these three are excellent materials for crafting Corpse Puppet, and should not be wasted easily.

Even if Song Wen doesn't need it, he can still sell it on the black market for a good price.

Song Wen then went to the place where Su Anping was killed. Su Anping had been cleaved into pieces by Du Tianhua's sword, and his body was too badly shattered to be worth refining into a corpse.

His soul was still inside his head, but it was devoured by Song Wen.

Song Wen searched around but couldn't find Su Anping's storage ring; it must have been taken by Du Tianhua.

After taking all the benefits he could, Song Wen arrived at the Spirit-Hiding Mist.

The six Sacred Beetle Gu still hadn't seen Du Tianhua emerge.

"Could it be that he was too badly injured and was hiding in the Spirit-Hiding Mist to heal?"

Song Wen made his own guess.

The longer Song Wen stayed in this place, the more variables there would be, which would be more disadvantageous for Song Wen.

Song Wen decided to enter the Spirit-Hiding Mist again to search. If he still couldn't find Du Tianhua's location, he would have to give up.

Du Tianhua is seriously injured and is likely hiding somewhere, secretly healing his wounds.

The area shrouded in the Spirit-Hiding Mist was an open space, and the most likely place for Du Tianhua to hide was undoubtedly underground.

He may have dug an underground cave and hidden inside. As long as the entrance is well concealed, so that no one can tell that it has been dug, and the Spirit-Hiding Mist shields Divine Sense, it will be very difficult to find him.

This time, the one entering the mist is the Black-Armored Ghost King.

Six Sacred Beetle Gu, Silver Corpse, and Song Wen were positioned in different locations outside the mist, monitoring its movements.

The Ghost King entered the mist, wielding his ghost sword, and slashed at the ground repeatedly. The Sword Qi, several meters long and formed from ghostly energy, struck the soft earth, easily penetrating ten meters into the ground, causing the soil to fly up in an instant.

The Ghost King moved along the edge of the mist, gradually shrinking towards its center in concentric circles.

Its speed was extremely fast; in just a few dozen breaths, more than half of the area covered by the Spirit-Hiding Mist was turned upside down. Only a small area in the center remained untouched.

In the heart of the fog, a patch of grass on the ground shifted, and Du Tianhua peeked out from within it.

He glared fiercely in the direction of the Ghost King. The noise from the Ghost King's plowing was so great that it was impossible not to notice.

The Ghost King will soon discover this place; hiding underground won't save us.

Du Tianhua crawled out from underground, extended his Divine Sense, and determined his location.

He was unaffected by the Spirit-Hiding Mist and easily sensed the locations of the Silver Corpse and Song Wen outside the mist. He avoided the areas guarded by the two, silently moved to the edge of the mist, and then rode his flying sword to suddenly rush out of the mist.

Du Tianhua's sudden appearance immediately caught Song Wen's attention, but he found that he couldn't catch up with him at all.

In order to escape, Du Tianhua disregarded his internal injuries and used all his magical Law Power to unleash his fastest escape speed.

The two Sacred Beetle Gu closest to him didn't even have time to react before he swept past them from a short distance away.

Song Wen's eyes narrowed; he couldn't let Du Tianhua escape so easily.

A surge of Blood Qi erupted from his body, Song Wen's figure suddenly vanished into the blood mist.

Song Wen reappeared, now standing a hundred meters directly in front of Du Tianhua.

This time, using the Blood Escape Technique did not cause Song Wen any discomfort. On the contrary, because he consumed some of his Blood Qi, he felt much more relaxed.

He tossed the short spear forward, and in an instant, lightning crackled around it, carrying immense power, and it hurtled straight for Du Tianhua's face.

Upon seeing Song Wen suddenly appear in front of him, Du Tianhua's expression changed drastically.

His injuries were too severe. He had just undergone a brief healing session in the Spirit-Hiding Mist, which only managed to suppress the damage and prevent it from worsening.

At this moment, he was flying at full speed on his sword, pushing his body to its final limit. If he continued to fight, with a missing arm and a leg and severe internal injuries, his body might collapse at any moment due to the severity of his injuries.

Seeing the short spear getting closer and closer, Du Tianhua had no choice but to fight to the death.

Song Wen only has the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. Without the help of the Silver Corpse and the Ghost King, Du Tianhua still has a fighting chance. As long as he can defeat Song Wen, he can continue to escape.

Du Tianhua did not slow down, forcefully urging his magic Law Power, and with a flash of dark red sword light, he slashed at the short spear.

"When!"

A sharp, piercing sound rang out.

The crimson flying sword and the short spear were thrown into the air.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed from the sky and headed straight for Du Tianhua below.

At this point, there was no time to activate the crimson flying sword to block the Great Cavern Divine Thunder. Du Tianhua had no choice but to channel his Law Power, wielding his broadsword and slashing it towards the sky above.

The lightning bolt was shattered by a single strike.

"Puff!"

Du Tianhua's forced activation of his magical Law Power aggravated his internal injuries, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Even more fatally, his speed was drastically reduced, and the Silver Corpse had already caught up.

Like a predatory beast, the Silver Corpse opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp fangs, and bit down on Du Tianhua's right shoulder.

"Ah!"

Amidst Du Tianhua's painful screams, the Silver Corpse yanked hard, tearing off his entire right arm.

Immediately afterwards, the Silver Corpse's claws pierced directly through Du Tianhua's chest.

The Du Clan's Golden Core Ancestor is dead!

After devouring Du Tianhua's soul, Song Wen sealed his body and placed it in Corpse-Nurturing Coffin.

Song Wen leaped into the air and arrived at the top of Clearpeace Mountain, where he released all the Sacred Beetle Gu.

A moment later, with the help of the Sacred Beetle Gu, Song Wen took in everything within a sixteen-mile radius.

There wasn't a single living person to be seen on Clearpeace Mountain.

Those Su Clan cultivators who were lucky enough to survive have long since fled to who knows where.

All the important places of the Su Clan on Clearpeace Mountain were reduced to ruins, looted by the Du Clan cultivators.

Even the Su family's transmission tower on the mountaintop was completely empty, but this was probably not the work of the Du family, but rather the work of the surviving members of the Su family.

Some of those outside cultivators died at the hands of the Du Clan cultivators, while others escaped to an unknown location.

The Su Clan's spiritual fields to the west of Clearpeace Mountain were also in a state of utter devastation.

The vast majority of the spirit medicine have been harvested, with only a few common, low-grade spirit medicine remaining. This must have been the work of the Du Clan.

However, the ordinary people in Su Clan Town were not greatly affected.

Before the Du Clan could even plunder Su Clan Town, they were driven away by Qingyan. However, most of the town's inhabitants had already fled, leaving only some elderly, weak, women, and children who were unable to move around easily.

Song Wen shook his head; there was nothing left to seize on Clearpeace Mountain.

However, the Sacred Beetle Gu did find the corpses of seventeen Su Clan Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment, all of whom were killed by Qingyan.

These corpses were badly damaged and of little value, but they yielded seventeen storage rings.
