Each With Ulterior Motives and Secret Schemes!

What's going on with the Yin Corpse Sect?

"How could the Old Ghost Xuan Shi have been suddenly killed?"

"Just who is this guy surnamed Lu?"

"The Yin Corpse Sect is such a huge piece of meat, and it just fell into the hands of that guy surnamed Lu? We're all old brothers, what's going on...?"

"Tell me your inside story, bro!"

On an unnamed island, several cultivators sat around a pavilion. Among them, a burly, fierce-looking Great Han looked puzzled...

Clearly, the changes at the Yin Corpse Sect have made several surrounding forces uneasy.

Upon hearing this—

The eldest of the other four, a gaunt-faced old Daoist priest in a purple robe with a goatee, was the first to respond:

"Evil Dao Daoist, do not be hasty."

"The matter of the Yin Corpse Sect is rather strange. Let's discuss it further before making a decision..."

"As for the deaths of that cultivator surnamed Lu and the Old Ghost Xuan Shi, they weren't that complicated. That day, the Old Devil Lu suddenly appeared..."

"Right in front of this old man, they broke through the Yin Corpse Sect's protective formation."

"Seeing their menacing approach, I retreated immediately, but within a short while, the Yin Corpse Sect fell silent..."

"Out of curiosity, I went back to peek, but by then, the Old Ghost Xuan Shi was already dead."

"Although I didn't witness the entire process of Old Devil Lu's attack, judging from the traces left at the scene, it was undoubtedly a one-sided crushing defeat..."

"If any of you present were to kill the Old Ghost Xuan Shi, who Dao Foundation Fourth Layer, within a quarter of an hour..."

"Among those present, who can do that?"

Who has that ability?

"I, Gu, advise you all not to covet the Yin Corpse Sect. If you cause trouble, things will get out of control..."

Don't drag me into this.

Speaking of this--

A silence fell over everyone. If what Old Ghost Gu said was true...

This Old Devil Lu, if not Golden Core cultivator, is at least a reclusive high-level cultivator at the eighth or ninth level of the Dao Foundation stage, or even the Dao Foundation Perfection stage...

Who would dare to provoke such an existence?

But here's the problem: when did such a master appear in the Eight Immortals Sea...?

There are only a handful of cultivators at the Dao Foundation Seventh Layer or above in the entire Eight Immortals Sea; they're scattered throughout, and there are only so many of them...

This is also the point that makes this matter so controversial.

"So, how should we conduct ourselves now?"

"Since the Self -Old Devil Lu took over the Yin Corpse Sect, his disciples have become increasingly unrestrained and lawless in recent days..."

"If this continues, it will eventually affect a few of our businesses."

"Should we just let it go, or should we meet with Old Devil Lu together? This can't go on forever; we need to find a way to clarify things..."

At this moment, a black-robed cultivator spoke, his body radiating a deathly aura, his flesh devoid of any color, clearly a flying zombie...

Upon hearing this...

The couple, who had been keeping a low profile all along, now spoke up and made a suggestion:

"Or..."

"Did the four of us join forces to set a trap to lure Old Devil Lu?"

"What Elder Gu said just now, while reasonable..."

"But the Old Ghost Xuan Shi, with his cultivation at the Dao Foundation Fourth Layer and countless Secret Method, shouldn't be so vulnerable even if he encountered Dao Foundation Perfection..."

"In less than a quarter of an hour, a cultivator at the Dao Foundation Fourth Layer was killed..."

"To be honest, this is really hard to believe. In my opinion, that Old Ghost Xuan Shi is probably not dead, but was defeated and fled by the Old Devil Lu..."

"That possibility is actually the greatest."

"After all..."

"Senior Gu, you haven't seen the corpse of the Old Ghost Xuan Shi either, have you?"

"Furthermore, senior, your judgment was based solely on remnants of the Dao Law from that time; you neither witnessed it firsthand nor found any remains of the corpse..."

"Perhaps you're overthinking it, senior."

Upon hearing this—

Everyone fell silent, even Old Daoist Gu began to consider this possibility...

"If the four of us join forces..."

"In total, there are only five Dao Foundation cultivator, all at the third or fourth level of the Dao Foundation, with the strongest being at the Dao Foundation Sixth Layer..."

"Regardless of the assumption, that Old Devil Lu is at least a cultivator at the Dao Foundation Seventh Layer!"

"It would be a bit difficult for us to kill him on our own, wouldn't it?"

The flying zombie spoke frankly, clearly not believing that they, a mere few, could hunt down a cultivator comparable to the Dao Foundation Seventh Layer stage...

That's just wishful thinking!

Seeing this, the white-robed cultivator surnamed Yang was not angry. Instead, he seemed prepared and said:

"Fellow Daoist Fei is absolutely right, but have you forgotten my senior brother, the Holy Son of the Seven Emotions Cult Heart Fear, Yang Fan?"

"Senior Brother Yang Fan recently advanced to the Dao Foundation Ninth Layer..."

"We're desperately missing a Higher Vehicle soul fragment to stabilize our cultivation. If Senior Brother Yang Fan joins the siege, what is this Old Devil Lu worth?!"

How are you all?

"With Senior Brother Yang Fan in charge, that Old Devil Lu is nothing but a treacherous scoundrel!"

"Aren't we just fish on a chopping board, ready to be devoured by us? Doesn't the Corpse-Raising Cult of the Yin Corpse Sect tempt you all?"

That's all there is to it--

It would be a lie to say everyone wasn't tempted; they were all itching to get started...

If a cultivator at the Dao Foundation Ninth Layer truly leads the team, this matter is practically a sure thing. If they really wipe out the Old Devil Lu, then the Yin Corpse Sect, this juicy piece of meat...

How could I not eat it?!

Seeing that both the flying zombie and the wicked man had agreed to the hunt, but Old Daoist Gu seemed extremely hesitant, based on his many years of experience...

This matter is rather strange.

It's not as simple as it seems at first glance, but something's not quite right...

Old Daoist Gu couldn't quite put his finger on it, and ultimately had no choice but to agree. If he didn't comply...

He might be the first one to get ripped off!

Among Devil Cultivator, there are hardly any virtuous ones. They appear to be gathered together, discussing how to coexist peacefully with the Old Devil Lu...

But in reality--

However, each harbored their own ulterior motives; some coveted the opportunity to inherit the mantle...

Some people wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with their senior brothers and curry favor with the Seven Emotions Cult Sect; each had their own ulterior motives.

But no matter what, the matter is now settled and there's no going back...

We're all in this together now!

It's clearly impossible to live a life completely detached from the world anymore...

As for how to Old Devil Lu out, there's no need for any special methods. Just launch a direct attack on the Yin Corpse Sect and force the Old Devil Lu to fight!

After everyone confirmed the plan, they dispersed to make final preparations...

In contrast, consider the Yin Corpse Island.

Qin Lu continued his cultivation with a contented expression. After several months of rudimentary refining, he had already forged the ten-thousand-year-old mystic ice into a long spear...

This spear is made of ten-thousand-year-old mystic ice as its base, and is infused with many kinds of spiritual metals as its core!

Because the spear is as white as snow, it is named: Frost Extreme Great Spear, Third-Tier Lower Grade Law Treasure!

Qin Lu bestowed upon the Soul Frost Ghost King, causing his combat power to surge once again, even surpassing that of any cultivator at the Dao Foundation Sixth Layer stage...

He has already become Qin Lu's strongest fighting force!
