I Borrowed the Great Emperor’s Brain

Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.

So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.

While other...

154. Chapter 154 Crushing to Death

Chapter 154 Crushing to Death

Not long after Chen Luo left, Elder Qu also left. His mission was not yet completed, so he couldn't keep delaying here. The status of the sect leader was unknown, so it was better to resolve some issues as soon as possible.

After the two foundation-building cultivators left, Elder An, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly had a gloomy expression. The aura of the foundation-building cultivators spread out, and the five people closest to Situ Feng were blown away in an instant.

Bang!

His body hit the railing behind him and his blood surged.

"It's all your fault that caused the trouble!"

Chen Luo failed to give him face, which made him very unhappy. When he thought that these things were caused by these people, he couldn't help but feel angry. He completely forgot what he promised when he received the benefits before, and he turned his back on them.

Situ Feng and the others did not dare to say much. They could only suppress their resentment and stand aside obediently.

They still have to rely on Elder An's protection. Without this old guy, they will be crushed to death by Chen Luo immediately.

"I have a mission for the five of you. You leave tonight."

Elder An, who had calmed down, proposed a plan.

The result of today's conversation was not ideal. The newly promoted Elder Chen did not give him much face. As a result, Elder An had to consider the lives of several people, especially Situ Feng. This guy must not die. Otherwise, it would be difficult to harvest the spiritual fields of the Situ family in the future, and the loss would not be a small amount.

"I'll go find that junior tomorrow if he still doesn't give me face." Elder An's face was uncertain.

'Forget it.'

After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, he finally gave up the idea of ​​taking action.

It is not wise to fight with someone of the same level for such a small benefit. What's more, he is an alchemist and is not good at such things.

"Thank you, Master."

Situ Feng and the other five people bowed their heads to express their gratitude.

"Um."

Elder An responded, then closed his eyes and was too lazy to look at them anymore.

Seeing this, the five people had no choice but to leave.

After leaving the training garden, the five of them went directly to the mission hall and took the "garrison mission" assigned to them by Elder An. They were disappointed when they saw it.

The northernmost part of Changnan Kingdom, close to Yangshi Sect.

That place is basically a deserted place and no one wants to go there on weekdays. I heard that occasionally there will be monks from the Corpse-Raising Sect entering to refine corpses, and if you are not careful you can lose your life.

"This old guy is such a jerk. Why didn't he tell me when he got the benefits?"

Looking at the mission site, several people looked frustrated. The spirit stones were spent, but the trouble was not solved.

"What do we do now?"

The five people gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Let's go. Let's go now."

Situ Feng saw it most clearly. The departing Elder Chen clearly did not intend to let the matter go. 20,000 spirit stones were definitely not enough for a foundation-building cultivator. It was a pity that all their money had been taken away by Elder An. Now that the other party had turned his back on them, they had no choice.

"Get some magical medicine that can conceal your aura."

Someone suggested something, and several people quickly divided the work and prepared the things needed for escape.

They have all done tribulation cultivation outside, so they naturally know the seriousness of the matter.

On Wudao Peak.

As soon as Chen Luo came back, he saw an extra person at the door. It was the "Senior Sister Shen" whom he had met once before. Judging from her appearance, her injuries had recovered. But her breathing was unstable, which should be due to the injury of her soul. It would be difficult to recover in the later stage. If nothing unexpected happened, this Senior Sister Shen should have no hope of building a foundation.

"Thank you for saving my life, uncle."

Senior Sister Shen thanked Chen Luo respectfully.

If Chen Luo hadn't intervened this time, she would have been crushed to ashes by those five people. In order to reduce trouble, the robbery cultivators did a lot of things like this.

"As long as everyone is okay, I'm glad."

Chen Luo took out the 20,000 spirit stones he had extorted from Elder An and threw them all to the two of them. He originally wanted to keep some, but now seeing Senior Sister Shen's situation, he simply took it all out.

Anyway, he was planning to go there again in the evening, and the losses would be made up sooner or later.

"This is the compensation for the five Tribulation Cultivators. You and Huang Ying should each take half."

"Thank you, uncle."

Senior Sister Shen took the storage bag and wanted to give some to Chen Luo, but Chen Luo waved his hand and refused. She and Chen Luo were not as close as Huang Ying, so she did not dare to say more. After thanking him again, she turned and left.

night.

Silent as water.

There were many places with lights on on Yaowang Peak. These were disciples who were practicing alchemy. Alchemy was a skill that required years of practice. Not everyone could make it right away. Even the lowest-level Qi-nourishing Pills would take several years of practice for a normal alchemist to make. To make a top-grade Qi-nourishing Pill, more than ten years of experience was required.

A black shadow streaked across the sky, and Chen Luo flew directly back to the back mountain of Yaowang Peak on his sword.

There are a lot fewer people here.

Unlike Wudao Peak, Yaowang Peak has a lot of disciples. Everyone who comes to Xianmen to cultivate has the dream of becoming an alchemist, which leads to the number of disciples on Yaowang Peak being several times that of other main peaks. Even in a place like the cemetery at the back mountain, there are no less than ten people living there.

The place where Chen Luo landed was very hidden. With his strength at the foundation-building stage, apart from the guarding monster at the foot of the mountain, only Elder An could detect him. Even if other disciples passed by him, they might not be able to see him.

"As expected of Yaowang Peak, the number of tombs here is nearly twice as many as Wudao Peak."

Chen Luo looked at the large graves in front of him, took out a shovel and deerskin gloves, and started working.

The noise of digging graves soon alarmed the disciples of Yaowang Peak who lived in the cemetery.

However, these people's cultivation was not high, and Chen Luo used a little soul magic to make them fall into an illusion. When they woke up from the illusion, Chen Luo had already turned over the graves.

'I have come into contact with the brain waves of a dead person. The damage is 99%. Do you want to read it?'

Finally, when he dug the 79th grave, Chen Luo successfully found the grave of a foundation-building alchemist. The number of foundation-building cultivators in the external brain increased by one again.

Two hours later.

After digging the soil, Chen Luo skillfully filled the grave and went to the courtyard where Elder An practiced. He thought there would be a battle, but he didn't expect the other party to be here.

Elder Chen, who looked a little regretful, helped the other party to "clean up" the house, and then turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

On the official road.

A horse-drawn carriage sped along the official road under the cover of night.

The five people did not choose to fly by flying, as competing with the Foundation Establishment cultivators in speed was the stupidest idea, so they thought of a way. They found a carriage in the market, and then bought some talismans that could conceal their breath and stick them on the outside. This method could deceive most of the Qi Refining cultivators.

As for how to build the foundation, few people know.

The carriage was silent.

All five of them were very tired. They had emptied their family savings in the past few days just to stay alive, and ended up fleeing in a panic.

"We are here to serve the sect and complete a mission. That newly promoted foundation building elder will definitely not dare to blatantly kill us."

One of the robbery cultivators couldn't stand this atmosphere and broke the silence.

"I'm not worried about this matter, but I'm thinking about what we should do next." Situ Feng looked back at the sect that was disappearing far behind him, hatred flashing in his eyes.

"Old Man An took the money but didn't do the job. I will remember this grudge. When I build my foundation in the future, I will definitely settle the score with him!"

"And that guy named Chen! He just had good luck to build his foundation, didn't he? Wait until we brothers succeed in building our foundation, and then we'll surround and kill him together. And then we'll kill the two women he cares about!"

After the conversation started, the negative emotions of the five people burst out.

The night wind blows.

A dark cloud floated over the horizon, and above the cloud, Chen Luo, dressed in a black robe, looked down at the carriage below. In his hand, a dark talisman flickered.

These five people were very cautious, but they couldn't resist him in the daytime. The look they gave each other at that time was not in vain. After entering the foundation building stage, the foundation-building cultivators who mainly cultivate the soul can leave the power of the soul on the opponent without anyone noticing. These five people have the power of the soul left by Chen Luo.

“After building the foundation, it seems that I haven’t tested the power of the Heart Demonic Art yet.”

Chen Luo raised his hand, and a circle of black gas condensed in his palm. As the power gathered, it seemed that some invisible thing was drawn out from the darkness.

This kind of power is invisible and ordinary people cannot see it at all.

But Chen Luo, who was practicing the 'Heart Demon Technique', saw it.

He saw a white shadow emerge from nothingness, and then circle around the black ball in his hand. The lower half of the body was like a mist, dragging long afterimages in the air. It seemed that there was some kind of low-frequency speech floating in his ears, but when he listened carefully, there was nothing.

"I'll give you a ride."

Chen Luo stretched out his palm and pressed lightly downwards.

The black energy in his hand flattened, and then suddenly exploded, dispersing into a cloud of mist. The pale smoke swirled out like a long snake and merged into the carriage. The five people who were talking in the carriage did not feel any changes at all, and absorbed this power.

"You want to kill me?!"

A loud shout was suddenly heard, and Situ Feng, among the five people, suddenly roared with bloodshot eyes.

He roared, took out a long whip-shaped weapon in his hand, and swept it at the four people around him.

The spiritual power exploded and the carriage was blown into powder on the spot.

"I already knew you had bad intentions."

The other few people also took out their magic weapons and attacked the opposite side in the most brutal way they had ever seen.

The five people who had gathered together to discuss future revenge just a second ago, started to kill each other recklessly the next second. Everyone saw their mortal enemy, and the most violent side of their emotions was completely released.

After a fierce fight, the five men were determined to be alive or dead in just a few moments.

The four were chopped into pieces by Situ Feng, with debris flying everywhere.

The victorious Situ Feng grabbed his companion's heart, stood on the ruins and laughed up to the sky. His eyes were bloodshot, and no one knew what he saw.

“Hahahaha, I finally established my foundation!!”

BANG!!

When he laughed to a certain point, the breath in his body suddenly stagnated, and then his body suddenly swelled up and exploded into pieces like a balloon.

After the bloody rain, the ground was in a mess.

Chen Luo stood in the air, watching the white shadow fly out from the bodies of the five people, then circled in the air and disappeared.

“Not bad.”

After dissipating his power, Chen Luo glanced indifferently at the five corpses below, and his figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the clouds.
